Chapter 1, Episode 20: Rules

『I'll eat it later! ! ! 』

Libelle said this and happily dug into the earth to bury the enemies she had defeated.
She said they can be preserved by burying them in the ground.

Before that. Libelle, Cyril and I caught the people who had invaded the forest to kill Farne-sama.
I used the Saint's power that Cyril had taught me to restrain all the people who came to kill us to a tree so that they couldn't move.
Cyril complimented me on my much better use of power.

Yeah. I tried my best. I'm glad I got that compliment.
Cyril scolded me, saying I shouldn't eat people.
When Farne-sama wakes up, she said, he's going to hate me.
That's why I don't eat humans.

I don't want Farne-sama to hate me.

There is a rule that says humans are not allowed to kill each other.

But I don't understand it.
Why did they come to kill Farne-sama when there is such a rule? I asked Cyril, "What do you mean?" and she just slurred her words, saying that there were many circumstances.

Normally, you can't kill them. I was told that surely Farne-sama couldn't kill people either.

When I heard that, I thought to myself.

Farne-sama cannot kill people.
But I'm okay.
Because I know.

If I don't kill them, they will do something painful to me.

Once I tried to escape from that mean cousin.
At that time, I bit my cousin and tried to escape from the entrance, but she was crying in pain and I tried to stop the blood, but my aunt who came later hit me very hard.

Then I couldn't escape.

If only I had ignored the word "it hurts" at the time, it wouldn't have happened like that.
I know that people who do painful things to me have to be taken down.
Otherwise, they will do more and more painful things to me.
I won't let Farne-sama get hurt again.

If Farne-sama can't do it, I have to do it! !

When I told Cyril that, she said.

『………That's one way to think about it.
I won't say anything else, but you shouldn't tell the priest that you killed someone.
You don't want people to hate you, do you? 』

I was told.
Mm-hmm. I don't want Farne-sama to hate me.
I'm never going to tell him!

I answered and Cyril sighed heavily.

I wonder why?

Many days have passed since then.
Farne-sama had not yet awakened.
I returned to the sleeping place Libelle had prepared and sat down next to Farne-sama.

"Fuarne-shama."

I tried to say the words I practiced so hard to be able to speak.
My words are still not well-spoken.
I'm getting better at saying "Farne-sama".
Farne-sama within the light was sleeping comfortably. He hasn't woken up yet.

I can't wait to see you.
I want to hear your voice.
I want you to read me a book.

I defeated the bad people who came to kill Farne-sama.
I didn't know who was giving the orders again, though, and I didn't know who was trying to kill Farne-sama.
But it's okay. I will defeat everyone who hurts Farne-sama so that he will not be killed.

So wake up quickly.
I want to see you. Farne-sama.
I miss you. Farne-sama.

Next day.
I decided to fill Farne-sama's bed with flowers.
Cyril went away somewhere after getting my food, and Libelle said she was going hunting today.
I was also invited to join. Well, I wanted to be with Farne-sama today.

I'm also not alone because of the spirits of the trees.
Everyone helped me grab flowers.
Farne-sama is with us today.
I had Dai carry him.

I decorated Farne-sama's bed with beautiful flowers and prayed for him to wake up soon.
I've grown a lot taller since Farne-sama went to sleep.
My clothes have gotten a little small.
Will he buy me new clothes?

Cyril said it might be a little longer before he wakes up because his soul hasn't settled in properly.
She said that if you force him to wake up, he will die.
Farne-sama. How do I get you to wake up sooner?
Farne-sama's holy tree seeds sprouted, too.
They became spirits at once, though.

Would Farne-sama be pleased?

Dai, Remu and Koron are waiting for Farne-sama to wake up too.
I remember when Dai, Remu and Koron were seeds.
Farne-sama said he loved them.
Everyone is waiting for Farne-sama to wake up.

So wake up soon, please, Farne-sama.
