“W-Where did it go?! Did it leave me?! AT LAST! IT’S GONE!!” she shouted and laughed, doing a victory pose with her fist.
“Noisy! Didn’t you see I was sleeping?!” an arrogant voice reached Aylin from behind, as she felt a hand touch her shoulder.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNP8SqmDgW
She flinched as she backed away, then turned around quickly.
A young boy, with messy golden hair and red eyes stood in front of her. He was wearing a red hoodie and black pants. He was frowning as if he looking down on her.
The funny thing was that he was shorter. Since she’s thirteen, she assumed he’s eleven or twelve, younger than her by a year or two. In other words…667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk9GzKjH5w
[Just a kid?]
Sometimes, Aylin forgets that she's young herself. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0FDwjLHDi
She calmed down a bit though, seeing that at least, it was a human.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhWTGM370D
“You scared me there. Please don’t surprise me like that. Are you lost?”667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfZaYCZVr
Aylin smiled as she patted the short guy, glad to see another human at last, then said “I’m lost too!”. As a teenager in the eighth grade, She liked to show off since she’s the older one, even with her younger sister too. She completely looked at the younger boy in front of her as a kid. Amid her enthusiasm, she completely forgot to question his odd looks and sudden presence.
“Who says I’m lost?!” the boy snapped at her. How dare this minor creature look down on him?! Once he finds what clan she came from, he’ll teach all of them a lesson, and make all of them his servants!
“So you know the way to the nearest safe place?! A place With people, and no monsters?” Aylin exclaimed at the boy, as she became excited at the thought! That boy might be living somewhere safe! He could lead her there!
The boy looked at Aylin suspiciously. People? Monsters? Where in the forest did she live, to be in such ignorance?
“You…What clan are you from?”
“???”
“Are you deaf?”
“What?! NO!”
“Then answer me! What’s your clan?!”
“…I’m not from any clan. What the heck are you talking about?”
“Don’t talk to me like that! It’s impossible that you’re not from any clan! Everyone in this region belongs to a clan, except for plants. What kind of a beast are you? A monkey? A lizard? Or maybe…Ah…I got it. Since you’re a big coward, you must be a rat!”
Aylin was speechless. Before she could say anything, the boy continued.
“Hey! Listen! Don’t you dare get carried away just because you’re taller than me in your human form! Remember that I, the Great Egil, almost devoured you today! if it wasn’t for this stupid cave, you would be alive by now!”667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcscPX0OYL
“…”. [CREEPY!] Aylin screamed internally.
“Don’t worry, though. I changed my mind, as I am pleased by your not-so-bad offering. As a result, I shall accept you as my personal chef. As long as you keep offering me these no-so-bad fruits, I shall take you under my wing and you can spend the rest of your puny life serving the great me”667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnJ7kWo8df
“…”
The boy, who called himself Egil, ended his speech pointing at Aylin with a haughty smirk. She had a blank expression as she looked at him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yjiig925
[Hmph! Look at her expression! She’s so happy that she became speechless. Rats are just so simple!] Egil thought confidently.
On the other hand, Aylin felt she might get a headache soon. The first human she met after finding herself in this world is a delusional kid, who kept calling her “rat” and spouting other nonsense.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBDft2OIf8
She had to think carefully about how to converse with him, so that he tells her useful information about this new world.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSA59Y0YUk
