Let's Manage The Tower
(14) Mick's thoughts
"Hahan. I see. That's why it's so unusual."
Hearing the end of the disturbance that had occurred in the school, Kaiseki nodded several times and saw Mick beside him.
"... besides, it's not peeling."
Mick looked beside Puy with his face that whoever he saw was in a bad mood.
I know very well that what I'm saying is unconvincing.
Seeing Miku like that, the examiner smiled.
"Really? I hope so. Did you just want me to tell you that story?
When Kaiseki dared to hear that, Mick deliberately inflated his cheeks.
"No, your father is mean."
"Ha ha ha. I'm sorry. But I really don't know what Mick wants to hear.
I know that Mick wanted to hear something and came to talk to me.
However, if you don't know the specifics, you can't answer the exam.
Mick kept silent for a while before eventually opening his mouth to ask about the examiner.
"... is it impossible for me to be like your mother?
"Hmm..."
In a way, I felt like thinking about the puberty question.
If it's true, you're right to say that you can't be exactly the same person, and you don't have to be.
However, I also knew that it was not the answer Mick was asking for.
I know very well that Mick has been working hard to peach since he was a little girl.
Of course, what we are aiming for is the power of the Dark One.
Without that goal, Mick would not have grown so far.
With the high goal of peach, Mick was able to grow so much.
That's why I couldn't give the answer right away that it doesn't have to be the same easily.
The assistant who had been thinking for a while listened while looking straight at Mick.
"Why would Mick want to be like Peach?
"Well, of course, is that because your mother is so nice?
For some reason, Mick leaned his neck and unexpectedly blew out the exam aid.
"Father, it's terrible."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But that's where Mick wonders too, right?
"... Mmm. But it's hard to put it into words."
Mick's feelings about Peach are complicated, and it's very difficult to put them into words.
It was the word "nice" that I tried to describe in one word, but I felt that it was not just that, so it became questionable.
Miku, who was thinking with a harsh face, said while laughing.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Huh?
"Because the impressions people have are different from each other."
Even if you are the same person, the impression you get is completely different depending on your viewing position and environment.
The impression of a peach from Kaiseki and Mik is completely different.
It would be very difficult to express it in words and make it understood by others.
This is the personal feeling of the examiner, not the truth.
"Oh, I see. In Mick's case, even if the same person plays the stream, the impression is different depending on the person who listens, right?
Though it was a somewhat intense reasoning, Kaiseki tried to make Mik understand by saying so.
Mick finally looked convinced that the street analogy was good.
"I see, but what else do I want to do with my mother?
"That's right. But there's something you can tell me from what we're talking about.
When Kaiseki said so, Mick leaned again.
"Even if Mick strives to be like Peach, he doesn't think the people around him are the same."
It was quite obvious, but Mick was happy with the explanation.
Seeing Miku's face, Kaiseki went on to say that this was important.
"That's why. Instead of aiming to be the same as Peach, I think we should aim in the same direction.
The explanation seemed to be a verbal play, but Mick had a feeling that something was inside him that convinced him from the previous story.
"It's not the same, it's the same direction..."
"Yes, well, after all, it's going to be the same."
Mick is taught by Peach and has acquired the skills to be a dark man.
This in itself is consistent with what Kaiseki has already said about "aiming in the same direction".
In his words, Mick, who noticed it, looked as if he had noticed something.
"I understand very well what your father is trying to say, but after all, it's the same as before, right?
Mick, who looked somewhat disappointed, shook his neck to the left and right.
"No, that's not true.
"... what do you mean?
"After all, Mick has been training without noticing it, as he was told. Then what should Mick do?
When Kaiseki asked, Mick had a faint contemplation.
Then, a little later, Mick had a slightly stiff expression and looked at the exam aid.
"... to find my own place to grow up and train?
To the answer Mick found, the examiner did not say anything in words, but only laughed nicely.
In this case, the answer was not one.
For the examiner, it was important for Mick to think for himself and find answers.
Seeing the smile of Kaiseki, Mick sighed with relief.
I thought about everything myself, and even if it wasn't the best, I thought I could give the best answer.
As a result, she didn't appear on her face or attitude, but she felt very excited in Miku.
While struggling not to put his feelings on the surface, Mick then decided not to keep the story.

"That's why I talked about it, but was it an unnecessary intrusion?
"No, that's not true. Thank you ~"
In the absence of Mick, Kaiseki told Peach that he had talked to Mick.
For Peach, I thought I'd have to tell him eventually, but I was happy that it fitted in the best way.
If possible, I didn't say it from Peach, but I wanted Mick to realize it by himself, so I didn't tell him until now.
That's why Peach was convinced that what Mick got when he talked to Kaiseki would be very important.
Peach, thinking about Mick's future, narrowed his eyes as he looked away.
"From now on, I hope Mick will still grow..."
"Oh, that's not enough."
"I don't know what happens to my life ~"
The examiner leaned slightly towards the peach who said such a serious thing.
"I have a strange feeling about it.
"That's right. I'm based on the actual experience ~"
Peach pushed his chest with his index finger a little while saying so.
The examiner, who understood what he wanted to say in the technique, replied with a bitter smile.
"I wasn't aiming for anything else."
"Mr. Kouske, I think that's all right ~"
What a sweet air flowed between them, but there was nobody else here, so I didn't have to feel like spitting sugar.
