At the Northern Fort

"You're not here... I think it's time to catch up."

Grail stared carefully at the end of the road as he rode his horse down the street near the fort.

Cromwell, Kicks, and Teena are similarly looking forward and looking for a white child fox, but Gauss is gently manipulating the reins whining, "There's really nothing around here," etc.

Though Mill left the fort before ourselves, we can't even walk that fast.

It was about time I was catching up, but I got worried.

I don't think he's been kidnapped in this short time or drowned in some waterway...

"The way you came, would you like to go back and look again?

Teena said anxiously.

"There shouldn't be any thieves around here, just in case..."

Kix also has a serious look at him at all times, Cromwell's face is only blue with a heart, and he's pounded on the shoulder by Gaussian lined up next to him.

"Right, let's split up second-hand. With those who move on and those who return."

Grail, who was running the lead, cut the words as he stopped the horse and tried to look back.

On the side of the street where the five are going, there is a grazing field of fortified horses, because at the feet of the brown and black horses running around there we saw little white creatures.

It was an unmistakable mill, bouncing happily over the meadows.

"There he is."

As Grail grinned and pointed at the grazing land, the other four gently turned to you.

"You were there!

"Great, they found me..."

Kicks and Teena said with a hospitable look, and Cromwell was secretly stroking his chest down as well.

Apparently, Mill was playing with the horses even though he said he was on his way to grab you.

I have been left with only one running competition with the four or five heads I was around, but I am enjoying myself.

Mill had been playing with the horses for a while without even knowing they were being viewed by the Grails, but eventually seemed to recall his original purpose. A fairy awaits, returning to the fence erected along the streets.

That means we're getting closer to the Grails, too.

"Yabe, I'm here"

There was no need for Kicks to say that and wear the cape from his head, and Mill had not noticed the presence of the five.

"Don't look at me at all."

When Cromwell said it was pompous, Teena laughed bitterly, too.

"I'm following you packed quite a distance..."

The distance from the mill that walked out the street is less than fifteen meters.

Enough distance to tail around the city, but this is the main road, surrounded by grasslands and fields without any obstacles whatsoever.

If you look back, you'll find out that you're following him right away, but Mill doesn't care about his back at all.

"Even if you don't smell it because it's more windy over there, isn't there supposed to be something called a sign of a person? Besides, it's not weird to hear this one talking or the horse's foot. I thought the Spirit had a sharper sense than a human being..."

Gauss said strangely and Cromwell returned it like this.

"You may want to forget the fact that the mill is the spirit of snow"

Kix jokes and frowns, too.

"I don't even have as much attention as a regular fox, though. Those ears are just adorable decorations."

Five people also start walking off their horses to keep pace with the mill's walk.

"So, when are you going to call the mill? You gonna follow me all the way back and walk?

Grail just turned around and told Kicks.

Although Snowlea asked me to "follow Milphilia", the meaning would not be "follow me so I don't find out", but "I want you to go with me to the King's Capital".

Grail was going to leave with Mill, but Kicks and Teena stopped it.

"'Cause it's fun to sneak up on Mill's behavior"

"Put on the shawl, rabbit backpack. The girl with the backpack - what is it, it's good to have a full view of this hindsight, isn't it? And the tail, the buttocks and the back of the head..."

Following Kicks, Teena said inadvertently.

Mill's luggage was prepared earlier this morning, but Cromwell quietly offered me that rabbit backpack when Grail was looking for a bag to pack lunch and jerky for the mill.

There was also a desire to ask where they were going to get this stuff, but Grail received it without saying anything.

And as you can imagine, the figure of the fox carrying the rabbit was adorable.

I also know what it's like to tell you that the Kicks are going to tail you for a second.

It's dangerous all over the city with lots of people, but you don't have to worry about losing sight of it on this street with great views.

"Ah, Kugarg-kun"

Tina suddenly raised her bounced voice. Because the little flame that appeared next to the mill turned into a young black leopard.

Though there are no wild leopards living in this country, the Grails have already met with Kugarg many times, so I'm totally used to seeing them.

Mill also seemed reluctant to make contact with Kugarg, the Spirit of Fire at first, but now he's giving up, or he's forgiving his heart.

Whether he gets his head poked or smelled, he can't resist, but he remains.

"Hmm, the southern flame child? What a precious sight."

"You'll be seen at the fort all the time."

Kicks says to Gaussian, who is impressed.

"Milfilia. Hmm?... here, where?

Kugarg said so and looked around and quickly noticed the five grails behind him as well. Unlike the mill, he seems cautious.

Though he showed alarm at Gaussian presence, he looked puzzled when he told the Grails why they were apart. but

"Kugarg, it was there!

When the happy mill welcomed me, it seemed that I didn't care about this one anymore.

Mill must be the first one to be welcomed like this one, as he always only shows as much reaction as' Ah, you're here 'even when Kugarg comes.

Kugarg was shaking his tail like he was impressed.

Then they thought they'd started walking together, and soon they found a rabbit and stopped.

"Don't ever move on, this"

Kicks laughs and says.

Mill and Kugarg used their heads to hunt down rabbits more than they thought, but they ended up getting away with it.

And now I thought it was time to leave, but apparently Mill was tired and started fishing for his backpack in a human form.

Looks like we're already eating lunch.

Some of the luggage the Grails have on their horses is food for the mill, so you can eat what the mill has for itself early, but I can tell you it's not planned.

Kugarg occasionally looks at this one for a while, but he doesn't want to be disturbed by the two of us traveling, he doesn't seem to have said anything to Mill.

-;

"Ghaaaa!?"

A mill pulled something out of the backpack, suddenly screaming fear.

Grail and Cromwell tried to run out for a moment, but saw the purple odd poisonous mushroom plush and immediately looked back at Teena.

"... what are you going to do?

To Grail's pure question, Teena answers with a grin.

"No, you know, for Mill's journey..."

"For the journey? Poison mushrooms?

I pointed my gaze at Teena to see if Kix was insane.

"It's not a poison mushroom! Stuffed animals!"

"I know it's a stuffed animal, but why did you make it such a frizzy creature!? Where did you get such a black purple cloth?!?"

"Terrible! You're adorable!

No more! And Teena blushed and slapped Kicks. Gauss is laughing gahaha next door.

(I thought the backpack was swelling more than when I was ready. When were you putting it in...)

Grayle thought there was no alarm or gap.

Both Mill and Kugarg were pretty shocked by the mushroom stuffed animals, but they managed to get their minds back together and start eating.

We start trying to figure out if we can create fairies ourselves after we finish our meals, and when that's over, we finally start getting ready to leave.

Mill and Kugarg each returned to the appearance of the beast and followed the fairy down the street again.

"On second thought, if you were slow, it wouldn't have been aye! It's a long way from home."

Mill seems to be starting to rush a little faster to walk.

Four small, short legs moved hard because of it.

"I may have eaten too much jerky too...... I still have to go, and I should have done more. I should have eaten dinner later..."

She's now anxious about the amount of food she has, and Mill keeps talking gray all by herself.

"If you don't eat, we won't die. You'll be fine."

"Yes, but... but I may be hungry, and I'll be sad if I'm hungry"

"Well, why don't we just put it on before Milfiria gets hungry?

"Oh, right!

Mill was convinced of the suggestion and said, "Then hurry! I said," The two of us ran out.

The five Grails who watched it also ride horses. Kicks said, "'Oh, yeah! It's not!" He kicked the horse's belly gently as he clung and gave the signal.

I wonder if they have strength because they are spirits, the mills kept running longer than they thought and eventually saw the neighboring town.
