Strangely enough, the doughnuts tasted just like I imagined.
I tilt my neck at it, but that happens... I guess.
Still, it's delicious.
What Mr. Druid bought me was a candy coating around, though similar to a doughnut.
A treat called Ameppo.
This one is delicious too.
"It's delicious."
"I haven't eaten in a while, but it's delicious"
"Don't you eat sweet food?
"Hmm? Yeah, the guys on the team I've been on lately didn't eat it."
Yes, it was.
Mr. Druid had just lost his people.
I even bothered you yesterday.
I guess it was a little glamorous to invite you to a break.
But there was a situation this time...
"Hmm? What's wrong?
I guess I even gave you a troubled look, Mr. Druid worried me.
"No, it's okay"
Is that it?
'The guys on the team I've been on lately,' I said, but that's kind of an unnatural way of putting it.
"Um, what team have you been on?
"Oh, I'm not on the team."
"What? Hmm? But the team?"
"Bad, that's a lack of explanation. Every request I make, I let them join a variety of teams. So I don't have my own team."
"Really?"
I've never heard of joining a team before every request.
Is it normal in All Town?
"Um, are there a lot of people like that in Alltown?
"Is he like me?
"Yes."
"No, not much. If we team up properly, we'll have a better chance of success."
I can't believe you take such good care of yourself, but you don't have your own team.
I'm sure he'll be a good leader.
No, I guess he's an adjunct to stopping the leader's rampage.
Is there any reason not to team up?
... I guess you shouldn't ask.
"Really?"
Oh, the last one.
Put the remaining one doughnut in your mouth.
Dusty sweetness.
I knew you liked it no matter how many times you ate it ~.
... Ah, my memories are messed up before and now.
As far as I'm concerned, I've never eaten before!
"Hahaha, don't eat like it tastes good. Can I help you?
"No, I'm fine. Besides, we're going to go to the woods and report today."
"Oh, yeah. Was there anyone who fit the criteria?
"I was there, but I said no"
"Really?
"Yes. Kind of uncomfortable,"
"Right. Sorry to hear that."
"It's no problem. I'll look slowly."
"Right. Oh, you know, if you're going to the woods, can I come with you?
And Mr. Druid?
I don't know, I feel the kind of gaze I'd expect... maybe.
"Is it Ciel?
"Ugh, sorry. I couldn't take my time yesterday because there was so much going on… I want to stroke it if I'm allowed"
Oh, is Mr. Druid interested, too?
At first I was surprised, but then I thought you weren't interested because you were normal.
Well, it's right after you get hurt.
Can't you afford that?
"Let's go together! I think the gatekeeper would be more comfortable with that."
Interaction with the gatekeeper this morning.
I wonder if they repeat it every time I go through the gate, I'm glad you're worried, but I have a little trouble.
So if you're coming with me, I'd appreciate it.
"A gatekeeper. Ha ha ha, they are very conscious that they will protect the children of the town."
"Right. It was tough in the morning."
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah"
"Really?
"I wonder if he's dangerous, or if he looks young, or something else, or if he's going to do something reckless. Once or twice a year, it's famous in this town for gatekeepers and kids to get into a big fight." I'm going to the woods! '' I'm with my parents! 'What? "
Wow.
I don't know what to say, I'm glad I got out in the woods this morning.
Could it possibly have been said that you couldn't do without a guardian?
... Oh, I'm an adventurer on a journey, so are you okay?
"Well, shall we go?"
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it"
Is Mr. Druid really looking forward to it or is he a little twitchy?
For me Ciel is one of those people I can see whenever I want, so I don't really know what that feels like.
I also forget that it's a rare demon.
Exit the square and head to the woods.
The gatekeeper is with Mr. Druid, too, so permission came out immediately.
I knew it would pass softly.
Walk towards the back of the woods for a while.
When I look at Mr. Druid, I see him running his gaze over here looking for Ciel.
You just won't find it that way.
"Um."
"Oh, I'm sorry. What?"
"I'll be right with you."
"What?"
I smile a little bitterly at him looking around at my words.
"Um, up there"
"Up?"
"Yes. Ciel, come down"
To my words, Ciel comes down from the top of the tree without any footsteps.
"Wow. You were up there."
Mr. Druid is staring at the tree that Ciel came down from.
Is that so strange?
"That's cool."
"Yes."
Oh, I got strength in my reply.
But I wanted someone to admit how cool Ciel is.
Because I'm so proud of my company that I think it's a waste of my monopoly.
"Oh, I forgot Sola and the others."
Open the lid of the bag raised from your shoulder and your gaze matches Sola's.
It's kind of like a fudge......
I completely forgot, so I can't make excuses.
"Eh, I'm sorry. Do you want to go outside?
When I hear it, Sora jumps out of the bag with momentum.
Hold the bag tight and check inside.
Good. Flem is safe.
Frème looking at me sooo much as I look at him.
... You look so sleepy.
"Flem, are you still sleeping?
I shake a little and my eyes slowly close.
Slept.
I sleep better than Sola did when we met.
Besides, again. Who?
"What's up?
"No, Flem fell asleep."
"Flem?"
Well, I've met him before, but I was confused then, too.
Or you didn't have a name then.
"It's about another slime."
"Oh, you mean Flem.... Who is it?
Mr. Druid looks into the bag and asks me strangely.
Who is it?
And besides answering, what do you want me to say?
I knew you cared.
From the mouth of the sleeping slime. Who's Taller?
This didn't happen when Sola.
Oh, look closely, whose spots are in the bag!
"You've never seen Slime asleep before."
That's what Mr. Schiffer and the others told you.
Do you still only see about the people who are taim?
"Nya-yay."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Ciel, I haven't found anything for the trip yet. I'm looking for you now."
"Nya-yay."
"Puppy, puppy, puppy, puppy"
Mr. Druid is surprised by Ciel's voice and his eyes are open to Sola's voice.
Sora has a bit of a doya face.
"Sola, don't play"
Sora sees how people are and makes fun of them sometimes.
"Wow! I've seen Tamed Slime, but I've never seen a kid like Sola before"
Mr. Druid suddenly got excited.
It was an unexpected thing, so I freaked out a little bit and my body left.
Mr. Druid, who notices it, coughs several times.
"Bad. I got a little excited"
"No. Is Sola amazing?
Well, I know it's amazing because it treats people who are dying.
But the way I put it now felt differently than that.
"I've never seen a slime so emotional before."
Emotional?
View Sola.
... a little chesty.
Sure, that's unusual.
