At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

Hiu, Po.

Throw your own simple fishing rod and watch it blur.

... Ha, I've been asleep for a short time now.

Hmm, I wonder if the training has been too hard on the boulders lately.

Good thing Mr. Inai stopped me.

I'm drooling my fishing rod. I feel good about my time. I haven't caught it at all.

... Ha, I was asleep again.

I don't know, this might not work. If it stays like this, the fishing rod could be eaten by the fish if you notice it.

You'd think it was a joke, wouldn't you? I'm not kidding.

I can be serious because I saw a big one about two meters in this river I'm fishing on right now.

Two meters in the river is a crocodile.

Um, I'm not gonna eat it. I'm supposed to be doing it for exactly two hours while I utout.

You're getting a little hungry... once you get home?

"I didn't catch it."

Turning to that voice, Mr. Inai stood.

She is still wearing a pretty frilly skirt and a cute floral jacket today.

I had no idea. Am I too confused?

"You can't catch it."

I answer with a smile. You don't have to catch anything.

Because I just want to relax and hang my fishing rod. But I can't get you to sleep.

"You, you've been asleep a few times."

"Haha, do you understand?

Mr. Inai takes the handkerchief out of the bag he brought with a laugh and wipes my mouth.

"Who is it?"

What an embarrassing proof.

"Did Inai come fishing too?

Change the subject to lighting. Maybe not.

"Nha, I brought this. You eat, don't you?"

That's what I said, Mr. Inai, who takes the sandwich out of his bag.

"Thank you. I was just getting hungry."

"Oh well, that's good"

That's what Inai says, he brings sandwiches to my mouth.

"Uh, that."

"You have a fishing rod. Eat."

"Oh, yes."

I have it with both hands, but there was something there that I couldn't say was okay with one hand.

So I eat heavily out of the hand she offers.

"Momogu, delicious"

"Oh well, that's good"

Mr. Inai smiles looking over the river.

When you chew and swallow, a sandwich comes to your mouth again. So I eat again.

Until he ate one of those, Inai served a water bottle and made some tea.

"Look, it's cold."

"Oh, thank you"

I also drink the tea from the cup that Inai has just now.

Something, a little embarrassing. It's not like anybody's watching me, but something, right?

I just thought it was awesome. Inai doesn't feel pressed for that behavior.

Gives me when I want to eat and drink.

So I'm ashamed, but I'm in the right mood. Good, like this.

That's how you two eat a sandwich, and she turns around behind me and sits down.

A mild body temperature came through my back.

"Mr. Inai?

"Stay like this for a second. Good cheer today. Sometimes I want to blur out."

Indeed, Mr. Inai has no need to go outside except for laundry and shopping.

Basically, he spends a lot of time in the house.

Thank you for everything, while I feel like it.

"Go ahead, if it's on your back like this"

I told you. The fishing rod is the same, nothing gets caught.

"Hey, Tallow."

When I was confused for quite some time, Inai talked to me.

"What is it?

"The way Tallow talks, it's not the way the earth talks, is it?

"Right."

I'm looking out for the people here, and they're all older.

The basics were because I wanted to speak politely, but there were also reasons why I wanted to speak politely to respectful girlfriends.

That's why it breaks when I'm caught off guard with the younger kids.

"I don't care. It's a good way to talk. The others probably don't care. Besides, if you talk hard forever, you feel a little distant."

"Um... should I collapse, please?

"I am."

"Really?"

Hmm, anyway, if you're like an idiot the other day, I'm a little reluctant not to use respectful language on older people, but is Inai better that way?

"Oh well, I get it. I'll do that to Mr. Inai for now."

"Mmm, good in Inai"

"Okay, Inai. And from now on,"

"Ooh."

I can't see the expression because I'm behind it, but I feel happy from my voice.

I hope it's not your fault.

After that, there was no conversation for a while and when I was confused, I felt that the weight deposited on my back had increased slightly.

... Could he have fallen asleep?

"Inai?"

I'll try to call you in a whisper, but I haven't heard back.

"I fell asleep, I wonder"

Then I'll just stay put.

It's not a good time. I have a reaction to the fishing rod, but I'll get my hands off you right away. Quick fishing rod.

Good for the simple fishing rod I made.

Say goodbye to the fishing rod that will be preyed on and enjoy the warm feeling on your back as you gaze at the sky.

The fact that people are around is comfortable.

When I did that for how long, I felt it move on my back in a vicious way.

I was asleep too, so I woke up.

"Wow, I was asleep."

I knew he was asleep. The rushing voice is a little cute.

"Fine, never mind. Because I know I'm always trying. Thanks."

I'm really sincere. Tell her I appreciate it.

They're always doing better, and the management of that house is on a level of who can do it without her.

I'm taking care of those people. It's amazing.

"... So, a little more, can we just stay like this?

Of course.

"... and-and-and"

I'm here to thank you.

Well, I owe you a back. Thank you.

"Hey, Tallow."

"Mm, what?

I feel Inai's voice is a little off.

I wonder what's wrong?

"What type of woman does Tallow like?

"Bufo!"

I accidentally blew it out. What do you suddenly come up with, this guy?

"Hey, what are you doing?

Well, I haven't spoken properly. You're in too much of a hurry.

"I didn't have a guy I liked. I didn't even know the type well. I understand there were some good guys around, but I didn't think I wanted to be with them or have those kids."

Is that it? Sounds like a hell of a more serious story than I thought.

"It's inevitable when Tsuru finds his lover, he's getting married, he's married, he's old."

Speaking of which, Inai looks young, so I'm going to forget, is that the year there?

Is there going to be a marriage story around, like, 25-7 right now? I don't know.

"I still thought it was a good idea. Until now, I've been fooling around, taking care of the grill, making all kinds of tools. Every day like that, I must have thought I'd be fun. In fact, life here was like that, and every day was fun."

Yeah, right. Inai looks like she really enjoys herself every day.

They do chores every day and work where they haven't seen them, but they look like they're having a lot of fun.

I know that you love everyone here.

I just noticed. Now Inai says it all in its past form.

"Tallow, maybe you've noticed, but our lives in the tree sea are almost over. Mirka and the cells are strained because of that. Don't feel bad. Do it. I don't necessarily get to work out the same way in the future. So I'm trying to do what I can."

Is that it? Something's suddenly changed the subject.

Was that what you said in the past, in that sense?

I wondered if even someone I really liked could have done it.

"Right. I miss Inai."

"Lonely, huh? Right. I miss you. After a while, they'll all fall apart."

Inai tells everyone what to expect in the future.

Lynn said she would decide by then whether to return to work as a knight or answer to the person being proposed for dowry.

You were being proposed...

Mr. Mirka seems to intend to get married when he leaves.

However, he doesn't intend to quit working in the country, and the person who will be his husband will know.

I wonder if I'll be that pompous feeling person.

They're getting married when Mr. Celes leaves, too.

If you waited eight years for me, I told him I'd be dowry, and he really waited for me, he said he was a long-held opponent.

I haven't seen him at all in eight years, though, and since he's the person I'm seeing there, Mr. Celes isn't satisfied either.

Mr. Aroness is going back to his hometown, the old king's capital.

It doesn't just take the form of quitting working in the country, but it seems to be based there.

He says while working as a pharmacist, it feels like the country's work, too.

Mr. Arne seems to have a workshop in Wang Du, and he's decided to work there.

He promises to make an apprentice, too, but I think that guy has a unique way of teaching, but I guess it's okay.

"... what about Inai?

No response from Inai.

However, when the body moves a little, it hardens and feels like it has been used several times.

I wonder if it's hard to say, about myself. I'm going to wait until Inai can tell me, and I look out at the sky.

"Oh, me."

After a while, Inai spoke up.

"Here, I was going to stay. I have the equipment here, and I have this bracelet, so distance isn't that much of a problem. Besides, I was trying to get them to come and see me."

I thought so. I mean, I guess not now.

"But I can't anymore."

Can't you?

"Something wrong with not being able to?

"No, it's not. Oh, no, I wonder if it fits in a way."

Hmm? What do you mean?

"Me too, a guy I like, I could do it. But maybe he could get away from this country. I started to think I missed waiting for him here."

Oh, Cheng Cheng.

Is it like trouble for Inai, who didn't think about it until then?

"I wasn't going to tell this story to anyone at first. I thought Mirka and Aroness would definitely find out, but I still couldn't tell you. I'm old, I'm away."

Are you older?

"But Mirka told me the other day. That has nothing to do with it. What do you want me to do?

I always take care of her, and that's for my sister, who's been taking care of her since she was a kid. I feel like he left something behind. "

Well, I thought you said these people have been friends since they were kids.

From Mr. Mirka's point of view, I'm sure it would have been more.

That guy is awesome straight.

"So I made up my mind"

I guess that means I'm going to confess to that other person.

Probably.

"Are you listening to me?

I hear a little anxious. Shit, I didn't even have a gavel.

"I'm listening. It's okay."

"Oh, shit, that's good. Honestly, I'm not sure I can do this twice."

Did you tell me such a temperament story?

I'm glad to hear something. Can I make her feel so close to them?

Awesome, glad.

"Good luck. Inai will be fine. There's no such thing as a man who doesn't like to be confessed to such a beautiful girl. If he was here, he'd have a taste for men."

I joke a little, trying to lighten Inai's mind a little bit.

"... really, you think?

"Yeah, it's cute. Inai is definitely cute"

"I'm, like, 35 years too old, right?

"... Huh?

Ugh, I thought you were younger.

You looked like a child in the first place, so your age was unknown. It was amazing, but your age is unknown.

No, but that's why I'm telling you what it is. Doesn't it matter how old you are?

Plus, looks don't really matter to me either.

Of course, I'm not going to re-say that Inai is a beautiful girl.

But she's got something nicer than that.

I'm comfortable beside her. That is a very nice thing.

I honestly conveyed the idea.

"... yeah, right"

Something doesn't seem to please you.

... Isn't this a story that someone else tells you, or that you can be so confident?

"Tallow, I'll only say it once. I mean, I don't feel like I can say it twice, so listen carefully."

That's what Inai said in a weaker voice than I've ever heard. I feel like I'm shaking.

"Okay, listen carefully"

That said, be quiet, and clear your ears so you don't miss a word by word.

"Maybe the trigger itself is because I heard the word that I could be seen as a woman. I actually know that's not true in reason. But I was happy. Because of the way it looks, because no one ever told me that way."

Trembling Inai continues. My voice is rubbing more.

"So honestly, I don't know how long I've been aware of my thoughts so clearly. But I'm pretty sure I realized that. I said I like him. He said he liked it."

So separated, clearly, in a voice that goes well, Inai said.

"I like you. If you're going on a journey, I want to follow you. I don't mind staying here. I'll take care of him until he sprouts his life foundation."

Yes, they confessed to shock.

"Heh, the reply doesn't have to be now! I'm going home first!

That said, he suddenly left and ran at an awesome rate.

That? Inai speed, faster than me without that exterior, huh?

No, what more than that? You like me? Inai?

I'm sure it wasn't delicious, watching fragments of the fishing rod flow up to my side, worrying about how I replied.

Don't you like it? If they ask, they'll like that.

But is that what you like about men and women? If they ask, I honestly don't know.

However, I'm pretty sure it's comfortable beside Inai.

... don't delude the neighborhood or force it to conclude, shall we talk about it?

And still, let me ask you if you'll stay by my side.

Is that cowardice? I think it's cowardice. Hmm. But I can't think of a good idea.

Oh, well, you didn't really understand that you like women in the first place.

Thanks to Inai, I figured that out. I don't know what's good about me.

Especially in this world, I don't think there's anything good about it, me.

... Oh, I noticed.

You're thinking of Inai's words in the right direction.

What, so it's settled? It's going to piss me off that it's light, but let's be honest with our minds about this stuff.

I have to go apologize if I can see Sigal. Let me go to Wangdu for a moment next time.

While recovering the fragments of the fishing rod, he gooped down the giant fish that jumped for it and made it a souvenir to go home.
