Gregor was captured and returned to the capital.
I was seriously injured, but I managed to take my life.
The wound was supposed to take months to heal completely, but the doctor was surprised that it healed completely within a few days.
After I was fully healed, the 5th Squad was given another medal by Sonia.
The monsters attacked the city with anxiety.
I thought we needed a symbol of reconstruction to wipe it out.
I didn't report to Sonia that Fum was an informant. We've decided to keep this secret just for the 5th Squad. They were all accomplices.
The night when I was so busy, I finally got back to my composure. When I was about to go to bed, my room door was knocked on.
Who is it?
"... it's me."
"Fumes. Come in."
The door was opened and Fumes appeared.
"Unusual. I didn't expect you to come normally." I usually break into a room without even noticing.
"I thought I'd come from the front."
When Fumu approached me, he said, "Next to me, okay?" When I nodded, she sat down on the edge of my sitting bed.
Today, I have something I want to give you.
What do you mean?
This is it.
Fumu offered it to me as a handkerchief.
"A handkerchief. A new one." Did you buy it? "
"... your hand was broken in the previous battle." That's why I want you to also apologize for this incident and send it to me. "
"There's no need to worry about that."
"... even if you're good, I'm not good." "This is my fault," Pham continued. "And..."
And what?
"You were once gifted to a fellow woman, weren't you?" Then I wanted to give you my hand, too. As a companion. "
said Pham.
"Because you called me a buddy."
"... I see."
It may be the greatest delay in becoming a family.
When I think about it, I feel smiling.
"I even carved my name."
Eh
"I chopped it with my knife." It's an autograph. "
I looked down at the hand I had received.
It was engraved with "Juku".
"Even if I lose this, I'll come back because I know who it belongs to."
"I didn't have to go that far..." I said. I didn't expect you to do the same thing as Haruna.
"When you fight, you will always fight with the cage with my traces on it." I'm going to be one with you while I'm away. "
It's heavy.
When I say that,
But let me use it with difficulty.
My hand was broken in the battle with Gregor.
That's why it was just right.
"... fuah," Pham yawned.
You look sleepy.
It's already nine o'clock.
Fumes are going to sleep at this hour.
"... can I sleep in this room?"
"You've been doing that for a long time."
"... yes. That's right."
When Fumu loosened his cheeks, instead of diving under the bed as usual, he fell asleep on the sheets.
"I thought you were under the bed today."
“I thought I'd try to be open once in a while,” Pham said. And when you're in a narrow place, you can't grow taller.
Pham used to say that.
When I sleep in an open space, I can't sleep without worrying that there will be an enemy attack.
There may have been a change in her.
"... hey, Zeke."
Hmm?
"... thank you for accepting me." Thank you for calling me a buddy. He carried them all together. "
"Oh," I said. "Sleep slowly."
Pham nodded and closed his eyes quietly.
Soon, you'll hear me sleeping.
- You're relieved.
As a mixed human and demonic child, Fumu has been living a restless and unforgivable life all this time.
I was betrayed a lot, betrayed, and had no time for peace of mind.
I'll protect her so that Fum can have a happy dream.
I stroked her peacefully sleeping hair slowly and lovingly with my hand wearing the basket I had been presented to her.
