After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 129: Unsettled (1/2)

Rainer bought two strong horses at the market and also bought a trailer for transporting goods.

The next morning, he asked the subhuman slaves to get on the carriage and follow the caravan to Cannon.

The elf Aliana was brought here by Selena yesterday at noon.

She spent the whole day inexplicably, and it was obvious that although she had a lot of fun, she was also very tired. As soon as she got home, she went into her room to sleep, sleeping from noon until the next morning.

If it weren't for the departure, she would be reluctant to get up.

Even her clothes were packed by Martina and Daisy.

"Reiner... I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to rest first." Aliana yawned. In order to prevent herself from falling off the horse, she took out a rope to tie herself and Reiner tightly. "Wake me up when it's time to eat."

Being wrapped around the waist felt a bit uncomfortable, and Reiner said reluctantly, "Can't you sleep in the carriage? Let the sweet and soft demi-human ladies take turns holding you."

Aliana closed her eyes, her voice becoming increasingly quiet. She whispered, "Forget it. That subhuman sister of Roxanne is terrifying, like a snake. I don't like being around her..."

Reiner complained, reaching out to straighten her slightly crooked body. "Nonsense, she's a snake-like demihuman, and she's actually quite pretty. Aside from her somewhat cold personality, she has almost no flaws."

"I don't want to... I want to follow you... Don't let me fall... Wuwu..."

Just then, Martina came up on horseback.

She looked puzzled and asked, "Honey, who are you calling pretty again?"

Reiner glanced at her and saw that this girl could actually understand a little Elvish, so he said: "Of course it's you, my dear baby."

Martina was very impressed by this. She raised her head, hummed twice, and stopped asking questions.

"Where is that stupid dragon?" Martina looked around and suddenly noticed that Fran had disappeared.

Reiner knocked on the fire magic stone on the top of his staff, which had regained its luster, and replied, "She is resting her staff. Maybe she is tired of playing with you."

In front of him, Fran turned into a dazzling red light and entered the staff.

Martina narrowed her eyes, leaned close to the Fire Demon Stone, and looked at it, wondering, "How can such a small stone get into it?"

"This is magic, so please don't make random guesses." Reiner lit a flame in his hand and warmed Martina's hands.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the snow on the roadside is getting thinner, and large areas of black soil are exposed.

Reiner had already made plans for the journey. While on the road, he wanted to teach the demihumans the Barnet language.

Although some of them knew Handdiast, they would be staying in Cannon for a long time and needed to continue learning.

Among them, Peggy is not only smart, but also learns things very quickly. In just over ten minutes, she can memorize hundreds of words that Reiner wrote on paper. Even Junice is ashamed of herself.

In contrast, other demihumans learn much slower than her.

At this rate, it would take about three to four months to become proficient in Barnett.

"This girl is amazing. If I had her learning ability, I might have been able to learn Barnett from you in just a few days." Junice exclaimed.

"That's so smart." Reiner reached out and pinched Junice's soft cheek, then glanced at Peggy.

The two of them were looking into each other's eyes.

(He's peeking at me? No...it's definitely me peeking at him...)

Reiner noticed the inner changes of the little fox.

This guy has eight hundred ideas in mind, and seven hundred of them are focused on Reiner.

One thing at a time, Reiner was generous with his praise: "Peggy, you've done a great job, keep up the good work."

(I was praised!)

Paige's eyes lit up.

Reiner smiled, rode to the front of the team, and started chatting with Nora...

Two days passed.
