Chapter 147 Peaceful Sleep
Slightly ahead.
I need a hole to crawl into.
Ideally, it should be large enough to accommodate my human form after my transformation is canceled.
Of course, it would be even better if it could freely change its size.
After confirming that the forced transformation spell on me could not be lifted in a short time, the three women discussed for more than an hour how to take care of me.
This includes, but is not limited to, arrangements for food and lodging, details of care, frequency of feeding, decoration of the accommodation environment, clothing and appearance when going out, affordable surgical procedures to facilitate communication, basic safety guarantees, and routine massage activities, etc.
If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and interrupted them, they probably would have discussed the funeral arrangements as well...
Hey, don't take it so seriously that I'll be stuck in this state forever! The normal thought process is to find a way to change me back as soon as possible!
"But, but, isn't this big, silly pig even cuter?"
Annie, who had pounced on the bedding, reached out and grabbed me. The arm, which loomed larger and closer than I could see, was like a towering barrier. Even though I tried to use my feline instincts to jump over it from mid-air, I couldn't dodge the speed of her arm as she raised it. I was pulled back into her arms and rolled over with her movements until my belly was up.
Behind me was a hard, bony board that made my spine ache. I couldn't help but open my mouth and yell twice. I subconsciously wanted to kick my legs to make her loosen her grip, but I was worried that I would hurt her. So I carefully retracted my outstretched claws and tried my best to pull myself out.
Then I was lifted up by my armpits, and in front of me was the ground moving away rapidly and the girl's face.
"Ah, it's so tiny, smaller than two palms, and its body is so soft. Why is there such a lovely creature in the world?"
Please go and thank the cat that's been meowing pitifully for so long. I'm not a real cat.
Turning her head to look around, she saw that An had somehow slipped back into the shadows, only peeking out with half his head sticking out. Shen Xue sat under the only magic stone lamp that was still lit, carefully wiping her sword and meticulously performing maintenance.
Only our adorable little silly Hikari was tiptoeing closer from the side, her gaze carrying a clear "I understand" meaning. She was a lovely savior, someone I could entrust with my life, someone who would rescue me from danger—no, perhaps even calling her an angel wouldn't be an exaggeration…
"Phew, as expected, Annie also thinks Mr. Yumi is quite adorable now, right?"
Hikari narrowed her eyes, knelt down beside me, and chuckled lightly, casually uttering the words that betrayed my trust: "If she always looks like this, it feels quite convenient to take care of her."
...My heart is so tired.
In the end, it was Shenxue's words that conveniently saved me: "It's getting late, you should go to sleep. Didn't we say we're going to continue exploring deeper into the Abyss Mountains tomorrow? If you oversleep, I won't be able to take you with me."
"Ah—no way!" Annie instinctively tried to whine, but a second later she realized what she was doing, and she immediately sat up, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's. "I'm not going to oversleep again!"
"Then you must get some rest early."
The girl looked at me, then at the swords that had just been repaired and sheathed: "What about him? If he's still like this tomorrow, can he come with us?"
“I can take him with me.” Miyuki said without hesitation. “The size and weight of the cat will not affect my movements at all.”
"How about we leave it with Sister An?" Hikari raised her hand. "The Shadow Dimension is a relatively safe place. Although it's a bit dark and cramped, it should be just right for a cat, right?"
The cat that was circling around my feet suddenly looked up and meowed.
Since the rabbit, acting as the translator, suddenly covered its mouth and kept laughing, it was impossible to tell whether it was agreeing or expressing a different opinion.
“There’s something else.”
A glint of wisdom suddenly flashed in Hikari's clear eyes, and she continued, "Miss Miyuki, did you check behind you when you came back?"
Miyuki nodded slightly: "I have noticed, and I also had the Pegasus warriors, whose intuition is even more acute than mine, keep an eye on the surroundings, but we haven't found any signs of anyone following us. However, just in case, we should probably clear away any traces that may remain here when we leave tomorrow morning."
“And tonight’s vigil.” Anne yawned.
“I’ll do it,” Miyuki said. “Years of training have made me alert even in my sleep. Compared to the two of you, I’m clearly better at sensing impending hostility.”
"Won't that be too tiring?" Hikari looked at [Frostblade] with some concern. "If you don't get a proper rest all night, your body will break down. How about I take over for the second half of the night..."
[Frost Sword]'s expression remained unwavering: "No, I can do it myself. Maintaining alertness for just one night will not dull or rust the sword; on the contrary, it will become even sharper through repeated sharpening."
This girl is starting to explain her own theories again.
Having not heard from her for so long since we met again, I thought this icy female swordsman had given up on her, but it turns out she's still persisting.
After trying to persuade them a few more times and realizing that they couldn't convince Shen Xue, the two women had no choice but to obediently lie down and tuck me into the middle of the blankets.
The cat quietly slipped into my blanket, followed by the hound that popped its head out from behind. The two, one on the left and one on the right, were like cool water and warm flint, comforting each other on either side. The cat draped its cool tail over me, while the hound nuzzled against me, then obediently rested its head on its crossed paws after I pushed it away, letting out a soft whimper.
