Animal Tamer's Dominion-Chapter 33: Family Bonding

Keni stepped out of the adventurers' guild, his eyes mimicking annoyance, as he stepped into the rays of the evening sun.

That crazy receptionist lady had suddenly made his life gone upside down with the quest she had given him. And the worst of it all, he can't deny it.

" Sigh," A low, soft sigh escaped his lips as he decided not to think too much about it anymore.

He then scoured around, almost like he was in search of something, or someone. He had left Pheia, Leia and Leo outside to wait for him till he was done.

He had asked for them to wait outside for him till he was done inside. And now that he was finished, he began to wonder as to where they could have gone.

After look around, only to find the cool evening breeze and a few villagers passing by, he began to panic.

What of those slave traders were back and had taken them?!

What if they were kidnapped?!

As his mind and heart began to wonder around with possibilities of them being lost, he suddenly heard a loud shout that made his heart skip a beat.

" Kenji-sama! Look!" Pheia dahsed towards Kenji, her tiny fingers clutching against some wild flowers. The wild flowers mimicked her joyful exppression, along with her big blue crystal eyes. Her hair bounced up and down, as her tiny body dahsed towards him.

Following closely behind Pheia, was Leia, a mischievous grin etched on her face as she came running with her hands clutching some colourful little rocks that looked exactly like crystals.

As the two ran, Leo followed suit, as he held onto a stuffed dragon toy, which, by its looks alone, had seen better days.

The three children ran off to Kenji, as their faces expressed immense excitement.

" Aww! Is this for me?" Keni exclaimed, as he looked right at the beautiful flowers that Pheia had gotten for him. He took them from her hands and placed them close to his nose, enjoying the sweet fragrance of the flowers.

Seeing Kenji only focusing on Pheia, the other two siblings immediately pouted their lips and looked away, they seemed a bit jealous that Kenji was only looking at Pheia's gift.

Kenji chuckled softly as he witnessed the sight. Even with their pouted lips and their annoyed face, they still looked as cute as ever.

He then moved closer to them and placed his head in between Leia and Leo's head, allowing his head to rest of their shoulders.

" Now, you two little rascals, what do you have their that you think you can hide from your Sama?" Kenji questioned, a playful smile etched on his face.

The two children suddenly had a flustered look on their faces, as their cheeks became as red as a tomato.

The two then turned around, facing both Kenji and their sister. They then outstretched their palms out and opened them, revealing beautiful items.

Leia's hands contained that of tiny little colourful block-like rocks that seemed just like gems and diamonds.

Leo on the other hand had a small dragon toy at hand. It seemed a bit dirty, with some parts of it torn. One would begin to wonder where he had found such a toy.

" All of these are great! I love them all!," Keni exclaimed, ruffling the hair of the three kids in a playful manner. The children smiled proudly as Kenji rubbed their heads. It was like they had just won a trophy after a long and hard competition.

" Alright, now that you guys have gone on your treasure hunting and brought me back such treasure, how about we go and have a picnic?" Kenji suggested with great joy.

" A picnic? Yeah!"

" Yes, yes, a picnic would be nice,"

" Then you'll tell us a story!"

" Alright, alright, let's go then, I think a saw a nice spot while we were coming here," Kenji said, as he suddenly grabbed Leo and placed him on top of his neck.

" Ahh!" Leo exclaimed, as he felt himself being carried and dropped on something hard. His eyes were closed, but when he opened them, he found himself sitting on top of Kenji's shoulder. A small smile creeping up by the side of his face.

" Now, you two, your hands," Kenji said, as he outstretched his hands, and without wasting a single moment, the two little girls placed tgeir tiny little hands into his hands.

Kenji then walked off, heading over to the picnic spot that he had sighted before.

••••••

As they arrived at the spot, Kenji brought out a little mat and some food from his spacial ring. He then brought Leo down from his shoulders and placed him onto the ground.

" Alright buddy, help me in setting up the picnic," Kenji said. And immediately, they got to it.

As the males did the set-up, the girls had something else planned in mind.

" I'm going to build Kenji-sama the tallest house in the world!" Leia said, as she placed her block-like rocks on to the ground and began to lay them on top of each other.

" No! I'm going to build Kenji-sama the biggest house in the world, and I'll add flowers to it!" Pheia said, as she went around to look for more of the block-like rocks and when she found some, she immediately got to building.

The two girls would then add some other accessories to their little " house ".

After a while, Kenji and Leo had finished setting up the picnic and were ready to begin.

" Alright girls, it's time to eat," It was already getting dark, and the stars had begun to show themselves, as the little family stayed under their celestial light.

" Kenji-sama! Look! I built you a big house!" Leia said, getting up to show Kenii her master piece, a big cheeks jumping up with every step.

" No! Mine is bigger, look Kenji-sama!" Pheia said, not wanting to lose to her twin sister.

Seeing the girls competing playfully, Kenji smiled at them," both your houses look great! So I can't choose, then how about I take them both?" Kenji said, as he patted their heads in happiness.

He hadn't been so happy since appearing in this world. But after meeting these three little angels, a smile just seemed to not leave his face.

The little girls smiled joyfully, as Kenji praised them. They wished this moment never ended.

Suddenly, Kenji felt a tug on his shirt, and when he looked to see why, he found Leo lightly tugging on his shirt.

" C- can you tell us a story?" He asked, his voice faint, but audible.

Kenji smiled at him," sure buddy, what kind of story would you like to hear?"

Hearing Kenji's approval, Leo's eyes brightened with excitement," a story with a dragon!"

" And a handsome prince!" Pheia said, chipping into the idea of a story.

" And a cute children!" Leia said with excitement in her voice.

" Alright, alright. How about I tell you a story about a handsome knight with three cute kids and a fearsome dragon!" Kenji said, wrapping the children closer to him in a cuddle.

" Yay!"

And just like that, under the starry sky, the only sound that could be audible was the low sound of crickets and Kenji telling a story, more familiar than he claimed it to be.
