Egret

"Wow, Cristina looks so upset.

"It's bad to say who likes you?

Yes. Are you annoyed that a man who doesn't like you confesses?

Oh, that's not it.

Carney, who is caught between two spirits who do not understand the situation, shakes her head.

I don't think I'm angry for just one reason.

So?

Carney blinks at a circle of scarlet eyes with her fingers pointing at her lips.

"The human mind is so complex, I can't define it. Of course, the opponent might not like it, but he would have been so embarrassed by it.

"If you're embarrassed, why are you angry?

I think Cristina is probably the last thing she's angry at herself about. If you don't feel like there's anything you can do for your favorite opponent, it can be projected and you can get even angrier.

What's a fighter?

It means that you have shown yourself to others without knowing it. I feel like I'm looking at a mirror that illuminates my secret heart.

In spite of Uni's supplementary explanation, Tony still had a gorgeous look.

Does that mean you're mad at yourself after all?

"Huhu, that means something like that. But it's a little different.

Carney flies through the red wings and clutches Judas' fingers.

If we are called Lesser Spirits. Even if you want to make a contract with Igrett, there are many other strong and wonderful spirits around, so you can't talk. Because of the idea that he'd make a deal with me.

Aeae! I am not a junior spirit!

What if. Just imagine. If Igrett hadn't signed with us, we'd be hovering around. In the meantime, what would you feel like if another human asked for a contract? Contract, can you do it?

……?!

Tony, who heard the example, quickly became a depressed expression.

The spirit of the land, shocked by imagination, flew into the arms of the contractor and burst into tears.

"No! I won't! I'll never do it!

“Oh, my God, Tony. Calm down."

Judas wraps Tony in panic with both hands.

Inside, Tony snorts and frowns.

"But Greg. I don't want another contractor unless you do.

“Yes, I know. Neither do I.”

‘If it isn't for you, I have something I don't have right now. ’

Tony slowly stopped crying because of the warm affection he shared, even though he didn't have to say it.

Uni, who wasn't crying like the ground but was crossing his arms with a bad mood, flew over his shoulders and sat down and said.

"Hmmm, Carney made me understand. It's your problem after all.

Judas nods quietly.

‘On top of that, I think it was offensive to be misrepresented by gender. ’

Essentially, there was no need to create confusion by referring to spirits that were not gender divided.

He decided to pretend I didn't know Cristina's wounds.

Even though he missed one of the most important things, no one knew about it.

The desert night was quite cold.

It was already spring in the season, but the coolness seemed to come again.

Travelers who enjoyed the silence at night all went into the tent of rest and asked for sleep.

I didn't even hear the drunken poet's voice anymore.

“Beep. Beep. ”

“Argh……. All right, all right, Fluby. ”

After breaking the silence of the night, Baikal, holding Mini Wyvern in his arms like a sack of sacks, walked out of the way.

He wakes up and yawns with his face covered in drowsiness.

“Oh, you sleepless snake. ”

“Beep!”

The dry weather in the desert drew moisture out of the body and caused the fluby to turn into a tiny, unbearable thirst.

Blue Wyvern originally lived in a lot of water, so the desert was like a natural enemy to him.

Knowing that, Baikal took a weeping fluby to the oasis next to the resting place in the middle of the night.

“What a nuisance. ”

“Beep……. ”

“Okay, don't cry because it's loud. Wyvern's heart is weak. ”

In Baikal's gilta, Fluvi quickly became agitated and wept.

He hurriedly moved to the oasis, embarrassed by the wind.

“Here we are. Now you play on your own. ”

“Beep!”

Fluvi smashes his wings in a hue of excitement.

When I saw it, I couldn't fly, but I often looked at the one who ran towards the water with a short leg, and Bical laughed.

“Come on, if it gets too big, people will be surprised, so drink a little water. ”

Fluvi, who knows his party, does not enter the water, but rubs himself on the nearby moist ground.

Then I stretched out my head and began to lick the water.

Baikal looked around, feeling strangely, rather than watching him closely.

There was one more disturbing sound, besides the flute howling in the water.

“Phew... Phew..." ”

“Argh! Really!”

It was the worst situation for Baikal, who was terrified of the horror.

When he recalls the Spirit Lagrima of Tears he met in Lubach, he grinds his teeth in disquieting nervousness.

“Why, why do you keep talking to me? ”

“Huff, huff, huff. ”

“ ……. ”

The grim cries of a woman coming from a dark oasis made her spine stand still.

Baikal couldn't stand it and called Fluvi awkwardly.

“Fluvi, come on. ”

“Beeping?”

In the meantime, the flute, which turned on the water excitedly and blew to the level of a large dog, came running upside down.

Baikal grabs Fluvy and looks around.

“Can you hear this? ”

“Beep?”

“Sounds like someone's just crying. ”

“Pee!”

Fluvi once flew out of his arms with his tail.

Nolan Baikal reaches out to him, but he's already running forward.

He moves his legs after Fluvi, trembling.

“Uh, uh, where are you...? ”

“Beep.”

The answer came back in the dark.

Baikal approaches the sound direction with a trembling step.

“Fluvi?"

“Sniff. Who are you? ”

“Argh!”

Suddenly, Baikal, who had encountered someone standing by the water, almost suffocated.

The other person, staring down at him with a stunned butt, greets him with tears.

“Ah, a knight like Sir Chris..... sniff. ”

“... Miss Uriel? ”

Fortunately, we knew each other.

Baikal only realized that the real person was crying, not a ghost.

Uriel snorts and bites at him as he rises, shaking his butt.

“What are you doing here at this hour? ”

“A walk, a walk. Hahaha."

“Beep!”

Running to him, the fluffy in his arms again swung his long tail and wept with pleasure.

“I can't believe you're taking me for a walk at night. It's amazing."

“No, well. Then why is Miss Uriel here? ”

I couldn't help but wonder why I was crying.

Uriel shrugs with a smile.

“It was a car. It was the first time I was born and confessed. ”

“Hmm. That's a shame. Cheer up!"

Even this time, I could not tell Cristina that she was a real woman, and only a clumsy consolation flowed out.

“No, I'm not sorry at all. ”

Uriel shakes his head on the roof.

“I've been thinking. Sir Chris was right. There was nothing I could do for him. ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, I can't even buy food because I'm out of money right now. I have to sell camels to buy bread for a few days. ”

“Well, how did you manage to keep up with that? ”

“I didn't want to miss him. ”

“That's reckless.”

“I see. I was reckless, stupid, useless...... that's what I was. ”

‘No, I didn't say that. ’

Baikal panics and tears gush back into her cheeks between her mouths.

Yuriel, who wipes his cheeks with his messy sleeves, looks at the oasis and sticks his furry ass in place.

Then he grabbed his knee as he looked up.

“I didn't really know what to do. I didn't even think about what to do on my own. I thought it would be a happy ending if I just got married. ”

Baikal sat quietly beside her.

The moon and stars shined round above the oasis during the dark night.

“I didn't know what it was to be scared without money. It is also true that there is no" just Yuriel "anywhere, not the love of the Shiz family. The most annoying thing is that I'm starving right now. ”

“Of course it is. Because the body can't lie. ”

“Phew! I feel so pathetic that I'm going to die embarrassed. How ridiculous Sir Chris must have been. ”

‘No, I think it was funny in a different way than that. ’

Cristina's position, unintentionally mistaken for a man, was simply Nansen.

Baikal opens his mouth when he recalls her cold-hardened expression.

“So you're going home now? ”

“No.”

“Well thought out…… What? ”

Of course, his expression was distorted when he thought he was going home.

“It doesn't change when you look back at it. At least after I know how to do something on my own, and I can take responsibility for wanting someone to do it. ”

Uriel got up from his seat first.

“I want to go back then. ”

Uriel smiles brightly, though it was a frowny face with sand turned upside down.

Finally, the teardrops that were hanging from the eyelashes fell to the ground.

“Hey, don't look at me like that, because I'm not going after you anymore. Now I really have to go alone. ”

“Huh, really? ”

“Yes! But it's really cool to talk about it. Thank you.... What is Sir's name? ”

She later realizes that she has not even heard the other person's name.

Baikal smiles at Uriel, who looks sorry.

“It's Baikal.”

“Thank you, Lord Baikal. ”

Baikal thought it was strange at that moment.

‘What? It was so dark before, but it felt a little bright around Miss Uriel. ’

Compared to the surroundings, it was definitely the case.

At first, my eyes were ripe in the darkness, and I could see even the finest movements, as if I had activated vision magic.

Baikal realized that her body was shedding light weakly even in the dark.

It was the moment he stood up with his hands extended toward the back of Uriel as he moved away.

“Wait……. ”

“Argh!? ”

The unknown man who appeared in the darkness twisted Uriel's mouth with a handkerchief.

Uriel, who closed his mouth in the fire and inhaled the anesthetic powder that was buried in it, stretched out like a corpse within days.

Seeing him, Baikal hurriedly pulls the staff out of the lobe.

“What have you done! ”

Per billion!

His back aches and his strength escapes from his hands.

Baikal blinked at the blurred vision, missing the staff.

“…… Huh? ”

Glug, I felt hot blood flowing through my neck.

Without further thought, he collapsed on the spot.

The man who surrounded Uriel came forward.

“What about the witness? ”

“We have to get rid of it. Take it with you. ”

Another gang that raided Baikal from behind showed up and surrounded him equally.

Then Fluvi, who was guarding his side, cracked his teeth and rushed.

“Beep! Beep! ”

“What, this crazy bird. ”

They were so small that they didn't think it was Mitcher Wyvern that they kicked the running fluby with their feet.

“Argh.”

Fluvi, whose strength had decreased by a small amount, kicked his feet without a pulse and rolled.

The men who watched Fluby sink into the Fondation Oasis jumped out of their seats, each carrying a pair of Uriel and Bical.
