Primitive Once Again - Chapter 32

Was this how it felt to fall in love?

Tooth felt his heart beating extremely quickly, to the point that he could barely breathe– He could feel a lot of cold sweat running down his back, and even a faint trembling in his legs that made it hard to stand.

Feeling slightly dizzy, Tooth reached out a hand to support himself using the table.

Growing to this age, he had yet to experience his first rut. Tooth started recalling what his dad told him, about the symptoms when he saw someone he liked: a flushed face and palpitating heart.

Hm?

Why was it that when it came to him, he was nervous and wanted to run away?

Tooth, who had no idea he was facing a fierce beast, used a staunch, wolf [1] mindset to overcome his fear and continue talking to the beauties.

“I- I don’t think I got your names?” Tooth felt that his legs were getting too soft, and so as to not affect his own image, he decided to sit down.

“I- I’m Eim.” Knowing that this friendly looking brother [2] was actually a wolf, Eim was no longer as lively as before.

“What’s your original form?” Tooth lazily asked.

“I’m a snow rabbit, but- but I can’t change forms.” Eim’s voice got lower and lower.

“Oh.” It was an answer within his expectation. Uninterested in Eim, Tooth carelessly recorded Eim’s name, before turning back to Black and White.

“I’m Black, and he’s White.” Black watched Tooth use a branch to carve drawings onto a slab of stone. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t curious.

Meng Jiuzhao took the chance to stick out his head while Black was busy looking at Tooth.

Only now did he realise that there existed written characters in this tribe, and they could even draw portraits. For example, Eim who was just registered. Tooth used charcoal to draw a few scrawl-like symbols on the stone slab, and there was even a casually doodled portrait next to the symbols.

However, that portrait was really drawn too inaccurately, it was simply a large pancake with 3 sesame seeds on it! There wasn’t even a nose!

“Black and White… Is it? Your names are so beautiful.” The beauties’ names, GET![3] Tooth’s heart started beating more rapidly.

“What are your original forms?”

“Same as him.” White pointed at Eim.

“Sure enough~ That’s fantastic!” Delightfully, Tooth wrote under the gender section of the stone slate, “Snow Rabbit” and “Female”.

As a result, Black and White were labelled as females without them knowing.

Very seriously, Tooth found another fresh branch and wrote their names with all his strength, then drew them beautiful portraits with extreme seriousness. With large eyes, small mouths, and hairstyles of unparalleled elegance…

Oh! Goodness! This kind of pitch black charcoal was completely unable to illustrate their beauty, which was one in a million[4]!

Tooth decided that he had to go back and look for blue-green pigments to fill in the beauties’ eyes. Before he managed to find a suitable pigment, Tooth could only leave their irises white.

Black silently and carefully stared at Tooth who was registering their details.

The more he looked, the more apprehensive he became.

Big eyes (because they were not filled in yet), small mouth (Kantas cubs also had small mouths), and that head of cowlicks [5](Tooth’s intention was to draw flowy hair T口T)…

Could this guy actually see their original forms?!

Black felt a little bit of cold sweat run down his back.

When he looked at Tooth again, Black immediately thought that this guy was pretty capable at hiding.

(Meng Jiuzhao: Old man, you’re mistaken! That guy is just incapable of drawing!)
