章節 139: Chapter 138
[Third Person's PoV]
Cid was walking through the capital with a baby carrier on his chest, while Baby Celeste held his finger as they explored together.
'Woah! It really is a whole other world!' Celeste excitedly thought.
As she held Cid's finger, she looked at it for a bit. 'Suddenly I have this urge to…'
*Nom*
Cid looked down and saw Celeste chewing on his finger, which made him chuckle and caress her cheek.
"BOSSU!!"
Cid turned towards the voice and saw Delta waving excitedly before rushing toward him.
She jumped on Cid, hugging him from behind. "Hey Bossu!" She then patted Celeste on the head. "Hey, puppy."
Celeste looked at Delta while chewing on Cid's finger, then chose to ignore her.
"Bossu, let's go hunting. Pretty please?" Delta asked, looking at Cid with puppy eyes.
With his free hand, Cid started to pet Delta's head. "Sure, but we'll have to wait until Celeste goes to sleep later tonight."
Delta tilted her head in confusion. "Why not bring her with us? It could be her first hunt," Delta said, getting excited about the idea.
"Because she's still a baby, Delta, and it isn't something a girl her age should be seeing," Cid briefly explained.
Celeste looked at Cid in confusion, wondering what he was talking about, then disregarded it and focused on exploring the capital with their new company.
"But Bossu—" Delta began to protest, but Cid gave her a look, and Delta knew to drop it, causing her ears to flop down sadly.
Seeing that, Cid sighed and started to pat her head and kiss her forehead. "Think of it like a date, Delta. It'll just be you and me hunting with no one else around."
Hearing this, Delta's ears perked up and her tail started to wag excitedly once more. "Really, Bossu!? You mean it?"
Seeing Cid nod, Delta threw her arms in the air and started to howl and run in circles around them, causing some of the civilians to look at them strangely.
Cid and Delta then continued to show Celeste the sights until she started to get hungry. They turned a corner and sank into their shadows, reappearing in front of Aurora, who was sitting on Cid's childhood bed reading a book.
Seeing them appear, Aurora put her book down. "What's wrong?"
"Someone is getting tired and hungry," Cid said as he rubbed the top of Celeste's head.
Aurora stretched out her hands and started making baby faces and noises. "Aww, is my widdle baby hungwy? Come to mama."
As Aurora started breastfeeding, she saw Cid and Delta change into their Shadow Garden outfits. "And where are you two going?"
"Delta wanted to go hunting," Shadow explained as they both disappeared into his shadow.
They appeared near the entrance of the forest, and as they did, Delta immediately started sniffing the air.
She then did a dramatic turn and pointed deeper into the forest. "Over there, I smell prey."
Delta got on all fours and started to run, climbing up a tree and jumping from branch to branch. Shadow followed close behind, letting Delta do her own thing.
Shadow stopped and leaned on a tree, watching Delta jump down from the trees. Gauntlets made of stone formed on her hands, and as she punched the ground, some of the trees started to uproot while the ground caved in, causing everyone around her to lose their footing and fall.
Shadow felt indifferent to the sounds of screaming and pleading for mercy.
He watched as Delta grabbed one of the fallen figures, lifted them into the air, and ripped them in half as if they were sheets of paper. She moved to the next person, obliterating them with her fist, painting the ground and several feet ahead of her with blood.
Delta then turned toward the last person, grinning madly. The person crawled back into a standing tree, holding out his hand. "Wait, wait, wait! Please don't kill me!"
"Delta doesn't like to be told to wait," she said savagely, ready to throw her punch.
"Sarah! You're Sarah, right?" the man desperately yelled.
Delta stopped as the man lowered his black hood.
"Y-You r-remember me, right?" he stuttered. "It's me, your brother!"
Delta took a whiff. "You smell like Dad," she nodded, agreeing with his statement. "But I have no memory of you."
The wolf man nervously laughed. "Haha, I see. It's been a long time after all… I heard our dad hunted you down after you became 'possessed.' It's a surprise you're still alive."
Delta continued to look at him coldly, her eyes narrowing. "Delta is a master of the hide-and-go-seek."
"Delta? Is that the name you go by now? Huh? But thank goodness, as far as I can tell, your 'possession' seems to have gone away, right?"
He then started to gain a confident expression, thinking that Delta would let him live due to their family ties. "I can ask Dad to let you join back in the pack. We both know how amazingly talented you were, so I'm sure he would agree with just a few words of persuasion."
"So put your gauntlet down, okay?" he said with a friendly smile, motioning for her to lower her fist.
Delta's expression soured as her hands blurred, grabbing the wolf-man by his throat. "Delta could have come back if she wanted to!!"
"Ughhh!!" The man screamed, putting a hand on hers to stop her from crushing his throat. "Okay! Okay! No Pack! No Pack! How about I introduce you to a new master, a master worthy of your talents!?" he desperately tried to change her mind.
"Right now, I work for Lord Gettan, known as 'the Legendary Wolf.' He's the most powerful warrior among all the wolves. I'm sure you could even become his concub—"
His words were cut short by Shadow, who flew down and caved his face in, breaking his jaw and all his teeth. Pressing his foot down, Shadow looked at the man with cold eyes.
"My wife is no one's concubine," he said coldly.
What followed were muffled screams and cries as the wolf-man tried to get Shadow's foot out of his mouth. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked toward Delta for help.
But Delta wasn't even paying attention to him; her entire focus was on Shadow. Her hands were close together as her tail swayed back and forth.
"Hehehe, did Bossu get jealous for Delta?" she asked with a cheeky grin.
Shadow just scoffed and looked to the side. Delta walked around to his side and started poking at him.
"You did, didn't you? Hehehe, Bossu got jealous for Delta," she sang merrily while circling him.
"Bossu got jealous for Delta," she continued to sing.
She then wrapped her arms around his waist and started to shake her tush while making kissy faces at Shadow.
"Don't worry, Bossu, hehehe, Delta's heart belongs to only you." She said with a large toothy grin, causing Shadow to blush a bit and look away.
Delta's good mood was interrupted by the sound of whimpering. She looked down to see her 'brother' looking up at her with pleading eyes.
She ignored him, pretending he didn't even exist.
"Bossu? Why are you still stepping on trash? Want Delta to kill him for you?" she asked, tilting her head up toward Shadow.
Shadow lifted his foot, causing blood and teeth to fall. The wolf-man let out a breath of relief before Shadow slammed his foot down with greater force, killing him for good.
"Just wanted to see if you had anything else to say to him," Shadow said.
Delta, still with her arms wrapped around Shadow, put a claw on his chest armor and started moving her finger in circles, looking at him with lustful eyes.
"Since Bossu was jealous for Delta, how about Delta rewards Bossu so he won't have those feelings? hehehe"
Shadow sighed as he grabbed Delta's face, lowered his, and kissed her lips. Her tail began wagging happily.
