This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 172
Still, I know what the sound actually means because I have tamed it.
Ragon is in a great mood after receiving my praise.
“Coo coo coo.”
As I scratched under Ragon’s beak, Ragon flapped its wings excitedly.
Hmm.
The wind was too strong.
My hair was wildly tousled, but it made a strong impression.
“W-Wow─!”
A reaction came from Abeno immediately.
“A-Amazing!”
The usually indifferent Abeno’s eyes, which had been half-closed, widened.
His already large eyes now seemed twice as big as before.
Buzz buzz.
Abeno jumped up from his seat and swung his arms like a child.
“The monster is listening to you!”
At that moment, Riantine quickly added,
“That’s Erylotte’s second blessing, the <Monster Taming> ability.”
Riantine’s voice was filled with pride.
‘Why are you so proud?’
For some reason, Riantine’s expression looked like a father boasting about his child.
The noisy garden turned into my stage as I tamed Ragon like a cute puppy.
“Could you bring some grapes?”
I said to the servant who was watching us nervously, and he responded loudly.
“Yes!”
It wasn’t long before the servant returned with a silver tray full of grapes.
‘It would look better to give the grapes one by one, but that wouldn’t be enough for Ragon.’
If it were the size of a normal crow, one bunch of grapes would be fine, but for the monster Ragon, a single one was too small.
“Here, Ragon! Treat!”
Whoosh!
I threw the entire bunch of grapes high into the air, and Ragon leaped up.
Snap!
Thud!
Ragon caught the bunch of grapes in mid-air, but the jump made the ground shake.
People stumbled.
‘The show should be grand.’
It was an unintended dramatic effect.
Ragon wagged his tail happily.
‘He loves grapes the most.’
The first time I gave Ragon grapes, I thought the house would collapse…
“Ragon, this is a grape. You’ve never had one before, right?”
“Caw caw.”
“Here. Good, you’re eating well.”
“Caw!”
“One more? Okay.”
“Caw caw!”
“One more…? Hmm.”
“Caw caw!”
“One… more? Okay.”
“Caw caw!”
“Another? No, too many and─”
“Caw-caw-caw! Caw-caw-caw-caw!”
“Aaah! Miss, the jurisdiction is collapsing!”
“…….”
It was a dizzying memory.
I felt a very intense gaze nearby.
“I want to try too!”
Of course, it was Abeno.
His eyes were shining brightly like never before.
As if he could shoot beams from his eyes!
I put on my best hosting smile and stepped back a few steps from Ragon.
Then I picked up a bunch of grapes from the silver tray held by the servant.
Abeno ran to me.
I almost felt like I could see a tail wagging behind him.
‘He’s like a puppy too.’
Earlier he was like a sullen and proud cat, but now he looked like a curly black poodle.
Today must be a day for watching puppies.
I held back my laughter and explained.
“You have to throw the grapes from here. If you get too close, it might chew you up, bones and all.”
“Okay!”
Okay? Why does he look happier?
For some reason, he seemed even more excited at the idea of being chewed up, bones and all.
‘Well, boys at this age do like scary things.’
Like dinosaurs or transforming robots.
The bigger and more frightening, the more they like it.
I expected him to like it, but the effect was better than I thought.
Abeno, with a very determined face, adjusted the bunch of grapes in his hand to make it easier to throw.
‘He looks like he’s about to enter a shot put competition.’
He was extremely serious.
Not only did he adjust his grip on the grapes, but he also repeated the throwing motion several times as if practicing a simulation.
‘There are plenty of grapes, just throw it already.’
Ragon was also getting anxious, stamping its feet because Abeno kept acting like he was about to throw but didn’t.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
“Okay. I’m going to throw it now!”
With his cheeks flushed red, Abeno threw the bunch of grapes.
Whoosh!
Splat!
“Pfft!”
I heard someone laugh, but fortunately, the sound was drowned out by Ragon’s flapping wings.
“Ah! So close!”
Actually, it wasn’t close at all.
The grapes didn’t even reach Ragon.
However, Abeno felt he had narrowly missed, trembling with regret as he stamped his feet.
Ragon was the same.
Ragon hesitated, contemplating whether to eat the grapes on the ground, but when Abeno picked up another bunch, it quickly raised its head.
“This time for real!”
Whoosh!
Splat.
“Ah! What went wrong?”
With a tearful face, Abeno threw the grapes again.
Whoosh!
Splat!
After failing three times, I stepped in.
While achieving something on your own is important…
‘It’s such a waste of grapes.’
