I thought I'd gone back from Wang Du to Horizon, and I had to leave the city again.

What a rush, though I took a break.

After getting ready, leave the city for the lost forest.

It's a troublesome place, but this is the entrance to and exit from the closest Spirit Clan, isn't it?

The entrance was installed and moved to the place where the tree was located.

"... stop"

My voice rang out of nowhere.

"Before this, inside the Spirit Clan... the unrelated... let alone letting man through. Turn back."

It's not Mr. Al's voice.

I felt pretty young and got the impression that I was as good as Sola and Luna.

Well, it's just my voice, so I can't say anything.

"Who is irrelevant"

"We're big allies!

The two manifested the feathers of light that they usually magically conceal.

I hear a surprising, breathtaking sound.

"Are those feathers... our kind? Or maybe that face..."

The space is distorted like a mirage...

From there one girl appeared.

Thin blue hair is like water and very pretty.

You feel older than Sola and Luna, but lower than me...?

Wearing the same clothes as the two of us...

On its back, I saw glowing feathers.

Definitely, a spiritual clan.

Probably replacing Sola and Luna as keepers at the entrance here.

"Yuki!"

"Oh, how have you been?

Sora and Luna smile.

Apparently, I know him.

"Long time no see, Sola, Luna. Al told me you're doing fine."

The three smile and hug each other.

Is he a friend?

The spiritual girl, called Yuki, says in a shattered tone, unlike just now.

"How did you get here? Oh, maybe you were going back inside or something?

"No, you don't"

We're here to stop our mothers.

"Oh, you know..."

Yuki looked badly discouraged.

Looks like you two are temporarily home and very depressed.

How can you be so depressed?

Do I miss you because I don't have any friends?

"What about those people over there?

"Guys, I'm one of Sola's guys. It's Canade the Cat Spirit Clan, Tania the Dragon Clan, Nina the Divine Clan, Tina the Ghost."

"And this is our husband, Rayne!

"Your husband...? Huh? What do you mean..."

"Rayne was a beast taster, and me and Sola made a deal with Rayne."

"Become!? Let the Spirit clan make a covenant with man..."

For a moment, Yuki stunned me with tremendous momentum.

But that's really for a moment...

Yuki coughs right up and makes me laugh.

"Excuse me. I was surprised I hadn't even predicted, and I shouted out loud about it"

"Oh, no... never mind"

"I'm Yuki. If you are the Lord of Sola and Luna, then you deserve it for me too. Please, thank you."

"Nice to meet you. And I don't mind the tone."

"Are you sure?

"Fine. I'm not that great, and I'm glad we got along better with the usual tone."

"... Shit"

Is that a tongue punch?

"Well, I'll let you do that."

Yuki returns to smile.

Was it your fault...?

"Anyway, if Yuki is the gatekeeper, the story is simple. Will you take Sola and the others inside?

"I don't want to."

"Huh?"

He didn't think he'd say no, and Sora gets it right.

On behalf of Sola like that, Luna asks.

"Why is that? I can't think of any reason why our return is unacceptable. I did abandon the gatekeeper... but no one complained when I went home before."

"It's not like we have a problem with Sola and Luna. The problem is... it's the people there!

Yuki had a tough face, pointing at me bissily.

"You can't put a human being in a sacred spiritual clan!

The more I do, the more I get hit with hostility.

Did I do something that bothered you...?

"Nah, but that's weird, isn't it?

"Rayne would have been in the Spirit Clan before this."

"Especially... they didn't complain, did they?

"The chief didn't even approve."

"Ugh."

Yuki is stuck in everyone's backup fire.

Could it be Yuki's arbitrariness, not the will of the spiritual clan...?

"Uh... why shouldn't I be in the Spirit Clan? You're human, so you're saying the reason is a little thin... can you tell me a little more about it?

"Muggle... this human being is more sober than I thought. I thought if I behaved like that, I'd soon be angry and reveal my true nature."

"Uh... what's that?

"... Fine"

"Huh?"

"This time specially, I'll admit that you're going into the Spirit Clan. But if you do something weird... you know what I mean?

He gave me an awesome look and Yuki has stabbed me in the nail.

Even if they say it's weird, I don't know what you're referring to...

Let's be careful.

Yuki is a little scared right now.

――――――――――

"Oh, long time no see air"

I stepped inside the Spirit Clan again.

A city covered in clear air and fresh green leaves.

Clearly, there's beautiful water running through it, and it seems my heart is healed just by watching it.

It may be an exaggeration, but the expression paradise is appropriate.

That's about as good a place as that.

"It's still a beautiful place, isn't it? It's very different from ours"

"Yeah? What is Tania's place?

"Hmm... smells like sweat?

"Uh... whatever, I can somehow imagine with that one word. Wow. Sorry about Tania, but I don't want to go inside the Dragon Clan."

"So you're right. Specializing in fighting, it's a battle maniac race with no other eyes. Well, what do I say?"

Talk to Yuki and head to the chief's house.

……

Meanwhile, Yuki was staring at me.

Hostile.

Pretty eye-catching.

Really, why...?

I don't remember being rude...

I'm still a spiritual clan, so don't you like human beings?

I'm friends with Sola and Luna, so I'd like to get along if I can...

"Yes, I got it."

Unable to think of a way to open it, I arrive at the chief's house.

I have no choice.

We'll figure out a way to crack it down with Yuki later.

Now we have to do something about Mr. Al and the others.

We have to convince him somehow.

"Excuse me..."

"We should burn it down thoroughly Yikes!!!

At the same time as I entered the chief's house, I suddenly heard a noisy line.

I saw a round table surrounded by four people.

Mr. Tin, Mr. Al, Mr. Mirua.

And the head in the Spirit Clan.

Someone from the spiritual tribe who looks like a caretaker in the back refrains, but even looks awkward.

Don! And, Mr. Mirja pounds the table with momentum.

He seems so angry.

I swell my cheeks like a child, blush my face, and say it out loud.

"To my Tanya... to my cute Tanya... to my cute cute little Tanya... I can't believe you're kidding me. Why, yeah... I can't forgive you for wanting to! Such a country, you should burn it down right now, instantly, instantly!!!

... Convince me, it seemed so hard.
