Life with a Tail

When I realized it, I slept in bed. I think it's probably an inn because it's a familiar ceiling.

When did you get here?

Ruti hugged me at the cafe, and then... no, what about Ruti? I thought, and when I looked next door, I was relieved that Ruti was asleep easily. Yeah, you have a pretty sleeping face.

"... ahhh"

I blurred to see Ruti's sleeping face as it was, and I felt relieved and drowsy again.

I'm not out of tiredness yet, and the Mages are off for a while, so let's go back to sleep like this...

"Hmmm......"

Now I wake up feeling something being touched. I'm tired. Who are you?

When I opened my eyes in a slightly grumpy manner, Ruti felt my cheeky puffiness.

"... Ruti, what are you doing?

"Mmm."

"Hmm?

"... I thought you were back"

... If you say that already, the grievances you've caused will go somewhere.

I accidentally held Ruti and buried her face in the neck.

"Smells good"

It's been a long time since I've smelled ruti and it calms me down very much. I even kissed my neck muscle as it was.

"Ah! Hey! I didn't take a bath yesterday, so no!

"Is that it? Really?

Of course I'm not in there because my consciousness didn't fly yesterday. And Ruti?

"And yet, didn't Natsuki carry me? I think I fell asleep yesterday after I hugged Natsuki, and when I realized I was in the inn."

"Yeah, I was out of consciousness then, too. I was wondering if Ruti carried me, too, but then who's this far?

"Because I just thought it was nuts... Um, would that be around Phil?

If we look closely at each other, I am the uniform of the Mages, Ruti remains the uniform of the café.

It was probably transported directly from where it fell, so I guess it's more likely Phil carried it for me. Chill's not that powerful, and Mr. Reasner won't be able to leave the store, will he?

"I have to thank you next time I see you."

"Right. I missed something on the way out, so it's too much. Chill and Mr. Reasoner had a tough time, so I have to thank you."

Uh, halfway through, Phil would have temporarily pulled out to carry us too, so the burden on the two of us would have been considerable... Let's buy some sweets for the three of us.

"Shall I take a bath for now? I want to change from my uniform."

"I did."

Grab a bath set and go to the bathroom together.

Wash as usual before entering the hot tub.

"" Huh. ""

Except when I was camping, I should have been in there every day, but I feel exceptional about today's bath, among other things.

"Hey Ruti, how did you fall asleep yesterday after you hugged me?

"Well, I'd like to give it back to Natsuki just like that."

"I can't sleep well because I don't have a ruti next door..."

I got embarrassed as I said it and dipped it in the hot tub to my mouth.

".................. same goes for me. I can't calm down without Natsuki..."

Ruti also blushes and soaks up to his mouth.

We did that to each other for a while, but we kind of went crazy and started laughing when we looked at each other.

"Pfft, heh. Ruti's no good anymore."

"Heh heh, Natsuki is not the bad girl."

I laugh a little bit when I dull, and look at Ruti again and say.

"True, I'd be a bad kid without Ruti"

"I'm a bad boy without a nut, too."

Ruti looks at me and says so.

""... because I won't leave you anymore ""

I gently fronted and swore to each other so.

I went up from the bath and when I went back to the room I noticed that there was a note on the table.

I think it was there before I left the room because the keys were closed.

Apparently, the note was left by Phil. It said that I carried the two of them, but I'm sorry I couldn't do it until I got them dressed, and that the shopkeeper had told Mr. Reasoner to take a break for a while.

"I've had a lot less work done because I haven't been doing well lately, but I can't believe you even put me on vacation... Phil will take care of you."

"I don't know what I said the next time I saw you, but when I got back today, should I go to my room to thank you? And tomorrow, before the store starts, to Chill and Mr. Reasoner."

"That would be better. What's with the bare hands, and I'll get you some sweets."

Say so quickly, or Ruti's figure scratches off. Teleport...... I wonder what.

When I got back, I decided to get ready for tea while I tried to ask around.

I just came back when I tried to steam the tea and pour it into the cup.

"Welcome back. That was fast."

"Because I flew to the front of the store. Look, I know Natsuki, too. Beautiful shop."

We talked about buying tea treats for tea time before, and you just came in because the store looks beautiful? Because it was delicious, I have been buying it since then.

"They're buying our share, too."

"That's great."

Enjoy tea and sweets while talking about what happened while we were away from each other.

"- I thought you found out when you approached the boulder."

"It's dangerous."

"By the way, earlier... even yesterday, you were using a teleport, right? When did you remember that?

"Oh, that's..."

Anything, he still couldn't help but miss me, but he didn't allow me to fly, and the captain told me that if I walked away, it would be different, and he told me because he thought that teleport would allow me to get to the city without time.

But you think the teleport can only go where it's been, and you couldn't get to the city after all?

"At first, I guess I should have noticed that when I heard how teleport works, but you missed me anyway and didn't notice at all.

So I remember, but I was in a bad mood, and then I realized I'd never been to the city, and I was shocked, so the captain distracted me and put the sorcerers off. "

Was there such a reason that the teleport could be used?

"I'm glad you told me, because it's a lot more convenient."

That's what I say and laugh as I show my tea treats.

It would have been a good time to talk about this. I guess it's time for Phil to come home.
