Kiro gets up and walks takes a walk around .
"I thought staying in bed for all day would be relaxing ,
Even though he was wounded he simply didn't feel pain .
"Vallerie did a great work with these bandages"
Kiro then heads to the living room . He sits carefully so he doesn't make the wound in his back any worse . He stretches his body and rests his legs on a chair . The door opens , Vallerie comes in , looking tired , she yawns and then she turns her head just to see Kiro doing just fine .
-What do you think you're doing ?! You still haven't recovered !
-I feel just fine.
-You should go to bed right now .
"Does she think I'm a child ?"
-Breakfast is ready .
Kiro heads outside and is confronted by Luchia , holding two plates as she was headed to Kiro's bedroom .
-What are you doing out of your bed ?
Kiro heads towards the dining room and says:
-I'm feeling a lot better now , can we just go the dining room and eat breakfast ?
-Are you serious ? I saw your wounds yesterday , It's impossible to recover in such short time !
- Not for me .
Kiro enters the dining room and takes a seat , so does Vallerie .Luchia serves the food and takes a seat as well .
-Luchia , you forgot the honey .
Vallerie stands up and says .
-Don't worry , I will get it .
Vallerie leaves the dining room , as Kiro and Luchia sit waiting. Luchia notices that Kiro had removed the bandages on his shoulder . To her surprise , the wound had healed .
-How.....how did you do that ?
-Do what ?
-The wound on your shoulder , how did it heal so fast ?
-I don't know , at least it didn't stick on me for long .
-It's still so bizarre .
"The last thing I want her to know is that I have a live devouring demon sealed in me ."
Vallerie comes back with the honey .
-Well , now we can eat .
Kiro pours milk on the pancakes and stars eating them .
"It tastes just like home ."
After a while Kiro finishes and says :
-I'm going to take a stroll , I will be here soon .
-You must be joking , there is no way I'm letting you out Kiro !
-As you say , Time leap
The time slows down , Kiro walks away from the dining table and heads to the forest . The time goes back to normal . Kiro leaves thought the front gate and then he enters the forest :
"I should take a walk , and maybe visit the lake , some good training would get me back to shape "
Kiro continues his way to the lake . After a while he could hear the waterfall from a distance .
-Finally I'm here .
Kiro reaches the lake , he starts taking off his clothes and he notices he had forgotten his coat .
"If it weren't for Luchia I would still have my coat "
Kiro ties a big rock with his leg using vines . He pushes the rock on the lake , the rock drags him in.
Kiro sinks deeper and deeper into the lake . He sinks until sun light wasn't visible at all .
"All right I guess this is enough "
Kiro starts swimming back to the surface while having the rock tied to his leg . He swims and swims , trying to reach the surface .
"I'm running out of air , I should hurry "
Kiro starts to swim faster , until he reaches the surface . He cuts off the rock and lies on the surface. His body feels a lot lighter , and he could breath a lot easier than before entering the lake .
"Now my bandages are wet , I should let them dry in the sun ."
Kiro starts taking off the unnecessary bandages , keeping only the one covering his wound in the back .
"Now's better"
Kiro waits until he bandages are dry . After a while , Kiro gets up and starts dressing up . He leaves the lake and heads to the Mansion . In his way he hears the leaves rustling .
-Bloodlust
Kiro sees a big black wolf hiding behind a bush . Then It reveals itself . The wolf starts growling and slowly approaches Kiro . Kiro reaches for his sword and draws it .
"I'll slice it into ribbons as soon as it comes close enough ."
The wolf continues to approach Kiro until it suddenly stops growling . It's face expresses fear now rather than dominance . It lowers it's head towards Kiro and starts whining like a little puppy .
"It's not attacking me , wait , This must be the ability that Esgrieth was talking about , there is no other explanation . "
Kiro tries to test his new ability on the wolf .
"I wonder can It do as I say , would it stand on two feet if I told it so "
The wolf raises it's body in an rather uncomfortable position , so it could stand on two feet .
"I see , so I can command this wolf to do as I wish , without even saying a word . It looks like it's struggling to keep my order "
Kiro thinks about the wolf sitting down . So does the wolf .
"So I can use it as I want , against of it's own will "
"Stand"
The wolf gets back on it's feet as it continued whining .
Kiro gives it a cold stare in the eyes , then the wolf finally stops whining .
"Stupid animal , begone !"
The wolf runs as fast as it could to flee from Kiro .
"So all in all , This ability allows me to control animals against their own will , That wolf proved it all , I wonder if it works on beast men too ."
Kiro finally arrives at the mansion . He enters and sees Luchia and Vallerie , sitting , waiting of Kiro impatiently .
-What's up
-You worried us sick ! Where were you
-You still haven't recovered!
-What were you thinking ?
-I told you I was going to take a stroll , just a peaceful slow walk , now would you please make me a cup of tea .
-As you wish , but never do this again , We were so worried .
-I'll try , I guess
Vallerie heads to the kitchen , to prepare the tea , while Luchia leaves the living room to continue her work .
-Finally , peace and quiet .
