Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sora's cry echoes through the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a little louder than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She seems to be in a good mood, having been free in the forest for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola, don't go too deep into the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is chasing after Sora, who is jumping up and down, but I have a feeling that he is trying to go deeper into the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"P~?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola stops and looks at us behind her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'There could be dangerous demons or animals out there, you know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tried to tell him so, but he tilted his head a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have been studying the signs in the vicinity where we are now since a few minutes ago, but it's not right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, there hasn't been any movement in the signs around here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand that cold-sensitive animals may be in hibernation, which is why there has been no movement, but I was wondering why cold-sensitive demons haven't moved either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Usually in the forest, there are many signs moving around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Among them, we act based on whether they are dangerous signs or safe signs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When we entered this forest, there were indeed various signs moving around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There were many signs that fled, perhaps sensing Ciel's presence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But now, for some reason, they are not moving at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there something wrong?　Come to think of it, it's quiet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you listen carefully, you can hear the wind and the rustling of trees, but no animal noises.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of scary."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you think Ciel will be okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look around anxiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ppppp~'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Sola's happy voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I approach curiously, I see a black sphere lying in front of Sola.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder, is this the child of the guardian god?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid was right, it was probably the child of Serpent, the guardian god of the forest, whom we saw a while ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?　Is Mr. Serpent not here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tried to talk to the black sphere, but it did not move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I touch the black sphere gently, feeling uneasy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The moment I touch it, my body trembles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank God, it's alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was worried he was dead because he didn't move, but he seems to be okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could it be that he is scared?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, the girl I met before was scared, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm...maybe it was a mistake to touch her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I let go of her hand and speak to her slowly and with a calm voice in mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry. I'm the adventurer you met a while ago. Don't you remember me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ppppp~'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola is also making little jumping noises around the sphere, but I wonder if she is talking to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After staring at the sphere for a while, another sphere suddenly appeared out of the sphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa, it's a face!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of cute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The last time we met, Mr. Serpent was more intense, so we didn't get a closer look at the children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That is why I did not notice that the face of the black sphere seems to be another smaller sphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? Cute?　No, no, that's not quite right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid apparently doesn't look cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Too bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it's cute, but maybe this is just my feeling or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't like that one bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The black sphere scurries around the small spherical part to look at its surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Its mood is frantic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could it be that he has been separated from Mr. Serpent?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you know where Mr. Serpent is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I called out to him, as if he had gotten used to us, and he stretched his neck out as far as he could and looked at me, then shook his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised to see his head, but relieved to see it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what it is like to be soothed by the sight of someone trying with all their might?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you don't know, you're lost."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Shaking your head again at the druid's words?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They say they are not lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you know where you are?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the druid called out again, the black sphere stopped moving as if it had frozen in place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How could this be a lost child?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I gently peeked at Mr. Druid and he was smiling bitterly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What shall we do?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes,' he said. Thora, do you know where Serpent is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Pfft."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola tilts her body to the side as if tilting her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It can't be helped, we'll have to wait until Ciel comes back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that the only way?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is no sign of movement in the vicinity, but it is a dangerous place and it would be unwise for us to search around alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm already moving around chasing after Sola, so I'm not very convincing!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think so, but it would be better not to do anything more dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now that we don't know where Mr. Serpent is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems we have no choice but to ask Ciel for help."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sorry to make more work for Ciel, but I cannot leave Mr. Serpent's child here, who is said to be a fairy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If the wrong people find them, it could be a big problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then again, they are strange creatures, aren't they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Mr. Druid poked the black sphere with his finger, it twitched and trembled, though it did not pull its face down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is probably still a little scared, and his movements are jerky and kind of cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I feel sorry for him, Mr. Druid."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy's laughing at you, too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because your reaction was adorable."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As the two of us are laughing, there is a sign that they are running toward us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I get a little nervous, but when I realize that the presence is one I know well, I relax from my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola also noticed Ciel's presence, and she turned her head in the direction where she felt the presence and jumped up and down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seeing Sola, the druid also seemed to notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. She's coming back this way at great speed right now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While I was admiring how fast he really is, Ciel came dashing in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome back, are you hurt or anything?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I asked her that, Ciel rubbed her face against my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The force of his rubbing is stronger than usual today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, the hunt went well and he is in a very good mood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is pushing me so hard that I feel as if my body is bending over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is your stomach full?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid gently supported my back and I managed to catch Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank goodness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is sweetly purring his throat as he stroked Ciel's head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I looked at the black sphere, it was back to the state it was in when we first met.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that he was startled by Ciel and pulled a face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, I have a favor to ask you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stare into Ciel's eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel also stares back at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She looks me right in the eyes. I think he is the child of Serpent, the big snake I met before I came to this village, but he seems to be lost. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to lift him up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gently lift the black sphere and show it to Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I want to take you to Mr. Serpent, do you know where he is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel responded without hesitation, as if he knew where Mr. Serpent was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Where can I find him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At my question, Ciel walks back the way he just came back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Will you show me the way?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He glanced back and mewed, then immediately started walking slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought about putting the black sphere down on the ground, but then I remembered how fast I had seen it walk and decided to just pick it up and go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I walked as fast as this child, it would surely be night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go to Mr. Serpent's."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I spoke softly to the sphere in my arms and was surprised when its face popped up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a little scary when it was unexpected.
