บท 38: SunShine Pet Store

Lambu (the fiery snake pet of Mohini) rushed towards the pond area to find the lady Kirin. But in the middle of the sky route, before he even reached the pond, Lambu saw Fire Kirin.

"Hmmhh… the Kirin is going towards the young master. Does that mean I missed my chance to teach a lesson to this little kid?" Lambu muttered while staring at the Fire Kirin, which was rushing in Kent's direction.

"No… I must teach a lesson to this little kitten." Lambu muttered before rushing towards Fire Kirin at top speed.

Lambu, who is an evolved being, easily reached the Fire Kirin and stood before her with a bootleg turn.

After seeing the black shadow before her, the Fire Kirin came to an abrupt halt. After gazing at Lambu varyingly, she took a side path and began rushing forward. But Lambu blocked her path again.

"Stop you, little kitten... you can't escape from me." Lambu said with a proud face while standing in a heroic pose.

The Fire Kirin stared at Lambu varyingly without saying anything.

"I came here to teach you a lesson for ignoring the young master, Kent. From now on, you should serve young master like an obedient slave. If not, I will beat you every day." Lambu declared with a mischievous smile.

But the Fire Kirin laughed at his threat and wiggled its tail in a mocking manner.

Anger by its act, Lambu extended his tail and slapped at the snow-white ass of Fire Kirin.

'Ahhhrrr…' The fire Kirin roared in pain and ran away to escape from Lambu.

"Hahaha, you little kitten. You can't escape from an evolved being." Lambu said with loud laughter and ran behind Fire Kirin to slap its ass.

Time passed quickly. The sun has already left the horizon. Almost every disciple left the school.

The elder in charge of the aura chambers finally woke from his slumber. "It's already night!... Why did that young man still not returned the key? Or is he left without handing the key?" The elder muttered in a sleepy state and left to check on Kent in room number 17.

By the time the elder reached, the room is still locked, and an occupied sign is placed on the door. With an annoyed sigh, the elder knocked on the door hurriedly.

Kent, who was immersed in studding the 99 arrows of Arcane Tome, hurriedly got up after hearing the knock. He adjusted his clothes and placed the book inside his bracelet before opening the door.

The elder shouted impatiently after seeing Kent. "It's already night... the aura chambers only work during school time. What are you do...?!!" Before the elder finished his sentence, he stopped abruptly as he stared at Kent's face with wide eyes.

"Wha… what happened to your face?" The elder muttered in a stuttering tone.

Kent, who had already checked his face in the glass orb, understood that the elder is surprised because of his new spotless skin.

"I'm always like this elder... Is there anything wrong?" Kent asked in a casual tone.

The elder did not understand what to say. Before he could draw any conclusions, Kent placed the red key stone in elder hands and left the Aura chambers.

Mohini is also observing Kent from skies. "The young master must be practicing body-strengthening sutra." She muttered while shifting her shape from an owl to a normal female witch appearance.

Lambu, who had already landed after teaching Kirin to behave, changed his shape to parrot and rested on Mohini's shoulder.

While thinking about the techniques mentioned in the Arcane Tome, Kent walked towards the school gate.

Just as he reached the school entrance, he saw Fire Kirin, who is standing with her head down. Thankfully, all disciple have left the school. Otherwise, the news of Fire Kirin will be spreading like a wildfire by now.

As Kent approached the Fire Kirin, she bent down her front legs and bowed in a respectful stance.

Kent felt surprised after seeing its act. But he ignored her and walked towards the pet stand.

The Fire Kirin followed him obediently and tried to call him by making different sounds. But Kent ignored her like what she did in the pond water.

Lambu, who is resting on Mohini's shoulder, spoke proudly. "Master, do you believe me now? I really thought a good lesson to the lady Kirin."

Mohini scoffed at Lambu's boasting... "Then, why did the Kirin's back turn red? Did you do any unlawful thing?" Mohini asked with an angry look.

Lambu shirked after hearing her accusation. "What… no… nooo… How could I, the mighty fiery serpent, do such things? You are accusing the innocent." Lambu spoke with a crying face.

Meanwhile, Kent finally turned back to see the Fire Kirin, who is making all types of sounds to attract his attention.

"What…? Why did you come to me? Don't you want to live a carefree life?" Kent bickered irritatingly while facing the Fire Kirin.

'Ahrrr… Ahr…' She tried to say something to Kent and tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at Kent. Even though Kirin is a spirit beast by birth, she is still immature with a childish mentality.

Kent's anger vanished after seeing the tears in his eyes. In the next instance, he saw the black mane of Fire Kirin, which used to be a baby pink color.

He hurriedly rushed forward and touched its face. "What happened to you? Did someone hurt you?" Kent asked while rubbing on its back.

The lady Kirin leaned her head on Kent's shoulder and began making some mild sounds. Even though Kent did not understand what she is saying, he definitely felt the sadness in her heart. The Kirin is trying to apologise to Kent, but he did not understand what she saying.

"It's okey… stop crying." Kent said, chuckling as the lady Kirin began licking his skin.

"Stop… stop… You must be hungry. I will buy you good food." Kent said while pushing it away.

He called Ria through the sky orb to find a good place to feed the lady Kirin.

"Young Master Kent, the 'Sunshine Pet Store' in Commercial Street contains all types of pet food. Also, they will do pet decorations. Don't forget to use the discount card." Ria replied in a humble tone while adjusting her clothes to cover the deep cleavage.

Kent waved a thank you through Sky Orb and disconnected the call. "Let's go… Your food store seems very close to our new house." Kent uttered while touching its mane.

Just after hearing his words, the lady Kirin bent down her front legs and gestured for Kent to sit on its back.

Wondering what happened to Kirin's haughty behavior, Kent sat on its back and guided Kirin towards the commercial street.

This time, the lady, Kirin, obeyed his every word like an obedient house pet.
