Javier shot a glare toward Liana, who pretended nothing had happened, adjusting her long maid skirt with a soft, innocent chuckle.
While Buddy kept close to him, pressing his large feathered side against Javier's body, his head lowered protectively near Javier's shoulder.
"Cuquawked!!"
Ugh. Now this huge Pekko is acting like a jealous, overprotective guard bird. A giant, feathery, sulking guard bird who doesn't believe a word I say.
And it's all because Liana decided to stir him up. Definitely still salty about Iria and Iziya earlier.
Sigh… I'm stuck between a jealous elf maid and a monster bird with trust issues. And I still need to reach the Naval Base, summon a mithril warship, and escort a noble lady home.
Great. Just great.
Now I have to figure out how to bring all these giant Pekko so I can launch the new ship.
Javier rubbed his chin.
