Legend

"Wow!

Suddenly descending from the sky, Epica unwittingly raises her voice to a gigantic being over 2 m long.

Still, even if that voice was full of amazement, it probably didn't have the color of fear because Epica still barely knew the monster's horror well.

… the most threatening monsters in this village called Goto, near the Seremouth Plains, are undead monsters like zombies and skeletons.

I guess Griffon's Ceto, like the one that just came down from the air with wings flapping, just didn't remember the threat as a stranger.

Though Seto boasts a giant body many times bigger than his child, Epica, he would not have been able to remember the threat very much if he had seen him approaching Ray the moment it came down, stroking his throat with joy and rubbing his head.

If there were such a thing as bandits and other monsters attacking, naturally Seto would be quite alert.

But now I'm around Seto with my favorite partner, Ray, and one little kid still.

It was impossible to be alert to Seto in that state.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

"Oh, I'm sorry you left me alone. But sometimes it's not bad to try flying in the sky without me, is it?

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto distracts himself from his gaze by honking his throat like he was somewhere obstinate.

In that way, Ray smiles small and strokes his head.

"Look, he said it was bad. That's why you came out of the village, isn't it? For now, I'll play with you till evening, so fix your mood."

"Gru?"

Are you sure you're reflecting? Ray nods as he strokes Seto's neck at Seto tilting his little neck.

Keep looking, from Ceto to Epica, who is shining her eyes next to herself.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seto noticed Ray's gaze like that too, turning his face toward Epica and honking his throat

Epica was surprised for a moment by the trick, but gazed at Seto as he looked down at himself with his circular eyes, then turned to Ray and opened his mouth.

"Hey, hey, brother. Can I stroke you, too?

"Oh, as long as we don't make it rampant, we'll be fine. Hey, Seto?

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto lowers his head to an easy position to stroke Epica as he rings his throat.

Epica gently reaches out to Seto's head like that.

The first thing I touched was the feeling of fluffy and smooth feathers.

Epica grins at the feeling she wants to touch forever.

"Wow, wow... you know, brother. What's this kid's name?

"Ceto. It's a griffon ceto."

"Seto... Seto"

"Gru?"

Did you notice that you called your own name, Seto leaning his little neck and turning his circular eyes towards Epica?

Epica gazing at Seto.

Could you be scared? I thought so too, Ray, but that worry soon disappears.

Epica's face turned into a laugh.

It would have been impossible if we knew the common sense of monsters around here.

While stroking Seto's head, Ray smiled unexpectedly at Epica, who was grinning, looking around and picking up a branch of a tree that was falling to the ground.

"Epica, watch this, okay?

"Huh? What?

"Look, just get away from Seto for a second.... Seto, okay?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

With the tree branch Ray held in his hand, I guess he understood what he would do. One step, two steps and retreat with a delightful throat.

……

Epica looks at that with a strange look on her face.

"Let's go, Seto! Get it!

Speaking sharply to Seto, he threw the branches of the tree he had into the distance to draw a loud arc.

Goto is also made in the meadows because of the need to make fields. In such a meadow, Seto rushes quickly after branches of thrown trees.

The wings were Ceto running on the ground with only four legs without use, but their velocity was far above that of a coarse military horse.

Keep kicking the ground and keep following the branches of the tree despite the hard running body called the eagle's forefoot...

"Grr!"

Ringing sharply, jumping.

Successfully scratch the branches of trees in the air with couches.

"Wow, wow, wow! It's amazing, brother!

Epica screams as excited about how Seto looks like that.

"Right? Then you'll try next?

"Uh, okay?

"Oh. I'm glad you're getting along with Seto. The truth is, it would be interesting to have a flying disc."

When I was in Japan in the back of my brain, I see the sight of playing on a flying disc with a dog. But there can't be such a thing in this world.

Or the shape itself is not that complicated, so maybe it can be substituted with a plate of wood.

"Flying disc?

"No, it's nothing.... Look, Seto's back. It's your turn next."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"Oh, yeah. All right, Seto. I'm coming!"

Epica, who receives the branches of the tree that were stuck in Seto's couch, throws them large after a few steps of aid.

I guess it's because I'm just a kid's epika. The branches of thrown trees fly to a completely different place than they were after...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto follows the branches of the tree with a roar.

He is a child, therefore the branches of the trees thrown cannot be thrown that high.

Still, the speed that drives through Seto's land is quick, and he succeeds in catching it with a stunning couch before the tree branches fall to the ground.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto gives the branches clad in the couchworm to Epica as he rings his throat.

Those circular eyes demanded praise and praise.

"Haha, haha. Seto, that's amazing. I can't believe you're getting that one that went that way."

Epica strokes her head down so that it is easy to stroke her with a grin, with those little hands.

Would it have eventually been a few minutes as it was?

Epica, letting go of her hand from Seto's head, glances at Ray with her eyes shining.

"Hey, brother. Can I do it again?

"Oh, Seto's been making me cramped here lately, too. Play with your mind."

"Yeah!"

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ceto, who plays and plays and rattles his throat, Epica throws the branches of the tree again.

Now unlike earlier, we fly into the mountains to where we aim.

Run it through the ground the same way earlier, and while it's in the air, Seto can do it with couchworms.

Awesome makes his eyes shine, and Epica throws a tree branch more than once, and Seto takes it.

Would it have eventually been about 20 minutes? I did everything I could to throw a branch of a tree. In Epica, still a child, it was only natural that the limits to health came.

"Ha, ha, ha... uh, I'm tired. Sorry, Seto. Give me a break."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto turns his gaze towards Ray for a moment to Epica's words.

And when Ray nodded, Seto fell asleep on the meadow, wrapping the lion's tail around Epica's torso and pulling it, causing him to keep his weight in his torso.

"Wow... it's a hookah. Is that okay, Seto?

"Gru."

Of course, in Seto's torso, Epica deposits her body to indulge in the smooth hairs of her touch.

Eventually, due to two effects: tiredness and comfort, Epica was still resting as she hugged Seto, if she noticed.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

It was Seto who leaned his neck and turned his gaze towards Epica, but eventually turned his head towards Ray, who was watching himself a little further away.

We can keep this up, right? Ray nods with a small grin at Seto, who stares at him with the meaning of such confirmation, and goes under Seto, who is falling asleep in the meadow because of himself anyway.

"Gru."

Leaning against Seto's body opposite Epica, Ray takes a big breath and looks up at the sky.

Until a few hours ago, I was flying through this sky on Ceto, but it came to me with a different thought then.

Blue sky, like it's spreading high everywhere. White clouds swelling like cotton candy.

I feel the heat characteristic of summer, but I think it's because I'm in the meadow and the wind is blowing quite a bit. I don't feel the humid heat I feel all over the city of Gilm.

(I guess that's why Epica can sleep like this too)

There will also be differences of place within the same kingdom of Mireana. Even if you say the kingdom of Mireana in a bite, it's only the big country and its area is huge.

Looking up at the sky that way, thinking in my head as I hit the wind, eventually a sleeper strikes me as the wind invites me.

I slept well in the magic tent at night, but he was no match for this cheerful.

"Mm, Seto... after a little while... wake me up"

"Gru."

Ray's consciousness fell into darkness as he heard Seto answer the call.

"... hmm?

I remember the feeling of my consciousness surfacing rapidly and open my eyes.

Coming into my sight are a few shadows approaching this one.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

"Seto... sorry"

Apparently it was Seto who woke himself up asleep, hanging words.

To the evidence, Seto's tail was stretched near Ray's body.

What brings us closer to ourselves is a familiar face. There is also the figure of Luchard next to the villagers of Goto, who were the first to be blocked from letting them pass into the village when Ray came.

However, it's not the sharp gaze on its face… it's the look on its face that makes it look like it's in trouble somewhere, and then you're laughing bitterly.

"What's up, look delightful"

"Well, I'm not a good guy like you anyway."

Stop on the spot while complaining about Ray's words.

I guess Seto is still the reason I stopped.

But aside from the gaze that can be directed at Seto and the gaze of fear and awe, there is a calm color somewhere.

That wouldn't have anything to do with being a pillow replacement for Ray or Epica.

"I don't care what you say. The kid's disappearing from the village, so it's natural to look for him, right? Some people said Ray must have taken Epica away."

That's what I told him, and Luchard turns his gaze to the man who complained to Ray.

I guess I felt something awkward about the gaze that could be directed from Luchard. A man opens his mouth as if to mislead something.

"You can't help it, because this kid was actually gone sometime, and Epica was gone. Nobody thinks you're napping outside the village."

"No, well, I certainly can't deny that. I just wanted to hang out with Seto for a second. Especially if there's something we should hurry to do."

Ray strokes Seto's head as he leaves his weight on Seto's body and gazes toward himself.

I take it, and the sound of my throat rattling at my comfort echoes around me.

If you heard the sound of ringing your throat now without knowing anything, or you might have had fear in your chest.

But in a situation where Ray was stroking me and I was closing my eyes to make me feel good, I couldn't hold something like fear or awe, although not very much.

Ningro, the villagers realize that they will have some kind glance at themselves.

"Mm-hmm... is that it? What's the matter with you?

I guess the sound of Seto's throat ringing now transmitted and sounded his body. Epica looks around as she rubs her eyes.

And when you put into view the adults in the village, starting with Luchard, you become vicious.

"Epica, you can't go outside the village... Didn't they tell you?

"Oh, that's..."

To the words that came out of Luchard's mouth, leaning apica.

Ray, who sees it, breathes a small sigh and pinches his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who took Epica out of the village. Don't scold me too much, will you?

"... Ray. It must be true that you took him out. But I've been telling Epica before that we shouldn't be outside the village. To others... that's also the problem with lightly breaking it in the words of Ray, who's just come to the village. I'm sorry, but this is a village issue. I want you to shut up and watch."

Tell him so, and slowly walk towards Epica, Luchard.

Epica also rises away from Seto, who was leaning in haste, and approaches Ruchard.

Keep your hands up...... Ruchard's hands were placed on Pong, and on Epica's head.

I guess he thought he'd be punished in some way, even if he didn't even have to be beaten up... Epica's eyes are wide open and his gaze is turned to Luchard.

"There was Ray, and I wasn't worried about Epica's safety. But your father and your mother were worried that you wouldn't be able to see Epica after work. Apologize properly."

"... yeah"

"All right, you just have to know. Shall we go back to the village, then? I told you not to get too mad at me."

"Yeah!"

"Ray was bad, too. Epica annoyed me. Because I don't have kids my age in the village, I really..."

Ray gets up with his neck swinging sideways to Luchard, who asks him that with his gaze to himself.

"I've had time to lose, too. In a way, just fine."

"Really? Then why don't you keep playing with Epica?

Talking like that, Seto and I broke up and went back to the village to talk about things we couldn't do during the day at Ruchard's house.
