”Uncle. Who?”

”Uncle, what is that?

”Uncle, run faster!

”Uncle. Are you kidding me?”

”Uncle -”

I've never taken care of a kid. I couldn't help but bother. I'll tell him I'm tired right away and I'll sit back and say it hurts a little bit or something. It was helpful not to cry in front of me, but I had some trouble being strangely nostalgic.

What's this all about? Well, I'm pretty sure you treated me well. I forgot about Murreria, and it's part of the request to carry the kid safely.

But where in me is the element of nostalgia? Is this kid crazy, too?

Still, we managed to continue our journey and take them to the orphanage in Barbora...... No way, if you didn't want to break up with me, I didn't think you'd wake me up. I don't know what that means.

But what doesn't make more sense is me taking such Romeo over. What are you doing? Are you nuts?

But I couldn't really leave Romeo. I have myself laughing bitterly when I see a kid laugh.

That's when I remember, for some reason, Murreria. And just before that, we killed each other, it was Baba the Black Cat Clan.

Those two eyes. It shouldn't look anything like it, but Baba's eyes coming at me and Murreria's eyes asking for Romeo disappear when they float behind her brain. Um, desperate, yet clear watery eyes.

I don't know why.

”Uncle. What's the matter with you?

”Nothing. Go to sleep now.”

”Yeah......”

Why should I be in a hurry when I see Romeo fall asleep with a fever? I got my eye on that monstrous high elf. If you leave your luggage Romeo and run, I might be able to get away with it.

But I couldn't do that. Really.

What the hell happened to me?

How come you're swinging all the way here to one kid?

”Ugghhhhhhhh?

For a moment, he said his consciousness was flying. I think I remember the old days, but I don't remember them very well. Was that the one with the running lights?

Now, Sierra - they say Romeo is growing up. Hard to believe, but the signs looked just like Romeo's. We have to protect that Sierra.

Romeo's special abilities can affect and control evil people...

”It doesn't matter...!

That's why I care about Romeo, I can tell you as much as I want. But I don't care about everything.

Now I'm just protecting Sierra. There is power to protect, everything else was trivial.

”Ohhhhh! I'm not dead yet! Come more! hahhhhhhhhhhhh!

”Hey, hey, hey, hey!
