624 Taken a Liking
It's still early in the day so I was deciding between wandering in the city or going to see griffon in his forest.
It took no time at all. I have no more business in this city.
I retraced a familiar path toward the exit.
I got lost for a bit before arriving at the same gate I took to enter this city.
I got past it without any issue and entered Acceleration, dashing off right after.
I ran for a while until a forest came into my view.
I undid Acceleration and went in. It's been smooth sailing so far. I plan to ask Griffon for a ride to Dwarf Kingdom.
(I did promise I'd pop up again. Oh right, I promised my mother I'd send her a letter. What do...)
Is there even a mail service in this world and where? I think there's one, but then I've got another problem.
"I don't know my village's name."
Or rather, I never made an attempt to find out. I'm never coming back there after all.
Nevertheless I'd like to send my parents a letter at least. However.
"Well, I can always do that later. Not like I'm in a hurry or anything."
'I'm gonna find somewhere to settle down first', I thought as I shoved away that idea in the corner of my mind.
I made my way to Griffon's turf inside the forest.

I came across a familiar face long missing along the way. Chimera.
It seems to be having a blast inside the forest. It's dirty all over but it doesn't seem hurt anywhere.
Chimera snuggled on my leg like usual as it 'meow'ed.
"Ooh, I was wondering why you never showed up in the coliseum city, you took a liking to this forest huh. I'm glad for you. Are you gonna settle down here?"
'Meow', Chimera replied. It really seems to have taken to this forest.
"Guess this is goodbye then. That's so nice. You found yourself a nice spot. I'm envious. Here here, have a rubdown. And here I am, still with a shaky future."
I kept brushing Chimera all over. I carried the purring Chimera in my arms as I resumed walking to where Griffon is.
Eventually I arrived at an open spot in the middle of the forest. But I didn't see Griffon anywhere.
I sat down on a tree stump and waited. All while playing with Chimera in my arms.
After some time, Griffon came down from the sky. With a tag on its neck of course.
"Yo, here I am... Hm? Have you gotten bigger?"
I walked up to Griffon and rubbed its chin. Which made it clear to me that it did get bigger since the last time I saw it.
"You grew up? Or did you regain your actual build? Either way, I'm just glad you're doing well."
'Kuee', Griffon cried and rubbed its head on me. From someone else perspective, it must look like it was trying to crush me. But in reality, Griffon is just acting spoiled.
"Griffon, do you mind letting me ride on your back again? I want to go to that mountain over there. Can I count on you?"
'Kuekku!', Griffon gave a firm reply. It's weird how I could tell that translated to, "OK!"
Thus I departed on an air trip riding on Griffon with Dwarf Kingdom as my destination.
