"ummp!"
Dexter struggled to not let the book which is as big as his head touch the ground
The book is already heavy enough to make the young man almost kneel in the ground. but his hairy costume just made Dexter's job of lifting the book even harder
As he can't properly grip the books cover with his arm being covered by the costume
Dexter looked in the books cover to try reading the heavy books title. he squinted his eyes to properly see what is written in the book. as the strong sunlight made reading the books title a little harder
"The human sidekick of the hero?"
Dexter whispered under his breathe. a little surprise he can actually read the text written in the book. even though he was pretty sure the letters written in the books front cover wasn't familiar to him.
But for some reason it was readable and was actually clear. as if he knows something he actually have no clue of.
'The title. isn't this..'
Dexter squinted his eyes as the sunlight was strong enough to outshine the letter that was written in the book
"The human sidekick of the hero"
Dexter said outloud.
'..Human?.why can't they use names. is name haven't been invented in this story. or did the heroes sidekick nameless or something..'
Dexter thought a little mad. cause for some reason the title fuel his anger but he had no clue why?
"The human sidekick of the hero?. oh that story!. I have no idea they make a book about that story . can I borrow the book my child"
Madell said in surprise when she heard Mandell reading the books aloud . she then reach his hand to the child
Hearing his master asking for the book he was holding. dexter immediately put the book to his front where his owner's hand can be seen reaching to him
"H..here ma'am"
Dexter then lift the book a little higher for it to reach his owner's hand
"Thank you Mandell"
Madell give his gratitude to the young lady in front of her
She then flip the book to its first page without any hint of it being heavy as dexter know it was
'Ma'am Madell really is strong.'
The young man thought before hearing his master's motherly voice saying
"Once upon a time where the humakey was still prey to the outside monsters...this really is that story!"
Madell said excitedly. she then put the book in front of the humakey who is sitting near his stall
"I'll take this book how much is this Younamey"
Madell said to the seller of the book. the humakey then show his hand raising four of his hairy fingers
"..I see here"
Madell said giving the seller something which magically appeared in his hand
"My child do you want to read this book"
Madell said excitedly turning his attention to the child on his side
"Yes Ma'am madell"
Dexter immediately answered.
"Really. Mandell you'll like this book"
Madell said with a bright smile. dexter has no clue of why his master is showing such a happy mood by just reading the books title
But dexter just got along his master's whim as it was something he need to do for his owner to not see him as a pest that she needed to kill
Madell grabbed dexters hand..the humakey costume's hairy hand.. and rush to a certain place where a shade that can protecting you from the light can be seen
Madell let go of mandell's hand and slowly approach a step. she then sit down with the book open in his lap
"Right here Mandell. let me read this story to you"
Madell said excitedly patting his side which was free for dexter to sit on
Dexter complied to his master's word. and sat down near his owner which seems pretty excited and happy by just looking at the big grin that was visible in her bearded face
"Ahem. let's see..."
Madell said tracing the word until she reached the very first sentence in the book. and it was 'once upon a time'
She then read the book to dexter in a motherly tone
The book was a story that Madell would always hear from his mother or someone who is close to her when she was just a child.
It was use to make a child sleep back in her childhood days. knowing that the story she knows and love has been made into a book for the young generation to see is just something that can fill her with happiness enough to last an entire day
The story is about the days where humakey's roamed the devil den to find a place they can call a paradise and home
And there was a humakey named hero which was the leader of their while tribe who ventured to the unknown darkness of the dangerous forest
In his adventure he found a human someone who is weaker than him and his subordinates but the human can converse with him using language of his body
Which is a genius move. for hero to even call the human his brother.
Hero then ventured to the not been explored places in devil den with a new ally... the human
Hero and his team face a lot of hardship and fateful encounters. until they reach the end of their journey finding a place where no danger can lurk
"The end"
Madell said looking at the child who is attentively listening to the story.
'What is she amaze by the story?. I can't blame the child when I was a kid I also have a childhood crush on hero..'
Madell though remembering the past
She then look to the child which slowly opened its mouth and started to speak
'Is Mandell gonna tell me how awesome hero is?.'
Madell thought thinking that the child might have develop a certain feeling to the hero if the story
"Ma'am Mandell why is there a human in the story?"
