28. Flora (8/28/2019)

After the guild, I visited Rhona's shop because the cloth to take care of the weapon was about to run out.

"Oh, Lena, what's going on today?

"I'm almost out of cloth to take care of my weapon, so I was hoping to refill that."

"Really? Wait a minute."

When I said that, Lorna disappeared into the back of the store and came back with a bag containing many pieces of cloth. It's just like that amount is a lot more than last time...... and put that bag in front of me thinking about it.

"If it's in this bag, you can take whatever you want, okay? 'Cause I'll throw it away already if it's too much."

Yes, Mr. Lorna said, but from what I've seen in the bag, some of it seems pretty usable, but do I really throw it away?

"Are you sure you're throwing this away?

"That's right. Cut ends, then. Not much to use, huh? Well, to a customer who said he wanted it for repair, sometimes I give it to him, but basically, do I throw it away? Because I make clothes and so on, and there are a lot of cuts like this."

I see you've listened to Mr. Lorna. I thought, don't you think I'd use that for something else? And I wondered a little bit.

"You thought I was a little surprised to throw it away now, didn't you?

Is that it? Could it have come out on your face? I thought so and was kind of laughing a little bitterly when I saw Mr. Lorna.

"I've been thinking about how I can't do something with that cut, too, but I've been too busy at work to have much time to think about it. And because I'm dealing with my daughter when I have free time, I only have time to think when I don't have a daughter."

When I heard the story, I thought you were there. But maybe I can't think of it because it seems like I don't have much time to think about it. Well, if I were you, would I be able to make a ribbon that uses a piece of cloth well in the cushion contents, shrubs and joints? I suppose......

"... and in the meantime, I was suddenly a little surprised that Lena was gone."

"In the meantime?... Oh, if you say so"

I didn't know what you were talking about for a moment, but before this, is Mr. Lorna saying that she did leave while Ms. Lorna's daughter came home and we were talking?

"Speaking of which... Well, maybe I can't help it because it's done, but then I thought I'd introduce my daughter and she suddenly disappeared..."

Even so, I felt like I couldn't stay in that space...

"Excuse me for what?

"You don't have to worry about that much, but I wish you would get along because my daughter and I aren't close or old. I just thought so, didn't I?

When I heard what you were saying, I thought maybe I wasn't close to a kid who was close to his age or something? Well, with some exceptions...

"I don't think we can get along, though?

"That's not good since we actually met."

That too, I thought, a girl appeared from the back of the store. It's the girl in between.

"Mother, what's wrong with taking a piece of cloth to the table?

Ms Lorna turned her face to those who spoke.

"Flora, I'm here just in time. Hey, stay here."

With that said, a girl named Flora came near Mr. Rhona with her neck tilted.

Feels like you're a little shorter than me? and the girl was leaning her neck slightly when she discovered me thinking about it.

"What about this girl?

"She's Lena."

"Hi?"

Yes, Mr. Lorna introduced me, but I didn't know what to answer, so I said hello with my neck tilted? did. Then she bowed with a pepper.

"I am, Flora. Well, thank you."

Flora has greeted me that way with a little light. Then he repeated the action of looking at Mr. Flitchy and Rhona and then at me several times. I'm curious that Rhona, who was watching that, looked smiling for some reason... I wonder what you think when you look at us? And that's what I thought.

Then Flora looked over at me and repeated several times that she wanted to talk about something, that she would shut her mouth. Is it possible you're shy? Or don't you know what to talk about? Well, can't you tell me about people yourself...

Looks like she didn't see us like that. Lorna talked to me and hung up.

"You guys, don't stare at each other like that. Speak slowly in the back."

That said, Mr. Lorna was taken to the back room when he grabbed our hand.
