Volume 7 Chapter 27: Welcome Bei
What a sad ending. He pitied the princess. But he also understood why she had to do this as well. Do you sacrifice everything for the one you truly love? Or do you have the blood of millions on your hands?
Keith slowly began to drift off; the swaying motions tired him. It didn't take long as he fell asleep. As he did, the cocoon started to wiggle!
Before long, it cracked. Slowly, a small bee came out of it. Her head glanced around, wondering where she was. She was confused and happy at the same time. The place where she was born was nice. There was a warm smell and a rich amount of plants. She floated around, looking at everything before spotting a living being.
The person who was sleeping on a leaf. That one look was enough for the bee to understand: master. She slowly floated onto the boy's body and fell asleep.
Slowly, a light green flashed on his body.
...
"Ngeh." A groan came out of his mouth as he slowly woke up. Did I fall asleep? The only thing he could see was words on his face. He had fallen asleep with the book. But who could blame him? It was a nice feeling; the breeze and the gentle sway helped. Taking the book off his face,
"?" Keith blinked briefly before sighing, "Why are you guys staring at me?" What he saw was Cadmus and the others looking down at him.
Did they all arrive at the same time? Either way, it was quite an awkward stare. All of them cornered him like an animal.
"Before we answer, you should look down at your chest." "Huh?" Keith looked down and saw something on his chest. He blurted,
"It hatched?!"
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"Bzz." The dragon bee queen slowly woke up. She noticed her master was awake and slowly floated over to his face. Without any hesitation, she nudged it.
"Aww, when did you hatch?"
"Bzz." "When I was sleeping." Keith paused, "Wait a minute, did I form a contract with you?" He was able to understand her. That could only mean one thing.
"Bzz." Keith glanced down and noticed the emblem on his forearm.
"Oh, wow." Keith laughed as he patted the bee. So adorable.
"I have a name for you as well. How about Bei?"
"Bzz." Bei liked the name as she floated around him.
"This here is Fira and Aria. I also have other familiars. They're going to come later. Play nice with one another."
"Hello," "Hoo." The two greeted the bee into the family.
"You made another interesting familiar." Cadmus let out a chuckle. Keith had many interesting familiars; Samui, a blizzard owl, a nature spirit, and a dragon bee queen.
"Yeah," Keith laughed.
"Besides that, we shouldn't forget about this," Besides the dragon bee queen, there was something else they needed to discuss.
"No fair, Keith!" Now that they had time, Fira's expression changed. The others were the same.
"Kinda unfair for you to do this." The others shook their heads.
Cadmus questioned, "What did you make this time?" Everyone returned to the island to see this guy relaxing. He had built it himself.
"Hammock."
"What's a hammock?"
"Basically, a rocking chair lifted in the air. Want to try?" Keith took the drink from the shelf.
"..." The others stared at him. He was so relaxed and comfortable.
"Of course!" Cadmus didn't need to say no. Keith got up from the thing and let him on. The moment Cadmus did, his eyes widened before a content expression formed, "So comfy."
"Eh?" The others stared at him, "I feel so sleepy when it sways."
"Principal, we want to try as well!" They couldn't let him get tired from this! He would definitely not let go! One by one, they get on, wanting to test.
Keith took a big yawn, "Bei, I'll show you around the mansion. This is going to be your new home starting today."
"Bzz." Bei floated around, following after him.
...
Today's meal was a big one. It was to celebrate a new person entering the island. Cadmus, Herrick, and Melor ate. Those three were no-brainers.
Keith learned a lot about the dragon bee queen. She liked to drink milk.
After they went to bed, Keith's familiars were sleeping with him. However, there was one who wasn't sleeping. Bei was looking out of the window, ready to leave.
"Hoo," There was no animal who wasn't sleeping.
"Bzz," Bei replied. After some time, Bei left through the window.
