Larion - Part 10

Huh? Is it talking about me? Why is it looking at me? Moreover, how come a tiger can talk?

"Master!" The tiger beamed and jumped towards me, licking my face with such glee. Contrary to its excitement, I was terrified.

"Aahh!!" I screamed and threw the tiger away, only feeling guilty when I saw it rolling on the ground.

"Master!" 

The baby tiger quickly got on its feet, smiling and jumping back at me. The word 'master' came out again, and I still had no idea why it was calling me its master. It was my first time seeing a tiger, let alone raising one.

The tiger jumped onto my shoulders, making me fall to the ground as it started to lick my face. I froze, not knowing what to do with the tiger. It didn't seem dangerous, but…

"My, my. Luke will be jealous if he sees this," Maggie joked, didn't even bother to lend me a hand.
