Chapter 96 She Came Along (2/2)

[Yesh!?]

Indeed, Neun-san kinda looks different from normal.

Or rather, she seems to be in some kind of panic, as she’s even fumbling her words.

Seriously, what’s going on? Could it be that she’s not feeling well or something like that!?

[Neun-san, could it be that you’re sick……]

[Awawa, Kai- Kaito-san, your face is too close…… ex- ex……]

[Ex?]

[Excuse me!!!]

[Ehh? Wait, Neun-san!?]

I got worried and took a step closer, but Neun-san looked even more flustered…… and ran away at a terrific speed.

After Neun-san left, the remaining Raz-san and I tilted our heads at each other.

[……Neun-san, seriously, what’s going on?]

[I dunno, it’s just that I think since we met Kaitokun-san, she would sometimes mutter incomprehensible things like premarital diskashons or weding.]

Weding? A wedding? No, the sudden talk of marriage here doesn’t make sense, so she must have been talking about something else.

Hmmm, I’m worried about her but…… For the time being, I’ll leave her to Raz-san. As I still have to continue giving my greetings to everyone, I exchanged some words with Raz-san before we parted ways.

Away from the noisy yet joyful atmosphere of Rigforeshia, I’m now walking through the Spirits’ Forest by myself.

It seems that the spirits have their own customs, so instead of the large number of spirits approaching me in the daytime, there are only a few spirits around me who would be guiding me around.

When I followed their guidance and walked through the forest, I came upon a shrine…… or rather, a cave.

[This is even more……]

It was a much more difficult place to sleep in that I thought it would be.

Entering inside…… I could see a round hole in the ceiling where moonlight shines through it, creating a fantastic scene, while the spirits are lined up by the wall of this shrine.

It seems like they really have lots of customs, as a large number of spirits are neatly lined up inside the spacious shrine, standing still in a neat row, staring towards me.

Unnn? What am I supposed to do now…… Should I really just go in the middle and sleep there?

Perhaps, this was originally meant to be a way to show the spirits the face of the winner.

I’ve seen Lillywood-san leading a mountain of spirits around, but essentially, being able to see so many spirits should have been a very valuable experience.

After looking at the inside of the shrine under the moonlight while thinking about this, I move my gaze to my feet and let out a sigh.

Yep, putting aside the grandeur scene around me…… As expected, as a modern kid, I’m having a hard time sleeping here.

The floor is made of soil…… Yep, it should have been obvious that I won’t be sleeping in a bed made of sand.

Should I be relieved that it’s not made of something really hard like stone? Or perhaps, should I perhaps, continue thinking how the heck this happened……

[My body would be stiff after sleeping here…… It’s going to be tough even with my blanket……]

[Then, how about we lay down a tatami?]

[Yeah, you’re right, I’d really appreciate it if there’s some tatami…… Eh?]

[Unnn?]

I thought I was just muttering to myself as I slumped my shoulders, but for some reason, I heard a reply.

The spirits can’t speak…… rather than them though, that voice sounded rather familiar. Rather than just familiar though, I think I’ve been hearing that voice almost every day.

[……Why are you here, Kuro?]

[Ehehe, I came along.]

Kuro replies to my words with a bashful smile on her face.

That expression on her face though, seems to shine in the moonlight.

Dear Mom, Dad—— As the winner of the harvest festival, I’ll be spending the night in the Spirits’ Forest. And then, for some reason—– Kuro came along.
