Chapter 300: Success and Failure
"Welcome back, the smartest, strongest kobold girl in the world," Ruger said with a smile.
Strength and intelligence were both what Aisijin most loved to hear, and the words she cared most about herself. Among kobolds, strength meant beauty and goodness, while intelligence was what this special kobold had always valued most.
Big Silly Hum also leaned in close, humming as he looked her over a couple of times.
Aisijin blinked, looked around to either side, glanced at Big Silly Hum, then at Ruger, and only after blinking twice more did an expression of sudden realization appear on her face.
