After Mr. Eden leaves, me and Mr. Noyne stop some distance away.

"Speaking of which... we came here with Mr. Eden's help, but we need to tell Lilia and the others that the fight is over..."

"Oh, then I'll be fine."

It was Alice, not Mr. Noyne, who answered my whining that came to mind.

"There's Split Alice 44 over there - Phantom King version, so I'll tell you from there"

"Oh, well, thank you"

"Yes, yes, if I can help you again."

Tell Lilia and the others it's okay, and Alice disappears again.

Alice can really count on me because she understands the situation and she's moving.

And when Alice disappears, Mr. Noyne begins to look around with a chill.

Then Mr. Noyne put his knee and tripod on the ground in a flowing motion... and sat down.

"... Sorry for the inconvenience this time, Mr. Kite!

"Heh? Ah, uh..."

"I put my weakness on the shelf and caused a lot of inconvenience to Mr. Kite. This apology must be made!

"Yes, no!? You can apologize, so keep your head up!

"But..."

Apparently, Mr. Noyne cares a lot about being hostile to me, and that keeps his head down to rub it on the ground already.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about that at all, so I manage to talk to Mr. Noyne about trying to get his head up, but Mr. Noyne doesn't quite get his head up.

Keeping me grounded like this is awkward somehow... and I'm not even going to ask you to apologize...

"And anyway, because I don't care!

"... Yes"

After a few words, Mr. Noyne puts his head up shingly, but remains with a look that doesn't float if he still cares.

Uh-huh. The air is heavy...... is there any good topic? Like I can change this air......

"... Speaking of which!

"Yes?"

"This is the hill of the brave, which means there's a 'friendly city' nearby! I'm here near the corner... after hours, I'm going to play with you..."

"Hey!?

It was a distraction I suggested in distress... but Mr. Noyne's reaction was very different from my expectations.

The moment he heard my words, Mr. Noyne gave such a desperate expression that he thought the world was over, shuddering in a trembling voice with tons of sweat.

"... or Mr. Kite... well, so angry..."

"... to?

"Ho, I'm so sorry! Hey, I'll do anything! So that's all..."

"Huh? Huh!?

For some reason again, Mr. Noyne bows his head with more momentum than earlier. Huh? Why? Did I say something weird?

I'm so confused, I can hear Alice from nowhere.

"... Mr. Stone Kite, Hikari's attempt to take you to 'The Most Unwanted Place in the World' is a punishment that will do immense damage to shame"

"Ugh, yeah? What do you mean?

"Huh? No, because in the friendly city of Hikari there are as many statues and mountains of Hikari..."

……

Ahhh!? Shit!? Oh well... Friendly cities are, in short, places that honor the first brave men in the entire city...

Let me tell you, it's like the main mountain of a church that worships the first brave men, so as Mr. Noyne, it's a place you never want to get close to.

And I didn't know anything about that, and I invited Mr. Noyne, who felt responsible.

I mean, for Mr. Noyne, my words earlier were... 'I'll taste the greatest shame as punishment. I don't have a veto'... or something like that, I guess.

"Chi, no! Mr. Noyne, I never meant to say that... or look up! 'Cause it's okay!

"So, but Mr. Kite is mad at me..."

"I'm not mad! Because it's true!?

"Then again, some apologies..."

"Aren't you connected?!?

"Ya, still angry..."

"No, no, that's why I'm not mad!

"Now apologize..."

"What is this infinite loop!?

... No. Once thoughts lean in the negative direction, this guy and I are stubborn. It's also because I accidentally said something far-fetched, but apparently in Mr. Noyne... the diagram that I refuse to apologize = angry has been completed.

When this happens, I feel like it's going to go on and on until you apologize for something... should you do something right?

"... uh, then..."

In the meantime, I apologize for the inconvenience, and I whisper it to Mr. Noin, who is bowing his head for a moment.

With this content, you won't be as burdened by Mr. Noyne, and I appreciate it... why not improvise it for a percentage of the time?

But Mr. Noyne's reaction... again, it wasn't what I expected.

"... Huh? Oh, well, that's, uh... ah, ah... hey, I've heard that... yes, that's a covert word..."

"Uh... Mr. Noyne?

Mr. Noyne looks up bright red for some reason and gives me a troubled look after staring at me jiggly. Huh? What's this reaction?

And Mr. Noin puts his hand on his chin and starts whispering bumps as he leans down on his face.

"... this, prenup... but I said I would do anything... oh, but before my dowry, no... but I can't withdraw the foreword... so, but I'm ashamed... but..."

"... Mr. Noyne? Mr. Noyne!

"Hiya!?

"So, are you okay?

"So, so, so frightening!?

... Huh? What? What?

"... uh, I wouldn't say impossible, would I? If you don't like it, I'll think of another favor..."

"Yes, no! Or, I don't mind! I am shallow in shallow school, but I will make amends for all my spirits, crushed bones, and 'have this body'! You can apologize for that!

...... weird. After all, something's wrong.

Why are you so prepared to go to such a place of death?

I'm just saying... 'Next time I'm going to visit, let me eat something delicious'...

Uh-huh. I'm talking about Mr. Noyne, so does that mean he'll be willing to cook fancy dishes? I don't need you to go that far...

"Oh, no, it's nothing. You don't have to feel that way, do you?

"Yes, no! It's very important, and I'll be well prepared!

"Oh, really..."

"Oh, hey, should I have a bath too?

"Huh? You don't have to go that far... if Mr. Noyne doesn't mind"

How dare you not have to worry so much about preparing a meal as well as a bath... is Mr. Noyne's bath at home a cypress bath one maybe? If so, I would like to try it.

"... so, which do you prefer... Mr. Kite... kimono or yukata, duh?

"... uh, is that a yukata?

Honestly, I don't really understand the difference between a kimono and a yukata... or why are you asking me that?

Dear Sir, Mother, Father - I promised Mr. Noin an apology for this incident that I would treat him to handicrafts. But is it your fault? I don't know, I think Mr. Noyne's reaction is - strangely softening.
