The Snow Leopard Baby of the Black Leopard Family

The group moved along, following Karl. Thanks to Karl’s knowledge of the land, they didn’t get lost along the way.

“So why did you fall and roll over earlier?”

Olivier pointed directly at the wounds on Karl’s body. Karl, feeling embarrassed, covered the scratches on his arm with his hand.

“It’s the same path I’ve taken many times, but I wasn’t being careful and ended up falling…”

Karl spoke in a small voice, almost inaudibly. Thanks to Tiel’s light illuminating the surroundings softly, Karl’s ears could be seen turning red.

Tiel’s fish, as though questioning why they were going in the opposite direction of where she had pointed, swirled around the group.

“I have something to do. Once this is done, I’ll go to the place you told me. Alright? So calm down, little good fish.”

Tiel spoke soothingly, and the fish stopped spinning and moved forward, lighting the way.

While they were moving, the knights occasionally showed signs of worry but didn’t say anything further.@@novelbin@@

The beastkin who lived in this land had always been seen as mysterious, unknown beings. It was certain that they were alive, but no one had ever really seen how they lived, so they had always been a mystery.

But now, hearing that they were in danger… as knights sworn to protect, it wasn’t something they could just ignore, especially as fellow beastkin.
