It's been a months since I came in this world...
I was reborn as a lamia and not human.
At first, I can't accept why I had been born as a lamia.
But days go by... I treated the lamia as my family.
That's why...
Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why? Why? Why? why?
Did you take them away for me God-sama?
I just want to feel again the warmth of the family.
That's right... those harpies I will eradicate these damn harpies!!! I will crush the head and rip the body of that damn queen of harpies!
And I will kill that bitch who betrayed the family!!!
but I'm weak.....
I can't kill that queen of harpies yet...
That's right... I'm in the Isekai world.
Takatsuki-kun said if I need to beat a strong boss, I must level up like crazy.
That's why... I hunt and hunt a monster.
especially harpies!
After that.
I will go into the lamia lair hoping that, this is all a bad dream.
But that's not always the case...
I am always hit by reality...
***
I continued fighting all alone for a while.
One day…
I noticed that a big sound was made from the underground lake.
I hurriedly jumped out of my lair.
I thought that maybe an enemy attacked, but it seems like that wasn't the case.
The monsters are gathering.
That's…humans?
Are those the so called adventurers that the mother-sama was talking about?
There's two humans.
A bright red haired girl, and a black haired boy with gray attire.
The girl must be a mage, she has a staff after all.
What's the man? Lightweight armor, and a dagger.
A thief, maybe?
Mana is overflowing from the female mage.
I can feel a powerful life force.
(If I attack her…if I eat her, maybe I can become stronger? that's what my mother-sama thought me...)
But before that, there's the hated harpies.
I will deal with those first!
I observe those two while crushing the harpies.
If I had to compare, the overwhelmingly stronger one should be the mage woman.
The man has a life force comparable to that of the goblins around here.
That's what I thought at first.
But…
(No… The problematic one is the man.)
They were surrounded by several tens of monsters.
The female mage is desperately chanting magic, and trying to evade the sea serpent and the strings of the arachnes while raising screams.
On the other hand, the man holding a dagger…
(Does he have eyes on his back?)
He was avoiding the attacks of the harpies that were coming from the back with minimal movements.
Nimbly escaping from the sea serpent that jumps out from the water.
Cutting the Arachne webs deftly.
Even though he doesn't look like he has much physical strength, he was dealing with all the attacks carefreely as if he were dancing.
(Moreover, what's with that calmness of his?)
Even though he was fighting for his life here, avoiding the attacks of the monsters by a paper-thin difference, he scratched his cheek.
It is as if he is saying 'good grief, this is troubling'.
(The problematic one is that black haired man… Let's hunt him first.)
I raised my concentration.
Even so, that gesture of scratching his cheek…
I feel like I have seen it before, but I can't remember.
That's why...
I need to get close to him...
The more I near on him.
The more my heart is beating faster...
I don't understand why?
His still facing in the back... I can't see his face.
but my heartbeat is racing...
The moment I near at him.
He swings his dagger at me but I easily avoid it.
I thought it end there... But an ice needle coming to my face.
But I can still dodge it.
The moment I dodge the ice needle...
I see his face...
That's right... That face...
How can I forget that...
My childhood friend and...
The person that I love...
"Takat...suki-kun!?"(Aya)
The moment I said that word my heart is beating faster and faster...
"Ehh? This voice... Sa-san?"(Makoto)
When I heard his voice...
My heart jumped in joy...
"Takatsuki Makoto!!!"(Aya)
My body reacts and I instinctively hug him.
I heard his making sound of *kofuu
"S-Sa-san I'm happy about our reunion but it's not a perfect place to do this here."(Makoto)
Ahh! Right, we are surrounded by monsters.
I totally forgot because I'm so happy to meet him again.
I'm so happy that I even forgot that he has a companion.
"Is there a place to hide around here sa-san?"(Makoto)
"There is!! Over here!"(Aya)
I said while guiding them to the back of the waterfalls...
It's then when I see him...
"Lucy, grab on tight." (Makoto)
"Eh, g-got it." (Lucy)
Guiding his comrade to the back of the waterfalls.
There's nothing wrong with it but... I feel annoyed for some reason.
So I grab the other hand of Takatsuki-kun.
"Hiih! What's with this monster?!" (Lucy)
"Don't worry, Lucy. It is okay. This person is my childhood friend" (Makoto)
"I-is that so?"(Lucy)
That's right! What is this girl...
But I can't deny her though.
So I decided to keep quiet.
I saw Takatsuki-kun use magic.
A water that shape of a dragon... Then blow away all the monsters that are near to us...
Seeing him doing that is so cool...
Arriving at the back of the waterfalls the two of them rest...
Looks like it takes their stamina fighting those many monsters that surround them.
Seeing takatsuki-kun I touch his hair
then nose...
then cheeks...
then I touch his face...
Then I touch his whole body.
Takatsuki-kun looking at me weirdly...
saying "what the heck are you doing?"(Makoto)
Then he will look his face away, not looking at me directly.
And I just said casually that "I'm checking if you are real..."(Aya)
Hearing me say that he looked dumbfounded
But still his not complaining...
The one who complained is her comrade.
"Hey! Why are you touching the body of Makoto!!!"(Lucy)
But I ignore it...
I keep touching his body when I'm going to the lower part...
Takatsuki-kun spoke.
"Oii... That's beyond of checking."(Makoto)
"Isn't it fine?"(Aya)
"It's not fine!" (Lucy)
the one who screams is the comrade of Makoto.
"And you!!! Why are you naked wear some clothes!"(Lucy)
"Because I'm a monster... Ahh right! I can also do this... [Transformation]"
I transform my self into a human that's what my mother-sama teaches me.
"Ahh! You...!"
The one who screams is the comrade of takatsuki-kun
And takatsuki-kun is looking to another way no... He even closed his eye.
Ahh right... I'm naked.
"Here...I will lend you this", is what the comrade of Takatsuki-kun says as she gives her mantle to me.
I wrap the mantle around my body like a dress.
"Also, wear this." (Makoto)
Takatsuki-kun put his coat around my body.
Seeing him doing that, it reminds me of our childhood days.
"It has been a while, Sa-san. I'm really happy to see you" (Makoto)
"Takatsuki-kun!" (Aya)
Hearing him say that I can't control myself again and hugged him.
Ahh...
Finally...
Again...
I'm not alone anymore...
