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

Athos-san and Gaius showed me around a house. It’s a simple house made of wood. The entrance is large so that the griffons can enter. It seems that the house, which was originally vacant, has been made more comfortable to live in.

“thank you”

　I thanked him and went inside the house with Athos and Gaius. There is only the bare minimum in the house. However, I was happy just to be provided with a place to spend time like this.

　The baby griffons came inside together. Adult griffons have begun to build nests outside the house. Wannon stayed behind to watch the baby griffon and me, and the other five adult griffons flew off somewhere to build their nests.

　Even so, Raymer has golden fur, so I thought to myself as I watched it fly away.

　Seafo is relaxing outside the house.

“What about the Gryphons?”

“Building a nest”

“Really”

“Hmm. Gryphons, do you have names?”

　The reason I couldn’t help but say that to Athos-san was because Athos-san lumped all the griffons together as “Griffon-sama.” Each of the griffons has a name and is a separate entity.

“…Ah, that’s the name Lelunda is calling me.”

“Did Lelunda put that on you?”

　Athos and Gaius each speak.

“Hm, yeah.”

　Since it has a name, I thought I should call it by name. I also feel happy when my name is called. I wasn’t called upon much in the village. That’s why I think I’m happy when my name is called Lelunda.

　Athos-san and his friends said that they might be afraid of her, but since the baby griffons said, “Guru Guru Ruru (I want to be called by the name given to her by Lelunda),” they started calling her by her name.

　Later that day, I went back to the village to ask them to take care of me.

　The next day I stayed with Gaius.

　When I asked Gaius if there was anything I could do, he told me that since he was a child, I could help out in various ways. That’s why I decided to do various things to help the villagers. To be honest, he hasn’t had much interaction with people, so I was nervous to go and ask him to help me, but I thought I’d give it my best.

　But before that, Gaius took my hand and said he would introduce me to the children of the village. This is my first time walking with someone leading me by the hand.

　Since I met Gaius, there have been many firsts. If I hadn’t met Gaius, I might not be here right now. Since I sang a song with Seafo, Gaius got interested and came to see me, which led to us being together now. Coincidences are amazing.

　The beastman village was a village of about 30 people in total.

　Gaius told me, pulling my arm, that there were seven of them, including Gaius.

　There are six people, excluding Gaius.

　This seems like a large number to me.

　Gaius was my first friend. I wonder if all six of them can become friends? I wonder if my friends, who had no friends at all, will increase that much.

　friend. Just thinking about that word makes me feel excited. I feel so happy.

　I wonder if we can be friends.

　Gaius did, though. Will those six people become my friends?
