Chapter 874
There were a lot of energetic children
“Recently, a lot of them grab my tail, which is quite troublesome…”
Ms. Delia said with a laugh. It was clear that she enjoyed playing with them.
Children could be like that. I remember that I used to have to warn them to be gentle when touching Leo’s tail.
“Well, while I don’t think Phillip can, I might go and have a look later on. It’s in the central plaza?”
“Yes, I’ll be waiting for you. I’m sure they will be happy as well!”
“Haha. They might be wary of a stranger. So you’ll have to introduce me.”
“I’m sure they won’t be frightened of someone like you… But I will do what I can then.”
I still did not feel comfortable moving, but I should be fine soon.
In the meantime, Nicholas brought some water for Phillip to drink.He had it pretty hard too…
In any case, I would do my best so that he could rest later, since it was my turn to prepare dinner.
“Oh, they sure are energetic.”
After I had rested enough, I went to see Ms. Delia and the children.
Several of them were chasing after Ms. Delia’s tail as she ran around.
But no matter how they pounced and came from different directions, she was always able to dodge them with ease.
“Hmm… It looks like it could be an effective way to train. Observe Ms. Delia and try to predict how she will move. And with some cooperation, capture the target..”
“Nicholas. Why are you always thinking about training?”
“You say that, but is that not very similar to how you train? When you are trying to hit Leo with your sword?”
“Ah… Well, I suppose it is quite similar.”
Now that he mentioned it, it was kind of similar to how Tilura and I trained, where we would see if we could hit Leo.
Of course, carefully coordinating our movements to try and strike something with a sword was not really the same as chasing a tail.
“Ah!”
“Hmm? They seem to have noticed us.”
“It looks like it… But why is she grabbing the children?”
I thought that she would run to us after we arrived, but instead, she began to grab the children and gather them together.
What was she going to do? I had a bad feeling about it…
“Alright now. All of you, charge at that man!”
“Ah, old man!”
“Charge!”
“Hey, wai…”
“Takumi, I’ll leave them to you… I will watch the area. It is my duty as a guard.”
“Hey, Nicholas… Ah!”
Ms. Delia had pointed at me and given the order.
And then about ten children came running towards me at top speed…
I tried to run after Nicholas, but the children quickly jumped on me, grabbing my legs so that I couldn’t move.
After that, Ms. Delia forced me to participate in their games.
“Hah…hah…phew…”
“Good work, Mr. Takumi.”
“Hah… They really seem to never run out of energy. Phew…”
I answered Ms. Delia while trying to catch my breath.
As Leo played with Tilura and Liza, as well as other children, I had known it…but it still surprised me.
Aside from being chased around, they also wanted me to pick them up, and I had to move with all of my strength from beginning to end.
Had I not been trained, I don’t know if I would have been able to survive that…
