"Well, it's a promise, Meg!
"Yeah! I'll write to you as soon as I get home!
Having thus finished our lunch, we went out of Annulus to leave. Rune and Goot, and Mr. Diega, also came to drop me off at the entrance, so Rune and I are just shaking hands disappointingly to say goodbye.
"Goot too. Can I send you a letter?
"What, oh, am I good too?
"Of course I do. I want to get along."
And even to Goot, who ended up getting to the end. He smiled and spoke as he gently offered his hand and asked for a handshake. Goot took it and turned bright red all at once though. Is it a delicate year after all? Maybe I'm embarrassed to make casual contact with a girl. That's what I thought I'd do, and I almost thought I'd pull my hand off, and Goot grabbed me by the gush.
"Oh, oh, me too! Meg and I, we want to be friends!
And even though it turned bright red, he told me so. What's so cute about it? I got happy, so I overlaid my other hand on the goot too.
"Yeah! I'm happy!
"Ugh...!
More than that, Goot didn't say anything to me, but it passed properly with a powerful gripping hand. Unexpectedly, you got a healthy, cute girl and a lighter boy friend -!
"Have a lunch treat. Now they're coming without opening a period of time."
"Say something like that. See you in a couple of decades. What is it? Don't expect me to wait.... and"
"And?"
"Uh, no. Nothing. Take care of yourself."
"Oh, thank you. Bye."
Looks like we're done greeting each other as adults. I waved a boom forever as Dr. Rudd pulled me back on my heels.
Now, even if I wave forever, I'll be walking back and falling, so I turn around and advance my legs with Dr. Rudd before I cry. Hey, I don't cry.
"It's good to have good friends. It was worth stopping by Anuras."
"Ha, I'm so happy! I'll have to tell Mr. Gill too when I get home!
"To Gil? Um, ma, you'll be fine. I guess."
If you're looking forward to talking about your souvenirs when you get home and you're cowardly, Dr. Rudd is laughing bitterly at you anyway. Why not? You looked questionable, Dr. Rudd said, never mind, and stroked my head with a pong. Or do you care? But this face is one I'm not willing to talk to. You won't be able to hear it out. Mmm, I don't have a choice, but let's give it up.
"We're at the Beast Car Branch. I'll borrow the beast I'm booking, so just wait here for a little while."
"Ha!
Reaching the branch, we are again travelling using a beast car. From here on out, you fly to your destination with a flying beast. By the way, they're going to use the same beast on the way home. The amount goes up a little, but it's easier to keep borrowing, right?
The beast says Mr. Diega has prepared a strong child for you. I don't know how I took care of you. What kind of beast is it? I thought it was a bird? Waiting for me to think that way, Dr. Rudd came right back.
"Please wait. Let's go."
"Ha, yes......!?
The beast I saw there looked beyond my expectations. I accidentally lose my words and it solidifies. 'Cause, right?
It's an elephant. An elephant is right in front of you...! Even so, it's smaller than the elephant I know, I guess. About an elephant of a child? But it's white and kind of round in shape.
"New to Baloofa?
"Baloofa...... Yes, I've never seen it before"
Apparently this beast is called Baloofa. The colors and body shape are slightly different, but from the size of my ears and the length of my nose, I guess I'm an elephant. Oh, it's a flying beast, isn't it? I remember seeing a movie of an elephant flying long ago, but will it fly like that?
"He's a very big, smart beast. Not so fast, but excellent stability."
With that said, Dr. Rudd was carrying the basket with one arm. It's a big square basket... maybe.
"Come on, get in here."
I knew you'd ride! Is it in the form of a cobweb, like when you ask Mr. Gill to carry it?
"Duh, how do you fly...?
"It's a pleasure to ride."
Dr. Rudd laughs like a prankster. Kee, I'm curious......! For one thing, you can tell by riding it, right? I got into the basket as I was told. There's no entrance or anything, so once again, I'll get Fu to help me ride with the fuzz.
"Okay, I'm ready too. Are you coming?"
You're done connecting Baloofa to the basket, and when you get in with Hilary yourself, Dr. Rudd gently taps Baloofa's back leg three times with something like a shorter whip he had in his hand. And I'm surprised! All of a sudden, Baloofa started to swell!
"Huh? Huh? Baloofa, it will burst!?
Pugh, I don't care for Baloofa, who keeps swelling. The silhouette that was originally round is even more round, and it's getting bigger. Isn't it already the size of an adult elephant?
"Wow, I floated!
Even more surprisingly, Baloofa came up as it was! It kept rising and finally floating up to our connected basket to ride. This is just a balloon!?
"Ha ha, Meg gives me a good response. I'm not going to burst or anything. Baloofa is originally a creature that travels long in the sky. We travel to warm places during the cold weather. When it comes to Baloofa travel, it can also be called the seasonal poetry that gets cold. I don't see it anywhere near Ortus."
No migratory birds, are you talking about crossing elephants......! It's true that such a big, round elephant floats in the sky in a herd, and traveling would be a crimp. I want to see it sometime!
"I can indicate the direction of travel by gently tapping with this whip. If you want to go right, put your right foot twice, raise altitude three times, stroke when lowering, etc. And then because Baloofa will take the liberty of avoiding obstacles or dangerous places."
"Baloofa, shuuuuu"
I accidentally bit it. I mean, I'm so surprised! I don't usually bite anymore! Still, it's been a long time since I've been in this world, and I realize I still don't know about this world. I'm sure there are a lot of creatures, plants and things I don't know yet.
But I'm not in a hurry. My life has been so long. Little by little, I wish I knew all sorts of things. When I grow up and get stronger, I want to look around the world. Like your current father.... your father is just getting into going that way at work!
Loose, fluffy and empty journeys continue. Mr. Gill, it's a different comfort to fly. It comes with demonic props to cope with wind and temperature changes, but they shake differently. This balloofa is as comfortable as if on a cradle. Oh, I kind of want to sleep......
"You can stay asleep. Good night, Meg."
Dr. Rudd's kind voice and head like a chase. If anything is added...! Defeat decision. Good night......
"It's time to get there, Meg"
"Funya..."
The next time I woke up, the sun was already starting to tilt. Stand up to see the view outside as you fold the blanket you were calling me at some point. If you stretch your back, you'll see the critical.
"Wah...!
Then it was Ocean View that was spreading there! If you noticed, they were flying over the ocean. And I saw the continent a little further. That's probably the southern country, Nanray? This is your destination.
"Can you see the lighthouse over there? There's a cemetery nearby."
That being said, there was certainly a lighthouse ahead of me where Dr. Rudd pointed, and I could see something like a white flower garden spreading a little further ahead. Behind it... there are many graveyard-like stones built. Over there, Dr. Rudd's turn is asleep...
"Because there's a building under the lighthouse where you can keep the beast. If you keep it there, I'll head straight to the grave. Ready?"
"Okay."
Somehow, because the tone of my voice was quiet, my usually cheerful reply also gets a little grown-up. Greetings and replies are cheerful and mottled, but with the right time, I'm the girl that can be changed by the circumstances!
Slowly, Baloofa's altitude also drops. The lighthouse is approaching us as we look around, and we're about to land. Being a balloofa trained as a beast car, he unloaded it with exquisite addition and subtraction so that our basket on board would get to the ground softly before he got off. Then, when Baloofa herself lands fluttered, she makes a sound and squeezes with Pushu. It's kind of funny.
"We're here. Shall we go?"
"... Yes"
Dr. Rudd followed me down from the basket, too, and when I was working on Baloofa, he gently offered me a hand, so I take that hand. As it was, Dr. Rudd pulled Baloofa with his opposite hand, went to the building and deposited Baloofa. People come right out of the building and pull it off in the way they're used to. Maybe this is a place like the beast's landing place.
Hand over the card to the clerk and it will be returned through magic. Now I can borrow the same child again tomorrow. Dr. Rudd walked straight down the road to the cemetery as he put the card back into the storage demon prop.
Slowly. Step by step, so you can take it.
Chira, the side of Dr. Rudd I saw seemed just a little lonely, with very gentle eyes.
