"That should do it."
After applying a poultice he had mixed himself and tightly wrapping the injured right leg of the Luxray before him in clean white gauze, Luo Mu spoke gently with a warm expression.
"Meow~"
It was the first time Luxray had realized treatment could actually feel this comfortable, and it could not help letting out a grateful cry toward him.
"Good kitty~ Be good now~ Come on, drink this too."
A faint smile appeared on Luo Mu's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he skillfully scratched Luxray beneath the chin.
Especially when he heard the involuntary purring from Luxray, Luo Mu's smile grew even wider.
That whole combination had been far too comfortable. Even though Luxray was somewhat resistant to drinking medicine, it still chose to trust Luo Mu in front of it this once.
Th-then this kitty will reluctantly drink a little!
Luxray raised its head, putting on the appearance of one resignedly facing execution.
"Do you hate taking medicine that much?"
With a helpless expression, Luo Mu symbolically dripped a little medicine into Luxray's open mouth, letting it taste it first.
The instant the medicine touched Luxray's tongue, it froze for a moment before its eyes flew wide open.
I-it isn't bitter at all!?
It even tastes kind of good somehow?
If it's medicine like this, this kitty could drink an entire barrel of it!
"Drinking too much would be bad for your body instead."
Somehow understanding what the Luxray before him was thinking, Luo Mu helplessly flicked its damp nose.
Perhaps it was because he had first met his own Luxray and then watched it grow into a Luxray over the years.
Luo Mu had always held a considerable fondness for this species, whether it was Clemont's Luxray he had encountered at Butler Academy before
