I can't believe my eyes.
"Oh, my... is it really your eyes?"
　It's not that ... it's used when you can't believe what you're actually seeing.

　Yes, at times like this.

"Ah... hello, Lady,"
"Oh, Milly," How have you been?"
"Yes. Regina looks fine, too."
`It doesn't make much sense for us to go anywhere, though we're fine,'

　Regina and Milly
　The extremely shy duo are talking and laughing.

"What's going on!"
"What!? ... oh, Miss Ottoman,"
"What's the matter with me?" Are you suddenly getting a loud voice? I was surprised and thought I'd shrink my breasts."
"Shrink!? I'm really sorry!"

　No, there's no way.
　I was upset to see a rather surprising sight.
　Let's calm down for now.

　I had just come down the main street to the east of 42 wards to go to Regina's.
　It's sunny. It's a little sweaty weather.
　On a day like this, Regina must be talking to the cotton dust rolling on the floor with her knees clasped in a dark room with the doors closed. It was clear enough to assure me that.

　But for some reason Regina is outside and even talking to Milly.

　I mean, that's not it. First of all, the first thing I should say is...

"Millie... Don't get too close to me because I'm too.
"Why, what's going on?"
"Oh... I'm not going to be brave enough.

　I'm trying to keep a promising beautiful girl from stepping on a stupid pebble and stepping on the rails of her life.

"Well... I've been talking to Regina for a long time... sometimes."
"Well, I'm one of the few friends who remembered our name."
"You guys were good friends,"
"... Uh... Uh... Uh... Uh... Uh... Uh..."
"Well......... well,"
"Not as much as you say..."

　If we meet on the street, we just have a few words.

"And where are you going?"
"Is it us? We're a dream land."
"You're the only one who describes your house that way. How introverted are you?"
"On such a bright day of the sun it is best to shut the door and talk with the cotton dust rolling on the floor with your knees in your arms."

　Are you really doing that!?

"Where is the active Milly going, unlike Regina, who was useless to listen to?"
"Well... can I answer normally?"

　Of course. I won't ask Milly to be stupid.
　It's healing to ask Milly.
　You just have to stay the way.

`Mily, I'm going to pick some wild grass now,'
"Isn't it a flower?"
"Well... I'm going to dry it and make it a preserved food."
"Oh, come on, come on! I don't think that's the time."

　Regina claps her hands.
　What? Is it in season?
　There are no four seasons in this town, so I don't know if it's not a good season.

"If you don't mind, can I go with you? There are herbs I want to collect now."
"Oh! It's fun to go with you,"
"I don't know what to do," I don't have to worry if my baggage is piled up."
"Wait a minute. Why are you going with me?"
"What...?"
"What?"
"No... not the 'e' but the 'e'..."

　Why is Milly looking like, "You're not coming?"
　I didn't say "I'm going", did I?

"The wild grass grows in the deep forest... only beautiful women and beautiful girls... I'm afraid... Milly-chan."
`Well, well... well, well,'
"It's cowardly to use Milly, Regina,"

　Milly is like... I don't think I should handle it roughly. Don't use it for trump. It'll be hard to say no.

"If you help me, I'll give you some medicine as a token of my gratitude."
"Medicine? What is it?"
"Men's pride! More energy!"
"Let's go first, Milly,"
"Well... but..."
"Oh, that's all right. Let's go."
"Wait a minute! Don't say that, myself!"

　Regina runs after us as we start walking.
　He stood next to me and grabbed me by the shoulder. What a rough touch! There was nothing in the world about her.

"...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh..."
"How little are you, your strength..."I'm running out of gas after only about two meters of running... I'm starting to feel sorry for me.

"Well... can I get on?"
"What!? To Homma!? Huh!"

　Milly points to her usual cart.
　Magda was also on the way to see the Ariquis, but it's a big cart that Regina could lay down easily. The power of the Beast race is immeasurable because such a small Milly pulls it lightly. Well, it's not a beast, it's a bug.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Hey, don't hesitate to."

　Regina, cutting a knife, gets into the loading platform. Where are you Ossan?
"Excuse me for a moment~" That's not it.

"You didn't load any flowers today."
"Well, I'll catch a lot of wild grass."
"... a glass of this?"
"Wild grass is delicious."

　...the Beast race is fuel‐efficient, isn't it? It's called Magda and Milly, and after using force, they seem to feel hungry.

"Oh! Then we can't get on the platform on the way home?"

　Well, I'll load it with wild grass.

"Myself. Do your best to pick herbs!"
"Regina, you really look good in a cart... in the sense of luggage."

　I'm sure you'd save yourself a lot of trouble if you let him go.

"Mr. Ottoman, I'll show you how to pick wild plants."
"Professional work... Let me see."
"Well... it's not much, is it?"

　Milly laughs slightly shyly but with a face of firm confidence.
　Are you serious about picking wild grass for this big cart?

　That led me to go with him to the woods. Milly is talking to me on the assumption that I will follow her. Well, while you're at it, I'll take some wild grass and go home.






　Me, IN, insectivorous plants, IN, forest.

"I'm sorry!"
"Oh, yes, in a momentarily!"
"Oh! How many times have you done this, yourself!? Steady!"

　in a deep forest
　I was completely preyed on by a giant insectivorous plant that touched my fingertips with a click.
　Just by touching my fingertips, I'm predicting... Even the scary Japanese brothers don't get involved unless they bump into each other on the shoulder. What a grass! It's unreasonable!

`Well... yes, before I know it..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Milly..."
"Ah... quick... because if you open these petals, the smell will catch you and the beast will come."

　It's somehow more survival than I imagined.
　In short, would I not be attacked by a beast wearing the smell all over my body?

"Regina, shall I give you a hug?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. We're the type of guy outside. Ladies and gentlemen."

　Hey... I was going to make a companion.

　I heard it was a forest in the 42 wards, so I was licking it completely.
　They say this forest is controlled by the Flower Guild and is off limits to the public. It seems that you can enter if you get permission to do so, but you will need to be accompanied by members of the flower guild.

　Regina seems to have visited several times in the past to pick up herbs.
　Genet has been in it before, hasn't he?

"Jinnette was really preoccupied, wasn't he? He's blank."
"Uh-huh. Mr. Jinet never..."
"I'm sorry, I can't make any friends,"

　...why am I the only one who is preyed on by insectivorous plants.........

"It's hard to be handsome!"
"If I were that positive, it would be all right. I will continue to gather wild grass.'
"Well,"

　Nobody listens to me.

　It seems that large numbers of insectivorous plants are planted around here to prevent trespassing. It's a giant predatory fellow.
　...what have they eaten and grown up to this point? ...I don't think some of them have eaten, do they?

"This flower likes sausages and beer."
"Oh, my God."

　I love sausages and beer and occasionally prey on people. Oh, my God! ... No, don't you prey on him?

"Mr. Ottoman may smell like sausages..."
"Oh, I suppose so," I'm the only one hanging a sausage...
"Let's hurry up, Milly!"

　Don't listen to Regina properly. What is he trying to say?

"Future down the road... full of wild grass. I'll get it for you, too."
"No, no. Don't lick me, Milly." It looks like this, and I'm a master at picking wild plants."
"Will masters be preyed on by insectivorous plants like fools?"

　Oh, no! There was no insectivorous plant of this size in Japan!
　I have been with the landlady since I was a child to gather wild vegetables. The image of grandfather going to the mountains, grandmother going to the river, and so on, was widespread, but we went the other way.
　The landlady had gone to the mountains to gather wild vegetables and the stable master had gone to the river to catch river fish.I'm the one who was taught both of those skills! Whether it's picking wild vegetables or fishing in the river, they're asking me to come. It's not impossible for me!

"Ah... that's where the wildflowers live."

　Millie pointed at a number of spindly trees.
　It measures about a meter in diameter and is as tall as four meters in height.
　the spindly upper part of the tree Green grass grows about three meters above the ground. It's not like a leaf of a tree, it's like a parasite on the tree. I remembered a sea anemone for a momentarily.

　Well, hey, no way...

"Oh, that's the wild grass I'm looking for,"
"It's impossible,"

　That's impossible.
　You can't go for it unless you grow even a feather.
　The trunk of a tree is as smooth as crimson as a crimson, and it has no branches or caves to which you can hook your feet.
　Wild grass habitats are not human accessible.

"Oh, my God," Are you good at it?"

　That's why there wasn't such a playful plant in Japan!
　I tried to argue with him, but he stiffened me.

　Beyond Regina appeared a tiger-sized beast.
　He's peeling his tusks and glaring at us for sure.
　He is dressed as if he were about to jump, with a menacing "gulle" and his head lowered.

　If you are attacked by a guy like that, you can't be hurt.

"You guys...!"

The beast leaped at us before saying, "Get away."
　No, definitely, towards me.

　...me!?

　Come to think of it, did you say that if you smell insectivorous plants, the beasts would come close to you... ...this effective, that smell!?

　I run.
　run away with all one's way
　Leaving Regina and Milly, they just keep running.

　...and captured.

　I felt a strong impact on my back and found myself pushed to the ground.
　I was completely held back by Magda's waist-high arms.

　Is this the sort of thing that's all over?
　I... ...here's a beast like this... ...that's it?

　As I was about to be engulfed in such desperate thoughts, Regina's voice was clearly heard.

"Opportunity. Go pick some wild grass now."
"Well,"

　No, no, no! Help me! Can you help me right now?
　What's wrong with you? There's nothing like waking up in a pinch or overflowing with hidden power!
　If you let me go, I'm sure I'll get eaten!?

"Mr. Ottoman,"

　Milly looks at me with anxious eyes.
　And...

"...good luck,"

　What?

　Milly then climbed up the tree with an unanswered word.
　Wow, she's good at climbing a millimeter tree...

　It's no time to say that!
　I'm in big trouble!

　But...

"Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!"

　The beast began to lick me in the face.
　...get eaten.........?

　The beast then sniffed at me, rode on me, bites me... ...and repeatedly acted like a cat again.
　...this is.........

`It's a big beast, but it's a little too friendly and annoying.'

　Regina mutters when she sees me being toyed with by animals.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're helping me."
"I mean to take it upon myself... ...wab! ...you know! ...lick your face, don't lick your face, beasts!"

　raise an objective voice while being licked all over.
　Oh, it stinks! This beast's saliva stinks so much!

"Well, we're not..."
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"We're not picking herbs,"
"Oh, yes! I have to pick up herbs instead of you!? So you have to take my place!"

　Regina smiled broadly at my desperate appeal.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'

　That's what I'm saying, too!

　And, heartlessly, I kept being "huffed" by this mysterious beast until Milly's gigantic cart was filled with wild herbs.

　...I can't get married anymore.






　I've had a hard time.
　The fluid of the insectivorous plants made me muddy, and I was licked up by a huge beast, and I was completely exhausted."It's been a very pleasant and sunny day since this morning... Why are you doing this?

"Oh... how are you? I'll give you a lot of Hillard leaves." you know?"

　Worried about me being so exhausted that I could barely walk, Milly took me to the Yangdari-tei.
　Huh? Regina?
"Oh, we're home here and there. I said, "Oh my gosh!" and left right away.
　He... seriously remember..."Well, you know, Hillard's leaves warm up when you put them in soup, and you like them very much."

　My expression is dying, and Milly says nice words to me.
　This girl is a real good girl. It's as much as I want. ...how about exchanging it for Loretta?

"I'm sorry to hear that you're sending me. Would you like to drop in?"
"Well, I have to dry the wild grass."
"I see,"

　part with Milly at the door
　And as usual, even if you go a long way, Milly repeats "Bye bye!"
　After seeing me off until I was completely out of sight, I opened the door of the Yangdamari-tei.

"Oh, welcome back, Jillo, what's the matter.

　As soon as Jeanette sees me, she runs up to me.
The following words had been uttered before I had finished saying 'Mr. Yashiro' and I had a vague feeling that I didn't understand. Well, are you panicking? I said I was going to go to Regina, but when I came home in a hurry.

"I was going to pick wild grass with Milly and one others."
"Ah... that beast made fun of you,"

　Jeanette laughs bitterly. That beast's annoyance seems to be common sense among those who have ever been in the woods.
　Jeanette goes into the kitchen, saying she'll bring a towel right away. You're going upstairs, aren't you? I wish they'd get a bath ready.

"...sounds good,"

　Magda comes close to me and smells me.

"...it smells like another woman."

　I wonder if that beast was a female."

"...and the smell that makes me want to bite you a little bit."
"Don't... I don't have any strength left today..."

　It seems that the feline elements of the tiger tribe have responded to the elements that float from me.

"Wow! What's wrong with you, brother?"

　Loretta comes running to me with her head out of the kitchen.
　Oh, will you worry too? She's very different from Regina.

"Wow! It's so cool, brother!"

　I picked my nose, made a U-turn, and went back to the kitchen.
　......I'm going to trade you, seriously.

"Yasilo, I'm boiling the water now, so please wait a little longer."

　Jeanette comes back with a towel. As expected of Jeanette. They seem to have prepared a bath without telling me. You know what I mean, don't you?

"Brother, I'll be worried when I get better!"
"Come on, don't speak any more,"

　Loretta sticks her head out of the kitchen.
　That's the sort of guy he is. I got it!

"Oh, yes. Hey, souvenirs."
"Why?"

　hand over Milly's wild grass to Jeanette Well, what was the name? It's a wild grass that I've never seen in Japan.

"Wow! What a Hillard leaf!"

　Oh, yeah. It's Hillard's leaves.

"Well, it's time for that, isn't it?"
"Is it in season?"
"Huh?"

　There may be no concept of season in this city, where all the food is available all year round.
　However, it seems to be a seasonal food.

"When I eat this wild grass, I think it's the end of the season."
"'Osameki'?"
"Yes, it's time to wrap up the year."
"Oh... Come to think of it,"

　I broke my fingers and counted.
　Well... That's true.
　Nearly eight months have passed since I came to this world.

　It's December, isn't it?

　Even in this world where the time and calendar are very close to Japan, is December the last month of the year after all? It's the closing time. I see, that makes sense.
　Maybe it was in December that Milly and Regina went to collect wild herbs and herbs. They must be preparing for the new year.
　Now that you mention it, everywhere in the city looks busy.

"Mr. Jiro,"
"Huh?"

　With Hillard's leaves in his arms, Jeanette looks straight at me.

"Will you go shopping with me tomorrow? There are many things I want to buy."
"Oh, good,"

　Will we start preparing for the new year?
　Right. Is there any buckwheat noodles? New Year's noodles. Oh, and I'm not going to be it's too much.
　Would you like to ask him?

"Well, let's go shopping all day to-morrow," Mr. Magda, Mr. Loretta, I'd like a shop."
"One day? Does it take that long?"
"Yes, it's so important that you have to do it without hesitation!""Well, that's fine."

　The forty‐second wards without the four seasons are like spring. It's getting a little cooler these days and it's like autumn. You might want to walk around the city with Jeanette for a day in the fresh autumn breeze.

　I'm getting a little excited.
　If that's the case, I must rest early today.
　I'm looking forward to tomorrow, so it's not like "I wonder if it'll be tomorrow soon.
　I'm running out of energy today because of the beasts, and I think I'll be walking around tomorrow too, so I have to keep myself in good shape.
　That's why I'm going to rest early today. ......wow! I might not be able to sleep!

　I spent the day with such a little excitement, and the next morning I had been waiting for.
　There was a clear blue sky, and the sun shone brightly????



　A sweltering hot day has arrived.
