Faraway Survivor

Farah's POV

For some reason, I feel an urge to sneeze. I use both of my hands to cover my nose.

-Huh...Achiiii! (Farah)

Piyu and Kyu look at me worriedly because of the sudden sneezing. Did someone mention my name?

-Don't worry you too, I'm alright. (Farah)

However, the two don't seem to believe me. Kyu and Piyu come to my side and hug me with their small and fluffy body.

-Amooo~ (Farah)

-Kyuu!

-Piyuuuu!

The two of them must mistake that I sneeze because of the cold. So Kyu and Piyu have to provide me with warmth by hugging me like this. I can't help but hug them back with all my might.

-Ehehehe~ (Farah)

I enjoy the mofu mofu to my heart's content. However, Kyu and Piyu keep hugging me and show no sign of releasing me soon. I pat their heads and tell them.

-Moh, I'm fine now. I can't meet Lecia with others if you twos keep hugging me like this. (Farah)

-Kyuuu!

-Piyuuuu!

These two furballs become stubborn and refuse to separate from me.

-I will be late at this rate... (Farah)

But I don't want to push them forcefully since I don't want to hurt them.

-I have no choice then. (Farah)

I turn to Piyu and bend down.

-Piyuuuu?

I slowly place my forehead on Piyu and tell her.

-You see, I'm completely normal now. (Farah)

Piyu tilts her head as if she didn't understand my action.

-Piyuuuu?

Piyu suddenly puts out her tongue and licks my face. I can feel the wet and slippery feeling touch every corner of my face.

-It's really tickle, Piyu. (Farah)

Piyu continuously licked my face enthusiastically. She didn't stop until Kyu used her fluffy paw to push her away from me.

-Piyuuuu!

Piyu seems to be annoyed because of Kyu's action. She turns to her and jumps on her body.

-Kyuuuu!

If I leave them be, they will fight with each other again.

-Piyu! Kyu!

I call out to the two and stare at them in the eyes.

-If you guys keep behaving like that, I will hate you for real. (Farah)

The moment I told them that statement, the two stopped their fighting. Kyu and Piyu looked at me with puppy eyes. It's like they are asking me for forgiveness.

-Moh, I am no longer be angry with you two because of these cute faces. (Farah)

-Piyuuuu~

-Kyuuuuu~

The twos groan happily because of my reaction.

-Well, let's get to Lecia now. (Farah)

Since we are inside the valley, I peek my head out to grasp the situation.

-There are too many people outside. (Farah)

Once I come out of this valley, they will surround me again at this rate. I put my hand on my chin and thought about the possible solution.

-What can I do in this situation? (Farah)

I give mama bear and father wolf a glance.

-It will be really noticeable with just their appearance. (Farah)

I hang my head down since I can't think of anything.

-If only I had some skill to move through the street stealthily. (Farah)

A voice comes from the shadow and interrupts me.

-I think I can help you, master. (Bat Girl)

A cute small white bat comes from my shadow and talks to me.

-Ahhhh~ (Farah)

Mama bear and others are surprised at the sudden appearance of the bat.

-I'm sorry for my long disappearance, master. (Bat Girl)

I shake my head.

-No... (Farah)

-I apparently haven't recovered much of my power because of the newly formed contract. I'm sorry that I have had no use to you, master. (Bat Girl)

-It's all right... (Farah)

When she mentioned the contract, my face turned red slightly.

-Then I will help my master with this. (Bat Girl)

She releases her mana and casts a spell on our group.

-You can move through the crowd without getting noticed now. However, the spell will be broken after a while, master. (Bat Girl)

She yawned right after finishing casting the spell.

-I will see you later... (Bat Girl)

She jumps into my shadow and disappears without leaving any trace behind. I awkwardly turn to others and inform them.

-It looks like we can go out now. (Farah)

I walk and try to test the effect of the spell. It works perfectly since no one can notice my appearance. 

-You guys can go out now! (Farah)

Mama bear and others don't seem to understand what just happened. But they decided to follow me in the end.  With the spell of the bat girl, we safely arrive at Lecia's tent stealthily.

-There are people inside the tents! It may be Lecia and others. (Farah)

I hurriedly run through the entrance of the tent. I quickly find Lecia, Ano and Nina inside the tent.

-Everyone, I am here to play. (Farah)

Lecia looks at me with an astonished face.

-Farah??! (Lecia)

Surprisingly, they are talking with a guest.

-Mashiro? (Farah)

Mashiro faintly smiles and waves her hand at me.
