Chapter 345
Honestly, the spot I was sitting in really was warm and comfortable.
As expected of an academy attended by the children of high-ranking nobles, the building had been designed so that the windows faced the direction of the rising sun, letting in plenty of warm sunlight from morning until noon.
There was even a flower bed in front of the window.
...Which I completely wrecked by sitting on it.
Being a griffon with a sturdy body wasn't all that great in moments like this. There had been a strong iron fence marking the flower bed, but I hadn’t even noticed as I sat down on it. I just thought, “Wow, the ground is kinda soft, nice.”
Sylvia, who had come running out the moment she saw me through the window after being told by one of her classmates, looked between me and the crushed flower bed and then glared with wide, furious eyes.
“Are you a cat or something?”
If anything, I’d say I’m closer to a bird of prey.
Sure, the lower half of my body was a lion’s, but if you measured by surface area, the upper body—including the wings—was way more eagle-like. My head was also an eagle’s, and since my brain was in that head, I figured I was more a bird of prey.
Even though the thing inside was a human.
I knew full well what the situation was, so I didn’t say anything. I was well aware that taking care of real flowers took both money and time. Especially a well-maintained flower bed like this—it probably required a skilled expert.
No—wait.
