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

　Many beastmen greeted us. However, perhaps there are only wolf beastmen in this village, and everyone seems to have wolf ears and tails.

　The beastmen are paying attention to me. It’s a little scary to be seen like that. I’ve never been the center of attention in my life, so I’m honestly not used to it.

“……What should I do”

　Is it right to get down and say hello? How should I act in front of the beastmen? Honestly, I didn’t understand that. I was in trouble on top of Seafo.

　As I was doing that, Raymar and his friends lowered the cage carrying Athos and his friends. Perhaps because there were two of us on the train, it made quite a loud noise when we lowered it.

“Guru Guru Guru Ruuu (Praise me for carrying it properly)”

“Guru guru guruuu (yes, that’s right)”

　After Riluha and Kamiha put down their baskets, they approached me while chirping like that. Even an adult griffon has this cute side to it.

　”thank you”

　After thanking him, he pats Rilha and Kamiha’s heads several times while riding on Seafo. The two squealed happily.

　I thanked everyone and got off the Seafo.

　The assembled beastmen looked at me with somewhat surprised faces.

　I turned to the beastmen and said,

“I’m Lelunda.”

　First, let me introduce myself.

　Athos-san and others may have told me my name, but I thought I should say hello myself, so I said it.

“thank you”

　I say that and bow my head. The griffons and Seafo also imitated me and bowed their heads.

　And the beastmen began to panic.

“I can’t believe I bowed down to Gryphon-sama!”

“You don’t have to bow your head like that!!”

　I heard such a voice and realized that he was panicking because the griffons had bowed him down.

　Mr. Athos came down from the cage and took control of the situation. Athos is the head of this village. He didn’t know, so he was kind of surprised.

　After that, Athos-san and Gaius showed me around the village.

　It is said that this village was created by cutting down the forest. Partly because of that, once you step outside the village, you will find a vast forest spreading out. He said it was difficult because sometimes monsters would jump out from the forest.

　With those words,

“Could you please ask Gryphon-sama and the others to do something about these monsters?”

　That’s what I was told.

　That didn’t matter. Rather, I thought that since I was indebted to them, I should be willing to do such things.

“There are some people who have mixed feelings about letting Lelunda, Griffon-sama, and Skyhorse come here. I’m asking you to help us suppress those kinds of things.”

“…I’ll take care of you, so I’ll do it.”

　At that, Athos looked relieved.

　For the first time, I realized that maybe I was giving Mr. Athos a hard time because I selfishly said I wanted to come here. She said it without thinking it through.

“…I’m sorry it’s impossible.”

“Are you saying you want to come here? It was certainly a little hard to convince, but it’s advantageous for us to be able to interact with people who are liked so much by Lord Gryphon and Skyhorse, so we’re not that concerned about it.” You don’t have to grin.”

　That’s what he said when I apologized.

　I wanted to go to the village, so I just said I wanted to go.

　However, after thinking about it, it seems that Athos-san has accepted my offer.

　Adults seem to think about many difficult things.

“However, I won’t do anything bad to Lelunda. We wouldn’t like it if Gryphon-sama or Skyhorse became our enemy. Besides, Gaius likes you as well…”

“Dad, what are you talking about?”

“Why, you’ve been talking about Lelunda ever since.”

“…That’s because there’s no such person…”

　It seems like I won’t be bad because everyone is here. I liked the order in which I met everyone and then met the beastmen. I honestly can’t imagine what would have happened if it had been the other way around, but it might have been more difficult than it is now.

　I probably won’t die because if someone is about to use violence against me, it will be stopped, or food will be found outside, etc., but I probably wouldn’t have been as calm as I am now. unknown.

“My story…I’m happy.”

　As I listened to Athos and Gaius talk, I felt somehow happy thinking that Gaius was talking about me.

“Can me and Gaius be friends?”

　I don’t have any friends. I know the meaning of that word, and there were many people around my sister. The relationship between my sister and the children in the village seemed different from the one I had heard of as friends, but I think the children around her were probably friends.

　I couldn’t help but ask because I thought I might get my first friend.

“…Aren’t we friends anymore?”

“Is that so?”

“At least, I thought you could call me a friend.”

“…That’s right. I’m happy.”

“what?”

“My friend, it’s my first time.”

　That’s right. Gaius already considers me a friend. I was kind of happy when I thought of that.

　First time, friends.

　A feeling of happiness wells up in my heart.

　Athos-san and Gaius looked surprised at my words. Why are you surprised?
