Just as I was sleeping soundly, a bunch of spirits came around to disturb me.
When I opened my eyes gloomily, it seemed something had changed with Harvey and Yomomo’s situation.
“Is it something bad? What happened?”
“Hurry, hurry~!”
“Lilius hurry!”
With the spirits tugging at my hair and clothes, I rushed up the stairs.
When I arrived at my room and opened the door, light was leaking out from the cradle I had placed on the windowsill.
“Are they waking up?!”
“Yeah~!”
“We said it already!”
“Bad—”

“……Good luck.”
I had no idea what was going on, but the spirits’ enthusiasm was infectious.
Incited by them, I called out to Harvey and Yomomo, too. When I did that, threads of light swiftly unraveled from the faintly glowing cocoon, revealing two toddlers, so small they could fit on one hand.
But they could not be said to be spirits in appearance, but rather something holy.
“Harvey? Yomomo?”
When I gingerly called out to them, their closed eyes slowly lifted open.
When their eyes were bared, they were just as pure white as their skin and hair, with a strange but faint reddish tint.
“Waa~! It’s Lilius! Lilius isn’t busy? Let’s play something? Let’s make medicine?”
“……Harvey, shut up.”
“Hmph~! Yomomo’s mean and gloomy, nobody will like you—!”
“Tsk! ….Whatever, I don’t care.”
“Liar~!
I was shaken by the conversation that unfolded.
Clearly, their intelligence had improved. Was there any reason why they took on a human-like appearance?
The two of them looked very similar.
Their hair stopped just below the chin, and they had straight bangs above their eyebrows.
They had lovely childish faces that looked very pinchable.
Both of them wore only one piece of clothing of the same make.
“Lilius thinks so too, right? Right—”
“……You guys are,”
“What~?”
My mouth was dry.
I knew people who looked very similar to them.
In a cold, cold place, so cold you grew numb. A gentle people, living abhorred at the edge of that country.
Their smiles flashed through my mind; a nostalgic memory.
“—Just what the heck are you spirits? Just how are you related to us……”
