My Master Is A Tsundere

They entered deeper and deeper into the forest. Soon, the thick canopy of the trees above have already covered the sun. It was like an entirely new world inside this forest. There were various different animals moving around.

There were squirrels, mice, and even birds flying across the trees. It was certainly a diverse environment. From the distance, a large moose could even be seen. It was so big that you would think that your eyes are deceiving you.

"I've never been this deep into a forest. Are you sure we aren't going the wrong way?"

Rant Valo was only following Floriana Sabina earlier. A week ago, he was following a mud road so he wouldn't get lost. But this was a big forest that cut straight into the direction of the town. They couldn't be sure that they wouldn't become lost.

"Disciple, do you know that I can see the town from here?"

Floriana Sabina asked with a tinge of a smile on her face. As a high-stage cultivator, her Spiritual Sense reaches far and wide.

"Really? Well, I believe you."

Rant Valo was skeptical at first, but he just decided to trust her for once. She already proved to him that she was very strong. Making such claims right now for her is not too much.

"Y-you believe me?"

Floriana Sabina was surprised that Rant Valo immediately believed her. Usually, he would be too untrusting for something ridiculous like that. Of course, for Floriana Sabina, something like that is just common sense.

"Eh? Are you okay? You actually want me to not believe you?"

Rant Valo was puzzled at her response. It felt natural for him to believe her after all that happened.

"N-no. I'm just not used to it, Disciple."

They headed deeper and deeper into the forest. Without them realizing it, the moon has already shown itself above them. The bits and pieces of the moon's rays passed through the canopy of the trees, creating a very beautiful and mesmerizing scene.

"It's like we're seeing a holy light…"

Rant Valo couldn't help but say. He could still remember the descriptions of it from the stories that he was once told when he was young.

"Eek, don't mention that, Master. I felt shivers running up my spine when I heard it."

Veia jumped a little bit when she heard Rant Valo mention 'holy light'. Veia didn't know this, but demons are very weak against this so-called 'holy light'. Her body was simply reacting to it instinctively.

"Anyways, what do you guys want for dinner?"

Floriana Sabina asked both of them. They were already traveling for a long while now. They ought to eat something already.

"A deer?"

Rant Valo immediately suggested. He saw one before and since the predators of this forest seem to always hunt deers, he thought that maybe they tasted delicious.

"Why are you even asking me?"

Veia looked at Floriana Sabina like she was looking at someone purposely making a fight with her.

"Maybe you would like to taste it?"

Floriana Sabina thought that Veia would like to taste the meat once again. After all, nothing happened to Veia after all this while. It's definitely because she only ate a small piece.

"It would probably just taste as bad as the bear meat."

Veia responded with disappointment. Just remembering that she actually risked herself for another session of craziness just to taste bland bear meat is just depressing. If only she knew that her master's sense of taste is bad.

"You are very picky, huh. I wonder what kinds of food you were eating in your past life."

Floriana Sabina thought in wonder. For Veia to have such a sensitive palette could only mean that she was already used to eating very high-end and delicious foods.

"..."

Veia immediately went silent after hearing Floriana Sabina's words. It was something that she didn't like to be reminded about. After all, back in the cave, she just received small bits of her memories of her past life.

"I'm sorry. I thought that you were okay with it already."

Floriana Sabina apologized after seeing Veia act like that. She didn't expect that Veia still hadn't gotten over her past since she seemed chill about it when she learned about it the first time.

"I'm fine, Grandmaster."

Veia flashed a smile onto Floriana Sabina. Floriana Sabina smiled back and they both continued walking forward. Rant Valo was following them from the back and question marks were floating on top of his head. They suddenly had some deep connection at the end that he couldn't understand.

"There's a deer!"

Rant Valo pointed from the back. He was looking around to find one and he finally saw one. The deer was lying under the tree and was hiding behind a small bush. But the bush was not hiding the deer from Rant Valo's perspective. It was totally exposed.

"Disciple, good job!"

Floriana Sabina gave Rant Valo a thumbs up before a huge flaming dragon appeared behind her. The flames were deep orange in color and they lit up this whole part of the forest. The flaming dragon fell on top of the deer and cooked it without any suspense.

"!!"

Rant Valo was alarmed when he saw the huge flames, especially when it hit the bush beside the deer. It was a fire hazard. The whole forest could burn up because of it. He doesn't want to be cooked alive.

"Easy!"

There was a cheeky smile on Floriana Sabina's face as she looked at her deed. She controlled the flames much better compared to when she did it with the bear earlier. The skin was only just slightly burnt.

"Ew."

Rant Valo immediately noticed the melted eyes of the deer. It was so repulsive seeing it like that. The bear before got burnt but this deer just got cooked with its eyes still open wide.

"Yuck."

Floriana Sabina also noticed the eyes of the deer and a ball of fire flew from her hands to the face of the deer. It burned the whole face and the eyes disappeared from their view.

"Well, that's one way to do it."

Rant Valo commented from the side.
