Volume 7 Chapter 51: Let’s Play!
"..." Why am I here? Krystal took a deep sigh. It was the same situation with Herrick joining the island: she was sitting in the dining room. Keith was quickly taken out of the room by Scarlet and Alfia. Sarah told her to stay here and wait. While Keith was trying to escape a predicament, the girl was in her own predicament.
She had nothing to say about this. Even being here made it weird.
Your punishment is going to be going over to Keith's island. Listen to whatever he says.
That was Cadmus's punishment for her. That was the problem; what kind of punishment was that?
Do I have to listen to his orders? Krystal's face contorted with a mix of confusion and humiliation. Besides this being a strange request, she understood somewhat. Did he do it because I'm a Rustchil? Cadmus definitely knew about the relationship between the two. This fell into the humiliation category. If her relatives heard about this, they would mock her. And yet,
This is too light. But that punishment was too light still after what had transpired.
While Krystal continued to mull it over, she turned her head and spotted a couple of animals staring at her. There was a small furry animal that had a humanoid on top. While a wolf, hawk, hedgehog, and leopard surrounded them.
"...Hello." It seemed they were waiting for her to speak before they talked. Hearing her greetings, Fira greeted, "Hello! My name is Fira!"
"Po!" "Kwak!" "Woof!" "Meow!" "Pii!" The others soon followed with their voice, not wanting to be left out of the greeting.
"Uh," Krystal was confused; so many voices sprang forward.
"That's Mir, Agi, Saphir, Leopard, and Quill." Fira quickly introduced the spirits to the woman.
"...I see. Hello, everyone." Krystal bowed her head slightly.
"..." There was a slight silence before Fira quickly asked, "Are you going to be living on the island with us?!"
"Uh, for now." Krystal nodded. That brightened up the spirit squad as they surrounded her.
"Do you want to go out and play?!"
"Okay." Krystal nodded as she tossed the frisbee again. She kept doing it for some time before they got tired. Mir rested beside Krystal's leg.
"Umm," "Bo,"
"Mir wants you to pet him." Fira translated.
"Eh?" You want me to pet him? Krystal stared at the snowball. He was really puffy, like a pillow. She would be lying if she said she didn't want to do it.
Krystal bent down and patted the snowball's back. As she did,
Soft. It was exactly what she expected. No, it was even more so as her hand was sucked in. She continued to pat the snowball, not realizing,
"Heh, it seems like you're having fun."
"!" Krystal froze as she saw Keith by the door.
"Thank you for playing with them."
"Don't ever mention it."
Keith laughed, "Alright, I won't."
"Have you guys finished talking?" The group had been talking for a long time.
"Mmhmm. You're going to be staying with us." A tired sigh came out of his mouth.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Nothing for now. I don't think we could do anything with an empty stomach." With how long they discussed, it was almost dinner time. Everyone was definitely hungry.
"I'm going to go prepare dinner. You can go play with them some more."
"...Understood."
