Book 15 Chapter 28

Episode 63

“Wah, I’m baby Rin… give me milk!”

Rista, who had turned around blankly at the incomprehensible sound, froze on the spot.

‘Cu…cu, cute…!’

A being whose pure and clear eyes shone mournfully looked straight up at her, sniffling. Only his body was that of an adolescent, but he was a baby.

“This isn’t the time for jokes, you idiot! It’s an ancient being! The three of us need to combine our strength and quickly take it down!”

Rin, who had turned to look at Friede who had shouted that, ran towards her with cute, pitter-ppatter steps.

“Friede noonaaaa, please give me a hug… I, I, I was so scared!”

Dragon Priestess Friede’s brain and heart stopped for a moment. As she instinctively hugged him, Rin, held in her arms, wiggled his body.

Huh? Hmm? Eh?

Th-this guy… was he actually this cute? She’d always thought he was aloof, so she hadn’t really known, huh?

“Rin, Rin, stop joking, Rin.”

As Pipi poked his forehead with her beak, Rin’s wide, sparkling eyes looked at her as he rubbed his face against Pipi’s head, laughing like a child.

That stimulated Pipi’s biological maternal instinct!

Pipi settled gently and warmly onto Rin’s head, as if brooding over eggs in a nest.

“That wretched form is the end for one who challenged a great being.”

Thryss laughed cunningly, pointing to his third eye.

“The power to turn back only mental time to the past, a power bestowed upon ‘us’ by the one who walks through time.”

Rista raised the tip of Shurpen’s sword high and roared.

“How, how could you do such a cruel thing…!”

Just as she was about to focus her power into the holy sword.

“Wait, Rista!”

“Huh?”

“Wouldn’t it be alright if we defeated it just a little, just a little later?”

“What?”

“No, well, look, how else would we see him this cute if not now? Chaos has already begun, so we can’t stop it, and there are plenty of special operatives and inquisitors, so even if we defeat it a little later…”

For a moment, Rista’s brain rotated 120 times per second, enough to overload even a genius.

It was a tremendous dilemma!

She really wanted to see Rin’s cute appearance. She wanted to see it more. Continuously, if possible! But, but… she was a hero, and at this moment when people were in danger, she couldn’t just stand by.

“Ugh, ugh, uwaaaaaaah! Thryss, I will never forgive you! If you were going to awaken, you should have awakened somewhere where no one was around!”

“Heheheheh, hahahahaha, what reason is there to be angry? It is merely like insects being caught in a typhoon for lowly beings to be unable to withstand this Thryss’s descent.”

“That too, but if it weren’t for here, I could have fully enjoyed Rin’s cute appearance before defeating him! Take this, the judgment of justice!”
