âWell, shall we go?â\n
Mr. Nargas will take the lead and go for the cave that is the residence of Shami.
They say thereâs a little ramp, but itâs not that steep of a road.
Well, I donât care if the hill lasts for a little while, or if the rocky mountain lasts.
Looking next door, Ciel is walking in a good mood.
When you notice my gaze, you rub your face against me as you look at this one and âgruntâ your throat.
Itâs kind of sweet all the time.
âItâs been a long time since Iâve seen you as you really are, so you must be happyâ
âSure, itâs been a while. Too cute already.â
Stroking Cielâs face and throat as he walks, the sound of âgruntingâ becomes louder, as he demands more.
The same thing goes on all the time because my hands stick to that cuteness and I stroke my head.
Looking forward, I could see that Mr. Nargas and Mr. Jaggi cared for each other and for us behind them.
âExcuse me, are you boredâ
âNo, I thought you were very close.â
Mr. Jaggi speaks as if he was impressed by the alternation between me and Ciel.
âBecause I am a valued companion and a family memberâ
âIâve always thought youâd be aware of a really good relationship. Is that relationship from the beginning?
âRight. Weâve been friends since the beginning. Oh, but Ciel was a little scared at first.â
In answer to Mr. Earlyâs words as he walked behind him, Ciel hit his body a bit.
âIâm sorry, Iâm not scared at all right now and Iâm an important family member.â
He didnât like the word that he was scared.
Sure, Ciel was nice to me from the start.
âIs that relationship something you can do from the middle of nowhere?
âWhat? Could there be a Tamer who doesnât have a good relationship?
âThatâs right. My childhood friend, he was expecting me because my grandfather was a well-known Tamer, but he didnât seem to be able to use the demons he had tamed.â\n
âIâm not using Sola or Sol.â
âIâll do you a favor if anything happens. But if you donât like the Solas, I think thatâs fine. Isnât it strange to use it among your family? Or is Mr. Earlyâs family?
âNo, Iâm sorry. That was a bad way to put it.â
Mr. Early apologizes in a hurry, but I guess you have that idea somewhere.
Otherwise, it wouldnât be the word that comes out.
âWeâll help each other.â
Mr. Early tilts his neck at your fatherâs words.
âNormal families would be helping each other, wouldnât they? Well, there are a lot of exceptions.â
Mr. Early and Mr. Nargas laughed a little bitterly at your fatherâs words.
âHelp each other⊠with that said, Mr. Marsha said something similarâ
Thatâs a name Iâve heard somewhere.
Mm-hmm. I canât remember.
âIvy, thank you. Iâll pass it on to childhood.â
âNo, I think we can start improving our relationship whenever we want. Itâll take time, though.â
Later, it depends on Tamerâs motivation for childhood taming.
I can give you some advice, but itâs up to you to do it or not.
I hope it turns out well.
âNevertheless, you got out easyâ
Everyone gave a subtle look to your fatherâs words.
In an emergency, you canât go out into the woods without permission from the captain or Mr. Gilmouth.
Mr. Nargas and the others also had instructions from the captain to get out of the woods. \nThis time, the captain gave me a permit, but the gatekeepers opened the gate without confirming it.
âOh, that sucks a littleâ
âI guess that means we canât even make that decision anymore. You can think of it as an effect of surgery.â
Preparing to solve the operation, the captain said.
But he said it was still going to take a while.
Mr. Jaggi and Mr. Pial look at the woods around them and stop their feet.
Mr. Nargas and the others look around and are on guard.
Could it be that my predictions have come off?
âNo, Iâm not. Thereâs no such thing as a demon around here.â
Tilt your neck to Mr. Earlyâs words.
âThis is the neighborhood, and I can see a nest up thereâ
When Mr. Nargas looked at him, he did see a chunk made of twigs on the tree.
Thatâs probably the nest?
âI think Iâm raising a child at this time of year, but I donât have one of them, which is an anomalyâ
Slow down the signs, but thereâs no sign of a demon near here.
Maybe itâs possible that Shami did something.
âLetâs hurry up. We donât have time to look into the demons here right now.â
Mr. Nargas nods at your fatherâs words.
Mr. Pial told me that the cave, which is the residence of the shami, is just a few moments away.
\nâHow was Shami? Itâs quiet in the cave for coming close by.â
Nodding at your fatherâs words.
Iâve heard that forest animals with demons are sensitive to signs and have good ears.
And yet, thereâs no movement at all.
âI slept round. I kicked a little rock and made a noise, but there was no response.â
Itâs strange to sleep even when it sounds.
âLetâs check the caveâ
In your fatherâs words, Mr. Nargas sees me.
âIf I can go with you, I want to goâ
âIvyâs fine. Ciel, if anything happens, take Ivy to a safe place.â
Ciel snorts loudly at your fatherâs words once.
Your father, who is supposed to watch, takes the lead and tries to walk out.
Looking at Mr. Nargas and the others, he doesnât seem particularly uncomfortable.
Well, I guess your father will pay attention later.
âIvy, come behind me.â
Moving right behind your father, Ciel came all the way next to me.
âWhen you say youâre asleep, you donât know what time youâre gonna wake up, so donât be alarmed.â
âYeah. Take care of your father, tooâ
After your father replies, he sees the Mr. Nargas behind me.
And I smiled a little bitterly and headed to the cave.
