We returned to the village from Mr. Douroian's place. When I returned to the village, Mr. Lan and the others had not yet returned to the quintessence.
Everyone who remained in the village said to me, "Welcome back," and no matter how many times I am told that it is nice to be welcomed back like this.
It was fun to head out to Mr. Doulouane's place.
But I think it is good to go out because it is an outing. After the outing, I realize that this village is where I am going back to.
This place is important to me. It is precisely because I have been to other places that I can feel this even more.
I wonder what Mr. Lang is doing now.
I wonder what he is doing. I hope I'm not pestering you about Nilsi."
Mr. Oshashio replies to my musings.
I feel somewhat uncomfortable without Mr. Lan. I feel lonely without Mr. Lan, who was always by my side.
Oshasio and the others understand that I am lonely and talk to me.
I decided to try to do many things to distract myself from my loneliness. I thought I would try to pack in a lot of different things every day.
But of course, if I push myself too hard, my body might not be able to keep up, so I'll try to rest properly.
Based on what Mr. Doroian told me, I tried praying.
After all, it doesn't have any immediate effect. I'm not sure when it happens. ......
I tried to see if something would happen after I prayed, but there was no result, so I decided to practice magic. I put magic power into it and make it form wings. I'm not sure what kind of scenery awaits me if I can fly higher - farther and farther up into the blue sky. I wonder if it's because the clear sky seems to feel so good.
"Gururururururu (Lelunda, you're practicing to fly so hard).
"Yes, I am. I want to surprise you, Mr. Lan.
I want to surprise you, Mr. Lang.
I think that it would be nice if he praised me for being able to fly like this.
Flying in the sky with Reimer. Not only flying, but also making rounds around the village. However, I have not found any suspicious people while patrolling in the sky.
When I fly in the sky, I sometimes encounter villagers. When the winged ones met in the sky, I saw them moving their hands and making some kind of signal. I was curious and asked them about it, and they said that kind of greeting has been passed down to them.
After all, there is still much I don't know about them, even though I feel I have become friends with them a little.
No, I don't know. Even though I have been living with the beastmen for a long time, there are still many things I don't know about them. I hope to get to know them better and get to know them better.
After taking a break from running in the sky, I decided to study with Lilidh, Kayu, and Luceno.
Even after Auntie passed away, a room in Auntie's house - where Oshasio now lives alone - is one of the places we study.
I got rid of most of the books that Auntie had when we fled the village of the wolf beastmen. However, my grandmother had left us a lot of educational materials after we arrived here. Some of the rest were put together by Mr. Lan.
Recently, I have been learning from Sadda and the other merchants who came from the Migga Kingdom. But I only learn from them when the adults are around.
I'm going to have a new baby soon, aren't I? I want a boy.
If it's a boy, you have Enalei.
Enalei is a boy, but I thought it would be more fun to have a beast boy too. Besides, Enalei would be better off with a man her own age.
I think I'd rather have a girl! Because they're definitely prettier!
So they were studying, but it was Lilidh and Kayu who were having such a chat.
They both seemed very interested in the new life to be born in this village. I'm looking forward to it too. Last year, only Enalei was born, but this year we are expecting more children.
I'd like a boy, too. Or rather, a little brother.
Luceno's mother is also one of the pregnant women, and Luceno is hoping to have a younger brother. But when the time comes to have a baby, I'm sure she'll adore him, even if it's a little sister.
Which one would you prefer, Lelunda?"
I'd be happy with either one. I would be happy with either a boy or a girl.
I would be happy either way. I am happy to see a little life being born and growing up here again.
I wonder if I was like this when I was a little girl. It feels strange to think about it.
I'm sure it was. Either way, I'm happy! But still, Luceno is going to have a brother. That's nice."
I think about my sister a little at such words from Kayu. I wonder how my sister is doing now. I remember that my sister and I had never had any sisterly interactions.
I think about that. "Lelunda, what's wrong?"
Nothing. It's more than that.
I was thinking about my sister when Kayu asked me curiously. I changed the subject to Kayu's words.
