Chapter 194: Child Who Loses Little by Little (6)
“Wow, holy shh, Horohoro is the seeker…! Everyone hide or run away…! I’ll count to 50 and then catch you…!”“Mwehehe, imps are just a subspecies of nymphs… This Sifnoi will show you…!”“Holy shh…! Hina, let’s hide quickly!”“It’s already past midnight. Don’t you know young ladies need to sleep well? Playing hide and seek at this late hour…” It was the last day of my time with Hina and Salome.Hina wanted to play hide and seek inside the mansion with everyone before going to sleep. It was a game that both the children and adults participated in.The children had more stamina than expected and only got tired at 1 AM, and then went to bed.A very large and wide bed.Seeing the children lying together reminded me of squirrels curling up in a narrow cave to avoid the cold.
“Horohoro…, do that again. That…!”
Hina, who was lying down looking at the ceiling, said to Horohoro, who was next to her. Horohoro, as if remembering something, slipped into the blanket.Soon, Naru and Hina also went under the blanket.What could be happening under there?
“Look at this…! Horohoro’s glowing tail…!”Flash—A bright light shone through the blanket. I heard that imp tails can sometimes shine brightly, and it seemed to be true.“Holy shh…! It’s totally glowing!”“…Such a bright and beautiful light…ah, holy shh! It’s blinding…!”“…Hehe.”
As the children noisily chattered, the light from the tail under the blanket faded.
Inhale— Exhale—Before long, Cecily and Naru fell asleep with their arms under each other’s heads. They must have been exhausted from playing hide and seek.But Hina and Horohoro weren’t asleep yet and were looking at the glow-in-the-dark star stickers on the ceiling.
“Horohoro, did you have fun today?”
Hina asked.Then Horohoro answered without hesitation, “Ung!”But she cautiously added, as if something was on her mind.
“It should have been time for Hina and your mom and dad, but did Horohoro interrupt and become a bother? Horohoro feels a little sorry…!”
