"Hmm... Wow..."

Shaken by Neguseau's back, I unleashed one great elbow (yawn) towards the sky.

I feel a little cold when I take in fresh air instead of exhaled breath due to stretching (yawning).

"You want clothes"

I can't help it. I just want to procure it somewhere as much as possible... but I guess I can't until I cross the border. Do I have to put up with twisting around the blanket?

The mountains to cross to reach the Republic from the kingdom that Oswald showed us are approaching step by step.

In Neguseau's view, they will arrive as early as today. They say it would be quicker if they ran, but they stopped doing that because it would make them uncomfortable to sleep.

"Then I'll sleep a little more."

"Alger, didn't you just wake up?

"Right. What's wrong with that?

"... no, nothing"

Buffy, he exhales like tired, and Neguseau moves on.

I have no heart, but I feel like walking a little rampant.

... Did I say something strange?

Doubts come to mind, but if Neguseau doesn't say anything, he won't have to go in there. It's a hassle.

"Tell me if you're hungry, tired, or want water"

Give up the doubts in your heart and speak to Neguseau, then close your eyes to sleep.

As soon as I blocked the view, drowsiness came, so I just tried to block my consciousness as well, and I felt something.

"Neguseau, can you stop for a second? Because I think this smell is probably her."

"Oh, you seem to be approaching"

Mutual understanding came to an immediate end because of the smell we remember each other. Neguseau stops me on my feet.

Light beast odor and a sweet fragrance specific to the girl. It definitely belongs to Kuzha.

Thanks. The smell of the beast seems to be diminishing from yesterday. Maybe I even took a bath.

The stimulus to the sense of smell is getting stronger and stronger, so I'm obviously on my way here. Turning his gaze, the meadow had a fox colour floating.

"Algerian!

Calling out loud here, Kuzha accelerates even more.

She is no longer dressed in silly clothes. Japanese clothes were painted with red flowers, just as their mother wore them, something that she could tell was superior at a glance.

Has the number of tails increased from two to three, even at the level?

She came this way shaking her tail again, breathing gently.

She now carries a backpack as big as her body. If you walk all you can in such a state, you will also get tired.

"Mr. Alger!

"Ah, yes. What is it?

"How could you not wait for me!?

"... Huh?

I didn't understand the meaning of the words I was told, and I snapped my neck.

... Wait? What? What?

Kuzha seems completely angry at me. [M] He lowered the bag he was carrying to the ground and looked at me with a strong gaze.

"You know, Mr. Alger. I said I was coming, and I left my mother's body, didn't I?

"Yeah, that's right"

"Don't you think they usually come back then? I rushed after my mother's condolences!?

"No, I thought you were coming home, but my role is over. They returned my apologies for the assault's disrespect and I owed them my meal, so I was wondering if I could leave now."

"... you don't have any friends, do you?

Said it with great jito eyes.

When they did say that, I didn't have any friends. [M]

I've never wanted a friend.

Because I've just received what I can give, as I can.

"Right. Not a single one."

"Look, I knew...... no, I can't say much about people either. My mother taught me how to do it! Something called how to hang out with friends! It's all about preview!

... I mean, aren't you an air friend?

Though I thought about it, I didn't put it in my mouth. Kuzha is so good at it, it's hard to point to water... no, because I thought it was bad.

Kuzha stroked Neguseau's body as she rocked her big baggage and walked over here. And look up at me, make words.

"So, thank you very much for coming."

…… What do you mean?

"I, Mr Alger, will follow you. Nice to meet you."

"... why not? Kuzha, you don't even know where I'm going, do you?

I didn't know what that meant, or I didn't know what the intention was.

I don't understand that our relationship should have ended with that exchange, but still trying to connect.

Kuzha smiled pleasantly for some reason when she looked at me keeping the question mark afloat.

The face resembled her mother somewhere.

"It doesn't matter where you are. There's nowhere to go anyway. Besides, you're the one who told me you could live as you please, right? Then you're free to follow me, aren't you?

"... I told you you could live as you please"

If they say so, I can't say no.

I don't like hurting other people's freedom or my freedom.

I don't want to do much of that except when it's offensive or harmful to me or when I owe someone back.

Fortunately, there is room for food and water, and if that big package, even Kuzha will have it ready. It doesn't seem like a problem to take him.

"As a friend number one from now on, thank you, Mr. Alger!

"Oh, thank you"

I don't know, but they even certified me as a friend, and it's a troublesome refusal because it's going to follow me even if I tell you not to come.

I didn't try to. I had more people with me, but it doesn't change what I'm supposed to do.

Leave the kingdom and find someone to feed you. That's all.

"Shall we go then, Neguseau"

"I understand."

"Oh, wait! Before you do that, Mr. Alger's clothes!

"Clothes? Oh, did you possibly bring them to me?

"No, I'm going to measure and make it. So come down a little bit, come on!

Kuzha shines her eyes for some reason and invites her here.

... you can sew, right?

I can sew enough torn clothes too, but making clothes from scratch is amazing.

My nose looks rough for some reason, but I'd appreciate it if you could put some clothes on, so I honestly stepped out of Neguseau.

"... I'll be around. Call me when you're done again."

"Okay."

"I think it'll take about a day, are you okay?

"No problem. Bye, ladies."

He cared about this one, and Neguseau is leaving.

Nothing. I don't care where he sees me, but it would be bad for him to hold back if he seemed to care for himself. Let it go.

"So, uh, you're gonna measure, right?

"Yeah. I'll take it easy on you already. Ha... Mr. Alger, you have a white skin!

"Really? Well, he's a vampire."

"Speaking of which, is the sun okay? I used to ask my mother that vampires are flesh-received beings of the demonic power of the dark attribute, and when they hit the sun, which is the holy attribute, it causes considerable pain..."

"I'm fine because I have high sunlight tolerance and holy attribute tolerance. Uh, should I turn around?

"Oh, no! I don't mind if I stay put! Make sure you stay put!

"Really?"

I don't know why, but Kuzha would be in a good mood if she waved her ears and tail.

I wonder what it is. I wonder if it would be such a pleasure to be friends with me.

... Friends, huh?

Words I've never even thought about before. First conscious being.

I rolled those words in my head that I still had no sense of, and I took off my blanket.

The breeze that blows is a little cold for raw skin, but it's also comfortable.

The lid dropped and I was left behind. [M]

There are plenty of questions, but what you feel if you close your eyes is always the same.

Oh. Let's get this over with, and I want to take a nap.
