Chapter 386 – Vallimie’s Circumstances

Seeing Vallimie, Doby jumped up happily.

Shiggy was still riding on his head, too.

?gyaa gyaa?

?ryaa ryaa?

Doby rubbed his huge face into Vallimie, asking for her to pet him.

At the same time, Shiggy jumped over to on top of Vallimie’s head.

?Okay, okay…thanks for coming too, Shiggy.?

Vallimie rubbed Shiggy with one hand and Doby with the other.

Then she came and sat in front of us.

?Thanks for coming. I’m sorry I couldn’t make myself immediately available.?

?We’re sorry for not letting you know.?

?You can come whenever! You came near to where Rai was, right??

?You noticed??

?Yes. Lee cried out, and I wondered why, and then Rai told me.?

?Oh, so you were inside that place.?

?Yes, I’ve been with those two a lot lately.?

I guess Lee did really feel that we were bothering her.

Then Vallimie and Rai had worked to calm her down.

?Sorry about that.?

?Don’t worry about it.?

Vallimie had left Rai to calm Lee and had come to meet us.

?Even so, you did well to know that we were here.?

?It’s because you went towards the magical circle room without Doby coming back afterwards.?

I guess when nothing else was happening, Doby would always be around Vallimie.

He really did love her. You’d always see him run up to her when she returned to Lindobal.

?So I took a look at Doby’s house.?

?I see. He was very hospitable to us.?

Saying that, we showed her the fruit he gave us.

Femm also took the meat to show her as well.

?He gave me some meat.?

?PiGGi??Moo moo?

?He’s a very smart dragon, sister.?

?Yeah, he is a great, great dragon.?

So everyone said their thanks and praised Doby.

Vallimie petted Doby once more.

?gyaaa?

Doby was a little embarrassed. He put his tail in both of his hands and hid his face with it.

?Yeah, you’re a wonderful great dragon!?

?gyaaa?

Then Timi looked at him seriously and said,

?I agree. Usually great dragons aren’t this intelligent.?

Timi was quite open about how she felt.

So I asked Vallimie,

?So that reminds me, did Rai and Lee have a baby??

?Not yet…?

Vallimie’s answer seemed strange as time had passed since we were told Lee was going to deliver.

Also, we thought that Lee was defensive because she had delivered a child.

?I guess the period of pregnancy is quite long.?

?Well, the two aren’t just lions…they’re magical lions. Pregnancy takes a long time.?

She said, and continued.

A big animal like that tends to have a long gestation.

A normal cat takes two months and a normal lion takes four month.

A magical lion is much bigger, so I assume it takes much longer.

?A magical wolf takes very long too.?

Femm told us.

?I see…?

?Not only gestation, but raising a magical animal takes long as well.?

Femm said, and Vallimie nodded.

?Yeah, just as raising a magical wolf is slower than a wolf, raising a magical lion is slower than a lion.?

?I didn’t know that.?

?Even so, she’ll give birth very soon.?

So I guess that’s why she was bothered. She was about to give birth.

That’s why the two wanted to be along.

Vallimie said now even she rarely visited them.

That’s why Doby was wandering lonely when we came out of the magical transport circles.

?I guess they don’t want us around before or after the birth.?

Vallimie said, with a lonely-sounding laugh.

?Well, I guess we shouldn’t get close to them again.?

We’d probably see the little lions once they had grown a bit.

It was something to wait for.

But it hadn’t happened yet.
