It was many beasts who welcomed us. Except this village only has wolf beasts, all like wolf ears and tails.

The Beasts are paying attention to me. Seeing it that way, I'm a little scared. I honestly can't get used to being noticed because it wasn't in my life.

"... what shall we do"

Is it right to come down and say hello, how should I act before the beasts? I honestly didn't get that. I was in trouble over Seafo.

If I had, I would have lowered the cage where the Raimers were carrying Mr. Athos. It sounded pretty loud when I lowered it because they were up one at a time.

"Guru. Guru."

"Guru. Guru."

After Lilha and the Kamiha couple lowered their cages, they approached me as they rang like that. Even adult griffons have these cute things to do with this turn.

"Yes, but thanks."

Say thank you and play Lilha and Kamiha's head several times while riding on top of Seafo. The two rang in a pleasant way.

I, too, thanked everyone and got off the seafo.

The gathered beasts look at me with some surprise on their faces.

I turn to the beasts,

"Me, Lernda"

First, introduce yourself.

I spoke because I thought I should say hello out of my own mouth, although Mr. Athos and the others might be communicating my name.

"Nice to meet you"

That's how I keep my head down. The Griffons and Seafo also imitated me and bowed their heads.

Besides, the beasts began to panic.

"I can't believe you let Master Griffon keep your head down."

"Oh no, you don't have to keep your head down!!

I heard such a voice and found myself in a panic that the Griffons lowered their heads.

Mr. Athos, who came down from the cage, put the spot away for me. Mr. Athos is the head of this village. I was a little surprised because I didn't know.

Then Mr. Athos and Gaius led us through the village.

The village was said to have been made by cutting through the woods. There is also a vast forest that spreads once you step outside the village. Sometimes demons pop out of the woods, so it's tough.

With those words,

"I wonder if the Griffons could do something about those demons."

And that's how they said it.

That was all right. Instead, I thought I should go ahead and do that because I'm going to take care of you.

"Some have complicated feelings about Lernda and Master Griffon and" Skyhorse "coming here. To contain that kind of thing, please."

"... I'll take care of you, because, I will"

Then Mr. Athos looked relieved.

I realize for the first time that I may have put a hard time on Mr. Athos because I said I wanted to come here. I had spoken without thinking about it.

"... I can't, I'm sorry"

"You mean you wanted to come here? Sure, it was a little hard to persuade, but you don't have to worry so much about being able to interact with people who are so fond of Griffon and Skyhorse because it's profitable even here."

That's how they said it when I apologized.

I said I just wanted to go because I wanted to go to the village.

But after all the thought, Mr. Athos seems to have accepted my offer.

Adults seem to think a lot of difficult things.

"I just don't make it bad for Lernda. We don't want to turn Griffon or Skyhose on our enemies. And Gaius likes you---"

"Dad, what are you talking about!

"Oh, my God, we've been talking about Lernda ever since"

"... that's because this guy, he's not there..."

They're all here, so I'm not going to be bad. It's good to meet everyone in the order of meeting the beasts. I honestly can't imagine what would have happened if it had been the other way around, but it could have been harder than it is now.

I may not have been as calm as I am now, though I wouldn't have died because of that if someone was about to wield violence it would have stopped me or the food would have been found outside.

"Mine, talk...... glad"

Listening to Mr. Athos and Gaius, I was kind of glad to think Gaius was telling me my story.

"Me and Gaius, friends, can we be?

I don't have a friend. I know what that word means, and there were a lot of mountain people around my sister. The relationship between my sister and the kid in the village seemed different than the relationship with the friend I was hearing about, but I think the kids around my sister were in a relationship with each other called friends.

I asked unexpectedly because I thought you might get your first friend.

"... aren't you friends anymore?

"Really?

"At least, I thought you could call me a friend."

"... it is. Glad."

"What?

"Friends, first time"

Yes, it is. Gaius already thinks of me as a friend. I was kind of glad to think so.

First time, friend.

I get the feeling that I'm happy.

Mr. Athos and Gaius looked surprised at my words. How can you be surprised?

"... Lernda also said she was dumped when it came to that"

"Mm-hmm."

"My friends weren't there either?

"Mmm."

I was like my sister Omake. Seems like my sister only thought of me as a servant or something. I haven't even had much conversation with my sister, so I don't know what my sister thought of me.

Mother and father were ancestral, adoring and consecrated sisters who looked just like the records of their ancestors barely at home. He also hated getting closer than I needed to. The villagers also thought of my sister special, and the parents who gave birth to such a sister hated me for it.

Again, when I was in the village, I was almost alone.

Except for my grandfather, who taught me all sorts of things when I was just alive. He used to talk to me when my grandfather was around.

"Lernda, then make a lot of friends here."

"... will you?

"I'll help, too."

I was anxious that Gaius would make friends here. Then Gaius laughed at me. He said he would help me. Glad.

Mr. Athos also stroked my head something.

I've never been headless before.

"My head, I can be stroked by people, for the first time"

So crush it, I look up to Mr. Athos

"More, stroke, want"

I felt good about being stroked, and when I said that to Mr. Athos with a surprised face, Gaius stroked me with him.

Then I was led to a simple house ready so that me and everyone could live for a while.

(Maybe the divine girl arrives in the village of the beast man, making friends or being stroked in the head for the first time)
