Battle Eagle Valley
We came to the Battle Eagle Valley .
“Pyuru, pyuru~”
When we arrived at the valley, one of the Battle Eagles immediately flew over to us .
It’s probably the parent of the eaglet we helped, the Boss-like existence in here . I can’t recognize him for sure, but I think I’m correct…
(Aniue, he says: “It has been a while . Thanks for coming . ” . )
“Hello . We took you up on your words and really came to play . ”
“Pyuru, pyuru . ”
(“Ou, don’t mind it . Enjoy your stay . ” Is what he said . )
… As I thought, I feel uncomfortable when Bolt starts translating .
“Thank you very much . Is your child doing well? I don’t see them around…”
When I looked in the direction where we found the eaglet before, I couldn’t find it . What I saw were eaglets that just were born .
“Pyuru, pyuru . ”
(“My boy? He’s over there, right over there . ” Is what he says . A, Aniue, that over there . )
When I looked where the parent and Bolt were pointing to, I could see several Battle Eagles returning .
“Pyui!”
(Aniue, the child at the front must be the eaglet from before~ He’s flying over here while shouting “It’s Oniichan~” . )
“Whoah! That’s the eaglet from before?”
“”Ohh~! He grew big~””
The eaglet that has totally grown up flew with his own wings .
“Pyui~”
The eaglet… is what it is not anymore, but let’s keep using it for convenience . When the eaglet arrived before us, he stopped on my other shoulder, opposite of Bolt .
“You really grew up~”
“Pyui, pyui . ”
His chirping was still done in the high-pitched, lovely voice, but his feathers have been replaced with new and his body’s build became sharp .
“I’m glad you are doing well above all . Were you on a stroll just now?”
“Pyui, pyui . ”
“You weren’t? Then, to have a meal?”
“Pyui!”
The eaglet was gesturing in reaction to my words, so he was very easy to understand .
(Aniue, you are amazing . You are having a proper conversation!)
“”Amaz~””
(Oniichan’s doing it~)
(As expected of Niisama, right?)
(You are so good, Niichan~ I did not understand a word!)
(Incredible!)
“… It was just a coincidence . ”
The eaglet was responding with gestures, so I somehow managed to understand, we definitely weren’t having a proper conversation .
“”Say, say, Onii~chan . ””
“What is it?”
“Feathers, you see~”
“So many of them~”
“Ah~… there certainly are many . ”
“”Can we collect?””
It seems that Allen and Elena firmly remember that the feathers of Battle Eagles can be used as materials . We picked up most of the feathers that had fallen here before, but it was full of fallen feathers again, so there were restless to pick the feathers up again . It’s not like we came here this time to pick feathers, though~
“Pyuru? Pyurururu~”
(Aniue he’s asking: “Feathers? Why would you collect the feathers?” . Should I explain to him about the tools humans use?)
“Ah~ yeah . Can I leave it to you, Bolt?”
(Yes, leave it to me . )
The parent eagle tilted his head wonderingly at the children who wanted to collect the feathers .
(Aniue, the Battle Eagles don’t use fallen feathers for anything, so you can apparently pick as much as you want . )
“”Yay~! Will collect~””
Hearing Bolt’s words, Allen and Elena rushed to pick up the feathers .
“It’s not like we accepted a request to collect Battle Eagle feathers, though~”
(Isn’t it fine? You can’t go wrong by stocking up~ Then, I’m going to pick some too~)
(N~ I will go too~)
(Ah, wait for me! I’m going too!)
Joule, Vector, and Mile rushed after Allen and Elena .
(Niisama, how many feathers do you still have from the last time?)
“N? Feathers from last time? The person who placed the request said they wanted as much as possible, so I gave them everything~”
(Is that so? Let’s pick up lots then . You won’t have to worry about them becoming baggage, after all . I will go too . )
Feat left as well .
I’m the same too, but each and every one of my children has a mania for collecting things, huh .
“I would like you to keep interpreting for me, so I would be glad if you remained, Bolt . ”
(Yes, I will stay with you, Aniue!)
When I requested Bolt to not go pick feathers with the other children, he acknowledged and nuzzled up against me .
“Pyui . ”
Then, for some reason, the eaglet nuzzled against me just like Bolt .
“Pii . ”
“Pyui . ”
“Piii . ”
“Pyui, pyui . ”
The conversation(?) Bolt and the eaglet held was getting quite sharp? Anyhow, they started quarreling .
I was surprised by the unusual behavior of the calm Bolt, but… first of all, I would like them to stop shouting in my ears .
“What is it? What’s going on, Bolt?”
(Aniue is my, our Aniue . )
“N? Well, yes . Including Allen and Elena, I am the older brother of Bolt and others . What about it?”
(This child…)
“This child? What about the eaglet?”
(He’s trying to snatch you from us~)
“Nn?”
Snatch me? He doesn’t mean it in the physical way of meaning, right?
“Sorry, Bolt . I don’t understand what you mean quite a bit…”
(This child is saying: “Please hand Aniue over . ”~)
“Ehh~!?”
I could only voice shock at the unexpected words .
… Still, Thunderhawk is a higher-ranked existence than Battle Eagle . And yet, the eaglet is getting all confident towards Bolt~
And above all, what are you telling me to do, I wonder~
“”No way-!!””
“Onii~chan is Allen’s!”
“Onii~chan is Elena’s!”
Before I could say anything, Allen and Elena who were picking up feathers rushed vigorously back and embraced me . They apparently heard Bolt’s words . Ah, Joule and others returned too .
“Pyui!”
“”No~””
“Pyui, pyui!”
“”No means no~!””
Allen and Elena argued with the eaglet without Bolt’s interpretation .
Just what should I do about this~ I could not think of words to say .
“Pyurururu~”
“……… Pii . ”
At this time, the parent eagle let out the loudest voice yet . At that moment, the eaglet dejectedly hung his head, left from my shoulder and moved to the side of his parent .
(The parent bird said: “Don’t be so selfish . ” . I’m glad~)
He was apparently getting scolded, so I held up Allen and Elena who were uneasily clinging to my legs in my arms .
They have grown recently again~ It’s still fine, but it will be difficult to hold them both at once when they grow a little bigger than this .
“Don’t want you . ”
“To leave—”
“Nono, I am not leaving, okay?”
Allen and Elena were sad because of their apparent misunderstanding . I’m not something you can just “snatch” when you like, okay~
“”Really?””
“Really . Everything’s fine, I have much more time to spend with Allen and Elena . Of course with Joule, Feat, Bolt, Vector, and Mile too . ”
(Yeah! We will be together!)
(Of course, me too!)
(Me as well!)
“Garu~n . ”
(Me too!)
Joule and others followed-up on my words .
“”Ehehe~””
“Together . ”
“With everyone~”
Then, hearing the words of Joule and others, a smile finally returned to Allen and Elena’s faces .
