After bathing in Mandragola's wine, Taketo returned home on foot.
Whatever to do if the lock was still locked, I was thrilled to push the door at home, but the door opened so lightly that it clapped out.
In the meantime, I gladly looked at my mother's house while not being locked. But I don't see Chante anywhere.
There was no Ulu in the barn.
In the back, the dry laundry was just in the wind.
(I wonder where she went. Chante)
I looked all the way home and noticed. Yes, at this hour, I'm supposed to be in the Royal Palace's Magic Beast Poaching Control Office.
I was just going to the Royal Library because the King called me a tacket in the first place, and today was normal work day.
On his way to the Royal Palace, the office had Captain Valvara and Brigitta.
I will inform the commander who is writing at the desk that he was late because he was in the library before going to the palace on the king's business, and ask Brigitta, who was gracefully drinking tea on the sofa, if he saw Chante.
"If it was Chante, I would have stayed here a while ago. I thought you went to Ulu's.
I see. Thank you. I'll go. "
It was a tacket that tried to leave the office at once, but I stopped at once. "Speaking of which," he whispered, looking back at Brigitta. I had to tell her something, too. Things I couldn't say while I thought I had to say all the time.
You can't run forever. Taketo prepares himself and speaks.
"Brigitta, you've had your favorite teacup cracked before."
Brigitta took her mouth off the cup and quietly looked up at the tucket.
Oh, you mean that cup.
"... oh, I broke it. I accidentally dropped it when I was cleaning it. I'm sorry."
The tacket lowers its head to Brigitta. I knew Brigitta would be angry. I've always been afraid of being angry and petrified.
But it was the laughter that came from the lowered head of the tacket.
Huh?
A butterflying bamboo tackle with its head up. Brigitta put the teacup on her lap and smiled brightly with her hand against her mouth.
"Finally, you confessed."
"Eh... well, maybe I noticed..."
"Of course. Every time I talk about the teacup, I look awkward, I turn my eyes away. They'll find out."
"That's right....."
Suddenly, the shoulders relaxed and the tacket sounded pathetic.
"Fufufu, my reaction is so interesting that I've made a little mess of it. But if you're not going to confess forever, is it time to punish you? I thought so too."
I'm glad I said it now. I can't wait to be petrified by Brigitta's whims.
"I'll make it up to you one day. I'm really sorry."
"If you didn't do it on purpose, there's no choice. Sometimes shapes break."
In Brigitta's eyes, it seemed that the color of sadness had passed for a moment behind the words. It may have been a very important memory. When I look at those eyes, I feel guilty when I tingle. It may still be much better to petrify it.
But when Brigitta looked up and looked at the tacket, the color of pity had completely disappeared from her eyes.
"Look, you're going to Chante's, right? Why don't we get out of here?
"Yes, Brigitta... thank you."
"Fufufu. Instead, go to the tea party next time."
That said, she brings the teacup back to her mouth to enjoy the scent.
Ah.
Taketo walks down the hallway through the office, and next time he finds a good tea leaf somewhere,
I was thinking of giving it to Rijita.
When I left the royal palace and went to the backyard, I saw Ulu's big black body.
Looks like I just finished eating. Next to that, Chante was found, and Taketto ran to them. Tonyoshi also slightly followed me with a small leg from behind.
Chante!
She looked back at the call of the tuket.
"Taketo"
I wondered what to do if she ignored me, but she replied as usual.
However, I remember having to leave the house in the middle of the conversation, and I feel like I'm grabbing my stomach. We have to solve the misunderstanding that Chante has left us with. Taketo began to talk about swallowing his spit. My mouth was dry.
Um... Chante "
What?
The wind blowing through the forest shakes her long silver thread-like hair. Chante turns back toward the tacket as she puts it in her ear.
"Yesterday. Sure, I spent the night with Jen.... I have nothing to do with her. I've only been listening to you for a long time.... you may not believe me, but... Really, that's all."
…………
Chante didn't return anything. That's why Taketo keeps talking.
"She asked me to be her friend. Because no one else can call me a friend. But stop yesterday's confusion.... sorry for worrying you."
After a while, her hair swayed loosely. Chante was shaking his neck small.
"... don't worry about me. I'm sorry to hear that. It's not like I can tell you who Taketo was doing what....."
That said, Chante slightly raised her mouth and smiled. It was a grin.
Looking at that, the tacket feels more like being grabbed inside your stomach than before.
Why are you making her look like this? I felt so sorry for that and unfairly.
"Yeah... it's me. Life in that house where Chante lives is so much fun. I feel so calm when I'm with Chante. That's why I thought I should stay like this forever."
Chante was there. Ulu is here. Tonyoshi is here. A bustling day.
The house is always warm and calm, full of smiles.
This is the first time in my life that I've ever lived like this. He was the only child, and it was normal for him to spend the night alone until his father came home late after he had gone to elementary school and got divorced. I thought it was such a thing.
That's why my life is so comfortable right now. I sincerely hoped that it would continue for as long as possible.
But that's the only way.
"Somehow that's obvious. I didn't have to do anything to keep it that way.
I felt like it would go on.... but that was sweet. "
All because Chante was there for me. It was realized because she accepted and gave it to me.
"I wonder what I could have given Chante back. You just gave it to me, and I haven't returned anything yet. And yet, you're worried. Do something to hurt me."
Chante shook his neck again, echoing Taketo's words.
"Yeah, I was happy to have a tacket, too. It's each other."
Chante laughed naturally this time.
The soft winter sun sparkles her hair. I honestly thought it was beautiful. And I loved her unbearably.
So naturally, the words to her come out with a mouth.
"Chante, I want to stay with you forever."
Huh?
"I want to live like a family with you forever. But for the rest of your life, you can't do it like a family anymore."
All at once, I suddenly started to feel embarrassed. But if it stops here, it's the same as before.
When Taketo made up his mind, he gazed strangely at Chante looking at us.
Chante, I like you.
"Taketo....."
"I like you. I can't stand it. So!"
When Taketo took Chante's hand, he lowered his head to ask him to hold it tightly.
"Will you marry me? I want to be a family with you. I want to stay with you forever. Always will be."
I can finally say it. Words I wanted to say, but I couldn't. I was afraid of Chante's reaction and couldn't raise my face.
But she didn't say anything, so when she raised her scared face, Chante turned her eyes round and looked at the tacket. You can see it in your eyes, and your tears are seeping.
Slowly, with tears, Chante nodded with a smile on her face.
"I wish I could be a tackle, too."
I love the way she looks. Unexpectedly, Taketo embraces Chante's luxurious body.
"Let's stay together. Always."
Once again, Chante nodded in her arms. Her hand came back to grab the shirt on the back of the tacket.
About her. I want to take care of Chante above all else. That's what I really thought.
