Gaiden – Princess Leonoi of the Jungle #4
The West was generally said to be a rough land. It is said that there is a wide and desolate rocky desert, and beside it, a strangely dense jungle and wild beasts lurk.
To clear that barren and rough land, brave people were needed more than anyone else, and the people of the Lioness family were perfect for that role.
Maybe it was natural for them to become the rulers of the West, I don’t know. However, in reality, the land of Borja was quite a sparkling place.
As the name suggests, a city where people gather in a large oasis, palm trees are planted here and there, and clear water flows through the nearby waterway.
A place where men and women with tanned blonde hair are often seen on the street.
“Is this Borja, the hometown of the lions?”
“Girl.”
Is Elgar’s mother’s blood boiling? When he warped to Borgia, Leonoi could hardly calm down and stretched out his hands in all directions or floundered.
Originally, I should have brought this Leonoi to Borgia City Hall to let them know that I was there.
I didn’t want to waste time alone with my daughter, so I opened up the map and decided to find out if there was a jungle nearby where a lion might have appeared. But there is too much jungle.
First of all, it would be good to explore.
The market street is also perfect for exploring.
As a result of the above logic, he led Leonoi to the market of Borgia, the central city of the west.
Since Borgia was a city that was large enough to be compared to Monarch City, the capital of the kingdom, the market was bigger and crowded than I had imagined.
-Oh my, what a cute baby.
– Look at the round eyes. The ears are pointy too. Are you a young nymph?
-Blonde looks like a distant relative. Did you have any relatives who gave birth to nymphs?
The blonde women were interested in the Leonoi I was holding. One by one, their eyes soon turned to me, so I put my Sara hood on deeply and left the place, which might be revealed.
It was around the time I was walking down the market street for a while.
“Meow, meow.”
Leonoi, who usually doesn’t say anything other than gal, struggled as he stretched out his arms somewhere. When I turned my head, I saw a merchant selling several cats with leashes.
“Come on. Is there really just one?”
A merchant with a turban on his head savvyly starts a business, perhaps noticing that our eyes are touching. Soon he said, pointing to each cat on its leash.
“They are cats from a distant country, Turki. Very popular with girls. This guy here is Turki Angora. This guy here is Turki Bengal-.”

Cats, slightly larger than the palm of my hand, that look like they have just been weaned, raise their front paws or roll around and play with each other. When we drop the Leonoi down, Leonoi also plays with the kittens.
Seeing this, the cat merchant stopped talking and laughed.
“I’ve already seen a lot of western ladies’ beauties. This little princess is on a different level. You’ll be a great girl. There must be a cat next to such a girl.”
“Yao. Oh my.”
Leonoi seemed to like cats very much. Seeing how they look good together, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy one and make it a friend.
But I shook my head. Because raising or taking life is not a simple whim.
ㅡ Hyoong.
Yes, Bael. I think it would be right to talk to Elgar about making Leonoi’s friends. Elgar will be angry if I buy a cat at will.
So I asked the merchant to appease a little regret.
“Have you ever heard of a jungle where lions appear nearby?”
“It is a jungle from which lions come. Hey, I guess you’re talking about the growling forest.”
“A growling forest?”
At my question, the merchant patted his long beard and said:
“Leopards, lions, and tigers, it is a jungle inhabited by terrifying beasts. It’s a protected area, so I can’t get into it. There is no other place with more lions than there.”
“It’s a protected area.”
“What is it, the holy land of the Lioness family? That’s what it’s called It is also the place where Borgia Liones began to draw his ax and calm the turmoil.”
It was quite helpful information.
“I can’t buy a cat. You have answered my question, so take it here.”
I gave the merchant a gold coin as an information fee. Perhaps he was surprised by the unexpectedly large amount of money, but he seemed to be asking, “What is Nari’s name?” I had to leave in a hurry, so I couldn’t answer.
* * *
Even in winter, the western city was quite warm. So Leonoi and I were able to walk in the field wearing relatively thinner clothes.
I walked for quite a long time from lunch until the sun slowly went down. Leonoi ran around chasing butterflies that he saw nearby without showing any signs of tiredness.
“Butterfly.”
“Yes, butterfly.”
How many times have you spent so long alone with Leonoi? I could see that Leonoi could easily imitate and memorize these and other words.
In a few months or a few days, you will now be able to speak even short sentences fluently.
The thought that I wish that time would come soon and the desire to remember this little figure forever fills my heart like a fluffy fluffy cushion.
That was then.
“Kunky.”
Leonoi held out something to me. When he comes to his senses, in Leonoi’s hand, a dog squirrel is trembling with a grip on the nape of his neck.
ㅡ Ki-ing, Ki-ing.
Unlike the brown dog squirrel, the brown dog squirrel, the color is golden. It appears to be a dog squirrel living in this western area.
“No, how did you get this?”
“Kunky.”
Do you know if it’s a kennel? The dog squirrel used to play with Leono whenever he had free time.
More than that, the dog squirrel is so quick that it’s hard to catch it by hand, but I don’t know how Leonoi caught it.
that’s interesting. Rather, how should we react in such a case? Daughters usually catch squirrels like this, aren’t they?
It’s my first time becoming a father, so I don’t know. Still, Leonoi seemed to be making a face that was expecting something, so I handed the squirrel and put my hand on Leonoi’s head.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Nymph Biggie, Spanking!
“Good catch.”
swish squash.
Only then did Leonoi exhale and snort. Of course, the dog squirrel was released after that. Because I couldn’t eat it or raise it.
The problem was that even after that, Leonoi grabbed a mole or sparrow as small as the palm of his hand and held it out to me.
Every time I did, I exaggeratedly praised him, “You did a good job!” I wondered how Leonoi was able to catch beasts.
“… … .”
“… … .”
So, while he was watching Leonoi, the little hunter quietly smoked. The hunting methods are trade secrets, so I can’t even show them to my father – is it something like that?
After all, I didn’t see Leonoi hunting. As I walked through the fields playing around like that, I was able to reach a jungle full of trees and bushes.
Whew-.
The wind blows and touches the bridge of my nose. Rather than the wind of winter, it was a breeze that felt like late spring.
The ambient temperature is also high.
This would be enough to not even have to wear a coat.
It seems certain that it is a bizarre forest. It wouldn’t be strange if there were certainly strange beings living in this strange forest. Like a lion whose mane shines like the sun.
“Then let’s go into the forest.”
I took Leonoi and entered the growling forest. As soon as I walked through the grass, I started to feel the gazes watching me from all over the place.
―Grrr.
ㅡ Whoops.
You can feel the presence of animals crouching in the bushes. If I show even the slightest gap, I’m just trying to catch my breath.
If I were an ordinary person, I wouldn’t have even set foot in this growling forest.
Of course, there were no wild beasts attacking me. The sharp sense peculiar to the wild must have sensed the difference between them and me. The most dangerous thing in this forest is me, the little half-elf.
“Hi-Hi.”
Then Leonoi laughed. Whether or not you know that there are wild beasts around. No, maybe I’m relieved because I’m there.
To Leonoi, I look more reliable and bigger than anyone else. So, no matter where you are, you will be able to smile brightly.
As soon as I thought about it, I felt a force on my shoulders.
“Leonoi, no matter what happens, I will protect you.”
I think I can do my best for Leonoi. I took Leonoi like that and went deeper into the growling forest.
* * *
The night in the forest came quickly. I made a lodging for the night by lighting a fire nearby, and taking out the tent I took out of my 《Squirrel Storage》.
“Is this going to be the first night out in Leonoi’s life?”
Tick, tick.
In front of the burning bonfire, I rode Leonoi’s milk powder. It was unfamiliar at first, but after doing this a few times, I got used to it.
Leonoi drank powdered milk without honey, probably because he was hungry because he walked a lot today.
“Baby should not eat honey. They told me that I could not digest it, and I could get food poisoning.”
“Girl.”
burrr.
Just then, the tail of Marmar, which I was wearing on my wrist, trembled. When it vibrates, it means that someone is calling me.
– Hey, it’s me. How are you? I just called to say hello.
Elgar’s voice is heard from Marmar’s tail.
“I am doing well. Leonoi is fine too.”
– We are doing well too. I’ll probably be back the day after tomorrow. nothing wrong? Where are you now? Angmar Palace?
… If I said Borgia, would you be mad?
“Just, what is it?”
It was about time to turn around.
“Ugh.”
Leonoi made a strange sound like a person who was struggling to fight a tug of war.
Paaah-!
Then, Leonoi’s body starts to emit a flash of light. The light was so dazzling that the light of the bonfire was dimmed.
“What is this… .”
– What is it? What’s going on?
“No, I’ll call you later!”
– Hey, you now-.
drop.
Elgar’s call was cut off. Because I thought it was urgent to calm Leonoi, who shined like a piece of the sun that fell to the ground.
But how?
Is there an off switch?
It was when I was floundering.
━━───!!!
It resounded through the big and fierce forest. It was like a cry of thunder that struck the dry sky. Soon the trees and bushes shook violently, and the magic bonfire I had lit went out.
Paz-.
As the bushes swayed one by one with a strange feeling, I wrapped Leonoi in my cloak to hide the light. Something was about to happen–that I could grasp at once.
“You’d better not think about flirting with me.”
As I prepared my magic with my hands, I looked around and said, too, in a low voice, growling. Soon, something pierces through the bushes and slowly approaches me.
lion.
it was a lion A male lion whose fur has grown so white that it can be clearly recognized even in the dark. Anyone can tell that it is a rare beast even by pretending to be.
I didn’t see any hostility to attack me. Rather, it was a white lion that looked somewhat magical and even sublime. The size is also large. A lion the size of a car.
Were you led by Leonoi’s light?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, the real question is this.
“Are you the messenger of the sun?”
ㅡGree… .
The lion only croaked lowly, but did not respond. The boy quickly turned his head. It turns away from me and disappears into the bush, waving only its tail.
“Are you asking me to follow you?”
He seemed to want to lead me somewhere. I followed the lion with the feeling of not knowing, and a large cave appeared. A cave with a radius of several meters from the entrance.

Contrary to the prejudice that I was inside a cave, my vision and surroundings became brighter and brighter as I entered the cave. Also, the air was so warm that I was sweating even after walking a little.
It’s a cave full of flowers and grass.
“It’s a strange place.”
It was a time when I too, who had experienced many experiences, could not hide my strange feelings. The white lion who was leading me stopped walking and chin. Do you mean to go further inside?
I passed him and entered what we might call the end of the cave.
And there, I was able to meet a really surprising guy.
It was a beast the size of two buses put together. Turok was all shining with a golden light, so dazzling that it was hard to look straight ahead.
His rich mane blazes like the sun, and his eyes are as blue as the sea. Its forelimbs and hind legs were like pillars, and its tail was like a waving whip.
“I am the Great Emperor Solar. little fairy You are not surprised to see my luggage.”
A giant golden lion spoke to me. Actually, I was quite surprised, but it seems that my surprise did not live up to the expectations of a giant lion.
Because the time for astonishing as the beast speaks has passed.
I said calmly.
“Great Emperor Solar. My name is Teo Gospel of Angmar. The little one here is my daughter Leono.”
“Teo Gospel, you are the one the cranes were talking about. Nice to meet you, half-fairy. So, why did you come to see me?”
That dignified appearance and attitude made me remember the first time I met Reinhardt. It was a moment when I could feel the lion’s blood running through the Lioness family.
I asked.
“The light comes from the body of my daughter, Leonoi.”
slur.
I take off my robe that was covering Leonoi’s body. Then, Leonoi’s body was emitting a bright light like an incandescent light bulb.
“Hey. A young lion that shines really nicely. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything that shines like this since Jim’s son Borgia.”
“I came here because I thought you would know what this is and how to solve it, Daejeon Solar.”
“Tao Gospel, you are as wise as you have been told. It wouldn’t be a lie to say that I defeated the shining giant in the sky. good night. don’t tell me However, there are conditions.”
“Conditions?”
“Jim has woken up from a long sleep and is hungry. Somewhere in this forest, there must be a bunch of mittens that Jim likes. Among them, there must be the fattest one with golden feathers. Catch him.”
A swarm of chirping mittens flashed in my mind. It was a time when I was about to turn around thinking that hunting them was not difficult.
“However, Teo Gospel, you must not do anything. Let the little lion Leonoi do this hunt.”
At that, my eyebrows furrowed.
“Leonoi is only close to two years old now.”
Hehehe, the smiling great Emperor Solar.
“Two years is old enough. Tae-oh Gospel, you still don’t know your child well.”
