Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

"Isn't that it?

Hiding in the shade of a tree, Jerm points his finger.

"I'm pretty sure it matches the characteristics I've been hearing."

Cochia agrees and Terrier and Udriga snort as well.

At the end of the four gaze, there is something standing on the fountain. It looks like a glowing horse, sometimes breaking its shape.

Time is about 10 pm. It is dark in the woods away from the village and the glowing objects are very noticeable.

"I want to get rid of it quickly, but I don't have a lot of information and I don't see how it goes?

No objection to Jerm's words and the three snort.

The four break up second-hand, suppressing the signs, and carefully observe flying pebbles to see how they react.

That's how I decided to fight for just a little bit at the end.

Fighting for a few minutes with only a ranged attack, and it was time to cut it up, that's when the horse approached the gelm in an unprecedented agile move.

"Shit!?

Something like a tentacle stretches out of the horse's forehead with that momentary gap, taken in disquiet, and stabs him in the chest of the gelm.

Through the tentacles, Gelm found that something was sucked away.

"Jerm!?

Terrier voiced surprise and confusion at the changes that had taken place, during which time the horse left for the eastern sky. It's in the starry sky, and some people mistakenly see horses running through the sky as shooting stars.

All that remains are the three blinded terriers and the changed gems.

When Yusuke and I were thinking about going to bed, we could hear Yusuke calling from outside the house.

With Kokia's voice, Kosuke goes outside the house, thinking it's unusual to come at this hour. They usually come after breakfast and before dinner. This was the first time they had come during this time.

"What about the gelm?

Temporarily untie the junction and invite the four, asking the three weary expressions. There was no Gelm figure as Yusuke said, instead Terrier had a baby about two years old. The baby sleeps well in Terrier's arms. The season is winter, and the baby wears warm clothes to keep them from getting cold, and the cape is twisted further.

"When did you have a child? What about the father?"

"Did you forget the night you burned up so hard?

"Whoa, this is what I did."

Slap gently on the forehead and put on a terrier joke. Cokia is surprised to believe, and Udriga looks at the two in awe. But what surprises Cokia is that the baby didn't mean by two children, but that they had a relationship like a couple.

"What's the truth?

"Can I just go inside? It's cold because it impairs the baby's body."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"... Huh? Was that a joke?

In their conversation, they realize it's not the relationship they thought it was. They didn't get along so I believed them.

Besides, Kosuke and Terrier denied it with a laugh.

"We don't have the rest of the soup, so tea's fine, right?

I'm going to make tea as I ask, as my body will warm up. I'm here to see how things go. I'll also put Ellis and Weare's minutes in front of each of them.

Saw the terriers sip tea and take a breath, Yusuke asks again.

"So what happened to Jerm?

"This is Jerm."

Yusuke and his three gazes gather at the baby. Except the hair color is the same. Different age and physique.

"The usual joke?

"No, it's true this time."

Cokia and Udriga nod as they agree.

"A certain spirit turned me into something like this."

"What kind of spirits change creatures like that?

Ellis is twisting her neck if it doesn't sound familiar.

"Originally they called it Contrabarea"

Ellis sounded familiar to the Spirit Cokia said. But I know it's not a spirit who can do those things.

Contrabalea is a kind of spirit, an Akita dog-sized horse. There is no entity, and he has the appearance as a glowing horse. When an intelligent organism touches it, it has that power, depicting the most memorable footage of the organism in the air. It's a harmless spirit if you don't come near it in a harmful way. If he approaches with harm, erase the person's memory up to an hour in advance and flee.

"All in all, did it even show up as a mutant? Then I'm not convinced anything unusual happens."

"What do you think? Seems unusual indeed."

The contrabalea that the Cochias saw was glowing in a pearlescent color, and it didn't keep the horse shaped like a bump by the body.

The four of them met that contrabalea because they received a request. At the request that there was something like a spirit that rejuvenated those who went into the woods to their children and they were in trouble, the aim was to somehow undo the rejuvenated when they were exorcised.

"Probably possessed by distortion."

Wiale, who was staring at the baby, opens her mouth.

"I can feel a slight residue of distortion from the gem, so I'm pretty sure"

"Another distortion? Well, maybe I don't have a choice."

Wiale, the distortionist, says so, so it's highly credible.

Many distortions were created in the battle known as the demonic mayhem. Wiale consumed the distortion, but used the distortion of sleeping underground as a priority, so half of the distortion born on that battlefield was scattered throughout the continent as it were. Unprecedented cases of distortion have erupted as a result.

"Do you want me to do something about the distortion in the gem?

On Terrier's inquiry, Wiale shook her neck to the side. If it has changed due to direct distortion, I can do something about it, but indirectly, so I need to do something about Contrabarea.

"If you want to undo it, you have to bring the spirits in a seal."

"I was going to go get him from the beginning, just fine."

"I need a favor there, okay? Can you keep the gelm until we get Contrabarea? The journey with a baby is hard."

The journey with the baby gelm was ten days, but I was more tired of taking care of it than I would normally have traveled. If you travel ill, there is a possibility that you will not be able to protect the gem. Being an adventurer and not being able to manage your health is not a compliment.

"I'm fine, though."

Saying so, Kosuke sees Ellis and Wialley.

"I don't mind, either."

"Me too."

"Thank you"

Not only the terrier, but Cochia and Udriga also have a relieved look. It must have been a burden for both of us.

I have another wish to let me stay here, and it snorts, too.

Receive a gem from the three of you that you will sleep right away. It's Ellis I'm holding now.

"I'm not uncomfortable with the way you're holding me."

Kosuke was impressed by the familiarity.

"Because I raised Bordos."

Seeing Jerm's face asleep, Ellis remembers the time and smiles small.

"Has Weale ever looked after a baby?

"I do. It's infrequent, but there are still babies coming to the orphanage. I've never raised him, so he's worse than Mr. Ellis."

"Well, it's just me or not."

"I'll tell you."

"Be gentle."

Ellis seems to take him to his room as he is and leaves the living room holding him.

Yusuke and Wiale also decide to sleep and go back to their respective rooms. Ellis and Wiale fell asleep immediately, and Yusuke was ready with the tools to seal the distortion until 1: 00 a.m.

At night, Kosuke makes breakfast. It's two kinds: one for the Ellis and the other for myself and Udriga. Ellis' stuff is western, mainly bread, and their share is grilled fish in white rice and miso soup. Udriga likes Japanese food and in this case Kouma food, so when she arrives, she decides to eat it together.

I haven't gotten my hands on Ellis to make it since I asked her about Gelm's share. I thought it was probably breastfeeding, but I've never made it, so I stopped.

Breakfast will be served to those who are awake, and Ellis will make breastfeeding while Kosuke is eating.

"Then we go looking for Contrabarea. I know it's easy to find because it's a prominent spirit, but I still think it'll take at least a month, so thank you for the gelm."

Keep your head down in your hands with the glass balls for the seal you received.

"I have two people who have taken care of babies, and they're fine."

"If you can't find Contrabalea, it seems okay to adopt him as he is"

They say it with a look that tells me it's a joke.

"In that case, it would be hard to get it back to my parents, too, and hey. I don't know if you can believe I'm back with my baby."

"I'll try not to."

Udriga leaves the house, laughing too.

"I'll do my best, too"

Kokia also follows Udriga in a temper.

Terrier also thanked the three of them and touched Jerm's little hand before leaving the house.

"Well, when will you be back?"

"I wonder how long it's going to be, Jerm, and I want to get back to it soon, right?

Wiale laughed at the gem awake. Besides, Gelm moves his hand and reacts.

"It's going to take ten days as soon as possible. Until then, stay well, okay?

Yusuke approaches and Gelm begins to cry as he tries to touch his little hand.

"Oh, that? Do they hate you?

"What do you think? Uh, okay, okay, don't cry."

Ellis stays a little away from Kosuke and refreshes the gelm.

I started crying, it's not like Kosuke did anything. I was scared because I instinctively felt the height of Yusuke's power. When it comes to the height of power, Ellis and Wiale will be wary, but thanks to the remarkable presence of Kosuke, they were not wary.

Wiale comforts Kosuke, who sees him stop crying away and shows how depressed he is.

"I thought you liked me."

"Look, I don't think you remember when you were a grown-up, and maybe you just don't like grown-up guys like people do? Or yes, I'm sure."

"I hope so."

"I won't cry if I get used to it."

I'll probably add it in my mind.

Press Kosuke's back. Wiale and Ellis enter the house. That's how life centered around Gelm began.

Hopefully, time passed while I was getting used to it, and after ten days, the Terriers never returned, nor did Gelm get used to it. No, I'm not crying anymore just because I'm close, so maybe I'm just used to it.

In the last ten days, Jerm remembered to walk and was moving around in unreliable footsteps.

Still in the garden, playing after the ball that Weale rolls.

"You won't get used to me inside."

"Why not?

Ellis doesn't even know what's causing it, and she's twisting her neck.

I wondered if a man had trauma as a young man, but if so, Terrier should tell him. There's an adult man by my side named Cokia and Udriga, so I should have been showing those reactions. But I didn't say a word about those things, so I guess I didn't respond to those two.

"I miss you as much as I do. I want to hold her for once or so."

"I hope it's a trigger."

Ellis and Weale secretly wondered if they didn't have to get used to it. That was because one baby was smiling and amused at the way the dragon killer went right and left.

"I'm sure I'll get used to it sooner or later, but when will it be?"

I stroked Yusuke's head on the table to do the gem, saying it was refreshing.

The feel of its politely stroked hands makes Yusuke feel comfortable and often closes his eyes.

Time flies further and ten days pass. The Terriers are not back yet. Gelm is the same.

"Do you want me to hold you because you can cry about it? Maybe it's quicker to get used to it."

"I'd love to, but if they hate me even more, I'll stop. I'm fine with it as long as I touch it a little while I'm asleep, and if it takes me some time, I'll be fine."

Stop working hands and hold your fists for a long time and get in the mood.

"And there's pomposity?

"I don't know if it'll help."

I answered as I sharpened the tree with a knife. Now Kosuke was making toys for Gelm. When I was trying to figure out a way to catch my attention, I remembered what I was aiming for and started working in the evening.

What I'm building is a building block. I've already shredded the crude shape, and then I'm done taking the corners, yasling them, painting them.

Wiale sat next to him and watched. I have a plate with cookies on my hand. It's a cookie with tea leaves.

Stop trying to take the cookies in your hand to your mouth.

"Want a cookie?

"Mm, come on."

"Yes."

Wiale took the cookies to Yusuke's mouth, and Yusuke included them in his mouth without hesitation. We don't make each other feel embarrassed or anything at all, and we know it's an operation that we did naturally.

"Should I also make a stuffed animal?

"Maybe."

When Yusuke was wondering whether to turn it into a dog or a rabbit, he heard a voice calling Wiale from the bathroom. Ellis was in there with Jerm.

In response to his voice, Wiale headed to the bathroom.

While hearing voices heard from the bathroom, Kosuke collects shredded wood chips, thinking cats and dolphins are good too.

By the way, I was happy with the toy itself, but I still cry when Kosuke tries to hold it, so I start to look a little further away at how I'm playing.

Time flies again, and a month passes by to keep the gems.

That was a delightful day to enter TOP 10 in the life of Kosuke. Finally, Gelm didn't cry.

There wasn't a dramatic trigger. Maybe I can say it's Gelm's whim. Even on a whim, it was finally a pleasant day to visit for Kosuke.

"Mr. Ellis! Mr. Ellis!"

"What's the matter, noise?"

Kosuke came to Ellis thinking about magic equipment in the work room without hiding his excitement.

"Oh, you held him"

"Yes! That's right! As I folded my laundry, he approached me away from Weale, and what a grip on my clothes sleeve and a laugh! I thought I'd hold this. I slowly put my hand on both sides of the gelm and held it up. I won't cry, Jerm! And I'm happy and laughing!

At last, Kosuke explains the situation at that time. In my arms Jerm is laughing at what's fun.

"I know you're happy, so calm down"

Ellis is frightened that it would be too much. But you also think you're smiling, smiling as you shudder.

"No, no, I didn't think you'd be happy with this and what!

"I'm going to be a fool when I have kids in the future."

"Kids............... well, I guess I'll know when it's time"

Ellis didn't know what I thought while I was silent.

I don't know what you were thinking, it's that you give children away from people. Focus on the warmth of the gem by calming your minds with a small sigh mixed with questions, expectations and confusion.

"Well, you have to find someone first."

"Right."

"Let me count on Mr. Ellis and Weale"

"If you're serious, me and Weale are willing to respond, but you're not serious about what you're saying right now, are you?

"Hmm... are you serious for a little while?

Sooner or later, Ellis laughed and waited for Yusuke, who jokingly laughed when she asked him to propose.

We streamed our current conversations with each other and went back to our respective tasks.

Time flies again, and when it was time for two months, the Terriers finally return.

I finally sealed it.

While she says she's tired, Cokia puts the glass balls she used to seal on the table. It was transparent when I gave it to him, but now there is a pearlescent mist inside.

Looks like the gem being held by Wiale caught my attention and I reach for the glass balls.

"Mom, Mom"

But I couldn't reach it, and I asked Wiale to take it.

Hearing how they call it, the three Terriers dye their expressions with surprise. Terrier opens her mouth with that look.

"Called me Mom?

"Yeah, it's been natural for about ten days. Same goes for Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Korske's called Daddy."

"You nostalgic. Two months, naturally."

"Mr. Koske was struggling, though. At first, they were crying just to get close."

"Really? It may be a shame, but it's time to put the gems back together."

Nod and hold the glass balls in one hand when you understand. Gelm is reaching out to touch it.

Smiling at Gelm, Wiale concentrates her consciousness on a glass ball.

"Oh, wait a minute"

"Is there a problem?

Yusuke stops Wiale.

"If you put it back on, you'll break the clothes you're wearing and get naked, won't you?

"No, you're right. When I was a baby, I didn't even change my clothes. Koske's right, I think I can break what I'm wearing right now."

"Men should go to another room."

"The clothes... remain in the luggage compartment. Excuse me, can I borrow one of your clothes?

"Let's get my clothes"

Ellis returns to her room, and the men leave the room.

About enough, I heard Jerm screaming from the room where the women were. I'm suddenly naked when I realize it, and I'm surprised.

Wearing clothes, another five minutes or so after being briefed, the men were called.

"I'm sorry I seem to have bothered everyone. And thank you."

Keeping his face red, Jerm bowed his head.

I can't see Kosuke, but that's because I heard he took a bath with him when he was in a baby state. It was a tremendous embarrassment to be seen naked even without remembering.

"I enjoyed living with you."

"You remembered when Bordos was little."

"I had fun, too. Somehow the achievement was amazing."

"I'm sure Mr. Koske is."

Return to the shy gelm, in each word.

Using glass balls, the Terriers soon leave when they hear how to undo the changed.

Was it the sequelae of the infant condition that Germ was about to regret his breakup? And this influence will continue until later.
