There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 112: Starting Up (2)

Chapter 112: Starting Up (2)

The atmosphere was thick with tension inside the Adriha Clan’s infirmary, the place where the two Nereens (the child and the golden husky) were staying.

Three figures are seen sitting and encircling a wooden bed, where a certain mutt was sitting stiffly. Its ears are standing to its ends and its pair of green eyes are evading the stares of everyone in the room, especially the fair-skinned bearer who’s sitting leisurely with his legs crossed.

The bearer appears to be singing or humming, or a mixture of those two.

"Let’s kill this hmmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah." Luis merrily sang his super ultimate favourite song by a certain phenomenal girl group back in his previous world. What should he do when he was bored and he needs to lessen the tension in the room? Of course, sing the most bad ass song that he know!

"Rum, pum pum pum," a child followed based on the melody that he learned from the moon elf lord. Luis chuckled and ruffled the hair of the little boy, ’His idol’s music really transcends worlds!’

The boy with bright silver eyes and an almost stick-thin body was sitting innocently on the lap of the handsome male with gorgeous tan skin. His long and wavy crimson-red hair is swaying a little as he plays with his short pair of legs.

Xagrien who was sitting beside the moon elf lord, looked at Luis, who’s acting carefree, with doting eyes and then at the shining golden dog.

"So, have you calmed yourself now? It’s been a while since you’ve woken up. Are you convinced now that you didn’t die?" Luis asked the dog who visibly flinched after hearing the words of the moon elf lord.

"Ahhh, this is quite irritating. Is that how you should act towards your saviour?"

"The moon elf lord is a good person!" Says the kid, beaming. He wakes up momentarily for a few occasions these days and most of the time, Luis will make time to meet and play with him.

Luis raised a brow at the awkward golden fur doggy. Rean met them at the entrance of the territory to let them know that Nereen or First (the dog) is finally awake. His soul finally settled in the God of Life’s Oopsie Doll and Luis’ power finally integrated with this fellow’s new body after less than a week. It was a long wait but thankfully, today finally marks the end of Nereen/First’s coma.

"Everyone was waiting for you to come back," Xagrien said, his masculine voice hinting little of his emotion and Luis knew that it was happiness and relief.

"Did they know?" The dog asked straight from its mouth. If it was anyone else, then there will be a wide gap in their mouths. Marveling at the fact that a fluffy dog can talk.

Xagrien didn’t take a minute to answer, "I gave them hints. I left the entire storytelling of your resurrection for you."

"Did they know that I betrayed them?"

The dog lowered its ears, looking dejected.

Luis looked at the pathetic face of the husky. Seriously, this new look is giving Nereen the absolute advantage against him! How can he exploit this fellow when he is bought by the dog’s fluffy cuteness?

"Not yet," Luis answered, trying his best to achieve that serious expression on his face. "Just like Xagrien said, the decision will be left to you. You are already free from the clutches of that Isami-dude."

The Nereen/First was silent after hearing that familiar name. Truthfully speaking, he had already welcomed his death the moment he was sucked into that magic circle. He knew in his guts that the last strand of his existence will disappear after that night so the fact that he is alive right now, albeit in an entirely different and non-humanoid body 4⁴ him question his worldviews.

The flesh in his paws felt so real and the fur that covers his body looked natural. First look at the moon elf lord with complicated feelings. If the moon elf lord can do this miracle then this newborn lord undoubtedly surpassed Lord Isami from the very beginning.

A strong chill crept up his spine. He wonders what kind of supreme existence will the moon elf lord becomes after years passed.

"Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about your previous master?" Luis couldn’t help but ask. A part of his subconscious is vaguely connected to this fellow’s mind so he can spy just a little. "I don’t want to come out as apathetic but I think there’s a need to remind you that your dear former master threw you away."

"Besides, the reason why I saved you was mainly because of the sentiments of your friends and this little boy so in my opinion, you must be a great individual. Hence, you are worth saving." Luis’ pretty face almost instantly became dark. He used his both palms to cover the little kid’s ears and hissed. "But that trust is not unconditional. Think of going back to your old master and I will not hesitate to slowly kill you."

Xagrien’s eyes flashed a look of satisfaction as if he was proud of the toughness that the moon elf lord is showing.

On the other hand, the husky’s fluffy gold fur stood to its ends upon feeling the gravity of the moon elf lord’s threat. His innate fear of death was triggered by these words, giving him a chill that even lord Isami in a crazed state cannot make him feel.

However, he stood his ground despite the oppressive feeling that was coming from Luis. "T-then what do you want from me?"

If there are any traits that he liked the most, then they are courage, bravery, and persistence. Luis tried his best not to nod his head and show a hint of favor to this guy. He didn’t plan to act amiable for this dude like the way he did with Manulus. Before anything else, they are once enemies.

Luis doesn’t want to come across as a pushover to this fellow no matter how loyal and honest he looks and no matter how strong his impulse to played with Nero’s golden fluff. Damn doggy visual. This is obviously a pitfall for him.

So the moon elf lord truthfully discussed most of the aspects of his resurrection. Of course, Luis didn’t say anything about the existence of his system and he emphasized the fact that he will be his slave for life.

"You should know how lucky you are to be presented with that opportunity," Xagrien uttered with almost perceptible envy in his voice.

Luis could only roll his eyes at the man. This man is unbelievable. Of course, Luis is well aware why this male god is acting this way. It just that, he never thought that Xagrien is like this when jealous. But he must admit this side of this man is a bit entertaining.

It made him realize how pretty he is all over again.

"Ehem," Luis cleared his throat while trying his best not to show any smile and played the tips of his black hair with his finer. ’Damn you, Xagrien. I want to bite you!’

Nereen/First was in the gray about anything happening between his taciturn friend and the moon elf lord. He only considers this statement as a reaction to having a second life.

"Moon elf lord..." Nereen the little kid, looked at Luis aggrievedly.

"Well, even though he is a good person, he still committed a crime. So punishment is needed to be served to maintain fairness."

Luis then looked at the adorable husky. "If you decided to come with me, then I will let you experience freedom. You are free to live with your friends. I also need to inform you that your friends already formed a clan of their own."

Luis gave out a perfect set up to start over to this poor loyal subordinate of his enemy. Because he is certain that once he gained the loyalty of this guy, then it will be solid. It’s worth the risk and generosity.

The husky looked at Xagrien with disbelief and the man only answered with a nod.

The taciturn man generously added, "Lune Clan. That is our clan’s name."

Nereen/First was shocked to learn about this while deep inside, he is genuinely happy. His friends could finally settle down in a much safer environment. ’Especially the children...’ he thought as his line of sight stopped at the dozing kid on the moon elf lord’s lap.

"Your group already has a name, what about you?" Luis asked more gently this time.

The husky slowly moved his tail from left to right, seemingly in deep thought. "I’ll just use the name First."

"No!" The little child abruptly answered, turns out, he is still awake and listening to the words of the adults.

Luis shrugged his shoulders, "We stand on the same opinion."

Xagrien answered, "Same."

The cute big mutt was speechless. What name should he use? Nereen is a name that he borrowed from his host, this poor little child and First was a name given by Lord Isami.

Although there is reluctance on his part to use that name, in his mind and heart, that is the only name he knows.

Luis was far from oblivious about the concerns of this fluffy fellow so he timely stepped in.

"Why don’t we think of a new name that is derived from Nereen’s name then?" Luis uttered, he rubbed his chin for a while then said, "Why don’t you take the name, Nero?"

The husky’s ears perked upon hearing the name. It sounded great and his guts tell him that this is a perfect fit for him.

Honestly, Luis came up with this name after taking the first syllable of Nereen’s name and upon remembering a famous emperor’s dog that’s been sculpted together with the emperor’s son back from the world that he came from.

That artwork was Luis’ personal favorite back then.

"I love it moon elf lord!" Nereen gushed he actively wiggled his tiny body on Luis’ lap.

Xagrien ruffled the boy’s hair and said. "Nero has a nice ring on it."

To Nero’s eyes, the three strangely looked like a small family so he used his paws to rub his eyes and look at the three once again. This obvious movement didn’t leave unnoticed by Luis’ meticulous observation but he didn’t intend to say anything about his relationship with Xagrien. Let them figure it out themselves.

"So Nero, Join me or what?"

This time, the golden husky found out the odd progression of things. First, he didn’t express his agreement to be the moon elf lord’s slave. Second, the moon elf lord captured his emotions by giving him a name and like a fool, he was swept up by the moon elf lord’s well-meaning gesture. Lastly, if he declined, then not only that he tossed away his friends’ good intentions, but he will also be killed slowly by the moon elf lord. But at least, he died with a good name. What a heartless and bittersweet ending for him.

’How cunning, moon elf lord,’ he cannot say anything but these words in his mind.

"I agree, moon elf lord. I will be your slave for my entire life."

Luis was silent for a while but deep inside, he is fist-bumping himself and even twerking. It was a success.

"That finalizes everything then." A green light suddenly enveloped him and the husky. Because Luis’ energy was spent, the symbol on his forehead appeared and it glowed.

Nero, the golden husky almost shot his eyes out of his sockets upon seeing this happen.

He pointed his paws tremblingly at Luis’ forehead. "Moon Elf Lord! How did you get that Sigil?!"
