Chapter 30: Waking Up Late Lets Chicken Peck Your Fortune (2)

Danzel opened his eyes wide. He felt extremely familiar with Basil's tone that he replied him unconsciously. It felt like he had done that many times already. It just felt right.

"James was a good friend of mine. Naturally, his father is also my father. I am sorry if I have somehow crossed the line."

Basil bowed his head apologetically. He really meant it. He had buried Danzel's body in the past. He had missed the moment they had spent laughing together. It just came out unintentionally.

He was aware that he couldn't act that close to the newly met Danzel. However, Danzel was a bit different.

"No, it's alright. I was just surprised. I kinda like that.. since it feels extremely familiar."

"Ah, I have heard James called you that way too. Is that the reason?"

"...I guess."

Danzel couldn't answer it easily. It was true that James had also called him that way. However, Basil had a unique feeling on him that was extremely familiar to him.
