Athos and Gaius showed me around a house. It was a simple house made of wood. The entrance was large enough for griffons to enter. The house had originally been vacant, but they had made it more comfortable.
Thank you very much.
I thanked them and entered the house with Athos and Gaius. The house had only the bare necessities. But I was happy that they provided us with a place to spend time.
The child griffons came inside together. The adult griffons began to take action, saying they were going to build a nest outside the house. Wanon stayed behind to watch me and the baby griffon, while the other five adult griffons flew off to build a nest.
Still, I thought as I watched them fly away that Raymer stood out because of his golden fur.
Ceefo is relaxing outside the house.
What did the griffons say?
They're building a nest.
I see.
I see. They have names, don't they?
I said this to Mr. Athos because he had lumped all the griffons together under the name "Master Griffon. Each griffon has its own name and is a separate entity.
I thought, "...... Oh, that's the name Lelunda is calling him.
Was that the name Lelunda gave them?"
Athos and Gaius each uttered.
'Hmmm, yes.
I thought that since it has a name, I should call it by its name. I think it's nice to be called by name, too. In the village, they didn't call me much. That's why I think Lelunda would be happy to be called by her name.
Athos and his friends said that it might be too much to be afraid of ......, but the child griffons said, "Gurururururu (I want to be called by the name Lelunda gave me)," so I started calling them by their names.
After that day, I went to say hello again to the villagers.
The next day I was with Gaius.
I asked Gaius if there was anything I could do to help, and he said that since I was a child, I should help in various ways. So I decided to help the villagers in various ways. To be honest, I had never really interacted with people, so I was nervous about going to them and asking them to let me help them, but I was going to give it my best shot.
But before that, Gaius took me by the hand and said he would introduce me to the village children. It was the first time for me to walk like this with someone holding my hand.
Since I met Gaius, there have been so many firsts. If I had not met Gaius, I might not be here like this. Because I sang a song with Ceefo, Gaius became curious and came to see me, which led to us being together like this now. Coincidences are amazing.
The village of the beastmen was a village of about 30 people in total.
Gaius told me as he pulled on my arm that there were seven children in the village, including Gaius.
Six children, not including Gaius.
That seemed like a lot to me.
Gaius was my first friend. I wondered if I could be friends with all six of them. I had never had any friends, but I wondered if I would have that many friends.
Friends. Just thinking about that word makes me feel excited. It makes me happy.
Gaius did. I wonder if the six of them will become my friends.
What's wrong?
I squeezed his hand, and Gaius asked me that.
I squeezed his hand, and Gaius asked me, "Will you be my ...... friend?"
The ones you're about to meet?
Yes.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that. I'm fine. I'm here too, so you don't have to worry about that."
Gaius chuckled and patted my head with his other hand, the one he wasn't holding. Gaius, you are so kind. Gentleness makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I feel safe when I am stroked.
I see. I'm glad.
"Hmm. Thanks.
I was a little anxious, but Gaius was smiling, so I felt relieved.
Because I felt relieved, I thought I would do my best.
Gaius then took me out in front of the six children. Gaius introduced me and I was a little nervous because of all the attention.
Since this is a village of wolf beastmen, there are only wolf beastmen children. Though they are different in color and so on.
There were two girls and four boys.
There were more boys than girls.
They were a little wary of me, but with Gaius' help, I got along with the two girls. I could not get that close to the four boys. My hair, which I hadn't cut and had grown long, got pulled a little. I was sure I hadn't cut it. Gaius got mad at the boy who pulled my hair.
I realized again that my bangs were long and I should cut them. Even when I was in the village, there was no one to cut my hair for me, so I cut it myself as I saw fit. There was no other way to cut my long hair.
I was abandoned and forgot to cut it while I was living at the gryphon's place.
The meeting ended with me hoping to get to know the boys a little better.
I told them I wanted a haircut, and Gaius called Athos to come over. I said I would cut it myself, but Athos insisted, so I asked him to cut it for me.
I asked him to cut it for me.
I asked Gaius, "Will it fit?
I asked Gaius, "Does it fit?" and he replied, "Oh, oh.
