Chapter 143: Educational Guidance

Back to Ren's POV.

"Ahahaha! Over here~"

"Huh? Come over here!"

The children seemed to be having fun playing tag with Altair and Spica. At first I was worried about what would happen to them(?), the magical beasts(?)... Well, Altair and Spica. They both had a young mental age so maybe that was why they could get along with the children well.

I was smiling while watching over them when I could feel the first boy that approached me and asked me permission to see my magical beasts glaring at me.

Huh? I thought he's the one most excited about seeing the magical beasts?

"You're not going to play with Spica and Altair?"

Sensing I was moving, Spica came to me and coiled his body around my feet. I slowly approached the boy who had a very displeased expression on his face.

Altair was still flying in the sky, playing tag with the children who were calling for him excitedly.

"Mikal, what's wrong?"

Sig-san who was following me also asked what was wrong with the boy. Sig-san looked confused.

"It's fine. They are fluffy and cute but... Because they are magical beasts, I thought they would look cooler and stronger after taking a closer look at them... They don't look that strong or cool at all... I've never heard magical beasts playing tag with children like this too... I guess the magical beast resembles their master?"

Apparently this boy, Mikal, was upset because Altair and Spica didn't fit the image of magical beast he had in mind.

Well it is true that appearance wise, both Altair and Spica look like a cute parrot and cat respectively....

『What?! Are you saying that I look weak?! And you even dare say I look weak because I resemble my master?! Are you trying to make fun of me?! 』

Spica immediately reacted upon hearing Mikal's statement. Spica was now growling angrily. He was particularly upset at the insulting remark toward me. The fur on Spica's back was bristling menacingly.

"Spica! Calm down! Okay...?"

He looked like he was ready to pounce at Mikal at any given moment so I immediately sat down beside him, told him to calm down while stroking his back. Even though he looked small and adorable, a bite from him certainly must've hurt.

Well... It's not like I don't understand what Mikal is feeling though....

"Mikal, Altair and Spica look small like this so you guys won't get scared of them. In their original form, they could easily swallow you whole, you know? Also, you must never say anything insulting about their master in front of a magical beast. Magical beast has pledged absolute loyalty toward their contracted master so if you're careless, you might end up in great danger, okay?"

With a stern expression on his face, Sig-san explained that both Spica and Altair were not in their original form and taught him the danger of insulting the master of a magical beast in front of the said magical beast.

I don't mind it because I'm well aware that I look weak but I wonder if you can really get killed just for saying things like that in front of another magical beast master? I think Sig is saying that seriously like that because he wants Mikal to truly understand how dangerous his remark was.
