"Buddyyyyy! That was fun!" Javier laughed, patting Buddy's neck enthusiastically. "How about we hunt down the remaining bandits, huh? Ehehehe… We can loot them! They loot and kill others, so we'll just return the favor. Yeah, it's called justice."
Buddy squawked in agreement, his beady eyes gleaming with excitement.
Javier smirked, leaning closer to Buddy's ear. "And I'll treat you to some premium wyvern meat later. Sound good? Ehehehe, I've got a lot of it stored up in my magic storage! We'll grill it, spice it up, and… slurp…"
Both Javier and Buddy drooled at the thought of a feast, their imaginations racing with the aroma of sizzling wyvern meat.
But before Javier could indulge his plans further, he felt a sudden sharp tug on his ear.
"Eeeeekkk!! That hurts!! Who dares—" He twisted around, freezing mid-sentence.
"Ahhhh… L-Liiiaaaa…nnnaaaa…" he stammered, sweat dripping down his face as he faced Liana's calm yet terrifying gaze.
