Yum, yum, yum.

Stomach was packed.

We were done eating.

Going upstairs was what needed to be done afterward.

Calming was the one who'd handled the room service and whatnot, he had the key.

And so he directed us to our room.

"And there it is."

We'd sleep into that big room that was opening to us right now.

Two beds, mainly.

No shelf, no nothing.

It was really poor.

It'd be our house for the night.

Within that house, there were also many other flimsy and tiny houses.

Spiderwebs, indeed.

It was fun. Spiderwebs were fun.

That had picked my interest. Into one of the four sorry corners of that room, there was a big thing.

A big spider, extending all eight limbs in all directions as it rested patiently on the middle of its spiderweb.

Hmmm, we're quite similar you and me, Spidey.

Like, maybe you're one of my kin, I don't know.

It'd be surprising, yeah, I'll give you that.

Oh, and do you like when I pet you like this, hmm?

Aren't you a super cute spider, now.

After he'd put down on one corner of our new home, Calming went up to me.

"Oh," he expressed his marvel, "Isn't it afraid of you, princess?" I was petting Spidey with my index finger.

"Why'd it be, Calming?"

"I mean, that's a spider we're talking about, normally, it'd be on the run if you touch it like this."

"'That so?"

Spidey didn't run, though.

"Come on, why don't you give it a try too, then," I stepped aside from the corner of the room, "Here, Spidey's all yours."

"Oh--Oh..? Y--Yes… sure," his face grimaced a bit for some unknown reason, "I'll be allowing myself then."

And upon his finger not even brushing Spidey's web, she went on the run.

"A--Ah..."

Spidey didn't dare to be slow, all her tiny little legs working altogether quickly got her into a safe spot.

"Ah, my blunder, princess, I scared your spider away."

"Yes you did, Calming," I faced up and observed, "Is that tiny hole in between the walls her real home?"

"Surely it is, princess."

How come Spidey wasn't scared of me.

Maybe we really are similar.

She kinda gives me these cozy, friendly vibes.

Well, anyway, now, she'd gone away.

It was time to sleep, too.

So I went and rested my butt on one of the bigger beds among the two that were present here.

Tomorrow will be a long day.

According to Calming's calculations, we only needed to go like this for 2 days straight, and that'd be it.

We'd be reaching our goal within that amount of time.

The Dryads would probably just be at the end of the route.

I reckoned he was right with his calculations.

Indeed, I could sense ourselves getting nearer to the quest's completion.

The Guide calls it 'guiding fragrance,' remember?

It's kinda neat, to be honest.

It worked the same way as [Mana Perception]

When I concentrate on it, I can feel its 'guidance.'

It only took a concentrating mind, really.

Aside from that ... heh.

Upon concentrating, I could also noticeably feel one restless being here, "What is it, Angry? What are you agitating yourself for, hm?"

What's wrong with him?

"I can feel you're being disordered right now," sitting on my bed, I turned myself over and faced him.

"Speak up your mind, what's getting at you, Angry?"

He sat down on the other bed.

Other than that, he did nothing.

Wouldn't take long before he'd act, though.

After performing an abrupt movement of his head, turning it over to my side of the room, he shot at two heinous eyes.

Meeting his eyes, mine squinted.

He who'd behaved so properly up until now was acting up again, huh.

So, what up, Angry? You got something on your heart you wanna talk about?

"Th--This comedy ... you're playing with us ...."

"That's the way," I grinned at him, "Help yourself and speak."

"Th--That right now!" all the more restlessly, he agitatingly pointed a finger at me, "Th--That's "precisely what I'm talking 'bout!

"You, the weak princess acting all high and mighty with us ... as if--As if you were some--"

"Enough, Sakage!"

"No. Let him speak, Calming."

Waving a hand to Angry, he understood he was allowed to continue.

"You and your ... self-sufficient attitude ... you better remember that your father's dead!

"All of this happening--All of this mess we're in, don't you go about thinking you're the only one affected by this!

"That's all because of him, your father!

"Hadn't he been this big, quote-unquote 'virtuous being,' we wouldn't have lost the war in the first place,

"His goddamn rules, that's what got us here in the first place!

"--Shut up, Sakage.

"Just shut up, that's enough."

"Dammit...!"

Well, well, well.

Let's just hope it's gotten this heavy load outta his heart.

Angry emptied his heart.

What was he going on about saying, though, I had no clue about.

I didn't react to what he said, I couldn't actually care less about his complaints.

Still though, hopefully, he'll be getting better now, heh.

'Cause him being on edge like he'd been all the time ... it wasn't really reassuring, to be perfectly honest.

What if he'd snapped at some random moment and tried something funny on me?

I prefered to have him under control.

Yes, I didn't mind what he'd said at all. Just got him relaxed, I'm sure, so that's all a win for me.

My face's being expressionless, right now.

I'm sure of that.

But hey, what are my eyes crying?

I could sense two warm streams running starting about running down from my eyes.

Why are these tears running down my cheeks?

Calming sat down next to me and shook his head.

"Princess, don't shed tears… It's not like Angry says at all."

His soft hands came and brushed off the moist skin under my eyes.

Crap.

I gotta snap out of it.

"I'm--I am not!"

I'm not crying.

Whatever those tears mean, it's not me.

They're not mine.

"Bounce, Calming!"

"Oh--My apologies, princess."

"Tsk," I clicked my tongue, "Just move over."

"Same goes for you, Angry, Sakage, or whatever," my eyes shot at him, "Don't just stare blatantly at me, go on ahead and sleep."

"Hmph," he coldly snorted, "Sure."

Damn.

That's embarrassing.

Why am I crying?

Shh, shh.

Let's just chase away my embarrassment, why don't we, hmm?

So, um, what should we talk about then to forget all this?

The ... the journey!

The expedition!

The quest.

Yeah, let's talk about this.

How many days has it been again?

A matter of five days, if I remember correct.

Five days of long, long riding across the woods.

Foret's woods were gigantic, come to think of it, now.

Would there be an end to that forest?

Surely, there would, yes.

Old had told me that.

'To the north,' he'd said. 'To the north of these woods, there are plains and lowlands, valleys.'

I'm looking forward to that, Old.

I really am.

In about two days, I'd get there.

Old was waiting for me to come after the quest.

I wasn't quite sure about why he'd not simply said he'd come to me and take me to the end of the forest with himself, but well, what of it?

Certainly, he knew while I knew not.

I'll just follow his lead.

Dryads were at the end of our road.

And so far, no troubles whatsoever.

Calming didn't miss an occasion to tell me how worried and skeptical he was about my plan--Some complaints and fears about conflicting the orcs for some reason.

Well, I didn't get it, as always, but the bottom line was--It was none of my problems.

'Cause, yeah, the quest being done, I'm outta here.

The room's atmosphere had grown silent and quiet.

I preferred that better.

Angry had already tucked himself under his blanket.

Guess I should be doing the same.

Sleeping it was, then.

Just as I started to get down to it, hey, "What are you doing, Calming?"

Having just extended one large sheet on the floor, he was preparing himself to lie down on it, "Yes, princess. Preparing my bed, princess."

Ah?

"True you don't have any bed to sleep on," there only were two beds for the three of us.

"I hadn't picked that up quite right, sorry."

Well, from being honest, it wasn't true.

Just thought he'd be sleeping with his fella, though.

"Why would you be sorry though, princess?"

Hmm, that boy.

"Come here," I moved to the other side of my bed, "There's enough place for two."

Following that, he refused.

Knowing Calming, I knew he'd refuse, though.

So I insisted.

But he insisted on refusing, too.

I insisted again--He refused yet again.

Was he that willing to sleep on the ground...?

My face grimaced.

No way, he was just being humble towards his princess.

He must've also been thinking it'd bother me, huh.

"Well,"

"I wouldn't want to be bothering you, princess."

There you go. 'Bothering you.'

"That's an order anyway, Calming."

Even the stubborn Calming had to give in in this situation.

We slept apart from each other.

We were relatively thin. The bed could contain two more of us.

And well, that was pretty much it.

Putting all that aside, everything was normal.

Yes, everything was.

Perfectly normal, yup.

I insist, okay...?!

Even the tears I shed back then were normal.

Very normal tears, yup.

Sigh.

Being tucked in my bed, I sighed.

Don't tell me she ... no way.

Don't tell me she's still in there?

The princess?

I mean, she'd be the one crying for that, right?

Shedding tears was her job, not mine.

But, there's just no way, right?

Otherwise, how to explain the tears?

I gotta try something.

"C--Can you hear me...?" I whispered to both myself and herself in doubt.

Well, I quite disliked them, these tears.

I didn't believe they'd be coming out from me.

Me not a crybaby.

Nu-uh.

Maybe I was just super worn out mentally, hence I teared up a bit, though.

No, no.

I don't cry.

"So, can you hear me," I tried to whisper a little bit louder, I really needed to get that straight, "Yes...? Or no...?"

And ... ugh?!

"I can hear you just fine,"

So she really can listen?!

How can she even talk?!

She doesn't have any mouth!

That was a shock.

It didn't last long before 'she' repeated, "I can hear you just fine, princess," Calming turned his face over to me, "What is it?"

"Bruh."

Freaked me out for nothing.

"Is everything okay, princess?"

"Quiet! I'm just trying to get some sleep, duh!"

Well.

Guess I was just being tired, after all.

Super, super tired.

Or was I?
