I Can Speak with Animals and Demons - Chapter 21.1

Chapter 21.1

It’s painful because of this thorn stuck in my wing . 』

“I understand . Stay still . ”

『Go on . 』

Kotori often comes to my room . Whenever he has an errand, he lands on my rooms windowsill . It’s no problem when it happens in the morning or at noon, but sometimes he turns up in the middle of the night .

Well, it’s fine since it’s the morning right now .

I spread out the beautiful white feathers and look for the thorn .

“Where is it stuck?”

『Ah, yes . To the right, right . 』

I search according to the instructions that sound like an itchy old man asking to scratch an inappropriate place .

There are a lot of feathers and it is hard to understand . Where are is the thorn?

『Ah, almost, up! Left! Go back!』

“Ah, there’s something on the other side… There it is! There’s a small twig-like object… Yeah”

『… . Oh! … . . Ooh, I feel better . 』

Now that the thorn is pulled out, Kotori spreads his wings to make sure both of them are fine .

『I’m saved . Now I can fly in the sky without worries . I will never forget this favor . 』

“Yeah yeah, watch out for the branches next time . ”

『Yes! See ya!』

Kotori flaps his wings and flies away from the window into the sky .

I watched Kotori getting smaller and smaller in the cloudy sky .

“What were you doing, Jed?”

My sister Julia suddenly called out to me . She is looking suspiciously at me through the door .

I wonder if she was watching and saw everything . That would be embarassing .

“Well, it looks like there was a thorn stuck in Kotori’s wing . ”

“Just now, that white anybird? It’s a very timid bird that rarely gets close to people . That’s rare . ”

That white bird has that name . I don’t think it’s shy . I comes to mess around my room .

“What makes you say that Julia?”

I change the topic because I don’t want to say that I was talking to an anybird .

“Oh, my mother called . You’ve got to go study . ”

“Okay . ”

“Please do your best . ”

“Yes . ”

By big sister Julia closes the door and leaves . I close the window and head towards the first floor to go to the study room .

I started studying recently . Words and calculations are easy, but I have to memorize aristocratic manners and the history of the Adlet kingdom as they are completely subjects for me .

Anyway, I’m a third son, so I don’t think it’s meaningful to study even though I’m not succeeding the territory . When I’m a bit older, I want to become an adventurer and travel around this world . I wanted to do it in this world because I died suddenly in my previous life and couldn’t travel satisfactorily . The language barrier has already disappeared thanks to the goddess Meliarina, but in this world there is a dangerous barrier called a monster .

I’m worried about it, but I can’t travel if I’m concerned about that . It’s important to talk about it, though .

There’s nothing absolute in the world, so I will move forward with courage .

But I’m scared, so I’m doing my best to study magic . I regularly go and see big brother Gillion, but is it improving my magical powers?

Well, anyway, I still have time, so I will do my best .

I might learn swordsmanship from my brother Gladys, or from dad .

『I don’t know, I don’t write anything on paper . 』

『Paper? Is it delicious?』

『No, I can’t eat paper . 』
