*Rainelle’s POV

It was fun to grill and eat meat alone with Karmeut on the lakeside where there was no one else. Even when I ate the meat only with the bread that I brought, it tasted much better than usual.

"Delicious."

“Yes, it is delicious.”

"It's not much compared to what we eat at the Imperial Palace, but it's amazing that it's so delicious, isn't it?"

Karmeut chuckled at the remark.

“It may be because it was meaningful that cooked it ourselves.”

"Well, the Imperial Palace prepares everything. Of course, it's not that it's not delicious, but..."

“Isn’t this kind of thing good sometimes?”

"Yes."

I nodded.

It was good to be served by others, but it was also good to do something yourself like this. I don't know if it's because it's been a while.

I put the well-roasted meat on the bread and handed it out to Karmeut.

"Open up, Karmeut."

Karmeut opened his mouth and took a big bite.

"It's delicious. All the more so since you feed it to me."

"That, cough, of course I can feed you. You’re my husband, right?"

As I said the word ‘husband’, heat rushed to my cheeks, but I steadfastly ended my words.

Karmeut smiled and replied,

“It is also a husband’s wish for his wife not to do difficult things.”

As he said that, I averted my eyes. Karmeut chuckled.

Whoa. Sure, Karmeut did take really good care of me...

Karmeut said as he put another piece of wood into the fire,

"Rainelle."

"Yes?"

“Can you put me on your back and fly one more time?”

I turned my eyes at those words.

"...One more time?"

“If you say no, I have no intention of forcing you.”

Karmeut's quick addition made me let out a small laugh.

“There is nothing hard about that. But I think it's dangerous because there's no saddle."

"Doesn't it feel stuffy when you put on the saddle?""

"It’s better than putting Karmeut in danger. That's why I'm wearing the saddle all the way here."

Having said that, I was very happy. That's why I said while gently shaking the tips of my wings,

"...But I'm glad. Karmeut asked me to go on a date with him."

"...Really?"

"Yeah. Flying in the sky is really cool and fun. You seem to like it so you ask for a ride again. It makes me happy."

At those words, Karmeut let out a long sigh.

"...thank God. I was a little worried that maybe I was being pushy.

"Not at all! How fun it was to fly with Karmeut!"

I said so while flapping my wings. Karmeut gave a small smile.

"I'd love anything as long as I’m with you."

At that, my face flushed red.

...I-it's not fair to suddenly jump in like this!

"...Really, you’re so unfair. If you say that, it's really..."

"You don’t like it?"

“I, I don’t hate it, but…”

Karmeut laughed. Then he said while lightly pinching my cheek,

“Rainelle is shy.”

"...Karmeut is sly."

"I'm only doing this to you. Because you're so pretty and lovely."

At that, my face turned redder and I turned my head away. Then, pretending not able to win from his act of gently hugging me from behind, I hid my wings and quietly embraced him.

"From now on, don't be self-conscious and just be comfortable."

"...Are you talking about turning into a crow or a big bird?"

“Yes. Isn’t the human appearance uncomfortable for you?”

I couldn't lie in front of Karmeut who asked a question with a very serious attitude. So I quietly nodded his head and said,

“...The crow form is the most comfortable. "

“You can say that anyone else can’t tell because they don't know anything....But I can go back and forth between wolf and human form. I know it's more comfortable to be in the original form rather than the one that we can change into. So I want you to be more comfortable."

Without replying, I quietly hugged him and wiggled my fingers.

"Now we have many helpers, and the situation is stable. Of course, things can't always be at peace. That's what governing a country is like. ...But it's not like I can't make you feel comfortable.'

Saying that, Karmeut patted my back cautiously.

“Even if the empress takes on a different appearance, no one will say anything. I assure you.”

I didn’t deny Karmeut’s words, but I laughed lightly.

"You said it again."

"Because I don't want to lie to you."

“There were many times when we didn’t say anything in the past, right?”

"At that time, I was like that, since I was also weak."

Saying that, Karmeut gave his arms a little more strength.

"But it's different now. Not only me, but you're strong too. Enough to subdue the rampaging descendant of the Wolf."

I had nothing to say, so I laughed awkwardly. Then Karmeut smiled a little and buried his face in the nape of my neck. He snuggled.

"That's why I believe so. Of course, I always want to protect and protect you, but...”

"Yes, of course. But I am not a child."

"Yes, because you said that husband and wife should trust and respect each other."

Having said that, he continued,

"That's why I believe in you, Rainelle. Your strength and your actions as the empress."

I laughed my head off at the remark. I couldn't help laughing because I was embarrassed and tickled.

“I believe in Karmeut from the beginning.”

I felt Karmeut flinch at those words.

But when you think about it, isn't it natural?

“Birds are very wary. If you don’t trust them, they won’t go near you. And I believed in Karmeut from the beginning."

...At that time, rather than believing in Karmeut, it was more that I saw him as the only person who would pick me up and raise me beautifully! But...

"...I was also very curious."

My conscience pricked me a lot when I simply say I believed him, so I added that briefly, and Karmeut burst into laughter.

"... Haha. I should be grateful for that curiosity. If it wasn't for Rainelle's curiosity, I wouldn't be here."

"Isn't that something no one knows?"

"I've never been in such a tight spot. I mean it."

Smiling broadly, I leaned comfortably against Karmeut's body.

"I think I'm lucky too. Getting to know Karmeut."

"You think so?"

"Yeah. I appreciate Karmeut who treat me well... but I know there are many people who don't."

How nice it would be if there were only people who were not mean, behaved friendly, and took good care of wild animals approaching them. But there are many people who don't.

I'm sure there are people who will catch them and do harm. In addition, considering the background of this place (even though it is the background of the game), I could have been caught and sold, saying that I am strange, or I could have been killed simply because I was seen as unlucky.

Thinking so, meeting Karmeut was very fortunate for me as well.

"I'm thankful that you didn't judge. That's why I'm glad I met Karmeut."

Karmeut carefully hugged me. I quickly added, surrendering myself entirely to the more cautious hands,

"But it's not only that now. Karmeut even made crow as the national bird."

"My wife is a crow, after all."

"Yes, yes."

When I responded to Karmeut's words with a nod of my head, he lightly kissed me on the cheek.

"...then should we go back? I think the others are starting to worry."

"Yeah, let’s do that. Lord Windster couldn't accompany us, so he must be pretty upset."

"If you say so, I feel a little sorry for him."

Saying that, Karmeut laughed and stood up. I quickly followed him and got up to help cleaning up.

The fire remaining in the firewood was completely extinguished, and the bones were gathered well and buried.

Now, I was about to change into a crow to leave, but Karmeut started saying,

“Rainelle, would you like to ride on my back when we return?”

"Huh? Karmeut's back?"

"Yes, I want to let you ride and run once. Since I came all the way here on your back."

At that, my eyes lit up. Of course, I had hugged him and slept as he used his wolf form many times, but since I had never ridden on his back for long distances, I was honestly looking forward to it.

"Okay!"

Karmeut smiled. Then he changed into his wolf form.

The large golden wolf was even bigger than when he first awakened. It used to be big, but should I say it's almost the size of a bull now?

The wolf affectionately nudged with his snout and stuck out his tongue, carefully licking my cheek. I laughed at his action and hugged his neck tightly.

As I buried my head in the soft, fluffy golden fur and rubbed it, Karmeut carefully tapped his tail while grunting.

I loosened my arms and took a step back, then Karmeut fell flat on his stomach the floor.

After I carefully climbed onto his back, I felt him stand up cautiously.

I nodded my head at Karmeut's behavior of alternately glancing at me and the nape of his neck as he threw his eyes this way. I gripped his mane tightly.

He sniffed for a moment, then started walking slowly forward.

"Oh, wow..."

Perhaps trying to give me time to adjust, he slowly walked along the lakeside. I looked around as I braced myself for his swaying movements.

It was a different feeling from flying. I'm not walking myself, but it still feels like I'm walking…?

However, it was still different than riding a horse. Horse made the sound of a horse's hooves and there was a rattling feeling. However, perhaps because Karmeut was a wolf, he was more flexible, gentle, and quiet.

"I'm used to it now."

Saying that, I gently tapped him on the nape of his neck, and Karmeut began to increase his speed little by little.

"Wow, wow...! Karmeut, faster!"

Excitedly, I urged Karmeut, and Karmeut, too, seemed excited and began to run at faster speed.

Although it was quiet, I had to tighten my hold while riding on the back of Karmeut, who ran faster than a horse. But the feeling was very good.

"It's different from mine! Exciting!"

Watching Karmeut vigorously wagging his tail, I promised myself that I would ask for a ride again when the opportunity arises.

It's such a waste to do this just once! It's so fast and exciting!

*Rainelle’s POV

I was flying with Karmeut excitedly (although Karmeut ran, of course), then we took a short break. Sitting with him on a rock near the lake.
"...Caw? (Huh?)"

I tilted my head in wonder as birds suddenly flocked over.

I didn’t call them, though?

The birds circled around for a moment as if they were wary of the wolf-shaped Karmeut. When I signaled to the birds that it was okay with a cry, they landed nearby.

I flinched for a moment at the eyes of birds looking at me with sparkling eyes, like chicks looking at their mother. But soon the birds in groups of twos and threes began to drop something in front of me.

The little birds put down small berries or edible mushrooms, while the big birds put down what seemed to be fish, shiny stones, pretty flowers, or herbs.

"Caaw? (Is this a gift?)"

“Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu! (It's a gift!)

“Peep, peep! (A gift for the Queen!)”

“Chirp, chirp chirp! (I hope you're happy!)”

I was a little moved by the behavior of the birds chirping and shining eyes.

Karmeut was quietly watching, but he was tilting his head in wonder.

"Caw! (Thank you!)"

“Tweet tweet tweet! (The Queen is happy!)

“Pirorororo! (She said thank you!)

The behavior of the birds chirping and dancing when I said thank you was very cute. The big ones were relatively calm... but I could still see them fluffing their feathers and flapping their wings with joy.

"Caw, caw, caw, caw. (You don't have to bring anything like this anymore.)"

- Beep? (Why?)

- Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu? (Aren’t you happy?)

"Caw, caaw. (I don't want to take away what you guys should eat.)"

At that, the birds looked at each other's faces and chirped.

“Kuruk, kkuuuu! (Then I won't bring it!)”

“Pirororororo! (Call me anytime!)

“Tweet tweet tweet! (It's good to see the Queen!)

With that, the chirping birds spread their wings and soared into the sky. It was spectacular to see dozens or hundreds of big and small birds flying up.

After looking at the feathers falling from the sky for a while, I then turned to look at Karmeut.

Karmeut got up and was looking at the fish and small gifts the birds had brought. Then he suddenly returned to his human form.

"Rainelle, can we talk for a minute?"

Hearing that, I changed into a human form and said,

"Yeah, why? This, the birds brought me these things as a present.”

"It seemed so. Speaking of which, wouldn't it be better if you happily accept what they brought you?"

I immediately understood what Karmeut meant when he said that while curving his eyes.

"...You want to eat this with me?"

“Yeah, it looks like it will be quite delicious if we clean it up and eat it.”

"...firewood?"

"There are many things nearby that can be used as firewood. We’ll need fire. Can I ask Rainelle to do it?"

"Yes, of course."

For me, who was empowered by the Black Bird flying high in the sky, making a fire was a simple matter.

When I nodded, Karmeut stood up.

"Then wait a moment. I'll bring some firewood."

“Karmeut, wait.”

"Yes?"

Karmeut blinked when I called out to him. I gave him a small smile and said,

"I'll bring the firewood."

“...Rainelle?"

"Yeah, it'll be fast if I go back to the villa after transforming into a big bird, right? …It will also be easier to carry things..."

At that, Kamut nodded his head.

"I didn't think of that part."

"Yes."

"Then can I ask you to take care of that? I'll be preparing the rest here."

"Sure. I'll be back soon!"

Saying so, I transformed into a large figure and immediately flew up.

If it was to roast the food the birds gave me, a big bundle of firewood seemed to be enough.

I'll have to ask for salt and spices too, since it would taste better that way.

Thinking so, I quickly flew towards the villa.

It didn't take long for me to return to Karmeut's side with a bunch of firewood in one foot and a basket of salt, spices, bread, and drinks in the other.

Meanwhile, Karmeut was washing his hands in the lake, as if he had already finished preparing.

"...are you already done?"

"You're quick, Rainelle."

"Because it's fast when flying. By the way... Karmeut, I had thought this the first time we met, but surprisingly you know how to do these things?"

Honestly, if you think about it for a bit, what's the point of the prince catching and slaughtering an animal? It's normal to eat things that others have perfectly prepared.

To my question, Karmeut answered with a smile.

“When I was learning swordsmanship, I was with the knights. When we camped, I learned this and that.”

“…The knights let you do something like that?”

"I asked for it. I thought I might use the skill someday."

Saying “It came in handy when we first met, and now I can use it again,” Karmeut smiled lightly.

“Rainelle, can you light a fire here?”

"Yeah, I got it."

Gathering some of my power, I touched the firewood that Karmeut had piled up nicely. Then, a crackling sound and smoke started to come out, and soon it caught fire.

"You didn't even learn magic, but it is so easy for you to light a fire... That’s amazing."

"It’s not a big deal."

"It's amazing because it's something I can't do."

Saying so, Karmeut began grilling the well-prepared fish and meat. I sat down next to him and put the fruit the birds had picked into his mouth.

"Thank you, Rainelle."

The appearance of Karmeut, who curved his eyes beautifully, was very dazzling, so I felt good.

"I told the chef and he brought me some bread and drinks. Let's eat together when the cooking is finished."

"That's a good idea."

Karmeut continued to grill the meat, sprinkling it with salt and spices. The smell of roasting meat was quite nice.

“...Pfft.”

"Huh? Rainelle?"

"No, we're the emperor and the empress. But to eat the meat roasted over a fire just the two of us in an empty place like this… Wouldn't it be surprising if someone saw?"

Thinking about our current situation, it was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh.

Karmeut chuckled as if he agreed.

"Haha... that's for sure. People like us usually order other people to do it."

“I like this though. It reminds me of when I was alone with Karmeut in the forest."

Karmeut laughed lightly.

"So do I. And it was nice to run like a wolf."

“You looked like you were having fun.”

"Rainelle seemed like that too."

Saying that, Karmeut slowly turned the meat skewer.

“Just running without thinking about anything, it felt like my heart was going to explode.”

"Really?"

"...I didn't even think about it before, but unexpectedly, it seems like I was under a lot of stress while working."

Seeing Karmeut smiling bitterly, I put my hand on his shoulder. Then he lightly patted the back of my hand and said,

"It's okay. It's an obligation as the emperor."

“But I hate seeing Karmeut have a hard time.”

"I hate it when you're having a hard time too. That's why I work harder, and we came here to enjoy a vacation together."

Karmeut laughed. In the end, he always showed a smile to me. He was angry sometimes, but only when he was worried about me.

"...That's why I think Kamut is cool."

I mean it. This is why Karmeut looks so cool, great, and... lovely.

Thinking so, I kissed him briefly on the lips. I saw his golden eyes widen in astonishment at the light touch on his lips.

"You’re wonderful, Kamut."

Karmeut blinked his eyes slowly and looked at me ceaselessly. Then he smiled quietly and kissed me lightly.

"...Really, Rainelle.”

With a smile that showed helplessness, his lips lightly touched mine and then lifted gently. His eyes were burning more brilliantly than fireworks.

“I always think so, but you are really lovely.”

Even after our marriage, I always heard these words. But every time I heard them, I was tickled by a feeling of embarrassment.

And so, I put a fruit into my mouth.

Then Karmeut chuckled and whispered, kissing me on the cheek and nose,

"Let's eat first and continue later."

I was momentarily anxious at those words.

“…what are we going to do after eating?”

"Well?"

Karmeut's grin was somehow dangerous.

"Maybe what Rainelle thinks of is right."

At those words, my body trembled. At the same time, I was embarrassed to raise my head with the feeling of anticipation.

“Well? What is it?”

"Do you want to hear it through my mouth?"

I puffed out my cheeks at Karmeut's smirk.

"Karmeut!"

"I mean, I won’t let you sleep tonight."

Whether or not it was a joke, Karmeut's eyes were no joke when he spoke that calmly.

I turned away my head at that gaze and sighed.

I even took out my wings and gently covered my face.

Then he heard a chuckle. It seemed like he was making fun of me, but I was too shy to look directly at Karmeut.

Uu, of course, since we became a married couple, we can do things, but...! It's another matter to hear it openly!

Even if it's just the two of us, that kind of, that kind of---!

As my mind was filled with such thoughts, I covered my burning cheeks with my hand, then I felt a hand gently touch my wing.

"It's all roasted, Rainelle."

"Uh, huh? Yes!"

When I folded my wings in surprise, I was shocked to see Karmeut's face right in front of me.

Before I could pull my head back, Karmeut already cupped my cheeks with both of his hands and kissed me on the lips.

Slowly, but firmly, our lips overlapped, and my mouth opened as my body weakened from all the licking.

As I always thought, Karmeut was good at everything. Kisses, and other things.

*Rainelle’s POV

Thinking so, I glared at Karmeut, but Karmeut suddenly transformed into a wolf.

Karmeut, who had become a dashing, golden-colored large wolf, quietly looked at me, then put his paws together politely and punched his own face.

“Ung!”

Oh really! What is that?! You're cute! Like a puppy punching their face to admit to doing something wrong, what the heck! Cute!

No, no! Don't be fooled by that cuteness! I'm angry!

"Kak! (Humph!)"

As I turn my head, a groan followed. Glancing back at the sound, I only moved my eyes and looked at Karmeut.

Karmeut was sitting in front of the closet, licking his snout while wagging his tail. Then, when I seemed to be looking at him, he pretended to be pitiful, drooping the corners of his eyes and whimpering.

I felt a little weak at the attitude.

Should I just forgive him?

It was the moment I was thinking like that, *Knock, knock*

I heard knocks.

At that sound, Karmeut returned to his human form. He opened the door and it was a lady-in-waiting who appeared, and she seemed to have brought tea and refreshments.

"Rainelle, let's eat cookies and make up. I’m the wrong one."

Karmeut seemed sincere when he said that, and it was a waste of time to keep getting angry. So, I came down, pretending he didn't win.

No, no! I didn't come down pretending to let go of my anger because I coveted cookies! ...Really! "Is it delicious, Rainelle?"

When Karmeut broke a cookie by hand and offered it to me, I accept it happily and nodded my head.

"Caw! (Delicious!)"

Wow, how long has it been since I ate a cookie in the form of a crow? I didn't even think about it when I was an empress!

I hummed, bobbing my head in a good mood. Then Karmeut looked at him and asked,

“Are you a little less angry now?”

At that, I nodded my head vigorously, which made him let out a sigh of relief.

"That’s a relief. Sorry, Rainelle. I won't talk about bugs anymore."

His appearance made me feel a little awkward. I didn't expect him to be feeling so sorry.

So I changed into my human form and sat down next to Karmeut. I could sense him flinching and looking at me.

"It's okay, I forgive you."

"...really?"

"Honestly, I was angry, but half of it was a joke... More than anything, we came here to relax."

As I said “So let's have fun,” I leaned my head on Karmeut's shoulder. Then I felt a reflexive stroke of my hair.

"Yes, let's have fun and relax.”

"I'm comfortable and happy to go back to being a crow, but what about Karmeut?"

"Me? Well..."

Karmeut was silent for a moment, lost in thought. But not long after. He laughed quietly while stroking my hair.

"I’m happy to be alone with Rainelle."

Embarrassed by the words, I slightly twisted my body.

"What is that."

“Really. It's because I don't have as much free time as I did when I was the crown prince.”

Saying so, he kissed my cheek. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the touch, then I said,

"...To be honest, even back then, Karmeut was already busy."

"Ah, hmm......"

"I remember that you worked so hard to succeed to the throne..."

At that, Karmeut slowly avoided my gaze, then I burst into laughter.

"It's okay, I like such Karmeut."

"...Rainelle?"

"Working a lot to fulfill a responsibility. That's cool."

I know that being responsible can be difficult at times. Especially if it's a ruler who leads a country.

Since Karmeut is the emperor now, he is in a position where no one dares to say anything even if he throws everything away and just plays around.

So, it was wonderful to see him focusing on his duties and sticking to his work.

"I’m always grateful that you care about me even though you're so busy. That's why I like Karmeut."

Saying so, I took out his wings and wrapped them around Karmeut. Then Karmeut smiled and hugged me gently.

"I like you like that."

Hearing that, he burst into laughter. Knowing that he liked it, he couldn't help but laugh too.

"Then what shall we do now? What do you want to do, Rainelle?"

"Um..."

I thought for a moment.

Since we are here to play, what can we do here...?

“I want to go for a walk with Karmeut.”

"A walk? Will that be all right?"

"Karmeut in the form of a wolf, and I in the form of a crow!"

Karmeut widened his eyes. Then he smiled a little and nodded his head.

"Yes, then let’s do that."

“Yayy! ...Oh. Wouldn't that makes it difficult for the escorts?"

What I felt while staying in the Imperial Palace as the empress was that it was difficult not only for the maids or ladies-in-waiting who always have to follow me around and serve me, but also for the escort knights.

Especially in the case of the escort knights, they almost didn't want to leave me and Karmeut even for a moment like a shadow after Namuel’s incident...

Karmeut laughed.

"Rainelle, aren't you forgetting something?"

"Huh? What?"

"Rainelle is the queen of all birds."

"...Huh? What do you mean?"

As I tilted her head in puzzlement, Karmeut kindly added:

"Why don't you ask the birds to look around and confirm if the area is safe?"

"Ah!"

"Besides, if you change into a big figure, most monsters won't dare to come close."

My eyes lit up at those words. What made me happy more than anything was that Karmeut believed in me.

I was very grateful to him for believing that I was a strong figure.

"...Of course, I don't want you to be in danger."

Karmeut laughed again when I told him that.

“Karmeut, I also solved Namuel’s incident.”

"Do you know how surprised and anxious I was at that time? Fortunately, you were safe..."

“I want to tell Karmeut about that. Karmeut almost died then.”

At that, Karmeut put on a troubled expression and went quiet. Karmeut’s situation was much more dangerous then, and he was really close to dying.

"Then let's protect each other. If either one gets hurt or is in danger, we should defend each other."

Karmeut nodded at my words.

"Yeah, all right. Of course."

After he answered like that, laughter leaked out of me for no reason. Was it the same for Karmeut?

He too chuckled.

"Then shall we prepare to leave?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words were uttered, I transformed into a crow and landed on Karmeut's shoulder.

He smiled at my actions, stroked my back a few times, and left the room.

...As expected, the escort knights seemed to have a lot to say.

"It's dangerous, Your Majesty."

...Look, as expected.

Thinking so, I looked at Galenos.

 

*3^rd person POV

Galenos alternately looked at Karmeut and the crow on his shoulder with a serious expression, then he opened his mouth,

"Taking a walk around the lake alone with Her Majesty the Empress..."

"Sir Windster."

"It's safe around the villa. But if you go as far as the mountains..."

“Sir, I am well aware of your loyalty. But... have you forgotten what the Empress is?"

Galenos looked at her as if he was momentarily at a loss for words. At his action, she spread her wings and flew up slightly, landing on Galenos' shoulder.

Then she spread one wing and patted Galenos on the head. Galenos let out a long sigh and murmured,

"Your Majesty the Empress..."

"Caw?"

As if she knew nothing, she tilted her head and looked at him. Galenos wiped his face.

"...I understand. I'll be waiting."

"It's because of you that we can go out with peace of mind, Sir Windster."

Saying so, Karmeut patted Galenos on the shoulder. Then, Galenos sighed again, looking a little, no, looking pitiful.

 

*Rainelle’s POV

But I still want to roam freely together with Karmeut! I came here on vacation after all!

...Furthermore, although I made the offer, Karmeut accepted it!

While making such an excuse inside, I patted Galenos a few more times before moving back to Karmeut's shoulder.

As soon as I sat on his shoulder, Karmeut smiled and caressed my back. Then he headed straight outside.

---Somehow, I think I heard Galenos sighing from behind, but…

Let's pretend I didn't hear it. It's too much of a waste to give up this outing.

While I was thinking about that, Karmeut arrived near the lake before I knew it. There was a lake right next to the villa, so we could arrive right away.

"Rainelle."

When he called out, I quickly spread my wings and flew up. Then Karmeut changed into a wolf form.

The golden, gorgeous wolf sniffed and snorted briefly, sticking out his tongue and licking his snout once. Then he looked this way.

"Caw."

At the wolf's behavior, I briefly waved the tips of my wings and landed on the wolf's head. Then I could see the wolf's tail wagging vigorously.

"Cow, caw, caw!"

As I flew forward with a cheerful cry, the wolf ran behind me. Then, uhh, he caught up quickly.

"Caw? (Already?)"

Oh, he’s fast.

As if he knew my mind, the wolf jumped up and panted lightly as if playfully, then kicked off the ground and started running straight ahead.

I couldn't lose to Karmeut, so I gave strength to my wings and flapped them vigorously.

The air around the lake was cool. And it was wonderful to see the wolf’s golden fur shined even more beautifully in the sunlight reflected on the surface of the water.

As expected, it's a fraudulent beauty!

He's cool even in his human form, but he's so beautiful in his wolf form too! That's a scam, a scam!

Thinking so, I grumbled inwardly. Then, wanting to play a joke, I flew over to the wolf's head, grabbed the wolf's fur slightly with my foot, and then released it.

"Kreung?"

At my action, Karmeut let out a small cry and tilted his head. After that, he seemed to be smiling.

"Caw!"

Then he jumped so fast that I was frightened and had to increase my altitude.

Ooh, I was surprised!

After startling me, Karmeut paused in place as if he told me it was a joke, then wagged his tail slowly.

Seeing that, I landed on the wolf's head. Then I poked the wolf's nose with my beak.

I flinched and flapped my wings when he licked his maw. Then he wiggled his tail once before starting to run again.

Karmeut, you look so excited.

It made me feel better to see Karmeut running while wagging his tail excitedly, like a puppy rolling in the snow.

This is good.

Since Karmeut was originally a human who then can turn into a wolf, I thought he wouldn't enjoy it very much. But looking at it like this, I realized that it wasn't like that.

I'm glad we came to play.

Karmeut is excited, and I am also happy to be able to spread my wings wide and fly happily for the first time in a long time.

While thinking so, I flew over Karmeut's head. No need to worry about safety. Even now, some birds constantly chirped to let me know if there was anything dangerous around us.
