Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Yoichi, Sheehan, join me for a little walk.

Huang Lao, who had returned to the base of the mainland, invited the two of them to go out.

I resigned from the Tanaka family as the sun began to set, but it is still a little bright here due to the jet lag.

Speaking of which, are you glad to call yourself Old Huang?

Yoichi asked Old Huang, who was drunk but had a solid track record.

"Hahaha, how many old people in this country are called Huang Lao, etc.?" Besides, there is no one in this country who thinks that the old man who is walking in this town was in Japan until a few minutes ago. "

Huang Lao said in an upbeat tone, wondering when the alcohol made him more of a tongue rapper.

"Nevertheless, it was a good place."

Old Huang muttered as he walked through the city.

"Shit. Yeah, I've done a lot of people, it was busy, it was fun."

It's rare for so many relatives to be gathered on the other side of the country in this time.

Huang Lao leaked a smile at Sheehan and Yoichi's words.

"It's not just the Tanaka family. I was surprised that Japan was a better place than I thought."

In response to Huang Lao's words, Yang Yi looked around.

I see? I don't think this country is too bad, though.

Yoichi, who honestly thought it was a peaceful and vibrant town, said so.

Then, Huang Lao, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

Do you really think so?

Huang Lao muttered in a low voice, looking back, as if his upbeat appearance up to now was a lie.

The signs of drunkenness disappeared from Old Huang's face, and a sarcastic smile appeared in his mouth.

Yoichi and Sheehan suddenly took a breath in his face.

"You know that, don't you? Recently, we have lost our country."

"That's..."

Yoichi tried to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Just a few moments ago, the country, led by a powerful leader and growing rapidly, seemed to be pushing ahead with a momentum of global hegemony.

However, the change of policy at the top of the regime will create a dark cloud.

Besides that, many changes may be happening in parts that are not visible to Yoichi.

No, somehow it's hard to call it a dictatorship.

"Well, do you think that the word dictatorship comes out because the leaders have made those policy changes?"

"... is it different?"

“Well, I think it's the opposite of an autocratic monologue, the pole of crowd fools.”

Is it foolish?

"That's right. I don't know what to say..."

So Old Huang takes his eyes off Yang Yi. At the end of the line of sight, there was a security camera.

“You know a lot about our surveillance posture, don't you?”

That's enough.

Even with a light Appraisal , I could see an enormous number of cameras.

And in some of the great cities of the land were set up so little as to have no blind spots, that the movements of the people were watched.

"That's the eyes of this country. I intend to see as many people as possible as far as possible.”

Haha

Thinking that it was becoming somewhat difficult, Yang Yi listened to Huang Lao's story.

Well, what about your ears?

Is that your ear?

"Yes, to hear as many people as possible, as wide as possible."

"...... I don't know."

“Hmm. I think that's what the Internet and other communication networks are for.”

“Is it the Internet?”

"It's the words that are posted on SNS and the opinions that are exchanged via email. And this country has always had better ears than eyes. It's called Hell's Heart."

Huh, hell, ears.

“The leaders of today have overheard a lot of words in that hellhole.”

The voice of adults who are dissatisfied with the educational disparity between the very few wealthy people and the majority of the common people, and who are concerned about the negative impact on children reduced by the reduction of children.

As a result of listening to so many opinions of the people, large-scale restrictions were suddenly imposed on the education industry and the entertainment industry.

"I really wonder where this country is headed in the future."

With a smile in his mouth, Old Huang shrugged his shoulders.

Yeah, I can't do that anymore.

Sheehan muttered suddenly.

"Grandpa, have you done a lot of good work?" Let's do it again. Shall we go back to Japan now? When I get back to Showaichi Tanaka and become the grandfather of a relative of the Tanaka family, I'll be fine. "

In response to Sheehan's appeal, Old Huang rolled his eyes.

But immediately, I relaxed my expression.

"I'm going back to Japan..."

Huang Lao suddenly leaked a smile and shook his head to the side.

Seeing it, Sheehan lowered his eyebrows sadly.

"This time I went to Japan, and I realized it. This is not the place for me to go back to."

"Grandpa...."

"For me, my hometown is still this country."

Old Huang's face, as he said so, had a powerful smile on his face that was different from the one he had just seen.

"Can I still live long? Then I will continue to do what I can for my country."

Sheehan looked at Old Huang with a crying face, but he sighed as if he had finally given up.

"Hah... I don't know." Grandpa, listen to me if you say anything. "

Saying that, he leaked a bitter smile as if he was stunned.

"That's right, I'm already this old." You can't change until you die, can you? "

Then the two of them laughed at each other, but Old Huang suddenly gave a look.

"Japan was not my hometown, but it is still my source. By knowing my origins, I was able to renew my thoughts. That's why...."

So Old Huang bowed his head deeply.

Yoichi, Sheehan, I'll say thank you again.

Having said that, Old Huang's expression, which raised his head, was very calm.

○●○●

Sheehan, are you okay?

Why?

No, I hope it's okay.

What, are you worried about me?

"Well, well..."

Well, it's funny that the town you were born in is at the bottom of the dam.

After returning to the "Grand Coat 2503", Sheehan, who was dressed in china dress-style roomwear and leaning against the living room sofa, gave a dry smile.

Soon after that, the two of them broke up with Old Huang, but Shih Han's hopes led them to the town where she was born.

It seemed that Huang Lao had noticed the story of the source.

Sheehan was born in a very rural area in the western part of the continent, and there was little transportation, so he brought Suzak from another world and headed from the sky.

Of course, you can cross the country's surveillance net with Samantha's various magic props.

Sheehan, who had been kidnapped at a young age, could be called home only with Old Huang.

So I hardly remember the city where I was born.

So Yoichi looked for it in Appraisal Ω , but a huge dam was built at the spot where it had arrived.

Aharashi, let's go home.

Sheehan said that after looking at the bottom of the dam where the town where he was born would be sunk for a while, he returned Susak to another world, and they returned to "Grand Court 2503".

Then she was dumbfounded, leaning deeply against the sofa.

Even if Yoichi sat next to me spoke to him, he was just returning the news. He was worried and just reacted as described earlier.

Even if I turn on the TV, I am told to turn it off because it is noisy, and the conversation breaks off immediately.

As expected, it was Yoichi who became uncomfortable, but he still thought that there was nothing to discuss.

(Speaking of which.....)

Yoichi, who had recently spent time with each of the members, remembered that he had a common story with them.

Hey, Sheehan.

Yoichi called out to Sheehan, hoping to hold on for some time.

What?

And then he asks her a vague question, staring at the void.

If we hadn't met, what would have happened now?

Sheehan then woke up vigorously and looked towards Yang Yi.

"That's not true..."

Sheehan's eyes staring at Yoichi grew tears and his mouth began to tremble.

"Hey, hey..."

And as tears filled her eyes, her expression collapsed.

"I didn't mean to say that..."

"Huh? Huh...?"

Suddenly, Yoichi began to weep at Sheehan.

"My hometown has been abandoned... the town where I was born is also at the bottom of the water... there's only one place I can go back to is Yang... uuu..."

"Ah, no, this is, for example..."

"Noooo...! If Yang sees you, don't even think about it... ahhhhhh!"

Sheehan began to cry like a child.

"No, hey, hey...!"

I held Sheehan, who was crying all over my chest.

Then she clung to Yang Yi and continued to cry with her face hanging on her chest.

“It's okay. I'll be with Sheehan all the time, okay?”

Soothes Sheehan as he scrubs his back like a child.

Unexpectedly, Yoichi was surprised to find that visiting her hometown would affect her so far.

Stay with me all the time. I won't let you go. I won't let you feel lonely.

With such words, while calming down, Sheehan finally calmed down.

”Ugh... hiccup...”

Releasing her face from Yoichi's chest, Sheehan looked at Yoichi attentively as he chirped occasionally.

Always feisty, she had a weak expression that she had never shown before.

"Will you stay with me forever?"

"Of course I am."

Yoichi replied vigorously to Shi Han, who was asking anxiously.

Let's do something about ourselves, shall we?

"You wouldn't do that, would you? We'll be together forever."

Yoichi looked at her and overlapped his lips in order to make her understand not only the words but also the attitude.
