Chapter 473 - I Wish I Had Kept One Sooner

Fourth Day of the Six Kings Festival. Its currently 5:00 am and I have about four hours before I meet up with Dr. Vier and Neun-san.

Waking up early in the morning, I used my Teleportation magic tool to return back to Lilia-sans house. The reason was

[Come now, Bell. Dont move Lynn, thanks for the help.]

[Gaoo!]

[Kyuui!]

Yes, it was to bring my pets, Bell and Lynn, to the Six Kings Festival. This is because pets are allowed on the fourth day of the Six Kings Festival.

The festival was hosted by Magnawell-san and it was apparently about Interacting with Monsters.

Thats why I came back to pick them up, and while Im at it, I came early to brush Bells fur.

While I was at the Six Kings Festival, I asked the servants I was close with to take care of Bell and Lynn. So, theyre obviously brus.h.i.+ng them every day, but I still want to do it myself.

The key to brus.h.i.+ng Bell well is to use several brushes needed for each area and to thoroughly wash his whole body.

First, use a coa.r.s.e brush to remove the dirt from between his bristles, and then wash his entire body. Use a shampoo for monsters that contain a special blend of several ingredients, and wash thoroughly, down to the smallest detail, so that it would be silky smooth when it dries.

Then, after drying his fur with a wind-generating magic tool, I used a fine brush to arrange everything. The important thing here is to brush his fur when theyre slightly damp, not when its completely dry. Otherwise, strange curls would keep popping out.

[Kuuu]

Bell seemed to love my brus.h.i.+ng, as he looked very comfortable, making spoiled purrs, which was very cute.

Perhaps because he is a Behemoth, one of the most powerful High-ranking monsters in the world, Bell has a lot of pride. Even though he is friendly to the people in the mansion, partly because I tell him so, but the only ones Ive seen him act spoiled around Sieg-san and I.

[Alright, finished! Well then, Im gonna dry you off now, so sit still.]

[Gao!]

As I was thinking about random things, I finished brus.h.i.+ng Bell and let his whole body completely dry off. Bells silky fur is something that Im secretly proud of.

I wonder if there are any hair mask made for monsters? If there is, Id certainly like to have them I would like to add some finis.h.i.+ng touches on Bells fur, to give them a bit more s.h.i.+ne. I would also like a finer brush, so that I can brush his fur for the third time, giving his fur a more beautiful finish than they are now.

I really feel like when it comes to Bells fur, theres still room for improvement.

[Well then, lets go to the Six Kings Festival.]

[Kyuuu!]

[Unnn? Wait, Lynn? Whats the matter?]

[Kyuii! Kyukuiii!]

As I finished brus.h.i.+ng and was about to lead them to the Six Kings Festival, Lynn suddenly snuck into my clothes.

Lynn then wriggled around in my clothes, before only her head out from my chest, looking satisfied.

Shes more pampered than usual I guess she was lonely because I was only taking care of Bell.

Not pulling Lynn out of my clothes, which she had completely crawled into, I gave her a pat on her head with a smile before activating my Teleportation Magic tool.

When I arrived at the festival venue, I could see people with their pets here and there.

It was now 7:00 am, and we still had about two hours before meeting up with Dr. Vier and Neun-san.

As I was thinking that it might be a good idea to take a stroll around the area since Bell and Lynn were curiously looking around, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

[Oya? If it isnt Miyama-sama. Good morning.]

[Chris-san? Good morning.]

Looking back towards the direction of the voice, I saw Chris-san, dressed in a mans suit. She looked like a crossdressing beauty just as usual, though at a quick glance, one might mistake her as a normal, slender, prince-like young man.

Behind Chris-san, there was a black horse and it was about twice as big compared to usual horses.

[Is that horse (?) your pet, Chris-san?]

[Yes, I enjoy riding horses, and this is my favorite horse, Nirva a monster of the Grateful Horse species.]

Chris-san lightly introduced her favorite horse, then turned to Bell, who was with me, and smiled.

[Miyama-sama has a White Dragon and a Behemoth Both of which are High-ranking Demons, arent they? As expected of Miyama-sama. I think Ive seen this Behemoth with you before but isnt his fur more magnificent than back then? He looks lovely.]

[Isnt he!!!?]

[Eh? Wha!? M- Miyama-sama!?]

As expected of an Emperor, it seems like Chris-san has a keen eye for great things.

[Please look here, isnt he silky smooth? Ive been brus.h.i.+ng him with a lot of care, you know!?]

[Y- Youre right U- Ummm, youre too close You surprised me a bit]

[Look here, his fur around this area really curls up a bit, so I need a special brush to get them nice and neat!]

[Hyahh!? W- Why are you touching my shoulder!? P- Please wait for a moment Well, I did speak to you with an ulterior motive in mind but this was so unexpected]

[Isnt his horns beautiful too? With Bells horns being black, dirt would really stand out from it. So, I make sure to wipe them at least twice]

[Ummm, are you listening to me? Im the type who is rather susceptible to surprise attacks so this feels very embarra.s.sing]

[Im also very particular with the shampoo Im using]

[Youre not listening huh. Yes, I understand Ill make sure not to Miyama-sama about your pets Ill thoroughly remember that. Wait, like I said, your face is too close!]

I feel so happy that she praised Bell, my pride and joy, that I talked about him and Lynn to Chris-san for over an hour.

Dear Mom, Dad- I felt really glad to hear someone praise my cute pet, making me feel very enthusiastic. Ive never had a pet back in my previous world, but if Id known that theyre so cute I wish I had kept one sooner.

? ? ? : [Since Serious-senpai doesnt know how to surf in the waves of sweetness, its now my turn! I Alice-chan has been through something like this, so make sure that you dont talk to Kaito-san about his pets, okay? Hes a very overly fond parent, so he would end up talking about them for hours.]
