Chapter 625: Maybe I am a protagonist too?
"Shiny say okay!" Jade nodded with a wide grin across his lips, excited for a new adventure. Apparently, he was disappointed because we didn’t involve him during the mercenaries’ attack.
"Is that place far from here?"
"Hmm...the mole said yes," Ignis interpreted. "But it’s far by a mole’s standard, so who knows the real distance."
I looked ahead in contemplation, but then remembered that I wasn’t on this journey alone. "Oh, right--we need to discuss it with the others first," I clasped my hands and stood up. "Let’s bring the mole along--"
"Shiny!" Jade shook the mole and stared at me like a child in a pet shop for their first puppy.
It was rather weird to call a creature with dark gray fur ’shiny’, but...whatever the kid wished, I guess. "Alright, let’s bring Shiny along. You hold on to it, okay?"
"Okay!"
Choco, who had been pacing back and forth in confusion, neighed in relief when we finally returned. Ignis grunted once more as we galloped through the land and looked for the carriage.
It didn’t take long to find a carriage in a vast plain, especially with Jade’s eyes. We found them soon and Choco galloped faster, positioning himself parallel to the carriage’s horses.
"Jin!" I opened my mouth before they could greet me. "Let’s find a place to graze! There’s something I need to talk about!"
The Hero raised his brow, and then raised it even higher when his sharp eyes caught the shaking grey fur on Jade’s chest. Seemed like Shiny also disliked going fast.
