At the Northern Fort

Parents and children of the Spirit (3)

When Kun-kun rang and backed up, Mr. Daffine nodded at me before letting him resume the conversation with his father again.

"Wartrust, it's not good for the Spirit to solidify in one place. Both Kugarg and Heililis come here often to show their faces, and people from other countries might get that rumor. That way, humans could start fighting because they think this land is attractive to the Spirit. Or maybe you realize the fact that Milfiria, a nostalgic spirit, is at the heart of us. Then Milfiria will be targeted, too."

His father looked at Mr. Daffine with deep lake-like eyes and seemed to be listening seriously.

"You don't care about what's around you, you don't care about people, but I think you should think about that a little bit."

…………

My father seemed unwilling to contest Mr. Daffine's words. But don't forget to look at Woodbaum on the side.

Woodbaum said in a hurry.

"Me, me, me, I feel so much better already, and I was wondering if it was time to leave here, oh, I was just thinking..."

Father, don't look at Woodbalm.

"... I didn't mean to stare"

"Don't stare."

"Right..."

Father honestly closed his eyes. I speak to Woodbaum out of my mother's arms, where I began to get drunk.

"Woodbalm, you still can't use your powers properly, can you?

The hairs are getting cleaner, but I guess they haven't completely healed, considering what happened in the pantry earlier.

If we leave here and go to a place with a bad environment, we will be depressed again.

"You should still be here."

"But..."

Woodbaum seems to care about your father. And so Mr. Daffine opened his mouth.

"Then why don't you go to your parents? Now, uh, Woodbaum is you, so he put it back in his childhood name, didn't he? I wonder what it was."

"It's Hadbaum. You know my father?

"I have a wider face among spirits. I also know Hadbaum. But why didn't you rely on him from the beginning? Though I think the forest of his residence is a good place to rest."

"I couldn't fly because I couldn't use mobility. Besides, I'm already an adult, and I'm embarrassed to rely on my parents."

"You just have to rely on me at times like this. Wait, I'll talk to Hadbaum once."

When he finishes his conversation with Sakukukuku and Woodbaum, Mr. Daffine disappears to dissolve on the ground. I can count on you.

"Father, you can't even open your eyes anymore. If Woodbalm goes to your father, it won't be Fuko anymore, will it?

"... right. Fair enough...... I'll go home too..."

Good. The knights of the fort are also openly hoarse behind them.

And the moment my father suddenly changed into a human form and came this way, I thought something, my mother's body swayed.

"Wop......!

I was in my mother's arms. I thought I would fall to the ground too, but my father supported me every mother and I was safe.

"Mother? Did you?

She looks red and sleeps comfortably.

"I think I drank a lot..."

My father also dropped his gaze on my mother's face and said:

Woodbaum looks at us like that and twists his neck gently.

"I knew it was strange. I can't believe the Spirit has three parents and children."

When I change into a human form, I rub my face against my father's chest with a smile and give it back like this.

"This is how you should sweeten Woodbalm when he gets back to your father, too"

"It's embarrassing."

Woodbaum blushed under his brown fur but seemed to think I'd give it a try.

Sounds like Mr. Daffine is back sooner than I thought he would, and the ground buoys to form the shape of a person. That quickly turned into a beauty in a black dress.

"I've been talking to you. If Woodbaum says he can't use mobility yet, I'll take him to Hadbaum."

"What did Dad say? Don't you think a child who should have been alone is coming home?"

"It's okay. It's been a long time since I've seen you."

"Really?"

Woodbaum happily broke his face. I wonder if the existence of a parent is special no matter how old it is.

Stepping on the soil with his hooves and inverting his body, Woodbaum turned first to the knights.

"It was a short time, but you took care of me, thank you. I was a little disappointed in humans, but I changed my mind when I met you guys. Humans can break something, but they can heal and heal."

Mr. Rekka was nodding back small to Woodbaum, who smiled and said:

I wonder if Mr. Rekka could have healed his heart in this northern fort, too. Everyone in the fort looks far from 'healing', but the contents are sweet.

I guess it was important for Woodbaum to rest in a clean land while eating something from this land, but I looked into the eyes of Woodbaum, who is now glowing calmly, and thought that abandoning negative feelings for humans might also have been important for recovery.

Woodbaum seems to think so himself, saying he didn't resent just being disappointed in humans, but at the bottom of his mind, something like self-centered anger towards humans might have accumulated before he even realized it.

There were times when a fairy created by Woodbaum attacked a knight.

And I wonder if that negative emotion was the source of the disease.

Thinking about it, it would have been nice if Woodbaum had dealt with humans in this northern fortress and changed his impression of humans.

Thanks not only to this clean land, but also to all the knights, Woodbaum has been well in a short period of time.

Woodbaum keeps smiling.

"When you're fully recovered, I can always help you if you want. Call me if you want green in the fort."

"No, enough green..."

Kicks says blush, and all the knights are nodding quickly too.

Woodbaum next came close to me and looked at me.

"Thanks Milfilia too. Watching Milfiria get along with the humans made me feel better, too. It was fun."

That's what I say, stick my nose tip to my forehead and circle around.

"Oh, don't get lonely when you leave. Come and visit me with Kugarg."

"Yeah! I'll be right there."

"Absolutely."

Father catches his gaze on Woodbaum, who will always grope. Is it tough on Woodbaum even though he is tolerant of Kugarg because he is an adult spirit?

I don't think you found out about calling Woodbaum "Pa Pa" and playing with my parents and kids.

Woodbaum stood next to Mr. Daffine as he retreated tremendously and turned into a person.

Even in a person's appearance, the hair in the crease is glossy, the clothes are beautiful, and a little spiritual power seems to have emerged. Unlike when I was stunned, my eyes have power, and my appearance is not flashy, but neat, and I have the charm of stopping my eyes.

"Thanks, I'll see you later"

Woodbaum, with Mr. Daffine, disappeared to be sucked into the ground.

"Bubba!

Keep your hands up and wave hard, supported by your father with your mother.

When Woodbaum and Mr. Daffine were gone, I looked up to my father and said:

"Then let's go to your father's shrimp! The three of us relax by Mizumi's side."

My mother's already resting easy, but, well, no.

"Let's do that..."

Father happily lifts the edge of his lips just a little bit.

This looks like the biggest smile ever.
