Chapter 79: Seventy - : Yuezi (3)
"Child, won’t you go out to play?"
As the sun set, just like every year, Clovis’s foster father projected his image into his foster daughter’s room, his smile suggesting that he wanted Clovis to go out and have fun.
Clovis knew her foster father meant well, but... the Bunny Girl, Toby, who had never been invited anywhere naturally did not want to embarrass herself.
She was merely an Orc—a creature with ancestral animal traits—and every day of her life was a gift from the deities.
"Hm, then I’ll go out."
But in the end, just as in previous years, Clovis nodded, donned her long-sleeved leather jacket and long pants that could cover her body hair, and looked at the thick white fur on her neck, pouting—her neck’s fur was a recent few years’ development. She did not know how much longer she could endure, maybe in a few more years, the regression would spread uncontrollably to the top of her head, and then, counting down the days of her life would no longer be just figurative language or self-pity of the healthy.
Pushing open the door of her room in Mage Tower, Clovis turned to glance at her foster father, who waved at her with a smile: "Have fun, and it’s okay if you don’t come home tonight."
"I know."
Dad, where else can I go besides home?
For some reason, Clovis felt terrible. She walked through the corridor, entered the main body of Mage Tower, and stood on the automatic elevator. Watching the Domestic Fairies bustling around, she did not know what the fairies busied themselves with every day, but at least... they seemed to live meaningful lives.
