Akuyaku Reijo no Otouto

I put my hand on Maritime's cheek and said, "If you look closely, you have a shadow.," he murmurs. Maritime gave him a surprised look for a moment, but immediately turned his face bright red and said, "Toh... Dear Troo...! scream." I put my hands down in a hurry and apologized.

"... I'm sorry... If you ask me, I caught a glimpse of the shadows back then and I missed them... But it's not indiscreet, Master Maritime, if you'll excuse me." Now I apologize.

I knew you'd be pissed off, but Maritime said, "No! I'm not angry just because I'm surprised!," he says. That would be nice... and I thought, "At the time, I was only 5 years old, but I remember that time very well...," he says.

At the time, I was desperate to get used to this world.

"... and Dear Maritime, please stop saluting me. I'm not as good as asking you to use those words.

"... If you're going to say that, Master Troo is the one whose way of speaking is back to saluting... If Master Troo won't let me back, I won't either.

I broke into that Maritime stubborn attitude. "... So this is it? Respond." Then Maritime said happily, "Yes! So please. I said."

But Maritime is not back to normal.

"What!? Dear Maritime, as always...!

"I'll stay like this. Master Troo is a respectful being who gave me a reason to live. That's still the same now. Therefore, we cannot change this way of speaking as much as we can, Master Troo.

"... I said stop being such a respectful person...

"That would be so. I didn't like it when it just seemed like I was walking over. Besides, my salutation is not used to distance myself from Master Troo, but to clarify the relationship between the top and bottom.

"... well fine. I guess it won't change where I said it anyway. [M] That's more than just now...

And I gave Maritime my hand. [M] Maritime looks strange and grips back.

"... Sometimes it's good. Even I don't have any friends to talk to Matomo about. If you need any help, please.

"...! Thank you! Please let me know anything! Um... Master Troo... are you feeling okay...? You said you couldn't live until you were 15, so I thought you were sick...

I thought about what excuse I would make for that word. [M]

It's too late to set it up now for sickness or sickness to tell the truth...

"... I can't tell you why... but I'll just tell you that I'm not sick or weak. So don't worry about me, Master Maritime.

"... ok. You have a reason, don't you? And Master Troo... please call me Cole about me. I miss you because you stopped saluting me and only gave me your name...

Maritime is different from the earlier stubborn attitude, and the next step is to behave in a nasty manner. I used that rare look to sort of say, "Oh, no! All right, man! Cole, I'll call you that next time, Cole..." and dropped.
