...

Brushing Arisa aside, the younger girls looked up at me with concern, so I smiled at them. “I’m fine.”

“Master, according to my behavior library, it is good to cry into a woman’s chest when lonely.”

Gently, Nana started to hug me to her chest.

The soft sensation and gentle fragrance certainly did heal the slight loneliness I felt.

“E-excuse you! That’s unfair! Lulu, don’t just watch; make them stop!”

“Sorry, Arisa, I can’t. I have to watch the road while I’m driving.”

Arisa was outraged, so I pulled myself away from Nana’s healing space.

Liza handed me a container of fruit-flavored water, so I drank it down, washing away the sadness of saying farewell to a friend along with it.

Rattling and rumbling along, the carriage continued down the road.

Putting Tama in my lap and letting Pochi ride on my shoulders, I faced forward.

Now, time to enjoy this journey through a parallel world!
