Sometimes Mr. Rickbelt stuffed me, but I decided to go back to the woods because I handed over the catchers safely.\n
I was worried about Mr. Borolda and the others, but they convinced me when I answered that it was okay because Ciel was here.
Reminds me of the mark on Cielās forehead as I return to the forest.
I couldnāt take a closer look at it then, but it looked very much like Soraās mark.
Confirm the signs around you, then get Sola out of the bag and see the marks.
āHmm, looks the sameā¦ā
But Tame should never have been able to do it because of magic.
Even the name, I just gave it to youā¦
But thereās a mark.
I wonder whatās going on?
Do you know what it is if you meet Ciel?
Walking towards the back of the woods, I felt signs of Ciel in the wind.
Probably nearby.
Look around and aim for a place full of thick trees that hide what Ciel looks like.
Apparently Adandala is a rare demon, so it could be a commotion if seen.
I have trouble getting crusaded by mistake.
We have to be careful.
After a short walk and stopping, a ton and Ciel descended from the tree.
āThank you so much for earlier. Iām sorry I havenāt been here to see you in forever.ā
Grumpy, grumpy.
Ring your throat, shake your tail and rinse it on your head.
I stroke my neck slowly.
Sola is also bumping into Piompion and Ciel.
⦠Iām bouncing back and rolling, but I guess I donāt have a problem with Sora because she looks like sheās having fun.
āThatās right. Ciel, can I see your forehead mark?
To my words, you hold still the face that was slipping in my direction.
āThanksā
Iāll touch the little mark on Cielās forehead.
The uneven feel of the mark slightly at your fingertips.
It sure looks the same as Sola, for sure.
But this isnāt connected to me.
When you touch Solaās mark, you feel connected somehow.\n
But I donāt feel anything when I touch Cielās mark.
āCiel, Iām not tayming, am I? Whatās this mark?
Ask Ciel.
Then Ciel tilted her neck and her forehead glowed a little after a while.
āWhat⦠gone!
In front of me, the mark disappeared from my forehead.
Thereās nothing touching my forehead.
Whatās going on?
Leaning his neck, the mark appeared again slightly glowing.
When gently touched, the presence of the mark felt in the hand.
āNo way. Is this mark made by Ciel?
Look into Cielās eyes and ask.
Ringing gleefully and staring at me, Ciel.
You look like youāre saying that your eyes are right.
The mark of Tame is the thing in which the form of magic of the Lord appeared, not the thing made.
The forms of magic are different from each other, and no one is in the same shape.
Itās another thing that shows up naturally, so if itās a fake thing, it can be quickly dismissed⦠and it was in the book.
Was that information a mistake?
Or is Ciel the only one special?
Either way, whatās in the book is commonly known, so itās going to be a big deal.
Marks, maybe you shouldnāt see much.
But if thereās a mark when they see you, youāre off the crusade.
āUh-huh. Itās a difficult problem.ā
Besides, I canāt seem to get to town with you.
Mr. Borolda told me.
Adandala is rare enough to be among the top 10 among demons and is known to be strong again.
For that reason, he said that if we take him to town, the town would be confused, so we should stop taking him.
I studied being strong and rare, but didnāt know it was such a superior demon.
āCiel, he said we could travel together, but we shouldnāt go to town. Iām sorry.ā
Ciel, who is grunting, doesnāt seem to care much.
And the mark, what am I going to do?
Shall we talk about it? \nIf it was Mr. Ratlua and Mr. Sifal, Iād feel fine.
Ugh, I didnāt have a problem with Sola, but what about Ciel?
You reassured me because youāre taming me, didnāt you?
What if I find out you didnāt?
Are you going to be crusaded or something?
⦠What shall I do?
āI donāt know what to doā
Itās warm when you hold it in your arms.
Sora jumps to momentum and rides Cielās back.
⦠Thatās an awesome jump power.
Soon, Sora got stronger, didnāt she?
I need to be strong, too.
For starters, letās try to believe someone that I want to believe in.
āIām sure youāll be fine.ā
Grrrrrr.
āPuppy, puppy.ā
Heh heh, I knew Solaās squealing was out of strength ~.
Yeah, thatās right.
Believe me, itās the people who protected Sora and me.
āOkay, if you decide so. Oh, I thought you said youād be late from today.ā
There seems to be a lot of trouble with the organization.
They say the paperwork lists the names of the nobles of the surrounding villages and towns, not just this town.
I am in contact with each vigilante and guild for that matter, but as someone who has been informed, you think it is causing a lot of confusion due to a sudden story?
I was surprised that Mr. Borolda and the others were doing this so extensively.
Apparently, the people who caught him again began to rub their sins together after a day.
With that shame, sin, not yet known, is unleashed.
This is Mr. Sifal guiding him pretty cleverly, and heās letting him spit it out.
Thatās Mr. Schiffer.
ā⦠I guess Iāll have something delicious for dinner so I can come home whenever I want. If itās a simmering dish, itāll taste even better by warming it up again.ā
Iāll do what I can.
Later, yes. Letās hunt.
\n⦠wooden skin?
Ask someone how to make it before we try.
After ~⦠k (ā¦) a (ā¦) a (ā¦)⦠hmm?
To the feeling of being pulled, look behind.
Ciel is wearing clothes.
āWhatās going on? Your clothes will grow.ā
Let go of your clothes, Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ciel.
With that said, you rang with this voice earlier.
Thatās when I told you to go to the dump.
Ciel doesnāt like dumps?
āYou donāt like dumps? But youāve never had that vibe before.ā
Iāve been to dumps that were in the woods with them.
I didnāt show you how to dislike it then.
Mm-hmm⦠ah.
āCould it be a hunt?
Grrrrrr.
Grrrrrr.
Does this mean Iāll take care of the hunt?
Sure, I havenāt had a problem with meat since Ciel started taking part in the journey.
Iāve had too many problems.
He must have come back from somewhere on the road with his prey.
It will be a surer achievement than my hunt.
But if you do that, it wonāt do it for me, will it?
Hunting is great for studying demons and animals.
He has also studied exploring what is going on in the woods.
āYou know what, Ciel? The hunt is also for my study. So from now on we need to huntā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ letās work togetherā
āNya-yay.ā
Ciel sings with joy at my words.
Good.
I canāt believe I just tried to turn down the hunt and get those lonely eyes.
If I could stare at you like that, I wouldnāt be able to say āI donāt need itā.
