Chapter 23

13-yrs old (7)

We got on to the otems and moved through the forest .

It was bumpy than I thought and I ended up vomiting and took a break, Shimuparrot awoke and tried to run away, we frantically lined up Otems while supporting the fathers who seemed to fall out of Otems on a rough road . It was a busy way to home .

However, it was worth it, at a distance our village settlement was visible .

Finally I can return to my home .

The time was already twilight and the sky was red .

"Abel-san, thank you! . . . That, I'm really sorry I said rude things . "

"No, it's fine, I also bothered a lot of troubles, I got help too . Ah! You do not have to do that cutting the cross . "

"Oh, is that so?"

Shibi lowers his raised hand and scratches his head cheekily .

"Actually I . . . I thought that it would be a love rival with Abel-san, so it was just . . . I would like to bully . . . "

"Love rival?"

"But, by I look at you defeating such tremendous monster at ease and you using healing magic skillfully, I cannot be compared with you . . . "

Shibi said that love rival, far from having a girlfriend, I do not have any close acquaintance .

By any chance Philo?

I was not conscious of such thought . . . .

But in such a country side, marriage seems to be premature, in fact both my father and mother are pretty young .

Perhaps it would be better for me to think about it soon .

Basically I who was an shut-in have few friends .

Also, recently, I heard through circulated rumors that the Beleke family has a devil that turns humans into otems .

I think that there would be no one who believes those rumors, but there is no difference that my peculiar personality is known to them .

There will be many suitors for beautiful Giselle, but there will not be many girls who will like me .

On that point Philo, there is also a relationship between me and the chieftain, there are many contact points from a long time ago .

When I think a lot about it she's a nuisance girl, but I do not dislike .

Maren's colony is not wide there .

Compared to the previous life, it is a quite closed community .

Given that the rumors of my pecularity are twisted and spreading, if there is a prospect of marrying me in the future, there is none other than Philo?

Well, well, I do not have to think heavily so far .

I am still thirteen years old in this world . It will come to be if the time comes .

. . . However, it might be better to behave by considering others .

"Philo and I . . . "

"Aa I thought, Giselle-san was an unattainable flower . . . "

"Yup?"

No, wait a moment .

I do not really understand what you are saying .

"I was asked to carry the magical appliances during the time when fire spiritual ceremony was held, but I dropped a part of the decoration . . . At that time, Giselle-san looked for it together . "

Fire spiritual ceremony is a festival celebration for the beginning of the summer called "Fire Dragon Season" in Japan .

The seasons of this world are divided into two categories: the fire dragon season and the ice dragon season .

"Come to think of it, that day . . . I did not see Abel-san, Giselle-san also hurried home quite early . "

"What? Oh, Aaa~, un, that day I am a bit busy . "

"At that time, right, I skipped that day because I was busy taking care of the four squirrels . "

Chimera is difficult to maintain life .

Sometimes it will develop sudden problems in it's body and it will die as it is .

The multi-headed mouse named Jan garian . I kept watching carefully even after the fire spirit festival . It was worthwhile to succeed in watching until the age of safety . Although it was originally a short-lived species .

Jan garian was fighting with it's other 5 heads when feeding, I wonder if it was giving up on some days . It was pretty cute .

I cried when it died . I have also made a grave in the garden .

My thinking diverted, it was a fire spirit festival .

I remembered that my mother said that if atleast one of us do not go then there will be no face to my father, so Giselle went alone on that day .

In the end, Giselle just helped with preparations and showed her face and came back immediately by making excuse of poor physical condition .

Truely, Who did she look like?

. . . From now on, let's try to attend all the major ceremonies .

"I and Giselle are brother and sister, it is not that kind of relationship . "

"What? Oh, a-re, is that different?"

"Aa, it's different . "

Oh, I guess he must have misunderstood seeing us from the distance that Giselle is sticking with me outside .

In this settlement, surname envelopes are not uncommon .

Surely, I and Gissele are too close in distance .

It may not have been seen as a sibilings .

I should have been careful, I was just beginning to think so recently .

"Well, then, may I call you as my brother!?"

Shibi's love interest was Giselle .

Then what I say is decided .

"It's a no!"

I am Syscon .

It will be time to get married to Gissele, but now I still do not want to think about such a thing .

I have confidence in shedding bloody tears at her wedding .

"Ughugu, muu . . . "

"Uwah, . . . What, what? Oi, where is this!?"

As if to respond to my scream, I heard two voices from my back .

It seems that my father and Gallia got up because I raised my voice .

"stop!"

When I make a voice, the four otems stop at once .

I and Shibi descended from Otem, standing in front of our fathers, told them that I had subdued Greater Bear .

"Greater Bear . . . that, an oversized . . . . By any chance, could not that be a Greater Bear?"

Gallia twists his neck .

It seems that it is too incredible to beat Greater Bear .

"What, what are you talking about, Father! Abel-san, 'zapatt~to' blown it through the trees and trees . . . already, that was truly amazing!"

" . . . It seems that when I was fallen, you 2 seemed to get along well all together . "

Shibi became my subordinate .

"If I remember correctly, I should have my stomach . . . . "

While saying that, my father strokes his body from the torn part of his clothes .

It is the part ripped by the nail of Greater Bear .

"I closed it with the flesh of that monster, since it was successful there was almost no traces left . So if there is smething wrong or inconvenient . I can also peel off and adjust again so that something happens, please be sure to tell me soon . As the number of days goes by, the more it will become part of your father's body . . . as soon as possible . . . "

"Mum, mu . . . "

From there we abandoned Otems and we decided to walk home .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Later, we returned home safely .

At the entrance of the village, Giselle was waiting with an anxious expression .

When she saw me, her face shined and she came running .

"Were you safe? Nii-sama!"

I put Shimparotto on the ground, hugged Giselle and stroked her head .

By feeling a sight and looked back, Shibi was looking at me anxiously .

No, this is just a skinship . . .

When I heard the story, Apparently Giselle seemed to have been waiting here for a long time since she knew that I headed for hunting .

I guess she was so lonely .

Sorry, I did not mean to leave the village for such a long time .

"It's good . . . I am worried and uneasy as to whether my brother went down on the way . . . "

. . . As I thought, you are looking at me like that
