I crouched and adjusted my line of sight with the girl .
Since she was clinging to my foot, I was in a slightly uncomfortable position, but I tried to speak as gently as possible so as not to scare her .
“Don’t worry, I’m with you . ” (Ryouta)
“…”
Despite crouching, the girl’s head is lower than mine .
Her eyes sway with anxiety while looking at me .
I stroked her head .
Silently, I continued stroking her head .
Without a word .
I continued to stroke until she felt secure .
I’m not good at calming children, but I am confident in my patience .
I waited until the other side calmed down .
“…”
Approximately three minutes . The time it took for the girl to settle down .
The girl stopped clinging to my legs and she grasped my thumb of the hand which I used to stroke her head with her little finger .
She grasped the two fingers with both hands .
It was childlike behavior, but it was cute .
“Oh, there’s Yodsan nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“Really . Where have you been?” (Alice)
“… Can you see me now?” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu, of course I can see you desu?” (Emily)
“You said I looked like I just disappeared out of nowhere right?” (Ryouta)
Emily and Alice nod .
I thought .
I could be seen almost at the same time when she stopped clinging .
After changing to grasping my finger .
After that .
Is it only when she’s clinging to me that they can’t see or recognize my existence? Or is it only when this child is frightened?
I wanted to confirm it, but I suddenly knew the truth .
“Let’s have breakfast first desu . The energy of the day comes from breakfast nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“I know right . ” (Alice)
“Yeah . ” (Ryouta)
According to Emily, no matter what happens, we have to eat breakfast——when I stand up, the girl clings again .
A little different from the last time, she wasn’t frightened .
Don’t go . Her eyes swaying with the accumulated tears insisted strongly .
“Eh? Ryouta’s gone again . ” (Alice)
“That child’s not here either nanodesu . ” (emily)
Emily and Alice both lost sight of us again .
They looked around to find me .
Unlike before, I noticed that I had a little extra space for the second time .
Her companions riding on her shoulders .
Boney-chan, Puru Puru, Bon Bon, Spike, Gau Gau-and Meramera .
Like Alice’s fellow monsters, she looks around and looks around like her .
She has Meramera = Phosphorus .
It seems that they can’t see us .
While stroking the girl’s head, she was talking to Meraamera .
Mermera who looked like a human soul was blown away a little by it, but only had a mysterious look .
“What’s wrong Mermera?” (Alice)
“Yodsan…is close by desu . ” (Emily)
“Eh? Ah you’re right, he’s kind of transparent . ” (Alice)
According to Emily’s words, Alice was also relieved .
Strictly speaking, I’m not just transparent .
They don’t even notice it even if I touch them .
I suddenly looked at the window .
A faint image of me was reflected in the window .
This is a system whose existence itself is not recognized .
Immediately after calming her down, the girl grabbed my finger again .
The view reflected by the window did not change, but Emily and Alice all caught up at me and stared at me .
I mean, when you cling to me, they can’t recognize my existence, and when she’s not, I turn back to normal .
“Hey hey, what is this? Transparent? Are you a transparent person?” (Alice)
Alice was very interested .
“So is Ryouta going to peek in the bathroom?” (Alice)
“Why is that the first thing you thought of?” (Ryouta)
I bitterly laughed at Alice’s idea .
“Isn’t that a man’s romance . ” (Alice)
“…Yodsan” (Emily)
A little darkness dwelled in Emily’s eyes .
Ryo-chan, a copy of me called by the magic of All Might .
It was as if I had done such a thing .
Well, I don’t know anything about invisible humans → taking a bath .
I don’t know at all…
“I won’t do that . ” (Ryouta)
“For real?” (Alice)
“Yeah . ” (Ryouta)
Yeah, I said as I pat the girl’s head .
If this was a special bullet effect, it might be possible to use it in such a case, but this is not there .
I can’t just activate the ability to cling to me and not be recognized by others .
Completely, this child’s ability to connect to the genealogy of the Erythronium dungeon .
If so, it should be used to protect this child .
“Eh? I see Meramera . ” (Alice)
Alice was surprised to hear something from Meramera on her shoulder .
The content is recognizable .
“Ryouta, is that child Erythronium?” (Alice)
“Is it so nanodesu?” (Emily)
I silently presented the egg shell .
The egg shells brought back from Erythronium that everyone saw yesterday .
If Meramera says that, then this child is Erythronium .
But, for now .
“Let’s keep her secret that she is Erythronium . ” (Ryouta)
“Oh, you’re right . ” (Alice)
“I agree nanodesu . ” (Emily)
I crouched and adjusted the line of sight to the girl again .
“Let’s give her a name . How about Eri?” (Ryouta)
She was hugging my fingers for awhile, then she hugged me by putting her hands around my neck .
