Chapter 784


    They were pigeon-like creatures


    Rahle had brought two of them.


    The two small birds were flapping their wings on the ground. And as Liza said, they were shaking with fear as they looked at Leo.


    Tilura was wondering if they were Rahle’s children...but I doubted it.


    Besides, their feathers were gray, unlike Rahle. And their beaks were not sharp either.


    They were smaller than Sherry. Small heads with round bodies... They looked like pigeons to me.


    “Oh, Rahle has landed. We should just ask about them.”


    “Yes. Rahle!”


    “Kii!”


    Rahle seemed very happy to see Tilura again.


    It immediately spread out its wings and enveloped her.


    “Wou...”


    “Leo. You played with her a lot when Rahle was gone. Besides, it’s not like Tilura doesn’t like you anymore.”


    “You have me, mama!”


    “Wuff.”


    Those herbs were in the book that I had borrowed, and so I knew of their effects. But I didn’t know they could also be used to treat petrification.


    “Did Rahle bring them as food?”


    “Uh, I don’t know? We will just have to wait and ask about it.”


    “Yes... But I have heard that grown Cockatrices are delicious. But they are difficult to catch...”


    “Pii!?”


    “Pii!”


    While I didn’t think it was the case... I suppose it was possible that Rahle brought them back as a gift.


    “Kii! Kii! Kii!”


    “I see. So that’s why!”


    “Tilura. What did Rahle say?”


    “Umm...”


    A moment later, Tilura was released from Rahle’s embrace, and was able to talk.


    And so we were able to learn the reason.


    The whole time, Leo was staring at the small birds... And while it was probably in order to monitor them, she did seem to be drooling a little. Perhaps it was because she heard Sebastian saying that they tasted good...
