Adventurer's Guild Café: I Was Wrongfully Exiled by the Saint, So I Will Enjoy My Second Life with My Fluffy Friends-Chapter 2V .1 .3 - Lulu’s Anger
The rumor that a mythical beast had come to the dungeon apparently spread through the town in no time. Even at the café, that topic had recently been all anyone talked about. I wonder if Kiril is okay...
“Still, I wonder what it means that the mythic beast is weakened,”
said Rouge-san, who had come to the café, murmuring as she drank her coffee.
“Is it unusual for a mythic beast to be weakened?”
“Mythical beasts are strong, so they don’t get sick. So if they’re weakened, the cause must be external, right?”
“Ah...”
“Maybe someone tried to forcibly hunt it or something.”
I happened to glance at Lulu. She was making happy chirping noises as Rouge-san stroked her fluffy fur with her finger. The Mokomotts were sulking and napping in the sunlight because they couldn’t have their tasty snacks.
“Lulu, you were injured when I first met you too, right...?”
“Ruu?”
Her leg had been broken, but at that time, I believe a healing magician had treated it.
“Lulu, that injury back then, why was it...”
“Guruu!”
“Wah!”
Lulu suddenly bared her teeth and growled, startling both me and Rouge-san into raising our voices.
“Wh-what’s wrong? Did I stroke a weird spot or something?”
Lulu’s fur was standing on end.
We were so shocked that both me and Rouge-san exchanged looks, dumbfounded.
“Lulu...?”
It seemed that the talk about her past injury didn’t sit well with her.
Noticing how flustered we were, Lulu quickly deflated and returned to her usual self.
“Kyu-roon.”
She lowered her ears, as if apologizing.
“Y-You startled me...”
Seeing Lulu back to normal, I let out a relieved sigh. Now that I think about it, I believe Lulu growled a lot when we talked about the Saintess before...
“Hey, Lulu, were you hurt too?”
Rouge-san whispered to me. I nodded in response.
“Yes, when we first met, her leg was broken. While I was tending to it, she warmed up to me.”
“...Now that I think about it, the story about there being a Carbuncle in the Aluda Kingdom is kind of strange, too.”
Rouge-san tilted her head. Her flame-like red hair gently swayed.
“Also, Lulu is a mythical beast, so she should heal right away even if she gets hurt.”
Rouge-san muttered softly.
“...Could there have been something that hindered her healing?”
“Something, you say?”
“Could it be that someone deliberately hurt her? It was the same with Pipi and the others, right?”
“Eh?”

No way. There’s no one who would do something as cruel as breaking her leg... Just as I was about to say that.
“Excuse me, Kuna-san, could I have a word?”
“Yes?”
When I turned around, Ellen-san was standing there with a troubled expression.
“Well, it seems that Kiril-san has come back.”
“! Kiril-san, is he okay!?”
“He came back just fine, no injuries or anything. But he asked for you to come. In the Guild Master’s office, Master, Kiril-san, and Gier-san are waiting for you.”
Ellen-san looked at me with a worried expression.
Once again, I exchanged glances with Rouge-san.
