Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master
Lesson 269: Ribbon
Something's gone wrong...
If it's true, I wanted to say goodbye by returning Espi to the coalition as soon as possible when I finished some care.
But the crying Espi never left me again yesterday.
Espi sleeps tight with his hands and legs wrapped around my back.
We had no choice but to go wild and we slept in the woods twirling into one cape.
"Phew, ahh... mmm..."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"... Alas, you're sleeping in a blast..."
The moment I woke up, Espi was riding over my chest and sleeping bursting.
His eyes are sobbing, but he is also tired and his expression is calm.
And... it's still a little dark... did you wake up too soon?
"Are you awake? Was it hard to sleep with the weight on?
"Hmm? Oh... well, I'm used to this stuff with amae"
"Right."
I wake up in the morning and Traina and I laugh bitterly at each other.
Who can imagine a child sleeping on me like this now being my father's comrade of war, the seven brave men that Traynas were once the natural enemies of the Demon King's Army?
"Though the Seven Brave Men, they're still children and children... well, that's... the same thing with the Hiiros of this era"
I snorted at Traina's words, too.
Honestly, I don't know that much about Espi's past.
I just roughly heard what the adults who were around Espi were saying.
But that just made me think I couldn't pretend not to see this guy...
'More than that, child. Wake up and take a deep breath.'
"Hmm? Yesterday's radar treat?
'No, simply... try to get out of the woods for a moment, breathing a little cooler air in this nature. There are no Allies or Demon Kings around now. "
Some kind of plot-faced Traina.
I don't know what you're thinking, but if Trayna says so, and I don't wake up an espi, I try to gently untie the hands and feet of an espi wrapped around my body...
"Yo, like this... like this, out -"
"Huh!? Hiu!?
"Oops!?
"... ah..."
Espi, suddenly freaking out his body, opened his eyes and blinked loudly at me.
The boulder is the Seven Brave Men.
Have you noticed any slight signs?
"... Hey, good morning"
"... good morning"
"Did you get some sleep?
"... Yeah, I slept"
"Oh well..."
"... yeah..."
…………
……………
Why don't you wrap your hands and feet around my body again?
"... let's get up, huh?
"... yeah..."
No, even if he looks a little musty... how much does this guy forgive me for one night?
That makes it easy to sweeten up... No, you don't...
The other way around: 'I'm not used to getting emotions from people so much that my heart is shaken by that degree'.
Even though I had a complex to my parents, I was blessed with something and was spoiled by Thaddess.
I only spoke a little yesterday... but it's kind of embarrassing...
'Oh man, I can't help it. It's time for the two of you to go outside for a little while.'
And, sighing at us like that, Trayna said it again.
I don't know what you mean, but for now...
"Look, let's take a walk"
"Hmm? Yeah... I'm in the basket..."
A little musty espi, but when I asked him out properly, he honestly followed me in line next door.
……………
"Ahhh..."
……………
"The..."
I don't know. I don't know what kind of conversation to have.
And I don't know if I'm going too far into it... but if it's okay to preach any more, I'm just going back to the time when I was there on the clock.
And that's what Espi, too, is going to see me flicker from just now...
"Hmm? Ah..."
"... ah..."
At that time, there was a valley in front of us out of the woods, and under our eyes there was another great forest, and beyond that we could see the mountains.
But from beyond that mountain...
"Wow..."
"Wow..."
Dazzling sunlight... it's sunrise...
It's a little cold, but when I inhale this natural clear air, I feel as fresh as if it's being purified from the depths of my body.
The body that was falling asleep also wakes up immediately.
Something about the past, the war, the past of Espi, and above all, what my father and mother were doing, even feeling a little complicated, calms me down.
"Hey, Espi. Which one?"
"... on the other hand, if you're camping on the battlefield, you'll see it carefully..."
"Oh well..."
"Yeah. I always take a good look..."
"Hmm?"
"Today is better than usual... I think it's great"
Espi shows a lot of soppo oriented, less honest but less bad looking response.
And...
"Hey. Name..."
"Hmm?"
"What's your name? Tell me."
Name... Speaking of which, you left a lot of teasing yesterday.
Nevertheless, we can't call it "Earth Ragan"...
"Yes, child."
"Hmm? What the hell, Traina?"
'Speaking of names... there would have been a forged ID that Palippi gave you?
'... ah!
Yes, it was.
The one I got with the master key.
That's in my pocket with it in a small box...
"Uh..."
Fish in your pockets.
When you open the small box, inside, the ribbon that was tied to the box and the ID that was folded.
There...
- Tapil Bael.
It's not cool...... dismissed. I don't like it. I put my ID back in the box.
Espi is strangely necked, but give me a break.
Make it a cooler name!
What the hell, what's this name?
More like this... Schneider, Grand Cross...
"Hey, what's your name?
"Ahhh... you can't tell me... well, call me whatever you want"
"... I don't know what that means"
"Oh, my God, what a name."
Yeah, I don't care.
Espi looks fine, and I'm not going back to the future anymore.
Then, the moment the cold wind blew a bit in the morning, Espi's long hair messed up and hit his face.
As if I were going to tell the story, my hair was messed up by Espi...
"Wop......"
"Oh, my hair's so long... look, I'll do this, so just tie it up a little bit"
"... Huh?
A white ribbon that was tying a small box sent by Paris Pi.
Nothing. There's no point in wrapping it around the box again, or throwing it away.
"Huh? This, this... this is what you're gonna do with it to me?
"What?"
"You helped me, you gave me dinner... you slept with me... ever..."
"I'm exaggerating! It's not that big of a deal, and I can't help but give it to you. It's a present, a present."
"... a gift..."
"Here."
I didn't know you'd react so far with one cheap ribbon.
You've never been through anything like this before.
And then Espi picked up a ribbon from me, shaking in small pieces, and hey, aren't your eyes moist?
"A gift... for the first time..."
"Oh, well?
"Yeah. I've never even had a ribbon..."
"Well... but I don't know how to tie it, do I?
"I've never done this before... but Maam's always got hair... do this, do this..."
That's when I thought, "Ah."
"Traina... the future espi, it was a slightly worn ribbon..."
'Is that what you mean...'
But these are the ribbons that Parippi wore to tie the little boxes. It's nothing. It's not a bow for binding hair purely.
But I can't believe this guy's been doing that...
"... well? Is she cute like Maam?
"Kuhaha, aren't you cuter than Maam?
Espi dyed his cheeks a bit and circled on the spot in a kull.
Just a little bit, but for the first time I've seen a smile zero in Espi's mouth.
And...
"........................................................................................................."
"... hmm?
"Ah... thank you... brother..."
"Huh, Kuha! Whoa!"
Is that what you've been calling me... just a little closer to that future espi smile?
And you'll be fine now.
"Well, you look fine too... can we get you home from here to the Coalition? I have to go now, too."
"What!?
What, alle!? He suddenly turned his expression on me as if Espi had been stained with despair.
"Yes, I'm going... Duh, where are you going?
"Ah. No, me too, I have to go home..."
"... together... let's go to the coalition."
"... what?
"Oh, brother, we're strong... together... oh, dear..."
"No, I can never do that!
Shit, Espi's picking my clothes hem with her fingers as she's about to cry.
No, there's no way I can go to the Coalition if I'm solicited like that.
Already in many ways.
"... then... I'll go with you..."
"... Huh?
"I failed my mission... and I don't want to go home anymore..."
No, no, no, no, you can't do that any more.
"No, no..."
Trayna also has her head in a boulder.
I mean, I'm going back to the future.
"Wow, me, I've failed my mission, but I'll try my best to be useful... and I'll be stronger..."
"No, that's not the problem..."
"I'll tell you what, 'cause I'm gonna be a better kid... so... keep up with you..."
No way, a second development here recently.
I didn't expect a toddler girl to ask me to go this far... this is already happening in Amae...
"Espi, you know -"
But that's just not good.
As one of the Seven Brave Men, Espi is a hero who will also be active in future wars.
When I'm gone, I don't know what history has to do with me.
Whatever you do, you're going back to the Allies... to your fathers...
'... hmm? Hey, kid! Pockets opposite...... those with clocks in them!
Hmm? That's when Trayna sounded like she noticed something and raised her voice. Pockets or watches?
They told me I'd take out my pocket watch...
"Hmm? What is this? The clock's flashing?
The dial of the clock is flashing with tickles. I didn't do anything, but I've never seen anything like it.
No way, something weird is gonna happen again?
Wait, with items that can go in the past or in the future, what happens...
- Peeeeeeeeeeeee.
"What?"
"... what?
Suddenly the sound of tinnitus rang from the clock...
[Charging Citekdasai]
"What? Dj, Juden?
"Huh? The clock, you talked...?
[Charging Citekdasai]
"Nah, nah?
I told him the clock didn't make any sense.
But without knowing what that was in the end, the clock eventually stopped saying un or sung after repeating the same words.
