For the ti being, as I had gotten close enough to Al-san that she started calling sworn friend, I decided to take the opportunity to ask her so things about the Wingeds.
[……Heehhh…… The Wingeds are common in the Archlesia Empire huh.]
[Yeah, we Wingeds are a species that does not like being held down by the ground. We prefer to live on the tops of peaks soaring towering up to the skies.]
[In other words, you live in the high mountains huh.]
[Indeed. However, our freedom cos with a price. Us Wingeds are rather enclosed, and we do not have much interaction with other species. Well, that doesn’t an we held no interaction at all……]
Having beco accustod to conversing with her up to this point, I was able to sowhat guess what Al-san was trying to say.
In the first place, it’s only that difficult phrases sotis co out, and I can sohow guess what she ant from the flow of our conversation and the nuances of how she said it.
[Sworn friend, you live in Symphonia’s royal capital, yes?]
[Yes, I have a house in the Central Area, so if you have the chance, please co and visit.]
[Unnn! I’ll go, I’ll go! ……Erhem. With my sworn friend inviting , there’s no way I’m not going to accept.]
Also, I’m changing the subject, I can sohow guess what tis Al-san’s true personality cos out. When Al-san’s tension gets very high, when she’s confused by words she didn’t expect, or when she’s anxious about sothing…… Her personality generally returns to her true one in those three tis.
While I was enjoying our conversation with these thoughts in mind, Al-san’s eyes suddenly started scurrying around, looking slightly anxious.
As I tilted my head and wondered if sothing happened, Al-san looked as if she had made up her mind and her expression turned serious, and pulled out what seed to be an accessory with a black feather on it from her pocket and held it out to .
[……This is?]
[You could say it’s an emblem of the bond between sworn friend and I. Please accept it.]
[……Thank you very much. By any chance, is this Al-san’s feather?]
[Yeah, giving an ornant made of one’s own feather is the greatest sign of trust for us Wingeds.]
Seriously, I have no clue why her Affection ters had risen so much in such a short ti that she handed a symbol of their greatest trust…… but it would be impolite to refuse the feather ornant that she was about to give , so I accepted it.
[Thank you for the great gift.]
[Fuuu, no…… It’s a small gift considering the eternal friendship between my sworn friend and I. I may not have fully recovered my mories of the long ti we were together before this life, but that does not diminish the friendship between you and I.]
……Errr, from how she speaks about that eternal friendship, I feel like she’s talking about so kind of distant past to the future. Also, that long tis we were together before this life and how she hasn’t completely regained her mory…… With Al-san’s chuunish behavior and how she called her sworn friend……
Is it just my imagination? Was she thinking as if we’re best friends in our previous life or sothing like that?
How should I say this…… Even if I really had a previous life, I don’t think I would be born in this world, so I don’t think there would be any chance that I’d get acquainted with Al-san’s previous life.
Though I say that, it would be pointless to nitpick about such things. Rather, if Al-san is okay with it, I think it’s fine.
[……I see, we may have firmly pledged sothing to each other in our previous life.]
[ ! ? My sworn friend……]
Whoa, she looks absurdly happy. Even her eyes looked like they’re glittering…… It looked as if she was thinking “I knew that was the case”.
Responding with that may have been a mistake. As for her words and actions earlier regarding previous lives, I have a feeling that Al-san herself thought it was an absurd story.
I see, that’s why she had an anxious look on her face before she gave that feather ornant……
However, now that I have said sothing that affirms her thoughts regarding previous lives, it feels like she was convinced that I was thinking the sa thing as Al-san and that our fates are connected even back in our previous lives.
The correct response here would have been a slightly vague response like “If that’s what Al-san says, I guess that might be so”.
It seed that Al-san’s already high Affection ters had been further increased by my careless comnt, as she pulled her chair up next to mine, so close that our shoulders are almost touching, and told with an expression that doesn’t hide her excitent at all.
[My sworn friend, oh my sworn friend! Crossing through ti, we ‘ve t like this. Let’s talk about more things, I want to know more about my current sworn friend!]
[Ah, yes……]
The tension is so high that the expression on her face is one of maximum happiness, and I even feel like I saw the vision of a dog behind her wagging its tail so fast that it was about to co off.
Although I’m just reaping what I had sown, I don’t feel like this is sothing we could talk about for a while, so I just responded to Al-san who was vigorously asking various questions.
