On the Road (1)

The three of us set off on a journey—Sharin to reclaim her home, and Arisugawa to find a way to return to his original world.

Piyo ended up following me.

"By the way, where are you heading now?"

"For now, I think we should go back to where we came from. If we go there, we might find some clues about what's going on."

Sharin talked to me while showing me a map. However, since I wasn't familiar with the area, I had no idea, so I just nodded.

"By the way, the atmosphere is different from when we first met. It seems like you're having fun, aren't you?"

Sharin's face turned red as she remembered the first time we met.

"Shut up! Forget it, I was just trying to be nice."

It seems like this has become a dark story for Sharin.

After that, the three of us continued walking through the forest, intermittently chatting about various topics.

"Let's rest here for today. I'll keep watch."

I'm already exhausted from walking all day, and the lack of exercise is having a noticeable effect. Piyo, who was full of energy at the start of the trip, was now tired and breathing heavily.

"It's my fault. I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, I'm strong at night."

I fell asleep thinking, "No wonder she has cat blood."
