Pam
Might! Might Might~! Wake up~!

Might
...Nnn. Uun...

Still wanting to stay in his comfortable dream world, his body was mercilessly jolted, until Might cracked open his eyes.

The bright sunlight flew into his eyes.

When he began closing his eyes again, they were wrenched back open by a loud voice echoing by his ear.

Pam
Mou~, it's useless to try and sleep, Might! There's really great weather today, let's hurry and head out!

Might
Yah..., goo' mornin', Pam...

Might squeezed that out in a hoarse voice. But, a carefree smiling face looked at him, and he couldn't help but smile.

Might
I understand, I'm up already.

Pam
Wa~i! Ne, ne, today we're going to the west forest! I wonder if we'll find dad and mom there?!

Might and Pam left to travel after they sealed the demon king, and many months of the year had passed.

Pam was half human and half beastman... But, after a lifelong separation Pam didn't even know his parents. To find his parents, they were traveling around the world.

Might
Yeah, I hope we find them. People rarely go into that forest.

Pam
Yeah yeah, that's right! So let's go right away.

Might
There really is good weather today. The sunlight is dazzling...

Might looked up at the sky, between the gaps of the trees the light shining through made him narrow his eyes.

Pam
Ah, Might, that's dangerous~!

Might
Eh...?

Before Might could say something, Pam easily picked him up.

Pam
Look~, you should watch where you walk! You could have stumbled on that big root.

Might
Ah, thanks, Pam. ...Umm, you can put me down now?

Pam
Ehehe... I don't want to! I'm going to carry you so that you don't get hurt!

As he said that, Pam hugged Might tightly.

He still had an innocent face, but even though Pam's childishness remained, he was a foot taller than Might.

He was strong from the start because he was half beastman, but nowadays he was becoming even stronger. Might was like a baby in comparison.

Might
Th, that... Pam~!

As he held him, Might let out a miserable voice, and Pam looked at him with an innocent smile.

Pam
Ne, Might. I've gotten a lot bigger. And I like you a lot more too...

Pam
I want to love you too~!!

Might
Pam...

He truly wasn't malicious, and Might was very bewildered by the straightforward confession.

Compared to when they first met by chance, Pam truly had gotten a lot bigger. Might also understood Pam's feelings... But...

It's useless

Sooner or later
