Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 136 Good Doggie!

?

It was rare for Esong to get a visit from his wife at the school. What amused him even more was the little girl on her laps who was dressed similarly to her. From a distance, he smiled and took a picture before asking himself what he was doing but he kept the picture anyway. He walked toward his wife that was sitting on a foldable titanium chair reading a physical book to the little girl.

"Hmm," he cleared his throat.

"Hello, my husband." She responded without looking up.

"Did you give me another child overnight? I don't recall having a daughter." He replied in a slightly playful tone.

"No," she closed the book that had childish images of animals on the top cover. "But I will want one in the future so take that into consideration. It's not something we have discussed after all."

Esong looked at the little girl that was dressed in a yellow dress like his wife, they made a cute pair together. But he also knew that adding another child to their complicated situation right now was not necessarily the best thing for them both. It was another confirmation to him though that she was not considering any form of divorce or separation from him. "Do you want another child or a female child specifically?"

"I would prefer female but even if its male, I would love it anyway. But like I said in the future like thirty years away, I want to be the queen of the mecha fights first. By the way when were you going to tell me that someone is trying to harm me?" She slid that little tidbit right in there smoothly.

Esong's gaze moved to Tion and he raised both eyebrows.

"It was for her own protection general." Tion answered the unvoiced question. "She attempted and then successfully drunk an unknown liquid."

"Don't you have people for this?" Esong questioned Tion.

Scarlet was not particularly happy about not being addressed directly and she made it known by hitting Esong's leg lightly with the book. "Don't ask him ask me I am sitting right here and I am responsible for my safety as much as he is..."

"Scarlet look what I found." She heard Severus's voice in her head and she broke off whatever tirade she was about to break into. Her eyes roamed around, searching for Severus who she appeared on the peripherals of her eyes, running toward her with a group of at least six hunters judging by their uniforms running after him.

"Oh Severus what have you done?" She asked worriedly.

"I found it first but they want to take my glory, I will never let it happen." Severus replied and he dropped a fat white animal at her feet.

"About your safety.."

"Not now Esong, let us first deal with this." She tapped his thigh twice then she squatted down to examine the fat white animal with tiny horns that were probably not useful to it. Not unless they could elongate when it was in danger.

"It looks like a sheep." She said. When she tried to touch it her hand was stopped. "Let go of my hand Esong, I have touched more dangerous thing than this harmless ball of fur. Please respect my skills." She added the last bit in a soft voice.

He let go and she used her hands to examine the sheep. To the utter dismay of everyone around, she parted it's legs and peeped in between. Did animals not have the right to privacy?

 "It's male," She looked at Esong whose face was dismayed with a smile, "It's alive, in good shape and healthy if we can find a female then we can breed them. There are no physical injuries on it's body which means you did not harm it, good doggie." She patted Severus's head and kissed it.

"We found it governor." One of the hunters said proudly.

"Yes, it tried to run but the dog caught it." Another said.

She looked up, giving them cold and curious looks. "What was it doing when you found it?"

"Feeding." One said.

"Sleeping." The other said. Both men spoke up at the same time, giving different answers which made their little story fall apart immediately. One cannot sleep and eat at the same time.

Esong pointed his broad sword at them and warned in an angry voice, "Let this be the first and last time you attempt to lie to your governor." 

"We are sorry," the one who said he found the sheep sleeping apologized, trembling in fear. "We spotted something with our heat seeking goggles and before we could find out what it was, the dog came racing past us, took the animal and run. we just thought that since we had spotted it first then credit for the find was still ours technically." 

"So you didn't stop to look and find out if there are other similar looking animals around. There could be a whole flock of sheep on the move right now that we are missing because credit is more important to you than anything else." Scarlet rebuked them sternly. "Return to your posts immediately, I will be joining the search and if I discover what you failed to find I will not be giving you credit but rather subtracting five coins each from your salaries this month." 

The hunters took off running, heading back into the blue forest but she knew too well that they would not be able to beat her at the hunting game. 

"Did you find more?" she asked Severus. 

"I counted, they are around twenty on the move heading west to the ravine. This one was probably left behind because it was weak, I want it for dinner." Severus's tongue licked his sharp teeth. 

"Is that why you also decided to rush and leave the rest of the flock behind?" she pulled on his ear gently. 

lightsn?v?l "I am not your employee, I find, you catch. There is also a good number of souls hiding in the ravine, I can sense some level one to three soul eaters. Do you want to hunt?" He looked in the direction of the forest where he could sense the souls. "The innocent ones which are being preyed on are in pain." 

"Let's hunt." she said. Standing up, she told Esong, "I have to find the rest of the flock, someone take this fellow to the pasture and make sure he gets some water and food. " She looked at Sia who she had temporarily sat on the chair, "Oh," she said, "Another person should return this little darling to the day care Centre or find the manager of the commercial kitchen, that's her mother. Be certain that you hand her off to the mother directly, I do not want to hear anything about a lost or kidnapped child." 

Sia was crying when she was taken away wanting to remain with Scarlet but how could she take a child into the forest.

"I am going with you." Esong replied. 

"Me too." Tion said. 

"Is there anything I can say right now which will deter you?" she asked them. 

Both men shook their heads. "We can take my mecha, it will be faster."

Scarlet's face turned green.
