Slowly but surely, the number of animals remaining in the forest was decreasing.
Instead of being eaten, they would rather travel to other forests themselves.
That human’s presence was just that overwhelming.
I was truly lost. Should I go out and search for a new habitat or stay in this forest and fight my fear?
It was impossible to keep a good distance from him… because he wasn’t willing to let me.
From that day on, I kept encountering him every day. This couldn’t be accidental. That human was targeting me.
No good. Now was not the time to think of that mess.
That scary presence was nearby, approaching me. Looking around, I managed to find a gap in a tree just in time to hide.
I slipped into the gap and held my breath.
Please. Don’t let him find me today as well―

“Are you alone again today?”

I was always alone.
“I’m alone too. ＊＊＊… That white beast is not my friend. He’s a overseer that my teacher placed beside me.”
I didn’t know. I didn’t know what he wanted to say to me.
I couldn’t hear a part of the words and it seemed like it was the beast’s name, but I forgot it straight away because the sounds were too complex for me to pronounce.
Speaking of which, that beast wasn’t by his side, neither yesterday nor today.
Did he really come here alone…
“…Would you show me what you look like?”
His voice was so sad that deep in my chest, my heart thumped.
Though fearful, I stuck my head out from behind the tree where I was hidden. It was scary, so only half my face poked out.
I felt like there was a quiet gulp of breath nearby.
The man was right before my eyes.
“Ahh, as if you will…” He covered his mouth with his hands, closed his eyes and muttered something.
His face really looked nostalgic…
Even if I was scared, I wanted to approach him, leaning forward without realizing it. The fallen leaves at my feet made a dry sound. That sound attracted his attention to me.
Those jewel-like eyes were looking at me.
I felt like I was struck by thunder.
What a beautiful color. It was more beautiful than any of the stones that fell by the river.
With just a glance, I liked it.
I wanted it. I wanted that―
“Please marry me.”
“…Eh?” His purple eyes widened.
Oh no, that was too hasty, how embarrassing. I hadn’t even built a nest yet, why was I proposing now, stupid!
―No.
No, no. Why was I thinking about building a nest? I was confused, I didn’t know why I was thinking those things.
“Um… Can I come here to meet you again?”
…That’s right. Let’s start from friends first.
The beautiful purple shone bright in the sunlight that filtered through the trees. When he stared at me, my heart gave a helpless throb.
It seemed like I had come out from behind the tree before I even realized it. And then, his fingertips were touching my cheek.
The sensation of them sliding over the tips of my downy hair was ticklish, so I backed off, alert.
“I’m sorry, I can’t help it…” My favorite eyes were narrowed.
It was ticklish to be touched, but I didn’t hate his fingers.
