Dai Mao being given a name was good news to the two fathers.
Their progress across the ice sheet was slow due to the raging snowstorm and the small size of the cubs. Additionally, developing cubs were always hungry and asking their fathers for food, hence some adults had to leave to hunt. Families with two fathers like Black and White’s had an advantage, one of them could go to hunt, while the other stayed back to protect their cub.
However, a winged person’s sense of smell was not very developed. Their cubs basically looked the same, and when they cuddled together to stay warm, Black and White often found themselves being unable to recognise their cubs.
Fortunately, Meng Jiuzhao was bald and extremely conspicuous, and when they picked him up, he would start calling “Louis, Louis!” and the robust furball Louis would step over all the other furballs with a chirp and jump to his parents.
After Gu Lunza left, they continued walking on the ice for nearly two months, estimated by Meng Jiuzhao according to earth’s calendar. Perhaps due to the high tech used in the repair of his genes, he could now crawl very well. To the people of earth, this could be said to be an impossible feat. Yet his performance did not surprise Black, in fact, the other cubs could already run before he could crawl. (Meng Jiuzhao: o(>_<)o)
When the blizzard stopped, the ice sheets started melting faster. Some of them collapsed to form waterfalls of various sizes. This place was no longer suited for walking.
Just in time, they had walked out of the icefields, and Meng Jiuzhao could see faint browns in the distance– signifying land.
The short time the winged people spent together was now over. With the blizzard gone, they could transform into their original forms to fly away with their cubs with peace of mind. One after another, the winged people flew away from this place. In the end, only the four of them were left.
“It’s just us now.” Watching the last person leave, White turned back and happily said to Black.
“En, it’s just us.”
“Are you sure that everyone has left?” White looked around again.
“En, I’m sure.” Black’s face still had no expression.
“Then what are we waiting for, let’s transform too and quickly go home!” After getting his desired reply, White announced.
Meng Jiuzhao could already understand the gist of the adults’ conversations, and was a little excited to hear these words: He had never flown on a Kantas before! He swallowed a mouthful of drool.
And then–
Meng Jiuzhao was stunned to the point of 囧.
What appeared before him actually turned out to be two large fluffballs!
That’s right! There was no long neck, no sharp eyes, and no wings large enough to cover the sky. Instead, there was no neck, big eyes, and meaty wings that made one wonder if they could really allow the body to fly.
Meng Jiuzhao was speechless.
These- these two were basically minors okay?
Although the human form of Kantas could grow into adults very early on in life, what was used to judge if they were adults was still their original form. These two whose fur had not even shed were very obviously a textbook Kantas cub!
Meng Jiuzhao started worrying about his and Louis’ future.
Translator has something to say:
Today I checked the word count of the chapter raws. Chapters of this length continue until vip, when it doubles. *chuckles* I’m in danger.
This is the third and last release today, I hope you didn’t miss a chapter! (now I need to stockpile again orz)
