As she hurried forward, Haeun suddenly caught up from behind. "Sis, I'll carry you!"
Hayoon stopped in her tracks. "Huh? That's not really appropriate…"
He was only eight years old kid, could he carrying her, an 18 year old girl?
Haeun let out a "whoof," and transformed on the spot.
Black ears, white head, black eye patches… it was a real giant panda!
Only this giant panda was much bigger than the ones she had seen in zoos.
When it standing up, it was nearly two meters tall, like a small tower.
Haeun lowered his panda head, his clear bear eyes round and shiny, and even those two big black eye patches looked adorable.
"There's nothing bad about it! Aside from a mate, beastmen can carry their family members anytime! Sis, hurry and get on."
That was indeed true.
And… a two meter tall giant panda, she really couldn't treat him like a cub.
Stepping onto the panda's shoulder, Hayoon used both hands and feet to climb onto his back.
"Hold on tight!" As he spoke, Haeun bent slightly and spread his panda paws, running across the grassy ground toward the east.
Because of the sudden movement, Hayoon tilted backward, but thankfully she reacted quickly and grabbed onto Haeun's fur.
His beast form body was broad and she only occupied a small area.
Afraid of falling off, Hayoon leaned down closer to the back of his neck.
Haeun wasn't as fast as an adult beastman, but he was still incredibly quick, one step of his equaled more than ten of hers.
The fog split around them and the scenery on both sides blurred past rapidly.
When he ran, a thump-thump-thump sound came from his massive paws and his fur rippled backward with the wind.
Those round, thick, black panda ears shook in waves.
The more Hayoon looked at it, the itchier her hands felt, until she finally couldn't hold back and grabbed both his ears!
It's warm! The fur was so soft! When she squeezed, they bounced with elasticity!
Hayoon rubbed them twice, excitement rushing through her entire body.
A giant panda! She was actually sitting on and touching a real living giant panda!!
Haeun who had depended on his big sister for years didn't resist her tugging at his ears at all. Instead, he thoughtfully said, "Sis, are you scared of falling? Then you have to hold on tight!"
When in beast form, his voice was deeper and more resonant. Sitting on his back, Hayoon could feel the vibration in his chest.
The sensation was so strange and wonderful that she couldn't help but smile with crescent eyes.
"I got it! Thank you, Haeun!"
"Whoof! This is nothing!" Being praised only made Haeun even more eager to show off.
He lowered his big panda head and charged ahead enthusiastically.
Hayoon was jolted left and right, laughing between the shaking, thinking: If someone were standing behind Haeun right now, watching him run all round and chubby, he'd be even cuter.
