Chapter 684 Masochistic Group
"That asslicker grass is swallowed by blackie." replied Anna
"Blackie? So, where is she now?" asked Angus.
Just before Anna wants to reply, a tendril of shadow holding a letter emerges from her shadow.
"Hmm… This is for Dad. Daddy, you got a letter from Blackie." exclaimed Anna as she gave the letter to him.
Angus only frowned at this before opening and reading the letter. As he read the letter, Angus could only become speechless at the content.
Dear Mr. Angus and his little family,
First, I want to congratulate you for coming back alive and preventing our kind from getting hunted in the cruelest possible way.
Second, I happened to get a disgusting trash elf recently. For once, I never see someone so gross as this 'thing'. Even my most disgusting slave is better than it. It is inappropriate for Queenie and your family to have 'it' as a slave.
Hence, I will do my best to 'refurbish' this thing as a token of apology for not being able to see Queenie before.
Lastly, Mr. Angus also didn't need to worry about dwarf smithing tools and this... 'thing' property. I already handled them and will send them to your inn within three to four days, along with the 'refurbished' trash. - Your Sincerely, Mr Alphonso Nouveau Super Hyper Richee.
'Yup, another troublesome person.' thought Angus inwardly.
"Still, this shadow ability is very convenient. It could help you transfer things anywhere in real-time. I remember DJ Mike was also brought by Renault through shadow ability before, despite being inside a secret dimension." said Angus.
"Ohh… That's Blackie. Blackie is usually shy but capable of doing anything. Blackie also knows a lot of things. Blackie even knows when someone is pooping or not." chimed Anna while being hugged by Jayna.
After the previous incident, the two girls never let each other go and stuck together like glue. Angus didn't mind it since they were just going through a huge emotional struggle.
"Emm… Anna feels like forgetting something." exclaimed Anna while looking at the surroundings.
Then, she looks intensely at the burning Mini Porky, which has already turned into charred meat.
"Anna?" called Angus in worry about her being sad.
"Ahh… Where is Mira?" said Anna.
"Err.. Mira? Now you said that I didn't see Master Mira when I woke up. Did she go somewhere?" asked Angus back.
"How did Anna know? Anna is waiting for Dad and Mom to wake up. Anna is too busy." replied Anna while getting a gentle head pat from Jayna.
In return, the little monster enjoys being spoiled by Jayna. When Jayna stops patting her, Anna grabs Jayna's hand to continue patting her. Seeing her adorable behavior, Angus couldn't help but smile.
"Well, she is probably doing something important or returning to her kingdom. Anyway, let's head back first. It is already quite late." said Angus as he dragged them out of the burning dimension.
"Ehh… Mira leaves. Why didn't Dad say it before? Anna still has not yet given a farewell to Mira. Dumb Daddy." said Anna while pouting.
"This naughty girl…" said Angus but didn't do anything to her as Anna was still getting spoiled by Jayna.
By the time Angus and the others leave the tree shop house, it is already late. The empty street is also illuminated by the magical lamp. Unlike yesterday, the whole area is abandoned and lacks people.
Angus wasn't surprised at this scene since he knew more people would leave this place as time passed. As long as they could pay for the service to get out of here, people will do it after they finish with whatever business they have in this place.
Just as they walk towards the train station, Angus notices a familiar presence on the boundary of his [Mana Echolocation], which is dozens of kilometers away. Without saying anything, Angus immediately carries Anna and Jayna away while entering the train station in a hurry.
Angus also covered them with some isolation barrier and sprouted water at their initial surroundings.
Jayna was surprised at this sudden movement but didn't say anything as Angus explained the reason through their bond at the next moment. On the other hand, Anna just enjoys the high-speed ride happily.
"Yay!! Faster! Faster!!" exclaimed the naughty troublemaker.
Arriving at the station, Angus immediately sits in the corner. He applies a more powerful isolation barrier while they are waiting for the train.
"Huft… I hope she didn't notice our smell." said Angus.
"Hmph… That cat woman is a seducer. You should just kill her last time." chimed Jayna.
"What is a seducer? Is it delicious?" asked Anna innocently.
"No, Anna. It is just.. A person. Well, tell that to Aunt Extalia, who stops me at that time. Besides, how would I know she is the devoted follower of this stupid beastman custom. Offering their life to those that beat them. Sounds like a bunch of masochist groups." said Angus.
"Right. What a vulgar woman. Trying to seduce and snatch other people's lovers." said Jayna.
"Well, sorry for being part of a masochist group." a voice suddenly heard near them.
Angus immediately turns around and finds a female cat beastman standing not far from them.
'We couldn't notice her presence until a moment ago!!' thought Angus and Jayna in vigilance.
"Don't be so anxious. Even if I wanted to, I could never hurt you. As for the marriage part, I also couldn't help it. It is already ingrained in me and part of my nature. As a beastman, we always follow our own nature and instinct." said Merra, the daughter of Warchief Might.
"Ahh… Isn't that Dad's mist….Mmmphhffpp." said Anna before Angus stopped her from speaking more ridiculous things.
"How did you sneak on us?" asked Angus, trying to divert the topic.
"Beastman are the best people when it comes to sneaking around. It is already our nature to hide from predators or lay an ambush." replied Merra truthfully.
Angus and Jayna didn't expect the other party to reply to Angus' casual question truthfully. They are also surprised at Merra's attitude.
"Why are you so…" asked Jayna curiously.
"Obedient?" continued Merra.
"Yes." replied Jayna.
"As I said, Beastman is always in tune with our nature and instinct. Your.. Lover there. Subdued my nature and me during our last encounter. Basically, my life is.. his. Even now, I am barely able to control myself to please.. Him." said Merra before shaking her head.
"Although it is almost impossible for a beastman to be subdued at this level, it has never happened before."
"According to my recent research, I will be stuck in this condition for the rest of my life. Normally, it would be devastating for me. But, somehow, I find it great." said Merra with uncertainty.
Angus and Jayna look at each for a moment before nodding at each other.
"You said your name is Merra, right?" asked Angus.
"Y-Yes… My name is Merra Napollo, the daughter of Warchief Might Napollo. Age 38 this year. Blood type is Beast Z+. My star should be…" said Merra in detail.
"Alright… Stop! Stop it!! I don't need the detail." said Angus.
"B-But… I hear humans pay attention to the person's background when they are in a relationship with someone." said Merra. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
"Urgh… Forget about it. What happened last time is truly an accident. You know I really want to kill you at that time. I know it is just something that already happened and truthfully, I don't care about this masochistic culture." said Angus.
"However, if you dared to harm my family and loved one even with only a single hair, death is the last thing you will think of." added Angus coldly.
*Swish* During this time, their train to sector six also arrives. Angus and the others said nothing before entering the train. They left the stunned Merra on her own. In contrast, Merra is trembling with a messy mind.
Hearing Angus' cold tone reminds her of the death experience she felt during their last encounter. Anxious, Fear, Reverence, and even Euphoria emotions clouded her mind.
If not for her strict discipline and training, she may outburst and do something shameful at her exact spot. Now, she is sure. Angus completely subdued her. She knows she will always regard him as her God and will do anything to please him, even at the cost of her misery.
Fortunately, Angus and the others had already left her and boarded the train. Otherwise, he didn't know how to handle such a person. It is not like he has never met a masochist like her before.
In fact, few martial arts in his past life often develop masochistic tendencies because of their harsh training. However, no one will go as extreme as Merra.
Moreover, Angus also didn't feel comfortable with this type of person. In his mind, these people are troublesome people that should be avoided at all costs.
Arriving at sector six, Angus and the others immediately return to their inn to rest. Today, they experience a lot of stuff. Still, it is also quite rewarding for them.
Their bond as a family became stronger than before. Although it is only part of it, Angus also learns a few things about heritage chi.
'At least I no longer fear using Heritage Chi.' thought Angus inwardly while lying on the bed with Jayna and Anna.
