No Slither-X (1)

The boy in front of me looks about the same age as that little girl named Rania.

As befits the son of a poor merchant, his clothes are shabby.

Still, his hair has a cream color with some curls, making him look quite pretty.

When he grows up, he'll probably be quite popular.

The boy made a snake sound again.

"Saak, saak."

His mind still doesn't seem quite right.

Poor kid. He's lost his chance to become popular.

"Sat, sat."

"Saak!"

When I joined in with a similar sound, his face turned bright red and he started rustling about.

He's snorting air through his nose, seeming very excited.

Maybe I should stop teasing him.

But what should I do now?

I've been discovered in my hiding place.

If the little one tells the merchants, I'll surely be kicked out.

The carriage journey has been quite enjoyable and relaxing so far.
