160 156 Stories Surprise Box

One deep breath.

Since I decided to talk, I can see my heart moving at a tremendous rate.

"I have something to ask Mr. Druid, too."

Drink a sip of the remaining tea because it dries unusually in your mouth.

"That I'm Tamer. But there are no stars."

"What!"

I heard a small surprised voice.

"I think that's why I was able to tame Sola, the collapsed slime."

"Oh, yeah... that?

"Ciel hasn't taemed. My magic power is too little to do it."

Lack of stars means less magic.

There's no way I can Tame Adandala, who holds a huge amount of magic.

Hmm?

I wonder what's wrong.

Mr. Druid compares Sola to Ciel.

"Tame, are you ready? Because."

He touches his forehead as he says so.

It reminds me of The Mark of Tame.

Oh, you know what?

"That was made by Ciel himself. So I don't think you'll feel my magic from that sign."

"What! Is that happening? Is that it?... Ivy"

"Yes."

"From that mark, I felt Ivy's magic."

"What?"

That can't be right.

I'm not tayming, and that mark is something Ciel is making himself.

The two of us tilt our necks.

And I'll get close to the sleeping siel and look softly at the mark.

…………

I don't know what you mean.

"It's definitely Ivy's magic, isn't it?

"………………… Yes"

From the mark on Ciel's forehead, I feel slightly but exactly the same as my magic.

Magic is also slightly different from person to person, so there's no way you can go wrong with your magic.

Eh.

Is that it?

"Nya-yay."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was asleep. You woke me up."

"Nya-yay."

I'm sorry if I disturbed you, so the two of us gently leave the Siers.

What was that?

Talk to me.

Is that it?

"Are you all right?

When I'm stunned by the fact of the shock I just found out, Mr. Druid hears me worried.

Honestly, it's not okay.

It's a mayhem in my head.

In the meantime, heh.

"Yes. Uh, we'll keep talking."

"... you still have it?

"Hmm? Uh, oh, I have memories of a previous life,"

I kind of messed up the story.

You haven't said anything about this yet, have you?

Am I forgetting to mention something else?

"Memories of a previous life?

"Yes."

Is that it?

I don't know what I'm talking about and what I'm not talking about.

Eh, no stars and memories of previous life... that's all you have to talk about, right?

About Ciel... a little more around.

"It's kind of awesome Ivy."

Hmm?

Awesome?

"Really?

"Oh, it's like a surprise box"

... I'm not happy about that.

"Mr. Druid."

"Hahaha sorry. But I was so prepared to be stupid."

Ready?

Oh, you're talking about taking the stars.

"I couldn't sleep last night. 'Cause I thought I'd talk to Ivy today."

Things were a little different yesterday when I left.

I wonder if I was going to talk to you then.

"I wonder why. I've given up on thinking I had no choice but to tell Ivy, but I felt scared I'd get those eyes."

Those eyes... I'm sure it's about an eye mixed with hate and fear.

Those eyes scare me too.

"I spoke with great courage. Ivy was more of a surprise box, so I lost my power."

"Absolutely, it's not my fault!

Mr. Druid erupts into my assertion.

I get followed and laugh.

"I had a little idea when they told me I'd taken the star."

Eh!

"My house is a merchant. My father wasn't very good at his skills, but he worked hard to make the store bigger."

I guess he's a proud father.

I'm a little envious.

"The top two, but they had good skills and good stars. For that reason, they were the ones who made my father disapprove. I wondered if they would take care of my father if the stars were gone many times."

I see.

Is it true that Mr. Druid's brother, whom I had, has long been sorry for his character?

I kind of felt that way though.

"So when I saw the two of them making noise about no stars, I was afraid because I thought it was my fault. But just a little, I was hoping that this would make my family friendly. Well, I couldn't."

I guess you can't do it with that guy who's making a scene that it's all Mr. Druid's fault.

"Mr. Druid."

"Hmm?"

"I'm looking for people now"

"... Oh, you said you were looking for slaves"

"Yes. But I haven't decided to be a slave. I'm looking for someone I can trust and want to travel with. The reason we're looking for slaves is because we have the status quo we just talked about."

It wasn't something I could tell anyone, so I was a slave who could keep a secret.

"I see. You sure don't want Ivy's surprise box"

"Nooo! You can't surprise me with a box! You may not have noticed that, but Mr. Druid's skills, too, right?

"Hahaha, I know. It's known to the inhabitants of All Towns to take the stars."

Mr. Druid with a sad look on his face.

... I don't think I noticed.

I've been holding you captive for a long time, so maybe you're invisible.

"It's not you, it's the giver."

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever heard information about more stars?

"There won't be more stars...... ah! I can increase it..."

I think I noticed.

What happens if the public finds out that there are people who can overturn the common sense of Mr. Druid?

"Mr. Druid, would you please travel with me?

"What, me?

"Yes. If you have an awesome obsession with this ol' town, I'll give up. But if you don't, you have to travel with me."

I don't know, I've been thinking about proceeding more carefully, but you're a gudagda.

But it feels like me.

"Ivy, if I could add more stars, I'd think I'd be in the way for Ivy."

Mr. Druid, are you still confused?

Or is your horizon a little narrower?

"Mr. Druid, Sola has the power to help the dying Mr. Druid. And I even gave birth to Flem."

Did you give birth? Fine, right?

Speaking of which, I haven't told you yet that Sora and Flem eat potion.

Oh, Sola even started eating her sword.

"Ah!"

"Ciel is a pretty superior adandara among demons. And it hasn't been taemed... it would be even more amazing if it had been done, wouldn't it? Because no star has taemed Adandala."

"Ahhh... is that Ciel awesome or Ivy awesome"

Sure, but don't feel like Ciel is amazing.

Because even the mark can be imitated.

"Maybe Ciel is making my magic"

"No, Ivy. You can't imitate magic."

"That's the same mark for Tame, isn't it?"

"Oh. Well, you said you made a mark"

"Yes."

"... the power of Ciel is amazing too"

"Yes."

"Am I one of Ivy's surprise boxes?

"Are you coming with me?

"... I don't know"

The words that followed after getting lost were a little weak.

I'm sure it's about the family.

The guilt of taking the star seems to be tying him up all the time.

"Mr. Druid, I think how you live depends on who you are. Even if you encounter unexpected things along the way."

"Ivy."

I've always wanted to blame someone for having no stars.

But I can't change reality.

Then it's a waste of time to be a jerk.

"I think that's important to see what Mr. Druid himself wants to do"
