【Chapter 94】

 

At that moment.

 

‘Wh, wh, what should I do… I, I wanted to tell Lady Aisha… the, the timing…’

 

Somehow, the guide who had gone to the ice cave with the Croste family members was trembling.

 

At first, when they suggested going to see Aisha together, he felt a slight hope.

 

Because he thought he could secretly whisper to her alone that he seemed to have lost Bibi.

 

But contrary to his expectations, Callipus and Lucas never let the princess out of their sight, and the extraordinary creature that suddenly transformed into a cat also clung to her arms, meowing.

 

Conclusion. The guide had to search for Bibi alone.

 

The problem was.

 

“Hey. Do you want to come eat cake with us too?”

 

“The cake is delicious. It’s just that when I take one bite, Lucas takes three bites.”

 

“Kail, you stay out of this! Who said they wanted to eat with you?”

 

Lucas and the cat-human were now not letting him go either.

 

“Uh, um, umm…”

 

“Why? Don’t you want to? The cake is really delicious.”

 

When the frightened guide stammered, Lucas put his arm around his shoulder.

 

From Lucas’s perspective, it was a signal of friendliness to not feel awkward, but.

 

‘Sc, scary!’

 

The arm of the Croste young master, higher than the sky, felt as heavy as lead to him.

 

‘What happens if I refuse and say I don’t want to? Will I go to prison like this?’

 

The guide’s body trembled.

 

He couldn’t refuse the young master in the first place, but if he kept stalling for time, Bibi would be discovered by someone in the meantime.

 

Of course, the people of the ducal palace vaguely knew of Bibi’s existence.

 

But how many people here could accept that Bibi pounced on faces as a greeting?

 

‘What if Bibi pounces on someone again?’

 

If he pounces, Bibi and I will be… to the edge of the world…

 

“No!”

 

At the sudden shrill scream, Lucas and Kail stopped walking.

 

“…What, what?”

 

The flustered Lucas carefully loosened his arm. Soon he opened his eyes wide seeing the guide shedding tears.

 

“Lucas made him cry. Lucas, go find your character quickly.”

 

“Won’t you shut up!”

 

As Lucas’s face turned red at Kail’s mockery—

 

‘I, I made Young Master Lucas…’

 

At the thought of having upset the great and noble aristocrat, the guide finally lost strength in his trembling legs.

 

And—

 

“Waaah!”

 

Soon he burst into tears like a fountain.

 

I miss the butcher shop uncle. I miss Bibi!

 

“Waaahhh!”

 

“You, you, why are you crying? Are you really crying because I’m scary?”

 

“Lucas gets 5 penalty points.”

 

“Kail, please just shut up!”

 

“I, I’m going to prison now! No, I’ll be abandoned at the edge of the world!”

 

This poor boy, unlike Aisha, only had one life. For him, who was only 5 years old, facing an angry Lucas was the greatest trial of his life.

 

In the end, the guide confessed everything.

 

“I, I lost Bibi! There’s a monster wandering around the ducal palace!”

 

At the sudden confession, Lucas and Kail looked at each other in surprise.

 

‘He lost a monster?’

 

‘That kid gets 100 penalty points.’

 

Of the two boys who exchanged conversation through their eyes, Lucas was the first to assess the situation.

 

“Hey. Don’t cry, what did you lose? You lost a monster?”

 

“Sniff, Bi, Bibi needs a lot of activity… so, so he needed a walk…”

 

“You walked a monster…?”

 

Lucas scratched the back of his neck with a dubious expression.

 

He already knew that a trainable monster had come to the ducal palace, and that the boy called the guide he’d just met was the rumored child.

 

But they even let him take walks.

 

Apart from being curious, there was something more important.

 

They had to find the monster quickly before problems arose.

 

“What does he look like?”

 

Fortunately, if Lucas had an advantage, it was that like a true Croste heir, he became calm quickly in serious situations.

 

At the unexpectedly calm question that didn’t seem angry, the guide finally wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

 

“Wh, wh, white and long. He, he has soft fur too…”

 

White and long. With soft fur.

 

“Hmm.”

 

Lucas, who had been lost in thought, muttered.

 

“What is that.”

 

Even the great heir of the Croste family couldn’t imagine the monster’s appearance from such a description alone.

 

But Lucas had a secret weapon.

 

“Do you have something that monster used? Something that might have his scent on it.”

 

“An, an object?”

 

The guide, who stammered back, went “Hmm!” and sniffled while searching his pocket.

 

“Ah. So, something like this?”

 

The hesitating guide held out something.

 

“What’s this?”

 

“My so, sock.”

 

To be precise, it was a sock with a hole in the toe area.

 

The guide blinked his wet eyes and explained.

 

“Bi, Bibi likes to chew on this, so he played with it often. But it’s a little da, damp because of Bibi’s saliva…”

 

“Oh.”

 

Poke.

 

Lucas, who let out a soulless exclamation at his explanation, stuck his finger into his nostril without hesitation.

 

And then.

 

“Just give that to him.”

 

“Yes, yes?”

 

“That guy. He’s good at smelling. He’ll smell that sock and find the monster.”

 

“…Me?”

 

Kail, who had been standing there blankly with a face that knew nothing, opened his rabbit eyes wide.

 

* * *

 

At that moment.

 

“…”

 

I was engaged in a quiet battle with the soft belly that had covered my face.

 

Feeling the texture of the belly, I knew.

 

This guy was Bibi. Why was he here?

 

Had I stood there like a stone for about a minute in confusion? Finally, my dark vision lifted like a curtain, and someone peeked down from above.

 

Eyes like black beans. A shy, S-shaped mouth and a cute little pink nose.

 

“Kyuut…”

 

It was definitely Bibi.

 

The problem was that his previously white face had turned blue and his body was trembling.

 

“Bibi, how did you get in here?!”

 

“Kyuyak.”

 

When I carefully lowered Bibi from my head, the pitiful cotton ball drooped his head like wet laundry.

 

Bibi looked cold to anyone who saw him. I felt like I needed to warm up this cotton ball first.

 

“Bibi. Come here.”

 

I fumbled to untie my scarf and wrapped Bibi’s long, trembling body around my neck.

 

Then I tied the scarf knot tightly over him.

 

This way Bibi could feel both my body heat and the warmth of the scarf, right? This was double insulation!

 

“This is the main castle and the guide lives in the annex hall. How did you get all the way here?”

 

Did he follow along when the guide was escorting me? I didn’t sense any presence like that though?

 

At my muttering, Bibi poked his face out from the scarf.

 

“Kyui kyui.”

 

And he answered me earnestly.

 

Of course, I had no way to interpret it.

 

“…What does that mean?”

 

“Kyuuu!”

 

When I asked again, Bibi raised his voice as if frustrated instead.

 

But still, we couldn’t have a conversation.

 

“Right, thanks. That was good communication.”

 

Anyway, praise for Bibi who tried his best.

 

I settled into a corner spot while keeping the frustrated Bibi wrapped around my neck.

 

“Anyway, Father said he comes once every hour, so let’s wait until then.”

 

I had been very cold just moments ago, but with a living creature’s warm heat wrapping around my body, it seemed a little better.

 

But Bibi didn’t give up on conversing with me.

 

“Kyuu. Kyuut.”

 

As I huddled in the corner blankly staring at the ceiling, the kyukyu cries of the Peri echoed through the Ice Cave.

 

“Bibi. Sorry, but I can’t understand any of it.”

 

In the end, I had no choice but to confess honestly.

 

“Kyu!”

 

“Geez. I don’t know what you’re saying… It’s noisy now so stop it.”

 

I was getting tired of even responding now.

 

“Kyuu…”

 

Bibi showed a dejected expression, but I kept my mouth firmly shut.

 

‘If I ignore him, Bibi will just stay quiet too, right?’

 

Anyway, if I waited just one hour, Father would come. Then I could ask him to hand Bibi over to the guide.

 

Kyuu, kyuu.

 

With that thought, I deliberately ignored the pitiful cries. And I picked at my ear with my finger and blew on it, when—

 

“Hey you brat! If you can’t understand what I’m saying, you should at least pretend to interpret! If this grandma dies of hunger, will you take responsibility?!”

 

“Ahhh!”

 

An elderly voice that suddenly appeared tore through my eardrums.

 

“Wh-who. Who is it!”

 

I sprang up like a coil and quickly looked around.

 

Naturally, there wasn’t a single person around, let alone an elderly person. This was the Ice Cave after all.

 

‘But why was there a human voice…’

 

Gasp.

 

Suddenly, chills ran down my spine.

 

‘Don’t tell me. Are there ghosts in this world too?’

 

Well, of course there would be. It’s a world with monsters and magic. It would be stranger if there were no ghosts.

 

“…”

 

This was an emergency.

 

Scurry.

 

I quickly pressed my back against the wall and grabbed Bibi who was hiding in the scarf. If something jumped out, I’d have to tell Bibi to greet it.

 

“Gh-ghost. Please go away.”

 

But the grandma ghost didn’t answer.

 

“If-if you’re hungry, I do have some bread… Could you eat that and leave the cave?”

 

“Give it here quickly, then.”

 

That’s when it happened. At the elderly voice I heard again, my body stiffened with a rustle and my mouth fell open.

 

Pop.

 

Suddenly, a small and cute pink palm extended into my field of vision.

 

“Give it to this grandma. Quickly!”

 

Bibi was politely asking me in a dignified voice.
