“Eh? Really?! It’s been 10 years? But the two of you hardly ever talk at the academy? So I didn’t know…”

“…”

Come to think of it, it definitely seems like that.

It’s not that she’s not, it’s that she and I hadn’t really talked at school before.

As I was amazed at the fact that I had learned anew, Iinazuke replied.

“Shujinkou-kun hates me talking to him at the academy…”

While doing so, she gave a pitiful expression.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Hey. I’m trash, then.”

However, she was still only making a pitiful expression.

“…”

But it was also true… It was me who couldn’t even refute it.

***

Actually, this trend has been going on since I was in middle school.

How narcissistic and violent he was when he was alone with me, goose bumps when he went to school and showed a humble and innocent side…

So, as her school shunned her, she and I stopped talking to each other.

And this trend was the same as of now. I should see the same side of him now, even when it’s just the two of us, but… But it was my personal feeling that I didn’t want to face him as much as possible.

But she thought that it happened naturally because of her own consideration.

Recognizing him, I felt a bit surprised.

Not because I was grateful, but because I couldn’t have imagined that that brazen guy knew the concept of consideration.

As I was amazed at the fact that I realized for the first time, Igiris Riko’s question continued.

“But why does Iinazuke-chan call Shujinko-kun by his last name? And why does Shujinko-kun call Iinazuke-chan… Eh? You called him by his first name! Come to think of it!”

“…Are you aware of that now…”

Then Igiris Riko, who had a surprised expression on her face, spoke in succession.

“I didn’t know it was so natural!”

“…”

Well, looking at it that way, maybe I didn’t know.

How many people live their lives paying attention to whether others call each other by their last name or by their first name.

Besides, since he called Iinazuke by his first name instead of his last name, it might have been difficult for him to recognize him because he got used to it.

“But why do you only call Shujinko-kun by name?”

To Riko’s question that followed, Ii Nazuke, who was looking at her with a smile, said.

“The reason why I call Haiseki-kun Shujinko-kun… This and that happened, but now I’m more used to it, so it’s like that, Riko-chan.”

“Hey…”

“…”

When Nazuke Ii didn’t give a clear answer, Riko Igirisu noticed that she didn’t ask any more questions.

You might think that there is something complicated about her, but… Actually, it’s not a big deal when it comes to things like this.

After that, feeling betrayed, she was calling me by her last name, she said.

…Thinking about it, it seems like something special.

Big! Anyway, anyway, the reason why I still call them by their last name is because I’m used to it. It was a fact I didn’t know.

Well, I’ve never really been curious about it.

Riko Igiris, who was looking at us with a surprised expression, muttered with a serious face as if she was reminiscing about something.

“…10 Years… Come to think of it, me too, 10 years ago, that child…”

“…10 Years ago?”

What, was there something else I didn’t know about?

“What is it?”

When I asked her if there was anything else that didn’t appear in her original story, she shook her head and said,

“As expected, it’s nothing. You don’t have to worry about it.”

She evades her answer.

“Jotto! Wait! Why don’t you wait!!”

And just then, as Osana Najimi, who was annoyed with me, appeared, the work was completed in a hazy manner.

“…”

And it was after some time had passed that I remembered it again.

But…

Well, it wasn’t supposed to be particularly important, so I decided to just move on. That’s because it was obvious that it wouldn’t be that important, considering that it was something that never appeared in the original work.

***

With all of us gathered like that, we started to carry out our duties as a breeder.

In charge of breeding.

Just by looking at the feeling, it might feel like it was a bit tricky, but in fact, it wasn’t such a great job.

Because the job of the breeder was to clean the kennel and feed the animals.

My job was cleaning the chicken farm.

If there were a lot of chickens, it might have been difficult because there were so many things to worry about, but since there are only two hens raised here, it wasn’t too difficult.

But even so, there was still an absolute amount of work to do, so I had to move my body diligently.

How long has it been since you started cleaning the chicken coop?

In the middle of my work, Iinazuke approached me at some point and started helping me.

It seems that she was a little too quiet.

When I said thank you, she responded with a smile.

Just like that, time passed again.

While I was still cleaning the kennel, I began to hear the conversation between Osana Najimi and Igiris Riko from some distance away.

“Yes, Riko-chan. Do you like Japanese anime?”

“Haaa of that of course? There’s no way I wouldn’t like Japanese animation, right? Just like ‘Your Blade’, it’s a culture that’s popular in the world, Japanese anime.”

Then Osana Najimi gets excited and starts talking.

“As expected, Rico-chan knows what! As expected, this theatrical version was amazing! As expected, Japanese animation is the best!”

“hehehe, Najimi-chan is amazing too? Every time I see her, she is very knowledgeable about such a good culture.”

And a moment of silence followed. Soon after, Riko Igiris opened her mouth.

“Actually… I envy Najimi-chan.”

“Eh? Me?”

“Yeah, since I was young, I left Japan and went to England, right? That’s why I don’t know much of such a good culture like Najimi-chan. That’s why I envy Najimi-chan, who grew up in Japan and loves Japan like this.. .”

“Eh? Rico-chan…!”

“Well, but now that I’m back in Japan.”

“Yes, yes..! Because I came to Japan! Rico-chan, you just need to get to know me now..!”

“Yes..! Najimi-chan!”

“……”

Crazy b*tches. Really crazy guys.

He was silent for a while, and when he tried to talk about something serious, he found out that he was talking sh*t about Osana Najimi, who had been through a lot of Japanese culture, saying that he was envious of her.

I can assure you, even in the original, it wasn’t that level of madness.

Igiris Rico in the original work, no matter how much he is a heroine with a tendency to be greedy, likes ramen in the first place! I like tonkatsu! She would have stayed at that level if she did.

But now she…

Ha…

What kind of synergy did the two of them get together to make them go crazy…

Now I don’t even know.

“……”

…By the way.

I wonder if this guy was listening right next to me every time…

“… Hey.”

“Why, Shujinko-kun?”

“They do that even in front of you.”

Then she answered calmly while still cleaning.

“Well… In most cases, we do have conversations like that, Najimi-chan and Rico-chan.”

“…Are you okay?”

She is pondering for a moment when asked if she is cringing on me.

She started speaking calmly again.

“Hmm… Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable, too, but it’s just Rico-chan and Najimi-chan’s thoughts, so I think I can do it and move on.”

“…”

Unexpectedly, she is very tolerant.

You know how to understand this…

Not only did I know the concept of caring today, but I was just amazed by the new features of her.

…No but.

“But why aren’t you so tolerant of me when you know how to think about them?”

If the target is only me, why are the standards so persecuted?

Then she didn’t give me any answers to my question. If she suddenly became deaf, despite my ensuing question, she didn’t give me any answer.

“…”

I heard that even animals don’t bite the person who raised me. Tsk.

Ha… All the years I’ve been raising him seem like wasted time.

As I was cleaning again, feeling such bitterness, I started to hear the conversation sounds of the Gukppong girls passionately talking far away.

Now, listening to something, it seems that what they are talking about is still about Annie.

“…”

The children in the anime are the story of the anime…

I don’t know if those guys know that this world was the world in the anime in the first place.

No, no Ali.

Perhaps no one will know that such nonsense is real, unless it is someone like me who came in directly.

“…”

Yeah… Nobody knows.

“…… Hey.”

“Why, Shujinko-kun?”

Iinazuke answered right away when I spoke to him.

…It seemed that he suddenly became deaf.

Her annoyance at her moment I was wondering if I would get her annoyed at her, but I regained her composure and asked her.

“…What kind of world do you think this world will be?”

Then she starts to worry. However, she soon asked me as if she did not understand English.

“Um… Well? What do you mean, Shujinkoo-kun?”

“…”

After her momentary hesitation, I asked her a specific question.

“Maybe… Could this world be the world in the anime?”

Then she tilted her head. However, contrary to the expectation that she would immediately answer, “I don’t know,” She answered as if she was thinking about it for a while even to a somewhat out of the blue question.

“Um… Well? I can’t say there’s no possibility of that, but… Still, there’s no way people in the world in anime or cartoons can think like this? You can’t even feel emotions. Things like happiness and anger are also real. So, wouldn’t that happen?”

“……”

At her words, I felt something indescribable.
