...It was Quiet.
The Rain was still going, and everyone had fallen asleep after having their fill of Food and Stories.
...Waking to a rustle, I open my eyes with a start.
'...What was that?'
Looking where I heard the sound, I saw it clearly...
...One of the Buizels were trying to dig through my Bag.
"//I swear he took everything out of here. Is this guy a Magician? I wouldn't be surprised. He can understand us, after all. ...Ugh...//"
...Without a word, I just laid there, watching the Buizel search the Bag, but to no avail.
'...Are they looking for something?'
"...That'll turn into a bad habit, you know?" I said.
The Buizel jumped in surprise
"You were awake!?"
"Well, you were pretty loud, so... Anyways, it's not a good idea to go through someone else's Bag."
"I-I'm sorry! Please don't catch me! Please don't be mad at me!"
"...I mean, you didn't find anything, so there's no harm done, right?"
"...I... I see... ....I apologize. I didn't mean to attempt to steal from you. I was- Ugh!" She suddenly winced, holding her belly.
"Hey, hey, are you doing alright?"
"H-Haha, Ha... I-It's nothing. I just- Agh! ...I'm fine."
Looking closer, the Buizel seemed to be rubbing their Belly...
...Which was noticeably bigger than that of the other Buizel.
"...You're Pregnant?"
"N-No, I'm no- Ah!- ...Ugh."She sat down, defeated.
"...You... You wouldn't happen to be..."
"I... Alright. I give up. I seriously need your help right now. I... I'm in a lot of Pain, and the Egg could come at any moment."
"A-Alright. What about the Father? Is he nearby?"
"No. The other Buizel is my Brother. He's been watching over me ever since we were little, so we decided to go on a walk. Who knew a Storm would start right as we're about to return..."
"So he isn't here... Okay. Give me a quick moment."
Carefully, I moved Bun, Bea, Mina, Sui, and Via, who were all sleeping soundly on me, and lay them down on the Blanket that I laid on.
Successfully, I got through it without waking them.
"Alright. Let's move to somewhere quieter."
Taking a burning Stick from the Fire, I blow on it lightly, hoping to restart the Fire...
With no success
"Damn... I guess I'll need to use one of them."
Taking another Blanket from my Bag, the Smallest one I had, I tear a large strip, and begin wrapping the Hot Stick with it.
Blowing once again, I succeed in rekindling the Fire.
"Let's go. Follow me."
She follows without a second thought.
Taking my Bag with me, I guide the Buizel deeper into the Cave.
Finally, we reach a secluded place, near some shallow Water.
