Chapter 35 - Named Ziza

Calris and the others were a bit worried about Myalis since they got word from the academy that after lunch she did not show up to any of her classes and they wanted to know why.

Calris approached Myalis along with Lilian as they looked at the beast girl's tail while it was wagging, the girl squeezed Myalis's hand and Myalis glanced at her before smiling.

'This one is kinda cute, I wonder if she is going to stay like this,' Myalis thought before patting her on her head and she looked at Myalis with shimmering eyes.

"Seraphina, who is this?" Lilian asked and Myalis sighed.

"She is going to be living with me from today, I will give the details later," She responded and Calris nodded.

"Really? She is cute," Lilian said as she grabbed onto the girl, hugging her tightly and Myalis and the others began laughing at the girl's reaction.

"It's fine, Lilian is not going to hurt you, she is fine, she is my guardian as well," Myalis said and she nodded then Lilian chuckled.

"She is really cute, seeing a cat girl in this place is not rare, but a lot of them avoid people," Lilian said and Myalis glanced at her.

'She looks a bit afraid of people as well, I noticed that when I was getting her clothes earlier, why?' Myalis wondered as she felt a shocking wave passing through her spine and she gnashed her teeth.

Calris glanced at Myalis and his eyes narrowed as he was about to touch her, but she grabbed onto his arm and he flinched.

"Are you really okay?" He asked and she smiled at him.

"Yeah, I am fine, can you guys give her a room, please, it's already night and we are both hungry," She responded and Calris smiled at her.

"All right, you kids go and freshen up first, then we will have dinner and we will get her a room perfect for herself, how about that?" Lilian asked.

"Sounds perfect," Myalis responded before leaving with the girl.

Myalis took the girl to her room and closed the door before placing their bags on the bed, the cat girl looked at Myalis who lowered her head while clutching her chest.

"Do you have a name?" Myalis asked.

"No, I don't have one," She responded.

"I see, then, since you are now my responsibility I will name you, but, do you really want to stay by my side?" Myalis asked.

"You didn't treat me like most would, especially with the position I was in, you held back while fighting me, you protected me, I think I want to stay a while longer if you allow me," She responded and a smirk appeared on Myalis's face.

"I see, I will allow you and I will name you now," She said as she raised up her head and her eyes widened as she jumped back.

Myalis saw that the girl had too her clothes off and was smiling at her.

"W- Why did you take your dress off?" Myalis asked as she grabbed a sheet from her bed, the girl tilted her head, completely clueless as to why Myalis was startled.

"Since you are going to name me, you needed to see the top of my chest for the mark, the dress was blocking everything so I took it off," She responded and Myalis exhaled deeply.

'What do I keep getting myself into?' She wondered as she wrapped the sheet around the girl then pulled her closer to her and the girl left staring into Myalis's eyes.

"Listen carefully, don't do that again, there are other ways, got it?" She asked and the girl's eyes flushed before she nodded, then Myalis released her and the cat girl went on her knees to the floor.

Myalis wondered why she was bowing to her then she remembered that the girl was only doing that out of respect for her being her master.

"I hereby name you, Ziza," She said then the girl stood up and her eyes began glowing red and a marking began appearing on Ziza's chest like a crest.

Myalis's eyes glowed red and she pressed the palm of her right hand on the girl's chest, Ziza's body began glowing brightly and Myalis's eyes widened as she looked at the girl and Ziza opened her eyes and smiled at Myalis.

"I am now fully under your command, master," She said as she bowed her then both of them returned to normal and Myalis patted Ziza on her head.

"There is no need to bow to me, you are now my friend, go take a bath, then we will go for dinner, you need to eat as well," She replied and the girl smiled brightly before nodding and going to take a bath.

A while after, after they both finished taking their baths and getting dressed, Myalis took Ziza to the dining room and she left staring at how beautiful the building was, the others smiled after seeing them and Myalis placed Ziza to sit down beside her.

"What's your name?" Calris asked and Ziza looked at him and then smiled.

"My name Ziza, nice to meet you and thank you for having me,' She responded and they smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you Ziza, we are glad to have you," Calris said and she grinned due to which Myalis smiled before sighing in relief, then they took their food to eat which Ziza enjoyed and Lilian was pleased.

"Seraphina, why did you leave the academy today?" Calris asked and she stopped eating then looked at him and smiled.

"I was training, that's how I met her, can we talk a bit more about it tomorrow?" She asked and Calris's eyes narrowed before he nodded.

"Sure, we will talk about it, first thing tomorrow morning, you guys eat your food, you both look tired," He responded and she chuckled then continued eating.

Calris and his wife had a lot of questions for Myalis about Ziza and a few other things, but they chose to wait until later to ask her.

A while after they finished eating, Lilian took Ziza to her new room which she was very pleased with and before Myalis went to her own room to call it a night, she patted the girl on her head and wished her good night before leaving but when she left, Ziza's eyes trembled as though she was afraid of something.

When Myalis returned to her room, she sat down on the floor and her body began glowing slightly as the energy that was causing her body pain began flowing smoothly within her.
