Chapter 53

「Fuwaa… ah, excuse me」

I involuntarily yawned… ugh, the drowsiness started attacking me. Various things happened, but when I think about it, it’s currently in the middle of the night. Staying this late might have been possible in my past life, but I’m currently in a child’s body so this is the limit of my stamina. I also kept using magic. Uu… do I have to transfer back to the mansion…

「Ahh, sorry to keep you this late for a talk. Tora, send her off」 「Yeah. Alright」 「Ah, no… I will return by myslef」

When Sei commanded Byakko-sama, I declined in a hurry.

「Don’t be unreasonable. You have spent too much magical power, didn’t you? … Anyhow, it’s just Tora. I’m sure he won’t do anything absurd to Cristea-dono. Right, Tora?」 「I, I wouldn’t do something like that! This is a deal after all!」

Byakko-sama said hastily.

「A deal…?」 「Ah… crap. I, I will send Missy back first!」

As if trying to deflect Sei’s questioning gaze, Byakko-sama lifted me in a hurry and warped.

「Tora, I will ask you in detail when you return, alright?」

I heard Sei’s words just on the brink of the warp.

—————————

We warped to my bedroom when I blinked.

「Ohh… it’s my room」

As expected of Byakko-sama, he doesn’t feel uncomfortable after warping. Hmm, practice is necessary, this is…

After lowering me from his arms, Byakko-sama turned into a tiger cub and exhaustedly crumbled on the floor.

「… I don’t want to return」

Is he sulking? Ah well… he will surely be lectured when he returns. Of course, he wouldn’t want to return… I pat the head and back of the tiger cub Byakko-sama. Even though I know that it’s Byakko-sama… rather, a Sacred Beast, it’s impossible to resist this fluffiness.

「There, there, if you don’t return, you will incur even more pointless anger, you know?」

Besides, if you promptly don’t return, I won’t be able to sleep. In fact, I’m quite sleepy already… sleeping while buried in mofumofu is attractive, but because it’s Byakko-sama… knowing that fact… un, not possible.

「That’s so, isn’t it…」

Haa… he sluggishly got up while breathing out a large sigh.

「Can’t be helped… I will return… ah! Give me something to eat before I return!」 「Eh?」 「This time’s compensation!」
