Gaius, Gaius, where.

Where have you been?

Where? Gaius. Gaius......

Using the magic of physical strengthening, I run to heart. Where are you? Where?

Mr. Athos is gone, and so are the others. So far to Gaius. Gaius, Gaius---so I kept thinking about Gaius.

Gaius cannot use the magic of physical strengthening. So even I should be able to catch up! But Gaius is anxious to catch up because he's physically capable. But I have to chase him down. I have a bad feeling.

Run. Just run. I don't even know where he is. I don't like to speak out though.

"Guy, Ass!!

Raise your voice. I'll put it up hard. But I'm not getting a response.

Gaius, Gaius, Gaius, where? Where are you? Run for it, but I can't find it.

I kicked a lot of things along the way. But I couldn't care less about that. Gaius, where are you and where are you? I don't even know how I got here.

Gaius, where are you?

Where are you?

That's all I've been thinking about.

My legs are hurting. I'm also running out of breath. Makes me want to stop. But no. I have to find Gaius. We need to find Gaius.

In that, I heard a small voice.

Gaius's voice? Gaius? Maybe not, but I felt Gaius. Gaius, Gaius!!

"Gaius!!!!

I've never raised my voice so much. We have to find Gaius. Gaius is desperate. So when I realized it, I was raising my voice.

I strengthened my body and Gaius was there before I ran. But it wasn't just Gaius. There were adults trying to hunt down Gaius. It doesn't have ears and tails. A human. A human adult. What are you doing to Gaius? What are you trying to do?

"Lernda! Kicha, no!

Gaius, sweet. Gaius, you're in trouble, but you can't come to me. But I can't. You can't even listen to Gaius here.

Human adults look amazed. Why are you surprised? Why, Gaius, are you being hunted down? I was jumping out when I realized I was ahead of Gaius and the grownups. And I was spreading my hands.

"To Gaius... what are you doing!!

I can't talk like that. What are you gonna do if you don't speak up here? Don't let me out, don't protect my favorite Gaius, what are you going to do? I don't care if I may be a godson or not a godson. I don't like it when Gaius meets the hard eye. So I'll protect Gaius. Because if I can't protect you here ----I 'm sure Gaius will be gone.

"Human...... child!?

"Why, you filthy beast?"

Look at me, the same person, the adults in front of me are confused. Why. Gaius the Beast Man, even though he's the same person as me. I'm fine with going after it. Why, you can try to make it awful, Gaius. Dirty, how can you say such a terrible thing?

"... young lady, get out of my way because I'm not saying anything wrong. Because if you turn that beast over, you won't do anything terrible to your daughter."

"Keep it up and it'll hurt until you do, won't it?

They say it like it makes a threat. These people probably don't want to hurt me. That's because I'm human...... But I don't give a shit about Gaius or hurting him. Why? I'm trying to do something terrible to Gaius. No, absolutely not. No, because I don't like it.

"- To Gaius, terrible things... no!!

I'm not going anywhere. Never go away. I can't leave Gaius. You know Gaius meets dangerous eyes, and you can't leave him.

"Lernda, about me, okay ---"

"Often, not!! Never, because I'm not going anywhere!!

That's fine with me, Gaius, worrying about me and saying that, but absolutely not. Never go away. Gaius, scowl, sit down, I can't seem to move. I'm not leaving Gaius like that. I can't. I'll never, ever regret leaving Gaius.

Stinging, the grown-ups approach. What am I supposed to do? How can I protect Gaius? I don't have that power. What can I do before so many adults? How can I protect Gaius?

When I thought about it, I was hugging Gaius' body as much as I wanted with my body. To wrap it up.

Because ——— about me, maybe, I can't hurt you (...). It has always been so. Even as your fathers tried to raise their hand, it didn't reach me. I'll protect you. I won't let you hurt Gaius. Until now, that's what people in the villages where they were born and raised have been told that it's creepy. But I want to protect Gaius, because.

The adults, sighing, approaching us. Reach out to us, but it didn't reach.

"Huh."

"What is this..."

"Huh!?

I guess it's because I'm too out of reach. Grown-ups used magic like frustration. Is it the magic of the wind, like a tornado, coming towards me? The wind is blowing over here. Strong and magical, felt.

If this were a direct hit, I and Gaius would be dead for sure. Magic so scary that it seems so. Hence, hold Gaius's body harder.

Meditate your eyes.

Scary.

But I have to protect you. Gaius, you're gone, I don't like it.

- With the girl, go three.

(Maybe a divine girl cuddles like a beastman boy's body)
