Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

Episode 324: Investigate Again, And Next Hand

There's nothing there.

My voice hangs in the cave.

In the early morning, the sea cools down and the back of my nose hurts.

I feel that my voice is more squeaky than yesterday when I walked in during the day.

"... this is the wall Alvaro couldn't break?"

"That's right. Oila also tried a bit with her horns, but she didn't have any teeth at all."

Magda touches the rock wall blocking the path and moves her ears to explore something.

Don't use [Red Moya], right?

"... Yashiro, the abbreviation is --- the following abbreviations"

I've abbreviated it.

You just show me the will to protest.

"... if it's not possible with Alvaro's [white shivering something], it's probably not even possible with Magda's [red shivering something]." If you're considering destroying this, you should bring Medrama. "

Magda argues that it would be impossible without Medra.

If you let me tell you my opinion, maybe MEDRAD won't be able to do it.

Even if the frog was irrelevant in this case, the passage that had been passed through before was blocked by the rock wall, and it is a common sense phenomenon that no influence is exerted on the ground in the neighborhood or on the cave. There is a small chance that the spirit god is involved.

If this is not the work of the Spirit God, I will recommend [Magic of Someone in the Spirit God Class] as the next candidate.

Anyway, this isn't human.

“Probably, the route will curve big enough to avoid these rocks.”

We're in the north aisle on the 42nd. The northern passageway is blocked by a mysterious wall, so we'll have to dig across this side to the south to allow the ship to pass.

Do you think you can do it?

"I can't say anything without investigating it, but I don't think it will be a problem if it's the same geology"

I'll take a closer look at the seabed next time.

In order for the ship to pass, the seabed must also be shredded to a certain extent.

Normally, a ship should sail deep away from the shallows, but this selfish mermaid wants to let her in where she wants to go.

They say they cut the seabed with the power of a mermaid, so I leave that area to them.

Everything seems to be doing quite a bit of work in the ocean.

However, it seems to be a rough construction that is not comparable to a polite and safe Tolbeck shop.

No, there's no loophole.

Along with Natalia, Estella was carefully investigating whether there were any lateral holes, loopholes, or hidden doors that the frogs might be able to pass through. Looks like it didn't work out.

I also tried to find out if there was a trick somewhere, but there was nothing like it.

It was a perfectly normal cave.

I beat the walls and floors with an iron bar and checked for cavities, but it was also an empty gesture.

Can we go beyond this wall, Wumalo?

"If I spin the boat, I might be able to get there... but I'm going to climb the cliff."

The passageway in the cave initially has a passageway at the same height as the sea level, but gradually rises uphill to a height of about 10 meters.

It is troublesome to get on and off the boat only from near the entrance due to the consideration of not being struck by waves during construction.

So I went back to the boat, and I took the boat over the rock wall, and I climbed the cliff beyond that.

... I shouldn't have done it.

Is this going down the same cliff on the way back...... heheh......

There's nothing there.

"... ahhh"

Unlike me, Estella didn't let me breathe much.

Exercise isn't an enemy, is it?

"There's no load..."

"You don't either!?" Oh, no. I have one! "

It looks like your instincts refused to vanity and made you an honest critic, Master Estella.

"Shut up."

Eh, 'I envy the load?'

I didn't say that!

'I don't envy' is Estella who doesn't say when her mouth is broken.

I was pissed off and checked the back of the rock wall.

Looking at it from this side, it's a normal rock.

But...

If you're digging through the entrance, it must be strange that there's a passageway in this place we're in right now.

If we were digging from the entrance in sequence, it's strange that there's a passageway beyond the wall.

The existence of a passageway here is evidence that the passageway once dug was blocked.

"If it's the other way around, I've made some inferences."

Reverse?

If you were able to get through the road that was supposed to be blocked, you'd think MEDRA would have come to relieve the stress, wouldn't you?

"...... I wouldn't do that if I came all the way here, Ms Medra..."

It's about the possibilities.

It is impossible to say that it is 100% impossible.

It's a situation that doesn't even allow for the slightest possibility, right now.

The passageway is suddenly blocked... right?

From here, let's take a look to the point where the construction was originally going on.

That being said, I'll be there in no time.

Just 15 meters beyond the mysterious rock wall, it was dead end again.

This is a rock wall that hasn't really been dug up.

It felt exactly like the mysterious rock wall.

But...

Magda, can you break it?

"... I'll try"

When Magda hit the rock wall, a rock of about one fist sprang out.

"... spare time"

After all, just rocks can be destroyed by bare hands.

... yeah, that's great. Normally, bare hands don't shatter rocks.

For now, don't make Magda angry.

I've always been on Magda's side.

"It looks similar, but the rock wall over there and the rock wall over here -- both are confusing in [rock wall]." Now, let's name the rock wall that we think is the [Mysterious Wall] and the [Lord's Wall]. "

I refuse to name it!

Why? I just screamed?

That's why! That's what I thought!

So, the Mysterious Wall and the Lord's Wall seem to resemble one another.

"Can you ignore me and not proceed!?"

That's enough, at the Lord's Wall.

It looks just like you... poop.

Alright, let's check the south passage as well.

"That's right.... at least it would be helpful if there was a sign of something."

I thought it was a thin hope, but it turned out as I expected.

No matter how careful I looked, there were no holes that people could pass through, no places that they could hide, and no signs that anything was lurking.

I ate dinner in the cave and studied it with a lot of persistence, but in the end I didn't get any results.

"The carpenters." I wonder if something really happened here? "

"Nothing makes you want to doubt that."

Haa ~ If I let out a sigh, it would have stopped echoing around in the morning.

There seems to be a considerable temperature difference in this cave depending on the time.

"Womaro, just in case, the six carpenters who were making a fuss about seeing a frog. It's not like Wishato's breath was on the line, is it?"

That's not true, right?

When asked, the only carpenters who come to District 42 to help are the lords of the districts who have been carefully checked and judged to be ok.

It seems that the carpenters, who have abilities, but are engaged with the union and certain aristocrats, have restricted their dispatch to the 42nd arrondissement under the authority of the lord.

Is there such a carpenter?

"It seems that the lords of the periphery were uncomfortable and critical with Wishato's actions at the opening ceremony." Even aristocrats who seem irrelevant at first glance, if you go backwards, you'll reach Wishato, and you're limiting that connection.... especially since it's the most dangerous time right now. "

I just took bad action in favour of Wishato, which caused a lot of damage to District 42. If that happens, the 42nd arrondissement will naturally be hostile to us.

Forty-two districts can be frustrated by the wandering of nice Yan Avenue, thirty-five districts that are fully cooperating in the construction of the port, and Estella and the rebellion from the forty districts of close lords like relatives are also necessary.

In other words, it is like turning everything from Zone 42 to Zone 35 against the enemy.

Well, the lords will be careful, too.

Under normal circumstances, I would say, "I was inadvertently sorry!" But even now that Wishato is sharpening his fangs, that "accident" can be fatal.

If we don't do something soon, the stomach of the lords of the outer perimeter may become a beehive under stress.

Anyway, it seems that the carpenters did not make a false claim to delay the construction.

When that happens, I'm really going to lose my hand, but.....

"It's time to go back." It seems like this cave will get cold all at once when the sun goes down. "

"... I guess. I might be active after someone falls asleep, but I don't want to be in a place like this until dawn."

"... let the Usse do it." For now, don't talk about the mysterious wall, but have them watch the cave at night and capture it if anything happens. Hunters are good at staying up at night. "

Magda tells the Hunting Guild that there's no level of secrets or dangers in the cave that no one should know about.

Well, I just had to look into the temple of the spirit god, the ruins, the relics, and see that there were no undetectable things that came out of nowhere.

For the time being, there was nothing in this cave that could lead to a "curse" or a "fashionable disease".

Then there's no need to control the information more than necessary.

In the meantime, you can just tell Estella not to make unwelcome noise if anything happens.

Welcome home ~I wonder if you won't do anything?

Marsha, who couldn't walk on land and waited by the boat, greets me.

Marsha was looking into the ocean in the cave, but it didn't seem to work.

"In the meantime, let's go back to the Yangtze Pavilion." Let's have a warm meal and think about the next hand. ”

the next hand, Estella says.....

Well, I don't know what to do, but I'm honest with you.

There is no such thing as a way to prove that there is nothing to take and nothing to do.

But I couldn't convince myself that there was nothing.

Well, I'm thinking of one thing I should try.

It is said by Estella, "Let us eat the rice that was the pavilion of the sun."

I stayed by the sea all the time and my body was cold.

As they left the cave, Delia and the hunting guilds rummaged around the harbor.

What's going on?

And I said, "Well, I don't know what's going to happen if anything happens to me."

Everything seems suspicious after everything I've done.

In short, nothing.

In fact, without clear instructions to "look for these signs", the difficulty of investigation will jump to a high level.

"Look for something strange," he said. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh!

Later, when I was told, "Actually, there was this kind of weirdness at that time," I honestly said, "Do you notice such a thing or not?! That's what I'm talking about."

"Ugh... it's cold!"

Use peeled his muscles! ”I shrink it.

Don't make a disgusting noise. I'll boil it and drop it, that muscle.

"Yashiro, are you okay?"

Delia has been investigating the port all day, her hands and face dirty with mud.

Delia, it's dirty.

"And the palms." Your hair is sticky. "

Delia's fingers are tangled in my hair.

Tattoo!

I'm getting caught up!

"Because it was hit by the sea breeze... ah, by the way, the humidity was very high in the morning, in the cave"

Wow, my hair is sticky, too

My chest is also pounding, pounding, pounding

"Nh, I'll dare to go through it." Everyone, don't do this to me. "

"...... I'm sorry. The eggs are eating a lot."

"Oh!? Damn, I'm not eating it!"

"...... Yokai, peel, peel, peel, peel, peel, peel, peel"

I didn't do it!

"...... [Spirit 's-]"

That's not in the guild, Magda!

You're confessing that you've been eating.

Shall I stop by the public bath and go home?

If you can wait a bit, you can enter the pavilion in the sun.

"I see. I'm hungry, and I'm eating sweet things." Yeah, I will. "

Delia laughed as she headed to the door.

Unlike yesterday, it has a soft expression.

With this face, Campanula wouldn't care.

Yesterday, I was a little distracted and the number of mouths was decreasing.

Marsha! Isn't Marsha coming?

"Hmmm. I'm sorry. I want to go, but I have to go fishing."

I can't ignore my main job.

Marsha waved her hand and swam toward the cave she had just come out of.

I guess this will put off the completion of the harbor, which was about to be finished soon.

... Damn it. Damn it.

"It seems that the palm trees didn't yield either, so let's cut them up here and go to the pavilion." I'm hungry, too. "

"...... 'I don't see enough tits either'"

"I didn't say that!"

"Usse, come on, don't you hate it when you say that?"

"I didn't tell you, I didn't!" So, tell Yashiro first, not me, the bear's daughter! "

"Huh? I mean, there's nothing you can do about the palm trees." It's a palm tree. "

Hahahaha, Delia ~?

What am I like in you?

With so much mystery theory, I don't know if I was defended or despised by shit.

Anyway, let's go back to the city gate.

With Natalia and Magda ahead, the Usse hunters hardened their backs, and Estella and Delia clinging to my side, we made our way back to the city gates.

"Isn't that a lot of people?" By the way, aren't you thinking about sneaking around and resuming construction? "

Through the gate, Wishato's butler waited in the square.

"I was investigating. I thought you guys wanted it too, but was it a mistake?"

"Hmm. It's your duty to report the findings." I'd like to hear about the results as soon as possible. "

Of course I'm going to, but if you get in my way, I don't know when it's going to happen.

I wonder if you're having any trouble with the delay in resuming construction?

"Heh, you don't mind, Mr. Wishart." I felt like I was saying what happened to the frogs under my feet, but even if the truth is not clear, I can still see them going about their daily lives. "

No ~ It's a big deal, Estella looks at the butler with sharp eyes, impressed with a big gesture of admiration.

It's like you know something.

"You! You want to say that the museum masterminds [Hari-kari]!?" It's an unseen lie! "

"I'm just praising you for being so calm."

Oh, Estella's an aristocrat.

I'm sure Lucia and Maru had some bad friends.

The environment is scary ~.

You're the one who sounds like there's nothing behind this incident?

"Of course!" I don't know anything about frogs! "

"Are you prepared to put the [Spirit Judgment] on that word?"

"Of course! Try it!" Be prepared for the retribution! "

The butler's eyes did not sway at all.

At least there's no lying in his words now.

Wishato set up a frog scene and the line disappeared.

Of course, it's Wishat. There's no way you can believe that this is innocent.

... but this time, you've been listening to the frogs and harassing them.

He'll be forced to turn around now that he's sealed off the Information Paper and the Civil Engineering Guild.

I'm sure you'll buy me some time so I can get on with ease.

"I'm keeping an eye on you so that you don't deceive the museum and resume construction." If you don't want to be monitored, why don't you declare that construction will not resume until you get permission from the museum? "

You won't be interfering with anyone else in the ward.

It is ridiculous to have the permission of the thirtieth ward lord to resume construction in the forty-second ward. I can't talk about it.

If you admit such a thing, you will say, "If you want to reopen, give me the interest."

Now that the relationship of trust between the two sides is completely broken, we cannot accept such a stupid demand even if it is "only in shape".

"Can you say 'since the frogs came out' to me?"

"I can't see the filthy things coming out of the hall!" You're still planning something, aren't you? Something like applying mud to the name of the building! "

A knife is poked in front of the butler who flies a vulture.

”... I won't let you cancel my words, Shiro”

Natalia's eyes are changing color.

Five seconds ago.

"Hmm... You think I'm the only one who's good at martial arts?" your degree of knife technique, etc. --- "

Don 't-- oh!

"Ah, I see. I've broken the road."

Delia was crushing the bricks beneath her feet.

The nicely laid bricks are shattered, rolled up, and large indentations are created on the ground below them.

Does it break that far with the legs... amazing, after all.

"Ah ~......, construction is delayed because of someone, and we can't hunt either... I don't want to exercise somewhere so that our bodies aren't dull... right?"

The huntsmen below Usse had their proud muscles boosted and dominated the butler Wishato.

Wishato, the butler who seemed to be able to cross Natalia alone, probably didn't want to brawl against the Beastmen and the Hunting Guild hunters.

She held her temples with her fingers covered in stubborn white gloves and exhaled briefly.

"Hmm... it's a barbaric city."

Withdrawing from the defeat, he takes a step back.

Natalia would have jumped if I had been half a step ahead.

"Butler, the poor quality of service is evidence of the Lord's lack of ability." It's a good idea not to expose too many undesirable people. ”

"What...?"

Natalia thrusts a tickle and a thorn in the words of the retreating butler Wishato.

It's sad that even this Delia-san overlooks what she noticed at first sight.

Say, I'll take a bunch of Estella's hair.

Sticky red hair with sea breeze and sweat.

"I think it's obvious that we were investigating the caves until this beautiful hair came to this."

Then, while wiping Estella's cheeks with a white handkerchief, she quietly began to exude a murderous aura.

"The lord himself is investigating the cave where there was a report of seeing a frog in the forest outside without knowing what was lurking - if your lord is an asshole, I can't even feel the sincerity of it, will you give me permission?"

Facing the butler Wishato, he spoke out with an expression that he could not feel any emotions.

You can either be devoured by a beast, attacked by a frog swarm, or you can be cursed by touching the backlash of the spirit god with special permission to investigate the cave.

The frog curse they were calling. Natalia dared to say such a thing.

I can't help but feel that anger.

"If you can do it, try it."

And the pain of Natalia herself, who is putting Estella at such risk, is well conveyed.

"... hmm. It's not your job to do that kind of work."

"My Lord has taken the initiative to do that." If it is your sincerity toward the Lord, is it an idiot who does not know the extent of it? Your Lord? "

What are you talking about!?

"That's what your attitude says... but you didn't notice?"

"...... Tsk. Let's finish the investigation and come to the report."

The butler Wishart abandons and returns his heel.

But...

"Whoa!?"

"... be careful on the way home.... 'cause I don't know what's there'

― ― Magda was standing tightly behind her, and she seemed to be surprised, letting out a strange voice.

Natalia would have known.

Butler Wishato is a butler who is far from Natalia.

Well, the [Wishato family] was the only [the best one] who was chosen with restrictions in place. Because Magda knew the strength of the opponent, Delia and Usse didn't make contact when they got up.

But the threat now worked.

I wish you'd realized that you couldn't attack District 42 by force.

No matter how strong the Beastman is, Javier and MEDRAD are here, and the Deacon is not at Magda's level.

If you give up the invasion, Milly and the others will feel more at ease.

The deacon Wishato quickly left the square after watching Natalia silently staring at her last time, leaving a tongue-stroke of "......".

What did you do?

When I returned to Yangtze Pavilion, Regina was in the street in front of the store.

It seemed that he was just about to go to Yangtai Pavilion, and he was about to walk from the main street.

He looks across our faces and breathes out in amazement.

"Everyone, after eh, pussy boobs"

"What kind of boobs!?"

Regina didn't seem to be looking at her face.

Oh dear, if you're angry, you'll have a scary expression even on your boobs.

"Everyone, let's get wrinkled in the valley."

I didn't bring you here!

"Well, let's not lean on the lord, but..."

”That's not what you mean, I can even get wrinkles!”

Huh, which one?

"I won't show you!? Are you thinking the same as Yashiro?!"

"" Disrespectful. ""

"You should be ashamed that your breath is perfect, each other!"

Estella is alone in the festivities, and the frustrated atmosphere that surrounded us somehow dissipates.

I don't think Regina would have said that in a sneaky and obscene way, but it's good that the air has changed as a result.

I'll give you honest compliments once in a while.

Regina's boobs are going to help.

"Stop it, it's just a self-righteous delusion. No unauthorized use, please."

Yep.

It doesn't convey my intentions, but it's okay.

I didn't have to worry about the details of Regina's opponent.

"What, it's going to be so difficult and troublesome again, huh?"

He touched Estella's hair and gave her a small vial that said, "This is a shampoo for sticky hair in the ocean breeze."

It seems that she made a shampoo to repair the damage caused by salt wind because she could build a harbor.

As a merchant, I have a good sensibility.

This makes me a good merchant if I'm not lazy and obscene.....

Tayun Fufu's boobs are hanging, and I came to say "Did you make the medicine?" to my place

Norma?

"How do you know I'm Norma now?!"

I don't have to go out of my way to explain that.

Few people have boobs that can be described as' fluffy '.

Delia says, "Pahh! And Ginette said," What the hell! "

Besides, Norma doesn't get angry when she plays with her boobs, so it's easy to say.

Norma's boobs are made of free material.

Pretend I don't know, but once you cry, you should be angry.

No matter how much I mess with you, you don't claim copyright or copyright, you're like the Virgin Mary, Norma.

Well, sometimes the ashes of the smoke pipe are thrown around my neck.

So, this infection is about to happen?

"I don't know, and I want to make sure it doesn't happen. But just in case."

"I see...."

Somehow, for a moment now, I felt the discomfort in Regina's expression.

"Hey, what's up?" Are you staring at me? Shame... no, don't be so uncomfortable. "

"Why did you say it again like it was a pity...?"

Estella is dazed and Regina laughs.

So, I'll go back to the original air again... but I wonder what it was, the instant expression.

Somewhere relieved, it looks very painful, somehow lonely.

That's how it looked.

"Anyway, Regina, come too." I'll tell you more about it. "

Come on, it's going to be rough ~

"... even though I've been spending money lately"

Estella grunted at Regina, who had been making a lot of money lately.

That's not the face of the city's number one aristocrat, is it?

Even if you're a nobleman, you don't have money.

Tempuro, former chairman of the information paper, lost the information paper that he bought by pouring everything into it, and now it's gone.

Just because I'm an aristocrat doesn't mean I have a territory. I am not in a position to collect the tax.

An aristocrat who was originally powerless just happened to hit an informational paper and gained power, and now that the informational paper is gone, he has nothing left.

Even if you try to start a business from now on, you probably won't see any collaborators because bad things are known because of the article titled "The Shame of Internal Dispute" written by Tartrio.

If I help you, you may get parasitic and take over slowly.

That's what that idiot did, and that kind of behavior makes you lose your trust without a second thought.

It can also be said that the Hoilton family sold off the management of the Information Publishing Committee at their own convenience without notifying Turtleneck.

Who would trust someone who unilaterally discards the trust that has been cultivated over the years at their own convenience?

The two nobles who betrayed the Information Paper will be put in a tough position in the future.

By the way, now that I've lost the information paper, I'm wondering if the Wishato daughter who became the bait will stay at the Hoilton house. I think that when it almost cools down, I will go back to my parents' home even if I dissociate myself with an appropriate reason.

I mean, it's annoying to have a relationship with a relative, right?

"I betrayed the information paper for you, and I fell down." I don't think Wishato would be able to help me if I were to say, "Please help me."

I don't think we should cut our ties with the fallen aristocrats who have lost their power.

Well, I deserved it.

"What's the matter, Yashiro?" Don't you want to go in? "

"Hmm? No."

Estella waits outside for me to open the door.

Even with the same "nobleman" tie, my eyes are so different.

Categories should not be used as a reference for measuring people.

I thought it was going to be a lot harder for the nobility.

That's right ~. That's why you should be more kind to me too.

It's pretty much from the top, isn't it?

"I'm sorry, you're a noble person, I'm sorry"

Estella, who made such a joke, smiled as she did when she met her.

Encountering a lot of guys and going through a lot of things, Estella is leveling up as a lord.

Still, nothing has changed in the fundamental part.

That was a good smile.

"You don't grow up, do you?"

"Shut up, even this is a little..."

I swelled my cheeks and shut the door.

One of us will be left outside.

Looking back, the countryside is expanding.

Even though the streets are well maintained, there are lush grass and trees beyond the streets. Beyond that is the field.

Even in the 42nd arrondissement, this neighborhood is lonely.

From the first time I saw it in the dark, no one lived around here.

I thought it was just the countryside.....

"It's a serious disease in the wetlands..."

In the end, I didn't see any frogs in the cave.

Probably, no matter how many caves we search for, the situation will remain the same.

I don't even know if there were any frogs in the cave, no matter how many caves I'm looking for.

Then we should change our approach.

Let's go after all.

My gaze goes far into the wetlands.

Instead of looking into the cave, let's look at the frogs.

I don't think there was a frog in the cave, but I think I'll try to find out if the frog ever goes to the cave.

However, as far as I can tell from the reactions of these people, I'd better do this investigation by myself.

Estella's father stepped into the wetlands to investigate the cause of the pandemic, and he himself was attacked by the disease.

You can't take Estella with you.

I'm sure you'll remember a lot of things and think about them.

Same goes for the others.

Because I cared about Estella and the forty-two wards, I could clearly say that there was no curse.

However, when you step into the wetlands, the situation changes.

There is still a danger of germs lurking in that place.

He who has lost his wife, he who has lost someone important. There are too many of them.

But I'm fine.

I'm not sentimental, and above all, I'm a wetlander. The first place I stepped on in the 42nd arrondissement was a wetland.

Besides, they know more about quarantine than anyone else here.

Speaking of which, they'll come after us if they can't.

Just go and take a quick look and report the results. You may complain about the after-action report, but you will be spared the scolding.

But I think I should tell Bertina before I go.

That place seems to be a very special place in spirituality.

Right now, I'm just out there by myself.

If you go to church like this, no one will notice.

When I thought about it, the door of the Yangtze Pavilion opened.

I peeked into her face like she was peeking into the store.

Did you just call me in?

― ― It was Bertina who was thinking of going to see her.

When I looked at what I was doing here, I saw a tartar sauce in my mouth.

"... delicious, white meat fries"

“Yes, I think fish sandwiches are an invention that will go down in human history.”

What a relaxing smile, but a very calm smile shone.

"Hey, Bertina, I need to ask you something."

“Yes, let's go inside.”

"Ah, no.... is it okay here?"

When you get inside, all kinds of people are going to listen to you say, "What?"

I thought so, and Bertina looked a little lonely.

“Yashiro-san, don't do anything uncomfortable to anyone.”

"No, it's not like that..."

“I want you to use your kindness to please someone.”

The words seemed to make me wonder if my behavior would make me feel lonely, even if it didn't hurt anyone.

I think and act alone, judging that it will be a good outcome for everyone.

That's exactly what I did at the cannibalism tournament.

It is the best option for no one to be in danger.

However, the word 'other than me' is hidden in front of the 'nobody'.

There are a few people here who feel sad about it.

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

"All right, let's talk inside."

“Yes, then I'll get you a change.”

"You can't talk unless you're eating..."

"Eating while eating often leads to fun results"

Who took the statistics, where did they go?

With Bertina holding my hand, I enter the Pavilion of the Sun.

Welcome back, Yashiro-san.

Then Ginette greets me with an unchanged smile.

... oh, yeah.

If I'd sneaked into the wetlands, I'd have sneaked back so Ginette wouldn't find me.

Sometimes it's quarantine, but it's backwardness that wins.

In my head, Ginette's face seemed to cry.

When the cannibal tournament was over, Ricardo was scolded, the audience was threatened, Estella was battered, and I tried to leave the stage alone as a villain. The face of Ginette was when I was held back.

Don't make me look like that anymore.

"Ginette"

Yes.

Call your name and a defenseless face will answer.

You can't betray this smile.

"My whole body's drowning. Can you help me get the bath ready?"

"Yes, I'm boiling now, please wait a little longer"

I guess Estella or Magda asked for it first.

It seemed that the bath was already being prepared.

"I think tomorrow it's going to get even dirtier."

Are you going to dive into the ocean?

Given the possibility of getting dirty today, Ginette says something like that.

I shake my head and wipe the faces of those who are here now.

Estella and Delia are watching us.

Regina is sitting here, sitting right here.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the wetlands."

Zaah...... and the air inside the store filled up.

However, the smile in front of me didn't change at all.

"Well then, maybe there will be mud on it." I'll also prepare a change of clothes. "

- Give me a word like that.

After all, I'm glad we're here to talk.

Because the Ginette remains the same, the others will be returned to me. Don't lose sight of yourself.

"Are you sure you want to go to the wetlands?"

As expected, a slum, a wetland, a place where people live, a place to return to where they can be happy and sad.

Looking at Ginette makes me feel sorry for your intolerance. I'm sure the others will too.

"Ah, if you can't get to the wetlands, why don't you take a look at the three dead trees?"

Three dead trees?

Yes, perhaps it's already withered.

I lowered my eyebrows to the letter "c" and said with slightly glittering eyes as it seemed to shine.

"This is where I was discarded."

Zaahhh... the interior of the store was rough.

Oh, I see. How many of you don't know Ginette's past?

No, but you do know that Ginette grew up in church, don't you?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't talk much about this kind of thing, do I?"

"No, I don't care about us..."

According to Estella's carefree gaze, "I was thrown away in the wetland" is something I should hide for myself.

Even if you don't hide it, it's not like you're going to mouth it.

Well, that's where the wetlands got sick.

It's not too much to say when they dumped me there.

But Ginette hasn't avoided the wetlands.

On the contrary, it seems to feel like nostalgia or familiarity somewhere.

She also said that it was her origin, and that she was going to see the wetland if there was anything.

I heard from the Sister that I was there to be protected by those three dead trees.

\ "Right?\" Ginette said, and Bertina nodded quietly as she took over the conversation.

“Just at the center of the dead trees lining the triangle, Ginette was fast asleep. It must have felt safe and protected by the big shadows."

Bertina laughed tinyly when she remembered the time.

"When I picked up Ginette and left the wetland, Ginette made a 'foggy' move towards the dead tree. I wave my little hand and stare with my big eyes."

"...... I wonder if someone did it?"

Bertina shakes her head as she asks if it's cold and faint.

“I looked back and checked, but there was no one there.”

”... isn't [Nani] there?”

I don't know about that.

It's getting chilly!

No, because, you know, dogs, cats and babies react to the invisible [nani]!?

Whoa, whoa... oh! What should we do? I wanted to stop investigating the wetlands.

"I wonder if you had a sense of closeness to the three dead trees?" Little Ginette. "

“How about that? I don't remember much either."

Estella normally joins the conversation.

Doing so makes Ginette's past 'normal'. It's not like touching a swollen object, but rather like telling an old story with a friend that you like.

"I've been wondering what's going on with those three dead trees for a long time."

"Didn't you try to find out?"

If there is no sense of repellency in the wetland ginette, I don't feel like going into the wetland as I go for a walk.

"I'm not allowed in the wetlands."

That said, Ginette's face was the same as usual, and it was never like she was joking.

You want to come in?

"I made a promise."... I don't remember who I was with. "

“Maybe it's a memory mistake,” Ginette says with a prefix.

"When I came to the Yangtze Pavilion for a while, I had a fight with my grandfather."

”Ehhh!?”

Awwww! That was awkward.

It's frightening, it's frightening.

The best place here is "Zazu"! There's something out there, right now!?

Instead of me going to the wetlands, I was thrown away in the wetlands of Ginette. More than anything, Ginette had a fight with her grandfather!?

Well, I was surprised too.

"No, I was still young, and I was really selfish back then... when I think about it now, I'm embarrassed, I'm sorry, I feel uneasy around here."

and squeeze the valley.

Eh, where?

Palm House!

A knife can be thrust into my nose when I step on it.

Estella, you're just tired.

Well, if you're tired, don't bother to clam up.

”Even though I knew it was my own selfishness, when I fought with my grandfather, I felt like I was alone... fufu, you wanted to spoil it, I was... like a child back then, so it's embarrassing.”

Ginette dyes her cheeks as she remembers her childhood.

Well, what do you want me to do... hug you?

Palm House!

Estella's knife for the second time.

Awesome. That's not an inch like that.

"So, I went to the wetland because I wanted to meet the three dead trees." The three dead trees were there unchanged, and I felt like they had welcomed me... "

And Ginette spent time in the wetlands, and one day she fell asleep.

In the slumbering consciousness, it is said that the sensation of being held up by someone is transmitted to the body.

And it seems that someone who has it said this.

You can't come to this place anymore. You can promise me that, right?

In response to that question, Ginette answered, "Yeah," and fell into a deep sleep.

"When I noticed it, it was on my bed. When I wake up, the smell of my grandfather's cooking smells so good..."

Remembering that time, Ginette closes her eyelids.

Her usual smile made her look particularly happy for now.

"I jumped into the kitchen and apologized to my grandfather. And I never had a fight with my grandfather.”

However, there seemed to be a bit of a bit of a "muzzle" after that.

“Surprisingly, Ginette thought I'd go to church if I needed anything.”

“Back then, there were just so many new children in the church.”

The church has a lot of kids smaller than Ginette.

They coincided with the period of their sudden increase, and they probably shunned the childish [Little Things].

"But I wonder who it is." I carried Ginette-chan in my arms. "

"I think it's your grandfather. He picked me up worried, I'm sure."

Well, that's normal thinking.

My grandfather knew where Ginette had been dumped.

So, in keeping with that promise, Ginette won't go inside even if she goes to the edge of the wetland.

Especially not even the three dead trees.

Well then, I'll see how it goes.

Suck it, Estella says.

I accidentally opened my eyes and looked at Estella.

Her gaze fits perfectly, and Estella raises her eyebrows and tells me.

"Don't be weird."

The expression seemed to contain a variety of words, and somehow became strange.
