I noticed in chapter 346 … I used “Strimt” 斯特林姆(Sī tè lín mǔ ) —> Now is Stalim
The morning’s farce ended with Shien feeling somewhat unsettled.
A while later, as the fox-girl saintess hid behind Lasha, sitting at the table with Shien and Beatrice, the atmosphere became more serious.
Shien looked at the fox-girl saintess, who was hiding behind Lasha and completely avoiding his gaze. He said with a hint of annoyance,
“Alright, it was just a joke. Was it really that bad?”
Shien tried to downplay it.
But the fox-girl saintess didn’t believe him.
“Y-your expression and eyes were full of malice just now! I don’t believe you!”
The fox-girl saintess peeked out from behind Lasha, mustering her courage to retort before quickly hiding again.
“Heh.” Shien chuckled coldly. “If I really wanted to eat you, do you think you would have survived the night?”
Although “eating” in this context might not be literal, Shien had a point.
If he really wanted to do something, he could have taken advantage of the fox-girl saintess last night.
Thinking about that possibility, and remembering that her clothes had been changed, the fox-girl saintess trembled again.
At this moment, Lasha spoke.
“I changed your clothes. Don’t worry.”
Lasha said calmly, as if she could see through the fox-girl saintess’s thoughts.
“Big Sister~~~”
The fox-girl saintess, as if redeemed, beamed and hugged Lasha tightly to express her gratitude.
Shien’s lips twitched.
Had this little fox really been tamed by Lasha just like that?
Wasn’t this a bit too dramatic?
Maybe Lasha was the true protagonist of this story?
“Big Sister is a Maid”?
“Side Character Protagonist is an Otherworldly Hero”?
“My Otherworldly Journey is Not the Main Plot”?
…Why did it feel so real!?
Shien almost questioned his existence.
Lasha, on the other hand, didn’t react at all to the fox-girl saintess’s actions. She simply said,
“The guest’s breakfast is ready.”
Lasha didn’t neglect the fact that the other party was a guest, despite her attitude towards her.
Lasha then brought out a breakfast from somewhere and placed it in front of the fox-girl saintess.
“Grumble~~~”
The fox-girl saintess’s stomach let out a cute little sound.
“…!”
The girl quickly covered her stomach, her face turning bright red.
“Pfft!”
Shien couldn’t help but laugh.
“D-don’t laugh! How rude!”
The fox-girl saintess yelled, her face flushed, unsure if she was angry or embarrassed.
“Please enjoy.”
Lasha remained unfazed, prompting the fox-girl saintess to sit down hesitantly. She kept glancing at the breakfast in front of her, wanting to eat but also hesitant, stealing glances at Shien and looking like she wanted to say something.
“What?” Shien rolled his eyes. “Do you want me to feed you?”
“Who wants you to feed me!?” The fox-girl saintess got angry and grabbed the utensils, starting to eat.
While eating, her expression was still complicated.
“I didn’t expect my first time dining with others would be under such circumstances, but the food Big Sister made is so delicious…”
The fox-girl saintess seemed deeply moved, unsure if she was happy or resentful.
Shien didn’t know that this saintess was having her first meal with others, so he had no idea how complex her emotions were.
He simply looked at the fox-girl, who was eating Lasha’s breakfast in small bites, seemingly unable to stop, and suddenly remembered something.
“Right, I still don’t know your name.”
Shien asked.
