Chapter 65

"W-what? Waaaa! Don't leave me, big brother!" The boy cried desperately and wriggled his small body off of Howl's tight grip, trying to escape. "Boohoo! If you leave me, I will tattle you to sister! I'm big sister Atasha's precious little brother! She won't let you off if you—ah! Don't go, brother Regalus!"

Seeing as the golden snake wasn't fazed by his pleading, Seven yelled his resentment at the retreating back of Regalus. "Ah! You heartless snake! I won't let you share a bed with sister if I return in one piece after this!"

As expected, the python flinched at the mention of it. Seven, who saw his reaction, sniffed his dripping snot and grinned with glee when he saw his words having an effect.

His face lit up as if he had acquired a saving grace, thinking that he had successfully incited the golden python to give him a hand.
