Chapter 226
“Welcome!!”
Paang―!
Flower petals burst into the air, greeting Gio.
“We’ve cleaned the burrow so that our honored guest may rest comfortably!”
“Was the journey tiring? We’ve prepared foxes to fan you!”
“If you desire anything at all, please don’t hesitate to tell us!”
Chieftain Laami, still disguised as a human, watched her kin welcome their “guest,” sneaking glances at Gio’s reaction. She smiled with her usual slanted expression, rubbing her hands together.
“To ensure you may look around freely, we’ve already spruced up our burrow. You may explore as much as you like. We may not be able to offer a meal, but this much humble service we give with glad hearts.”
“Oh, I see.”
Gio looked around.
“This is quite a different atmosphere from the wolf tribe.”
“Hehe, the wolves have no interest in decorating their dens. They’re strong, both physically and mentally, so even a bare cave is enough for them. But we foxes are terribly delicate.”
