The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"Oh, I thought a beautiful princess had arrived, and she was a turtle." Welcome home. "

"... I'm home"

Meet Crore, who was waiting in the back alley, and greet him indescribably, making him feel indescribably complicated, while we go from the hidden door in the back alley to Crore's home.

"Welcome back, Croah.... and Miss Sakura, I wonder." Nicely done. Would you be willing to work as my secret detective? ”

"I don't know..."

That's where Crore's [father] told me about it, and I wanted to take off my dress more and more quickly!

I'm a man, so I'm going to take off my dress here. Don't take it off anymore.

"Ah, come on. I'll let you take it off properly, so wait a little longer." Your makeup's on the dress.

... it seems that it's hard to take off the dress, so I decided to keep it quiet.... women's clothes are a pain in the ass.

The women waiting in the room were delighted to surround me. The joy made me feel very complicated. [M] Next to that, Crore and Laocles reported to each other, and [Father] was satisfied to hear about it. For the time being, it seems that our operation was a success. That's good. That's good.

It's pretty much fine, isn't it?

"I see... perhaps the most important problem is that the son of the Violon family has a favourable opinion of [Sakura Rodan]."

... no, it's not good. What's that? Oh, my God!

"Oh my..."

"I got a quarrel saying, 'Sola's knight must have fallen to the ground with such a pathetic and innocent maiden in his hand.'"

I can't comment on anything. No, he's got a hole in his eye. Laocres hasn't fallen to the ground, and I'm not a maiden in the first place. I want you to stop.

"But that's it, that's all." As for the violin, it seems that I am worried about [Sakura Rodan], but I don't think I noticed that the researchers of the summon beast cut them and followed them here. "

”Worst part, there's nothing wrong with being noticed... but I'm not stupid”

... I have to revise Violon-san's rating downwards.

No, he can't. "It's really, really bad...!"

"Well, the Violon family will be under some surveillance." Can I leave it to the researchers? "

"Of course, it's the job we're supposed to do." I'm rather sorry I left you to it this time. "

That brings the meeting to a close. From now on, I washed out all the research groups related to the Summon Monsters and thoroughly seduced them or put pressure on them.

Regarding seduction, Fairy Magic Research is hot right now! It seems that you are going to launch a campaign. As a researcher, I would be more happy to do research on the magic of the fairy who becomes money than research on the magic of the summoning beast who does not become money. Soleila is just doing a good job of researching the magic of the fairy.

After that, [Father] laughed with Ms. Crore... and said suddenly.

"I've got a good girl."

"Fufu. Thank you very much, 'Father'"

Crore laughed... and looked back at me and smiled again.

"Good day to you too, [daughter]"

Yeah.

I'm really tired. I won't do it again.

After a lot of talking, I was able to finally get dressed, remove my makeup, and get back to my original look. Thank goodness!

"Men are limited to pants, after all."

Your legs are finally calming down. Here we go. This is what we have to do.

"Yeah? But the clothes in the country at night aren't pants, are they?"

Oh, I see. Many people dress like a dress in the country of the night.... well, that's because it's cultural.

"By the way, I wonder which one is Rene after all..."

"Come on...."

By the way, the gender of Renée is already unknown... "

After getting dressed and feeling refreshed, we go back to the inn. It is already late today, so I decided to go back to the forest tomorrow.

When I arrived at the inn, ate dinner, took a bath and was refreshed, I felt somewhat sleepy. If you don't get used to it, you'll be very tired.

So it was still early, but I decided to go to sleep first. I went into my room and hung on a bed that felt good. Speaking of which, the dress I was wearing today felt like this sheets. I was in a hurry to shake off my thoughts...

... it seems that I fell asleep while doing so.

Sleep tight and wake up.

... I thought you were awake, but it's still dark outside the window.

When I looked at the watch, it was about as soon as the date changed. Looks like I woke up weird. Well, there are days like this.

Even when I woke up, I was still in bed, but somehow I was thirsty, so I got out of bed. Let's go get some water.

... just when I was trying to open the door to the room.

"In fact, you must have imagined it. If you weren't my [daughter], even if you were my own."

I heard a voice from behind the door, and I pulled my hand back to the door knob.

Instead, I softly listened near the door and listened to the voices of Crore and Laocles, who seemed to be talking on the other side.

"Do you have any reason to think that?"

Lao Cres' voice sounded a little louder than usual. Maybe it's because of the alcohol.

"As you know, I'm not the kind of person who thinks." If you say so, it's a tiny amount. I don't think you deserve to be a parent. ”

"Well, that's right." Your love... it's a little too hot for a parent to a child. From the perspective of Togo-kun, I might feel like a "father", but the truth is, I wonder what that is. Or...... Spirit Lord and his followers? "

"You're very fond of me, aren't you..."

Laocles' voice is louder than usual, and it's easier to see emotions than usual... maybe a little younger.

His voice, which I've always heard, was calm and like a boulder in front of me... but now Laocles' voice is a little lighter, and the shades are not monotone. That's the way it is.

"I see... then, if you were a [Guardian] of Tuogo, did you ever think about it? What if you had the right to protect and guide you? Hey, what do you say?"

Her voice was a little different than usual. I feel a bit more uneven than when I talk to you. [M] Fluffy, light and pleasant to the touch, like silky cloth, like smooth sweet honey... that kind of voice. This may also be due to alcohol.

"By the way, I only have a few things." Who are you? "

"... that's right."

After Laocles' reply, the silence ran. Then, the sound of the liquid pouring into the glass continues. You're both drinking, after all.

“From the edge of his words, I felt uncomfortable in his home.”

After listening to Lao Cres' words, I feel a little uncomfortable listening.

After all, you know, there is a bit of a shock about giving up, and I was going to try not to worry about it as much as possible, but maybe I wanted various people to notice my shallowness, or I feel like I've seen something like that and I fall into self-loathing.

"Now it's time to get used to being completely stroked by the cane. At first, when I put my hand over my head, I was sometimes frightened for a moment."

"Oh... that's it"

The two exchanged words, and then there was a little silence... and after the sound of Katan and the glass on the table, the voice of Laocles sounded like a sigh.

"That's why... you're so exhilarating." I've never thought about it, I can't say. "

I knew it. You're a loving knight.

and the laughter of Mr. Crore echoes. Probably across from Crore, Lao Cres has an extremely sinister face.

"... if you want to laugh, laugh"

"I don't smile, but I don't laugh." It's something similar to me. "

Crore continued after a moment of silence, still giggling.

"I'm not as modest as you, so I'm going to be frank and want to make you happy." Well, I'm not the one who can't hold you as responsible or as obsessive as you, though. But I've thought, "I can do better than that."

The sound of the glass sitting on the table, and Crore's voice echoed with great bewilderment.

”Fufu, you're arrogant, aren't you?”

"... well, that's right."

Even if I heard Crore's sweet voice directly in front of me, I'm sure Lao Cres hasn't changed his expression one by one. I thought, "I'm listening to the voice behind the door."

"I'm similar." I'm going to be more humble than you. "

"Oh no? I thought you wanted to keep Togo-kun locked up?" Can you say that you have no longing for a situation where you can protect only yourself? "

"... what do you want to say?"

Laocles asked back in a slightly low voice. That's somehow different from what Lao Cres used to be, so along with Crore's voice just now, it feels like you're eavesdropping.

"I'd like to say, 'It can't be helped.'" I mean, you're cute, Togo-kun. "

... when I thought about it, Crore said it in a very bright voice.

"I want to protect you because you're cute." So do I. I want to protect you, I want to make you happy, mysteriously. Anyway, I want to keep it in a cage... no, I want to stroke it with a blanket. It might be nice for a bird to hold an egg like an egg. "

I imagined it for a moment. The blanket is wrapping me around, and I'm being held by Mr. Crore.

... oh, restless!

Then you want to be a little mean.

"Oh, what is that in the social world?" What kind of stuff are you going to put in the cane? "

"That's not mean." I'll do my best if I have a kid who works as a detective. It is more dangerous to fail. This time, I put a lot of attention into the magic of attracting gems, and it worked quite well, didn't it? "

”That's the kind of thing, that's... no, but don't try to make a spy on Turtles”

Yeah. I don't think I'm a good detective, Mr. Crore.

"... well, I'm stuck and wrapped up, and I can't move, and I want to be mean." "But after all, I want to make you paint..." That's why you can't put them in a cage, and you have to wrap them in a blanket even occasionally. "

That's right.

"I want you to be free, and I want you to be happy. I want to protect you, but I'm looking forward to nesting someday.... oh, is this motherhood? Hey, what do you think?"

"... I'm sorry, but I can't remember my mother much, so I don't know what it's like to be a mother."

Laocles answered with a slightly troubled voice, and Crore was right? and responds with a slightly unhappy voice. In the middle of Laocles' story, there was a rumbling and pouring of alcohol. I wonder which glass you're pouring into.

"Well... sure, it might be a little different from motherhood." It's harder and heavier than yours. So, mine is too light and thin. Ah, let me have some alcohol, too. "

And after the joyful voice of Croah, and the pouring of wine, and the pouring of wine, both of them drink well. I wish I wasn't hungover tomorrow.

"... nevertheless, I was going to live a life far removed from such emotions." Even so, I was surprised to find out that this was happening all of a sudden. "

Well, that's a good thing the detectives didn't do it in time.

When LaoCles returns with a dazed voice, Crore replies with a giggle, "Yeah, I think I know somehow what the two of them look like." Maybe it's a stunned, funny face, I'm sure.

"That's right, Lila used to say that.” Maybe if you're cute, you'll become cute ”

Ah... ahhh, that's what I'm often called! I'm not that cute, but even if you say, "You're cute and you're cute, you're definitely cute", you'll say with serious eyes! Something's wrong with Lyla's senses!

I think that's true.

That's right.

Don't be so sure! I don't want you to say yes! Then it's like I'm cute!

"But that's probably because if you're cute, you're going to become cute."

Huh.

”Touching the beautiful things, embraced by the rich nature, stroking Togo-kun, making sweets with the fairies... and when I do, I feel like I'm going to become something like that”

Ms. Crore giggled and said.

"Thanks to you, I've become much more [forest-like]!"

"... well, I was happy to be a 'guardian', but I was feeling like I wasn't a good fit for a 'parent'."

Well, so am I.

Both of them seem to have settled down, and they can hear the sound of placing a glass. Maybe he's finished drinking.

"Don't be too selfish when it comes to parents." Me and you, too. "

"That's right... but being a guardian makes you happy." Such a beautiful creature needs it, sweetens it, and stretches its wings happily... it's so cute, so cute, I can't help it anymore. I'm sure you are, too. "

I mean, you're so selfish.

I see.

Laocles, who cut and threw away the batter without much words about herself or the lid, and Crore, who agrees with it, have a look on their face right now.

"... it seems that Turtle is doing well in the other world." Recently, we have lost the courage to negotiate.... but you need a guardian, I guess. I know, and so do I. "

"Well, one way or another, we're just being saved face to face with our guardians." I don't think we're going to be the guardians..... "

Only the giggling voice of Crore and the sign of Lao Cres laughing to the point of shaking her shoulders came through the door.

So... there I was, kind of. I... I'm starting to want to say it.

Open the door.

Um, no.

When I showed my face, both of them looked at me with a sharp face. [M]

Oh, my God, Togo-kun, are you awake?

Oh, I didn't think Crore would notice. As far as I can see from this reaction, Mr. Crore really didn't notice my sign. Can I see that I have the qualities of a detective? [M]

... no, I'm sure Crore was a little confused by the alcohol, and I was relieved that Lao Cres was here, so I guess he didn't notice.

"I, the two of you... I was really, really saved." I'm being rescued. "

Continuing to do so with their faces out of the door gap, both Laocles and Crore seemed to have noticed that it was a response to the conversation they had just had.

"So, it's not like that... it's not like I'm facing a guardian on my own... I feel like a father or a mother to you... I don't want that, but I never thought I'd hate it..."

And as for me, I'm a little stuck in words. I wish you hadn't thought about what you were going to say. "Um..."

"Um, please, thank you for your continued support..."

... after all.

After thinking about it, you just say that and bow.

Since I bowed, I have been worried about whether this is good or not, but I can't ask if it is good or not, because both of them are very worried.

... while it was awkward, I stepped out for a moment, went through the two of them and drank the water at the sink, and then went back to my room through the two of them.

"... good night!"

When I say hello, they finally move.

"... oh, good night"

"Fufufu, good night!"

Lao Cres is a little awkward, but he smiles like he's answering "It's being passed on."

Kuroa-san said, "You've done it! 'Like, with a slightly embarrassing smile.

As soon as I heard each 'good night', I somehow calmed down and closed the door of the room gently.

...... If you dive into the bed, you'll be fluffy and drowsy.

This time, you'll be able to get a good night's sleep without waking up on the way.
