Chapter 283: She Looks Like... A Crow

"Kriek~!!"

Dressed in a casual black tee and black trousers, I leaned over the edge of the terrace boundary, observing the city below in the morning light, when a sudden bird chirping caught my attention.

I looked up, and in an instant, something fell onto my face. It was a bird! It had my head gripped in its large talons while pecking at me with its beak!

"Ouch! Hey! Hey! Sera! Stop!"

Cursing, I managed to grasp Sera by the end of her neck and pulled her up.

By now, she was more than half the length of my arm, and she was unusually heavy even for a bird of her size.

Pulling her up was a bit difficult in my current condition, but I managed.

Despite my efforts to pull her back, though, Sera persisted in trying to latch onto my head with her huge talons until she finally gave up.

"I'm sorry I left you alone, but it was dangerous outside Sera! And you were sleeping!"

"Kriek~!!"
