435 419 Stories Shami's Cave

"Well, shall we go?"

Mr. Nargas will take the lead and go for the cave that is the residence of Shami.

They say there's a little ramp, but it's not that steep of a road.

Well, I don't 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 "grunt" your throat.

It's kind of sweet all the time.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you as you really are, so you must be happy"

"Sure, it's been a while. Too cute already."

Stroking Ciel's face and throat as he walks, the sound of "grunting" 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.

"Excuse me, are you bored"

"No, I thought you were very close."

Mr. Jaggi speaks as if he was impressed by the alternation between me and Ciel.

"Because I am a valued companion and a family member"

"I've always thought you'd be aware of a really good relationship. Is that relationship from the beginning?

"Right. We've been friends since the beginning. Oh, but Ciel was a little scared at first."

In answer to Mr. Early's words as he walked behind him, Ciel hit his body a bit.

"I'm sorry, I'm not scared at all right now and I'm an important family member."

"Nya-yay."

He didn't like the word that he was scared.

Sure, Ciel was nice to me from the start.

"Is that relationship something you can do from the middle of nowhere?

"What? Could there be a Tamer who doesn't have a good relationship?

"That's right. My childhood friend, he was expecting me because my grandfather was a well-known Tamer, but he didn't seem to be able to use the demons he had tamed."

I'll use it, right?

"I'm not using Sola or Sol."

"What?"

"I'll do you a favor if anything happens. But if you don't like the Solas, I think that's fine. Isn't it strange to use it among your family? Or is Mr. Early's family?

"No, I'm sorry. That was a bad way to put it."

Mr. Early apologizes in a hurry, but I guess you have that idea somewhere.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the word that comes out.

"We'll help each other."

"Help each other?"

Mr. Early tilts his neck at your father's words.

"Normal families would be helping each other, wouldn't they? Well, there are a lot of exceptions."

Mr. Early and Mr. Nargas laughed a little bitterly at your father's words.

"Help each other... with that said, Mr. Marsha said something similar"

Mr. Marsha?

That's a name I've heard somewhere.

Where are you?

Mm-hmm. I can't remember.

"Ivy, thank you. I'll pass it on to childhood."

"No, I think we can start improving our relationship whenever we want. It'll take time, though."

Later, it depends on Tamer's motivation for childhood taming.

I can give you some advice, but it's up to you to do it or not.

I hope it turns out well.

"Nevertheless, you got out easy"

Everyone gave a subtle look to your father's words.

In an emergency, you can't 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.

This time, the captain gave me a permit, but the gatekeepers opened the gate without confirming it.

"Oh, that sucks a little"

Shit?

"I guess that means we can't even make that decision anymore. You can think of it as an effect of surgery."

Is that so?

Preparing to solve the operation, the captain said.

But he said it was still going to take a while.

I hope I can make it.

"That's crazy."

"Ah."

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?

"Is it a shami?

"No, I'm not. There's no such thing as a demon around here."

Tilt your neck to Mr. Early's words.

"This is the neighborhood, and I can see a nest up there"

When Mr. Nargas looked at him, he did see a chunk made of twigs on the tree.

That's probably the nest?

"I think I'm raising a child at this time of year, but I don't have one of them, which is an anomaly"

Slow down the signs, but there's no sign of a demon near here.

Maybe it's possible that Shami did something.

"Let's hurry up. We don't have time to look into the demons here right now."

Mr. Nargas nods at your father's words.

Mr. Pial told me that the cave, which is the residence of the shami, is just a few moments away.

"Right there."

A short walk from where there was an anomaly saw the entrance and exit of a large cave.

"We'll see what's going on inside, just wait."

When Mr. Nargas and Mr. Jaggi say so, they go low on their posture toward the cave.

When I followed the two with my gaze, thrilled, I found myself safely close to the cave.

After a while I could see the two backs.

I'll get to that, but I'll have to wait.

"You really haven't had a single shami so far."

To Mr. Pial's words, I do think.

Even though I'm frightened of Ciel, it's odd that there isn't one.

To a vanishing demon, a shami that went crazy.

I don't know, that's disgusting.

"He's home."

Turning his gaze to Mr. Early's voice, Mr. Nargas and Mr. Jaggi ran over here with their posture low.

"How'd it go?

"That's..."

"What's up? He's not here?

Mr. Jaggi shakes his neck beside Mr. Pial's words.

"I could certainly confirm Shami's appearance in the cave. And I could see there was a lot of garbage."

Garbage!

After all, did you fit in here?

When that happens, it means the magic of the garbage is likely to have caused the shami to go crazy, right?

"How much garbage was there?

Mr. Nargas leans between his eyebrows at Mr. Early's words.

"Massive. I have no idea how far back it is."

"Right."

"How was Shami? It's quiet in the cave for coming close by."

Nodding at your father's words.

It's really too quiet.

I've heard that forest animals with demons are sensitive to signs and have good ears.

And yet, there's no movement at all.

"I slept round. I kicked a little rock and made a noise, but there was no response."

Sleeping?

It's strange to sleep even when it sounds.

"Let's check the cave"

In your father's words, Mr. Nargas sees me.

"If I can go with you, I want to go"

"Ivy's fine. Ciel, if anything happens, take Ivy to a safe place."

Ciel snorts loudly at your father's words once.

"Let's go."

Your father, who is supposed to watch, takes the lead and tries to walk out.

Is that okay?

Looking at Mr. Nargas and the others, he doesn't seem particularly uncomfortable.

... No, you can't.

Well, I guess your father will pay attention later.

"Ivy, come behind me."

"Okay."

Moving right behind your father, Ciel came all the way next to me.

"When you say you're asleep, you don't know what time you're gonna wake up, so don't be alarmed."

"Yeah. Take care of your father, too"

"Ah."

After your father replies, he sees the Mr. Nargas behind me.

And I smiled a little bitterly and headed to the cave.
