Chapter 457: You don’t need to know someone to be happy for their happiness
[Nightmare, that’s a bad word!] A turquoise wing with colorful tips smacked the Demon Lord’s neck. [Papa say Jade can’t say that word!]
Oh, good job! Papa raised you well, Jade!
"I’m sorry," Natha replied without missing a bit, taking my hands to his lips. "But how can you keep getting prettier each day, sweetheart?"
"Don’t exaggerate!"
"I’m not," Natha kissed my hand again, and embarrassingly, I could hear the sounds of agreement from behind.
Ignoring the voices so I wouldn’t turn into a boiled shrimp, I shifted my gaze toward Jade, who was perching on Natha’s shoulder. My familiar was no longer the cute, plump bird we used to, but the elegant elemental bird. Well...it was still a lot smaller compared to adult elemental birds, though.
"You’re taking this form?" I reached out my arm so Jade could hop on it.
[Nightmare say Jade need to show off!] The bird--not so little now, so sad--said cheerfully. It was rather weird hearing Jade’s innocent child-like voice in the body of a bird as big as a falcon. [Also, also, Jade’s necklace will look clearer!]
"I see...showing off, huh?" I laughed and stroked the green head, that immediately nuzzled my palm while giggling. Well, Jade was still Jade no matter what shape.
"Looking good, right?" Natha chuckled and kissed my temple this time. "Since your outfit this time also uses plain color."
Right; Druids always used soft colors, and the fabric they gave me was in soft green color, like a sprout--like Valmeier’s name. With the robe and the crown, not to mention the elemental bird on my arm, I truly looked like someone whisked from the realm of nature.
