22 Chapter 22 - Conversation with Goldie

While I was waiting for my parents, I did not find any other option but to just talk to Goldie at my parents' house. Arriving near the city, I went to my parents' house. On the way, I thought about why Goldie ran to her aunt if she didn't want to come back. Maybe she knew that they would be looking for her and therefore decided to warn them that she would not return again. I don't know any other option. I think I'll ask Goldie everything.

Going home, I went to my room. If my parents pass, I'll have time to hide Goldie. Entering the room and closing the door, I said:

- All Goldie can go out. - (I)

Goldie emerged from the amulet and then changed from a fox to a fox girl. Now if you look at it, she looks like an ordinary child. Only she has fox ears and a tail. I also noticed a gold diamond on her forehead. In the form of a fox, she also had this sign, but in a different form. I have not seen such a diamond in other beastmen. Could this mean that Goldie is special?

Okay, for now, start our quiz.

- Okay, Goldie, let's talk .- (I)

"Why were you all this time in the form of a fox, and not turned into a man, or better to say, into a beast-man? - (I)

- I was afraid - Goldie said shyly

"It's good to be afraid. Okay, another question. Why did you run away from home? - (Goldie)

"I heard that someone important would come to our village and I would be married to his son. So I wanted to run away, but I got caught .- (Goldie)

- I see ... What do you know about your parents? - (I)

-Nothing. Aunt Tai doesn't say anything when I ask about my parents. - (Goldie)

- Why did you go to your aunt then if you didn't want to go home? - (I)

"I wanted to tell her that I found the place I dreamed of. I often told her this about what I dream about and I also knew that she would look for me. I decided that I'd rather say it right now, that's all .- (Goldie)

- And you were not afraid that they would take you away from me by force? - (I)

"You are very strong and I was not afraid." Goldie said with a smile.

This is strange. It smells like something very strange. The first is that Goldie is clearly different from the others. The second is that her parents died when Goldie was clearly a year or two.

What if this Taisiya plotted the murder of Goldie's parents in order to benefit from Goldie. Maybe she wanted to marry her off to someone and thereby gain power in a clan or sect. It turns out that Goldie is clearly not allowed to return home. She also considers me as a father and Lily as a mother. Now, looking at Goldie, I imagine that she really is my daughter. I took care of her all the time. Pavda, I took care of her not as a daughter, but as a beloved pet. Yes, and she considers me a father, and I do not want to tell her that I will not accept her as a daughter, otherwise I will not be who I am. I have read somewhere on earth and I don't remember, but I remembered it for a long time - "The parent is not the one who gave birth, but the one who brought up." I think I have already accepted the fact that she is my daughter, though not my own. I wonder how Lily will react to that. Maybe Goldie will bring Lily and me closer. Still, children can bring parents closer, even if they are in deep litter.

"Okay, Goldie. But you still have to hide in the amulet. Good? - (I)

"Well why." Goldie said and made a displeased pug.

-Goldy understand that you are a beast-man, and in our kingdom there are no beast-men, and if there are, then only as a slave .- (I)

"Okay, dad." When Goldie said "Dad," I felt warmth. Even when I was 18 years old on earth, I sometimes dreamed of having a family, and now perhaps my dreams are beginning to come true.

Then I felt that my parents were going to the house. Apparently they have already finished their business and are going home. I quickly told Goldie to transform into a fox and hide in the amulet.

When my parents came, I took all the things they had prepared in my "Shadow Pocket". When the parents saw how things disappear, they were at a loss, but I told them that I used the skill to hide things. Then I took my parents towards the forest. At first they were confused saying "Why are we going there?", But I said that we would fly to the capital. You should have seen the face when they heard "fly." Going deep into the forest and did not feel anyone around, I called Fly. A lot of black fog came out of my shadow and quite quickly a bird, or a phoenix to be exact, formed from the black fog. It had a length of more than 15 meters and a width of several meters, and if it spreads its wings, it will be even wider. When he appeared, my parents began to step back.

"S-sam what is it?" My mom said and pointed at Fly.

"I'm sorry I forgot to warn you. Do not be afraid this is Fly and he is very kind. - I said, and when I approached Fly, he lowered his head, and I just stroked it. Fly always seemed to me as kind and active as a child. Because of this, I began to think that every shadow that is worth a lot has its own character and its own personality. For example, when I hunted with Lucifer, he seemed to me to be someone who loves battles. I think I need to buy more eyeshadow to find out if I'm right.

-But who is this son-Dad said.

"This is Fly, he is my pet." I lied. I don't think they'll be happy when they find out that I can revive a corpse. Although sooner or later they will find out and it is better to say this after meeting Lily.

- Okay, sit on his back - I said jumping on the back of Fly, and the parents have already climbed the wing.

All the way to the capital, Mom asked me about Lily. I answered all the questions that Mom asks. I already want to see how happy Lily will be with someone as a parent. I want her to feel parental love.
