Taketo spins words quietly.

"So.... Will you come with me?"

Mandragola looked silently at the tacket in front of her.

The tacket continued.

"If you come with me, you will be quarantined for the rest of your life. But if you don't come, I'm gonna have to kill you right here."

There is no doubt that this beast understands human language. You can read books, so you can understand the words spoken. That's why I didn't want to lie and deceive you.

Describe the current situation and possible options.

"But if you come, I'll do everything I can. Even books persuade the people above to read as much as possible. So... why don't you come with me?

While crouching in front of Mandragora, the tacket smiled small.

Mandragora was staring at the tacket, but his eyes slowly opened as if they were surprised by something. And when I turned up, I opened my mouth wide.

(Eh....)

When Mandragora raised the "Scream of Death" earlier, the motion came to mind behind the tacket and bluished. That's how I remembered screaming upwards.

"Hi, hieh...!

Taketo felt his life in danger and panicked greatly. Wow, I tried to run away, but my waist fell loose with a butt mochi, and it was best to keep sticking and back.

I was not confident that I could endure the "Scream of Death" at this close range. However, even if you run away, your body doesn't move well due to fear. I knew it would be useless, but I held my hands against my ears and narrowed my body to close my eyes.

However, no matter how long you wait, the pain caused by the "Scream of Death" will not come.

"Ah, let me...?

When I opened my eyes and looked at Mandragora, it certainly seemed like I was speaking out with my mouth open. But I can't hear anything in the tacket's ear, and I'm not uncomfortable with my body.

When I looked at Mandragora, I saw her eyes facing upwards and her tears were pouring down.

What was leaking out of his mouth was not a "scream of death", but an ordinary swallowing.

I was just crying.

Strangely, the tacket sat back on the spot. Then came to mind the words that Karon and Brigitta had spoken on the carriage on the way to the Mansion.

I thought you said Mandragora has the power to predict the future. Have you seen anything happen to the future? I didn't know that, but if it wasn't for the Scream of Death, my life wouldn't be in danger.

Once again, Taketo crawled close to Mandragora, gently pointing out his right hand.

Mandragora stops crying and looks at the tacket with neat eyes. Eventually, wrinkled roots appeared between the long pale green hair. It was my hand.

When the hand overlaps the right hand of the tacket, the tacket grabs it.

Okay, that's settled.

That's how the tacket responded with a smile.

Then, holding the broken book and the two books that Mandragora was currently reading, while holding hands, he turned to the door. Mandragora follows with great care.

When I opened the door, I saw Karon and Brigitta in the hallway. They looked terribly surprised that Taketo had come out with Mandragola.

The tacket is graphite taken out of the pocket and written on the floor, "It seems to have settled down, so I'll take you to Ulu." Brigitta nodded slightly, pointing to the front entrance as she quickly hid behind Karon.

I'll take Mandragola's hand and walk you there. Mandragora was only about 50 centimeters long, so she looked like an old man, but felt strange walking with a young child.

Outside the Mansion, it stopped raining at some point, and sunlight was pouring in from the gray clouds.

I can see Chante rushing in. Behind her, Ulu slightly woke up with a large body, and he sucked a stone cage into his mouth to talk about her.

As she came to the front of the tacket, she bent down on her lap and gazed strangely at the green thing that the tacket had brought.

The Mandragora grabbed his clothes in hiding behind the tacket because he was afraid of Ulu. It seems like you've been completely missed.

This is Mandragora. Now that I'm grown up, I wonder if you could open the cage door. "

When Taketo wrote so on the ground, Chante nodded and told Ulu to drop the stone cage and open the door.

"It's a little narrow, but it's just for the time being. May I come in?

When Taketo tells Mandragola on his back, he gives out the book he had in his hand.

"Oh, but... There are no windows. Can't you read them in the dark? What should I do...? If you put in a lamp or something, you'll suffocate... ah, yes. Wait a minute."

In the meantime, when Mandragola enters the stone cage, the tacket returns to the Mansion. I just met some of the Karons who were walking over here, and Taketo asked me to get what was in Karon.

Karon looked suspicious for a moment, but seeing Mandragora sitting with Petan holding a book in a stone cage, he seemed to know the intentions of the tacket. He looked around the room and found it installed near the ceiling, kicking the floor and the wall and jumping. They quickly approach the sole and pick up the sole placed on a small dedicated pedestal.

What Karon came down with was a magic stone containing the Spirit of Light used for lighting.

Sankyu

And he smiled and received the magic stone of light from Karon, and Taketo put it in the corner of the stone cage in Mandragora. The cage was filled with light, but the brightness was quickly adjusted to automatically adjust the amount of light. As the book became easier to read, Mandragora began to read the book on her lap with joy. Confirming his appearance, the tacket closes the door of the patent and cage.

Soon Ulu sucked the handle attached to the top of the cage. And with Chante, who was on Ur's back, they ran along the way of the raining king's city, and went out of the city.

They are supposed to take Mandragola to an unused building deep in the woods of the royal palace. In case Mandragola raises the "Scream of Death", it will not affect the neighborhood. We were going to quarantine there.

"Ah, it's over!!!

When stretched slightly, the tacket removes the earplug from the ear. The earplug in my hand was red stained with blood when I broke my tympanic membrane.

The sound returns rapidly to a world without sound. Even so, the tympanic membrane was torn, so I only heard about a third of what I normally did, but I was kind of relieved when the sound came back.
