Chapter 49 (2/2)

When the girl heard those words, she grew soetic face

[I apologize Mimiru, is unable to speak] (Mimiru)

Hiiro was silent He understood the significance of those words She, for so fro as simple as a sore throat

“…is that so? Sorry about that Forgive me” (Hiiro)

[No, please don’t worry about it] (Mimiru)

As expected of Hiiro He wasn’t foolish nor arrogant enough to treat a child, especially one with a disability, disrespectfully Although his response was a little rough

“In any case, about before I’host Do you understand what they are?” (Hiiro)

[Yes It seems the only one in my family that can completely see them is me] (Mimiru)

“I see No matter orld you’re in, there’s always somebody who has developed a sixth-sense (Hiiro)

[…?] (Mimiru)

Hiiro knew that she wouldn’t understand what sixth-sense meant It would be troublesome to explain it to her Thus, Hiiro just set it aside

“Don’t worry about It seeher than normal” (Hiiro)

[Is that soood?] (Mimiru)

“Who knows? But it’s better to have it than not, right?” (Hiiiro)

[Then all is well] (Mimiru)

Seriously considering it to be a blessing, she s which, she then took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead As it was hot outside, it couldn’t be helped

The girl looked no older than 10 years old Yet, judging from her smile, she felt a lot older It is as if she had the smile of an adult

She had long, reddish-brown hair that grew past her waist A large, green ribbon was tied around near the top of her head, prominent as if it were her trade, hazel eyes and fair white skin practically ensured that she would grow up to be a beautiful lady in the future

Her pico-pico beast ears and her flickering beast tail made her look so cute that Hiiro deterh Arnold was not a lolicon, Hiiro didn’t want to iirl standing before him

(For so keeps bothering me)

Even though that senuine smile, it felt unnatural for some reason

[Ghost-san What are you doing here?] (Mimiru)

“I told you that I’host, already Besides, I just came here by chance” (Hiiro)

[Do you knohere this is?] (Mimiru)

“The <king tree=””>>, right? It’s not like I sneaked in here As a ht here by my companions” (Hiiro)

However, hearound the <king tree=””>> aimlessly

[I see Is this your first ti here?] (Mimiru)

“Aaah” (Hiiro)

[I like this place as well When I was five, an illness took my voice Ever since then, I come here really often] (Mimiru)

From what she just said, it seemed that she wasn’t born a ed, she lost the ability to speak

Silence enveloped the area This was a sign thatleft to say

(Well, I’ve solved the puzzle that had been bothering uess I should…)

As Hiiro was about to leave, the girl’s leg had suddenly slipped

“Tsk” (Hiiro)

Hiiro instinctively rushed towards the girl As he prevented her froht her in his arms

“Darn…without thinking I just…” (Hiiro)

As Hiiro began irl down on the bench to rest However, as he looked at the sky, he noticed a blazingly bright sun It was currently the season of Raer (Su time, it will not doubt drain their vitality

(The fever and her fainting Along with this amount of sweat Without a doubt, these are the symptoms of heatstroke)

Hiiro contemplated about how he should deal with this situation He had considered just leaving her on the bench, however, there were strong rays of sunlight bea dohich would only worsen her condition

(A cold towel should be applied to the skin The subject should be moved into the shade and laid on the side of their head with arms placed underneath The feet need to be raised with a cold object applied to the sole…wait, a like this?)

In that instant, treath his hts were unnecessary

He carried her to the shade, placed a finger on her forehead and proceeded to write so

“Why do I have to do this for her?” (Hiiro)

He let out a sigh as he reation to help her The syed that if she just rested, she would recover without issue

As he let go of her, the girl opened her eyes She trean to write on her plank of paper After she was done, she showed it to Hiiro

[Sorry for causing you trouble Thank you for carrying me all the way here] (Mimiru)

She displayed an apologetic sle tear drop fall from her eyes Hiiro narrowed his eyes He suddenly felt irritated for some reason

(As I thought, this brat’s face is really annoying)

He had discovered the source of his discohout the encounter It was that face filled with a sense of inferiority and pain That smile, it was one that flipped between pain and happiness Hiiro scowled as he noticed that expression plastered on to the face of a child

If its painful then just say it hurts Even if it’s just an expression of agony on your face, its fine Yet, for her to force a smile when exposed to such a situation would only make someone feel irritated

(This brat’s such a…even the Chibi’s more honest than her)

Whether it was good times or bad times, Muir was still honest with herself Actually, she’s trying to be true to herself She has the will to be honest with herself However, the girl before him probably put on that smile so as to not hurt those around her It reeked of deceit, for a child to actthat can be easily accepted

If it was the usual Hiiro, he would have just ignored the girl He would just tell it to her face That hethat chance to leave

However, in this instance, Hiiro felt that he shouldn’t leave the situation in its current state The feeling was the same as when he had approached the [Gree-Caves] If he didn’t face this properly, so unpleasant may happen

He felt that if he didn’t address the issue with the utmost effort, he would stray away frorasp the reason behind his current premonitions

He was just grasping the situation by instinct An i before him He felt that if he made a mistake now, his existence would turn into a lie

(I don’t really have any deep connection with this person, but…)

Hiiro was a hu in this world There was no way that there would be any sort of connection between the him that this was the best choice

Thus, Hiiro approached the girl whose name he did not know

“Oi, what I’ot it?” (Hiiro)

Saying this, Hiiro approached the girl as he concentrated on his fingertip and started writing

(Ku~, as expected, the finger’s barely )

It was even slower coht of stopping, however, he are that if he stopped while trying to write tords, he would receive a harsh <rebound>> effect Thetords, he had no choice but to go through with it

The girl looked at Hiiro with a blank expression wondering what he was doing Hiiro just ignored it and concentrated on writing the word Unlike the [Transparency] word, Hiiro knew that if he lost focus he would definitely fail

(This definitely feels like so that cannot be done without a lot of concentration)

While thinking so, Hiiro focused really hard on er

[Restore]… Hiiro riting a word created to help another person

[Cure] and [Revive] also came to mind, but he felt that the word [Restore] would fit the situation better In reality, the ic Hiiro chose by instinct was very siic Of course, Hiiro was unaware of this

This instinct, in regards to <word ic=””>>, would actually become a very crucial factor in the future

Although this was not the first time Hiiro chose a word by instinct, somewhere inside him, he felt satisfied with his word choice

A brilliant white light appeared, wrapping her body in a pale aura As the light seeped into her body, her sunburnt red skin returned to it’s for had also stopped

Following this, the girl felt that she wasn’t as feeble as before She suddenly shi+fted her gaze towards Hiiro, as arrogantly looking down at her

“Now then Start talking, Ribbon” (Hiiro)
