Durin's Diary

Wow, old buddy, we haven't seen each other for so long.

·How about that, genuine as promised, right?

"Yes, but I'm hungry now, I need to go down and eat, Big Orange, how about you?" Durin, who had once again chosen to become a Grassland Elf and then changed back, turned to look at Big Orange.

Having just switched once, Durin felt suddenly hungry: "Could this switching be at the cost of my own body heat."

·You're just dizzy from not eating all day, but also don't switch randomly. Switching too many times in a short period can lead to various adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting, and upset stomach—severe reactions may even cause fainting. I'm going back into your body now; don't you think your body has fully recovered. Oh, and if you can, find me some more Origin Force. I need it to repair this thing and to reactivate its functions.

As the words were spoken, the ball in front of him burrowed into Durin's chest.

Pulling open his pajamas, Durin looked at his smooth chest and then patted it with his hand, finally raising his eyebrows and changing into his clothes before opening the bedroom door.

"That's great, young master has woken up."

As soon as he reached the end of the hallway and stood on the top of the stairs, Durin heard the cheerful cheer of a young girl from downstairs. It was Xialu, Durin's little maid.

When it comes to the name Xialu, it was given by Durin to this current Shatter beast girl standing in front of the kitchen door. Xialu had large, upright ears and a long tail, similar to that of a jungle cat, which is why Durin gave her this name.

"Miss Anta just went home. She stayed at the estate for one night and a day, and her family's carriage also waited for a day," Xialu reported to her young master, the girl with golden hair and beautiful red eyes, speaking quite rapidly.

Anta staying at the estate for a day and a night before leaving was certainly not something Durin would object to—in this era, an unmarried girl spending a night at the estate of the boy she loves would be the ultimate scandal. Durin even thought that if the old folks from the Aye family could not defeat his grandfather, old Yishu, they would have personally come to take Anta back home last night.

But no matter, Durin could send her a message via Hemo.

With that thought, Durin smiled and raised his left hand, a tawny owl landed on his left arm.

This was Hemo, discovered by Durin in the forest a year ago—it was a morning just after the rain had cleared, Durin found wet-to-the-bone Hemo on the ground with two nestlings beside her that had already died.

Durin took her home, raised her, and now she was Durin's magic pet Messenger and the biggest enemy of all wild ducks and pigeons in the Lublin area—because Durin would let her out at night to roam. This girl would hunt pigeons and wild ducks at night and sometimes even bring back whole prey at dawn.

Stroking Hemo, Durin set the big girl on the bird stand and turned to look at his grandfather sitting on the sofa on the first floor.

Narrowing his eyes, Durin saw a summary of his grandfather on the curtain system.

Yishu 'Cutie'·Pharala·Ailish.

Yishu is the name, 'Cutie' must be a nickname, Pharala is the name of his grandmother, and Ailish is the family surname.

Yes, Durin's grandfather was a legend, and because of rank suppression, Durin could only see so much.

Big Orange really wasn't wrong.

And now his grandfather, sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, finally looked up at Durin with a satisfied smile: "My grandchild finally woke up after trying to act tough, though a bit late. If Anta were still here; she would have given you the warmest hug."

Durin felt a little awkward—he had always thought his relationship with Anta was more than friends but not yet lovers, and believed there was a long road ahead for him and her. But everyone in Lublin already treated them as a couple.

It can only be said that this era is truly tolerant about children's feelings.

"By the way, Durin, come here," old Yishu said, putting down the newspaper and telling the butler to get on with his duties. He stretched out his hand, gesturing for Durin to come over.
