Chapter 40 Chapter 40
One morning two days later, when Yumi was still sleeping soundly in bed, Ansius, who had been traveling between several planets, finally returned to the manor.
The days of hard work did not seem to leave any trace of fatigue on his body. The man walked straight to the bedroom. He used a gesture to stop the servant opposite who was about to greet him. He gently held the door handle and walked slowly into the bedroom.
The bedroom is cleaned every day. Although Yumi's castle is small, there are small household robots that go in to clean it. Even though it has been away for several days, it is still as tidy as before... No, something is different.
The coffee table closest to the small castle is piled with skill-related books, all of which were bought by Yumi.
Anxius's eyes scanned them one by one, and after a few seconds they landed on the small golden notebook next to the books. He was a little confused.
"Primary Skills Certificate"?
There is no such certificate on the planet Sna. There are very few people who have awakened skills. Most of them will be trained separately as elites. At most, their skills will be noted on their personal certificates and skill-related files will be recorded. There is no need for such certification at all.
Anxius picked up the small notebook, opened it, and what caught his eye were two small ID photos.
One photo shows Yumi as a human. This should have been taken by him a long time ago using a computer monitor. The background is still a small wooden house. He is wearing doll clothes and facing the camera stiffly.
Anxius had seen this photo before. Yumi used this photo to fill in the information when participating in the drilling competition.
The other one is the lamb’s ID photo, which should have been taken by Brewer because the background is Brewer’s basement wall. The lamb’s four legs are stretched straight, its furry head is tilted back, and its eyes seem to be smiling.
Name: Yumi
Gender: Male
Skill: Change Form
Level: Beginner
Issuing agency: Breuer Studio
Antheus: “…”
In the soft quilt, the lamb stretched lazily, and the next moment its ears moved and quickly stood up...someone came in.
Yumi thought it was Carl who came to pick her up to go to "Bruel School". She groaned and got up, shook her fur, jumped steadily to the ground, then opened the castle gate and greeted the figure outside: "Good morning, Carl..."
After their eyes met, the lamb was stunned for a second, and then suddenly jumped up happily. He ran around the man, his hooves making a "kick-tap-tap" sound, and in an instant he jumped up and jumped onto the sofa: "Your Highness Anxius, you're back? Long time no see!"
Yes, long time no see.
Antheus reached out and picked up the lamb.
Yumi was lifted up high, and when he looked down he saw the opened small golden notebook on the coffee table. He immediately explained: "Bruel said that since I can speak now, it means I have mastered basic skills. When I turn back into human form, he can give me an intermediate skill certificate..." Of course he knew that this was not an official certification, but Bruer was a teacher, and the certificates he issued were also valuable. Yumi was motivated!
"What does the advanced certificate require?" Anxius put him down and asked, then he skillfully took the comb and combed his hair and wiped his face. Although he was obviously serving others, he looked very happy.
"On the basis of being able to transform freely between human form and sheep, and successfully transform into other false forms..." Yumi's voice became lower as he spoke. The reason why he did not apply for the advanced certificate was that for him, this matter was like a human being who indeed grew to two meters tall, but expecting an adult of about 1.7 meters to continue to grow to two meters was too much to ask.
Yumi, who is learning skills, knows how difficult it is to make the golden circle bigger, and he probably won't be able to reach the advanced level.
But Brewer said this at the time: "Have a dream, grandpa believes in you."
That expression was exactly like seeing a toddler saying he wanted to be a world champion, and his grandfather gave him a thumbs up and said he could do it...
Ansius did not comment on this, but concentrated on combing the wool and wiping each of his four hooves several times.
When Karl arrived, what he saw was the lamb lying in the prince's arms, enjoying its wool being combed.
"We're not going to Bruer's today," Antheus asked without looking up at the lamb, "Do you want to go on a trip?"
The lamb's lazy eyes opened, sparkling: "Travel?"
"Well, a two-day and one-night camping trip to the beach outside."
Yumi perked up immediately: "Take me with you?"
Karl on the other side had already understood what had happened, and he wanted to go over and rub the lamb's head, "Stupid Mimi, who else can the Crown Prince take if not you?"
Antheus nodded, and Yumi ran back to the small castle excitedly to pack her luggage without saying a word.
Carl was also very happy. He knew that Ansius had been traveling a lot recently and Yumi was very tired from studying recently. It would be great if they could take a vacation together to relax.
Just as he was about to arrange the itinerary, the prince said, "Karl, you stay here. If anyone from the royal family calls me, tell them that I'm recuperating. Don't worry about the rest."
Karl didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and immediately replied yes, and then went to help Yumi prepare the items like an old mother. Because it was a trip, he had to bring a small bag to carry his belongings. Karl struggled for a while between the backpack and the messenger bag, and finally gritted his teeth and put both into the big backpack.
When the time comes, the lamb can choose according to his mood.
When Carl went out to see the prince and the lamb off, he gradually realized something was wrong - the prince had no intention of taking his subordinates with him!
Anxius led Yumi straight into the small aircraft, waited for the servants to put away the camping equipment, and then went to the cockpit...
Karl hurried over: “Your Highness, aren’t you taking anyone else with you?”
The man nodded, focused on starting the aircraft, and flew into the blue sky without giving Carl a chance to dissuade him.
This was not a whim of Ansius, although he was certainly happy about it now.
He has found a doctor who can perform humanoid surgery and is well aware of all the consequences... Now is the stage of preparing for the surgery. Taking Yumi out for a trip before the surgery is a plan that Ansius made a long time ago.
Yumi didn't think too much about it. In his eyes, Ansius was very strong. He was able to escape from the Rhea continent unscathed. Now he was going out for a two-day and one-night trip to a tourist beach. It didn't seem to be dangerous whether he brought anyone with him or not.
This was his first official trip, not a business trip, nor a show, but Yumi took it very seriously. You know, before crossing over, he also planned to travel for a few days after receiving his salary from part-time work, and even made a detailed guide.
Now that Ansius is with him, he doesn't need to make a guide, but he still made all the necessary preparations. This time he brought study notes, a mini camera, and a few of his old hats. He can't wear his clothes now, but he can still wear hats! There are straw hats, peaked caps, berets, bucket hats... all of which are suitable for travel photography~
The cockpit where Ansius was located was not far from Yumi. There was only a glass door between them, which was somewhat like the distance between a taxi passenger and a driver. Yumi tidied her small bag with her hooves and crawled over to watch Ansius fly the aircraft.
Yumi felt that their aircraft was somewhat like a spaceship. It was oval in shape, with a glass cover on the top, and they could see the entire sky by looking up.
The lamb lay down, eating the vanilla snacks prepared by Carl, looking up to admire the beautiful scenery in the sky, and tapping the wooden board with its hooves in a rhythmic manner... It was so enjoyable. If this was a car, he would want to open the window, stand up and embrace the wind.
But the sheep seemed unable to stand up with its arms outstretched? No matter what, the lamb turned over, basking in the sun on its belly, happily waiting for the tourist destination to arrive.
At around noon, they arrived at the base by the sea.
This is a well-developed tourist area, but it is the off-season now and there are not many tourists.
After parking the aircraft, the lamb reminded Ansius to put on sunglasses. The other party didn't care about being recognized, but put them on anyway. He held the lamb in his arms and walked towards the vast seashore.
The sun was very strong, so Yumi put on a big sun hat in advance, looked up and sniffed the fishy smell of the sea in the air, and couldn't help but bleat.
Sea, here I come!
On the beach, some Sna people turned back into their original forms and lay down to bask in the sun, so the appearance of a lamb did not attract anyone's attention.
Yumi could no longer hold back, and as soon as he saw the beach, he arched his body to get down. As soon as Ansius leaned over, he jumped onto the sand and ran as fast as he could.
A long trail of sheep's hoof prints was left on the beach.
Yumi excitedly rushed to the shallow water, stretched out his hooves to tentatively dip into the water, and his little hooves dipped in the clear sea water bit by bit for a long time before he jumped in.
Even if the wool gets wet, you won’t look thinner, and it’s not bloating!
Antheus stood on the shore and looked at him, holding the duck swimming ring he had just bought from the stall.
The lamb was still hopping around in the shallow water and stepping on crabs when he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that there was something yellow nearby… He turned around and saw that it was a big yellow duck swimming ring!
Ansius put him in the swimming ring, then went into the water and swam towards the deep water.
Yumi was lying on his four hooves on the swimming ring, floating at a loss. After a while, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow swimming towards him from a distance... Yumi was almost scared to death. The black shadow had a horn exposed in the water. At first glance, he thought it was a shark. Fortunately, he quickly recognized that it was the horn of Ansius's original form.
The lamb patted its chest with its hooves, which was really scary.
Antheus took off his humanoid suit underwater and came over to play with the lamb.
Yumi used his hooves to paddle to control the movement of the swimming ring. Every time he got a little further away from the monster, he would be pushed back by the monster swimming over. He simply jumped off the swimming ring and started swimming in the water. However, Yumi did not dare to go to the deep water area. Every time he felt the water reached his forehead, he would immediately swam back.
The monster saw his fear, came over, put him on its neck, said "Don't be afraid", and began to swim towards the deep water.
The wet lamb riding on the monster soon became a beautiful scenery on the sea.
Several monsters who were lying in the sun noticed this strange phenomenon and sat up.
"Oh my god, what is that? Floating on water?"
"Just someone who is good at swimming, right? But the original form is too small."
"Hahaha, what a good swimmer!"
"No, look carefully, his hooves are exposed. It's obvious that he is sitting in a boat, right?"
"How can there be a boat stuck in the water? It's a special huge prototype holding it up under the water!"
"Are you sure it's not the lamb driving the yacht?"
“…”
Yumi was so panicked that he was afraid of falling. He couldn't help but touch Ansius's horns with his front two hooves several times. Every time he touched it, it really felt a bit like driving a yacht... Such a rebellious idea was soon blown away by the sea breeze. After a wave, Yumi was carried back to the shore by Ansius.
It was such an exhilarating sea race... The lamb shook off the water and couldn't recover for a long time.
Antheus also shook off the water, lowered his head and rubbed the lamb's head, then picked up the lamb and went to the store to buy coconut milk and ice cream.
The sun was very strong at the beach, and after sitting on the lounge chair for a while, most of the hair was dry. Yumi and Anxius occupied two adjacent lounge chairs on the left and right. He sipped the coconut water Anxius fed him, then lowered his head to lick the ice cream in front of him.
The lamb was lying on its stomach with its two pairs of hooves spread out in an "eight" shape. The sun was shining on its body, and it felt so comfortable that it wanted to sleep.
Before going to bed, Yumi stood up, picked up her sun hat, and asked Ansius to help her put it on.
The lamb lay down again, and when he realized that his forehead was covered by the hat, he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Enjoy a sunbath!
...No, the lamb felt an itchy hoof. He arched his body and looked back at his hoof in confusion...The monster was applying sunscreen on him, yes, on his hoof!
"this……"
"Only the hooves are exposed," Antheus explained seriously, "otherwise you'll get a tan."
So there is still room for tanning? Yumi glanced at her black hooves and fell down in a daze.
The prince's aesthetic taste is a bit strange.
After having her feet wiped, Youmi took a nap in the sun, and her whole body was warmed by the sun.
Before dark, they left the sea area, returned to the aircraft, and went to the nearest island.
There are several tents set up on the green hillside, where tourists are camping.
Ansius found a place next to a tree to set up the tent. The tent was large and felt like home, with a sofa, stove, kitchen utensils, etc. Ansius took out the ingredients and started to cook. The lamb turned around as if he wanted to help, but when he saw his hooves, he resigned himself to lying on the carpet and chewing the apple that Ansius had peeled.
It’s so sweet, just like life now.
Ansius's dinner was simple, he only fried a steak. He prepared four dishes and a soup for Yumi. The dishes were naturally made of different grasses and grains, and the soup was sheep's milk.
Yumi did it all!
My stomach was bloated and I didn't feel like walking, but I still wanted to see the night view of the island... I was squatting at the door gazing at the moon and sighing when Anxius suddenly took out the swing and tied it to two high trees.
Yumi: ...You still have a way!
Just like that, the lazy lamb lay on the swing, being gently rocked by the monster, overlooking the distant view.
Yumi was a little embarrassed, but it was said that skills consume a lot of energy. It was normal for him to lack energy after awakening his skills, right? It must be because of the skills that his physical strength decreased, not because he was lazy on purpose... Soon, the lamb was content to enjoy the prince's service, lying on the swing net, licking the wool on his chest, and was so comfortable that he wanted to write a poem.
I left quietly, just as I came quietly; I waved my hoof and took away not a blade of grass...
Meow~
Without taking a single step, she could see the night view of the island. Yumi turned over contentedly and lowered her eyelids in the night breeze filled with the sound of the waves.
After a while, Ansius heard a snoring sound, took a closer look, picked up the sleeping lamb and returned to the tent.
There were stars twinkling outside. When he walked into the tent, the lamb in his arms vaguely looked like a human. Anxius was startled. Just as he was about to touch it, the human form turned back into a lamb again.
After staring at the lamb in his arms for a long time, the monster started walking again. He bent down and put the lamb back into the nest, tucked in the quilt, turned around to pack up the things in the tent. After finishing the work, the monster returned to lie down beside the lamb, and held the lamb and the quilt tightly in his arms.
Yumi slept until she woke up naturally. After having breakfast with Antheus, she went to the open grassland on the island. There were many captive animals there, the most numerous of which were alpacas. Many tourists were interacting with the alpacas.
The lamb was staring at the alpaca when Ansius beside him suddenly asked him, "Do you want to fly a flying machine?"
What to open?
The lamb's ears twitched so much that they almost became airplane ears. He thought he was hallucinating.
Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Anxius picked him up and walked towards the aircraft: "I will teach you."
Is this really possible? The lamb was shocked.
When they arrived at the cockpit, Anxius first started the aircraft as a demonstration. After it was in the air, he methodically introduced to him the function of each operating area and then demonstrated them one by one.
It doesn't seem difficult...but Yumi doesn't dare!
Finding the lamb at a loss, Ansius carried him to the driver's seat and wrapped his huge wings around him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay if you make mistakes, I'm here."
...Yes, Anxius can fly. Even if the aircraft suddenly falls, this guy can probably physically pull it up in mid-air...
With Ansius's assurance, Yumi felt a lot less psychological pressure.
It’s always good to have many skills… I never dared to think about learning to fly a flying vehicle before!
The lamb placed its trembling hoof on the control area and nervously began to operate according to Ansius' instructions.
"Good," Antheus' voice surrounded him, "look forward."
The lamb's movements became skillful in a short while. He kept telling himself in his mind that what he was driving was not a flying vehicle, but a three-wheeled vehicle. Of course, it could also be a tractor. Anyway, it was a very stable one.
On the wide lawn, a family of three who came for vacation sat down under a tree and chatted. At this time, the husband looked up inadvertently and saw a fast-moving aircraft high in the sky. This was nothing unusual, as there were usually people practicing flying private aircraft nearby. He was going to take the children to practice today, but the place was booked out in advance.
After a few seconds, the man's smile suddenly froze. What did he see... The one controlling the aircraft seemed to be a lamb? !
Impossible, the human form is the most convenient body to operate an aircraft. Most people would never fly an aircraft in their original form!
For a moment, he seemed to think he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes hard and put his hands down. The aircraft over there did several beautiful spins in the air like a fighter jet, followed by a sprint and soon stabilized.
Steady as an old dog!
At the same time, his son's voice reminded him that what he saw was not an illusion: "Wow, there is a little lamb flying a plane!"
“…”
On the aircraft, Yumi, who almost flew the aircraft into a fighter jet, felt his hooves sore. When Ansius took over the control of the aircraft, he took a few steps back and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
Anxius controlled the aircraft and fanned him with his wings: "Do you want to try again?"
No need, it’s useless to learn! The lamb lifted his hoof and wiped the sweat off his face.
