Chapter 24: A task for you

"Let's talk about something. Pannis squatted on the metal fence outside the mansion, stared at the silent street outside the wall, and whispered, "I won't pull your tail in the future, and you won't bite me every day, how about it?"

It was early the next morning, it was just dawning, there were no pedestrians on the street, Pannis, dressed in blue pajamas and a pink nightcap on his head, yawning and crouching on the fence, holding two Paz nuts in his hand, one in his mouth and clattering, and the other holding aside. Beside him, the white fox was clinging to his body, squatting steadily on the fence, yawning incessantly, and from time to time sticking out his head to nibble on the Pasguo in his hand, and the little one wagged his tail happily after a few bites, as if the Pasguo had an appetite for it. However, after listening to Pannis's suggestion, the little fox let out a low roar, twisted his head to the side vigorously, and slapped Pannis's calf with his tail in disdain, showing obvious refusal.

The little one's humanized expression made Pannis cry and laugh, and he tapped it on the head a few times with the back of his hand, stuffed all the remaining Pasi fruit into the little fox's mouth, wiped the juice on his hairy tail, and pointed to the entire Fox Street before the little fox exploded and said: "You are so smart, you should also understand, this place is different from the forest you live in, and the people here are also different from the elves and rangers you have seen before." Well, it seems that you understand, but in fact, in some aspects, there is not much difference, for example, the scope of this street, including the buildings on both sides, is the scope of your territory, well, you don't know what the street and buildings mean, it doesn't matter, I'll take you around in the next two days. In your territory, everyone knows your storage, you can move freely, but don't attack other creatures at will, as for the outside of the territory, it's not impossible to go in terms of your strength, but in order to avoid causing chaos, it's better to go less. ”

"Woohoo woo. The little fox had forgotten to be angry, holding his tail and using his tongue to clean the juice from his fur, he whimpered and nodded, and the tip of his black nose sniffed vigorously in the air, as if trying to remember the smell around him.

"Although you are only a monster, I know that your phantom fox's perception is higher than that of the girls inside, and the instinct of the beast makes you more sensitive to malice than them, so I have a task for you. Pannis touched the little fox's head and said seriously: "In the future, you will be a member of this family, and like those two maids, you will also protect this family in your own way, protect every member of the family, well, you know what I'm talking about." ”

The little fox blinked his big dark eyes, let go of his tail and nodded, as if he really understood Pannis's words.

"Very good, maybe bringing you back, is the right choice. Pannis showed a smile of relief, closed his eyes and listened to the surrounding sounds, and after confirming that the surroundings were still empty, he whispered: "Then, the safety of this home will be handed over to you in the future, when they are at home, you must protect their safety, and once you find a creature hostile to them approaching, notify them immediately." If they're not at home when they're out on a mission, you're going to have to protect it, and if anyone with malicious intentions breaks into it, you're going to trap them with illusions, and then you're going to notify the two girls you scared yesterday, okay?"

The little fox nodded again, but with a little doubt in his round eyes, he tilted his head to stare at Pannis's face, as if he couldn't figure anything out.

Pannis and the little guy looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly sighed deeply, smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the little fox and put it on his shoulder, and said softly: "I know what you're wondering about, but you'll know the reason soon, well, you'll know in a few days, so don't ask now, agree to my request first, okay?"

"Whew. As if sensing the loss and worry in Pannis's heart, the little guy rubbed his head against Pannis's face, stuck out his tongue and licked his face, comforting the other in his own way. In fact, this humanized fox will take the initiative to follow the girls out of the Lost Forest, at least half of it is because of Pannis's existence, the smart little guy senses the strength and friendliness of Pannis, and also knows that the girls will not hurt it, and following these people, there is no need to struggle for food and safety every day in the dangerous jungle, so they will be very reluctant to chase after everyone until they return to the capital of knowledge. During this period of time together, although the little guy bites and fights with Pannis every day, in fact, the relationship between the two fools is getting better and better, so when he finds that Pannis is unhappy, the little fox is very sensible and no longer frolic, but soothes each other's hearts.

"Footsteps", footsteps suddenly sounded from the end of Fox Street, and a figure ran from the morning mist with the liveliness and vigor of youth. Pannis scratched the little fox's chin and laughed in a low voice: "This child is here, little fox, this child is also a friend, and she often passes by in the morning, if you find that she is in trouble, try to help her if it is convenient." ”

"Ha, Uncle Youkai. The little girl saw the figure crouching on the fence from a distance, and with a surprised cry of surprise, she instinctively lowered her head to look for a stone or a branch for throwing. But apparently it was too late, Pannis took out a small bag from the pocket of his pajamas, threw it at the girl, and laughed loudly: "Stupid, it's too slow, this time it's me first." ”

"Woo, Uncle Youkai, you're fooling. The little girl quickly caught the pocket thrown by Pannis, crossed her waist and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, uncle, you wait, next time I will let you know how good I am." ”

"I'm so scared. Pannis teased: "No matter how fierce you are, be careful that your little friend will not dare to go to church with you in the future, and secretly go with others." ”

"He dare!" the little girl waved her fist, but suddenly reacted to what she said, her face instantly turned red, and she stammered: "Big, big, uncle, you are so annoying, what nonsense are you talking about." Huh, what is this? What a cute puppy. ”

"Roar!" the little fox let out a low roar of dissatisfaction, very dissatisfied with the little girl who confused herself with the dog, but the little girl obviously didn't know what mistake she had made, and still raised her hand happily and said, "Uncle Youkai, can you let me hug it?"

"It's not a dog, it's a very powerful little fox, it's very proud, and it's much older than you, and you should treat it like an adult. Pannis rubbed the little fox's head and said, "In the future, if Catherine and the others are not at home, and you encounter any danger, you can come here to ask it for help, it is very smart, and it can understand what you say." ”
