Volume 1 Chapter 54: Another One!

Keith didn't know what his mother was thinking about right now as he returned to the forest. He wasn't meeting Miyuki all the time.

He would hunt some animals before he went to meet her.

"These should be good for cooking." Keith nodded his head as he caught some chickens. They weren't ember chickens. But they looked tasty. He tossed them into his storage as he headed toward the campsite.

"Yuki!" Keith screamed, and Miyuki walked towards Keith. She nuzzled her head onto him. It was a unique scene for the two. Aria flew over and landed on Keith's shoulders, snuggling up to his face.

Aww. Keith could tell the owl was a little jealous. That caused Keith to pat Aria's head. But he couldn't get over it.

Keith was being nestled by two fluffy animals. So fluffy! Thank goodness I have two hands to pat them.

"Powo," Miyuki shouted.

"I know. How could I forget?" Keith brought out a bag,

"Here's your treat." He had been buying different vegetables for Miyuki to eat. And Miyuki loved all of them. While she ate, Keith was curious,

"What kind of food do you usually eat?" Keith was curious. He knew that Miyuki liked vegetables. But they couldn't eat that in the forest. There were wild plants and mushrooms. But there weren't things like carrots and onions.

"Hmm, do you like cooked vegetables?"

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Po?" Miyuki tilted her head.

"Like steamed potatoes. Do you want to try?" Keith tilted his head when he suggested. Miyuki nodded his head like a bobble!

Keith smiled as he took out a pot. He took some potatoes out and placed them on the steaming tray. Will she like it? Keith was curious as to how Miyuki would react.

"Alright. It's done steaming." Keith took the potatoes out of the pot. And when he did that, Miyuki looked excited to try.

She jumped up and down from the spot.

"Alright, Alright. Calm down. Here-" Keith was going to give the potato to Miyuki. But when he tried to hand it to her,

"Boo!"

A ferocious growl caused the entire forest to quake! Keith didn't know how to react. But the one who made the first move was Aria! She quickly flew and picked Keith up, moving him from his position!

"What's going on?!" Keith was too shocked by what happened. But when he turned his head, he saw it. What came and attacked him was another snowball. It stood in front of Miyuki as it stared daggers at Keith!

"Huh?"

"Booo!" The snowball roared again as it dashed toward Aria and Keith! It was quick and fierce! But Aria was faster as she moved Keith away from its attack.

But that attack had caused an entire tree to be knocked down!

Keith's eyes widened as he stared at the scene. He was so shocked by the force it had. And it seemed it was going to attack again. But Aria wasn't backing down,

"Kwakk!" She was ready to duke it out.

But before these two beasts could do it,

"Bowoo!" Miyuki roared and got between the two. The other snowball screamed out again. The two were communicating. It didn't take long before the other snowball stopped screaming.

It stared at Keith and Aria.

There was definitely caution in its eyes.

It slowly backed away from Miyuki. Miyuki turned back to Keith and nudged her head to Keith.

"It's fine. The snowball wanted to protect you." Keith understood. The reason why the snowball came and attacked him was because it thought he was attacking Miyuki.

"Bowo." Miyuki looked in the direction of where the other snowball went.

"You have to go?" Keith understood. He handed a bag to Miyuki,

"Take these with you."

"Booo." Miyuki shook her head.

But Keith patted her, "Take it. I brought it for you."

"Po." Miyuki nudged its head to Keith's body before she walked away from him.

There was a depressed expression as Keith stared at Miyuki leaving. Aria nudged his face and licked it,

"Thank you, Aria." Keith patted his head. That stopped him from being depressed somewhat.

"Let's go back home." There was no point in staying here any longer. Keith got up from the ground. He picked up the pots and other things that were dropped on the floor.

He took a deep sigh and walked away.
