[Episode 30]
It was only then that I remembered the High Priest of the Future.
“…what?”
Richard hugged me from behind and glared at the high priest of the future.
The high priest of the future slowly took off his robe.
Then, the hidden white gray hair flowed down, and the deep blue eyes shone vividly.
‘Two beautiful boys…’
I was a little lost in the feeling of losing my mind.
“That one…?”
“me? BamBam is the owner. What are you?”
Well, that’s not wrong.
“Master’s…”
The high priest of the future glanced at me.
“puppy? It’s the same thing.”
The eyes of the high priest of the future folded like a crescent moon.
‘puppy?’
Since when did that happen?
When I looked at him with a puzzled expression, he opened his mouth wide with a sorry expression.
“Woof woof.”
No, when did I tell you to imitate a puppy?
As I opened my mouth, Richard hugged me a little tighter.
“I have no intention of becoming your master.”
“I have no intention of becoming your dog either.”
“Because I am the owner of BamBam, everything that belongs to BamBam is mine. But I hate you, so leave.”
“I don’t like it.”
He leisurely set aside his robe and strode into the room.
Is that kid really 9 years old?
“It doesn’t seem too difficult for the three of you to get along, Master. I can sleep on the floor next to my master’s bed.”
he said, pointing under the bed.
It was carpeted, but obviously uncomfortable.
‘The bed is big enough for three kids, but…’
I turned my head.
“Get out now! This is the room the director gave us!”
“Then let’s take the master along too.”
“Why BamBam!”
“Master and I can’t be apart… can’t we? master.”
I let out a deep sigh as I looked at the future high priest smiling brightly.
‘I don’t know what the plan is.’
They were about the same age, but Richard was a little more honest with his emotions.
“Please let me stay by your side.”
He grabbed my hand with an expression like an abandoned puppy.
‘You guys know I’m five years old, right?’
I’m much shorter than them, but what are you doing holding me on both sides?
“I…”
A rumbling-
roaring belly was heard.
“…hungry.”
As soon as I heard the sound, I was drained of energy from hunger.
As I stumbled and collapsed on the bed, Richard opened his eyes wide in embarrassment.
“BamBam!”
“I’m hungry…”
“I can’t die! I’ll ask for food right away!”
“huh.”
No, no matter how much I don’t eat, I won’t die.
As Richard was about to leave the room, he pointed his finger at the high priest of the future standing next to me.
“You stay there and stay still. If you touch my BamBam, I won’t let you go!”
Richard rushed out of the room.
“I’ll take off your robe.”
The high priest of the future lightly ignored Richard’s words and took off his robe himself.
I deliberately left him alone.
According to the novel, the high priest of the future was surprisingly…
“….”
Because he had a great mysticism.
Sure enough, the child who was taking off my robe suddenly stopped moving.
In the novel, he hates humans, but hates beastmen.
The temple was a place where the idea of ‘human supremacy’ was instilled, so it was only natural that the high priest of the future who grew up there would have such thoughts.
‘If they saw the tail, they would leave on their own.’
It was for this reason that he closed his eyes to his steadfast pursuit.
It was clear that I was going to get tired of myself and leave anyway.
“…master.”
“huh.”
“Were you a prisoner?”
“huh.”
“…”
I glanced at him. He stared blankly at the tail exposed under my clothes.
“Where to go.”
“yes?”
“I’m disgusted because I’m a lizard, so let’s go.”
“…no.”
He opened his mouth after a while.
“It’s not gross, Master.”
He knelt down and looked at me as I lay face down on the bed.
“I was just a little surprised because it was my first time seeing Suin.”
‘lie.’
It’s not like he doesn’t know how to treat prisoners in the temple.
I slowly closed my eyes.
“master.”
“I am not your master.”
“He reached out to me for the first time. I was there for three days.”
Anyone could see that he was dressed suspiciously, but it must have been difficult to approach him easily.
‘Still, three days…’
There is no foolish mate.
“why?”
“yes?”
“Why did you write there?”
“I made a bet with some monster. If someone picks me up within three days, it was my win. Today was the third day and the owner picked me up.”
No, that’s exactly what you were after.
“So, you are the master.”
There was no logic in what he said with a big smile, and I was speechless.
But what was the name of this high priest of the future?
“What’s your name?”
“…Lucilion. I am Lucillion.”
“Lucillion.”
I wanted to ask who the hell did you make a bet with?
‘Did something like this exist in the novel?’
I closed my eyes and rolled my head, but nothing came to mind.
A loud rumble
echoed from the ship again. He crouched down in embarrassment and clutched his stomach.
‘…I think I’ve been hungry too often lately?’
It’s a strange thing.
It seemed like the amount of food had increased a little since the day she shed, and it seemed like she was getting hungry right away.
“I’m hungry…”
“How many hours ago did you eat scones like that?”
Yes, I ate two huge scones.
“Yeah, I’m really hungry these days.”
“okay. I heard that Soo-in needs a lot of calories during her growth period and that the amount of food she eats varies depending on the size of her body.”
“I’m a small lizard?”
I said, putting my fingers together.
“…is that so? If that’s the case, that’s a bit strange.”
He was quiet for a moment, as if thinking about something.
By the time the silence was getting uncomfortable, fortunately Richard returned with a waiter who had a meal.
* * *
“You say you have to ride this carriage?”
“yes.”
“Is this really where my family is…?”
“yes.”
When I nodded, Richard made a worried expression.
In fact, I did just that. Even if the carriage was fancy, it was too fancy. My eyes were sore as if it had been covered with gold.
‘Sending such a gorgeous carriage…’
Richard’s vigilance only increased.
“…BamBam, did someone give you candy and call you my dad?”
Richard put the carriage right in front of him and dragged me to a corner and asked in a low voice.
‘…This kid knows me as a fool.’
Richard glanced at the elongated carriage and at me with an expression of total disbelief.
“no.”
“…BamBam, is my dad a con artist?”
“…no.”
“…then a loan shark?”
“…no.”
Richard has a knack for making strange imaginations very realistic.
‘It must be because I don’t believe it that much.’
To put it in a slightly novelistic way, ‘I thought I was an orphan, but I’m actually the only heir to the duchy?!’ Because it feels the same.
‘Thinking like this, I think I understand a little bit…’
I don’t believe it even if it’s like me. If he suddenly brings such a flashy wagon and asks to see your father…
‘That’s definitely suspicious.’
I said it again.
“It’s okay.”
“…Is the owner of that wagon really my dad?”
“yes.”
“…why did you leave me in such a great house?”
“Let’s go.”
Instead of answering, I grabbed two of Richard’s fingers with my small hand and carefully pulled them.
“…It’s strange. Why are you looking for me now?”
“Go and do it yourself.”
“…The heartless BamBam.”
Even if you say it in such a drooping voice, there is nothing I can do about it.
‘Even so, my head hurts too…’
In order to keep the promise with Richard, I had to stay in that mansion for a while, but the justification wasn’t enough.
I’ve been thinking about what I can bet on from a while ago, but I can’t come up with anything that I should.
‘Duke Colin must have been very resourceful…’
Duke Colin was a supporting character and was not mentioned much, so there was nothing he could do to help other than find Richard.
“hurry.”
I pushed hard on Richard’s back.
As Richard approached the carriage pretending not to have won, someone who appeared to be a knight politely lifted Richard up and put him on the carriage.
“The lady is going this way too…”
“Yes.”
I was about to get on, but Lucillion, who was hesitating from a distance, caught my eye.
‘What is he doing over there?’
I hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and reached out to Lucillion.
“Come on, let’s go.”
The pupils exposed under the robe widened in surprise.
“…Can I go too?”
“…are you not going?”
Why did you suddenly do that when he was chasing you?
“…no, I’m going.”
Lucillion quickly walked over and placed her hand on my palm.
“….”
“….”
What are you asking me to upload?
‘I have no conscience.’
I stared blankly at the hand on the palm of my hand and grabbed his hand with both hands.
And he pulled with all his might.
Lucillion’s eyes widened.
