The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Then we returned to the bird's nest. This time, instead of being grabbed by a bird, I was grabbed back by the phoenix. I wanted to see if the Phoenix could carry me, and there, yeah. I knew it was a little hard to get caught.

... but I don't know what to do. The birds want me to be a spiritual soul to protect this forest and fix its boundaries.

In that case, I think I'd better help. [M] The bird said, if I don't become a spiritual person, I will encounter bad things about myself, birds, Fai, Laocles, and Crowe.

But... in that case, the human drop out...

Mm-hmm.

And even now, the birds are pushing the goose and nuts against me. [M] I'm just saying eat fast.

... it seems that eating this increases its magic, makes it easier to become a spirit, and leaves people alone. Yeah, uh, I don't want to eat it, after all.

"Stop it for a second."

So once the birds stop coming... I'll make a suggestion.

"Um, can I talk to you for a second?

That's why I proposed a temporary truce to the birds. [M]

It seems that the eggs of the Spirit will not die unless they keep warming. Yeah. The book Faye brought me said that it can take a long time to hatch with magic. I mean, it's okay to leave it alone.

So I came home once. [M] Then there was Laocles, Mr. Crowe and the horses...

... the motor reacted a little differently.

"Um, what...?

The tempuras came around me, glad to slap their wings. [M] In that case, I still understand, but normally, unicorns who don't approach me that much also stop by in a strange blink. Soon I was surrounded by horses and couldn't move. [M]

"... what is this because my magic has increased?

When I think about it, the horses came to me because the birds made me eat tree nuts. Perhaps these horses like people with a lot of magic. Is that why you stopped by me...? No, but I also seem to miss Fai, and I don't think magic is the only problem.

"Corn, are you okay?"

Alicorn came along to scratch the horses apart, and Laocles, who was riding on the alicorn, looked worried about me.

"... I heard you were about to hatch Spirit Eggs."

"Yeah, I put it on hold. He's still human."

In the meantime, I'm still human. When I told her, Laocles looked relieved.

... but...

"But maybe we should be spirits."

Hey... I think we need to think about this.

Well, I think I have about three choices.

The first is the option of becoming a spiritual person. If you choose this option, I think this forest will probably remain peaceful. Maybe. No, I don't know what's in this Gomori.

... but of course, I don't know what it means to be a spiritual person.

The birds say they're human, but I can't believe one of them right now... because it's what the birds say. However, since there were humanoid spirits in the drawings, it is possible to be humanoid, I wonder. Maybe...

The second option is for someone other than me to become a Spirit.

It's just... yeah, it doesn't change that someone other than me will become a spirit, so maybe it doesn't really change that I will become a spirit.

In the first place, if the birds don't like it, they can't become spirits, so I find this difficult. The birds don't seem to hate Fay, Laocles, or Crowe, but they chose me to kidnap him even though he was with Laocles and Crowe.

Maybe there's something right about being a spiritual. This is... "fluffy" as Faye and Laocles say. No, I'd like to disagree about how fluffy I am.

The third option... is not to become a spirit like this.

It seems that the birds want me to be a spiritual person to maintain the boundaries of this forest, but if only I could do that, perhaps I don't need anyone to be a spiritual person. Instead, you must prepare something to replace the boundary, or you must think of a way to maintain the boundary without the Spirit.

... well, I don't have to think about it.

Probably the first correct answer.

I think I might as well be the Spirit as the birds want. [M] Eat the nuts, warm the eggs and hatch... I don't know what happens then. But it looks like this forest is safe and doesn't bother anyone else. I'm taking care of you in this forest, and I like this forest, so, well, I'd be glad if I could help.

It's just... I'm scared because I don't know what's gonna happen. I still have a little resistance to dropping out of the human race. The bird may ease your anxiety, but the bird is a bird. Detailed information is not available. There are limits to repeating questions that can only be answered with patience "yes" and "no".

Hmm...

That night.

I was holding onto the Phoenix's leg and flying in the night sky. [M] I couldn't sleep at all, so I thought I'd go and ask what was bothering me.

We're heading for the bird's nest.

In the nest of birds, there are still two chicks and one egg of the Spirit. And one giant bird.

When I went down to the nearby branch, the giant bear gummies cracked open one eye. [M]

"Good evening."

When I greeted him, the bird opened up a little bit and let me go into the nest.... um, excuse me.

It's warm in here.

Inside the nest, it is warm when warmed by the body temperature of the bird. Grass and bird feathers look like cozy beds. Yeah, I'm not uncomfortable.

"... I need to ask you something."

The bird twists its neck with its eyes peeled. What? I wonder.

"Well, do you think you're glad to be a spirit?

When I heard that, the bird blurred its eyes as neatly as it could. Then I twisted my neck to think a little, and finally nodded.

I see.

And nodded again.... I see.

"I thought you might be afraid to become something you're not."

If you keep asking, the bird leans again. And then you look like you don't know.... I wonder if it's a difficult story for birds.

"I'm afraid it'll change."

The bird also tilted its neck. But this time, after tilting, he thought a little bit, and then he gently leaned against me.

Fluffy, bird feathers touch your skin. Soft, fluffy and ticklish. It's still warm.

I was fluffy for a while, but then the bird showed me two chicks that seemed to be warming up under my stomach.

Two more chicks were dry and completely fluffy. It's a peacock. It's about the size of a cat, but this is cute.

The bird pushed the chick towards me, whimpering. It seems that the pushed chick woke up at that time, and half-baked with her eyes blinking when she fell asleep, came to me.

... two chicks fell into my arms.

"... so cute"

I wonder what to do with this. No, it's cute.

The bird nodded happily when it was in a bit of trouble holding the chick in its arms. Um...

Now you're nodding against the fact that chicks are cute?

When I asked again, I nodded again and again. Yeah, no, it's cute. What am I supposed to do with this?

When in trouble, the bird is fluffing up like a chick in my arm. [M] Is it an expression of affection? It's my own kid.

... ah.

I see. This chick is yours, isn't it? "

Keung, he replied positively. Yeah, okay. I see. What did this bird think that made me hold the chick? [M]

"Even if you become a spiritual person, you can do things like birds. Or are you saying that it's not going to be completely different?

I don't know what to say, but maybe that's what it is. That's what birds are trying to say. The bird nodded many times with a 'finally passed' look.

"... I see."

Well... it certainly turns out to be something that's not human, and I'm sure something will change in me.

But I don't think everything's going to change... yeah.

I think I might have stepped on it a little bit.

But before we go home, there's only one more thing. This is very important.

"I was wondering, was your body this big before you became a spirit?

The bird nodded proudly, spreading its wings.

"Attitude?

This time, she leans her neck with a face like, "I'm not a big person, but I'm not a big person." This guy.

But... yeah. I see.

This bird isn't huge because it's a spirit...

Yeah, I'm relieved. I see. There's no such thing as a giant spirits. That's good.

Then the phoenix grabbed me again and went home.... I thought it would be more difficult to fly by the phoenix, but there was such a strange feeling that my body would be lighter if the phoenix grabbed me, and it was not so difficult to support my weight with my own arm. Thank you, Phoenix. Nice to continue.

"I'm taking care of this forest."

Again, look at the forest from the front of the house.

There's a fountain, there's a house, there's a forest... there's horses, there's birds. I also grow bamboo.

Yeah, I guess I like it here.

I was here because I came here at first, but now I can probably go anywhere, and I still want to be here.

That's why I want to stay in this forest... and if I need it for this forest, I'll be a spiritual too. Mm-hmm.

"I thought I'd talk to you before I go."

In the morning, I reported to everyone at the breakfast table while eating the breakfast made by Mr. Crowe.

"I'll hatch the eggs of the Spirit."

"Eh, is that okay!?

Yeah, that's fine.

Faye rose to her seat, but when I answered clearly, she went back to her chair.

"... well, if that's what you decide, I won't stop."

Laocles looks a little worried as she says so. But I appreciate it if you don't stop me.

"I can't say anything, but, um, I'm a little tired. Looks like that bird will take you.... that bird is so cheerful."

Yeah. I think Claire's feelings are moderately good. It's not like I'm worried about something like this, but it's really nice to be "that bird is so cheerful."

"No... but are you sure? Even if you don't do it, there might be some other way..."

"Still, it doesn't change what I can do."

Of these, Faye may be the most worried. No, thank you, I know.

"I can do it, so I want to try it. I like this forest, and I'm glad I can work for what I like."

When I said that, Faye looked a little embarrassed, but still happy.

"Well, even if you don't have to do it, it doesn't seem like you're going to find another suitable candidate soon. As a bird, I'm glad you're the Spirit."

"Yeah, well... I'll do something about it while I teach the birds. And... look, if you don't have to do it, I want to try it extra. Because I love waste."

When I become a Spirit, I don't know what will happen to me... but I'm sure I'll get something.

"Eat waste and feed your heart."

The power of the Spirit and this forest feed my heart.

Then I went back to the bird's nest, where I decided to hug the eggs again.

"Well, I've decided to be a spiritual."

I told the bird that the bird expressed surprise or excitement by fluffing its wings upside down, then stopped by and rubbed against me.

"But I'm not from this world... okay? I don't know why I came to this world, and I don't remember. That's why I might have to go home suddenly, and maybe that's what I can't choose. But, as long as I can choose, I'll make sure to take over or replace it and then go home."

Next, check the disclaimer. The bird nodded with a strange face. In the meantime, that sounds good.

"And since I'm a stranger, I don't really understand the common sense of this world. Are you okay?"

The bird nodded with its chest high. Yeah. This bird certainly doesn't look like a common sense wind either. Are you okay with that?

"... I think I often get help in the first place. Ready?"

And the last question was answered with a jiaojing. Sounds like it's okay.

"Um... well, thank you very much."

I've been able to combine my consciousness with that of a bird, and now I'm finally getting into egg hugging.

Grab a pearl egg and hold it gently between your stomach and knee.

... and the bird looked very satisfied, and then flew away a bit and came back... and started throwing nuts at me. Yeah, will it come with a set after all?

"Well, that's fine. I'll eat it."

But I can't help but decide to turn it into a temperature suitable for embracing eggs. It seems that this is the expression of this bird's love, and eating it increases its magic.

Yeah. Thinking about it, it's good to have more magic. If you can be a good body even if you put out a big one, you can build a house and do whatever you want. After that, I was thinking of building a guest house somewhere in the neighborhood of Crowe's house, so it might be a good idea.

And, yes. You might be able to draw a big building, or you might be able to draw a big creature. You can paint landscapes to create incredibly beautiful landscapes.

It's purely fun.... yeah. I wonder what I'm going to draw.

While stroking the eggs, I fell asleep, so I decided to go to bed. [M] I feel like I can have a good dream now.

... especially in the evening without dreaming. Unexpected.

When I woke up, the birds were waiting, and I ate the nuts of the tree again. Hmm... isn't this going to taste a little better?

Maybe this is just the right way to hide the curry.

When I replace spirits, I want to do this with care for taste. [M] Yeah. Maybe this nut would be just right for the curry. Spicy, intense sweetness and bitterness, as well as a relaxed tongue feel, are accompanied by signs of deliciousness when put into the curry.

When we made curry together at the teacher's house, I tried to put a lot of things in the curry, but, well, it was generally fine except for bananas. Yeah. Uh, bananas didn't work. Because the fragrance is strong, I have a big fight with the curry. The teacher said, "Oh, my God! Bananas have the potential to beat curry and win! You bastard! Be honest and lose! '.

... in that case, this tree nut tastes good, but it has almost no fragrance, and I think it's just right for curry.

Then at night, in the morning.

When I woke up, the sun was already white and the trees in the forest were shining green. This bird's nest is in a slightly higher position, so it has a good view.

"... ah"

And while I was looking at the forest, there was a change in the eggs I was holding.

And there runs a muzzle on the surface, and the light leaks from it.... eh? Does this egg glow inside?

"Um, it's kind of glowing."

I asked the bird, worried that it wouldn't explode, and the bird woke up to watch the eggs together. As far as the birds are concerned, it seems that this egg is now normal.

... watching the eggs while nervously spreading.

And finally, as the egg grew bigger... the shell of the egg came off.

What came out of the egg was a semi-transparent, pearl-coloured... little, bird-like dragon, something more different... something like that.

The shape is not clear, it is semi-transparent and shiny, and I don't know.

But when it floats in front of me... all of a sudden, it rushes into my chest and disappears.

The mysterious creature that melted in my chest or was inhaled or disappeared like that never came out. [M]

... but I realized that maybe that was the Spirit Power.

After the mysterious creature disappeared, I felt like a warm thing spreading inside me.

... and that was it.

"... eh? Is this it?

I thought maybe there was something more, but it seemed that it was over. The bird nods satisfactorily, but I get a little warmer and that's all.

Um...

"Have I become a spirit?

When I heard it, the bird nodded happily and whistled.

Yeah, I think I've become a spiritual. I don't feel that way at all. I don't know what has changed. Um... just because you're not conscious, you've changed a lot? That scares me.

But I wish this was all done. Yeah, I'm not getting big, I can hold a pencil, I can hold a pencil.

As far as I can see myself in the bird's eyes, I don't think my figure will change. Yeah, good.

... but is this really okay?

Bewildered by myself, which hasn't changed much, the bird grabbed me and flew away. The only place to fly... is under a big tree, for example.

As the bird took me into the ruins, I entered the room where the deepest sphere of pearl light was floating on the pedestal.

Then gently suck on my wrist and pull it toward the sphere of light.

"Um, can I touch it?

When I heard it, I let go of my beak and cried, "Kyokyo." Apparently I will touch this. [M]

A little nervous, he confronted a sphere of pearl light.

A sphere of pearl light is a color that resembles something like a mysterious creature hatched from an egg earlier. I wonder if this is the power of the Spirit.

Touching the sphere of light while thinking a lot. I wonder if touching this will have any good effect on the boundaries of this forest.

... and suddenly the sphere of light began to shine strong.

The light is spreading.

It flows along the pedestal pattern and onto the floor. To the wall, to the ceiling.

And the light that spreads like this reaches into the woods... I guess it's a boundary that protects the woods. Probably.

At the same time, there was something... a forest in my head.

Like this, pom, in my head... there's a forest.

Forest. Uh, there's something. Birds? Ah, outside the woods...? Some of them look like deer. Uh, this must be it. I don't know. Have you become part of the woods? The woods themselves? Can you see it? No, I can't see it, but I can hear it... but I can't, uh, what is this? Seems like there's one more feeling inside of me that's not the five senses...

This is... uh, maybe, quite a bit of a human now.

Yeah, maybe, after all, it's not human anymore...
