Chapter 43: Decision

I didn't really understand anything of what was happening, but that's why I could take advantage of the situation, maybe it's something that only happens once in my life, the opportunity to see something that should be forbidden to my eyes... That temptation of wanting to give a glimpse of what I will be as an adult, I don't know how you see it, but at some point in our lives we think that being an adult is one of the best things that can happen in our lives, I mean... we idealise how we would act more specifically because we already have total freedom over ourselves, what before we were restricted for being small, for being children who should stay in their childish space. But when you grow up you have the right to be able to see, do and even say many things that you couldn't before and... I'm not going to lie, the temptation to break a law and that nobody notices, that nobody finds out, that just because you are someone small would be... "A little childish mischief...". We don't understand these things... But I tell you something? Nowadays it is not like that, small children already understand many things of adults at their small age, they already know how to swear, they understand many words, their meanings and they use them consciously, as well as many thoughts that they want to realise...I am not interested in alcohol and I doubt very much that when I grow up I will be interested in it, swearing...that is something that has been evolving and growing on my part...But this of leaving being a child as many say...your first time...seeing something forbidden...I am not going to lie, I already knew about it from a very young age and I even looked for it myself at one point in my life, and the truth despite knowing that it was very wrong...I ended up doing it and.... Now the same thing is happening, I have a totally unprotected girl sleeping next to me, I don't know how it came to this, but I want to take advantage of the situation, I can make many excuses that come to my mind, I am still a child and I can use that to my advantage...I don't intend to do anything wrong, I don't... I don't want to do anything wrong...I just want to look, look closely, it's wrong to look, it's forbidden but...there's a part of me that tells me not to look away for anything in the world...That which is tempting me and is within my reach, that which just hides and provokes something in me, that's...provocation...I...I...I...I...

『(I want to watch!!!!)』

.......--------------........

And when I least realized, for some reason I could not see anything, everything was completely dark as if someone was preventing me, it was weird that moment...I could feel that someone was covering my eyes with his hands, but when I tried to take it off, I could not feel those hands...only my eyes that could not see anything. Although I complained thinking that there was someone there, I was quite sure, I got angry because I was disturbed in a great opportunity that when I finally managed to visualize perfectly, there was my friend...the same boy that appeared to me the last time the night before, there he was standing in the middle of the room looking at me with the good eyes of a good friend. But I also felt something strange about him now that I see him well, he's a bit transparent? no...I wouldn't know how to say it, like he's not completely present in this world, I feel that if I try to shake his hand or hug him, I would go through him as if he was a ghost. I also feel the same as last night, only I can see him? No one else can perceive it? Is it all in my head? Am I imagining it? Why does it appear just now when I was having doubts or problems inside me?

『Hello Ya-kun *smiles*』

He greets me like it's just another normal day...the fact that he looks so relaxed yet confused at the moment, I'm not going to deny it, gave me a bit of reassurance that everything is going to get better from now on. I don't know what he's doing here, I have thousands of questions right now and I'd like him to answer them right now, but...if it's going to be like this from now on, having a friend to accompany me everywhere on this adventure is really something I'd appreciate....

『Ri------』

But before I could even say anything, in the room we could tell that I wasn't the only one who woke up from all this, the girl lying next to me was slowly starting to stir and wake up. At this my gaze was quickly directed towards her and especially to the area of her chest, but...quickly again I was being covered my eyes so that I could not see anything, it was my friend who was doing it again, it was a bit weird, I was moving as if I wanted to free myself, while only I could hear my friend's laughter that told me.

『You're still too young to see these things Ya-kun』

It's not that my friend is older than me, literally out of the 3 of us, Menhera, Ya------- and Rino, in that same order we know perfectly well who is the oldest, Menhera being the oldest of the 3 of us, and Rino being our youngest. Besides we were born on consecutive days, if I'm 15 right now, then so is Rino, you're still a little kid too, so don't give me that I can't see these things.

『Then you shouldn't be able to see it either!!!! Let go of me!!!』

『I'm not seeing anything, just like I'm not the one covering your eyes either *smiles*』

『¿? Eh? What a thing to say, I don't understand, so who's covering my eyes?』

『I'm *happy*』

『..... No sooner do you show up than you're confusing me』.

But anyway I was still trying to free myself from whatever was covering my eyes, again I was trying to free myself from Rhino's grip, but I could quickly notice that the only thing I could touch was my closed eyes, it was too weird, I could perfectly feel Rhino's touch, just like how he was exerting a bit of force so I can't see anything, he said he is not the one covering my eyes, but then he tells me that it is him...I had forgotten how Rhino was when it comes to him....

『Husband...did your voice change? You sound more childish *happy* *dream* Besides who are you talking to? Are you talking to me? *dream*』

『Eh? (Looks like she's still not fully awake...this chick is too absent-minded...)』

『What can't you see? What do you want to see? Ah!!! I know, you can also touch it if you want *smile* *dream*』

Eh?...At this I didn't understand what was going on with this girl, but one thing became clear to me, I guess she thinks I'm someone else that...now that I think about it what kind of relationship does she have with this girl, is it normal for them to sleep together? Although if they are a couple it might make sense and they do a lot more private things and.....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At that moment I could feel that warm feathers came to wrap me, really when I realized what was happening, I couldn't believe it, this girl with her wings came to embrace me and want to get attached to me as much as possible...I really want to tell you that you are confusing person, by now anyone else would realize the mistake but!!!!!

『(Ahhh!!!! This chick is too dumb!!!!)』

I can make another excuse, can't I? It's not me who's causing this, it's the blue-haired girl who's doing all this, I'm just getting carried away for the moment!!!! Can I do something? Of course I can do something, I can make it clear to her that she's confused, that I'm not who she thinks I am, I can even step aside and oppose but...Again I wasn't going to take any of those options, I'm just going to let the moment happen because... "That's what I want."

『?...Husband? What's wrong? You don't want to get attached?....*dream*』

From what the girl was wanting to hug me and I was going to clearly feel her chest... At that moment something was happening that I couldn't even explain it myself. With my hand I grabbed her shoulder and managed to stop her from hugging me. We didn't get together for a little while and...this clearly confused the girl who didn't understand what was going on, while I...I was totally speechless at that moment and dying of shame, I had my eyes lowered so I couldn't see anything, I felt that if I did something in me I might regret it. But we weren't the only ones who were there, Rino was in the same place, as if moving his hand away from my arm while performing the act, at this quickly totally embarrassed like a tomato, I carefully turned to my friend who...I was pretty sure that he was the one who made me stop hugging this girl, when he looked at me regretting my act, Rino was with a smile saying.

『I didn't do anything Ya-kun 』

Another answer that left me confused because...then who is the person who is making me do things that I really don't want to...I gave a sigh to try to calm down, it was weird...everything was calming down, what was abounding were the shyness nerves at that moment. I looked at Rhino again and he was subtly telling me that...

『Continue, do what you have to do my friend 』

...But...but...like continue? continue with what? Weren't you the one who was against him not discovering this side of being an adult? now you're telling me to continue? really? It really confuses me a lot Rino, maybe it's because of the time we don't see each other and that confuses me more to be able to talk to him again, besides he looks much more grown up than the last time, I guess this is his young version? just like me? yes you look a change but anyway you still keep what you are, my friend.

I closed my eyes so I couldn't see anything in front of me, and as my hand was already on the girl's shoulder, I could carefully go down her arm and take the bow of her upper garment, and without feeling anything, not even provocation, I put it back in place, and when I opened my eyes again, the interest of seeing her chest was gone, it was like that ....

『(Ahh...I lost the moment...but well, I guess this is ok)』

I really felt somewhat dissatisfied with the result, I again turned to look at Rino who was smiling at me as if I had done the right thing in this situation, to this seeing his warm presence, that way of expressing to me that I did well, made me change my dissatisfied expression to a much more cheerful one, like in the end this was the right thing to do at least morally.

『Eh?...You are not my Husband...who are you?...』

It seems that the girl in blue has finally woken up... now that I look at it more closely without thinking anything else... This girl is a species, isn't she? Her arms are also blue wings, just like her legs are bird-like, I feel like she could easily grab me with them and make me fly like a small animal...

『A harpy...ahh....!!!!...My name is M, and...ahh....*nervous* I don't really know what I'm doing here...this is your home right? ahh...thank you for letting me spend the night here...I don't really remember how I got here but...I really appreciate your kindness, thank you very much...』

At that moment, being a stranger, I really got a little nervous about conversing with someone new. For me that's all I know, I guess she was the one who helped me and this is her home, the only thing I know is that this girl is the one who helped me and it's clear that she accompanied me all night and...how to say it...it's really a bit embarrassing all this...I was trying to look away, when I wanted to look at Rino, I realised that he was gone, I tried to look for him with my eyes but he was nowhere...really when I want your support now you're gone?....

『*smiles* My name is Papi and I'm a harpy, I don't know why you're here either but there must be a very good reason *smiles* I don't sense anything wrong with you and...I feel like you could have done a lot of things but you didn't, you even helped me get dressed *smiles* in that sense you're a lot like my Husband, nice to meet you M, as long as you're here nothing bad will happen to you, this can be your home *smiles*』

What...huh?...He won't get mad? huh?...wait am I getting this right? She won't get upset because there's a stranger with her, she won't get angry and try to hit me? Hey...I might be a thief or even a pervert who entered this home to do bad things...I might have taken advantage of you...why don't you see me as a bad person...instead you are giving me your support by saying that this can be my home...why are you labeling me as a good person without even knowing me...I...I...I....

『Ahh...*cry*...Why...Why...*cry* Why are you treating me like this...*cry* I don't understand...』

I really couldn't cope with all this, it wasn't normal for me, why is all this happening to me, why don't you look at me in a bad way or indifferent to my situation, why do you offer help and compassion to a stranger like me...you have every right to be angry with me but...instead you smile at me to calm me down and...At that moment I started crying trying to hide my face...and...

『Are you stupid or what?...*cry* Why are you acting this way...something wrong with you, it's not normal...you must be mad at me, I would do the same...why don't you say anything to me...*cry*』

To this I ended up saying what I was thinking at that moment, while trying to hide my face with my hands, really that's the first impression this girl gave me, she's careless, she's trusting, she's silly, very stupid I could even say, if I tell thousands of lies I feel like she would end up believing everything...there really can't be such stupid people in the world.....

『*laughs* Yes, they call me dumb a lot of times, I'm not very smart like others, but one person told me that it's not bad, that it's okay to be the way I am, a good-for-nothing fool, above all...a very good fool *smiles*』

To this listening to her answer...I really felt that she wasn't lying to me at all...how to say it, she really was herself and even what she said has some stupidity that...it makes me too tender and above all good...It's that simple for such people like Papi, they would lend a hand to who needs help.

『A very good fool *smiles* If it makes any sense at all *laughs* 』

I'm not going to give it any more thought, I think it all worked out with this, and thank you really, I thought it was all going to get out of hand and tense the whole time. If I remember a little before I fainted, I see that in the end everything ended well, I hope that the pale girl is also well. But also something else strikes me, this girl referred to someone as "Husband", didn't she? Then that must be her partner...of course!!!! So if they are a couple it's normal that they sleep together, that they have these intimate moments and....AHHH!!!!!!! Don't fuck your fucking mother!!!! You're telling me he married this Harpy that...now that I look at it, it has everything I like visually, the wings and bird legs, I keep feeling like that gives it the edge...you know what that means?

『(So in this world if you can form a relationship with many species!!!!! You can become their partner, then their marriage and even make the !!!!!!! God!!!!! I am in the best world where I could have fallen, even her mate of said Harpy human is a loli, a legal loli!!!!! But what luck!!!! I wish I could get my hands on something like that too, now if only I'd think long and hard about staying here for a while...*serious*)』

I'm not going to lie, out of nowhere this came to my mind, just look at it, I think it's every introvert, pervert and weird tastes dream to be here and have such an opportunity in life!!!! Because even if we deny it, many of us would prefer something out of the ordinary to being in something everyday. I'm not going to lie, at this stage of my life I'm going more that way.

Psdt: Really the coexistence of an important age in the growth of M, if it affected him a lot in his way of thinking, this taste for something out of the ordinary will be very present, also the fact that he expresses himself more on the subject of daring, is due more than anything to the spell and incantation that he received on his 14th birthday, you remember right? It seems that they were true after all?

While M was thinking about how his love life in this world could turn out to be, this guy really had a thousand options and all he could think of was...But when his head cooled down as he thought better of it, he happened to look at Papi who was getting up from the bed, and couldn't help but think that despite all the visuals he saw, on the inside this girl's form really was....

『*sigh* (Ahh...I see there's no chance...)』

At that moment leaving everything bad...I really happened to look at Papi a bit...I was really getting embarrassed at that moment, it was a feeling I haven't felt before, I feel something in me, it was weird...I wanted to but at the same time I didn't...it was a deep heat and it was hard for me to talk to her a bit, to even look at her...if she stares at me again...I feel like I would be uncomfortable looking away...but I really wish I could manage to look at her a bit more...Eh?....

『Wait...this is new...this feeling...is it...*embarrassed*』

At that moment Papi finished doing what he was doing and...so I spoke ashamedly she happened to look at me and...as I said that happened, I happened to look away totally red at that moment, but wanting to look at her at the same time...eh?...why are you staring at me...you're making me nervous...eh...eh...eh...this is weird...very weird...it's even stronger than when I was with Menhera eh...eh?...eh?.....

『Your...Your...』

『 (*'-｀*)』

『Who are you? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *altered*』

『EHHHHHHH?????!!!!!!!!!!!⁀⊙﹏☉⁀』

『What are you doing in our house!!!! What are you doing in my Husband's room?!?!!!!! Eh?????!!!! You didn't do something bad to me did you?????!!!!! Where's the!!!!!!!』

『Hey!!!! Calm down Papi!!! I'm M!!!! We just spoke a little while ago!!!! You don't have to alte-----------』

『How do you know my name???? !!!!!! *surprised* I see, you're one of those bad guys who take species to sell them!!!! You infiltrated the night and !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got rid of my Husband???? What you did to my husband!!!!!! I won't forgive you!!!! Give it back to me!!!!!!!!!!』

At that moment I really couldn't understand anything at all, why is he acting as if he had forgotten everything from before? Seriously, why is he like this? !!!!! Is your memory short or what??!!!! Even though I tried to reassure her that he wasn't a bad guy, Daddy didn't care and stuck with what she thought she knew. I happened to fly with her wings in the room we were in, to this I knew something bad was going to happen and....

『Hey calm down!!!! I'm not going to do anything bad!!!! You know!!! I can even go away now』

『You're not leaving here...this house is going to be your grave!!!! Give me back my Husband』

At this thing that was flying, it quickly moved on to attacking me with its huge claws and...PPOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!! To this of what was on the bed, quickly before the blow of Papi, it ended up destroying itself and all the stuffing of the mattress and the pillows came out. I was able to barely dodge it with my reflexes, I was lying on the floor while trying to calm Papi down. ....

『Hey, it's not what you think!!! You really forgot all about------A mommy!!!! You skinned the bed like it was nothing!!!!! That's what you're gonna do to me too?.....*scared*』

『We harpies can easily pierce the flesh of our prey...although we no longer hunt like our ancestors, our instinct is still present!!!!!』

I was really crying again, but this time from fear, while Papi really looked like a monster at that moment, just the thought of his claws digging into me...ahhhh!!!!!!! I was quickly running all over the room trying to escape, but Papi was really too fast and agile, the fact that she has a small body I understand that gives Harpies an incredible agility and speed. I was trying to dodge her attacks any way I could, that many times I wouldn't have counted her, if it wasn't for the training I received before, I would have died quickly...

『(I'm getting tired already...I really didn't last at all...I switched to my God Form but...I feel like it wouldn't be the right thing to do....)』

Defending myself would be easy but...I feel it would cause more trouble and...at that very moment I tried to go to the door since I was close, jumping out of the window I don't think...we are on the first floor and I'm sure I'd mess everything up... But just when I thought I could escape, Papi quickly gave a strong flap with his wings that provoked a strong gust that ended up smashing me against the wall... It wasn't as strong as Rouge's, but it was strong enough to weaken me in my Base Form. At this, Papi quickly prepared for the final attack that...

『Give me back my husband !!!!!!』

『I don't even know that wey!!!!!!!!!』

At that moment I would have no choice, 1 of 2, either try to dodge with my skills at this very moment I don't think...or move on to my God Form that...time was running out, if I don't do something now I....PPOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At that moment the same wall finished destroying itself right behind me. I really didn't even have any words to say at that moment, all I could see was....

『Ya calm down Papi!!!! Or do you really want to kill him?』

『I just want my husband back, !!!!』

『Then you don't have to kill him!!!! Stupid Harpy!!!!』

POOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! At that moment I was a bit confused, you can tell my body was gushing energy, I was going to switch to my God Form so I could get out of this, good thing I waited a bit, since that girl...eh?...a horse?...No!!!!!!!! It's a Centaur!!! A Centaur girl just protected me!!!!!!! That Centaur girl is called Sentorea Shianus, but mostly they call her Centorea or Cerea, she has blonde hair and she looked with a lot of physical strength, with her sword she could withstand the impact of Papi's paws, besides that there is another feature very striking for any other man in Centorea...and that would be her breasts....

『(They're too big....)*looks away*』

But at that I was seeing something I never thought I'd see, I'm literally seeing a Harpy and a Centaur fight evenly matched that...quickly Papi made use of his speed to distract Centorea, who the blonde was passing to look at M saying....

『With him being the child...』

He tried to go to protect M, but in terms of speed he could tell that Daddy was much faster, to this M had no time to react, where quickly Papi was going to attack him with his huge claws that... He could quickly feel something bad happening, out of nowhere he ended up running into a spider web trap that fell easily. This gave M time to avoid being attacked, but quickly M was also trapped by spider webs and dragged to safety. Daddy, seeing that M was being taken away, quickly had to follow him in order to get his husband back, he went on to free himself from the spider webs with his claws but...!!!!!

『Ya calm down Papi, just look at the mess you made in my Honey's room』.

The harpy was caught in the grip of a snake, now even if she tried to free herself, she couldn't because of the snake's strength. The one that just appeared was Mia, who was a Lamia, it was easy to distinguish her by the reddish colour of her scales and hair. Who, seeing that Papi still wanted to fight, Mia ended up sticking to her companion and seemed to have called out to her...

『You look like an upset chicken Papi, if you don't calm down now, we can call Suu so that...』

『!!!!!!! Alright...I'll calm down...I don't think this is the time to do it...*cough*』-『But why do you help that stranger!!!! He's a bad guy who came to sell us to even badder guys!!!! Where is my Husband!!! I want to see my Husband!!!!』

『Here I am Papi-san』

At that time things were calming down, it seems that Daddy wanted to see his Husband that he is well. Where Kimihito Kurusu ended up showing up to finally calm things down. When things finally seemed to settle down, Kurusu looked around his room and....

『I ended up destroyed again...how many times has it been? I'm going to have to ask Smith-san for help again, though I think she'll be glad I came to her』.

『Husband...Husband...Is that really you?...Didn't you go to meet Father Christmas?...』

『Santa Claus? Of course not Papi-san, I'd rather tell you not to get into mischief, again please...』

『*happy* Husband !!!!!! Yes yes!!! I won't do it again!!!!!!』

At this Papi was released and quickly went to Kurusu so she could hug him and see that he was okay, at this the young man didn't know what was going on and how things ended up like this. But the good thing is that they were able to stop everything in time, now Papi was calmed down, but the thing is how the boy was. Quickly Rachnera gave a hint about the state of the child that... when M was dragged through the spider's web, the first thing he found when he opened his eyes was...

『When he saw me quickly it looks like he fainted, I even worried that he died because he was really scared, I saw a lot of reactions when they see me, but this is the first time for me 』.

Literally M seeing Rachnera, let's put in context, M has been dragged and was on the ground, and the moment he opened his eyes looking up, he found a huge spider on top of him, with the 8 legs protecting him, the huge spider body from the back. And as a girl with spider-like features on her face was telling him that nothing would happen to him. This literally scared the poor boy who could not bear the fear so much that....

『In the end Rachnera ended up giving the boy the ultimate sentence』.

『I'd rather help save him I'd say 』.

At that the first to speak was a mermaid , her name is Meroune Lorelei, but everyone calls her Mero, the most characteristic thing about the said girl is her pink colour, either in her hair or in her fish parts, as well as mostly for with a Maid outfit...but in a bikini....

『She's starting to foam at the mouth 』

『Eh????!!!! Quick Mero-san, can you treat the child?』

『I'll take care of it my Love, it's better that the boy dies after meeting his true love *smiles*, awww that would be perfect *smiles*』

『I'd rather you cure him without that thought Mero-san...』

They would quickly move on to help the boy, who was really starting to foam from his mouth more and more. Where quickly Kurusu would be the one to carry M in her arms for better care for Mero to treat him, as this mermaid has a knowledge of medicine with living beings, and as time went by she learned how to treat more living beings outside of the ocean. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

First we will tell what happened in the morning. Kurusu made a call to his companions to tell them about the situation, and since most of them were already awake, they listened to this, besides it was important because of what Kurusu, Rachnera and Lala were transmitting at that moment. They did not call Papi at that moment as he was still not awake, and as he was sleeping with the child, they decided it was best that they rest until they were both fully recovered. But in the middle of what they were talking about, the other members were able to realise the situation in which the child could be, and when they were about to tell more, they ended up hearing a commotion on the first floor, and that is where everyone intervened before a misfortune occurred.

M had already been treated and was calming down, everyone was in the living room to continue the talk together now. It seems like Papi is really attached to Kurusu more than usual, she keeps hugging him, even this is really annoying Mia because....

『Hey Papi, it's okay that you thought my darling died, but aren't you getting too attached to him?

『It's not my fault, just the thought of my Husband not being with me anymore, it scares me...』

『Uhmm...you have a point there but...ahhh!!!! Then I'm sticking to my Darling too!!! you're not going to leave us are you? You're not going to leave me, are you???? Still if one day something happens to you, don't worry Honey, I'll look for that wretch who ended our love 』

『Don't say such things Mia-san and be insensitive...I'm not going anywhere, after all I have to take care of all of you, besides if one day I'm in danger, I'll do everything I can to live, I know how much you love me and I wouldn't want you to be sad because of me』.

At Kurusu's words, even though Mia was also attached to him to hug him, hearing that they say many things about it, it is better to make it clear to all of them one thing, that he will do everything possible for the sake of all his companions. Words that made each of them really happy, and implying that they were lucky to be able to be in Kurusu's company.

『You two, Mia-san, Papi-san』, we need to talk about a certain topic alone later please』.

『(Alone!!!!) Yes!!!! I'll be there Honey!!!』

『Sure my husband! We'll talk a lot about how I like chicken!!!』

『...』

I could really hear how everyone here was talking, although I could hear them a little bit, couldn't I? As if something was holding back what I hear, as if I was inside water it feels...When I was finally opening my eyes, the first thing I saw is that....

『(Eh? Why do I look like I have a green filter...eh?...)!!!!!!!!!!!』

At that moment I took a breath but... I was startled for a moment as my mind played a trick on me. I quickly became alarmed and woke up upset, where the people present tried to calm me down because of my surprise. Quickly Kurusu called the attention of a companion who was covering me? Quickly I could see that the real thing that covered my face and most of my body, happened to mold to one side, to this quickly happened to see what happened, and it was strange ... A green thing with an undefined shape at the beginning I saw, but when it finished forming, the only thing I could see was a pretty girl could say gelatinous and liquid? Her whole body was green, and the only thing she was wearing was a yellow mackintosh, the only thing that came to my mind was....

『Fuck it...I think I'm still high...』

The girl I was seeing was a Slime, her name was Suu, normally in this world they take on the appearance of a girl, there was no further explanation to this, only that I didn't know it at the time.

『I'm sorry kid, we didn't expect you to react like this』.

『....¿? Eh?...You're...Aniki?』

This was strange for me, to meet again with the person who helped me last night, what am I doing here? what happened all the time, I definitely need to talk about everything and... when I looked around I realised something, I am surrounded by many species that I thought I would never see. It seems that everything has calmed down, that's good, I didn't want to reveal more about myself...

It seems that I was treated with medicine all over my body, the Mermaid called Mero was the one who gave me the care I needed and she could see that my body was physically exhausted and a bit beaten up. I didn't know this, but they told me that they decided to give me a complete check-up after Papi tried to kill me. They checked my whole body and realized that I had bruises half recovered all over my body, ahh...I think it's because Carmis' healing wasn't 100% complete, my buddy had already used up all his magic...Removing the scars from my hands, they decided it was best to treat me properly. And it seems that in addition to the first aid, they used Suu as a container where he first ingested medicinal herbs, it seems that he has such an ability the Slime and then ended up wrapping my whole body with it...to transfer all the benefits of healing and accelerate it...

Ahh...that explains why I'm uncovered from the top, I'm thankful they didn't do it downstairs...Although the only bad thing is that now I'm wet and kind of snotty...it feels weird...Kurusu gave me a towel to dry off with and....

『Can you tell us your name? kid...』

『Ah !!!! Your name is M, you told me when we talked this morning, I remember it now! *smiles*』

『....』

I really didn't know how to be in this situation, Kurusu asked me for my name, but quickly Papi, the harpy who tried to attack me said it like it was nothing...To this I was confused and asked him directly if he remembered it, what was all that before?

 『Papi-san, it's difficult for harpies to retain information unless it's very important to them, they had already talked before and it was all right, Papi-san, apologise to M』.

『I'm sorry M, I really am a fool...』

『.... I understand...it's over now and everything ended well so let's just leave it at that...』

It really is a bit confusing, I forget in such a short time what we have talked about? Now that they at least knew my name, it was at least a little helpful. Kurusu had the plan to take it one step at a time and go with the stronger theme, seeing M's bruises, the scars and him acting confused and weird all the time. It really makes him think that maybe everything they speculated last night was real. Kurusu was ready for this, but....

『Hey M, you lost your family』

At that someone straightforwardly spoke, at this everyone turned to look one way, and it was Lala who said it straightforwardly without any detours. Everyone was shocked by this, how can she say it in a straightforward manner, Kurusu was worried and tried to calm all this down, but I....

『Yes, we could say that I lost my family and now they are far away...I also have no home to stay in, no family or friends...I'm alone in this world...』

I was already used to them being straight with me, so I appreciate Lala saying it straight and we can save a lot of talk about it all. I said it with a tone of acceptance but sad just the same, everyone hearing my answer really felt sorry for me, I could see it on their faces at that moment, what they were talking about was real. It is not that I am lying, but it is the truth, right now I am alone in this world with no one to support me, so in that....

『I knew it, if you don't have a place to stay, I'm in favour of you staying here for a while, until things get better M』.

Eh...but...she's the same girl who served me at the restaurant last night...I didn't think I'd see her again...and she's even asking me to stay here to think about what my future will be like from now on...I...I...

『I'm also in favour, as I told you M, as long as you're here nothing bad will happen to you, this can be your home *smiles*』

At that Papi also commented on this, where I...again memories came to me that even though they were yesterday, put them together with today...seriously because they are treating me too well...is it that they feel sorry for me? they don't know anything about me, nor who knows my situation but...they don't care about that, they just see that I need help and they will extend a hand to me. ...I...I....Y not only stayed there, but everyone present was giving me that little favour, that I should stay, that I won't be a bother, that it would give them joy to let me help...even Slime Suu who doesn't seem to talk so much, was giving me the approval that I can stay just with her smile...why...really why....

『You really are all very nice people...』

Ahhh...what is this...I'm supposed to continue my journey and not get attached to something I shouldn't, but...how am I supposed to say no to all this kindness they are offering me...I...I...at that moment I was so emotionally weak that I was about to accept...-----

At that moment there was a knock on the door of the house, where Kurusu went to open it to see who it was, most likely he already knew who it was. I was still thinking that if I stay here, it really wouldn't be so bad...to rebuild my life here...it wouldn't be so bad....

『You've woken up kid, I'm so glad, you'll have a lot of doubts so first I'll tell you that it was me who brought you to this home, right it's surrounded by good people...also a bit problematic but that's what makes it fun *smiles*』』

Kuroko Smith had appeared in the living room at that moment, the way he greeted everyone, it was clear what kind of relationship he had, although I feel that the closest one is Kurusu. To this he didn't hesitate and sat down in front of me and... now that I see him, he really looks important, the black suit, the glasses that gave him that touch of presence and...

『It's time for us to talk, boy who's not of this world...』

『!!!!!!!!!...』

When he told me that, it really scared the hell out of me, eh?...how did he know that? how did he know that? I never said anything...eh?...because he looks so serious...Maybe the quiet life I imagined, won't be so quiet after all. ....
