Chapter 316
"Lady, we have finished moving the goods."
"Haaah... You guys are fast, can’t even talk much with the kid... Aight. Wait here. I have something else for you." — Standing with difficulty, he went back inside... walking like a round penguin.
’... I must be really tired and out of it... I even think his way to walk is cute now.’ — Narrowing my eyes really curious about what might be wrong with me this time, I thought. Fearing for my good taste.
"... Sigh... It’s not much but... I made this little thing for you, kid." — Fiddling with something in his hand, he appeared again.
And I stood to receive it as we also had to leave.
"It’s a little thing you made me want to make when you first came with the youngster... Since you’re Fenrir’s protegee I thought it would be nice to have something resembling that crazed wolf around. It’s mere decoration... But this is the kind of wandering god protecting you, kiddo. Although a million times larger than this." — Handing me a delicately craved craft of a beautiful dark stone, the old man told me, frowning at it as I carefully admired it.
"... He’s a wicked one. I would tell you to be careful but I think since it protects you it’s everyone else who should tread carefully around you."
’Haha... Maybe. I want to think that too... Thank you, old man.’
"... Hmph... So your face’s not much of a statue anymore, huh? F**king hell awaits your Father with those noble youngsters you’ll meet... Get going, kiddo. Come back next time with more time. I want to know more of those clever ideas you have."
