At the Northern Fort

I secretly look up at my father as we all talk about me when I was younger than now. Even though he was always a faceless father, he now lowered his eyebrows and looked sad and regretful.

It seems so hard to miss me when I was a baby.

I think for a moment and open my mouth that this might be the right time to cut the story out.

"Hey, Father. If you want to see a baby, why don't you have a baby too?

"...... no"

After a long silence, Father shakes his neck slightly.

What, you're not excited about having kids? I may not have been interested in children before, but now they adore me and it's no wonder I want my inheritance.

In my dream, I was asked by a mysterious young man, and above all, I want a brother, but I can't help it if my father doesn't feel like it.

I tried hard to persuade him.

"Why? You must be cute!

I sit on my father's lap on the snow and face him. Stand up with both forelegs on your father's chest and speak at close range.

"I want you to do the same for me. I want it today!

My thoughts were too strong and my nose stuck to my father's nose.

"Father...."

Please stare at your father at zero distance, but he looks distracted with a troubled face.

Father.

……

Even if I begged you with my loud eyes, you looked painful and silent. This may be tough.

And my mother asks me if I doubted my father's attitude.

"Watertrust, Milfilia is right. Why don't you make a legacy? Why refuse? You may give birth with my help. I'll lend you my belly."

"... no"

Father shook his neck again. I don't really feel like making a child.

I can't easily give up my desire to have a brother, but I can't force myself if my father doesn't like it.

(I wonder if I can't be a brother...)

I feel a little lonely, but for now, I'll stop talking about it. My father doesn't want to tell me why he doesn't want a child.

Khun... when I scream sadly and get off my father's lap, my father looks at me and looks painful. It seems difficult not to fulfill my wish.

Both my father and I looked sad, and the knight of the ship's eyes stroked my head and comforted me.

And furthermore, my eyes are full of fur and fur.

"Hmm? Isn't your hair a little fluffy? Is it because of the winter hair?

It is also because of winter hair, but I think it is probably because the mysterious young man has increased the number of fur by 10%.

You've noticed only a 10% increase, Knight of the Ship's Eye.

"Yeah, I want to touch it too."

"Me too."

After cutting Kix and Tina open, Rekka and Branch Leader, father and mother reached out to me and said, "Which one...?"

I was talking about my father's heirloom, and now I don't care!

And the next day, I was following him at the fort. Last time it didn't work out, so I'm revenging.

I usually come for a lunch break, but I came to the fort in the morning for a tail job. When it's time for lunch break, the knights may think, "It's time for the mill," making it easier for them to notice my presence.

I got up early so I was very sleepy, but I followed him with my eyes shuddered.

The target is Recca, who has been practicing outside the training grounds for a long time. So I'm just watching it from the shadow of the fort, and it's very boring. Sleepy.

(I think we should change the target.)

But when I thought about it, Reka started running around the fort from the training grounds.

I follow in a hurry, too, but I have to run with all my might because of the fast pace. Huff Huff and I went after him, but eventually Reka ran away without me.

"Hah, hah..."

Mr. Reka, it's fast. But even though I am a fox, I can't believe I lose to humans at the speed of my feet.

I looked up at the fort with a feeling of subtle regret that I didn't care about the speed of my feet. Last time I followed him, I remembered what he saw in the office.

But because it was still morning, there wasn't a branch chief there.

"That's where you are."

However, as I turned my heel with such a murmur, I peered into the shadow of the fort and found the branch commander looking at us.

"Ah! Shintan-san!

Why are you here?

Shin-chan! What the hell are you doing?

The branch commander came out of the shadows, feeling a little embarrassed when he was found.

"No, I was about to go for breakfast, and I saw a mill, so I followed him."

Speak up. Why are you following me?

"When I saw that tail swaying fluffily, it wasn't a moth attracted by the brightness of the flame, but it subconsciously followed me."

"That's right...."

I don't know, but I think my tail has the charm of attracting others.

And that was when I and Mr. Branch Commander were interacting like that.

"Mill"

The Knight of the Ship's Eye has come from behind you.

"Ah, Seki Cancer Kiki!

I used the mobility technique to target the Knight of the Ship's Eye, so I once met the Knight of the Ship's Eye when I arrived at the fort. At that time, the Knight of the Ship's Eye had just finished his morning workout a step earlier than Mr. Recca.

"Grail, how long have you been behind me...?

The chief of the branch asks afraid,

"No, I just got here... I went to the cafeteria."

When the Knight of the Ship's Eye answered, he exhaled. He didn't want to see me when he followed me.

"I was going to get a jerky. I thought it would be a mill breakfast."

The Knight with the Ship's Eye had three jerkies in one hand and gave them to me.

"The chef made me another new jerky to refill my bottle."

I did it...

There's a big bottle on the kitchen shelf, and the chef always puts a personal jerky in there.

"But then, I wish you'd brought me more."

Greedy to say so, the Knight of the Ship's Eye said, "If you eat too much, you'll want to get hungry." Haven't you ever eaten too much and had a stomach ache before? Don't I have the rude image of eating until my stomach aches?

While angrily biting the jerky with one back teeth, I felt the spirit. It's not like she showed up suddenly, it's like I've been nearby for a long time, but I didn't notice.

But even if I say it's close, I don't know where it is because I feel like it's somewhere on the fort's property.

"Could it be Kugalugh?

"What's wrong? Has anybody come? It's unusual to come to Kugalug in the morning."

"Yeah, but...."

I don't think it's Kugalug after all. Hilg, is that you? San Narcissis....?

(Yeah, it's similar, but I don't think it's the three of them.)

Then who is it? Spirits that are similar to spirits of fire and light.

With that in mind, the word "Spirit of Lightning" popped into my head.

(Lizard? No way....)

As for Lizard, I look around in a hurry as to why he is in the northern fort.

My mother was also talking about the feeling of riszard in the Snowflare Mountain dwelling... and you're wandering around here?

While I was thinking about it, the signs disappeared. After all, it's your fault?
