When I returned to the orphanage, I told my sister that I might be able to visit Sakuya-chan.

Will I get to see Sakuya-chan?

'Yeah, I checked with my grandfather, so I can go see him if the director lets me.'

Wow! I'll go talk to the director!

She couldn't wait and ran to the director.

I went to the director's office at a leisurely pace. She was talking to the director in a very excited manner.

When the Director noticed me coming, he said

Wouldn't it bother you to go over there?

He asked.

'It's okay,'

I replied, and told him that we would meet outside the forest, that I was going to make a place to meet for my woodworking practice, and that he could bring Cruz and the others with him. I fooled him by saying that the reason we didn't meet at my grandfather's house was for the sake of the magic tools.

'Isn't that getting annoying...?'

'Sakuya-chan wanted to meet you too, and your grandfather's is like a hobby, so it's okay.'

'Really? Then you can go.

'Yes~!'

My sister had a big smile on her face.

I told Cruz and Ilya that I was going to visit their grandfather.

The day of the collection arrived and the day of the visit to Grandpa's place arrived. I saved some extra fruit for Sakuya to take home with me.

My sister has been working hard all morning.

The usual gathering members told the usual soldiers that we were going to visit my grandfather.

We were headed to a different place than we usually do, so we all kept an eye out for our surroundings.

After a few hours of walking, we arrived at the rocky area where we wanted to go.

Sakuya-chan!

Suddenly, my little sister shouted and started to run suddenly.

When I looked in the direction of her running, I saw that the old men were already there.

'We wanted to meet you~'

''Me too!''

When she arrived at Sakuya-chan's place, her sister was happy to hug Sakuya-chan. Sakuya-chan looks happy too.

The grandfather and grandmother are smiling at the two of them.

''Good morning!''

You're late!

Oh, dear. Welcome.

We caught up with them and said hello to the old men.

Well, it's a good thing that they're here, but what do you want to do today?

'Master! You can train me today!

Yeah? Right, so I'll do that.

'Do you think I'll learn a lot from my grandmother? They'll have to watch.

Well, well, what shall I do~

I heard that Cruz is with his grandfather and Ilya is with his grandmother.

Grandpa, were you able to cut down the tree?

Oh, I'm bringing it back.

The grandfather pointed in the direction of the pile of trees.

Thank you. I'm going to try my hand at woodworking.

Do you want some help?

Do you think we'll be able to get Mr. Cruz to help us for a little while longer?

All right. If you need a hand, just let me know!

Yeah, thanks.

This was how we decided what to do for the time being.

Well, let's make a perch before the drying experiment.

I cleaned off the branches of the tree. Grandpa had cut the tree as it was, so the branches were stuck to it.

I removed the leaves from the branches and tied them together in a crisscross pattern with sturdy-looking branches.

Stick a few of these around the perimeter of the tree, and you've got a perch for Py-chan and his friends!

There are a few trees around, but we didn't have any nearby, so I felt sorry for them, so they must have been happy to see me.

I'm thinking of taking it to the orphanage, too...
