At the Northern Fort

I decided to head to the fort earlier than usual today. but there is still time until the noon break, and the knight of the ship's eye will be busy at work, so I decide to try to travel for Woodbaum.

"Ah, Milfilia"

Woodbaum sat in the usual shade and relaxed.

"Woodbalm...... that? The leaves."

I looked at the corner of Woodbaum and said: The red leaves that had thrived there had almost disappeared at some point.

"Autumn is over."

"Oh."

I stretched my neck and looked up into the sky. How can I feel so lonely at the end of fall?

But it also makes me happy to think that the snow season is approaching. Snow falling at the top of the mountain is rusty, but snow falling around here is a little more moisture and I enjoy stiff solidification when I step on it.

As I was enjoying the snow with paranoia, Woodbaum looked strange and changed the story.

"By the way, Milfiria, I'm talking about the head of this fort."

"Hmm? What's wrong with Shinji?

"I thought he was sick of something, too."

"Oh Shinji!?"

I stood pin and ear. I didn't hear that.

Asking why he thought so, Woodbaum explains with a complex look.

"Actually, earlier this morning, when I woke up, I had him here."

Woodbaum stood up and slapped the ground in front of him with his hoof.

"I had a very angry face, not very angry."

"Yes!? Really?

I moved around to the right and to the left and softly.

"It wasn't normal, so I tried to speak up about what was going on with me..."

"What if?"

"Suddenly he held me"

Woodbaum says as troubled.

I stopped moving pitterly.

"Dashi?"

Are you annoyed?

"And then we fluttered towards the stable. I wonder what the hell's wrong with that guy."

"... that's not bizarre."

I shook my head loosely at Woodbaum, who said worryingly. In a way, I'm sick.

Today is the fifth day since everyone on the team who lost in the exercise stopped being touched (sarcastic) by me. I mean, on the last day, I guess Mr. Branch Leader's impatience is getting superb. I'm worried.

"But tomorrow I'm going to be a jerk, so I'll be a jerk"

"Really? I hope so. Because I was a little scared."

Mr. Branch Leader may have looked so impatient.

"Come, Milfilia. Let's take a walk together."

Refresh your mind, Woodbaum says. I was happy to offer.

Woodbaum doesn't waste time chatting and is slow on his walks, so he's going to fall asleep while walking when he's with it. The sound of Woodbaum's hooves treading on the grass keeps them constantly tempered and comfortable.

Once I stopped and stretched all the way out, I pulled out Woodbaum and ran out on my own. And when the distance was a little free, he stopped, looked back and waited, and when he caught up, he repeated his run again. You've done the same thing before.

Then I came to the back of the fort, and this again, just like before, the back door there opened up in momentum.

"Wow! Again!

It was also Mr. Rekka who came out of the inside. He looks blue, startled by the cold sweat with a fairy on his shoulder. I also spoke to Mr. Rekka, who tried to start squatting this time.

"Mr. Rekka, what are you doing?

"Dear Mill......!

"What are you doing here?

The hallway behind this door is a narrow, fortified passage. To the extent that it is subtly harsh for two large knights of the fort to walk side by side, there is a sense of oppression because they are surrounded by stone up, down, left and right.

"Actually, I was looking for Teena about my job, and while I was looking, I dared to go through this hallway in an attempt to train her to overcome phobia. Then I knew I couldn't..."

I couldn't get through, and I went out the door and retired along the way.

By the way, last time, she had to go down this hallway because Tina told me, "Me, I forgot the paper and the pen, so Mr. Lecca should stay out the back door ahead of me".

"Master Mill, I..."

Mr. Rekka crouched down and tried to touch me, but he turned back to me at the critical point and pulled his hand in. Mr. Rekka was on the same defensive team as Mr. Branch Leader in the exercise.

Speaking of which, it was on the defensive side as well, because Kix and Mr. Branch Leader are working hard in that state, and they're keeping the ban on contact properly, and so are the other knights.

We're all serious and great, but I'm also a little scared of tomorrow. Absolutely, it will be the second mood when I come back from grabbing you in the spring.

While I was worried about tomorrow, Mr. Rekka said when he stood up, he was disappointed in himself.

"I feel sorry for myself"

"Ah, Mr. Rekka!

I followed Mr. Rekka trying to walk away from this place, but I knew I couldn't catch up with him because of his fast legs.

Kid, stop running at full speed on the fox opponent!

The next day, I was rough at the fort.

Today is the banned day that I will be able to touch all the knights I lose in the exercise, so they attack me first to go.

My emotions are strong but hence the way I stroke them, so my hair gets messy, upside down, and bumpy as I expected. They try to touch my tail, my stomach, my ears and meatballs, too, but if I refuse, I can't even say I don't like it because I think it might be pathetic.

So as I fled to the shade of a tree with a woodbaum, I brought the crushed manju and the stuffed bird that Tina had given me, and I was bumping into the depression I had accumulated on it.

Bite on the stuffed animal and swing in a roar.

And when it's over, secure the stuffed animal with your forefoot, stick out the gazi gazi and the little fangs, and pull. Once away, he jumped as he jumped, bit again and swung a bump.

"That's a hell of a game."

Woodbaum said with a smile that he was fine.

"Ah, Milfilia, here comes the knight."

Woodbaum, who knows what causes me to be rough, looked forward and advised me so. I'll check your direction as I get out of position.

It was Mr. Branch Leader who came. Someone has come who is even harder to refuse to touch than the other knights.

I gave up running away and was hugged up very hard by the silently approaching branch chief.

But Mr. Branch Leader does not stroke me on this occasion, and when he looks around concerned about the gaze of the other knights, he apologizes to Woodbaum, "I'm sorry for yesterday and this morning," and then kidnaps me with his early feet.

... Were you still coming to Woodbaum this morning to hug me?

When you get to the back of the fort, check the perimeter there too. After you find out there's no one there,

"Mill......!

And, Mr. Branch Leader embraced me.

There is no need to explain what happened after that. They are even stroked and sometimes the fur just nods at their faces or smells them.

I wonder how long it'll be. I appreciate it when you're done with me in about enough, but I guess I can't. What a thought and wait even.

Since it wasn't enough, I gently bit Mr. Branch Leader's hand as he stroked his face and made a demand for his liberation. But Mr. Branch Leader seems to be happy with even the sweet bite, and he's happy to offer his hand, so this guy can't do it anymore.

You seemed like it wouldn't end forever. So it was hell, but I was forced to interrupt in an unexpected way.

The back door, which was just around the corner, suddenly opened and Mr. Rekka rolled out of it.

Perhaps he was training to overcome phobia again, from nervousness haha breath disturbing Mr. Rekka and the chief of the branch, who was roughing up his breathing with excitement, notice each other's presence and the air stops for a moment.

As only the fairy on Mr. Lekka drifted and moved, Mr. Lekka was surprised by the outfit of Mr. Branch Leader and circled her eyes.

Mr. Branch Leader was about to kneel on the ground, round his torso, and nod his face in my stomach.

……

……

I feel like a long time has passed, but I guess it was actually just a matter of a couple of seconds. When Mr. Branch Leader tightened his face softly and put on the ice mask, he rose up with an elegant work.

I look at Mr. Rekka with calm eyes, with his disturbed dark hair in my ear and his face like nothing had happened.

"Rekka. Hey, what's up?

Mr. Rekka answers in confusion.

"No, that's this dialogue (line)"

Everyone in the fort is quite shocked to see what Mr. Lekka really looks like, pretending not to know, that he hadn't noticed yet.

Mr. Branch Leader just got embarrassed, looking slightly away, he left Mr. Lekka saying "nothing" and left early enough.

Put me down rolling on my back.

"Dear Mill..."

Apparently, he didn't know what to do. Mr. Lekka looked at me rolling to the ground, seeking answers after dropping off the back of Mr. Branch Leader.

I answer with my stomach open.

"Shinochan has a side of Himitsu."

"That Cromwell Branch Leader..."

"Surprised?

"Yes, but...... I'm a little horrified"

So when I could flaunt my lips, Mr. Rekka continued.

"There was a familiar side to the team leader who looked perfect."

"Yes, I did. There's no such thing as a pepper, I'm sure."

Mr. Rekka nods at my words and says with a neat face.

"Right. I'm a little out of shoulder strength now, too."

"Good. Mr. Rekka is trying too hard. Hey, come here!

When I got up, I took Mr. Rekka to Woodbaum. Sitting in the shade of a tree, Woodbaum sleeps easily with his neck and head on the ground. The four legs, which are usually properly folded, were now collapsing and sticking out from under the body because of the relaxation.

"Look at the wood balm"

I told Mr. Rekka as I saw Woodbaum from a short distance away.

"You have to cure the buckwheat, but you're so relaxed. Of course, it's okay because relaxing and resting leads to healing, but it's not weird, is it?

What's missing from Mr. Rekka is that myth of pace.

Woodbaum is shaped like living in this fort, but while I appreciate the knights who take care of me, I have nothing more to shy away from than necessary. He rests at his own pace or walks freely by himself.

Because you're a spirit, or you don't really care about the eyes around you. I am not worried about any misunderstandings, such as the fact that I have to heal quickly because I am a resident or because I am annoyed by the knights. I don't use any extra nerves around here.

So the fruits of tranquillity are gradually emerging, and the rice is fine with two to one meal a day, and the beauty is returning to the bristles that were luscious and bossy.

The power still seems unstable, and it will take a little longer to fully heal, but it's definitely recovering.

"Woodbalm is trying to cure the buckwheat for himself. Why don't you think about it for yourself, too?"

Mr. Rekka cares too much about his surroundings, like he needs to heal his people so they don't bother him at work, or Mr. Teena, Woodbaum, or to meet my expectations.

I looked up at Mr. Rekka and continued.

"It's a good idea. Nobody's gonna give up how long it took. Let's do it slowly."

The fairy twirls around to endorse. Mr. Rekka lowered his brow and, as he slowed his expression down, laughed with a crying face.

"Yes, I will"

And he lifted my body and hugged me for a long time, saying, "It's been five days since I banned contact..." Licking around my ear in return makes me smile and let go of my face.

"Speaking of which, I've been wondering just now, is that...?

Mr. Rekka held me, pointing to the crushing manju falling next to Woodbaum.

"That's what Mr. Teena gave me. You know Mr. Rekka, don't you? I have a stuffed animal all over Tina's bed. Tina, I like to make stuffed animals."

"Oh, I knew it was Teena's"

Mr. Rekka gave a complicated look and looked at the crushed manju, and said.

"That one from Teena, that's an unexpected side, too. He's so cute, what he creates..."

Not to mention, Mr. Rekka hangs up the words there.

"But maybe that's one of her charms,"

To Mr. Lecca, who giggles, I also say, "Yeah! I answered."
