"Right. You finally know, Mr. Albao."

After Mr. Appalachian's room, we headed to Holly on that leg.

It was at first that Holly said something that would comfort her about yesterday's experiment failure, but she saw how Albao was doing and immediately guessed the situation.

He turned to us seriously, keeping the paper he was writing.

Then it is the dialogue at the beginning.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wouldn't have any choice if I told you. It's my responsibility, and your position is guaranteed."

Albao and his fellows can be reassigned to other laboratories to continue the same research as before.

Of course, there will be somewhat of a stain on the color of that lab, but it seems that Mr Appalachian will ultimately be responsible, including around it.

However, that doesn't seem to apply to Holly's treatment.

"That's why! Then yesterday, how could I not help but lose!

"I don't have a choice. Sure, I've come a long way. Senior Cecil hates me, but I can't help it."

"Not so!

In Albao's words, Holly grins as usual.

But what I always thought was the same laugh, maybe not.

From the beginning, I may have had a grin that included only a little loneliness, thinking my lab would be dismantled.

"Mr. Albao. You don't have to worry about it. [M] Senior Cecil's immediate nomination. You're the one who hasn't started any specialized research yet. There's no better place to build your career."

"... what, the way you put it... isn't it like it's better than here"

"That's what I'm saying. Look, how appropriate am I? There's a lot I've taught you, but forget it all. It's okay. I don't know if I can learn from Senior Cecil."

In that reciprocating attitude, Albao was biting his lips.

It's only been less than a year since he was assigned here. Still, I can somehow tell he's deeply thoughtful here.

Even Albao with a serious personality liked the loose air in this lab.

Albao hits Holly with a quiet voice.

"You want me to forget it all?"

"Yes, yes."

"To Mr. Holly, all of a sudden, no, and no potion."

"Yeah."

"First successful experiment, too"

"Yes."

"and the doozy time before the review."

"... oh"

"You know, the night before the festival, you know, and I got so mad at you for making a scene"

"... There it is."

"Do you want me to forget it all?"

Holly nodded with an unchanging grin at Albao's, squeezing words.

"Oh, my God, it's like dying. Just remember something new. You better get rid of anything that gets in the way then. That's all, isn't it?

To Holly's words, Albao shook his head.

"I'll never forget it."

Flip from words that squeeze out until then.

The voice, with its feet firmly on the ground, I can see it's his heart.

"That day I came back from the review. That Mr. Holly was crying in a place where no one was. Unforgettable."

"... Huh?

"Mr. Holly didn't realize, did she? I went looking for Holly, who got out of the banquet when she said," It's coming in the night breeze. "

"Hey, hey, Mr. Albao?

Holly's face was distorted by amazement and shame.

The lab faces I was just setting aside, too, whoa? I looked at it and paid attention to it.

"Even if the Special Best Awards were combined, we were the Best Awards. Mr. Holly was happy enough, too, I thought. But you weren't. At that time, the person you regretted most was Mr. Holly, who was nobody else."

"... no, maybe you're too drunk, see, you're crying Uedo"

"With Mr. Holly's regrettable crying face back then, I was beaten down. I was floating around in the Best Awards, and I didn't know anything."

"... you know, Albao. Not really."

"Mr. Holly cried like a child, and so, I felt like I saw what you really were. He's always nice and proper, and still, he's really so serious about facing the potion."

"... you know, so I was crying a lot or something"

"So that day, I wanted to follow Mr. Holly all the time. It's so delicate and beautiful that I want to be with this man forever!

"Okay! Okay, so shut up for a second!

Finally, Holly, whose face turned bright red, was blocking Albao's mouth with the exercise of his strength.

I look bitter at Albao, who is still trying to unleash his enthusiasm.

"Hey Al. I'm not that kind of character, am I? So why don't we just shut up?

"... the thigh... so, but!

"Hey, please! Because you can touch my tits! So shut up!

It feels like I don't even know which one is up there, and the two of them are doozy.

Faces, including mine, that saw it, had already shifted to Niyaniya.

In that situation, it was still that guy who broke the air.

"Heh, I'm done with my job. What a brilliant person I am to get this job done so quickly. My talent scares me, huh? How can it be so quiet?

It is Guinura, who came into the room with a galloping, somewhat sloppy utterance.

Looks like he hasn't swallowed up the situation at all.

But don't even ask anyone, he walked toward Tsukatsuka and Holly.

"Mr. Holly. I'm done asking you."

"Oh, yeah! 'Cause it's a little urgent right now! Properly at your desk, please!

"... without words of labor..."

Guinura looked just a little soggy, leaving Dosadsa and books and materials at Holly's desk.

I was a little concerned about the content, and I was asking Guinura.

"Hey, Guinura. What's Mr. Holly looking into?

"Hmm? Oh. Durability to Class V, growth of processed plants… Hmm, apparently, materials on creating barrels that can withstand experimentation."

"Huh?"

"Buh!"

to a polarized and leaked word from Guinura.

I've been working with Mogomogo since just now, two Arbao and Holly raised their voices.

Albao is the voice of confusion. Holly is a voice of haste.

The two of them stop fighting. Albao asked Holly, who had just turned away.

"Mr. Holly, tell us we have no choice."

"... see, that's it. Cool and cool boss giving you some advice where you guys are desperate. I don't want to play a role like that."

Holly is saying that her gaze is running outside.

Albao, staring still at Holly, exhaled.

"Excuse me. The truth is, Mr. Serious Holly said something stupid about giving up the most"

"... so many times that's not my character"

"If Mr. Holly hasn't given up, I won't give up until the end either."

Albao affirmed so clearly.

Only a few hours ago, if I had no choice, he said it was useless to do anything.

Now, I had cemented my resolve to give it up to the end.

"............ I'll tell you what. We only have about two weeks before the interim announcement. There's a good chance nothing will come of it, huh?

"I know. Still, I want to do what I can."

Holly looked at Albao with a serious look on her face.

Then I think about it and tell the lab faces.

"Gentlemen. You're right to ask. Albao, I hear you're not going to give up your experiments. If he doesn't succeed in the experiment, our lab will soon be dismantled. So I have one favor for you guys."

After accumulating a little, Holly said lightly.

"Anyone who wants my lab to stay, can you help him do his research?

"" "Of course you are!

"... you guys"

Holly raised a somewhat bewildered voice to the warm voice of Holly's lab.

"Because you can't do it unless you're at Mr. Holly's, a weirdo like us!

"Yes, yes! Or even if you don't tell me, we've been looking into it!

The lab faces I said laugh more.

None of us, none of us, have done our own research.

About the barrel. The fifth attribute thing. He was desperately looking into that area, which had not yet been elucidated.

"" "Because we love Holly Labs!

Faces that made me feel so good. And Holly smiles bitterly.

"Ma, so if you still had the results, we wouldn't have talked about this in the first place."

……………………

Holly's slightly black joke blinded me slightly.

Holly turns her gaze back to Albao, laughing bitterly at such tricks.

"That's why. We will do everything in our power to support you. No, should I say I am? Leave it to me to do basic research on this' Newpot 'as well. Now do your best anyway."

"You're going to do something about the barrel, right?

"Exactly."

Albao, clutching his fist for a long time, declared.

"Let's do it! Absolutely, leave the results beyond Dr. Cecil!

There you go, "Ooh!" And the ringing went together, and Holly Labs came together.

"... so, yugiri. What were you talking about after all?

"... I will only praise you for asking me not to break the air..."

In that corner, I told the poor outsider, second, later.
