《Gallinus》12- What age is it?
Advertisement
I don’t understand where this bird came from, but now I am being carried by it.
So, this is the view of a bird that can fly… It will probably be my first and last time that I will be able to observe the world from here.
This hawk is not very big, but neither am I, so I have no way of escaping.
It has brown feathers with some white strokes, looking very much like the hawks of my world.
Just where did that bird come from?
- Hey, Falco, come here! – An anonymous voice calls the hawk.
This guy belongs to someone!?
When I look in the direction the hawk is going, I see a young woman leaning against a tree.
She has short dark brown hair and eyes almost the same color, just a little lighter. The girl is really beautiful in her… Uniform?
What kind of uniform is that? I feel like I’ve seen something like that before.
She was wearing a little white hat and a white shirt that was as long as a dress, as it reaches up to her knees. Under the shirt it is possible to see the end of his pants and his sneakers.
In a few seconds, the hawk takes me to her and then stayed on the branch of the tree.
- Hey, Suzy, I caught your Gallinus a little bit! – The girl exclaims while watching Suzy and Gabel.
- Hmm? Eh? Maria? Why are you here!? – Suzy asks, confused, before deciding to forget the duel and come to us.
- Wait, Suzy, we’re not done yet! – Gabel says, while getting up with difficulty. – Maria, what are you doing here?!
It looks like they both know her…
- I went to visit Suzy and her mother said you two would be here, that’s why I came! – The girl answers, smiling. – So… What are you doing?

- We are fighting, but now you interrupted us! – Gabel answers.
- Fighting? Aren’t you just being thrown on the floor? – Maria asks happily.
She really wants to make this boy angry.
At that moment, Suzy came to us.
- What!? I’m just getting used to my new skill!! Soon I will be able to defeat anyone with it! – The young man says.
- Oh really? So should we both have a fight? – The girl replies, returning me to Suzy and then walking towards Gabel.
- We will not start a fight now, you two! – Suzy intervenes, even though she has just fought for no reason. – Anyway, Maria, what do you want with me?
The girl turned to Suzy while smiling and then looked directly at me.
- Suzy, I heard you signed up to join the tower. – She speaks calmly. – Don’t you think you should get a better partner?
… You know, she’s right.
- No, I already have it, I don’t need another one! – Suzy replies, while grabbing me.
- I also think you should change it – Says Gabel, getting close to the two. – That animal of yours doesn’t seem to have any skills.
If he was in armor… I would make his nose bleed.
- Even if you say that, Gabel, did he not handle your Utta well? – Maria speaks sarcastically.
- That was luck! – He responds strongly. – I didn’t see much myself, but that only happened because my Utta had to climb a tree!
This is strategy, my friend.
- Anyway, he’s my partner and I’m training him. – Suzy answers.
- What kind of training are you doing? – Maria asks, curious.
- I’m teaching him martial arts.
The two are silent when they hear this and then look strangely at Suzy.

Even I find that unbelievable…
- … Say, Suzy, are you a Gallinus? – Gabel asks.
- No! Where did this question come from?! – She answers.
- So how do you know how to teach martial arts to a Gallinus?
- … I just teach what I know.
The two looks at Suzy incredulously, not believing what she said.
After a few seconds, Maria puts her hand on Suzy’s shoulder and says.
- Suzy, I know how strong you are, and I also know your ability, but… Please don’t mistreat animals.
- But I didn’t do anything wrong!! – She says this, before bringing me close to your face. – Isn’t that right, Galizé?
At that moment, my memories of the days I needed to stay on that log, training nonstop, just for her to stop filling me came.
Because of that, I ended up avoiding looking at Suzy.
- That’s why you lose to me… - Gabel speaks while shaking his head.
- But I beat you!
- Well, anyway, let’s get to what matters now? – Says Maria, going behind the tree.
After a few seconds, she comes out from behind while pulling a cart. What’s in that cart was something I didn’t expect to see in this world.
In a world where I saw no sign of electricity or modern technology, what was in front of me was…
A popcorn carts!? But what kind of era are we in!?!?
- So, what you going to want today? – Maria speaks, smiling.
- I knew you didn’t come just to see Suzy! – Gabels answers.
- If you don’t want anything, just go away.
- Wait, I want one sweet!
- Ah, and I want a buttery. – Speak Suzy, taking the wallet.
- Do you accept badges? – The young man asked.
- Gabel, you always ask me that, I already answered yes! – She says as she takes a strange object made of metal and then pulls out the young man’s emblem. – There, it’s done.
Instead of using her badge, Suzy takes some of her money and hands it. In this way, the two receive their popcorn.
As I also want popcorn, I’ll get it from Suzy.
Since my foot is dirty, I think I can only steal it.
So, when she tried to eat the popcorn, I took it from her hand first.
- Hey, this is my popcorn! – She says, before eating on the side of the shoulder I’m not on. - … Stop! Stop! I’m going to give you!
Since she wasn’t offering it to me, I started clutching her shoulder with my claws until she gave in.
- … This Gallinus is very weird. – Maria comments, looking at us.
- I thought spiritual animals would only like one type of food… - Gabel says.
- He was always like that, never listening to me and always wanting my food. – Suzy says, while giving me some popcorn.
Am I weird? So explain to me how this world can be so evolved and delayed at the same time!?
I need to talk to someone, or I’ll end up going crazy.
