Cheshire

[Cheshire]

...Eh?

What a surprise. What are you doing here?

Out for a walk?

I came out with Ahat, but he went back in to take care of an urgent matter.

.. ..............

This tree... it's white, transparent, and shiny.

It's a Sapha's body.

You know Saphas slowly turn to stone throughout their lives.

So when they die, they turn to stony trees.

This forest is... their cemetery, so to speak.

....... Look closely, and you can make out his arms and legs.

Interesting, isn't it?

... .. ...

Oh, this is so annoying.

I'm off!

- Cheshire stormed off... -

What? The ears?

Well, it's no wonder because I'm a beastman.

... Why... Why are you staring me like that?

What are you talking about?

I don't know such a thing!

- Cheshire ran away... -

A boy dressed in unusual clothing is standing, with a fierce look in his eyes.

You guess you'd better leave him alone.
