"My friend, Aldous is happy to see you again!"
Orion and Aldous met on the border between the ogre and giant territories.
"Aldous, I'm happy to see you too!"
"Now, I've come to fulfill our agreement."
Orion leaped down from the back of a Raptor and bumped arms with Aldous.
"Hahaha... This time, I'll definitely smash those lizardfolk heads!"
Aldous was overjoyed, waving his arms and legs while roaring continuously.
"Idiot, quickly bring out my gift!"
Aldous extended his left hand and smacked the other large, drowsy head hard.
Bluehide was jolted awake, its first groggy question being: "Is it a fight?"
A look of disgust appeared on Aldous's face as he turned and gave Orion a helpless smile.
"This fellow has been a bit irritable lately!"
"We've divided the labor; he controls the right hand, I control the left."
As he spoke, Aldous manipulated both hands, reaching into his pouch.
