Next morning.
Just when the Ataru and the others finished their breakfast at the inn, Hilda arrived.
"Ho, ho, looks like you came at the right time. I'm going to leave soon, but are you ready?
Hilda asks questions looking at a slightly stiff caro.
I don't particularly need any luggage. Are you just ready for your heart? That was the question.
Atal decides to wait for Caro's answer, without saying anything.
Maybe we're close to an answer.
In such a situation, it was because he decided it was Caro's role to give him the final decision as to whether he should or should not meet.
"... it's okay. Please guide me."
Even with a little hesitation, Caro looked Hilda in the eye and said so, holding on tight and with a serious look.
While yesterday, Caro was keeping his mind organized.
If, as his own father, he seems to be in trouble, he intends to pull back immediately.
If you were not your own father, you would not be depressed because this is one of the possibilities.
If you weren't your own father, whatever the answer is if that's what you know where your father is, take it.
I was ready for that.
"Uh-huh, you look good. Then let me show you around. I told him I was taking people there in advance, so he should be able to see me soon. I didn't tell you what to do, so explain it to me."
"Thank you for your concern"
If you give extra information first, it confuses them. More importantly, it was Hilda's idea that it was best for the person in question to give an explanation.
And when he received the thought, Caro bowed his head deeply and thanked him.
To the extent that Hilda explained a little about the city on the road, the others were quiet.
Though Caro decided to be ready, he still has a dark color of tension and doesn't feel like wanting a light mouth.
Atal cares about such a caro, and Balkias and Ifria read the air and pierce the silence.
I walked about fifteen minutes in time and Hilda stopped.
It was a shopping mall.
"I'm going to do a little shopping here. It would be better if there were some kind of souvenir. Just give me a minute."
"Um, me too!
Let's buy Caro something too, I thought so, but that can be stopped by Hilda shaking her neck sideways.
"Yeah, bye. You need to focus on what happened when you met him. Souvenirs are like when I meet someone. Don't worry about them."
With that said, Hilda left the Atals behind and went into the mall.
……
Such a back. Caro drops off with complicated feelings as she hands on her chest.
I'd rather have something for myself, too, than meet and talk about what. That kind of thing runs around my head.
"Caro."
Atal put his hand on her shoulder like that.
"You made up your mind yesterday, didn't you? Then I can't help but think about it now. Whatever happens, don't worry, we're on Caro's side. - I mean, you've been like that since we met until today, haven't you?
"Dear Atal..."
Seeing Atal laughing so gently, Caro regains a little smile.
"It's okay! I'll protect Carol no matter what happens because she's our family!
"Hmm, family? It's a good expression. '
Ifria, who flew to flutter and swirl with Balkias, who leaned over at Caro's feet, also speaks out to speak out Caro.
Their presence was the backing of Caro's strong heart.
"Yeah, thanks! Something calmed me down a little!
Caro regained his usual cheerful smile and when he was chatting, Hilda eventually came back with a souvenir in her hands.
"Oh, hey, you look good. Let's go then."
When Hilda feels Caro's mood change and laughs nicely, she leads for purpose again.
Walking again, I arrived at my destination in fifteen minutes.
"Right here."
It was one collective dwelling. It's called an apartment or apartment on Earth.
"Here..."
Caro shrugged and took a breath of relief.
"Come on, let's go see him. It's definitely upstairs."
Sure, but not lost in Hilda's steps, he goes straight to the room for that purpose.
Hilda knocks with a ton when she arrives. And then a voice returned from inside and the door opened.
From beyond the door that opened with the sound of gachari, the beast man shows his face.
He is a rabbit beast man as he assumed, and when he sees that face, Caro has a hazy face.
I didn't know for sure who it was, but Caro looked familiar to that face.
"Um, are you the customer that I have business with?
The man who answered with a gentle voice was probably a rabbit beast man man in his late thirties to forties.
He had a scratch on his left eyelid and seemed completely blind.
Instead of a tough look like a warrior, he looks at the attals with a smiling gentle face.
"Oh, yeah. I brought you some souvenirs too, so can I talk to you inside?
"Yeah, I don't mind."
But as far as his reaction goes, he doesn't seem to remember Caro, welcoming the Atals into the room in a natural way.
"-Caro, do you recognize him?
Caro nodded silently at Atal's question, which lurked his voice.
I don't know who it is. But it looks familiar.
It was such an ambiguous feeling that if he asked me if I was a father, if he asked me if I was not a father, I might be - and I had to answer that.
"Anyway, let's go inside"
Pushed back by Atal's words, Caro nods silently again and walks into the room.
