"Baaa!" The little wooly that Gaius had just seen let out a loud bleat at him, it seemed like it was angry for some reason, but Gaius just looked at it with a bit of curiosity.
"You shouldn't be in the town, better go back to the forest and enjoy the calm of the place... Although avoid getting into territorial fights with other monsters, I don't want to belittle you, but I don't think your fists will do much damage." The scene was quite peculiar, Gaius was seriously advising the little wooly on how to survive outside while the latter seemed to listen attentively. "And you shouldn't put aside the idea of forming a group with other monsters when the enemy is strong, all that remains is to overwhelm them with numbers… But it doesn't always work…"
Gaius was quite serious, he thought of something else to say to the wooly since he appreciated that it had listened to him up to that moment. Gaius was also a bit curious about that wooly since anyone would notice that it was quite different from those who normally appeared in the world.
This wooly had a golden wool completely enveloping it, a kind of hat remained on its head while a blue scarf was wrapped around its neck, and a red belt was fastened around its waist despite not wearing any kind of pants… And of course, that wooly was Blake.
"Baaaa!!" A new bleating had been heard in the room and Gaius thought that the wooly not far from him was thanking him for everything, but it wasn't long before he understood what it was.
"So that was it..." A simple yawn escaped Gaius's mouth. 'I guess it won't hurt to get some sleep.'
And sure enough, it wasn't long before Gaius fell completely asleep… Although that did sound a bit strange since all this time he was still lying on the floor of the smithy.
That was the scene that anyone who entered would be able to see, but on top of that, the little wooly began to be surrounded by various runes and glowed a bit before Blake's figure in his human form could be seen.
"Sigh... It took me longer than I thought." Blake was happy that everything turned out as he wanted, although he made a note of it so as not to risk it in the future.
As Gaius continued to speak, Blake was letting out little bleats from time to time with the sole purpose of making Gaius fall asleep. He was waiting for the same ability that the huge wooly had used from the festival to take effect, and he was at least glad to know that he could use it too.
Without wasting much time, Blake had taken Gaius's body and put it on his shoulder to carry it, he was also surprised at how light he was, but that only occupied his mind for a moment before leaving the smithy but not before putting up a closed sign to avoid causing trouble.
Blake had already reached the front of the huge mansion, carefully opened the door, and then slipped away undetected while checking on Gaius, he also caught a glimpse of Raven's figure modeling, but just shook his head and kept moving forward. In the end, he was able to reach the back area of the platform, and to his good luck, he saw Evelyn walking from side to side with a somewhat worried expression, but it vanished the instant she saw the figure of Blake.
"Where were you, Blake...?!" Evelyn's voice had been heard quite loud, she was about to ask Blake where he had gotten since it was almost his turn to go modeling, but her sight was quickly caught by what Blake brought with him. "Perhaps…?"
"It's Gaius." Blake didn't think too much about the answer as he put Gaius's sleeping body on a chair that was nearby.
"I can see that... But why did you bring it like that?" Evelyn was having a little trouble knowing the reason for this situation, but Blake would clarify her doubts a bit.
"I thought I'd look for him and convince him to come. I found him in the smithy and he was asleep on the floor, so I brought him directly." Yes, maybe Blake wasn't telling the whole truth besides he brought Gaius against his will, but he felt he was doing the right thing.
Evelyn closed her eyes for a moment to analyze Blake's words, but everything was still strange to her, and just at that moment, they both noticed the slight movements that came from the chair where Gaius was.
"Yawn... That was a good nap." The first thing Gaius did after coming back from the dream realm was to stretch and rub his eyes a little. "How strange, Raven remodeled the smithy?"
He looked around curiously, the last thing he remembered was giving millionaire advice to a wooly stranger, but now he felt like he had been kidnapped or something, and when those figures entered his sight not far from him... He stood petrified, especially when he heard the voice coming towards him.
"Good morning, hehe." Evelyn approached Gaius with a small smile on her face, but it disappeared completely the next second. "I need your help, Gaius!"
Evelyn once again showed a characteristic determination and energy, she had taken Gaius's hands to prevent him from escaping, and she kept talking to make him understand what was in her head.
"I've been looking for you all day, I know I try every year, but I really would like you to participate in my catwalk this time." Violet eyes looked pleadingly at Gaius, but he still couldn't answer. "Even Raven agreed to help me... Sure it was like some kind of apology according to her, but that does not detract from its merit. So please, you don't know how happy it would make me if you're a part of this!"
Evelyn got even closer to Gaius, she was being completely honest with her words and they came to Giaus's ears. He felt that he was about to enter a state of panic, but being a spectator of Evelyn's determination and honesty, it caused a small sigh to come out of his mouth and then nodded in complete silence.
