Although Kirlia's psychic power wasn't enough to make someone float, it could still provide a little help. Its output was already high, and the closer it was to me, the more power it could exert. This could keep muscles from tiring under gravity, and since Life Dew could restore him, it should have been quite soothing for Yuuri. That was the purpose of this little operation.
"It's a plan that kills two birds with one stone: Yuuri gets to rest, and I get to have fun, right?"
"Ah, thank you."
"No, no~"
I hadn't managed to act like a senior lately on our travels, so at times like this, I had to show my seniority.
"It's good for you, Yuuri."
"Wh-what is this!?"
I thought it would have been cool if I could get a firm grip on the bag, but mine was a backpack, so it would get in the way if I wore it on my back. Moving it around to the front felt a little strange.
"Uh, your back is so big."
"Really? I don't think there's that much difference between our heights."
It made me a little sad that I was shorter than a young girl, but never mind.
"That's not what I meant, idiot."
"Hey, Yuuri? Don't turn your head!? I-I'm ticklish-wah!?"
"Ah, ah, Furia, don't make weird noises either."
Even if he said that, I couldn't help it. His bangs tickled the back of my neck, and they were really clingy.
"Enough already, wah, wah."
"Sleepy?"
"Just a little."
"Just get some sleep. These unfamiliar slopes wore you out, didn't they? Get some rest."
"Yeah, thanks. I'll do that."
Steady, rhythmic breathing came from behind me. It seemed he really was tired after all.
"Could we go a little slower?"
"That might help."
"Understood.
