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

"Hmm."

Grandpa Herzo leans his neck against the hand I pointed to and begins his long thought.

But after a while, I move the pawn with a slightly lost hand.

As usual, I immediately hit my next hand. [M]

"Mmm... you've done it"

"... surrender?

"No, no, not yet"

Grandpa laughs nigga at my question.

And although I only thought a little, I moved the pawn with a shorter hand than I had just done.

It was a move within the expected scope, so I will respond immediately.

"... this time, it won't shake."

"Hehe, what do you think?

Grandpa laughs invincibly at my unbeatable proclamation and goes further with the pawn.

But gradually the hand became a little suspicious, and I began to get a bitter hand.

That's what Grandpa does, though. I can't even throw away the possibility that I'm showing it that way.

"Um, this is..."

Grandpa rubbed his jaw, and he went into long-thinking again.

Looking seriously at Grandpa on the board, I also think about my next hand.

Wait as you make your predictions that you will be hitting here or coming off.

"Here, I guess"

"... I knew it, Grandpa, it's cunning"

"Ha ha, it's of the art to be cunning, isn't it?

It looks like Grandpa was pushed this far and ready to go down.

I'm surprised at the breadth of my hand, but still I wasn't completely expecting it.

I have my hands from here too, and I'm still better off considering the status quo alone.

"... we're gonna win this right today."

"Hehe, I'm not gonna lose that easy either."

Grandpa proceeds with a pawn laughing invincibly.

I'm going to go ahead with the pawn with the intention of winning today.

And...

"... missed"

I lost. Funny, it was really in my favor to get on the way.

It was really advantageous, even though it was worth the effort.

"Hehe, that was critical. Hey, it was dangerous."

"... but losing is losing"

"What the hell. I just won this one, and I don't know what's gonna happen next, okay?

"... Mmm."

Regrettably. I thought today would be a good day to win.

No, not yet, we still have time and one more time.

"... one more time"

"Yeah, I don't mind. We still have time today."

"... how many times can you do that?

"Well, I was wondering if I could do it twice if it was the same as earlier."

On two occasions, I guess it ends around lunch.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I shouldn't be talking about luxury because I'm suddenly here and you're dealing with me.

"If you'd told me in advance, I'd have made some more time."

"... sorry"

"Oh, no, I'm not blaming you."

When I bowed my head, Grandpa started panicking.

And cough up one thing, talk slowly.

"I enjoy my time with you, so I'll be glad to make a quick visit."

"... thanks"

"No, I was just saying thank you for dealing with such old bones."

I say old bones, but Grandpa is sure to stretch his spine as well.

Because you're a healthy grandfather, I don't think that's a good way to call you that.

"So, wasn't there something you wanted to ask me?

"... got it?

"Heh heh, he's a man of his age."

"... invincible"

I came here today because I thought Grandpa might know something.

Of course it's true that I thought it would be good if I could play with this, but that's not why I'm here.

"... your mother told me about you."

"I see, did you still talk"

Grandpa doesn't move in any way into my words and begins to line up the pawns.

There is no shaking in that voice either. I opened my mouth as I lined up, too.

"... Mr. Guldo is dead?

"I'm safe. Looks pretty exhausted though."

"... it is."

I don't want to think your mother would lie. But maybe he cared about me.

That's why I listened differently to your mother's words.

Not that you're safe, but that you're dead. Still, Grandpa answered flatly.

"... the girl, I wonder if she really helped. I guess that's just how it seemed sometimes."

"It's like saying you don't want it to happen."

"... I don't mean to."

"Do you mean you want to go check for yourself?"

There was no word in Grandpa's words to give back.

I really don't want to see your fathers, but I really don't want to see them.

He wants to make sure it's really saved or really brotherly.

"... but I'm sure I can't do that. No?"

Finish arranging the pawns, take your eyes off the board, and ask as you look at Grandpa's face.

"... you're a really smart, sweet kid"

Grandpa caressed my head gently. [M]

With a very loving looking eye.

"As you can imagine, Master Steel's cooperation is essential for you to go to the land. But Master Stell can't move. You can't move it. Unlike when I traveled earlier, it's like saying that there is something if you show a movement towards a destination in a straight line. That is why His Majesty clouded his words in the report"

"... yeah."

And there are other reasons for the cloudiness. Your mother could still move for your father and me.

Cut off the edge of the country so as not to cause trouble. But I don't want that. [M]

I'm glad your mother worked hard for me, but I don't like to throw anything away for it.

"... that's amazing, Grandpa. It's all prospective."

"Ha ha, I'm not getting old for Dada."

Everything I cared about was foreseeable to Grandpa.

I wonder if I'm simply shallow. [M]

"... Hey Grandpa, I need you to tell me. If you can't tell me, I don't mind."

"What is it?

"... I wonder if he would tell me about it if it was really dangerous."

"Teaching... you will. Except -"

Grandpa got a tight eye there.

I'm sure you have eyes for work that aren't usually nice to me. [M]

Your Majesty won't make the decision to turn you around.

"... yes, what"

"Yes, Your Majesty is gentle. I know it's heartbreaking, but at least I won't ask you to send our soldiers to that country."

"... well. Thank you, Grandpa."

I had predictions. Even if he's really dangerous, he won't tell us to go there.

What your mother said, what she purposefully told you, was because it happened in a country where you didn't have to go to help. No, I think it's a good idea to go help.

But there has to be a case where other countries are known to be miserable.

"... Mr. Bulbe, I wonder if you're okay"

"Ha, ha, no way. That's where His Majesty's worries are. You really are a sweet girl."

Grandpa was a little surprised by what I said and returned to his tender eyes again.

And he strokes my head with joy.

I just had a pure thought in my mouth.

"At least there's nothing for you to worry about right now. It's okay."

"... um, I got it"

"All right, let's get started."

"... unbeatable"

Not all my concerns have disappeared, but I'm just a little relieved.

Maybe really, because I found out that the person over there wasn't that dangerous.

I still don't know if I'm really a brother. But I'm glad it does.

After all, I couldn't beat Grandpa this day either.
