The name of the inn was Kashiyang Inn, and as I was told, it was the same level of accommodation as Eira's place in Miniera. Although I don't have a bath, I had the impression of staying in a somewhat warm atmosphere.
The rooms Leishe rented were two, one for one and one for two. Now to the two of us. Me, Lieche and Leila, and all four of the pressed kids are gathered together, the kids put them to bed, and we're sitting in the other bed discussing what we're going to do.
First and foremost, about the pressed child.
We're ready for our next trip to the city for now. It is possible to leave tomorrow. That is why we can consider the problems of the moment.
"In Miniera, unaccompanied children are protected by knights and placed in institutions somewhere after due process. When you grow up enough to work, the state will go through the process of proving the identity of the child and keep it in the facility until you find a place to work first, but don't leave the facility when you find a place to work. Some become adventurers, others serve in restaurants, and others apprentice in blacksmiths. Well, even if you can't find a place to work, if you're an adult, you'll have to leave the facility."
"Heh, that's a pretty reasonable treat"
Miniella is a warm country in every way, isn't it? Well, there seems to be a rule that when you grow up, you always leave the facility, but that's an easy response. You can't keep a grown man in an institution forever.
I can't help but say he's dead as a result of throwing him out of the facility. Even in this world, there are limits to the extent that people can be nice.
"So that's what happens in this city, too?
"No, because this isn't Miniera's refuge. The response of the Kingdom of Grandir would apply"
"In other words?"
"Weak eating, that's what I'm talking about, tough you."
Leishe's expression was shadowed, and on her behalf, which seemed spicy to say, Leila gave me a simple and understandable answer.
So this kid won't get a decent response where he left it with the knight? I guess it could be the worst disposition.
Simple and lucid, that belly-black witch reminds me of you bravely - it's really unpleasant.
"Then I wonder what this girl will do."
"We originally just stopped by this city and we were planning to leave tomorrow when we got our trip ready... pathetic, but we still have to let them handle it the way this city does?
"Haha, you say pretty cruel things, Leishe. But, well, you have to understand."
"What, are you throwing this kid away? Take him with you, he won't be well."
I'm serious about something Leishe, but I'm ruining it all because of Leila. This is it if you think you've grown up a little bit. Even when you grow up, Leila's selfish and my-paced attitude doesn't seem to change.
"Leila."
"What?
"Just shut up for a second"
"Mmmm!? Pfft... Huh? Huh? Ha... ahhh!? Kiku ~...!"
So I'm kind of thrilled to see Leila kissing me just trying to touch me. It was a promise, and I didn't end up doing it after I said I could do it twice, so I took one shot at it. I tried to do it with my mind.
Releasing her lips, Leila gave a blurred look, then dyed her face bright red like an apple as she looked at it, turning her eyes around her wrinkles, losing her mind that it was too shocking, and fell into bed.
"Tough... well, what... that kind of thing is without people's eyes..."
"I can't go on talking when Leila's around. For better or worse, this child is self-centered."
She stroked her head to comb her fluffy gray hair as she looked down at Leila, who had passed out and left Sang's face bright red, and said so.
Well, I didn't mean it, but I know because we were mostly together. She is a troublemaker and a moodmaker. Even if things get worse, I try not to lose sight of myself. That's why I'm kind of optimistic about losing Finia and the others right now.
This kind of place is her beauty. Time and in some cases - especially when we're having a serious conversation like right now. I don't hate her. She's got a personality.
"So? What are you going to do with this kid? Leave it to the way this city does?
"Leishe, in this case - don't leave it to which way, think about what you want to do."
He stands up with a thin laugh and looks down at the sleeping child.
This city, rather than the kingdom of Grandir, is just something I don't care about. The same goes for brave temptations and belly-black witches, but I don't particularly care about the common sense and perceptions laid by royalty and power who make the country.
Because I am a weak person, the world of weak and strong eating is alive and hard and invincible.
"Status"
I dare you, I peek at the child's status. I wanted to know the name, and I didn't mean to push any kid, and if I let him die after I let him go, I wouldn't sleep well.
◇ Status ◇

As expected, as it looks, the status is poor. I don't have the skills either. Surely in this world, the weak are made flesh of the mighty.
That's why it's worth protecting. Like me, this child, born weak, is worth protecting.
- It's on the bottom.
There is no reason why the weak can't beat the strong. I'm gonna turn it all upside down and deal with the power of the state and the weak eating.
Not to survive, because I want to.
"If that's what the leader says, let's obey."
"That's another crazy thing."
"Supporting your back is my role as a companion."
Leishe looks kind of good. I don't know if you mean male, this kind of kid. But it's a girl, and sister skin? I bought it myself.
Well, aside from that, there's someone following me - I'm sure that would be a pleasure.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Mm-hmm... ha... hmm?
"Mm, are you awake, Leila?"
Wake up and get up with your hands on the fuzzy bed. Then that was the room we rented. A red-haired child sitting in a chair is smiling at me. There was a child in the next bed with you pressed to sleep, and there was no such thing as you.
A thought still awake and blurry, trying to remember before I lost consciousness.
Sure, I was shopping with you... and the kid there showed me to the inn... so... oh, yeah, I'm sure I was tight with you - heh!
"Hawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawaa
Yeah, I'm tough on you. So my face got hot, my chest pounded to its limit, and I couldn't figure it out because it was white in my head, and then I lost consciousness at some point.
'Cause I can't help it, it's such a surprise. Shitty, shitty! Tight. You're sloppy!
"I can't believe you're tough... I can't believe you're tough..."
If this happens, I'll do it again, I feel kind of like I lost to you.
I'm tougher than you, and I want to do that. I'm kind of thrilled right now, but I'm not convinced I'm passive because you did it to me!
"I'm going to your room a little tight!
"Huh? Oh, Layla!?
Ignoring the sound of a red-haired child pulling back, I headed to your room tight. The two and one rooms have different floors, so I step down the stairs and into the one room floor.
Then I went straight to your room and opened the door. Inside, it's not that big compared to a two-person room. But there's plenty of room to spend alone.
When I went inside, Tight, you took off the black clothes you always wore and sat in bed with the short-sleeved clothes and trousers you wore underneath. I think it's an exercise to manipulate.
"Tight you!
"Ah, Layla. What's the matter with you?
I spoke to you tightly. [M] Tight you noticed me and said so with your gaze pointed this way.
…………
"Hmm?"
Speaking of which, what do we do from here? I didn't think about it.
I was going to retaliate, but it might not be possible to get in touch with Chu or anything... I'm thrilled to just think about it. Am I embarrassed...... yeah, I think I'm embarrassed.
I will no longer... long after that white boy arrives. Sprouts! Sprouts! I can't believe this is happening forever. I can't get in touch with you, tough guy, and I just get cravings.
"... I will no longer"
"Huh?"
"I will no longer! Tight, you're driving me crazy! Take responsibility!
Yeah, it's all tough. It's your fault. I've gone crazy since I met you. [M] You're the one who freaked me out. So tough you're bad, tough you're too good, cute you're bad, funny you're bad, and...
- I'll protect you.
- You're the tough one, you look bad. Why are you scratching my heart? I wanted to touch you, but I couldn't.
What the hell did you do to me? You did something before I knew it, didn't you? You didn't want me to touch you so badly that I couldn't touch you? Something tickled my chest a little.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I mean, are you insatiable?
"No... no, it's not... it's not!
"Uh, yes, yes, so what do you want me to do?
You're kind of a throw-out tough guy, I don't care what he tells you to do... I'm tough. What do you want me to do? Chiu? Or do you want me to lick you? I feel different about all of them.
"Hmm? Leila?
"... I will no longer"
"Huh?"
"Mumble"
"What?
"It's in my chest, it's painful... do something about this... tight you"
But that word came out of my mouth naturally. I'm sure you'll do something about it. I thought so.
'Cause you've always been tough. You've done a lot of things. Besides, it's your fault that this happened. You can do something about it.
"... Leila really loves me"
"Huh?"
"I don't have a choice... Look, don't just stand there. Come here"
Tight you invite me. [M] My chest rang loudly again.
With a little hesitation, I walk over to you, the tight one sitting in bed. Then you took my hand and pulled it. As I was drawn to that power, I fell on my back on the bed and put my head on your thighs even tighter.
As I rounded my eyes, I looked up at your thin, smiling face. [M] When I understood I was being put on a knee pillow, I felt my face get just a little hot.
But...
"I'll do this to you specially all the time tonight, so you're going to stay asleep. Sleep one night and you'll be all right."
".................. yeah"
Just for a moment, I felt like the agonizing sprouts were gone. Instead, I kind of feel something warm spreading from the depths of my body twitching into my chest.
"-Good night, Layla. That was a lovely confession in there."
As drowsiness struck me and my consciousness faded... I thought I heard your words come down.
