Levelmaker

"Well, I gave it to you for now!

"Okay."

I got a ring and thread from a dream. I've kind of been spared a detailed explanation, but for now, this pairing set seems to have the effect of never being able to leave each other again. I attach it with my partner, and when one dies, I live back next to that partner. The substitute is to get out and come next door immediately, even if it's sealed or flown into a different world. You're never going to be able to leave me, literally, even if I die. So Had A Dream told me to talk to Lil a lot about whether to put this on.

I feel kind of magnificent when it comes to the effect that no matter how much we say we are love love, no matter what happens, we won't be able to leave for the rest of our lives. If people who hate each other were put on this, it would be nothing but the worst. My belly is set... but what will Lil do?

"Hey, Lil, what are you gonna do?"

"... will Shaw stay with me for the rest of my life?

"Oh."

When I gave him an instant answer, Lil grinned happily and let his eyes shine like balls. My tail is also rough, I look visibly happy. Damn cute, what the hell is this guy?

"I'd love to be on your side for the rest of my life if the show was good, too."

"Right."

"Let's put it on. Oh, but you can't have your left hand pharmacopoeia, it's going to be an engagement ring or a wedding ring."

"Right."

We put rings on the same fingers and bracketed red threads on each other's pinkies. The red thread disappeared after a while. It's a feeling absorbed by the body. Apparently, the ring can be freely transparent, but you can think you'll never be able to remove it again. I don't mind that.

"Wah-hoo."

"All right, all right."

This will automatically bring us back to life even if we die. I have to die at the same time. I have this matter with you the other day, and I honestly feel relieved that I got a ring and thread with that effect.

... but I hear you've been wearing this for quite some time now, with beautiful flowers. How lovely are those guys? No, you just said it was those two. It's strange to have dreams of making such a dead and inseparable piece of equipment, but maybe Miho also made an instant decision. I know Mika, when I said that despair back then...

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow."

………

I understand that sense of despair, too. Maybe this ring is a substitute created by despair.

"... because what do we do?

My brother handed me the ring and the yarn, and the leaves who were briefed on it immediately consulted with the cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms tried to put on quickly, but I calmed down for a moment and decided to think about it.

"Or what do you want me to do?

"Me? As long as the cherry blossoms are good, I'll be right behind you."

"Oh, my God."

That's what Ye said without a minute's stray. Cherry blossoms return the answer in the light.

"Wow, I'll put it on too"

"I ask you once, no regrets?

"You even made a marriage promise?

"Right, bye"

They put rings on each other's same fingers and bracketed red threads on their little fingers. Cherry blossoms smiled gently at the ring they wore.

"Now you'll be right back next to me, even with eyes like yesterday...!

"I wish you'd told me sooner if there was such a thing, if you were my brother"

"Don't you have a choice? 'Cause it's not heavy all your life."

"Sort of."

Leaf also began to look at the ring attached to him. A simple ring that seeks to be easy to live and only has a finely dug gold pattern. But the pattern of the ring can be reminiscent of the finest craftsmen at the peak. Actually, you're right.

"Speaking of which, your brother made this."

"Right? Maybe she's wearing Ayu too."

"Yeah, he said he's been wearing it since Mizuka's birthday before. Anyway, if you're not a beautiful flower, was your brother the kind of character to come up with such a binding effect?

"... I asked your sister before, once, that samaire told the demon god sister..."

"Oh, you did. Then I'm convinced."

Ye thought. Tell me what that brother thought of making this. I'll see about the cherry blossoms I tasted despair over my death. The cherry blossom was looking at the ring again as if it were a lull.

I imagined the leaves. If cherry blossoms die in front of themselves. It can also be gutted, your body torn apart by impact, suddenly made to die or ashed by forces you're not sure about. The moment I imagined that for a moment, the cold ran all over the body of the leaves. And I had a hunch, that I would be broken.

"Cherry Blossom"

"What? Why are you spreading your arms?

"I just wanted to hug you"

…… Fine. "

Hugging cherry blossoms walking towards me, the leaves thanked their brother for making a good ring.

"Oh my... this ring makes me feel married"

"Hmm? The place you put it on isn't a drug finger, is it?

"Still. We'll be together forever."

The leaves, struck by a cherry blossom that smiled nicely and joyfully, stopped thinking on the spot and strengthened the power to embrace it.

I'm sorry to say anything, but we're six days away from launching the book version of Levelmaker...... I'm posting this maybe late at night, so you're practically 5 days away.

I feel like some kind of bottomless power springs up from the depths.
