At the Northern Fort

"Lizard, that's awesome!

When I praised Ryzaard, he and everyone else was taken aback.

'Awesome?　...... me?　What, what?

Lizard is puzzled, but I say with a twinkle in my eye, "Because you were wrong in the past and tried to change!

'Because Lizard was willing to admit his mistakes in the past and reflexively try to change!　That's awesome!

Flapping and wagging his tail excitedly, he continues.

'Jibun no amamachi...... no, amayachi...... amama......

I bit the words in the middle of the process, and I'm stuck in the doldrums and stuck. It's a good place to be right now.

Amayachi ....... Huh?　Amamachi ...... Amayachi ......

When I was confused and unsure of the correct answer, the one-eyed knight gently offered me a helping hand.

A mistake, huh?

"It!　It's very difficult to notice your mistakes and to change yourself. That's why I was so impressed with Ryzaard.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with that.

I'm glad to hear that. It's nice to hear you say that.

Once the conversation is settled, the branch leader slowly enters the spirits' conversation.

'Lysard, by the way, when and where did you find out about the mill?

Apparently, the Commander-in-Chief asked that question from a security perspective to help him protect me in the future. When I was about to be kidnapped by a whole jar of jerky, you were in a hurry," he said.

Ryzaard answers casually when spoken to by a human.

It's not even two weeks ago that I first saw Mirfilia. It's not even two weeks ago. They came near where I live now," said Lizard. Milfillia, Wothrust, Snowlea, and you human knights were there as well.

It's ......

I mutter to myself, thinking of a family trip. I guess it was the family trip that brought Lizard to my attention, both in terms of members and timing.

Ryzaard continues.

'You guys came out of nowhere to the forest where I live. But, come to think of it, there was a wartrust once, back in the summer. I was a little scared because he was walking around in the forest, looking at the ground, and he was carrying a big basket. He was carrying a big basket and what he was doing was so mysterious. ......

That's what I was looking for, strawberries. I was looking for strawberries.

But the forest is where we went on the first family trip, I guess. A place in the forest where there were no flowers in the flower garden.

Both then and this time, people didn't seem to notice that I lived there, but I was watching from a distance. I was curious to see what was going on, and I was looking for the right moment to apologize to Snowlea for the past, but I couldn't find the courage to do it. But I couldn't find the courage to do so, and that's when I decided to move away from Snowlea and the others. I noticed a little white fox cub with them.

Ryzaard swept his long bangs to the side with one hand and continued his explanation.

I knew right away that the fox was Snowlea's heir," he said. But I was surprised that Snowlea, as well as for some reason Wothrust and the human knights, were fond of Mirfilia. But I wanted to ask Mirfilia for some tips on how to get people to like you like you like that.

So it seems that Ryzaard then secretly came to Mount Snowlea and the fort, observing me and looking for a chance to talk with me.

'So it was.

I'm convinced and change the subject.

Then let's get on with it and I'll give you some tips on how to make people love you.

I climbed down from Mother's arms to the ground and pinned my tail up in motivation.

Meanwhile, Ryzaard was puzzled.

'No, I don't want to be adored, I just want to be liked. It would be weird if people liked me.'

"I'll be fine in animal form!

"Something's getting interesting!

Papa Hirug is laughing, and your mother and Daphine are also laughing and watching the outcome. Kugarug has a delicate look on his face, whether he's interested or not, and your father has a completely disinterested look on his face. Or rather, he's asleep with his eyes closed.

'What kind of animal is Ryzaard?

"I want--

So as Ryzaard changed into an animal form, a large tiger appeared in front of him. But when I say large, I don't mean the extraordinary size of a tiger, as is typical of spirits. It's about the size of an actual adult tiger.

'Wow!　It's a tiger!

The color scheme is the opposite of the hair in human form, with yellow body hair and purple stripes. However, the stripes look a bit wobbly and lightning-like.

Its ears are round but puffy, and its tail is long and thin. They must have big paw pads on their big arms and legs.

Like Hirugpapa, big cat carnivores are very nice!　It's cool and fluffy!

But Ryzaard says with concern.

Yes, it's a tiger. You're scared, aren't you ......?

"I'm not scared!　A tiger will be fine!　Because look!

I said, and turned my gaze toward the knights of the fort.

'Mofo Mofo ......'

"Big Fluffy ......

The other knights are looking at Ryzaard with a twinkle in their eyes ...... or rather aiming at him. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

'A tiger has a big body, so it's nice to have a lot of fluff for that.

"It looks worthwhile.

The knights slowly approaching frightened Lizard more.

'What are these humans ......'

"Everybody loves animals,

Although it feels like something more than just an animal lover

I approached Ryzaard, taking the form of a person there.

'I want to be fluffy too!　Can I pet him?

"You want to pet me?　Me?　Not that it matters. ......

"Yay!

Fluff the big tiger to your heart's content. I rub my hands and nuzzle my face into my back. I'm usually the one to be mauled, but sometimes I want to be mauled, too.

I love it, Mil.

"Are we good?

The knights also come over as soon as they get a chance and start rubbing Lizard. The leader of the branch also reached out from behind with everyone else and secretly touched him a bit.

Ryzaard had a complicated look on his face as he was mooching off the strong men.

'I'm glad they aren't scared of me and that they seem to like me. ......

He doesn't seem to know whether to be happy or not.

On the other hand, after petting Lizard to his heart's content, I changed back into my fox form and said, "Well, then, everyone get off of Lizard!

I said, "Now, everyone get away from Lizard!　I will now give Lizard my 'secret'.

It's called a secret technique.

When the knights of the fort have moved away from Lizard, I step firmly on the earth to face him. The Lizard is so big, though, that I have to look up to make eye contact.

'What the hell is that?'　What's the secret technique?

Ryzaard gulped and swallowed his spit. He looks nervous.

I chuckled and then rolled over on my back in place.

'Huh?'

"Biggie!　Cute pose!

Then, leaving a bewildered Ryzaard behind, I struck a very cute pose.

I posed him in a very cute pose, showing his bellybutton and fluffy belly, while his paws were bent like a beckoning cat!　And with an upturned eye, it makes the round eyes look even rounder and prettier!　Body a little wiggle and feel like a crank!

And that's the most important thing, but leave all the shame behind!　I can't do it if there's any embarrassment left!

No, it's cute, but ....... It would be cute if Milfilia did it, but I can't do it. It's such an embarrassment.

"No way!

If you feel embarrassed, you lose.

And before I knew it, your father, who was supposed to be asleep, opened his eyes and was looking closely at my cute pose.

Come on, Lizard. Come on, Lizard, let's take this and make everyone love you!

That's why I only want people to like me, I don't want to be loved.

That said, that was when Ryzaard was in trouble in the form of a tiger.

One moment the light filled this place like a lightning bolt, and the next moment there was Sannalcis standing there.

As soon as Saint Narcissus saw me, in human form, he looked a little excited and restless, and said, "I'm not going to let you go.

"Mirfilia!　I'm born!　The twins were born!
