Voli just nodded meekly. He doesn't want to come back to this place again! It was too quiet. He almost lost his sanity here, and he could only sleep for three days without doing anything. The most important thing is that he can't eat his master's cooking!
"Good boy, let's scram." Fein hopped in the back of Voli with ease. "As always, your back is my favorite spot. It makes me comfortable." He caressed the soft fur under him using his hand. Voli's fur gave him the illusion that he was touching silk on his hand.
...
Fein and Voli have finally arrived at his house. Along the way, people would give them a curious glance. After all, although not rare, it's also not common to see a white bear on the road. And the size of Voli made him eye-catching. It even reached the point that a group of law enforcement agencies came to them and questioned it. Of course, it took only the 'Ranger's Eye' badge to solve the misunderstanding.
Voli gulped as he looked at the house that has two floors in front of them. The ground floor has five independent rooms. While the second floor consists of six rooms... Of course, this apartment doesn't belong to them, but Fein had already bought it secretly from the owner. The pay for the rent that his mother ultimately ends up on his hand. And he would commission someone to buy a lot of his mother's goods in the bakery. Yeah, it looks complicated and looks like a waste of money, but money has already disappeared from the list of his problem. He is not flexing he's just stating a fact.
"Wait for me here. I will first call my sister." He stepped forward onto the stairs.
Voli just cleverly sat in his place without doing anything. 'I just need to behave,' He kept telling to himself. If he f*cked up, although he doubt that his master would kick him out of the cave again. But it's better not to try it.
After a few moments, when he's just about to fall asleep. He heard the two kinds of footsteps. One was silent as the night that he barely even heard it with his enhanced senses, while the other one was just like how a normal person walks, clearly untrained.
In his vision, He saw Fein's figure appear, beside him was a fine young lady with shoulder-length hair brown hair, white skin, and a delicate face that was devoid of blemishes, her light brown eyes seem to shine as the sun reflects on them.
Voli looked curiously at the human that his master's supposed sister. 'She looks like a spitting image of my master but gentler and more pleasant to the eyes.' Voli couldn't help but comment rudely on his mind...
When the girl's eyes met his, she obviously looked stunned and froze stiffly in her place. "Brother..." Fey shifted her gaze to her brother and the white bear that sat like a human. "When you mean by friends' is this?" She pointed at the enormous bear.
"Yes." Fein patted Voli's back. "Look his definitely cute and harmless." He smiled at his sister and gestured to him to walk closer. "Don't worry, I even ride on his back. Right, buddy? Show him that you're a good fella."
Voli understood his assignment instantly as he saw his mister wink at him. Voli waved his paw at Fey with an innocent look.
Fey looked at the cute white bear in front of her. She felt like her heart melted with the cuties in front of her.
"It's not going to attack, right?" Fey asked his brother for clarification.
"Do you think it would let me pet him?" Fein asked rhetorically.
"It's just shocking, I guess, but weird abilities already exist, so this one is quite acceptable to me." Fey took a deep breath and walked in their direction.
When she was only one step away, she raised her hand, and reach out to the white bear's furry head.
She had prepared herself to use her powers in case the white bear suddenly attacked. Of course, she trusts that her brother won't let that happen.
Voli just looked amused at the cautiousness of the girl. 'She also has the same cautious personality as my master, but she was more skeptical.'
Even Fein on the sideline looked amazed at his sister's cautious behavior. He had to admit that it had taken him two mistakes to become as cautious as his current self. But his sister became like this with just one incident.
'It's probably because I was born in the peaceful era of Earth?'
Of course, the Earth isn't all peaceful. History was full of bloody wars like World War I and World War II. The Earth has its fair share of blood rivers. Humans aren't really a peaceful race, to begin with. In the Dark Age or even Iron Age, where laws and morality weren't as rigorous as the modern age. Humans killed each other unrestrainedly, whether it was for dominance, wealth, and glory. Only after countless lessons brought by war, have they stopped. Education at an early age and the long peace on Earth had eroded the nature of humanity, but it still exists within, it's just dormant.
Fein shook his head. 'Damn, my thoughts are drifting again.' He wondered where did he get this f*cking habit.
When he looked in front of him, he just saw Fey caressing Voli's head gently. While Voli just obediently lets her do it. Fein couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Now that Voli finally got the approval of Fey, convincing his mother would become a piece of cake.
"Fey, this is my Beast Companion." Fein decided to strike the Iron while it was hot. "In the Degu Society, people that have a beast or pet are called 'Beast Tamer', and the one in front of you is a legendary one that has the potential to become S-rank."
"What!?" Fey blurted out as she looked at the Voli with amazement. She knew her brother won't lie to her.
After all, the S-rank is still far away from her. Because, according to her brother, she was just D-rank. But he also explained that it was already good because she just started.
