At the Northern Fort

After listening to the story of "Family Day", I ate dinner and returned to my residence from the fort. However, Mother said that she was very hungry, so she wouldn't play with me, and Father was out somewhere.

"Where did your father go?"

When she asks her mother who is sitting on the bed, she explains in a daze.

"I went to fetch water. Since the child who is born is not a water spirit, you may want to immerse yourself in water immediately after birth, etc... It's not a fish, so you don't have to put it in the water right away."

"I see..."

If you're a human baby, you might need some water, but I don't think the spirits need it. In the first place, the water seems to be frozen in the temperature here.

But if my father isn't there, what am I going to do this afternoon? If you just went to fetch water, your father might come back soon, but it might take an unexpected amount of time to get around looking for clean water.

I thought for a moment and told my mother:

I'm going to go to Kugalg!

"Come back before it's too late." If it's too late, I'll worry about Waltrust before I do. "

Yeah!

When I reply to my mother, I think of Kugalg and use the movement technique. Kugalg is to the south of the country, but it must be cold in the middle of winter. I don't feel like going to the home of the Spirit of Fire during the hot summer months, but I'm fine at this time of year.

My body turned into a small blizzard and disappeared from the cave of my dwelling...

Huh?

However, my body did not disappear, and I felt like I was being played by something, and then I returned to my original state. I am standing in a cave, unable to go to Kugalg.

Heh-heh-heh.

What's the matter?

Mother said that she was watching everything.

"Let's try to concentrate again."

Yeah.

I used Movement again, but I still couldn't get back to Kugalg. I murmured with a leaning neck.

"I feel like I'm being teased by something..."

Hmmm.

Mother seems to think of something and says:

"Maybe it's been rejected." Now why don't you go with Hilgue as your goal? "

Kiyoha?

I didn't know what it meant, but I was worried if anything happened to Kugalg, so I decided to fly to Hilgue's dad as my mother told me to. Hilgue, my dad might be near Kugalg.

Well then, let's go.

Now, I thought of Hilgue's dad and used the movement technique. Then it went well, and my body, which had turned into a blizzard, was moving to Hilgue's dad in an instant.

"Oh, Milfilia, you're here!"

Hilg, Daddy!

Hilgue's dad was in the shape of a black leopard, and I landed on his back.

The back of Hilgue, the Spirit of Fire, is so hot that I jump to the ground in a hurry. The area around here doesn't seem to be snowy.

I walked forward and looked up at Hilgue's face and said:

"Um, do you know where Kugalg is? I tried to go to Kugalg, but I couldn't."

Hilgue's dad doesn't seem particularly anxious for me to panic that something happened in Kugalg.

"Kugalg? Kugalg is over there."

Huh?

I followed Hilgue's dad's gaze and looked up. Then there was certainly Kugalg there.

― ― Kugalg was unable to climb a tall tree and descend.

"Kugalgu..."

"Milfie..."

A little awkward air flows through it. Kugalg looks like he's seen a bad scene.

Kugalg has been unable to climb trees and descend, but why climb again with impunity?

Hilgue says with a smile.

"Hahaha! You've seen the embarrassment, Kugalg!"

And he kept looking at me.

"You tried to go to Kugalg, but you said you couldn't, milfilia. That's because Kugalg refused, who felt a sign of milfilia coming. I don't want to be embarrassed!"

Hilg Papa also said, "Hahaha!" It's pathetic to laugh so reluctantly.

But I'm glad something didn't happen to Kugalg. Besides, I'm glad that you refused me for a cute reason, not because you disliked me.

"It's not like I can't get down..."

Kugalg said in a weaker voice than usual, and it was time to come down from the tree. Just like last time, I reached the ground in disfigurement with my butt down and my nails upright.

"Good, I can go down."

"Yeah..."

Kugalg who is embarrassed and doesn't look me in the eye.

I also take my gaze off Kugalg and ask Hilgepapa.

"Hey, Hilg, Dad, how can you just wait for someone to fly in?"

"You can. You know who came right before they got to you?" So if you don't want them to come, you can refuse them. As soon as you're conscious, you can do it. "

Indeed, when someone flies to you, you realize that they came before they were fully materialized.

For example, if it was my father, a fog would emerge before he showed up, and if it was Kugalg, a fiery flame would light up. If I refuse to do so, the opponent won't be able to materialize and will return to where they were.

Oh, speaking of which, I'd love to meet your mother, too.

I murmur as if I were talking to myself.

That was when I went to the capital. Before reaching the King's City, I was attacked by the fairy of Heilith, and I tried to fly to my mother for help.

But at that time, Mother was fighting against Hiriris on Mount Snowlea. So when I came to myself, I refused, thinking that I was in danger of getting caught in the middle of a fight.

Was that the same thing?

After all, I couldn't fly to my mother at that time. I've never heard of such a thing.

I have something too... I think I should refuse if someone tries to fly in such an embarrassing situation, like getting stuck in a hole I dug myself.

When I think about it, Kugalg suggests that it still looks bad.

Milfie, do you want to go to Notte's?

It is unusual not to say that you should go to someone's place. I'm sure you'd like the Nottes to turn their heads and forget their failures.

I realized that there was such a different intention, but the proposal was attractive, so I nodded.

Yeah, let's go! Will Hilgu dad come too?

"No, let's not." Those twins seem a little scared! "

Hilgue's dad laughed brightly.

Notte and Luche are children of the Spirit of Light, Sannarsis, and the Spirit of Darkness, Renabella. Since they are only three months old and young, they tend to know the spirits of adults other than their parents.

I got used to the gentle Woodbaum a long time ago, but it seems that I will still get a little distance from the spirit that feels loud and powerful like Hilgue's dad. Maybe it's because Hilgue's dad's animal is a big leopard.

But Hilgue is also kind, so I think I'll get used to it.

Well then, I'll go.

I use my mobility skills to fly to Saint Narcis with Kugalg. The target was notte, luche or lunavera, but the bright and flamboyant Sunnarsis felt like it was the easiest to catch the eye.

Where I arrived, it was wide. It may be winter around here, but there is no snow.

Milfilia and Kugalgue.

Sunnarsis, who is still dressed like a royalty in a luxurious and striking human form, looks down at us as if he was relieved.

"Thank goodness. You're playing with the twins and you're at your health limit." You can play for me. "

Looking closely, Sannarsis had a deep purple fur kitten clinging to his shoulder. Notte, son of the Dark Spirit.

And when Luche, the son of the Light Spirit, realized that I and Kugalg had come, he rushed to us from the other side.

Luche is a golden pony and a cute girl with a curly eagle.

The twins are not yet human, so they are always animals.

Milfilia-chan, Kugarug-kun, thank you for coming.

Lenabella, the Dark Spirit, sat down in a human form. It seemed that Renabella was also playing with the twins, but her strength was exhausted and she was resting.

"Please play with these children." Really, please. "

From the look and tone of Renabella running around or sweating, I glimpsed the difficulty of twin parenting and nodded happily.

"I got it! Come on, Notte, Luche, let's go!"
