Chereads / The Lizard's Ascent / Chapter 16 - You wouldn't be unwelcoming me, would you?

Chapter 16 - You wouldn't be unwelcoming me, would you?

 Unlike just now, this time Miss Cecilia, who was pressed onto his back, was completely pressing her body weight onto it, and her hands were tightly wrapped around his neck.

 One could only say that the touch was particularly clear.

 There was also the fact that the golden silk threads in his body were also growing at an extremely fast speed, just this short less than a moment there were already half a dozen more. (One meter long for one.)

 Sethe understood where this satisfaction was coming from.

 Even though he had turned into a lizard, his aesthetics still hadn't changed in the slightest.

 In his previous life, he was a workaholic who had been single since his mother's womb and had never fallen in love at all.

 Now all of a sudden, he was approached by a beautiful maiden like Cecilia, who was like a girl who came out of the second dimension, without any defenses.

 No ... not right.

 One should not have this kind of thought.

 Cecilia's gaze at herself appeared in her mind.

 It was a gaze that contained fondness in its gentleness, but this fondness was the kind of gaze that looked at a younger brother in general.

 The thoughts in his heart immediately slowly cooled down at this moment.

 Yes, she was only taking care of herself as a younger brother.

 A complex emotion rose in Sethe's heart, a little bit of loss and a little bit of unwillingness.

 After climbing up to the tree house with Miss Cecilia on his back, Sethe slightly shook his body.

 During the three days of staying in the tree house, Sethe expanded the tree house by the way when she got bored of reading books, so the tree house now had a lot of space.

 The small hand around the neck immediately loosened.

 Landing safely on the ground, Cecilia surveyed the tree house, a very humble tree house.

 Immediately though, it wasn't spartan.

 She had come prepared this time.

 A smile appeared on Cecilia's face at the thought and she turned her gaze to Sethe at her side.

 "Sethe close your eyes, I'll give you a surprise okay."

 "Anon?"

 "Just close your eyes~"

 The young girl slightly shook up the paw of the upright lizard, as if she was pampered.

 Looking at Cecilia, who was holding her left paw and constantly shaking it, Sethe silently closed her eyes.

 "Bang~!"

 The sound of something heavy hitting the ground came from the tree house.

 Hearing the sound Sethe's first thought was to open his eyes, but that's when Cecilia's voice sounded ahead.

 "Sethe don't open your eyes, oh, otherwise I won't come to your place every other half month, no, a week."

 The young girl's voice carried an obvious threat, but honestly, Sethe felt that Cecilia's gentle voice like this was not suitable to make any threats.

 Speaking threatening words, sounded soft to him.

 "Aang~"

 Opening his mouth in response, Sethe continued to close his eyes tightly.

 He wanted to see what kind of surprise Cecilia was planning to give herself.

 "Bang~!"

 Another sound of an object hitting the ground, not as loud as the last one.

 After waiting slowly like this for about five or six minutes, Cecilia's voice came to his ears.

 "Okay, you can open your eyes now~"

 Hearing this Sethe opened her eyes.

 The moment she opened her eyes Sethe saw a large bed in her originally empty cabin, no it was a large bed it was more like a circular nest with some soft blue-looking bedding.

 Not just a nest, there was also a cabinet in the room at the same time.

 A faint invisible wave emanated from the cabinet.

 Seeing this scene, Sethe subconsciously stepped back.

 A fear even rose in her heart.

 The last time she saw this phenomenon was on the woman who almost killed herself.

 "What's wrong, Sethe?"

 Cecilia noticed Sethe's abnormality.

 It was only a matter of moments before Sethe had retreated to the entrance of the treehouse.

 Sethe raised a paw to point at the cabinet.

 The cabinet?

 Cecilia was a bit puzzled, it was just a magic cabinet, its function was to store some seasonings and simple ingredients to keep them fresh.

 Why was little Sethe so scared?

 Suddenly she remembered something.

 Wraiths were born to see magic.

 But why would Sethe be afraid when she saw the magic power fluctuations emanating from the magic cabinet?

 Her mind recalled seeing Sethe covered in wounds slumped in front of the manor.

 Running forward, Cecilia reached out and took the upright lizard's round head into her arms.

 Being held by his head and smelling the warm fragrance of Cecilia's body, Sethe felt the fear in his heart dissipating a little.

 "It's okay, it's okay~"

 The gentle voice fell like light piercing through dark clouds.

 It was warm.

 The body softened, Sethe quietly lay down in Cecilia's arms and raised her paw to point at the cabinet not far away, this thing was dangerous.

 "Aang~"

 Feeling the little one's body slowly becoming tense once again, Cecilia hurriedly continued to comfort the little one in her arms.

 "It's okay oh, it's okay oh."

 "This is not a dangerous item, this is just very common to the ordinary magic cabinet, Little Sethe don't you like to eat cooked food? I'll prepare a lot of seasonings for you inside oh."

 "With these seasonings, Sethe will be able to make a lot of very, very delicious food."

 Magic cabinet?

 Sethe looked closely at the magic cabinet, which immediately revealed that the air twisting around the magic cabinet was quite calm, unlike the raging sense of destroying everything that emanated from that woman.

 Feeling the little one in her arms begin to relax once more, Cecilia pulled on both of the little one's large paws, allowing the little one to stand up on her own.

 "Going to take a look? There's a lot of seasoning prepared inside oh."

 "Aang~"

 Looking at Cecilia in front of her, Sethe chose to agree.

 A gentle smile appeared on Cecilia's face as she pulled up the little one's paw and took a step toward the magic cabinet.

 While looking at the magic cabinet that was getting closer and closer, Sethe felt very calm in his heart.

 He understood in his heart why this was so.

 His eyes went to Cecilia's hand that was pulling his right paw.

 "Look, there's nothing right?"

 "Aang~"

 [Click~]

 Cecilia pulled open the drawer box filled with snow-white fine sand.

 "This one is white salt."

 "This is."

 Listening to Cecilia's gentle and soft voice, introducing each seasoning flavor, Sethe felt that the last bit of engraved fear in his heart was being smoothed away little by little.

 Slowly he stood by the side and listened attentively to Cecilia's explanation of each seasoning.

 [Rumble!]

 Just then a thunderous sound resounded through the sky.

 Hearing this sound of thunder, Sethe and Cecilia almost at the same time looked towards the treehouse's big door.

 At an unknown time, the sky outside had become overcast, purple lightning bolts broke through the sky and fell from time to time, and the sound of thunder was even more incessant.

 [Splat~]

 [Clatter~]

 The sporadic drizzle just turned into pouring rain in less than a moment.

 It's raining, but it's already getting dark outside.

 How was Ms. Cecilia going to get back?

 Thinking of this, Sethe inclined her head and gazed at Miss Cecilia beside her.

 At this exact moment, Cecilia also looked at Sethe.

 Looking at Sethe's dumbfounded appearance, a gentle smile appeared on Cecilia's face.

 "It seems like I'm going to stay here with you today Sethe, Sethe won't be unwelcoming me, right?"
