39. An Accident Occurred

Translator: Ann Yi

Hearing Larry’s painful howling, Frost felt his heart was broken. He wished that he would suffer the pain for Larry.

“Little fox…”

Frost murmured.

After a while.

“The little fox’s injury is almost cured. The important thing now for him is to get some nutrition.” Humberto pulled out all the gold needles from Larry’s body, stood up and said to them.

Murk, “Meow. (The little fox made it. I’m so happy.)”

Mirrocle saw that Murk was so happy and he also laughed.

Murk, “Meow, Meow. (You idiot, are you laughing because I’m laughing?)”

Slap!

Murk’s claws hit Mirrocle’s head.

Mirrocle looked at Murk in confusion and thought, “Did I do anything wrong?”

“Don’t get too close to him, as that will hinder his recuperation.” Humberto said when Frost was about to walk to Larry’s side.

Frost was worried about Larry and asked, “How is he doing?”

“Don’t worry! The gold needles never make mistakes.” Humberto had complete faith in himself.

Frost was relieved to hear him say that, but he saw that Larry seemed to be in great pain.

“Why is he like this?” Frost had been watching Larry, but suddenly he saw that the little fox was vomiting. He pulled Humberto to Larry’s side in panic and showed him the vomiting fox.

When Humberto saw that, he said seriously, “Apart from you, everyone else goes out.”

Mirrocle wanted to ask what was going on but when he saw the expression on Humberto’s face, he didn’t say anything and walked out with Murk in his arms.

“You stay there and wait. I’m going to need your help.” Humberto said to Frost and squatted beside Larry.

Frost stood beside them worriedly and stared at Larry.

“Come over. Cut your finger and drip two drops of blood onto this gold needle.” Humberto put a gold needle in front of Frost.

Although Frost wanted to know why Humberto asked him to do that, he restrained his thought.

Right now, all that he desired was to see Larry jumping lively in front of him.

“You can go out now. No one shall come in without my permission.” After Humberto got Frost’s blood, he ordered him to leave.

Even though Frost was reluctant to leave, he knew that Humberto told him to get out for Larry’s own good. He looked lovingly at Larry before he walked out.

“How did it go?”

Mirrocle asked when Frost came out.

Murk, “Meow… (Is the little fox…?)”

Now Frost couldn’t understand what Murk was saying. Mirrocle didn’t understand it either, but when he saw that Murk seemed to be worried, he caressed Murk’s hair.

Murk hit Mirrocle’s hand without hesitation.

Murk, “Meow. (Take away your stinky hand.)”

Frost saw how lively Murk was and remembered how lively the little fox was just a few days ago.

After a while, Humberto came out.

“How did it go?” Frost was the first one to ask.

“He’s alright now. You can go in and look after him. If things don’t go wrong, the little fox will turn into a human in a few days, but the premise is that he eats and sleeps well. Feed him nutritious food that we humans eat.” Humberto said to Frost considerately.

Frost remembered that the little fox did not like eating raw food.

“Thank you.” After Frost said this, he walked in.

Mirrocle also wanted to go in and see Larry but he was stopped by Humberto.

“You have more important things to do. You should not go in and interrupt them.”

Murk, “Meow, Meow. (That’s right. Larry is way out of your league, humph.)”

If Larry was here, he would definitely say, “Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff! (Come on, Murk, you’re just being jealous!)”

Mirrocle stayed outside in disappointment.

In the room…

“Little fox, get better quickly.” Frost gently stroked Larry’s fur.

Larry felt very comfortable while being stroked. He instinctively looked at Frost’s hand a few times before he fell asleep.

“You sleepyhead.” Frost laughed.

He gently picked him up and walked outside.

“Meow, Meow. (The little fox doesn’t seem to be in so much pain now. That’s just great.)”

Murk looked at the little fox with envy.

He turned around, glanced at Mirrocle, and felt he was speechless.

When Mirrocle saw how much Larry relied on Frost, he felt a little upset. But when he saw Murk, he suddenly didn’t feel that way anymore.

“Thank you.” Frost thanked Mirrocle sincerely.

“Don’t mention it.” Mirrocle said plainly.

“I’m taking the little fox home. If you need me, come and find me at my place.” Frost didn’t give them time to react and carried Larry back home.

By the time Larry woke up, it was already noon the next day.

“Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! (Ah! It doesn’t seem to hurt anymore. And it feels so comfortable.)”

“Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! (I didn’t expect Humberto to be so powerful.)”

“Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (Right, where’s Frost? He couldn’t abandon me when I’m in such a bad shape, right? Ah!)”

Frost came out of the kitchen when he heard the voice. When he saw how pitiful Larry looked, he laughed.

“I thought you would sleep for a much longer time, but you’re awake now.”

When Larry saw Frost, his eyes opened wide. And then he came to his senses, “Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (I want a hug and a kiss, and I want to be raised high!)”

Frost seemed to understand what Larry said. He walked over, hugged him, kissed him on his face, and said, “You are not fully recovered yet. Let’s skip the last part.”

Larry’s eyes were gleaming with joy. Frost smiled, gently stroked Larry and said, “You sit here. I’ll go make you some food.”

“Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (I want cooked food. Cooked food!)”

Larry looked at Frost desperately.

Larry was a human. Even if he was a little fox now, it couldn’t change the fact that he liked eating cooked food.

“Got it. I’ll make you cooked food.” Frost gently patted his little head and said.

After Frost left, Larry felt confused. ‘Why do I feel that Frost’s attitude towards me has changed a lot?’

‘Ah! Forget it.’

“Tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff! (Where did Murk go? Did his go home with his previous owner? He isn’t that ungrateful, is he?) ”

“Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! (Now that he isn’t around, who else am I gonna make fun of?)”

Frost seemed to hear what Larry said and leaned out from the kitchen and said, “Murk went home with Mirrocle.”
