How long has it been?
It was late at night and everyone was listening to me without even yawning.
Oh, my God, when Ibuki died, he even brought tears to my eyes.
Sui and Sally also had an indescribably complicated look when they heard about Ibuki's death.
And then the story moved on to Trice.
That she seemed to be moving a lot behind it.
That I was moving forward a little bit in a way that was in keeping with her thoughts.
That she showed up today to talk to me in person.
And that she is two melons, Ibuki.
"That's it."
When I finished talking, no one responded immediately.
Each one of them thinks a little bit to rebut my words.
Still, it can't stay that way forever.
The first person to speak to me was Mr. Oyaji.
"So, kid. What do you want?
"... What do you say?
"Even on the journey to find the woman, are you going to leave?
Mr. Oyaji pointed me out, and I realized that the option existed.
I noticed, but the answer to that had been decided.
"No, it's not."
"Hmm?"
"Sure, if it was just after I came into this world, I think I thought about it. But not now. I like this shop. Don't leave this shop alone."
When I assured him clearly, Mr. Oyaji snorted at Hung and looked just a little happy.
"Because, my daughters. Don't worry about that. Look at that."
"" Become "
Suey and Sally in particular reacted to the words.
As plainly as I could tell, I was upset and stared at Mr. Oyaji.
With a smiling grin on those girls, Phil next asks.
"So is the general going to keep working at the store? Like whenever Mr. Trice shows up, training or whatever, cancel."
"No, the training is on schedule. I'm not going to change my behavior."
"Huh? But then"
"That's what he said himself. Follow the Fifth Class and the Cocktail. Then I'd better go as far as I want. Believe me when I say I'll see you again."
From now on, I'm sure she'll be watching us from somewhere. But I don't show up on the detour anymore, I feel that way.
He also said he appeared before me today as arbitrary.
I mean, she must have something different going on with me again.
If so, now I have no choice but to believe her words. Because that's the only visible way to connect with her.
"So for the moment, I don't think about Trice. Not that I don't think about it at all, but she's not gonna hurt us for real. Never mind."
To my word, Phil, the questioner, looked sinister.
Is that okay? Aren't you doing something you can't?
It looks like the wind that wants to ask, but I just nodded back with a gentle face.
"Bye, Chief. Hard to hear, can I ask?
After Phil, it was Rye who tried to get himself on board.
She asked, staring at my face, mixing her downward care curiosity with her worries.
"Even now, do you like Ibuki?
I felt everyone's gaze clearly gathered on me.
I feel myself experiencing the metaphorical meaning of a stabbing gaze.
Especially the eyes of the women and the eyes of Mr. Oyaji are sharp... not nearly everyone.
Only Phil has a slight gaze of sympathy. Are you healing?
But I couldn't get a clear response to that.
"I don't know."
"... to?
"I can't give you that answer."
I hold my chest. with the intention of gripping the heart present in it.
Still, there, it answers nothing.
He forgets what it feels like to be ripped off, like tightening his chest.
I just have a slight pain and it hasn't grown to the size that I can linguize.
I had an idea.
Since I've been in this world, only one emotion hasn't moved clearly.
When I regained my memory, I realized it.
And this is what I have now, little this is the emotion, I think.
I guess that's what Trice meant by 'not going back completely'.
"I had such impure motives to become a 'bartender' because I wouldn't lose my connection to Ibuki. And I've lived all this way to this day. But that's not all I have right now. I don't think that's all."
I vomit desperately what it feels like not to be able to speak well.
This feeling, even for me, I don't know.
"I want to see Ibuki. I want to see you and talk to you. But I don't know if that's romantic emotion. I feel like this is the first time I've seen the answer to it."
I want to see you. I want to see you and talk to you.
But so what? What do you want me to do?
I don't know. I don't know, but I don't want to give up on the way.
I knew everyone looked sinister for such a halfway answer.
I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear.
I added, that's what he said.
Looking at Sui.
Sui took it for a moment as a kyoton, then turned his face bright red as he noticed something.
I can't wait to see how Sally is.
She's her, and she looks grumpy when she does it. But when I met him, he looked away embarrassed.
I scratched my cheeks poly and leaked my sigh only small.
"Kid. Are you kidding me?
Mr. Oyaji looks at my attitude and asks me in a bad way.
"Well, no matter how much I, somehow, as much"
"... right"
"I think it's because my memories are back."
I mean, it's so easy for me to understand, and I don't even realize it. I'm aware of that.
This is not a diagonal interpretation.
That's duller than people's consciousness, but there are limits.
If this is what Trice meant by "breaking the routine," it's the effect surface.
I'm no longer as tough as I've ever been to deal with them.
If I do that, I feel like I'm going to rip my heart out. With guilt.
"Chi, it's not! Because I'm only looking carefully from a total parental point of view! Or, because I hope you don't get me wrong!
After the exchange between me and Mr. Oyaji, Sui answered with a bright red face.
Sally's voice continues to ride on it.
"Wow, that's me too! Because I'm just worried about how impeccable you are as the general's master! Ho, a proud vampire can't fall in love with someone that easy!
Sally spoke with all her majesty and arms.
Well, if that's what you guys are gonna say, I'll try not to worry about it either.
I don't scratch that you haven't said anything specific, but I know you've been received that way - at that point, you're more than half conscious.
Because it's a matter of dignity.
"... don't just wake me up"
"... nagging"
I nodded at Mr. Oyaji's words and put my hand on his chest again.
Thinking about Ibuki, it still hurts only a little here, but clearly.
But that's not all.
Even if I tell you about Suey and Sally, it only hurts a little here.
That is for men and women alike.
Whether it's Phil, Rye, Mr. Oyaji, Iberis, Bergamo, or at the end of the day Isotoma.
When I come to this world, I think of someone who's connected, my heart has a slight fever.
Wherever I was on Earth, it was a strange feeling that I never really felt when I was alone.
Huh, I remember the words Ibuki used to say a long time ago.
She, at that time, hugged me, who was really alone, and said:
'I think this emotion is love. I don't know if this is love, love, or fraternity.'
With her words in my chest, I live here and now.
I can clearly see her shadow where I'm going.
I followed the cocktail for Ibuki. I remember that clearly.
But now, that's not all. Somehow I feel that way.
At the end of the road, if I ever meet her again, I feel like I can find the answer to what Mr. Oyaji used to say.
Spread the cocktail around the world, and what do I want to do next?
Now, stay put.
Take care of this slight chest crease and move on.
"Cocktails," not just technology, so he can drink them this time.
"Bad till this hour. Let's go home now, it'll sound tomorrow"
When I told him, my loved ones looked at me quietly and nodded.
Touching the kindness, I left the counter and joined them.
Wait for me, Ibuki.
I'll get to you soon.
