Chapter 2236: Amy’s Mighty Kick!

“A missionary from the church?” Mag was surprised.

Ever since he saw the pope in Rodu, they had not been in contact with anyone from the church.

However, according to what Miya said, someone from the church even came over to Chaos City to look for them?

“He didn’t come these few days, so it probably isn’t anything urgent,” Mag said.

Amy’s pair of invisible wings were given by the pope. That fellow wanted to get Amy to become a holy maiden but Mag would not want Amy to leave home to become a holy maiden at such a young age. It would be a big no even if the pope himself asked.

There’s nothing good about a Holy See that was on a decline.

“I heard from Angela that the Holy See in the Roth Empire is very impressive. Even the coronation of the king of the Roth Empire was done by the pope,” Miya said curiously.

“That’s just a ceremony. The pope is not that impressive,” Mag said with a smile. However, a thought did flash past his mind.

The Holy See did have a very unique status in the Roth Empire. During the racial war, the Holy See was very respected. Through the Holy See’s meeting, the pope could crown anyone to be the leader of the country, which was the so-called divine rights of kings.

However, after the racial war ended, the Roth Empire was formed. The country started gathering those loyal to the king and the Holy See’s existence and power were continually weakened by the succeeding kings. Now, it was just like a mascot that would only appear during important events.

The Holy See, which once saw the humans out of a dark era, was only left with their impressive appearance.

However, according to procedures, the divine rights of kings still existed and the pope still had the power to coronate the king in name.

This was the interesting part.

“Why don’t I find the old fellow for a chat when I have the time later?” Mag thought to himself. The best way to bring down Andre’s rule would naturally be from the inside.

“Are you preparing for opening at night? Is there anything I can help with?” Miya asked Mag, who was spacing out.

“You can sit over there and play with Ugly Duckling. Leave the kitchen to me.” Mag pointed to Ugly Duckling, who was laying on the counter and said, “It’s getting too fat recently. Let it move around more. There are cat toys under the counter.”

“Alright.” Yabemiya walked over to the counter with a smile. She pulled out a thin cat wand toy, with a furry gray squirrel hung on one end, from under the counter. The squirrel had a long tail and a little bell tied to it. Miya called out to Ugly Duckling, “Ugly Duckling, come, let’s play.”

Ugly Duckling glanced at Miya disinterestedly and looked away as it closed its eyes.

Stupid half-dragon. Do you think I’ll play with you?

Ding!

The bell rang.

Ugly Duckling’s folded ears pricked right up. Its long eyelashes fluttered but it still could not resist the urge.

“Get up.”

Miya swayed the cat wand toy before Ugly Duckling. The little squirrel’s tail grazed past Ugly Duckling’s nose.

Ugly Duckling opened its eyes immediately and smacked right at the little squirrel.

Miya reacted quickly, lifting her wrist up gently. The cat wand toy bent into an arch and the little squirrel grazed past Ugly Duckling’s paws and was flung into the air.

Ugly Duckling changed its laying position quickly and used all its strength from its four limbs to pounce at the little squirrel.

Miya turned her wrist and the cat wand toy turned downwards quickly. The little squirrel slipped through Ugly Duckling’s paws and landed on the floor, grazing past its face.

Ugly Duckling’s eyes widened immediately. It had already leaped off the counter and onto the ground.

Luckily, it was thick enough and when it fell onto the ground, it even rebounded a little. After that, it rolled two times forward before coming to a stop.

“Hehehe… Ugly Duckling, you’re so stupid.” Miya could not stop laughing.

Ugly Duckling lay belly up, on the floor helplessly. My glorious lifetime is ruined in the hands of this woman.

Ding ding ding~

The bell rang once again. Although it was very much against it, Ugly Duckling’s body still reacted very honestly to give chase to that little squirrel.

“Don’t run! Stop! You stupid mouse!”

Mag watched Miya tease Ugly Duckling and smiled.

This little thing was definitely no ordinary species. It even dared to growl at Ah Zi and in just a few months, it had reached a weight of 10 kilos. It was only a matter of time before its bed would collapse under its weight.

“Tsk tsk, is Ugly Duckling working hard to lose weight today?” Amy walked in and happened to see Ugly Duckling running around the place.

Upon hearing Amy’s voice, Ugly Duckling, who was concentrating on chasing the little squirrel, lost its footing and fell straight from the beam.

Luckily, Amy reacted fast enough and kicked it to the wall, so that it would not fall onto the ground.

“Its skin is getting very bouncy.” Miya caught Ugly Duckling, who rebounded from the wall and rubbed its chubby face.

Ugly Duckling: “…?”

Amy hung her bag on the hanger behind the counter and told Ugly Duckling, “If you grow any fatter, I’ll send you to the school’s soccer team, so they won’t have to keep picking up balls.”

Ugly Duckling: “”༼0o0;༽ノ!

“If you don’t want to become a soccer ball, you better run 10 rounds around the restaurant before dinner.” Amy took Ugly Duckling down from Miya’s arms and placed it on the floor. After that, she touched its fat paws and said, “Look, your legs are gone. I even wanted to ride around on you in the future. Do you want to roll around everywhere?”

Ugly Duckling raised its short legs in protest.

“Too short means they’re gone!”

Ugly Duckling looked at Amy’s legs.

Amy gave it a mighty kick!

Swoosh!

Ugly Duckling started sprinting around the restaurant and became an orange whirl of wind. Its speed was amazing.

“Good, run another 20 rounds.” Amy praised.

The running whirlwind skidded and banged its head against the wall. After a while, it started running again.

Mag watched on with a smile. Ugly Duckling was Amy’s pet, so he would not interfere with how she would like to teach it.

Besides, it was just as Amy said. As a magic beast, Ugly Duckling was too lazy and was lacking in training. If it continued to grow fatter, going out of the door would be a problem, much less being on the battlefield in the future.

One had to know that a beastmaster would usually train magic beasts from when they were young. The beastlings would have to undergo different battle training, taming, and other horrible sufferings.

Making Ugly Duckling run tens of rounds around the restaurant was really very kind.

“Father, I heard Jessica say that in a week, she would be going to Hope Primary School,” Amy told Mag, who was grinding soybeans as she walked to the kitchen door.

“Teacher Luna’s Hope Primary School has accepted several children for the coming semester but has the date and time for school reopening been set?” Mag asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Amy said with a nod, “I would like to buy Jessica a school reopening present. Can I give her a school bag? I would like to make one myself.”
