Basically, I don't like humans.
That is something very common among Spirits, because humans have a group called Spirit exterminators. With his ability, they oppressed and made the Spirits slaves to serve them.
Even though there are good exterminators of the Spirit, in the end their work is still to eradicate. And such a human never gave off a good aura.
On several occasions, my mother and I had met several Spirit Exterminators of various types. Fortunately, we were able to escape all of that.
And of all those occasions, not a single meeting with them made a good impression on me. In fact, my dislike for them grew and swelled.
But, the human child I met today has a difference.
"Ow ... It didn't hurt but it felt quite disrespectful. Well, I don't really matter"
The unique smell he emitted certainly caught my attention but at the same time, this human child also did not have the gripping aura that those Spirit Exterminators used to have.
Even though his gaze still felt frightening. But more than that, what kind of Spiritual Energy was clumping within his body? Is that kind of Energy really in the body of such a small child? No, the truth is.
What's wrong with this kid? He got me a little interested in him maybe it wouldn't hurt to follow him.
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
Hm? The child looked confused, he also looked in various directions. Is he lost? Then maybe I can help him in return because he helped me earlier. But how do I do it?
Should I come closer to him?
As I thought about it, something happened to the boy.
"uh? He climbed a tree?"
What the hell is he doing? Why did he climb a tree when he got lost? With that much Energy, it should be able to easily read the airflow around it. He can find a direction with it.
Can't he do it? With that much Spiritual Energy? No, it's not possible. He must have just tried something.
But what is it?
As confusion filled my head, the boy had already reached the top of the tree he was climbing, making his figure invisible. And as I tried to get closer, the boy fell out of the tree.
Then something more surprising happened.
"It hurts!! What are you doing all of a sudden?!"
"I'm the one who should have said that, stupid boy. You could have gone into the woods so far without my supervision. What would you do if a spirit ate your body?"
The tiger-like spirit with its nightly fur saved the boy as he fell and threw his body on the grass. The two are arguing at the moment.
But that's not what needs to be noticed.
The tiger's spirit ... It was no longer wrong to belong to a high-level spirit. With an enormous level of Spiritual Energy, the aura surrounding him as well as the intimidation issued by the gazes of his two eyes was.
It's the first time I've seen a high-level Spirit, they look so majestic. Mother once said if I had the potential to become a high-level Spirit before but that would indeed not be possible.
Me, being the same as that tiger spirit? Just thinking about it made my stomach filled with pain.
But, why would that child be able to know a Spirit of such a high level? Well, that child also had an enormous Spiritual Energy on his body so it was not strange if the two of them had already formed a contract. They look so close when arguing.
From his gaze, the great Spirit did not hate the human child either. Then the child also looked at the Spirit with a look of respect. Their relationship may have lasted long enough.
"Huh? Some things? Tell me what happened in detail ... Hm? I sense the existence of the Spirit, it's near here."
"Oh that's probably the spirit that's been watching me since, I'll tell you."
The boy seemed to give the black tiger an explanation, did he save me again? The tiger had lost interest.
"Well, he's just a lowly spirit after all. I could have ignored it."
Low spirits ... That's right, I'm a lowly spirit.
Even though I saw them from afar, it would not make any difference. Precisely because I'm the lowly Spirit Tiger released me, maybe I should be grateful for that?
I don't know, I don't know about that. There are too many things I don't know.
Not long after, rain fell, followed by the darkening hue of the sky. The human child also took shelter in a banyan tree with the black cat which was the incarnation of the great Tiger.
Seeing this confused me once again, why did they even take shelter? They could have come back with the human boy riding the Tiger and it was all over.
As expected, there was something strange about the boy. This made my curiosity even higher, I guess I'll spend some time watching him further. And maybe, I can also ask him to ....
No, it's not good to do that.
"Even so, it's a good opportunity for me to return the favor to that human, even though it's still not worth what he's doing."
I immediately ran away from the bushes and found a large taro leaf, with this should be enough. After carrying two seeds, I gave one of them to the boy.
But it seems that something happened to them while I was away, the human child and the cat were fighting each other.
I do feel worried for myself if I approach them in a situation like this but there is no other choice. After pumping up the spirit, I finally took a step closer to the two.
They immediately realized my existence and looked at me in confusion.
I immediately threw one of the taro leaves that I held onto them. The human boy took it and looked at me. It was a look that asked for an explanation.
All right, I gotta calm down.
"Make that ... As an umbrella ... For ... Home."
The boy tilted his head after hearing me, moving his gaze on the taro leaf he turned with his hand.
"So so ... Using taro leaves as an umbrella. I see, right?"
Ah, he understands it. Mercifully.
I nodded a few times to respond and pointed in a direction. It was a way out to get out of the forest.
"Now ... You can ... Back."
The son of man looked at the direction I was pointing and turned to me. With an awkward look on his expression, the boy retorted.
"Oh ... Thanks?"
And after she said that, somehow at some point on my chest, it felt a little warmth that I had not felt for a long time.
"S-sama-same."
Maybe not only my feelings but this human child is indeed different. Not only on the smell, aura or level of Spiritual Energy, the personality he had was very different.
It's good to keep an eye on him for a little longer.
