Skeleton Knight, in Another World

Outside "The Trial of Ponta"

Dragon Crown Tree (Road Crown) with a huge trunk that can reach the summit.

Its oversized trees form a giant crown with branches stretched out onto one side of the surrounding sky, softening the strong sun during the day that descends to the summit of the mountain and dropping the soft leaking sun at its feet.

If the wind blowing in the sky swayed the branch leaves of the dragon crown tree (Road Crown), the leaking day of the tree falling zero on the ground also swayed like a sparkling light wave together, and I was watching it narrowing my eyes unexpectedly.

The lively hustle and bustle of people and the sound of doing the work get to your ears from a short distance away on a ride like that.

Many artisans of the Yamano people are now working on the ruins of the company that once used to be based at the summit of the Blade Heart (Jinsin) clan, and a lively voice can be heard at the summit, which has been unpopular for a long time.

Unlike the walls built by stone, the wooden roofs exposed to years of wind and rain had rotted and disappeared, and now the roofs were about to be resurrected by the hands of the craftsmen of the mountain people.

If the company's ruins are roofed, there will be a lot of maintenance going on here as a full-scale hub.

Return the gaze you were looking up to below as you put your thoughts into that still unseen future appearance.

It spreads in front of the company's ruins. There, the all-you-can-stretch sesame grass was beautifully mowed and the wide open meadow was spread, and just the sight of the lawn ground came into view.

I can see a tiny, grassy little kobu-shaped outpouring in the middle of such a meadow, but if you look at it moving from time to time, you can see that it's not just a chunk of grass.

"Ponter, I found some delicious nuts."

When the voice Arian used to hearing there sounds, his ears in the shape of a triangle crept up from what had previously appeared to be a chunk of grass, and then his fox-faced head peeps from beneath it.

The Ponta of the Spirit Beast, also known as the Cottonwool Fox.

"Cum."

React to Arian's words, or Ponta, who raised her face from the grass, walks out to the Lord of her voice in a slow motion with Totetote, but the motion is very slow.

The appearance of walking with a big blurry white tail swinging from left to right is really soothing - but things seemed a little different this time around.

I was always with Ponta, and I probably didn't realize it because I watched it every day.

In a nutshell, the overall form is rounded.

It also looks as if the twin hairballs are slowly jumping through the grass.

It wasn't a cottonwool fox, it looked close to complete cottonwool.

I overtook Ponta, who had evolved into such a round form, and walked under Ariane to speak up so that I could get ahead.

"Lord Arian, its nuts, but could you wait a moment?

When I cut myself out to her so, I offer my hand and demand that I give her the nuts she holds in the dark.

But Arian has turned a surprise glance at him by switching to the rear to protect the nuts from such silent demands on the other side, trying to guard them with his own body.

"Hey, what's up, Ark? I'll take this up to Ponta, so I won't give it to you."

Understood that the intent was to take Ponta's snack, and she said so to show her firm rejection, but demanded that she produce the nuts in her hand.

With such interaction, Ponta, who has come to her feet, looks up with a strange face.

"Uhm, then Lord Arian. If you're going to do that nut to Ponta, would you mind not crouching and having it done at that height?

When she says so and changes her request, she leans her neck without grasping the intent of her request.

From the look of it, Ariane seemed to overlook the change in Ponta.

But she relieves herself that she doesn't have to give her nuts, or roll the nuts she had in her hand while tilting her neck to make them look like the ponta at her feet.

"Ponta, that looks delicious nut, huh?

Fished by the smell of red ripe nuts, or as Ponta moved his nose tip hiccups, he looked up at the nuts rolling over Arian's palm and rang.

"Ki-yun!

So it was Ponta, who had been urrowing at Arian's feet for a while, but when he looked up again wondering how he could not get nuts, he finally used his own spiritual magic, as usual, and tried to fly up on that wind.

However, although spiritual magic produces winds like rising airflow, Ponta's rounded body does not rise as far as the position of the nuts at the flat height of Arian's hand, to the extent that it flutters through the low sky.

Arian, who was watching such a thing, finally noticed the change in ponta and opened his big golden eyes and turned a surprise glance at this way, so he nodded back at it.

"Every time Lord Arian did this food, Ponta was so fat that she had to fly by her own magic. We have to hit something as soon as possible."

I said that and gave it back to myself, and Arian jumped up a single eyebrow in response to this one's words.

"Hey! Arc was the one who bought beans for a snack for Ponta the other day when we went to Landbart!? I won't tell you I forgot!?

I look up into the sky out of sight at her sword screen like that.

"Ha? I've forgotten so much lately that I don't really remember..."

Saying so and showing her in love, she was not only helmed by her hand, but the helmet she was wearing on the spot circled and returned to her original position. It's a relentless scratch.

Where we interacted like that, now a chiyome appeared in ninja outfits.

"Ponta, you were here. What's the matter, both of you?

She says so and tilts her neck to be surprised at how this one looks face-to-face, but herself and Arian raised their voices by strikingly finding the red fruit held in her hand like that.

"Oh! Chiyome, I have that in my hand. That, what's wrong!?

Surprised by Arian's abrupt questioning, Chiyome answered with a slightly proud shake of her own tail, showing the red fruit she had in her hand, whilst puffing those pale eyes.

"I found him on his way here, and I brought him up to Ponta."

"Ki-yun! Kiyun!"

After hearing her say that, Ponta waves her tail happily at her feet.

Chiyome's eyes were slightly thinner than Ponta's.

Apparently this is a more serious problem than I thought.

Until now, I guess everyone has done the food they brought to Ponta separately.

And there is the current state of Ponta, where the result can no longer fly now.

There is a good chance that even floating like this will become unbearable.

Then there is one thing to do.

"I'm sorry, Lord Chiyome. Let Ponta forbid you to give food on your own for a while. If Ponta gained any more weight, she would be unable to fly or float. Then it's no good for Ponta. You have to ghost your heart out here."

"Kiyun!?

When she said that and asked Chiyome to understand, she looked stiff and once again peered seriously into Ponta's face, looked serious and nodded back.

"It could indeed be...... What I did was inadvertently feed too much food."

"It's not just Chiyome's fault..."

Ariane shrugs her shoulders at the chiyome, which drips her tail and drips down her cat's ears.

Ponta at your feet looks anxiously up at this vibe and moves your gaze.

Standing forward to block such a ponta's gaze, he hugs a slightly heavier ponta's body.

"Well, starting today, Ponta will have to exercise to lose weight."

"Kiyun!?

When he says so and laughs at Ponta, Ponta turns her gaze around to Ariane and Chiyome, who freak her out and ask for help.

But the wish was crushed.

"Rest assured, I will improve my training methods to become a Ninja for Ponta and help restore the body of the original beautiful Spirit Beast."

"Kiyun!?

To Chiyome's offer of such impetuous additional support, Ponta shakes her neck to the left and right to escape from this arm, but the body fat that covers her entire body is not easy to grab and escape.

Ponta, who realized that he could not escape even if he tried to resist frequently, drooped his neck and tail with a sad squeal.

"Kyuuuuuuuu......"

Well, you don't have to impose tough exercise like a human being or anything, as long as you spend an exact meal restriction and run around the woods, your shape will return to itself, but Ponta, who jumps right at what's served, will also have one end of the responsibility, so let's keep it quiet now.
