My twin sister was taken in as a miko, and I was thrown away, but maybe I am the miko.

“Then…I’ll take responsibility.”

“Huh? W-what did you say…”

“I heard there’s a special meaning to touching it now.”

“No, I don’t think it’s that easy to say…I mean, who did you ask?”

“Shifo”

　It’s funny how the boy’s expression changes from time to time. When asked who asked him, he says Seafo’s name and points to him.

“Do you understand the words?”

“Because we have a contract.”

“A contract…? So, does that mean you’ve been accepted by Skyhorse?”

“I don’t know if they’ve recognized me, but we’re good friends.”

　Judging by the surprised look on his face, it might be unusual for monsters to make contracts. Honestly, I don’t have any knowledge of that kind of thing, so I don’t know what’s special and what’s not special.

“Boy… why are you here?”

“Boy, my name is Gaius. Our god is here! I brought tribute with my father and others!”

“tribute?”

“Yes! I don’t really understand, but my father said he asked for some clothes.”

“clothes……?”

　I think that might be the case.

　Could it be that the god that the beast boy Gaius is talking about is…?

“You mean the griffon?”

“H-how do you know!? Can you even read minds!?”

　Gaius is looking at me with very expectant eyes. But unfortunately I can’t read minds. Or rather, is Gaius the kind of kid who gets excited when there’s someone who can read minds? I don’t like it when my mind is read though.

“I can’t read minds. Gaius came with his father, but did he get separated?”

“Oh, I heard some kind of song, so I got curious and came over…”

“Me and Seafo’s song?”

“Yes, I was starting to get interested, and I was surprised when I heard you singing “Skyhorse.” Then you… you started stroking my ears and tail so hard! You can’t do that to me like a beastman anymore! ”

　Apparently, she got separated from her father because of Seafo’s and me’s song. That’s tough.

　By the way, what does it mean for griffons to be gods? Also, you get clothes from beastmen. Since you said it was a tribute, are griffons being paid regularly?

　I wonder if people who live in nature revere strong beings.

　ears and tail.

　Gaius’ ears and tail are brown and fluffy and comfortable to the touch. I guess I can’t touch it anymore. I want to touch…….

　Well, after all…

“If I take responsibility, can I touch Gaius?”

　I feel like it’s better for me to be completely responsible and indulgent than not to touch each other all the time. I want fluffy and I think it’s a good thing that fluffy becomes my husband.

“You… it’s no good for a woman to say something like that so easily!”

“But I want to touch you…”

“Well, there’s no point in looking at me like that!”

“…Gaius, you don’t like my turn?”

“No, I don’t mind! No, my father told me that it’s important to have a turn, so it’s not something you can easily decide!”

　I don’t hate it. Your tail is wagging, but are you actually happy? It’s kind of cute. I want to touch your swaying tail. I also want to touch his twitching ears.

　Anyway, I wonder if Gaius’ father is also a fluffy wolf like Gaius. Or maybe there are different fluffy beastmen.

“If you think about it and want to be, is that okay?”

“That’s… that’s fine though.”

“It’s okay. Gaius, you’re cute.”

　I couldn’t help but smile at his swaying tail and his honest manner of speaking.

　Ah, somehow Gaius stiffened. what happened?

“what happened……?”

“…It’s nothing!”

“Is your face red?”

“do not look!”

　It would happened to. Well, no. More than that, I feel like I haven’t introduced myself to Gaius. I have to say my name properly.

“Lelunda”

“yeah?”

“my name”

“Oh, you mean Lelunda? Or rather, why is Lelunda here? Humans don’t come to the depths of the forest like this, right?”

“Because I was abandoned…”

“teeth!?”

　When I told him honestly that I had been abandoned, Gaius looked surprised.

　Humans certainly don’t go this deep into the forest. Humans live in places where forests have been cleared, and there are monsters in these places, so they don’t come.

　I too had never been this deep until I was abandoned and Seafo brought me in.

“Is it okay if I get thrown away?”

“Hmm. It’s okay. Just like this, I’m fine.”

　It seems like he’s worried about you. Even though it’s our first time meeting, she’s a good girl. I’m happy when you worry about me.

　Ah, that’s right. Gaius said he got separated from his father and his friends. Gaius’ fathers may also be very worried about Gaius. We need to quickly tell Gaius’s fathers that Gaius is safe.

　If Gaius’s fathers brought tribute to the griffon, I wonder if we can do something about it if we return to the griffon’s nest.

　That’s what I thought.

“Gaius, let’s go.”

“Go? Where?”

“Griffon’s place”

“teeth!?”

“Okay, just ride.”

　I decided to put Gaius on Seafo, and then ride Seafo as well and return to the griffon’s nest.

　—A girl and a boy.

　(Perhaps the miko girl is having a conversation with the beast boy.)
