Chapter 110: Chapter 4.43

"Master!?"

"Gah— Huff— Phew… I'm alright… It's just that… err, ahaha… I, err……"

I can't seem to respond to her question earlier.

Come on, me…! What are the correct words for this kind of situation…!?

"………………"

After a moment of silence and awkwardness, Night Fury suddenly pounced on me and gave me a cuddle.

"Guh…!"

This terrifying feeling is happening again. It felt so comforting that I was so scared of losing it…

"Ah… my master…… my dear master……"

I see… so that's what you meant.

Though she was merely calling for me… but thanks to that, I understood what her confession actually meant. It was love indeed, but it was not love for the opposite gender— it was love as a family.

It took me a while to give a proper response to her feelings.

With that, I cuddled her in return— just like how I did to Restia and Ruby.

"………………"

"………………"

"………………"

Up until this point, I had already stopped with the hug, but not Night Fury.
