(MC POV)
"What are you doing here, Akari?" I asked after the red fox had returned to her fox just so that she could hang on my shoulder to cuddle my face.
"Ehehe~ We got some newcomers the last few weeks and a few of them need Divine energy to grow. This one in particular seems to have been born here and needs to absorb the energy here periodically."
I blinked at her a few times, turning to see Cai Hong riding on the Qilin's back with Iris while the beast strutted about the clearing to give them a ride like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"This Qilin was… Born here?"
"At least that's what we understood. It's still a baby so someone needs to accompany it here and today just so happens to be me~ I'm so lucky that Master is also here! Sister is going to be so jealous~"
"I'm more concerned that no one is even questioning that this mythical creature just popped into existence in my backyard…"
