Chapter 1044: Leave her alone
When I checked on the Great Wolves the next morning, it was hard to call them cubs anymore with how big they had gotten.
Though mentally...they were still the same age as before.
But when it came to their size, they were much bigger than before.
They were taller than me, even the weakest female cub had been able to reach a height where she was taller than me.
That was how much they grew in a single day just from the supplements.
The giants were all surprised by this, but the children didn't seem to mind at all as they went forward to play with the Great Wolves still. Since they had the mentality of children, the Great Wolves happily played with the children, though they did turn back to look at me as if they were asking if it was alright.
I didn't mind at all since it was a good way to train them to be friendly to giants and humans in the future.
Though I didn't stay to watch them play.
Since I didn't stay, Terry stopped playing and ran after me as if he wanted to follow me around.
I had already expected this, so I wanted to have Joan pick Terry up.
Only I realized that this didn't seem appropriate with Terry's current size.
Terry had gotten a bit big, so it would be awkward for Joan to carry him around. So all he could do was follow behind Joan as we set off.
There was a moment where he had wanted to give me a ride like Joan did, but she immediately shut him down.
With the way that she suppressed him, it was as if she was saying that she was the only one that I could ride.
I had to take a moment to calm the two of them down before we were able to set off.
As for our destination, it was naturally the giant market again.
Today was the second day of the giant market and the day where all of the giant tribes would have been informed of the goods that we had. That meant that there would be far more items brought to trade with us today.
I was looking forward to seeing what the giant tribes would bring to trade with us.
The things from yesterday were already priceless enough, so I was a bit expectant of what they would bring today.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the giant market, but we were caught off guard since there was someone who was waiting at the entrance of the giant market.
With the way that they stood there, it was as if this person had been waiting here for a while
now.
If it was anyone else, we wouldn't be that concerned about them waiting here.
It was because we recognized this person that we were surprised to see them waiting there.
It was Isra and the Vale Tribe
She stood there looking a bit bashful and a bit distracted as if she was thinking about something.
With the way that she stood there, it was almost as if...
There was a bitter look that was on my face and it didn't help when Alidus shot a meaningful look at me.
I really wanted to shout at him, "That's your future wife there!"
But of course, I held myself back in the end.
Since she was blocking the entrance to the giant market, we had no choice but to pass by her if we wanted to enter.
There was a part of me that wanted to turn around and just leave, but we had to go to the market in the end.
When Isra saw us coming forward, her eyes immediately fell onto me before turning away. I could see that there was a faint blush that was on her face as she turned away which made my heart sink.
After an awkward silence, Isra came back to her senses and said, "Good morning to you. I've talked to my father and we've brought quite a few things to trade for your items today."
It seemed like she was back to talking normally which honestly made me feel relieved.
After calming myself down, I said, "We always welcome your business."
I had been about to smile before realizing what had come of that smile yesterday, so there was an awkward moment where my lips just seemed to stop mid smile. I stood there with an awkward look on my face after saying this.
To my surprise, it didn't seem like Isra minded this.
The way that she looked at me, it was almost as if she had seen something that she hadn't expected and she was happy about that.
It really made my heart drop when I saw her like this...
So the only thing that I could think of to distract her was...
I gestured with my fingers and Terry gave a howl to get my attention.
This was one of the things that I had taught Terry yesterday since I had expected this
situation.
Once he barked, I turned back and walked over to Terry's side as if I was checking on him.
But to my surprise, Isra came over as well to take a proper look at Terry.
After looking at him for a bit, she said, "He really has grown since yesterday. Do Great Wolves really grow that quickly?"
Since it was a normal conversation, I let out an internal sigh of relief before going to answer
her.
Only before I was able to answer her, there was someone that suddenly cut in.
"Don't you talk to her! She isn't someone that a human like you can talk to! Leave her alone
this instant!"
This voice came from behind us and it was a familiar voice.
The moment that I heard it, there was a slightly chubby figure that appeared in my mind.
Then when I turned around, that slightly chubby figure appeared in front of me.
It was Dorian, the junior chief of the Korin Tribe from yesterday.
