Volume 1, 4-6: Family

He was unsure if this should be unexpected or natural, but the first one who noticed Fin’s change was Fauna Fin left theto the Coe, but he had noticed Fauna gathering the children ere playing outside

“Aunt”

Fin called out to her with the word spilling out froh he was filled with regret at not calling the them like he usually did

However, Fauna wasn’t supposed to be aware that Fin had ed his blood-soaked, torn clothes in the barracks, and there wasn’t a single scratch on his whole body, whether it could be seen or not

In spite of all of this, Fauna asked in a worriedhappen, Fin?”

As this was an unexpected response, Fin winced As well as realizing that he hadn’t prepared hi’…What do you ed the question with his vague response, but this inadvertently made him more suspicious Fauna’s facial expression had coed into one of puzzle the children indoors, she i did happen Is it so reserved, I ask that you stop it, Fin You may not realize this yourself, but coive off is coazed up at the sky and agreed, “Probably” It was only a o when they had beco or injured, he would pretend to be composed, but she could always sense the truth There was no way Fin could escape her sharp, observing eyes Being at the brink of death was plenty serious of a concern to be had

Unsure of how and fro, Fin decided to postpone answering the question in the meantime

“I’ll talk about it after I come back”

At any rate, he didn’t know if he could be heard by someone here He wondered if a better method would be to return to his rooather everyone together first But if he were to only do that, how could he deal with relaying the news to Max…

Then, as if so, Max and Nellis just arrived and crossed the garden They had been getting quite along like actual siblings A se sensation caused hi ain and rubbed his eyes, the ination, but it was Nellis who stared in wonder Bro, what is that!”

She had said in such a hysteric voice that Fin reflexively looked behind him in surprise There was only the equally spooked Fauna there Anything that would warrant a scream like that couldn’t be found Max also had a look of utter confusion as he restlessly looked back and forth between Nellis and Fin

Seeing everyone else’s reaction, Nellis realized that she had done it In a panic, she covered her ures of several children and temple slaves, but they were all far away And even the people who did stop to wonder what caused Nellis’ screa over

Nellis breathed a sigh of relief and ran up to Fin She suddenly grabbed her older brother’s tunic and pulled it up

“Uwa!? Nellis, hey! What are you doing?”

Fin panicked While Max and Fauna stared in bewilder, hard look at Fin’s naked chest and shook her head in disbelief, re her hands

Exactly ould people think if they saw such a scene? Fin had becolected the confused Max and Fauna and looked at Fin straight in the face

“So Bro, you don’t realize what has happened to yourself”

“I know that ru out a tired sigh, he beckoned to Max and whispered in a low voice There was no other way he was going to give him the news

“Don’t tell anyone But, I think I’ve foron”

“—Eh?”

Max questioned with a blank look He couldn’t fully understand the fairy-tale plot line that caed his shoulders and lowered his voice one octave

“I’h, if word of this gets out, I have no idea what Coius will do So, keep this a secret for me, okay?”

“……”

Max’s jaw had looked like it would fall off at any moment, but he quickly shut his e face after that and looked at Fauna and Nellis

“Guess the Missus and the others get to listen to the full details of this world-breaking story Lucky”

He played it off with a joking tone, but his eyes were filled with sincere understanding

What a trustworthy kid Fin felt a bittersweet feeling and turned to Fauna

“Can Max stay at our place tonight?”

“Of course he’s welcome”

Fauna immediately replied, s, “It’s a bit cramped and there isn’t a satisfactory bed, but since you’re young, it should be fine”
