The children and Spencer looked confused at first as to who I am talking to but soon gasped in shock and looked on top of my head.

A furball with a face of a baby tiger looked at them while laying on top of my head. Jessa staggered and pointed at the black beast.

"That's... The legendary beast? My god, I thought I could only see them in books but now I'm seeing one with my own two eyes..."

"Amazing, I never knew that Miss Jane is accompanied by the legendary beast."

"W-whoa, he's cute."

"Waah! How adorable! I want to pinch its cheek!"

The black beast just blankly stared at the children and then moved his gaze to Spencer. Spencer flinched and bowed his head.

"It is great to meet you, legendary beast."

The black beast looked away from him and fixed his gaze on the children. Jane smiled at the black beast's action.

"Hey, Don't be shy and play with the kids if you want."

"Can I?"

"Of course you can, no one is stopping you."

The black beast jumped from Jane's head and walked towards the children. The children welcomed him and tried to play games with him. Jane smiled at the scene and look at the sky.

"It'll soon be nighttime, we should sleep here before moving tomorrow."

"Where are we going tomorrow?"

"Hmm, to save a woman love by god?"

"What?"

"What?"

Jane just ignored Spencer's dumb expression and took out tent pieces from her pocket. Once she got all the pieces out she was about to assemble them but Spencer snatched the piece from her.

"I'll handle it."

The children noticed their brother's actions and started to run towards me. They look like they are waiting for my orders. I sighed.

"Lily and Jessa go help Spencer set up the tent. Michael and Josh, you hunt some food in the forest. But don't wander for too long. You might get lost. And you, come with me. We're getting firewood."

The four children exclaimed. Only the black beast answered gloomily.

"Yes!"

"...Fine."

Michael and Josh started running towards the forest and I walked in the other direction. The black beast sat on my shoulder while looking at me. I ignored his stares and started to pick up some branches. I noticed that the black beast was still not moving so I speak to him.

"Hey Nash, it's going to be dark soon so you should help me pick some good branches. We don't want to get a cold at night."

The black beast's ears went up and his eyes looked at Jane with surprise. Jane just looked back at him and frowned.

"Nash what are you doing? Do you not want to help me?"

"W-what, who?"

"Who else is with me beside you?"

The black beast blinked a few times before stammering.

"N-Nash, that's me?"

"Yeah, Nash Clodwal... Why? You don't like it?"

"No...I like it."

"Really? That's good."

Jane continued to pick up branches and because of that, she didn't see the black beast, no, Nash's bright smile.
