65 [56] Homecoming, and ....txt (2/2)

Hm. You're with me.

When I looked in the direction that Huemil was pointing, Hinori and Radia were just about to walk in.

'Oh, there you are. Welcome back, Virum. Koo-chan, Mel-chan, and Mio-chan, you've come a long way.''

It's been a while. It's been a long time since Hinori and Fu told me about them, but I have to say, they've gotten even better. I'm glad to see that Meldina and Cunaria have grown up a lot.

''It's been a while. Thank you for inviting me to your home again, Spirit-sama.

'Oh, it's been a while. Well, um... it's nice to meet you today!

While Hinori and Radia talked to each other comfortably, Meldina and Cunaria could see the tension in the two of them.

While Hinori and Hinori were quite comfortable in the outside world, as for Radia, she must be feeling some pressure due to her tall stature and the fact that they hadn't had a relationship since she left the village.

''Hm. By the way, where's Heishela?''

Fumir, who was being carried on his back by Wyrm, scurried around looking for the figure of his military family members who were supposed to be here but were not seen.

''Fu-sama, I'm here Yo.''

Heishela, who had been quiet in Wyrm's bosom, peeked out and looked up at Foumil, who had his head on her shoulder.

At the sound of her voice, Foumil, whose eyes met with High Sheera's, after a moment of silence, began to tremble a little.

''Becoming small, crawling into brother Vee's bosom, you say...? 'High Sierra... are you a genius?'

As Huemil turned his astonished gaze to Heishela, Hinori and Radia who noticed it also approached.

''Ho? This little thing is the flying dragon that made Fu get serious?

”Oh, my, you're getting so small...

”Quit

As Hinori and the others stroked their fingers around, High Sierra twisted her body ticklishly.

The time passed in harmony, and when it was time to enter the village....

!

Suddenly sensing a sign of something, Virum gave himself a physical enhancement and kicked the earth towards a large tree that was just far enough away to be in sight.

''Shhhhhh!

In an instant, he went around the back side of the large tree and at the same time released a kick with all his might.

However, the kick didn't catch anything in particular and was stopped in a position where it may or may not touch the surface of the large tree.

(No one? I had the feeling that I was being watched by something different from the forest demons... I haven't been back in a while, so my nerves are on edge...)

For a few moments, Virum carefully surveyed his surroundings, but the forest was just the same as usual.

It's been a while since Virum and the others let down their guard and entered the village.

A shake occurs in space at the root of a large tree where Virum sensed some kind of presence.

The ones who emerged from the shaking were Julius, a young man with black eyes and black hair, who wore a hood that was torn in places and was deep in his eyes, and Yomi, a girl with wavy, almost black purple hair that was pulled into twin tails.

''Oh, I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to notice me from that distance.

”...you're so cold. I'm sorry, okay? Yuri

'Don't worry about it. They didn't find out in the end, and it was a thrill and a lot of fun.

Julius comforts Yomi with a gentle pat on the head of the dejected Yomi.

I wonder if he understood from the touch that Julius meant what he said, and Yomi accepts it with a relieved expression.

''But I didn't know that the Demon Fog Forest had a home for spirits. This is going to be a fun thing to do again~''

Julius began to walk in the other direction from which the Wyrms had come, his shoulders shaking and laughing quietly and happily....
