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

　When we returned to the beastman village, everyone around us was surprised to see that we were accompanied by a human. Humans are probably something to be wary of among beastmen. I brought him here because I felt I had to help him, but I’m worried about what would happen if the person I brought in was a bad person. But I feel like this person is okay.

　I look at the person in front of me who is eating a stir-fry that I simply made with nuts and harvested crops.

　adult person.

　You can tell it’s a woman. Her clothes were stained with dirt, making me wonder what kind of life she lived. I wonder if she lived outside all her life. But even though she lived outside, she was still dirty.

　wonder.

　I was thinking this as I stared at the woman in front of me.

　Actually, everyone here is looking at the woman. It turns out that this is because everyone is wary of this woman who has collapsed.

　Normally, it’s not that common that you just fall down and end up in the forest.

　I too was abandoned and lived in the forest, but I don’t think there are many people like that.

　This woman has dirt on her face, but she has a beautiful face. I don’t know what to say about her, but she moves in a way that I’ve never seen before…I feel like that.

　After finishing the meal, the person

“Thank you. You were very helpful.”

　I bowed my head. His gestures were also somewhat similar.

“If you want to thank me, please go to this child. I brought him here because he said he would help you.”

　Mr. Athos said that and put his hand on my head as I stared at the woman. Women look at me. She looks surprised. I thought it was because I was a human child in a village of beastmen.

“…A child? Even though it’s a beastkin village, it’s a human child.”

“Yeah. But even if he’s human, he’s still our precious child.”

　Athos-san said that, looking at the woman a little wary.

　I wonder why she looks a little scary. In fact, I’m happy to have a precious child. Even as I thought so, I looked at the woman.

“…That’s right. I’m not thinking about taking that child out of this beastman village. It’s true that in the country I originally came from, there was a large group of people who looked down on beastmen, but… I was also saved by a beastkin when I was a child, and if that child wanted to stay here, I wouldn’t take him out.”

　…I wonder if this woman came from the country where the village I was in belonged to. To be honest, I have no idea where or what kind of country is located, so I don’t really know if there are other places like this nearby.

“Then why are we in a place like this? This forest is where we were born and raised, but it’s a dangerous forest for humans, right?”

　Athos says the same thing when a woman tries to make him lower his guard. Gaius is also anxiously grasping the sleeve of my dress.

“…I was looking for someone.”

“Man?”

“Yeah. I don’t know the name, but I was curious about it, so I chased after it. Out of a desire to see if it could be possible. I’m also a researcher, so when I got curious, I just…” And then I was alone in the forest. I rushed out and ended up collapsing, embarrassingly. I am truly grateful.”

　researcher.

　I guess he’s a person who is good at studying. Anyway, what does it mean to be looking for someone whose name you don’t even know?

“Um, so…maybe that child is the one you’re looking for.”

　I?

　The moment the woman opened her mouth, her grip on Gaius’s sleeve became stronger. Athos-san and the other adults seemed to be more cautious.

“Huh…yeah…just because I’m looking for a child doesn’t mean I’m going to take you out of here, so don’t worry! On the contrary, if the child I’m looking for is that person… no, I’ll do whatever it takes. So, please stay in this village! So, first, please let me just confirm.”

　The woman was very desperate.

　I can’t even think of a single possibility that this might be the child I’m looking for.

　I can understand why Athos and the others were confused because he seemed so desperate that he even got down on his knees and begged him. I’m confused too.

“Gaius, I speak.”

“talk?”

“Hmm. The two of us, with this person.”

“No! What if something happens!”

“Okay, Seafo, come with me.”

　When I told Gaius that I wanted to talk to a woman alone, he objected. But if I said I would take Seafo with me, he said…

　He also said to Athos, “You two, talk.” Mr. Athos also looked troubled and objected, but he said, “It’s okay.” Then she said to the woman, “I’ll talk to you over there,” and Seafo moved with her for a short distance.

　I could see Gaius, Athos-san, and the others watching me from a distance, looking worried.

　I turned to the woman, feeling somehow happy that she was worried about me.

“Um… are you Alice-sama’s… younger sister?”

　The woman asked, bending down and looking me in the eye.
