The rain and the night sky

"Humans are really interesting... "

One week has passed since Ian first saw the new type. He was wandering around the area near the city of mercy and found an abandoned werehouse that seems to been a human settlement.

When he reached the werehouse what greet him was a pack of ogretails. Ignoring the pack, he then searched the place to find something useful since he was here anyway. He was gathering some clothes and books and storing them in bags he finds along the way.

"There we go"

"Hey Blacky! Found anything?"

"No...only food."

"We'll be leaving this place so finish it quick. "

Ian look at the four bags he gathered, one is full of books while the rest are clothes. It's a pity that books are very scarce but he can't really complain since he found a bag full of books.

Suddenly two black appendages sprouted in his back and it then grabs the bag and carried it. Ian then left the werehouse and found the tiger-like aragami at the corner that seems to be eating currently.

"Hey finish your food quickly Blacky, I don't want to meet any god eaters and damage these books."

He said in urgency as as he took a peek on what it was eating. A half-eaten ogretail was in its mouth and he also saw an arm and a leg of a human on the ground.

"Done..."

"Good, let's go"

The two left the werehouse and goes back to the city to get their stuff as the are leaving the area.

"Aha, finally a perfectly intact dictionary!"

Ian shouted in joy as he run around the cave they taken shelter for the rain. Blacky beside him look irritated at his action but didn't strike him luckily.

"Oho! We even have some books about history"

"Ah, what a lucky day"

"Shut up... your noisy"

Blacky's intelligent is growing at a steady pace as he even showed restraints to kill Ian now due to how annoying he is right now but Ian didn't notice due to his joy for books.

Afer running about an hour, Ian finally calm down and started reading the dictionary and Blacky can finally sleep in peace.

Time fly fast and when Ian was halfway on finishing the dictionary, it's already midnight and the rain is nowhere to be seen.

Ian decided to stop reading and wake up Blacky.

"... What now... Still sleepy..."

"Its time to hit the road Blacky, our destination is quite a far place from here."

"Just...five more minutes... "

"What a spoiled aragami you are"

He left the cave and while waiting for Blacky to come out, he was gazing at the night sky.

"It always baffle me on how beautiful the sky is... "

"I wonder how's the life out there. "

He mutters as he look the big round star at the center.

"You always... stare at the sky"

"Well, staring at them somehow calms me down"

Blacky went to his side as he too look at the night sky. Ian then pointed at the big round star

"Blacky you see that right? Apparently that star is called the moon and it is the closest star from here"

"So?"

"Aren't you curious, how's the life out there?"

"No"

"I see... "

"..."

The duo look at the sky in silence before Ian prompted Blacky to leave.

"Let's go Blacky"

"I'm hungry... "

"Jesus, food is the only thing in your mind"

"We'll find a mid-sized aragami later so hold it for now."
