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

“Guru Guru Guru Ruu (I made this, so I’ll give it to you!)”

“Yuin, did you get it?”

“Guru Guru Ruru Ruru Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (yes, with my brother!!)”

　Yuin, one of the baby griffons, looked proud in the morning and gave me an ornament made by combining tree branches and tying them together with string. It is in the shape of a house. Apparently he made an ornament that couldn’t fit in my hands for some reason.

　Brothers Rion and Yuin seem to have developed a passion for making things ever since they made the baskets to transport the beastmen, and they seem to be having fun making all kinds of things. At first, I was making things that I didn’t really understand, but as I spent more time in the beastman village, I realized that figurines were also good! As if he remembered this, he made it deftly. The siblings seemed to be getting along well as they were making things, so seeing her mother Wannon looking at her with kind eyes gave me a warm feeling.

“thank you”

“Guru Guru Ruru, Guru Guru Lu (I’m glad you like it! I’ll make more)”

　After Leon said that, he was taken aback.

“Guru Guru Lu Lu Lu (I forgot to wash!)”

　Yuin came from outside, so there were footprints on the floor of the house. Yuin has a surprised look on his face. He had promised to wash his feet before entering the house to avoid getting any dirt on them, but it seems he forgot to do so. There’s something cute about Yuin making a face that says she’s done it. She looks at me as if she’s going to be angry.

“From now on… be careful.”

“Guru Guru Guru (Sorry)”

“Okay…I’ll go outside. I’ll clean.”

　For now, I told Yuin to go outside so that the floor wouldn’t get any more dirty, and Yuin obediently went outside. I draw water from the well outside my house and wash my face with it. After that, I dampened a rag with a little water and wiped away Yuin’s footprints.

“Gurgururu? (Aren’t you angry?)”

“Hmm, as long as you’re careful, it’s fine.”

“Guru Gururu! (Be careful!)”

　As I was busy wiping the footprints on the floor, Yuin, who was peeking inside the house from outside, spoke to me. She isn’t particularly angry.

　After that conversation, the day started.

　Life in the beastman village is fun. The people I love laughed at me and showed me that I was important. That makes me happy. I feel happy right now because my heart is warm and I am able to live a life filled with joy every day.

　Warm and warm. I love everyone. every day is fun.

　When I felt that, my mouth unintentionally loosened.

　I wonder if there is anything I can do for everyone. So I’m willing to help in any way I can. There’s not much I can do, but I want to do it for everyone I love.

　In the village where I was born and raised, when I was forced to do something, I simply did it, but it’s fun to do it for everyone who says, “Thank you.” I’m happy to see you laugh, so I hope I can help you in any way I can.

　At the pharmacist’s sister’s place, she is learning little by little about collecting and compounding. It seems that I have an aptitude for sacred magic, but I don’t have the power to use it freely at the moment. If that’s the case, you’d better learn a lot from the medicine woman. Then, when someone gets hurt, I think I can help them.

　I also learned that medicinal and poisonous herbs are surprisingly similar, so I have to be careful. He showed me the real thing, but to be honest, it’s hard to tell the difference. I knew the difference when they told me it, but it was a difference I wouldn’t have understood if it hadn’t been said. Apparently you can tell by looking at the underside of the leaves. I thought it was amazing that the pharmacist could discern such things.

　As I was learning about medicinal herbs, I realized that there are a surprising number of things in this world that are poisonous to humans. I can’t help but feel lucky that I didn’t go out without food and didn’t eat anything that would upset my stomach.

　When I go into the forest to collect medicinal herbs, I go with the griffons. But I’m worried about the kids alone, so the adult beastmen come with me. One of the Gryphons and Seafo will follow me, but I’m worried.

　Dong-gu came with me today.

　Dong-san was one of the first beastmen to come to the griffon’s nest.

　He has a big body and great muscles.

　Also, since he is one of the few who can use body strengthening magic, he has been learning it recently when Dong-gu is not busy.

　Today, Wannon, Reimer, and one of the baby griffons, Rumiha, came with me.

　I got on top of Raymer and moved.

　However, they are not flying and are moving on the ground together, so Dong-gu is walking alongside them.

　Look for a place where medicinal herbs grow, and when you find them, get off the Raymer and collect them. It’s important to distinguish between medicinal and poisonous herbs, but the quality of the herb depends on how you collect it, so be careful and use a knife to avoid damaging the herb.

　Meanwhile, Dong-gu doesn’t speak.

　Dong-gu is a quiet person. So Dong-gu and I create a space where we are almost completely silent.

　While I am gathering, Mr. Dong-gu keeps an eye on those around him, and he also trains himself with the ax he uses when hunting. It looked really cool when a big guy wielded an ax.

　Previously, when I said, “Cool, that’s fine,” Dong-gu looked a little embarrassed and turned his head away. My ears were responding a bit. Beastmen have ears and tails that make it easy to understand their emotions.

　Raymer is on our side. However, Rumiha jumped out and said she wanted to take a walk, so Wannon followed after her, so the two of them aren’t here right now.

　Continue collecting silently.

　I failed quite a bit. If you can’t do it well, you may end up with a poorly made medicinal herb. Someday, I want to become even better at it. The medicinal herbs that the pharmacist’s sister collected were very beautiful. I want to be able to do it like that too.

　Sometimes when I did something well, I felt happy. When I silently showed Mr. Dong-gu the medicinal herbs I had made, he nodded and patted my head. Even though we didn’t speak the same language, I felt like Dong-gu and I were able to understand each other somehow.

　So, I continued collecting like this for a while.

“Guru, guru, guru (Lelunda, I picked it up!)”

　While saying this, Rumiha jumped out of the grass. Behind him is Wannon with a troubled expression on his face. Wannon, floating briefly in the air, grabbed a person with his front paws.

“people?”

“Guru Guru Guru Ruru (I followed Rumiha a long way and she collapsed)”

“hard”

“Guru Guru. Guru Guru Lu Lu (That’s right. It looks like he’s still alive, so I brought him here).”

　The person who seems to be exhausted seems to be still alive. Then I have to help you.

　Round and round.

　Just when I thought I had to help, I heard a loud noise. Stomach sounds? I was surprised at how big it was.

　Is this person hungry? I guess that’s why I fell down.

　Having come to that conclusion, I hurried back to the village and decided to give them something to eat. Mr. Dong looked a little reluctant to see that the person he had picked up was a human, but in the end he picked up the person and took him to the village.

　――――――The girl and the things she found

　(Probably, while the miko girl was collecting food, the griffon picked up the person.)
