At the Northern Fort

After departing for the first family trip with my father's mobility, we arrived in a strange forest.

The weather here is not very good, there is a little wind, and it is likely to rain now.

But in the woods, birds rang from place to place, and tree leaves and streams reached my ears, making it a bustling forest.

"Where are we? It's not Aridra, is it?

When I asked a question, my father answered:

"That's right... Somewhat far from that country....."

"So where's the beautiful place? This forest?

Mother looks around and says. The Knights of the Ship's Eye, the Chief of the Branch, Kicks, Tina, and Reka also entered the system of quietly watching over our parents and children while paying attention to the surroundings.

"No, not the forest...."

My father looked around and walked out looking into the woods, saying, "That's it..."

When I was in the mood to follow it and jump, a thick root of trees appeared crawling on the ground in front of me. Just the roots of a tree are enough obstacles for me, the fox.

But now that I was tense on my family trip, I always jumped over to avoid it.

And it got caught. I landed on the roots of the tree with my belly, and I just scratched the sky with my four legs.

"Father, Mother, wait! Screw it!

"This lovely sight... I'm glad you're here."

Behind my back, I can hear the chief of the branch murmuring with joy. I feel a hot gaze on my back leg moving my buttocks and tails...

Meanwhile, I have my father rescue me safely and walk through the woods again. But this time, I plunged into the spider's web from my face, and I shouted a pathetic voice.

I didn't think there was a spider's nest so low. Besides, I didn't see it well because of the light.

"Kao Ni! The yarn!

I rub my face with my forefoot with my eyes closed.

Milfilia, what are you doing?

"Mother!

Because there aren't many spiders in the cold Snowflare Mountains, I didn't have the consciousness to 'watch out for spider webs'. That's why I was alarmed.

"What about the spider thread? She's not in trouble."

While saying so, my mother stroked my face with her hands and tried to remove the spider thread. However, it is slightly cluttery, so I feel that there is still some thread left. There is definitely still hair around the fluffy cheeks.

Kimochi is awful.

I was worried and scratched my cheeks with my hind legs forever, and the knight of the boat came running here. He followed me from behind silently so as not to disturb my family's trip, but I had to be taken care of right away because of him.

The Knight of the Ship's Eye took out the handkerchief and wiped the part of my cheeks I was worried about.

"Are you okay?

"Yeah, it's not funny anymore. Thank you."

As he thanked him, the knight of the ship nodded and returned silently to the chiefs.

It's professional work. The Knight of the Ship's Eye is a professional who takes care of me.

"It's a great mill to do twice just by traveling this short distance."

Kix is murmuring in the back. I can hear you.

But my father was worried about me thinking the same thing as Kix, and he held me until he reached a destination that seemed to be nearby.

"... that? You mean here?

Looking around where my father stopped, I leaned my neck. It was an open place in the woods, but it was just raw and not particularly beautiful.

Father says strangely.

"... when I came here before... there were... pathetic blue flowers in this area..."

"I think you're in the wrong place. Blue flowers are nowhere to be found."

"I think it's the right place..."

Tina calls out to her confused father from behind.

"Um! It's the end of autumn, so I think the flower season is over!

"Flower season....."

He was always a faceless father, but now his eyes are swimming a little. He seems upset. I seem to recall that there are only a limited number of seasons in which flowers bloom in a year.

"Flower season....."

It was a shock, my father repeated.

"Father, what's up?

I looked up at my father and said, but at the same time my mother looked back and wrinkled between her eyebrows.

"Mother, what's wrong?

Now I look at my mother and say.

"No, I thought I saw a sign of Lizard...."

"Lizard!? Isn't that the spirit of Mikamori?

A slightly violent and scary spirit that once came to thunder on Mount Snow Urea.

I blurred my eyes around, but there was no shadow like it in sight. The Knights of the Ship's Eye behind them also looked around when they heard of the Spirit of Lightning.

"Is Lizard here?

When she asks me in fright, she thinks a little and then answers:

"It may be because of your mind. Because if Lizard is nearby early in the fight, he will feel the signs of the stray and attack immediately. What about you, Waitrast? Did you feel anything?

"Like I felt it... like I didn't feel it..."

My father was shocked that the flowers weren't blooming, and he didn't seem to care about Lizard.

Mother kept looking up at the sky.

"Thick clouds cover the sky in unstable weather. There's nothing strange about lightning falling. I think I mistook the lightning signs of natural phenomena for the signs of risers."

After all, Lizard never showed up, so we decided to leave before the weather deteriorated.

"The next place to go... is where the flowers were blooming beautifully..."

Father said with an expression such as half expectations and half anxiety, and used mobility with everyone involved.

No, Father, I don't think I can expect half of it... If it had been full in summer, it wouldn't be blooming anymore.

And as expected, no flowers were blooming at the next destination. It was a big, raw place, but there was only grass.

……

My father stopped saying anything. Looks depressed.

"What a beautiful view."

"Ugh, I'm thrilled! This is what makes me happy!

My mother's careless remarks prompted me to follow.

"Besides, if it's this wide, it'll be fun to hang it."

As my father was holding me, I ran off to the ground with a huff.

Come on, it's so fun!

"Fufufu, I wonder if this could happen...."

And so Tina grabbed her backpack and took out something that looked like a ball.

"Wow! That's right, Tina! Good luck!

I rushed to Tina.

With the ball, I can have the best time with this whole thing!

"Ball! Ball!"

"Is that really a ball?

While I was playing ball coal, Kix looked suspiciously at the object that Tina had.

It seems to have been made in the process of making stuffed toys, a simple ball made of white cloth. There seems to be a lot of cotton inside.

The shape is round and I think it is well made for Tina's work. I haven't used a cloth of strange color.

Something's on it.

Next time, the branch commander looks at the ball and says. Tina smiles and shows the ball to everyone.

"I have ears. Actually, this is a ball modeled after Mill!

The ball has triangular ears and embroidered eyes and nose. It certainly looks like my face.

"Teena, that ball is so cute...."

"Turning people's faces into balls...."

Reka-san and the Knight of the Ship's Eye opened their mouths.

But Tina didn't hear me say, "Mill, let's go!" and threw the ball.

Oh, my face!

I run to retrieve my head. My face is pathetic when I keep rolling around.

"Great. Mill-chan liked it too."

"Do you like it, that?"

Kix murmured as if he was stunned.
