#69

 

Oh no, he seems upset…

 

Leon’s dejected back looked utterly pitiful.

 

I went in front of Leon and crouched down on my knees.

 

“L-Leon… I’m sorry. Okay? I was wrong.”

 

“…Master, are you really sorry to me?”

 

“Of course! I was bad, so please stop being angry, okay?”

 

As I repeatedly coaxed him while stroking his honey-like golden hair, Leon finally lifted his head slightly.

 

“Then… grant me just one wish.”

 

“Wh-what is it? I’ll listen first.”

 

“Promise you’ll definitely grant it.”

 

What kind of wish is he trying to make…?

 

He’s not going to ask for some kind of damage compensation, is he…?

 

When I just rolled my eyes without giving a definitive answer, the corners of Leon’s eyes drooped downward.

 

That appearance looked utterly pitiful, like an animal abandoned by its owner.

 

Ugh, he usually just plays around, so why is he sitting there looking so pitiful…!

 

Guilt washed over me at his expression, and I eventually reluctantly opened my lips.

 

“F-fine, I got it.”

 

Then Leon’s eyes instantly gleamed brightly.

 

“Master, no taking back what you said.”

 

It was a smile that contained some kind of scheme.

 

I looked at Leon, who was extending his hand to me with raised corners of his mouth, and thought.

 

Hah… it seems like I’ve gotten completely caught up in this perverted tiger’s pace…?

“Lamb skewers available! Just two copper coins!”

 

“Master, buy me that.”

 

“…You’re eating again?”

 

“Yeah! I don’t really enjoy lamb much, so just 30.”

 

…That seems like plenty of enjoying to me.

 

I looked at Leon, who was cheerfully grabbing lamb skewers in bunches from the stall, and pulled out my wallet.

 

“H-here…”

 

“Oh my, thank you!”

 

The merchant selling lamb skewers received the coins with thanks and began organizing his stall.

 

Seeing his mouth stretched to his ears at the thought of leaving work early, we seemed to be his last customers of the day.

 

“Hmm, this one’s a bit salty. Seems undercooked too.”

 

Despite complaining that it didn’t suit his taste, Leon’s mouth showed no signs of stopping.

 

Hah… He ate 50 meat skewers just a moment ago, and that’s still going in?

 

“Leon… you’re going to become a pig tiger at this rate.”

 

“Hmm, I have a constitution that doesn’t gain weight. I wish I could put on some weight.”

 

“…”

 

You, that’s fraud, you bastard.

 

I wanted to immediately shut that mouth spouting such nonsense, but I held back.

 

“If you wanted to see the festival, you should have said so earlier.”

 

Contrary to my expectation that he would make an unreasonable demand, Leon said he wanted to see the festival.

 

But you know… wasn’t it more that you were hungry rather than wanting to see the festival?

 

“Hmm… rather than wanting to see the festival, I wanted to go on a date with Master. Come on, your hand again.”

 

Leon extended his hand to me with a smile covering his face.

 

Since Leon’s exact request was ‘go festival watching (while holding hands)!’, I took his extended hand without complaint.

 

“…But Leon, how long are you going to call me Master? People will misunderstand if they hear.”

 

“Well, Master is Master, right? Or how about ‘honey’? ‘Darling’ is good too. If you don’t like that either, how about ‘my little guardian angel’?”

 

“Just call me Master. If you don’t call me Master, you’ll get a knuckle sandwich.”

 

“Yes yes, Master.”

 

Leon nodded and smiled brightly.

 

Unlike his perverted behavior, it was a clear and clean smile.

 

Anyway, you can’t spit on a smiling face.

 

At that smile that made the viewer feel good, I stopped nagging and chuckled along with him.

 

Tall with a sturdy body. Cat-like slanted eyes.

 

Despite his appearance that could look fierce, Leon had a childlike innocent side.

 

Well, of course he’s a child to me though…

 

If I had to compare, Ruan was a year younger than Leon, yet their atmospheres were completely different.

 

Unlike Ruan who was mature for his age, Leon was more like a cute younger boyfriend type?

 

Well… if there’s something they have in common, it’s that they’re both handsome?

 

This is totally the innocent type versus beast type that splits according to preference…

 

Which side am I on, you ask?

 

Obviously… men should be innocent.

 

“By the way… Leon, why did you hide earlier? Weren’t you acquainted with Winnie and Bini?”

 

“Well, I do know them. I played with them a lot when they were young.”

 

“Then you must know their parents too. But why…”

 

I stared intently at Leon as if I couldn’t understand.

 

Could it be that he doesn’t get along with the rabbit sisters’ parents?

 

No, even if that were the case, there’s no need to hide.

 

When I demanded an answer from Leon while full of questions, he reluctantly replied.

 

“…It seemed like it would be a bit troublesome if we ran into each other now?”

 

“Why? No, more than that, you said you came from the Beastman Kingdom too. Shouldn’t you return together with the Rabbit Family?”

 

His body had fully recovered thanks to the Holy Grail of Life’s effect, and the Chevalier Order would safely escort them to the border leading to the Beastman Kingdom, so there was no more risk of being captured.

 

So, couldn’t Leon just return together with the Rabbit Family?

 

I looked at Leon, who was staring intently at me without any response, and continued speaking.

 

“You’ve enjoyed the festival you wanted to see, and your body has recovered, so you should also return to the Beastman Kingdom together with the Rabbit Family. The Chevalier Order will escort you safely.”

 

Then Leon suddenly shouted loudly in the middle of the market.

 

“Master… are you abandoning me now?”

 

What, what is he saying right now!

 

“Oh my oh my, looks like a lovers’ quarrel… ‘Master’, is that a pet name?”

 

“That pretty young lady seems to be dumping that blonde man…?”

 

“My goodness… she’s really living up to her looks.”

 

Leon’s grand statement instantly transformed the genre into a makjang drama.

 

I covered my face with my hands while listening to people’s murmuring.

 

“What are you saying right now! Why would I abandon you… no, I never even had you in the first place!”

 

“Wasn’t my body to Master’s taste? After touching me all night like that…”

 

Aaaaah!

 

The situation escalated to even worse.

 

“Oh my, that master lady touched her boyfriend all night and then dumped him!”

 

“Heh heh… young people these days.”

 

“It’s not like that… Damn it, Leon. Follow me!”

 

To escape from the snowballing swamp of misunderstandings, I grabbed Leon’s wrist and ran through the crowd.

 

Having arrived at a deserted place, I finally stopped walking.

 

This tiger bastard, what am I supposed to do about my image now…!

 

I glared fiercely at Leon, who had instantly turned me into a shameless person in front of many people, and snapped.

 

“Leon…! Why are you really acting like this!”

 

“What do you mean? Master, you told me to live together.”

 

Leon tilted his head with a nonchalant face and asked me.

 

I was so flabbergasted by his shameless attitude that I could barely breathe.

 

“N-no, when did I ever say such a thing!”

 

“When you rescued me, Master said exactly that. Don’t you remember?”

 

When on earth did I ever say something like that…

 

Just as I was left speechless by his brazen attitude, a scene flashed through my mind.

 

“N-no way…”

 

As I stammered at the suddenly surfaced memory, Leon caught that moment like a ghost and curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“I answered properly back then. A marriage proposal right after meeting – how romantic.”

 

“No! That was because I thought you were Geumdeori and meant I’d raise you like a pet…!”

 

“I am Master’s Geumdeori too. So if you abandon me, that’s animal abandonment.”

 

Leon cut off my words like slicing radish and triumphantly took my hand, interlacing our fingers.

 

From his brilliantly shining golden eyes, I felt a silent warning not to even think about running away from him.

 

Sigh… Please, someone adopt this shameless tiger!

“Sona, can you perform today?”

 

“Of course. I can do it.”

 

“You’re not feeling well, so you could rest for the last performance.”

 

“Don’t worry about it. Come on, Troupe Leader, go finish preparing for the performance.”

 

The ‘Moonlight Carnival,’ which traveled from place to place performing circus shows, had successfully performed in Bellnoir for the Westwind Festival.

 

And today was the day of their final performance in Bellnoir.

 

Sona lightly pushed the Troupe Leader’s back out of the waiting room, dismissing his suggestion to skip the performance due to concern about her condition as unnecessary worry.

 

“Alright, alright. How could I break your stubbornness? But if you’re not feeling well, tell me right away.”

 

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

 

As soon as she forcibly sent out the Troupe Leader who worried about her until the end, Sona collapsed right there on the spot.

 

“Ugh, haah…”
