Chapter 142: The Tiger Cub - Part 2

Shin was tired too after traveling for some time and decided to rest for a bit. Of course, he couldn't sleep at the moment because there were tons of things going on his mind, but he did stay still to ret for a few moments.

The tiger cub was just asleep for a long time because it hadn't had a wink of sleep for a long time.

Shin and Terran, both just sat beside her while trying to rest.

"Terran, sleep for a while, I will be on the watch.", was what Shin said.

Terran nodded his head because he was indeed sleepy as he could barely open his eyes.

'It's such a shame that a great dragon like me cannot beat the sleep!', he thought this again and again.

But oh well, it was interesting for him too because never in his life had he experienced such a strong wave of sleep.

Shin, who had a lot of sleepless nights earlier, in the previous life and in the current life too, had no problem at all.

After all, his body's fatigue vanished faster than others and he would feel refreshed earlier than anyone else.

Though, that didn't mean that he would never sleep. He too slept but at the moment there was no sign of sleepiness in him.

"Hmm, what should I do now?"

"Where will I find the witch?", Shin asked in a low voice to himself.

He looked here and there and found no predators nor preys. That was acceptable since his system had the repellant or warding effect activated all this time.

'Maybe the cub was wary of us because of that effect…', was what Shin concluded.

Otherwise, the cub actually had no other reason to attack him since he never attacked it first.

'When I used My All Seeing Eyes, I could see that there was beast, shivering inside the hut…'

'But I never knew that the beast would be such a young baby with insane powers…'

Terran was similar to an adult wolf, this meant that he was quite strong indeed.

Not to mention that his defense stats were specifically higher than any normal wolf.

Even he was blown away with just a single attack from the cub, which essentially showed how different a beast of tiger type would grow.

'Yes, I have to take her with me…', this was one thing which he had already decided upon.

Although his main mission was to find Aella and get revenge for Kira and Siara in Clan Wars, he didn't leave or throw away other things.

There was one more thing that concerned Shin – the killers.

'Who was it exactly that killed Kira and Siara?', he asked himself.

Until he found that out, he couldn't take a breath of peace.

Yes, he did hear from other beasts that it was the Biola clan and other beasts who killed Kira, but who were those other beasts?

That was his doubt.

'Were they his own brothers?', while this thought did cross his mind, he didn't give that much of importance thinking that it was just his imagination and nothing more.

'The being that killed Kira would have definitely been someone way too powerful…'

'Or perhaps, Kira would have been lured and got killed.', there were many possibilities, and thinking about those would just break his head.

'For now, I will focus on searching Aella…' – that was a good decision.

Concentrating on one goal would definitely yield better results and that was what Shin thought of doing now.

Yes, he would help others, but not at the cost of losing Aella.

Soon it was morning, Terran woke up due to the sunlight which shined right on his face.

The trees were surely covering most of the sunlight, however, some of it definitely flashed from other areas.

"Master…?", the moment he woke up, the first thing he did was call out to Shin.

The reason was simple, Shin was sitting right next to him.

"Oh, you are awake Terran?", Shin asked with a smile.

'Wow, what a way to start the day…'

Terran was happy because starting a day from seeing someone's smile is the best thing that can happen.

He too smiled and said, "Yes master…"

*yawn*

The reply was followed by his yawning because he was a bit tired after all.

The cub slowly started to move too. It moved from one side to the other as if it was rolling on the soft grass.

In the end, she collided with Shin who was sitting near the hut, a bit away from her.

*bam*

The collision wasn't that strong or huge, just that she ended up striking something which ended up waking her up.

*blink blink*

She opened her eyes slowly right after which she saw Shin's face.

It was as if she was lying on Shin's lap but that was not the case, she was just beside her.

The dark shadow on Shin's face scared her.

"You!"

She jumped all of a sudden right after standing up instantly and got a little away from Shin.

"Who are you!?", she raised her cute voice and asked this.

Although Shin was confused with the fact that the cub had already forgotten about the ones whom she had attacked, he soon realized that it was dark due to which she probably hadn't gotten a chance to look at them properly.

"Me?"

"…"

"I'm just a friend.", was what Shin said.

The moment he said that she was reminded of something she had heard yesterday, just before actually falling asleep - "I am your friend."

"That's-"

She recalled everything perfectly because not only could she recognize his voice, but also could recognize what he said since they matched exactly.

"So you were the one whom I attacked yesterday?", she asked.

Shin nodded his head with a burst of laughter.

Although the situation wasn't that serious, the cub had a stern expression as if she was thinking about something.

'I wonder what she would say next?'

'Would she apologize, or ask us to pay fine for attacking her…', Shin smiled.

"…"

To be continued…
