"Big brother Zann! Big brother Zann! You're back!"
"Mm. Sorry for being away too long, Amber."
Aranea felt warm to see Zann act brotherly towards a little girl. However, what she heard from the crowd made her heart sink.
"Why is he here?"
"Didn't he run away from home?"
"How did he even return?"
"Tsk… that troublemaker—I thought we're going to have a peaceful life."
"Guess we'll have Ravaya burned down by that wild Fire Familiar, then."
Zann paid no attention to the comments. It was as if he got used to it, their words not hurting him as he paid attention only to Amber who was embracing him.
However, Aranea didn't feel comfortable hearing them say something like this towards her familiar, Zann.
Aranea's hands at the sides balled into tight fists. She gritted her teeth in frustration, already walking towards Zann to protect him.
