Following Ciel's lead, he pushed deeper into the forest.

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

Examining the signs around us, we indeed feel a stronger presence than at the previous location.

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

However, there is no movement, even though I can certainly feel it.

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

I feel a little fear because I don't know what is going on, but when I see my companions, I relax unnecessarily.

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

However, I have to be a little more vigilant because something might happen.

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

Still, it is cold.

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

I've been outside for so long that my extremities are colder than I thought they would be.

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

My hands and feet are tingling.

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

I'm going to have a warm bath when I get back home.

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

I think I understand why Mr. Druid insisted on an inn with a bath.

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

Hmm?　Are you cold?　You okay?"

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

Perhaps seeing me rubbing my fingers together, the druid looks into my face with concern.

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

I'm fine."

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

Really?"

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

I don't like this worried expression on Mr. Druid's face.

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

It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong when I'm being stubborn.

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

Well, I don't have to be stubborn. ......

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

I have a coat, so my body is fine, but my fingers and toes are getting cold. But I'll take a relaxing bath when I get back to the inn, so I'll be fine."

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

It kind of sounded like an excuse.

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

I see. I'm sure your hands get cold. I miss the bath.

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

"So much."

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

I look at the black sphere when I feel it moving fidgeting in my arms.

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

The face part scurries around, looking at the surroundings.

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

Could it be that Mr. Serpent is nearby?

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, who had been jumping around quietly behind Ciel, suddenly lets out a loud voice.

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

When I looked at her, I saw her jumping vigorously.

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

As I look on in surprise, it seems to be heading toward a large black rock.

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

'It's a great big rock, isn't it? Huh?　Patterns?"

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

As I get closer, I notice a white pattern on what I thought was a black rock.

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

Moreover, I have seen this pattern before.

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

Could it be Mr. Serpent?"

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

What looked like a rock seemed to be a large torso.

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

Which side do you think is the face?"

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

I compared the left and right sides to the druid's question.

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

Let's see..."

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

We were able to see Mr. Serpent, but because of the torso part, we had to go to the side where the face is.

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

However, the torso is a little crooked, and when I compare the left and right sides, they look the same, so I don't know which way to go.

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

I am really impressed with how big Mr. Serpent has grown so much.

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

As I am wondering which way to go, a shadow forms over my head.

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

I look up and see Mr. Serpent looking down at me.

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

As soon as our gazes met, I was relieved to see his face, without any feelings of fear.

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

It has been a long time. Do you remember me?"

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

I raised my voice a little and waved one hand.

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

The druid also raises his hand lightly.

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

His staring eyes narrowed a little, and then his face came down.

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

Thank you," he said. She was lost."

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

Mr. Serpent sighs when I show him the black sphere in my arms.

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

The black orb in my arm shivered at that.

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

Could it be that he will be angry with me later?

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

Come on!

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

Yes, sir. Be careful this time."

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

When the black sphere is placed at his feet, his feet come out and he starts walking toward Mr. Serpent a little bit.

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

However, he immediately stumbles over a small stone and rolls in the opposite direction from where Mr. Serpent is.

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

The druid rushes after her and picks her up, this time placing her on top of Serpent's torso.

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

'Sorry, I should have done that from the beginning.

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

Come to think of it, I don't fall off the top of Mr. Serpent.

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

I look at the black sphere's legs in wonder.

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

The black sphere has claws on its toes that hook firmly onto the edges of Ms. Serpent's scales.

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

I see, that's how it doesn't fall off.

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

While I am impressed, Ciel turns into a slime and jumps on top of Mr. Serpent.

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

Sola sees this, too.

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

And then she engulfs the black sphere, apparently playing with it.

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

I'm sorry Sola and Ciel. They are playing on my body, are you okay?"

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

Mr. Serpent glances at me, but doesn't react in any particular way.

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

Probably means it's okay.

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

Those two dogs at all!

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

Kukkukk."

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

We heard a strange sound and looked around, but there was no sign of movement other than us.

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

Mr. Druid is also looking around the forest, but can't seem to find it.

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

'Kkkkkk.'

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

Once again, the sound came from above my head.

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

'What, Mr. Serpent, can you squeal?

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

Kukkukk."

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

Huh?

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

Is it a throaty ...... sound with his mouth not open?

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

I mean, can snakes squeak!

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

And it's a cute cry, a bit disproportionate to the serpent's huge body.

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

Its appearance does not match its voice.

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

As I stare at Mr. Serpent, the face that was so close comes even closer.

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

I was surprised to see his tongue coming out of his mouth.

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

When I look at him, I see a black orb on his tongue.

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

Oh, no, I've had enough of this."

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

He probably tried to give it to me as a thank you, but it would increase the number of magic stones that I couldn't reveal.

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

I softly refused, but he pushed me firmly against it.

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

I tried to return it in a hurry, but his face was already far away.

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

I missed my chance to return it.

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

And Serpent's expression seemed somewhat satisfied, making it difficult to return it.

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

Ah~, thank you.

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

When I thanked him, he nodded once with narrowed eyes.

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

Come to think of it, we don't know the power of this magic stone, do we?

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

If I ask, will you tell me?

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

'Mr. Serpent, what kind of power does this magic stone have?

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

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

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

Sheesh, I don't understand snake language.

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

I feel like they are explaining it to me somehow.

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

Mr. Serpent stares back at me when I look up.

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

'Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.'

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

......kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk."

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

The energy is gone from Mr. Serpent's voice.

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

I knew he was explaining things to me.

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

'Um, yes!　Is it true that you can bring people back from the dead?"

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

Mr. Serpent lays his head to the side at the question.

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

Apparently not.

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

Mr. Druid was right after all.

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

But I am relieved to hear her reply that it is not true.

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

I don't need such a terrible magic stone.

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

The magic stone I received feels a little lighter.

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

It's just a feeling.

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

I'd better get back. It's getting dark.

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

I looked around and saw that the light that had been coming into the forest was diminishing.

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

'Yeah,' he said. See you later, Serpent. Sola!　Ciel!　I'm going home."

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

At my words, the two animals swayed on top of Mr. Serpent.

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

I'm leaving them behind!"

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

says the druid, who is panicked by the druid's words.

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

Not at all.

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

One light pat on the heads of Sola and Ciel as they return.

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

Kukukukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk."

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

Mr. Serpent squeaked once, perhaps in greeting, and began to move.

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

Nyaun."

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

Sora and Ciel also greeted?　The two are doing the same thing.

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

I noticed that Ciel was back in Adandara.

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

Ciel seems to be enjoying the change, as he is able to change more smoothly than before.

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

Let's go back.

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

On the way back to the village, I noticed that the signs of the demons living in the forest were moving.

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

There had been no movement at all earlier.

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

I checked the signs around me and found that the animals were still there.

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

The signs that weren't moving started to move.

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

'...... Maybe the Serpent was there and I couldn't move.

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

Maybe they're afraid of him because he's so powerful that he's considered the protector of the forest."

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

Are they afraid of you?

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

Even though he is so kind?

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

I still don't know much about Mr. Serpent.

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

Will I see you again?

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