A Trashes Way To Saving The World

Chapter 9: A Little Follower (2)

"Haaaah—"

Cale stretches his stiff shoulders as he yawns, since there was only one layer cloth to lay on, the hard ground got to him.

Although, little did Cale know that while he was sleeping, it looked like the best sleep he ever had. His face was full of contentment as he slept in the most uncomfortable positions ever.

A smile washes over his face as he stretched his body like a cat. Grace looks at him deadpanned.

Cale... Even if I think you look cute doing that.. You'll attract so many unnecessary bugs around you...

Even with her thoughts from last night that Cale wasn't as much of a troublemaker as Jour, Grace was certain that Cale would be the core of many events to come very soon.

It was certain the moment he whistled that tune to her and when she ran to him.

Though, she did not regret it.

However it seems Cale is still as clueless as he was back then, seeing as how he does not seem to realise that fact, and is acting like there is no care in the world.

Doesn't cause trouble but attracts trouble.

That, was Grace's thoughts as she continues to watch him stretch. However, the only misconception Grace had was that Cale was both, causes trouble and attracts trouble.

He was both a trouble magnet and a troublemaker, that is why he will be the very heart of everything soon.

With all the schemes he will be doing, he will bring both joy and happiness to numerous people as well as Grace herself.

That is what makes him lovable, but true ones would see that he was lovable from the start, even before all chaos didn't start yet.

"Grace, let me take that off. You're hot, right?"

As he said that, Cale starts stripping off the blanket covering Grace and tells her to stand up as well so that he could keep the big cloth their laid on.

Like a housewife...

Cale was really diligent and took care of Grace well that she couldn't help but think like that. Although for the last decade he didn't come visit her much, he did make up for it by all this attentive and gentle care for her.

And Grace didn't feel like it was only because he needed to ride her to the capital. It was all sincere.

Throughout her time in the Henituse County, no, when she had gained human intelligence, Grace had hoped to have a physical body like humans so she could interact and express herself more.

Since horses couldn't talk and humans can't understand horse language, Grace had yearned to have a human body so she could speak and interact with humans.

However, she quickly dismissed that silly thought, it was never going to come through anyways, so, she made her own way on expressing her thanks.

After all, actions speak louder than words.

And, Cale's actions really do speak louder than words ever could. His touch warm and gentle, as if afraid of ever hurting her.

Grace could only think to herself, What kind of princess treatment is this?, while she keeps receiving such care.

Though, she really didn't mind, in fact, she loves it! But to be honest, who doesn't? Getting such good treatment, that is.

Living in the stable with other horse was a pain to Grace. For one, it was stinky; the other horse all poop and piss and the stable person don't even come clean it up immediately, but they do clean hers like a shot—however that was because she was Cale's horse and he told(threatened) them to take good care of her, not that Grace knows though.

And second, all the other horses there were dumb and ugly; Grace had wondered to herself if she had acted as dumb as the other horses in the stable before she got her intelligence, and if she did, she'd kill herself. The other horses were so ugly and so not graceful at all. She had prayed to look at Cale's or Jour's beautiful faces again, even some average looking people would do, just not the ugly horse. That was why Grace always close her eyes, they were just too ugly.

Haa....

Grace sighs as she steals a glance at Cale again. Her ears flicked. Cale was standing in front of something, something that was laying on the floor, unmoving.

Did he kill it? No.

Seeing as how Cale was standing in front of it like that, he definitely didn't kill it. If he did, he wouldn't take a second glance and cook it or throw it away already

Getting up and striding her way close to Cale, she sees a dead deer that looked to be it was just hunted. On the ground was a drawing of a fork and a knife.

It was as if someone had left the deer there for them to eat.

After taking a good look at the deer and the drawings on the ground, Grace turned to look at Cale who had a stoic face, however, she could see the tinge of amusement, excitement, and confusion in his eyes.

Grace shook her head. He had definitely done something and the thought of him not being a troublemaker was almost taken back had it not been stopped in the middle.

Haa... Is the dragon followed me? Come to think of it, what happened after I left? I was so exhausted that I fell asleep right away after I changed my clothes.

Cale reflected as he looks elsewhere in search for the hiding dragon before he shook his head in mockery of himself.

How could he be able to detect a dragon?

Let's just pretend I don't know. I'll confirm if it really is him....

Cale told Grace and the following days were the same with wild hog, rabbits, and all sorts of fruits. Cale was now sure about the existence of the dragon following behind him.

Cale then arrived at Puzzle City with that confirmation in his mind.
