Volume 1 — Different World Life, Start

15 Hinami and Ikuru — 3

I momentarily held my breath and reflexively crouched a little

Is there soerous… up ahead…?

Ikuru stopped me and said, ”It's there”

The things I had seen in forest are 'hard wolves' and chickens and rabbits However, looking at Ikuru's appearance… there's probably a strong monster

”Hinami-sama… there's a 'snow rabbit' Please come here quietly”

”Ahh… No It's a rare and cute rabbit”

W-What did you say…!?

Ikuru's words betrayed ood sense I slowly headed to Ikuru's side Noting that I arrived next to hi between the trees

There was a white rabbit

”Cute…!”

”Is it the first tiion of this continent 'Sariton' It's a rare snow rabbit There's about one account of witnessing it every few years”

My! A rare and cute rabbit!

I slowly and carefully took steps towards the snow rabbit Please, don't run away…!

”It's very fast on its feet so if it sees you it will run away”

”…Not possible”

Rare ones are known to run quickly… or so would be the best action, I wonder I want to touch it, but it can't be helped Since there's no way that I can catch it Ahh… I want to pet it I' up sine it can't be helped, but at the least lets send a passionate gaze to convey hts

I'll pretend I didn't see Ikuru's exasperated expression! Because it was for cuteness! I couldn't help but stare

”I want to catch it for you, but I can't see well… it's not possible for me”

”…Yes Hinami-sama is kind”

”Not really…”

But, yeah

Earning points for God, , that should be fun~!

”……No way!”

”Eh?”

My thoughts were drifting off, but I came back to reality from Ikuru's startled voice

When I wondered what ittowards me!

”Eh!? W-What's going on!? Is it going to attack me!?”

”Y-Yeah!”

When I quickly hid behind Ikuru, the snow rabbit that had been charging slowed down and stopped Instead, it slowly toddled towards and ca

I crouched down a little and reached a hand out to the snow rabbit The size is… fitting perfectly in my hand I was curious about the fur, and up closer it was fluffy and white When I gently touched it, the snow rabbit was cold as its naested A snow rabbit with fur like white, cold and fluffy cotton, or so like that?

”It's cuuuuute~!!”

”A snow rabbit approaching a person… I never heard such a thing”

Ikuru looked somewhat shocked, but his stare was fixed on the snow rabbit I was hugging Fufu, it's a cute snow rabbit-chan after all! Gender doesn't matter to its charm!

Or

”Mm, snow rabbit Want to come… to my house?”

”Ohhh! Then from today snow rabbit-chan is family!”

”No no no… how absurd”

”Hey! Ikuru, do you want to pet it too?”

I'etically to ht, it can only be seen once every few years, but on top of that it's following ood compatibility with this world?

But then I was attacked by hard wolves so maybe not? Well, doesn't matter

”Wah! It really is cold…!”

”Mi~”

Ikuru also touched the snow rabbit gently and was surprised at the coldness Rather, aren't you petting it more affectionately than I did, Ikuru-san?

”Oops, why don't we head home first…”

Maybe because he was e it, he quickly took his hand off and held the h he can pet it ht blush, I felt that it was the human expression he showed compared to his usual lack of expression

”Yeah! Let's get to the forest of the lost first!”

◇ ◇ ◇

”Huh, are we already at the forest of the lost?”

”……Ikuru, you're well informed?”

”Ohh—! That's a!”

For me who lives in the forest of the lost, Ikuru is the best I can ask for!

Around a little less than an hour after we entered the forest… I guess? Aftersome breaks, we safely arrived at the boundary between the 'forest' and the 'forest of the lost'

On the e encountered a few hard wolves but Ikuru defeated the And unfortunately I couldn't find any new herbs

”Now… I don't know the way froh?”

”That's too vague…”

Ikuru sighed but kept walking without any complaints

Then, when Ikuru crossed the boundary and set a foot in the forest of the lost so happened

”Ikuru!?”

”W… What!?”

Ikuru's body was shi+ning bright green

I quickly ran over to hiht

”No… nothing wrong with er feels a little hot”
