Chapter 253
Returning to the home country?
Today, we are finally returning to Guardia .
“You haven’t forgotten anything, did you?”
“”Nope!””
The children replied while raising their hands .
We spent the three days of free time in the dungeon and had our last supper in Creta with Rain-sama and Cloud-sama .
I did not forget to transfer the recipes for the children’s plate, including the hamburger and curry… I don’t think we have forgotten anything .
“Gyau . ”
“Guru . ”
Cloud-sama and Rain-sama were seeing us off, but when we tried to get on Charo’s back, we encountered a problem . Charo with the other wyverns and the gryphons were glaring at each other .
“It looks like they don’t like the idea of you guys leaving, Tak.u.mi . ”
“I heard the reports that the gryphons were quite attached to you, but I did not think it was to this extent . ”
Cloud-sama’s expression’s seemed slightly unimpressed, but Rain-sama looked a bit surprised .
“Tak.u.mi, please go calm them down . ”
Austin-sama proposed absurdly as he looked at me with an enlightened expression .
“By the way, wich side . ”
“Both, of course . ”
Austin-sama said with a smile .
“You are telling me to go over there?”
“Yeah . It will be fine, you will manage, Tak.u.mi . ”
Charo and the individual who seemed to be the top dog among the gryphons were staring at each other as if a fight was about to break out .
“They are still keeping distance, but it looks like a matter of time before they go all out?”
“And that is why . A fight between wyverns and gryphons would cause great damage . I would like to avoid the castle from collapsing and people from dying . ”
“……”
I choked on my words at an unbelievable situation .
If the wyverns and gryphons start fighting, not just the castle, but the city is likely to be damaged .
“… I got it . ”
I gave up and went to pacify Charo and others . It’s because Charo was trying to bring us home, but the gryphons didn’t want to part with us .
“Fighting~”
“Is not good~”
“”Bad!””
While thinking how to pacify them… the twins who came with me to Charo’s side put their hands on their hips and started lecturing them . It was a very cute lecturing .
“… Gyau . ”
“… Guru . ”
But, the effect was superb . Even though they seemed to be in a critical stage a moment ago, Charo and others got obedient… they seemed to be dejected .
“”Onii~chan, is this fine~?””
When Allen and Elena confirmed that Charo and others got obedient, they turned towards me——and tilted their heads .
“Ah, yes, perfect . ”
“”Yay♪””
I applauded reflexively .
Who would have thought that things would be settled so smoothly? The people who were watching breathless, wondering what was going to happen, were also stunned .
“”There, there~””
“Let’s get . ”
“Along~”
“Gyau, gyau~”
“Guru, gururu~”
Unaware of the fact that the people around them were in such a state, Allen and Elena were petting Charo and the others who were snuggling up to them while making indulgent squeals .
The tense air suddenly relaxed and the mood got harmonious . Well, that’s just the kids as everyone around them was still in turmoil .
“Have you calmed down?”
I went over to the kids and started by patting Charo and then the gryphon .
“I’m sorry . We cannot stay here forever . ”
“… Guru . ”
The gryphon was smart enough to understand my words well and looked a little depressed .
“Guru, gururu . ”
“N?”
“”Huh~?””
“What happened all of sudden? That way is… the Beast stables?”
The gryphon, who was depressed for a moment, suddenly seemed to recall something and flew towards the Beast stables .
“Err… Austin-sama, could you wait for a little longer? Or you can leave without us first . ”
“It’s fine . I’m also curious about the gryphons actions, so we will wait for you . ”
I thought we would be causing inconvenience to Austin-sama if it took too long, so I proposed him to go ahead .
However, Austin-sama seemed to be curious about the gryphon’s actions, so he decided to wait .
“”He’s back~””
“Oh, you are right . ”
After waiting for a while, the gryphon returned .
“Gururu . ”
When the gryphon was in front of me, he dropped down a white sphere he was holding in his forelegs . When I held out my hands reflexively, I was already holding the white sphere in my hands .
“”An egg!””
“Haah!? E, egg!? Eh, wait a moment! I don’t need to guess, but isn’t this your child!?”
“Guru . ”
The egg was about the size of my head and it seems to have been warmed just a little while ago as it was still warm .
“Why did you give it to me!?”
The gryphon landed and pushed the egg with its head .
It didn’t seem like he was simply caressing the egg .
“”We can take it~?””
“Guru!”
The gryphon replied to Allen and Elena’s innocent words .
“No, seriously . Please wait a moment . Allen, Elena, you guys too . Things aren’t this simple! You don’t reply so readily either, gryphon!”
We cannot take a gryphon egg belonging to Creta without permission . Even if the parent gryphon says it’s fine .
“Rain-sama, Cloud-sama, please stop the gryphon . No matter how you look at it, this is not something we can agree to, right!?”
“… I wonder about that?”
“No… I don’t think we can say that we don’t agree, no?”
First of all, I tried talking to the owners? guardians? superiors? of the gryphons, so I spoke to the princes . However, they only returned vague words .
“Austin-sama too, please say something!”
“… Well~ I couldn’t find any words because this was beyond my expectations . Tak.u.mi, you have received quite the impressive present . ”
“I have not accepted it yet, alright!?”
I tried to ask Austin-sama for help, but he didn’t seem like he would help me . On the contrary, he looked mischievous .
“Eh~ seriously, what should I do about this…”
When I really didn’t know what to do about this situation anymore, Rain-sama spoke to me .
“Tak.u.mi-dono, I’ve sent for our father, so could you wait for a moment, please?”
“… Yes, thank you very much . ”
It seemed that this event was too difficult even for Rain-sama and Cloud-sama to determine, so they hastily sent someone to run for Maynard-sama to make a decision .
