Chapter 40: Thief found! But it was actually Scaryyy!
TL: kizen
ED: FilipGecko
AN: Just who the hell stole the carrots……! (´・ω・｀) (Knows but just pretending not to know)
「Nya~ (Ghost?)」
「Wan (Yeah)」
「Chuー (That’s right jya)」
We met up with Nafra in the middle of the night and explained the situation about the fields to her.
We talked about how the carrot field was ruined, the hoof tracks we found, and how we followed those tracks into the forest where they suddenly disappeared.
Nafra started giggling after listening to us talk about the fear that we felt.
「Nya~ (No way~. Silly Routa-san. Do you still believe in ghosts~? There are no such things as ghosts you know~? Pfftー)」
「Wan (Grrr)」
「Chuー (Grrr)」
It was really irritating to see Nafra with her front paw on her mouth trying to hold in her laughter.
「Wan (Aren’t you kind of a ghost yourself? You’re originally a corpse after all)」
「Chuー (What was that? This is the first I have heard of such a thing you know?)」
「Nya~ (Nafra is trainee homunculus that’s using a cat’s corpse as a vessel. Nafra is a high performance familiar that consolidates the essence of the greatest scholars you know? That’s why please don’t lump Nafra together with unscientific beings such as ghosts)」
「Chuー (T-that is amazing nojya!)」
Nafra puffed her chest out in pride while Ren jumped up and down as she praised her.
A corpse or a homunculus, it doesn’t matter what she calls herself since both are the same to me.
「Wan (Anyway, we’re going to stand watch in the fields tonight. Let’s go)」
I started walking toward the fields.
Meanwhile, Ren and Nafra were just in relax mode on my back.
「Wan (Oi, you guys. Walk by yourselves)」
「Nya~n (No way~. Sitting on Routa-san’s back is the best you know~?)」
「Chuー (There’s no way we’re heavy so you are in no position to complain. What are you dissatisfied with when you have two beauties on your back?)」
You guys are animals though.
I repeat, you guys are animals.
I can’t even tell whether you’re male or female, much less whether you’re actually beautiful or not.
Also, Nafra, you have skipped bathing again, have you? You have a subtle beastly smell you know?
What will you do if I bring that kind of smell back when I enter Ojou-sama’s bed?
We arrived at the fields as we were having our usual banter.
It seems like the Illusive couple had already gone to bed.
I could tell since the stables that were lit with a crystal lamp were already quiet.
Because of that, we quietly passed through the stables while trying not to disturb them and hid inside a bush that was close to the fields.
「Wan (Well then, Nafra)」
「Nya~ (Yes?)」
「Wan (I’ll leave the lookout to you. I’m going to sleep)」
「Chuー (If that’s the case then I will do the same. Let us know if you see anything)」
「Nya~ (H-huhー. No fair~)」
You, didn’t you laze around more than I did today?
I was really busy keeping Ojou-sama company and helping out the twin-tailed maid-chan with the laundry you know?
That’s why I need to make up for my chronic lack of sleep.
