Rainy World (4)
All living things in the world have their own special abilities to survive in this harsh world.

Beaulu Look.
Winter swayed the antennae that had grown above his head.
Every time he wiggles his antennae.
As if the surrounding objects were viewed through a third ultrasonic engine, the colors looked different.
‘Oh, oh oh?’
It’s as if a fluorescent material is painted on both eyes.
The whole world around me seemed blue.
It was like that everywhere he looked.
Forests and bushes, trees and rocks. It is the same for all things, no matter where they are.
I could see the blue aura and energy leaking out like smoke.
‘Oh…’
Winter knew very well what all the energy in his eyes was.
‘So you’re saying that everything I see is magical power?’
Winter turned her head to see her mother Yuhua Lin, who was carefully caressing the antennae above her own head.
“Ha, how?”
In the midst of it, she had a puzzled expression on her face.
He was showing signs of concern, such as gently trying to pull out the winter antennae that had just sprouted.
But that wasn’t what he was looking at.
Winter read a large amount of mana leaking from her mother.
‘…And.’
Winter opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
‘This is the magical energy leaking from one mother?’
Go oh oh-.
My mother Yuhwarin.
I could see a blue aura coming out of her like smoke, as if it were densely compressed.
The size of that energy was so great.
If the mana leaking from Winter or from other people and forests was just blue, the high-density and compressed magic that flowed from her mother, Yuhwarin, would have turned its color to pure white.
It’s just like how a blue flame turns pure white when its temperature rises further.
Even the pure white magic that seemed to burn at that high temperature was leaking like smoke to the surroundings while being contained in the mother’s body, which was a vessel.
I mean, like smoke from dry ice.
Looking around, there was no one whose magic color had changed to pure white.
Yuhwarin was the only one who said that.
‘That means that the amount of magic I have is so great that the color of the magic I can see turns white. Mother.’
I was startled for a moment and stared blankly at my mother Yuhwarin.
But before the winter had even come out of embarrassment.
Within her, her Yuhua Lin’s hand carefully caught her winter’s antennae.
[…?]
Mother?
I was about to look at my mother, Yuhwa-rin, with a puzzled look for a moment, but I felt her fingers gripping her antennae begin to tighten up little by little.
Soon, Winter felt a pinching pain.
She is pulling her antennae.
Because he’s going wild! He removed Yuhwarin’s hand and exclaimed, revealing his teeth.
[Arr-!]
A rough interpretation of the cry of winter.
It was ‘Stop it because it hurts’.
“Huh, huh…?”
Maybe it’s because of the expression of that strong feeling of rejection.
Hwarin Yu’s face is full of embarrassment.
She hid her hands behind her waist, which had tugged at her own antennae just before her sneaky.
‘Eh…!’
Winter felt a strong pain from above her head.
Because it felt like he was pulling out a beard, he lay upside down on the grass and rubbed his antennae on the ground frantically.
It was like being pinched at the flesh.
After a while.
From noble mtl dot com
I barely came to my senses and got up.
Winter glared at her mother, Yuhua Lin, with narrow eyes.
“Ha ha ha…”
It seems that Yuhwarin also noticed the meaning of that gaze.
She smiled awkwardly and expressed her apologetic feelings.
* * * *
A little more time passes.
It was late afternoon.
At the time when darkness slowly began to come to the forest.
“Ah, aww.”
Like a human baby walks.
Inari, who took the form of a little girl, approached winter with a slightly staggering and clumsy gait.
Inari came into his arms and embraced him tightly.
“Oh?”
Even though it was raining in full swing, the winter’s fur was soft as if it didn’t feel wet at all.
Inari held his hair in her small, blunt hand.
I tugged and rubbed my face, touching this and that as if it were a toy.
[…]
Winter just stayed calm.
I wanted to kick off the ground right away and avoid this place full of mischievous touches.
But.
‘…Does that seem difficult? I can’t help it.’
Eve was watching the winter with eyes of observation.
She is Inari’s mother. Her Eve is a little thinner than usual.
She was wary and with her pupils closed, she watched him closely.
I was really used to those eyes.
It was the kind of light that even winter was familiar with.
Because I was like my mother Yuhwarin, who one day glared warily at her own people.
He just stayed as quiet as possible, limiting his movements as much as possible, like a frozen prey.
‘But it’s not particularly unfair. Right now, my sisters and I also grew up receiving this kind of experience and protection.’
Just. If I could add one thing.
His mother Yuhwarin is no longer the same as before.
Of course, even though he was quite large, he still recognized Winter as a child, so he was wary of possible other werewolves’ interesting touches or approaches.
To some extent, it was tacitly allowed.
That meant that he was already a grown child, so he didn’t need any more care or protection.
‘Because it’s a mother’s very natural instinct to pay great attention to her newborn child.’
It was said that the fact that Eve stared at Inari all day long with vertical pupils in the image of Inari, who was exceptionally following winter.
Winter glanced away.
He saw Luna in Rubris’s arms.
[Arr!]
The guy still hasn’t been humanized yet.
It was still a young wolf cub with short, stubby legs.
“Abu!”
Looking at it.
Winter thought as he passed Inari, who spread both hands to catch his swaying tail.
‘By the way. Luna still shows no signs of humanizing her. In the case of Inari, who is in front of me now, she has already fully adapted to humanization.’
I could already see the difference in growth between Luna and her Inari.
Inari was a little faster, while Luna still looked a little younger.
Maybe there is a difference between the objects.
However, the ranks of her mother, Rubris, and Eve were largely similar.
The difference in birth is not great.
Then it seemed highly likely that this was just a simple individual difference.
Well, it wasn’t particularly strange.
In fact, there was an example of the best specimen, Yuhwarin, the mother.
As far as winter knows.
There was no werewolf with such special powers, abilities, and origins as she did.
At least among their pack of wolves.
It was then.
“Abu!”
It sounds like a child babbling.
Inari’s stubby hand moved toward the sheep’s antennae on top of Winter’s head.
‘Oh, there!’
Pak!
Stunned for a moment, Winter quickly hid the sheep’s antennae with his forepaws.
Pounding. Pounding.
My heart was pounding and beating a little faster.
It was because he still remembered the results of his mother Yuhwarin’s touch from a while ago.
‘…Inari. I can’t do that.’
Somehow, this antenna part is different from others.
It seemed to have a shape that aroused the desire to pull it at least once.
It was a difficult situation in the winter.
* * * *
While spending time quietly in the cave in winter.
Indeed, its eyes moved busily and spent a lot of time detecting objects and people around it.
He mainly spent a lot of time looking at various objects.
This antenna organ seemed to have a lot more useful than I thought.
Now, he could easily perceive the high-density, energy-bearing creatures around him, even from a distance.
‘It’s not just about seeing with your eyes. At a certain distance, I can easily feel the presence of other people.’
Occasionally, on Dolsan Mountain, there would be people who took a walk alone in the nearby forest for a change of mood.
In winter, even those who were a little far away could be easily seen.
‘Huh?’
At that time, Winter’s sheep antennae stood up a little.
Go oh oh-.
From far away.
I saw a being with quite a bit of magical power approaching with a leisurely pace.
Winter blinked.
It’s the first time I feel this momentum, but somehow I’m strangely used to it.
‘Is this… Misoah, the second-in-command of the group?’
