"Why are you living outside the city? Isn't the city more convenient for humans?"
On the way out of the royal city to a house in the woods, Rona asked casually.
"I used to live in the city before, but I have a problem. Now I'm building a house in the forest and living there."
"Maybe you are being chased here?"
"No, not at all-but supposed to ... at least there are children in the house that I don't want to see. So I avoid the city."
Aldis argued that it wasn't the case, and replied somewhat unconfidently.
"Hmm. Then, are you following from behind, should you get rid of it?"
As usual, the return from the royal capital is followed by Aldis. Rona, who was aware of this, put on her entire body a sign that was about to reverse.
"Take it away. It's not as good as you can get in the forest anyway."
"That's fine, though."
Rona seemed convinced that she had lost interest. Put your mouth in the bag lowered from your neck and start chewing the cakes and fruits you just bought in the royal capital with Mossamossa.
"If you don't eat while you're walking ... hey, hey, Rona."
Aldis, who was looking at her with a silly face, suddenly calls on Rona.
"What?"
"Where did you get the leather bag with the reward?"
Aldis's question is right.
Except for the shopping bag dropped from the neck, nothing is worn by Rona today. They don't wear loose clothes like humans, nor do they carry bags. Aldis thinks for a moment if she is in a shopping bag, but even when that bag was bulging with food, Rona was pushing her with a leather bag.
"Hmm? It's here?"
What happened? Rona puts a leather bag on her mouth with the tone that she said.
"... where did you get it from now?"
After losing words for a moment, Aldis finally opens his mouth. In his eyes, it seemed as though a leather bag had suddenly appeared in Rona's mouth.
Muka: "Where is it from ... but why?"
"Over there?"
"Yes, the world beyond"
"Huh?"
An insidious voice came out of the boy's mouth.
"Cho, wait a minute. What is that? It's a hindrance if you add it, so you just put the leather bag on the other side?"
"Yup"
"Such a thing ..."
Can you do it? Aldis swallows it.
If you believe in Rona's story, the world where Aldis was originally and this world can go back and forth. Aldis, who can't do that, can't tell if Rona is true. But if that's the case, it's probably possible to move only objects, not just your body.
Fools Of course, Aldis did not doubt what Rona had to say and did not consider at all the possibility that Rona was lying to her. Rona doesn't mean to play Aldis.
"By the way, where do the things you send go?"
"It's my roost. You know Al too? A cave at the foot of the White Mountains"
"Oh, over there. I've been there once."
Then, once the words were cut off, Aldis asked after a long silence.
"......... Rona?"
"What?"
"Can only things be sent away? Can't send humans?"
If we can do that, Rona will allow Aldis to return to the world beyond. I can't do it right now. But, given the prospects of the twins, there is no reason to be in this world. The question of having the option to return will have a significant impact on future courses of action.
However, the answer from Rona's mouth was discouraging Aldis.
"Hmm ... I can only send or call in with my hands released, at most, like a human baby. I don't think anything larger is possible. I think it's too small for humans like Al. ''
"Really……"
Aldis's voice diminishes, as secretly expanding expectations swiftly wither.
"But I can do it, I'm sure Aldis can do it. I'll teach you how to do it. Let's work hard and practice!"
Rona offers to help Aldis cheer up.
"Even if I tell you how to do it, then ..."
Recalling the description of "How to return home" heard on the night of his reunion, Aldis clouded his face.
Entering the forest, Aldis guides Rona to her house, feeling the trailer away. He greeted her usual companion, Nere, who had no companion to her companion, and her twin sisters, in contrast, who were frightened by the size of Rona.
However, the twins may have reassured Aldis that he was forgiving. When she thought she had lost her vigilance, she turned it into curiosity and showed her interest in Rona's body.
"Awesome! Fluffy!"
"Mofumofuda!"
Filia and Riana begin to fill Rona's fluffy coat with her full body. It seems like he was just starting out, and now he's jumping into Rona's body with momentum.
"Oh, fox!"
"Wow!"
"Huh? ...... Is that a dog?"
Apparently, Rona seems to be acting as a very ordinary beast.
It's honest that with Aldis it's okay to know the truth, twins or Nere. But if Rona hasn't taken his guard, I won't say anything about it. Aldis, however, wondered how the dogs would sound after subtracting it.
The twins are all tied to Rona's coat, while the Nere is light. When Aldis introduced him as an "old buddy," it was just a reaction. Perhaps because Rona is just pretending to be a beast. Of course, its appearance was not so ordinary as to be abandoned with "just a beast".
"That twin was so cute!"
After adding Rona, who acts as a mere beast, and having dinner together with the four. The twins, who had been clinging to each other as if they were misunderstanding Rona as a playground equipment or something, had moved to their bedrooms much earlier than usual, as if they were tired of playing. Rona and Aldis exchange words because Nere has left her seat to put her twins to sleep.
"Rona. How long will you pretend to be a beast?"
"I'm just watching today. First of all, how much do you know about Al? I don't think I can talk on their own."
In response to an unexpected response, Aldis faces Lona again. After a few seconds of thought, he opened his mouth and answered Rona's questions.
"I'm not telling my twins anything, because I'm not telling Nere too.
"If I know I can talk, I guess I'll be asking about the old days. If Al is going to reveal everything, that's okay, but if I want to hide the other side, I'm convinced that I can't talk now. Isn't it better? "
Rona's story was reasonable.
Aldis barely told her about Nere. This was partly because Nere didn't listen, and partly because Aldis didn't have the confidence to explain it well.
Just as Aldis feels at Nere, there is probably something Nere thinks of Aldis. But now that he has started to put his trust in Nere, Aldis hasn't told his story.
Earlier, when providing hair to Marrieda in the city state, Leitin, there were times when the conditions for sharing the information they had learned were offered. Or I thought it might be the beginning of the story, but after all, Marrieda only heard about her special abilities and the sights she will visit in the future. In the end, this is all about the past.
Aldis's lack of a clear understanding of his circumstances was one of the factors that made him confused.
"I didn't think you thought that much."
"Well, it's troublesome socializing."
Don't worry about Aldis's feelings, Ronna reveals her heart.
"Hey kora. Is that true?"
"Wow!"
Rona replies with a delicate smile, using her poor facial muscles dexterously. Apparently she decided to pretend to be a dog when it became inconvenient.
"Hey, no ... it looks like you need to talk to yourself."
"Well, I'm already tired, so I want to sleep soon. I'll be grateful if I do it again. That girl will come back soon."
Lightly glared, Rona puts her assertion in words with a crisp expression. As if to support the claim, footsteps from the twin's bedroom were approaching Aldis and others.
"Today we both have a good night's sleep.
A servant with shortened Alice blue hair comes in talking to Aldis. Although he usually has a poor emotional face, today's Nere has a slightly different color of caution than usual.
Evening "What will the Lord do? If you want to enjoy it for a while now, do you have anything to pick up?"
"No, I was just thinking about going back to the room."
Sleeping bed "Okay ... sometimes my lord. What about him?"
Then, Nere nodded with a look-alike face and asked Aldis, looking at Rona.
"Rona? Well, I guess this would be anywhere if the rain breeze ...
When Nere hears Aldis's response and says, "I understand," she somehow begins to walk out of the house.
"I'll guide you. I'll follow you."
When he turned to Rona, he opened the door and went out without checking the reaction. The air covered in the whole body is like a swordsman fighting a game, even though he says with his mouth to guide him to the bed. Aldis had some idea what Nere was thinking.
"It's a surprisingly impatient person."
Rona whispers to Nere, who disappears beyond the door, and continues in a light tone toward Aldis.
"I'm gonna go a little bit."
"... Please take care of yourself?"
"I know. Play and play."
Rona replies with a screaming voice to Aldis, who couldn't help her, and Rona chased after Nere with a bouncing step.
