Chapter 454 - 20. Unknown Demi-human
"What... What?! You guys... Boss, boss! You can’t do this!"
By the next morning, seeing everyone around her with strange expressions, Philis couldn’t help but ask them what they were hiding from her, and then she learned from Heidlin’s lips that Valentina had decided to send her to the Nali people for research.
Thinking back to how Fisher had just fiercely punched her, she felt a chill; she saw Fisher as an exceptionally violent human man, and going there wouldn’t possibly be as simple as just "doing research," even if she thought about it with her toes.
Initially pretending to continue sleeping and not wanting to get up, Philis was called early by Valentina, which scared her into curling her lion tail around herself and tucking her head into her chest. She hid under the bedding, violently shaking her head, refusing to come out of her sleeping tent at any cost.
"Please, boss, you mustn’t take me to that human there; he’s definitely going to beat me up!"
Outside the tent, Valentina, seated in her wheelchair, sighed helplessly and said to Philis, who was inside and refused to get up,
"I’ll go with you, and I will supervise everything he does the whole time. He also promised not to do anything strange... it’s probably just research, after all, that’s the persona he’s created for himself."
"Persona?"
"Yes, a scholar interested in demi-humans."
"...Isn’t that even more terrifying?"
From Philis’s fluffy golden hair, her ears trembled in fear like pancakes. Humans interested in demi-humans were rarer than money falling from the sky, right?
