#84

It was a situation where I couldn’t help but doubt my own eyes.

Black eyes, patches of missing fur here and there. Two distinct cowlicks on the bridge of his nose.

That child is obviously our Lulu!

“Uh… Lu, Lulu. How are you here…?”

As I pointed at Lulu with my finger and cried out with a clearly flustered expression, Lulu soon waddled over with his characteristic gait.

Lulu looked at my unfamiliar face and tilted his head for a moment, then clung to me and sniffed around.

“Huh? It smells like Sister Haneul! Sister!”

“Lu… Lulu, how can you talk…!”

“…?”

Looking at the Panda Man’s puzzled face, it seemed that once again, I was the only one who could understand Lulu’s words.

Is this also because I’m a Demon Tamer?

No, more than that, this is inside a game, so how can Lulu from reality be here?

“Sister Haneul! I missed you so much!”

My head was completely jumbled trying to figure out how Lulu could possibly be here.

But more than that, overwhelming emotions took precedence.

Because Lulu, whom I had missed so dearly, was standing right before my eyes.

“Lulu… I, I missed you too. *sob*…”

“Uh oh… Sister Haneul is crying again?”

Lulu plopped down beside me as I was crying.

Then he pulled my hands with his cute little paws.

“Here, Sister! I’ll specially allow you to touch my belly! Sister likes touching Lulu’s belly, right?”

Looking at Lulu with eyes that said he wasn’t really keen on it but had no choice, I recalled a memory from the past.

That day was the anniversary of my family’s death.

“Haneul, you seem especially energetic today? Did something good happen?”

“Ahaha, something good? I’m just happy that Lulu is eating his bamboo shoots well.”

To make matters worse, I had a vivid dream about the day of the accident, so my condition hit rock bottom.

But I smiled brightly, pretending nothing was wrong.

I couldn’t bear to let others see my misfortune.

I was even volunteering for overtime work to shake off the memories of that day deeply embedded in my mind.

Ding!

A cheerful messenger notification sound echoed through the quiet inner office where I was alone.

[Ta-da, I’m on a filial piety tour… Came on a family trip but I’m dying to go home lol]

[Hey. Haneul is here.]

[Oh. Sorry, Haneul…]

The emotions I had been suppressing all day burst out in an instant.

“*sob*…”

Perhaps it was because my crying echoed through the silence.

Lulu immediately reacted to that sound.

“Wueng! Wueng!”

As Lulu started whining and fussing, I hurriedly entered the inner room where Lulu was.

“Lu, Lulu, what’s wrong?”

“Wueng!”

Lulu was sitting with his back against the bars, making crying sounds.

This meant, ‘Scratch my back!’

“Geez… Lulu, did you call me just to scratch your back?”

Someone was crying their eyes out just moments ago, and now you want your back scratched…

It was truly absurd, but thanks to that, my tears stopped.

I scratched the back of Lulu, who was protesting by hitting the floor.

Satisfied, Lulu made happy sounds.

“Wuueng… Wueng. Wueng! Wuueng.”

“Lulu, what are you saying right now? I’m curious…”

Lulu was particularly chatty that day.

Looking at Lulu who had grown so big before I knew it, I touched his belly that had grown along with him.

As his soft and plump belly filled my hands, I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

“Pfft. Lulu, you’ve gained a lot of weight? Look at this, what’s with this belly~”

“Wuueng!”

From that day on, whenever I seemed even slightly down, Lulu would stick out his belly like now.

Of course, with a very displeased expression.

Remembering that time when he comforted me, I smiled and asked while touching Lulu’s belly.

“…Lulu, have you been well? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yeah! But Sister… Lulu is hungry.”

Lulu looked at the bamboo in Panda Forest with longing eyes.

I took Lulu with me and carefully approached the Panda Man to ask.

“Excuse me… Sir, I’m sorry, but could we possibly get some bamboo?”

“Of course. Come this way. There’s bamboo everywhere here.”

* * *

“I’m sorry.”

“…It’s okay. I already knew that you had no feelings for me.”

Leon was feeling something called guilt for the first time in his life.

It was because his former fiancée Rosalin accepted his apology with such a calm face.

It might have been easier on his conscience if she had gotten violently angry and cursed at him like others would, or even slapped him once.

But she just silently stared at Leon.

“…The engagement ceremony preparations and other costs must have been considerable, so we’ll provide adequate compensation for that.”

“No, that’s not necessary. I never once wanted compensation for my feelings.”

Rosalin, the noble daughter of the Luadel Marquis Family and a cheetah beastman, was from a family that boasted the oldest traditions and prestige in Avalon.

Thanks to this background, Rosalin had frequently interacted with the royal family since childhood, building friendships.

Her friendship with the notoriously headstrong Third Princess Ibrys was also due to this.

Like a true noble from a prestigious family, she was always dignified and graceful.

Even when Leon played mean pranks on her or was rude to her since childhood, she always quietly accepted it with a gentle smile.

But there was one time when Rosalin showed her emotions.

It was when their engagement was being seriously discussed.

Leon was someone who naturally pursued freedom.

Therefore, being tied down to someone was worse than death to him.

He had no intention of accepting an engagement formed under the pretext of political alliance from the start.

So he went to Rosalin and told her.

There was no need to force the engagement to continue, so she should be with someone she loved.

However, she, who he expected would agree as she always had, gave an unexpected answer.

“Am I… insufficient as Your Highness’s companion?”

After that day, Rosalin began to change.

Outwardly she seemed the same as before, but behind her gentle smile, obsession and possessiveness toward him had seeped in.

It was from then that dealing with her became uncomfortable.

Even now, Rosalin faced Leon with a nonchalant expression.

But in her gaze was something more than simple affection.

Leon sighed as he looked at her obsessive eyes.

Right now, having left Master alone in the village, he didn’t have time to waste on such matters…

Nevertheless, he couldn’t ignore Master’s request to properly apologize, so Leon obediently bowed his head.

“Ugh, this stupid tiger. Rosalin is too kind for her own good. She should just slap him once.”

“Haha… I’m fine, Airi. More importantly, shouldn’t we be going now?”

“Yeah. Oh, right! My brother brought the benefactor who saved the beastmen, you know? Since the King is also at the Royal Palace, we’re going to bring them to Avalon Kingdom.”

“Really? That’s great. What kind of person is she?”

“Um… how should I put it… She’s so pretty. And she’s kind too. She even smells nice!”

Rosalin’s face gradually hardened as she watched Ibrys smile brightly while describing Zoe.

That woman was someone who came with her fiancé, Prince Leonhart. And the benefactor of the beastmen.

An ominous premonition of some kind began to settle deep in Rosalin’s heart.

Rosalin quickly composed her disheveled expression and carefully opened her lips toward Leon.

“Um, Prince, do you think of that woman as…?”

“Princess, this is terrible! A dungeon break has occurred in the territory!”

That was when it happened.

One of Ibrys’s escort knights rushed over urgently and delivered emergency news.

The severity of the situation could be felt completely from his breathless steps.

“Whaaaat?! Where?”

“Well… they say it’s near Siollan Village!”

Siollan Village was where the Panda Forest was located.

Upon hearing this, Leon’s complexion darkened rapidly.

“Damn it, that’s where Master is!”

As soon as he uttered those words, his body began transforming into a massive tiger.

His muscles tensed tightly, and the moment his claws dug into the ground, an intense wind whirled around.

Soon after, Leon, who had transformed into a giant Golden Tiger, crossed through the forest leading to Siollan Village in one breath.
