"Steel Steel."
Little Steel Falcon nodded again.
"Where is your own identity bracelet?" Qiao Sang asked, smiling, "Don’t tell me you accidentally lost it."
Could a Beast Tamer accidentally leave behind their own pet beast?
That was just outrageous.
Qiao Sang didn’t believe it at all.
"Steel Steel."
Little Steel Falcon shook its head; it didn’t have an identity bracelet.
"Xun Xun."
Xiao Xunbao translated simultaneously.
Qiao Sang stared at the Little Steel Falcon, who looked sincere, indeed not as if it was lying.
"Why don’t you have an identity bracelet?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Steel Steel."
Little Steel Falcon explained with a helpless tone.
Its Beast Tamer wasn’t a Beast Tamer, so it didn’t have an identity bracelet.
What did it mean by its Beast Tamer wasn’t a Beast Tamer... With Xiao Xunbao’s translation, Qiao Sang was taken aback, his brain struggling to make sense of it.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang remembered a segment about the Chao Su Star that his astronomy teacher had mentioned back on Blue Star:
"Some wild pet beasts are also of a gentle nature, and there have been instances of ordinary people living peacefully with wild pet beasts over long periods. Those who are not Beast Tamers yet manage to have pet beasts help them with things are called pseudo-Beast Tamers."
Qiao Sang had an epiphany, "Is your Beast Tamer a pseudo-Beast Tamer?"
"Steel Steel."
Little Steel Falcon nodded happily, relieved that the human finally understood.
That made sense; no wonder its Beast Tamer could accidentally leave it behind. A pseudo-Beast Tamer wasn’t a real Beast Tamer, lacked the Beast Taming Codex, couldn’t summon the pet beast back, and was fundamentally unable to sense the pet beast’s location... Qiao Sang’s gaze softened:
"Even so, stealing someone else’s identity bracelet isn’t a good thing to do."
"Steel Steel."
Little Steel Falcon nodded obediently, indicating it understood.
"Steel Steel."
Then, it looked at the human before it and called out again.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao looked toward its own Beast Tamer and translated in sync.
You’re a good person~
Qiao Sang: "..."
Here we go again, surely it’s going to ask for help finding its Beast Tamer now... Qiao Sang took his phone back from Xiao Xunbao’s claws and said:
"Let me call the police for you; they should be able to help you find your Beast Tamer."
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked, putting down his phone with a puzzled look. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
