Chapter 11 11: Griselda - Grey War Maid
Zell stood motionless, his black hair swaying in the slight breeze. He looked towards the beautiful female wolf, her silky white body and raven black top. She felt noble, strong, and fierce. Her bloodstained lips and snout were not ugly, only added to her beauty.
"I want her to become my companion!"
—|Veronica: 'I smell trouble! That wolf isn't normal, Infera, you damned beast goddess! Oi! What are you doing! This wolf shouldn't even exist!'
Suddenly, as if a bond formed between them. Her thoughts, feelings, and hopes flowed into his mind. A proud and mighty wolf that desired to be below only one. He must become the most powerful below nobody. Or her pride would cause her to kill him herself!
"How nostalgic, this sensation… It's different, though. You are not even level 5 and became a battle pet! Strange, but beggars cannot complain!"
The female wolf, both proud and filled with a noble soul. With a beautiful slow gait, she paced towards him. She could feel his pain, sorrow and desire to become the strongest and bow to no one else. Her little tail swayed with a graceful wag.
A moment later, she sat before him and rubbed her snout along his leg, sniffing and taking in the scent of her future master and companion.
She was a very human like wolf. He could feel her noble pride. It felt like the royalty he saw on the television. Her prowess in battle caused him to feel joy. He needed to learn many things and could now rest easy with these two cute females beside him.

Fifteen minutes passed as he contemplated his choice. It was a strange time to begin. He felt like some strange plot was unfolding. So, he ignored it for this past fifteen minutes and enjoyed the soft silky fur of his new partner. She licked his hand and nuzzled against him gently.
"She's so cute!"
"Wahn!" (Oh, thank you for the compliment! You are a charming gentleman yourself!)
Zell pressed his face close to her, those blue eyes like gems that could see into his soul. A resolute sense filled his mind as her thoughts about him formed words from her growls and noises. He felt a deep joy. During his last life, he could never understand his pets. Only when Rika gained a human form and could speak.
The noble wolf caught him off guard when her soft, cold black nose pressed against his with a slight boop, then stroked her snout against his face. Because his mother was sick, during his life he never had real pets. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
—|Zell: 'I take back what I said, whoever set my pain threshold to 100%. Thank you, because now I can feel what it's like to have a pet show their affection on my flesh!'
Veronica fluttered her angel wings above his head, turning away with a pout. She wasn't angry, but glad for the two successive compliments from him. He normally only complained about her.
—|Veronica: 'Stop… You'll make me blush… Hehe!'
"Pleased to meet you. My name is Zell. I will be your partner for the rest of our lives. My back is yours to protect! Leave the front to me. Griselda!"
"WAHN!" (Oh my! Is that the name you gave me? It's wonderful, thank you! A Grey battle maid? Very well, this Griselda will protect your back and heart from any enemies!)
—|Zell: 'I accept her and the system! Hit me with your best shot.'

Zell felt Griselda was more than enough. What system did he need with her skills and that bonus to his own growth, too? His hands stroked through her silky black fur and white fluffy fur on her chest in a rough circle. The girl's little tongue stuck out as she panted loudly.

Your improved growth is pretty good, Zell! My cute little half dragon, hehe!

"Hehe, I love dogs. They are so cute!"
—|Veronica: 'Well, I have seen how much you loved those mutts with fleas… Enough to lose all the flesh from your back to protect them from a demon's fire breath. Others would just let them die, then revive them… Idiot, value yourself more!'
Griselda made it easier for him as her body sat close, pushing the areas that felt best towards him to enjoy her fluffy grooming time. She knew once he was ready, they would leave to hunt down other wolves and the goblins that wiped out the last human town several months ago.
—|Griselda: 'I am glad you were such a wonderful gentleman. I already lost my world to demons. Let me help you, however I can to save yours from the same fate!'
