"This, this, this... this is not good." After spitting out a mouthful of old blood, I stared at Emperor Wu. From her expression and pupils, I saw a serious look, and then I was sure that what I just heard was not Just kidding.
"It doesn't matter, I've made up my mind and I won't go back on it again. Don't worry, I guarantee it in my name, Tamoya."
"No, no, no, although I can indeed feel your determination, I feel... this is not something that one person can decide. It has to be agreed by both parties, right?" I waved my hands repeatedly.
"Could it be that... you are not satisfied with me being your pet?" Master Wu Emperor's dark blue eyes blinked slightly, looking a little hurt.
"It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's not okay! It's impossible for a normal person to treat a girl as a pet or anything like that!!!" I almost flipped the coffee table in anger. Is it because I have lived in seclusion for thousands of years? I always feel like the questions don't add up, as if I were living in two completely different worlds... Although as a time traveler, this is indeed the case.
"Really? In your human world, aren't slaves, maids, and pets very common?" Tamoya looked at me confused.
"This... is indeed very common."
"Isn't there no problem? I took a quick look just now. There are three maids around you, right? Why are you so resistant to pets?"
Three? The pornographic maid...the Sanwu Princess...who else is there? Including Vilas, ten years later, Vilas still likes to dress up as a daily maid as always.
No, no, no, now is not the time to think about this.
"Ahem, why are maids and pets the same?"
"What's the difference?" The bear-man girl Tamoya looked at me with wide, shining eyes, filled with the curiosity of a resident who had lived in seclusion for thousands of years facing new knowledge from the outside world.
"This...this...how do you want me to explain it?"
I scratched my head anxiously. You can't say that a girl is someone else's pet. She will definitely be misunderstood as something like that. I guess Lord Wu didn't move even after explaining it. From the looks of it, she still has some knowledge in that area. Blank.
Also, I, who treat a girl as a pet as a matter of course, will definitely be called a beast elder from now on, and maybe even Willas will look at me with heartbroken eyes like "I didn't expect you to be such a person." With me, it's a lose-lose situation.
Furthermore, if Emperor Wu really has a high status and reputation in the Bear Clan, then I will definitely have to face the Bear Clan’s pursuit in the future. This is not as simple as abducting a little fox and being hated by the men of the Vulcan Clan. If I abduct a little fox, at least It was a willing union of the little fox, and it was a consensual union. No matter how envious and jealous the male fox men were, there was nothing they could do about it.
What if you really treat Tamoya as a pet? I guess the irritable bears will not care whether you are the owner of the paw prints or not. The first thought that arises in my mind is "It must be that Lady Tamoya was threatened by that beastly human with the paw prints to do this." Decision], and then... there is no more. If it is a novel with me as the protagonist, I only need to add the last line.
The main character is dead and the book is over.
I shudder when I think of all the consequences. This is definitely a harmful thing and only a fool would do it.
"Ta...Tamoya, I think we really have to discuss it carefully. I think your decision is not appropriate. The decision to become my pet will have serious consequences for both you and me."
"I've also thought about this." Tamoya looked slightly relieved and seemed to agree with what I said.
"To be honest, I also feel that... it is too shameful to be someone else's pet. Although I am determined to repay a favor, but... but... I am also a normal woman, right?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about it." I said solemnly.
I will not be like that idiot [Beep] Yuan and regard such a slender, beautiful and feminine Lord Martial Emperor as a male. I don’t know what the Lord Martial Emperor of this world thinks, but for the Lord Martial Emperor of that world, this This knowledge is taboo for her, and if she says it out loud, her face will definitely be distorted. I have to be careful not to offend her instincts.
"It seems that you agree that I am a weak woman." Hearing my unhesitating agreement, Emperor Wu gently pressed his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a dazzling, beautiful and happy smile.
"Of course...of course." The corner of my mouth twitched slightly, but I still chose the option of not committing suicide.
So what... was there the word "weak" in the conversation just now?
"Yeah, it's true. Human eyes are different from those of those tribesmen. Although they are more cunning, they are also sharper. Those guys always...ahem..."
It seemed that because of this recognition, the relationship between the two of us was quickly brought closer. Emperor Wu even chatted with me about daily life and complained about me as a friend. Only after talking about it did he realize that something was wrong and coughed a few times. , her pretty face flushed slightly, she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
Oh oh oh, Lord Martial Emperor, so cute!
I clenched my fist with emotion in my heart. The majestic, dignified and calm Emperor Wu, this is such a rare side. I really want to record it with a memory crystal.
"Let's get back to the topic, where were you talking about before?" Master Wu Emperor, who wanted to change the topic, calmed down and moved on to the topic with a word without revealing his expression.
"Well, as a woman, such a decision is really unfair to you. Of course, it's not a good thing for me either. Since it's not good for both parties, there's no need to insist on it, right? "
"But... summoning grizzly bears is an important skill for you, isn't it?" Tamoya said while playing with the tea cup, looking at me with her clear and bright eyes as if they could penetrate into the heart.
"This...it's true. For druids, grizzly bears are powerful assistants."
"Because of my appearance, your important skills have been invalidated, and you are the successor of Master Elufasia and the benefactor of our bear family, so no matter what, I can't just watch you because we bears I’ll suffer losses because of my family, please.” This time, Tamoya bent down directly and bowed deeply to me in supplication.
"..."
Facing a girl who begs to be my pet...what expression should I show?
"Actually...Tamoya, listen to me, now, even if I am really the successor of Lord Elufasia, even if I really inherit this kindness from her that you must repay, but this is also your I think it is too unreasonable and unacceptable to shoulder such a heavy debt of gratitude for the entire Ursine clan on your shoulders."
"There is nothing unreasonable. This is my responsibility." As if she expected that I would say this, Tamoya smiled calmly.
"Actually, I have another identity that I haven't explained to you. It's not to hide it from you, but I just don't want to be seen as showing off. Besides, I also feel..."
For some reason, Tamoya stopped mid-sentence, cut off her words, coughed a few times, and said this to me with an indifferent expression.
"My father is the leader of the bear tribe."
"Clan leader? Can it be said that... you are... you are..." I was dumbfounded and looked at Tamoya in disbelief.
It's not that I'm shocked by her identity, but I feel pained by the ridiculous plot of "The gears of fate are slowly starting to turn, and no one can stop it."
"That's right, as the princess of the Bear Clan, I enjoy this honor and status. At the same time, I must shoulder the honor, disgrace, mission and responsibility of the entire Bear Clan. This must be God's arrangement, and it is the destiny of Master Elufasia. Guidance from the underworld.”
Seeing Tamoya's confident and resolute expression, I was speechless again.
It's over, Emperor Wu has completely fallen into the trap of fate and the conspiracy of Erufasia-chan. I really hope that she will roar that my fate is up to me.
Seeing that I still looked resistant, Tamoya took a deep breath and showed a solemn expression.
"Actually, there is one more thing..."
Just say it all in one breath and I will listen.
"When I left the tribe, the prophet in the tribe said something to me."
Are there any prophets among the Ursine tribe? I thought they were all a group of masters with incredible fighting prowess.
"What did she say?"
"She said to me, Tamoya, I felt it last night. Your journey is not trivial. It may determine the future destiny of our bear family. Go, child, maybe there are all kinds of strange things waiting for you. Things, but try to accept it, this will change you, me, and the entire Ursine clan."
At the end, Tamoya seemed to be imitating the tone of the bear-man prophet, speaking in a low, hoarse, mysterious tone.
"..."
I said... that's actually just a fortune teller on the street who counts five coins a time, probably not as good as the novice Lena, otherwise how could he make such a ridiculous prediction.
"I was confused at first. It wasn't until I just arrived in Harrogas and encountered this kind of thing. When I went back and thought about it carefully, I realized that this must be what the prophet said. It was really unexpected, although I didn't know much about it. I believe in fate, but I trust my gut.”
Your intuition is wrong! How can I have the intuition to let myself be someone else’s pet? Your intuition is on the same level as [I can fight back], [She likes me], and [My phone is ringing], right?
I flipped the coffee table angrily and complained in my heart, but what appeared outside was a wry smile.
Come on, there are internal and external forces, and there is no shortage of reasons. The Emperor Wu in front of him has completely made up his mind.
Moreover, without summoning the grizzly bear, I have indeed suffered a great loss. Although Lord Martial Emperor’s proposal has lost a little, I have to say that from the perspective of an [adventurer], please note that I mean from the perspective of an [adventurer]. The perspective of an [Adventurer], do you know what the perspective of an [Adventurer] is? It refers to purely considering the elements of combat, and it is a battle during [experience], not a battle in [bed], [grass], or [woods].
Why do I have to emphasize it again and again, why do I feel so sad? Do I really have no moral integrity at all? Don’t you even believe in yourself?
Ahem, to put it simply, from the perspective of an [adventurer], I am actually very moved. Although I don’t know the combat power of Emperor Wu, she is a member of the Ursine tribe with extremely strong individual combat power, and she is also a princess. He also learned how to fuse spirit bears, and he knew without even thinking about it that his combat power would definitely be incredible, and he might not be inferior to Carlos and Seattle.
If such a strong man can become my fighting partner, it will definitely be a blessing.
What to do?
I scratched my head and thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed, yes, it's that simple, why didn't I think of it?
"Tamoya, I have an idea, the best of both worlds." I said excitedly.
"But it doesn't matter."
"Actually, we can do this. If you insist that it was the Ursine clan that caused the loss of my skills, and you want to repay this kindness, it is not impossible. I also hope to have a strong and reliable partner by my side, so, If possible, could you please become my fighting partner in the future, but not a pet?"
Yes, in fact, the word "pet" is slightly more shameful in Emperor Wu's repayment. If it can be removed, I can get a stronger and more powerful partner than the grizzly bear, and Ta Mo Ya can also repay the favor, there is no conflict between the two.
"Not a pet, but a fighting partner?" Tamoya tilted her head and thought to herself.
"From my point of view, this is certainly a blessing. As an [ordinary and weak] girl, becoming someone else's pet is too shameful. I have never made such preparations and have no plans to do so. …”
"But." She changed the subject.
"However, just being a combat partner is not enough to repay a favor. It doesn't even seem like repaying a debt of gratitude. The purpose of my coming out this time is to understand the current situation of the Dark Continent. If it is just to form a relationship of combat partners, Doesn’t it mean that I learn more about the situation from you and benefit from it? In this way, it seems that you are showing favor to me. "
"No, no, I can summon you here at any time and help you fight for free. This is already a huge reward."
"But... fighting... I don't hate it, and I don't think it is a big reward." Tamoya hesitated and said, what are you hesitating about? Is there anything surprising about this statement?
The two of us argued over and over again, but in the end we still couldn't come up with a solution.
Seeing the time passing by little by little, I became anxious and hungry. This morning, when I was drinking porridge, Akara called me over. I only drank a few glasses of refreshing water at her place, and now my stomach is upset. Protest.
"How about this." I once again proposed a compromise: "It's up to you, use the way you think you can repay your kindness, but in front of everyone, even when it's just the two of us, we all treat each other as fighting partners. How about this?"
"That's okay..." Probably because she felt that this was the best way for now, Tamoya hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, let's end this discussion here. If you still have any questions, please wait until after lunch." I stood up with a smile and extended an invitation to Tamoya.
I'm really sorry for calling you over while you were having lunch. As an apology, please allow me to solemnly invite you to have lunch with me.
"I'm very happy." From now on, we will be partners who fight together and share life and death. Naturally, Tamoya will not refuse my small invitation. She stood up very politely and elegantly and saluted with a smile.
As if anticipating such a situation, Vilas and the others worked hard to make today's lunch more than twice as rich as usual. As you can imagine, each delicacy took up the corner of the table.
When we came out of the room, all the dishes had been placed and the meal was ready to be served immediately. My stomach growled uncontrollably.
But... there's a subtle accent, what's going on?
I subconsciously turned my head and glanced at Tamoya. Her pretty face turned slightly red and she turned her head away in embarrassment.
"Being hungry... is human nature and an irresistible event, and seeing such a sumptuous lunch..."
"I'm extremely sorry. I miscalculated the time and summoned you here without permission." I suddenly felt frightened and embarrassed, and I really deserved to be punished by God.
However, the embarrassed Emperor Wu... said it very cutely.
"I am Tamoya from the Bear Clan. Just call me Tamoya or Taya. I have interrupted you several times, but I hope I haven't caused any trouble to you." Lord Wu Emperor bowed to the girls politely.
"Well...what if, a distinguished guest has arrived, and we haven't had time to welcome him yet." The little dog Willas, who was standing at the front and received the gift uprightly, panicked and started running around in a hurry.
"Ahem." I coughed several times and walked next to Tamoya.
"Introduction, this is my wife, Vilas."
"I'm sorry." Tamoya showed a look of realization and bowed again apologetically.
"Eh...Eh?" Vilas looked confused and cute. I don't know why the other party was rude. Only I know, probably because Tamoya just regarded Vilas as my maid.
"My wife, Linya."
"Hello."
"My wife, Sarah."
"My sister, Lena."
"My precious daughters, Xilusi, Aikolu, and lìlìsi, ah, by the way, there is one more... I think they are sleeping now. I will introduce them to you later."
"And my personal maids, Morissa and Jeluka."
After staring at Jeluka for a while, Tamoya looked puzzled: "Could it be...that you are an elf?"
