Thanks to that, the tears that were about to spill withdrew.

The children sobbed, their shoulders trembling as if they were about to cry for me.

“Zion, I’m sorry.
From now on, I will respect Sister’s ideal type.”

“No, I’m more sorry.
Her ideal type is weird.”

“I’ll tell my brother to cry well…”

“Who even has an ideal type of a man who cries prettily…”

“Stop…!”

I hurriedly hugged the children.

The children, who buried their faces in my arms, sobbed and confessed each other’s faults, but I desperately wanted them to stop.

Suddenly I heard a faint laugh.

“······.”

I turned my head stiffly.

Noelier was looking at us with a smile.

When our eyes met, his laughter slowly stopped.

“······.”

As expected, he heard everything.

Looking at his amused face, I was even more embarrassed.
My face became hot.
If there was a rat hole, I would hide there.

Seeing my reaction, Noelier hesitated a little and swept his mouth.

“…I’m sorry.
It’s a little strange.”

“…….”

My taste is a little strange…

I turned my head without answering.

The thought of dying filled my head.

In matters like this, it was best to change the topic of the conversation.

I patted the children on the head.

“Come now, let’s stop.
Let’s go back home.”

The sobbing children nodded slowly.

“You should say thank you to Brother, too.”

The children approached Noelier as if waiting on my words.
Noelier flinched.

Zion, with a Crucian carp’s eye*, said with a smile.

(TL/N: See cursed images below.)

“Thank you, Brother.
We would have been in big trouble without you.”

Noelier’s eyes trembled slightly.
He licked his lips for a moment, then he smiled faintly.

“…No, I’m more thankful,” he said and stroked Zion’s hair.

Zion sniffled and clung to Noelier’s leg.
Rachel dug into Noelier’s arms and hid her face.

She seemed to like him more now, seeing as she hugged him well unlike before.

“Shall we go back now?”

Noelier nodded at my words. He held Rachel lightly.
No matter how small she is, it’s hard to lift a 10-year-old kid like that.
He didn’t even bat an eye.
Rachel also comfortably cuddled up to him.

“Wait.”

He stopped walking at my call.

The two red eyes met me.

I approached them.

To put on the cloak and the hood.

“…..Eve?”

The hood sloped down, vaguely caught at the crown of his head.
It was because his physique was too large.

Down down.

Noelier, who was looking at me, heard Rachel’s whisper and said, ‘Ah,’ then bent his knees.
Only then did we meet eye level.

Our faces were at lengths again.

“Pardon me.”

He trembled a bit, but I didn’t mind and put the hood on him securely.

“This is the North, and I still want to live.”

“……..”

I said that and smiled a little.

It meant that I wanted him to hide his identity even if he saw me as human.
Noelier seemed to understand what I meant.

He nodded slowly.

“Our mouse drops, too.”

The dragon siblings were looking at me with blushing cheeks and slight blank faces.
I even put Rachel’s hood on properly.

“Now, let’s go.”

So, I left the alley with a wolf and two dragons.

Then Noelier stopped walking.

“What’s wrong?”

I turned to look at him.

“There’s something Rachel left there.”

“Did you leave something behind?”

“Didn’t you, Rachel?”

At Noelier’s words, Rachel silently nodded.
She seemed fine being called Rachel now.

“What is it?”

“It’s a secret.
I won’t tell you.”

Rachel shook her head shyly like a girl hiding a secret.
I smiled and nodded as if I understood.

So, they went into the alley where the man was lying, and came back immediately.

“Did you find it?”

“No, I didn’t.
I must have lost it.”

Rachel looked sad as she said it.

“Shall we find it together?”

As I was about to enter the alley again, Noelier quickly blocked my way.

“There was nothing.”

“Maybe you couldn’t find it.
Maybe together…”

“Eve, let’s go back for now.
It has gotten dark.
There are children.”

Oops.

It was then that I realized our situation.

The children could not have been able to escape the shock from the junkie incident.

I nodded and followed him out of the alley.
