章 73: A New Master

#Near one of the bends of Sunsunhan river

Mr. Begemot was in a long sitting position on the ground. It looked ridiculously cute. Those short legs! He folded them as humans would fold their arms on their chests. Mizuno felt amused. So he went ahead and sat right by him, folding his arms. Now it looked like they both were judges, and Mr. Kumvir was the culprit in a court of justice.

"You two look awfully familiar for a first-time meeting! What am I? The defendant?" Mr. Kumvir was amused at the sight. It was clear that Mr. Begemot and he had a very deep friendship.

Mr. Begemot noticed how Mizuno was copying him as he sat.

"Boy, you find it amusing? I am being serious here." Mr. Begemot moved his tiny ears and gestured like a human with his front leg-turned-arms and said, "Anyway, you need to tell me why you have come this far, hmm? You were fine so far—being away!"
