"Mm-hmm... ahhh... you're sleepy"

"Argent, you didn't sleep until just now?

"I don't have enough sleep in twelve hours. At least I need to sleep twice that."

For some reason, for a moment, Neguseau's movements stopped.

Bhuhuhu, blows his nose, and then he walks out again. Did I say something weird?

My journey was smooth even as I slept with my legs in my hand. It's too ideal to be moving when you wake up.

The breeze blowing in the meadows is pleasant and the perfect day to take a nap. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Get some sleep.

"Hmm, fu fu..."

"Are you going to sleep again?

"If you need anything... um, wake me up..."

"Wait, Argent"

"... what is it...?

I was called out, so I raised the consciousness I was about to sink.

I get a little sleepy listening to Neguseau's low, calm voice, but if he tells me to wait, I'll have a conversation.

We're traveling together, and we should communicate. A horse, but thanks to his translation skills, we can have a conversation.

"Will you give me a blood contract, too?"

"Hmm... I don't mind. Wait a minute."

Though I don't know what Neguseau intended, I took it lightly because it's not about having disadvantages.

The ability will improve, so there will be more advantages to Ning Ro.

Especially if my health improves, the distance I can go while I sleep will increase greatly. If it gets any better than it is now, I'd rather be happy.

He bit gently on his finger and scratched it, draining blood on Neguseau's back. All you have to do is spin the word after that.

"Blood Contract"

Just like when Oswald made you, we feel connected to each other.

Unlike what we made the Pisces, when we use blood covenants on creatures, we become strongly aware of each other's existence.

It feels a little strange. Somehow, we know if we're in each other's physical condition or mood.

By the way, Oswald is feeling a little tired right now, but he seems to be feeling full, so I guess he's also working out. I wish I could overcome the speed that is a challenge, but it would depend on me there.

"Hmm."

Neguseau did not react as badly as Oswald did.

Just step on the ground sequentially with four legs to make sure you're feeling well, let go of a word, and that's it.

It was a cool way to take it like him.

"Are you satisfied?

"Woohoo. Thank you, Argent. Now I can run faster."

Oh, is that why, after all?

I felt bad about not doing anything with you, so it would be nice if you were satisfied.

It hurts all the time. It hurts. It blocks the finger wound and then closes the eyes. Ha, now I'm finally...

"-Argent."

"Yeah, I know."

The smell of burning. It also smells like meat burning.

Horses have a far stronger sense of smell than people. And the smell of vampires. It was because we felt the smell of burning each other that the story quickly passed on.

"What do we do?

"You care"

Some people want to ignore it, but if it's a fire or something, it's more annoying that way. I guess I'll check it out.

I look around and I don't see any flames or smoke. However, there was a black view in a far away direction. What's around is the tall grass, so that means it burned over there.

"From what I've seen, you seem to be burned out"

"Woohoo. Looks like you're gonna be okay leaving me alone"

"It's dangerous if you smoke (dull), so let's just see if it's gone properly?

"I'm the one who's going...?

"Please, Neguseau?

"... I understand"

I'd probably be a pain in the ass and leave it alone if I were to go myself, but now that I have legs to walk on, stopping by isn't bitter.

With a louder snort like a human sigh, Neguseau walked me out towards you.

If you don't like it, you can just hate it and say it. Flushing people, no horses.

Now if I were human, I'd be flushed by cheats and my favors and eventually feed them. Too bad it's not human.

"Argent, aren't you thinking weird?

"I just thought Mr. Neguseau was a good horse."

"Huh, right"

Yeah, it's pretty tiny.

I arrive at the scene shaken for a while by Neguseau's back, which only speeds up my legs.

The first thing I thought to myself was, "You're beautiful."

A trace of burning had disappeared in a certain position in a region where grasshoppers I didn't even know were burned. Instead of the grass edge, the unburnt grasshoppers don't have the impression that they are thirsty with heat.

By analogy, it feels like I only burned it with a lid on that part. A state where only a certain range is on fire and later is safe.

"... strange way to burn, huh?

"It must be due to some kind of magic."

"Do you know that?

"You're blunt."

"Sure, I'm blunt enough to be synonymous with laziness."

"I didn't say that much!?

Get off Neguseau and try to step into the burning point.

If I concentrated my consciousness, my skin felt tingling. Similar to a healing sunburn, it feels restless.

... remnants of magic?

Is this what Neguseau feels like?

I thought I'd ask, but Neguseau was eating grass that wasn't burning. It's bad to interrupt a meal, so let it go.

... Is this what caused the smell like the meat burned?

In the burn, there were several shapes of charcoal that resembled people. Probably what was originally a creature.

Although it is about to collapse, I can discern that it has hands and feet. Face bones are close to dogs. A werewolf, should I say?

It's similar to the cobolt I saw in the woods, but the cobolt was about my back length. The wreckage in front of you is bigger. A little smaller than an adult male, I guess.

Something resembling a person was completely burned leaving only the shape of a rough skeleton. From the wreckage that collapses every time it is blown by the wind, it can be seen that it was burned with considerable firepower.

"Mmm..."

In the smell of burning, I feel the smell of a beast. It's not from the charcoal in front of me. It's fresher or clearer.

If you concentrate a little more on your sense of smell, you might know something.

"- Nha?

The moment I felt the smell of burning strongly, the flames hit me directly.
