At the Northern Fort

The harsh winter came to an end, and late spring came to this region as well.

Snow melts in the flat, and flowers bloom everywhere. There are some flowers that bloom naturally, but there are many flowers that Ferrara has blossomed. So this spring, the surrounding scenery is more colorful and gorgeous than usual.

There are many flowers in the northern fortress, and the knights and I are healed every day.

"Thank you, Frara, for blooming so much. There are lots of cute flowers, and everyone is looking forward to it."

"Yes, it seems so." I'm glad you're happy. ”

Ferrara, in the form of a rabbit, says with a smile. Furora must have witnessed the scene of the foolish knights loosening their faces while looking at the flowers, saying, "It's beautiful ~", like every day these days. That's why you know how much flowers are loved.

It doesn't hurt anyone, it heals everyone. Such a presence is, after all, precious.

And when I was looking at the flowers relaxing with Ferrara, Woodbaum came there. Woodbaum is a figure of a deer, with brightly colored flowers in the corners of its head. Every time it withered, Furara blossomed again.

"Hey, Milfilia, Ferrara!"

"Woodbalm, did you come to see Ferrara today?"

I say with a smile. For the past two months or so, Woodbaum used to come to the fort. Some of you may be here to see me, but I think you might be here to see Flora.

The two of them will settle down together because they are compatible with each other as spirits, and they have a calm personality, so they must have a favorite impression of each other.

Ferrara often tells me about Woodbaum. "Will Woodbaum come tomorrow? I don't care."

"No, it's nothing like that...!"

After Woodbaum rushed to deny my words, he said, "That's not true." Did you think it was rude of Furrah to say that?

"... yes, that's right. I'm here to see Milfilia and Ferrara."

That said, Flora seemed a little embarrassed. But he looked happy.

The two of them might still feel like they had a good friend, but I felt something sweet and sour, and I laughed in my heart.

By the way, Wood Balm, I have something to say.

Yeah? What's the matter?

I stand between Woodbaum and Ferrara.

"Um, Flora is looking for a new place to stay." It's too cold for Furrara here, so I think it would be nice to have a warmer place. Wood balm, do you know where to find it? "

"It's a warmer place." But it's a flower, and even if it's too hot, you can't do it, right? Then there is a good old town near my house. It's quiet because humans aren't here, and there's a lot of flowers in bloom this time of year. "

After Woodbaum said that with a refreshing smile, he looked at Flora with a surprised face and stopped moving. Then he excused himself in a panic.

"Ah, chi, it's different. I didn't mean to bring Ferrara near my house, but it was really where I came up with it...!"

"I know, I know! It's okay!"

Woodbaum is in a hurry, and Frara is in a panic. And Nimmanima makes me.

"Fine, Flora. Why don't you go there for now?" If you feel uncomfortable, you can go somewhere different. Besides, Wood Balm is close by, so if anything comes up, you can help me, and I'll help you. ”

I say, sitting in front of Ferrara. It's like a meddling aunt trying to keep two young people together, but I can really trust Woodbaum, and I'm not worried if you live near Woodbaum.

Ferrara said with a bit of sarcasm.

“That's right, it seems like a very attractive place.... could you show me around, Woodbaum?"

Of course!

So it seems that the two of them decided to go and see the place.

"I'll go and see it once." Thank you for taking care of Milfilia. I wouldn't even have met Woodbaum without you... thank you so much. I also wanted to thank the knights in the fort, so I'll be back. This place was too cold for me, but the humans were warm. ”

Even though Ferrara didn't have a family with the people who lived there in the past, it may not be long before Woodbaum becomes Ferrara's new family.

While imagining this on my own, I saw the two of them go away using the movement technique.

Shortly thereafter, the signs of water approach, and my father appears in front of me.

"Father, what's wrong?"

”No... it looks like Souk wants to play with Milfilia”

Father said so and lifted his right hand. Sue is wrapped around my wrist and looks like a bracelet.

And when Sue noticed me, she turned her gaze back to her father and complained about something. Sue can't speak yet, but Father exerts his mysterious sixth sense to read Sue's feelings and draws his right hand closer to me. Sue then moved to my head.

Sue, do you want to flirt with me?

Sue wrapped her eyes tightly around my ear when she asked with her eyes upward. I'm not sure if the reaction is yes or no, but it's probably yes.

I'm starting to understand Sue's personality, but she's a little blurry at my pace and looks a lot like her father. She seems to recognize me as her sister, and she misses me because she plays with me all the time.

Well then, let's do it like usual.

I can't run Sue even if you say so, so I'll run Sue on my head. Sue seems to enjoy it.

In fact, Sue pretends her tail to be happy with my proposal.

And so, my father sighed tinyly. Father doesn't show much emotion, so it's unusual to sigh.

Are you tired of raising Sue? I thought so, but apparently it was different, and my father muttered when he saw us both.

"With two such adorable children all together... I'm worried that they might be kidnapped..." I was worried about Milfilia alone...... but even more..... "

In the middle of the words, Father sighs again. This sigh is that. Not a sigh of "hah, I'm tired", but a "hah, cute" one. It's a sigh of relief that the commander looks at me very closely.

When I had two children, I wondered if they could both love each other equally, and my father was lost in making a succession, but now it seems that both me and Sue are cute and irresistible.

I thought that I would definitely continue to demonstrate overprotection.

Then at noon, Sue, who had returned to her residence, broke up with her father and I entered the fort's building.

By the way, Sue and my father basically live with me and my mother on Mount Snowrea. However, Mount Snowlea is snowy and cold all year round, so during the day, my father often takes Sue back to his former home on the lake. I still went back to my original place of residence. I'm supposed to warm up in the sun.

Meanwhile, I walked down the hallway of the fort, snoring my claws, to the office of the Knight of the Eyes. It was almost time for the Knight of the Eyes to take a break, so we went to the cafeteria together for breakfast.

Cigarette Cancer Hiccup!

Call in front of the door and let them in. When I didn't notice it, I stood up and scratched the door with my forefoot, so I got a small scratch in no time.

"Mill, I'm sorry you came so far." Can I just get this job done? It'll be over in about fifteen minutes. "

Inviting me in, the eye-knight sat at his desk and lifted a bundle of papers.

It's okay.

Then I'll wait with a good girl and climb up to the knight's lap with one eye. Then, he leaned down on his lap and put his chin on his forefoot instep to take a relaxed position.

Today is a warm, cheerful and pleasant day. The Knight of the Eyes sometimes strokes my head with his left hand while working.

Compared to the first time I came to this northern fortress, I had more family, more human acquaintances, and more Spirit friends.

Of course it's fun to play with everyone, but I also love the daily routine of just lying on the lap of a knight with one eye.

I want to continue to live a peaceful life as usual here, in the northern fortress.

It's a good time to get together, huh?

Laughing and mumbling halfway to sleep, the knight with one eye leaked a laugh over his head.
