【Chapter 90】

A hungry child stealing meat was a crime. But they wouldn’t be executed for it.

Because it’s pitiful.

‘But Bibi, just because he’s a monster…’

The guide’s vision blurred with tears as he tightly hugged the transport cage.

‘The butcher shop owner tried to chase Bibi away the moment he saw him. So naturally, the Lady would also…’

It was only natural.

If humans belonged in the relatively warm duchy in the north, then monsters belonged at the cold and harsh end of the world beyond the ice wall.

But.

“…We’re very close.”

Despite that, he couldn’t abandon the small friend who only looked at him.

“B-Bibi and I are very close…”

“How close? If you tell Bibi to sit still, would Bibi be able to sit?”

“If he’s f-full, has relieved himself, digested well, and it’s not a dangerous situation…”

The guide squeezed his eyes shut.

‘Bibi. Let’s go to the end of the world together!’

Making such a tragic resolution in his heart.

“Then, then he can sit!”

But in the end, feeling sad and scared, he burst into tears with a wail.

Since he said they were this close, she would surely chase him beyond the ice wall together with Bibi.

How terrifying would that place full of monsters be…

“Then shall we open the cage door?”

“…What?”

While he was making an even more tearful face, filled with frightening imagination.

A warm question that seemed to warm his heart reached him, and the guide opened his closed eyes.

Through his blurry vision, he saw clear red eyes meeting his gaze.

“I want to see him too. Your friend.”

‘…Friend?’

She called him friend. A monster.

When the secret nickname only he had claimed came from someone else’s mouth, the guide was momentarily stunned.

And after a moment.

“Ah, yes. Yes!”

He vigorously wiped his teary eyes and nodded.

* * *

There was a reason I told the guide to open the cage.

It wasn’t because I trusted the attachment between the guide and the monster, nor because I determined the monster wasn’t dangerous.

I simply trusted the information from the original story thoroughly.

“Th-then I’ll open the door.”

The guide, who seemed stunned with his mouth agape at my unexpected suggestion, held out the cage.

Then as he fumbled to open the door—

“Lady. It’s dangerous.”

The guard who had approached us quickly blocked his hand.

“Not attacking earlier might have just been coincidence. Peri are dangerous creatures that pounce on people’s faces the moment they see them. I’ve never seen a docile Peri among all the ones I’ve encountered while hunting monsters.”

I stared at the guard and asked back.

“You attacked the Peri too, didn’t you?”

“What? Of course. When monsters attack us, would we just stand there?”

“So you fought back. If you were trying to shake hands out of friendliness and the other person pointed a sword at you, you wouldn’t just stupidly take it, right?”

“…That’s true, but…”

He closed his mouth, pondering my words. He must have remembered what he heard from the guide earlier.

That Peri pouncing on faces wasn’t an attack, but an attempt to greet.

‘Hmm. I need to take action.’

Walking over, I vigorously pushed the back of the guard who was blinking blankly.

“Well— if we’re confused, we can figure it out! Our guard should go over there for now!”

Though it wasn’t much force, he retreated obediently with an “uh…” sound, not knowing what to do with my command.

“Guide, continue what you were doing!”

After sending the guard away, I firmly grasped the guide’s shoulders—

“Yes…”

The guide, whose eyes had become bright and eager, nodded and opened the cage door.

“B-but Peri seems to be feeling restless right now. He might jump out suddenly…”

As he seemed anxious himself and tried to give a rambling explanation, I immediately stopped him.

“Ah. That’s fine.”

There’s a way for everything.

“You can handle Peri’s greeting.”

Saying that, I completely hid behind the guide who was crouching in front of the cage door—

“Kek!”

The moment the door opened, an excited Peri jumped out and pounced on the guide’s face.

“Kyu!”

After expressing his joy, Peri climbed onto the guide’s head and began dancing vigorously, shaking his long body.

“Kyu, kyu!”

I touched my nose while watching the dancing cotton ball.

…Mm. He’s cute as expected.

“B-Bibi, this isn’t the time for that. You have something to show the Lady…”

After dancing excitedly for a while, Peri was caught by the guide’s hand and brought down to the ground.

The guide knelt in front of him and pointed to the floor.

“Bibi, sit.”

“Kkut?”

At his command, Peri tilted his head for a moment, then immediately sat down with his bottom on the ground.

“?”

The watching guard and Mai’s mouths fell open.

I also watched the scene with interest.

And—

“Bibi, jump.”

When the guide made a fist in the air and commanded—

Boing!

Peri crouched his spring-like body then stretched it out and flew up.

“…L-Lady. Why does that monster understand human speech? Is there some magic cast on it?”

“No. It’s not magic.”

I shook my head vigorously and answered.

“It’s not that Peri knows human language, but that the guide seems to be communicating in Peri’s language.”

That’s right.

The guide in the original novel was a monster trainer, simply put, this world’s Kang Hyeong-ok.

He was the first person in this world to conceive the concept of ‘training monsters,’ and a man who played quite a powerful antagonist role against the male protagonist who started monster extermination.

‘As expected, the main characters in novels are different from the start. He looked like just a snotty kid, so I thought he was a growth-type character, but he had skills from childhood.’

“Bibi. Paw.”

This time the guide extended his small palm toward Peri. I was watching his relaxed face with satisfaction when—

“Kak!”

“Aaaaah!”

Suddenly irritated, Peri bit the guide’s hand.

“Gasp. A-are you okay?!”

“See! It’s a dangerous monster after all…!”

Startled by this sight, I hurriedly ran to the Guide, and the Guard drew his sword.

“I, I forgot. Bi, Bibi gets sulky if you give him commands more than three times without treats.”

“…I, I see.”

Treats are essential during training. Note taken.

The embarrassed Guard sheathed his sword again.

Anyway, it seemed we had properly proven that the Guide could train monsters.

Though still weak, just showing this much possibility was enough.

I looked at the Guide with sparkling eyes and made him an offer.

“Guide. Would you like to work at our castle? I’ll guarantee three meals a day and lodging too.”

This was the reason I had brought him to the castle.

If I was powerless and couldn’t use my abilities, I’d at least hire talented people who could help me using information from the original story!

The Guide, who would become a skilled monster trainer in the future, would be a great asset.

“Wh, what?”

Thud.

The Guide’s eyes widened in shock at my words, as if he was stunned.

Meanwhile, Peri, who had barely escaped from his hands, approached me wagging his tail.

I was looking adoringly at Peri with his sparkling black bean-like eyes when the Young Boy, who had been frozen like a stone for quite a while, opened his mouth.

“I, I’m grateful, but… wh, what could I possibly do…?”

“Just train Peri in various ways like you did now. Sit, stand. Jump. Later, things like bite! Don’t bite! too.”

“Lady, what is that…!”

“That’s absolutely impossible. Training monsters!”

At my repeated proposal, Mai and the Guard gaped in shock.

If I weren’t a princess, they looked like they would have asked if I was mentally sound.

However.

“…I, I think I could do that much.”

The Guide’s answer came faster.

As expected of this world’s Kang Hyeong-ok. He nodded obediently, seeming surprised that it was actually too easy.

“By, by the way, I don’t know if I dare say this to Lady…”

Oh. The Crybaby is gradually becoming more proactive.

Feeling pleased for no reason, I nodded vigorously.

“It’s fine. Just say it!”

“If, if it’s not rude to ask, what would the compensation be…?”

Ah.

I forgot. This kid cries easily and gets scared easily, but he always says what needs to be said.
