Life with a Tail

A few days after making one side of the neighborhood a snow country sight.

Because I practiced exhalation (braces), I could use fire exhalation like a hotline and water and wind exhalation like a water cutter or air hammer. But I couldn't use the kind of magic Ruti was using. Very sorry because it seemed convenient.

But I was still happy when I could do more, and I was singing my nose when I noticed when I was cooking dinner that day.

"How are you feeling?

"That's right. I knew you'd be happy to be able to do all sorts of things."

And so is Ruti, who helps me with my schedule. I knew it was okay not to be alone. It makes me feel better when I have someone to talk to. I guess it's fuller than when I lived alone on the freelancer. Except to be naked.

"Natsuki, I need to talk to you later, okay?

I made such an offer, then I carried the meal with me that I should just talk while eating.

"So, what happened to the conversation?

Ask while eating venison steak. The pepper works and is delicious.

"Uh yeah, I'm tired and the food's got a purpose, so I thought it was time to go for Aristotle"

Yes, it was. Ruti crashed here on his way to Aristotle in the first place. I totally forgot because it was a few days but we had fun together.

"Oh well... I've been under the illusion that we could be together for a long time, but you originally planned to..."

I feel unspeakable loneliness and I feel depressed.

"So here's one suggestion, why don't you join Natsuki?

"Huh?... I'd like to go... okay? I don't even have anything to wear."

"That's why. In the meantime, I'll lend you my coat, so when you get to the city, buy some clothes. Because that's how much money I have."

When I say there's no such thing as asking you to give me money, I don't ask you to let me do this because I got help. But it is true that I wanted clothes, so I was reluctantly convinced that I would pay back the clothes and other expenses incurred one of these days.

"I wish I didn't have to give it back"

"No, we have to be clear about the money."

"That's weird and stiff... well fine. Then prepare the day tomorrow, and leave the morning after tomorrow."

After that, I decided to schedule a crisp and messy appointment.

◇ ◆ ◇

"Ruti, wait a minute!

"Yep... even though it's still a lot too late"

I'm glad I finished getting ready and left with a lot of excitement, but there was an unexpected problem.

I was practicing exhalation, but I wasn't practicing flying at the heart.

Whatever it takes to fly around the house for a bit, this time it will fly long distances, and at a corresponding speed. But I don't get speed because I wasn't practicing, and I get tired right away.

"Hino... Hino...!

"There you go. Good luck. Patience until you get used to it. For now, to the big tree over there."

"Far from it. No!

Ruti's ghost! and so on and screamed in my heart and kept flying regrettably for not practicing.

"Phew... Phew... I'm tired..."

"Yes, good luck. I'm a little behind schedule, but I guess it'll be all right because in two days I'll be used to it and it'll pick up pace. And regardless of fatigue, you use magic when you're flying, so if you're aware of your wings and use magic, you'll increase your speed, right?

Ruti receives the water removed from the shadows and spills it asleep as he listens to it and relaxes.

"... I wish you'd said it sooner, it..."

◇ ◆ ◇

You got the hang of it, and I got used to flying long distances in about two days, as Ruti said, so I could enjoy the trip in the sky.

I got drunk when I did it that it was a barrel roll or a loop...

Ruti stunned me, but I decided not to care.

Then further, even keep flying through the woods for a week or so. The time has finally come.

"Look, Natsuki! I can see it!

"Ooh!

That said. In the direction Ruti points, the grasslands that follow the blue. From there it is already Aristotle Kingdom territory. The grassland is swept by the wind, as if it were a green carpet.

It may be a sight that has never happened to anyone familiar with it, but for me, who has only seen the woods since I came to this world, the sight was very moving.

"Look for the streets when you're completely out of the woods, and I'll walk from there."

"Yes!"

What is the city like in this world? I went down to the ground with great expectations and a little anxiety.
