Monster no Goshujin-sama
36. Don't Notice Me
36 - Kato Makita Perspective
After spending some time in the room, Mr. Cass left, albeit with a little residue.
Mr. Lily, who escorted her to the front door, returns to his room.
"What's wrong, Mr. Kato? Thinking?"
Speaking, I realized that I was thinking with a wrinkle between my brows.
Why not?
Something caught my mind.
The cause was Mr. Cass's story earlier.
I felt uncomfortable with my thoughts.
But I don't know what's wrong.
- He became a dragon himself, not a person who could be a dragon figure.
- He who became the beast itself, not the man who could be the beast.
- A common denominator that someone else capable of becoming something is no longer human.
- I thought that might be a change that could be difficult to avoid in my ability to change myself.
It's a conjecture that anyone like this can come up with, in other words, it can be called a natural idea.
Yet somehow this discomfort doesn't go away.
It doesn't stick.
I still feel bad as if I even hooked a fish bone in the back of my throat.
This, yes.
It's as if we haven't reached the conclusion that we should have...
Not thinking enough?
Or, hey, I unconsciously avoid thinking - ….
"Mr. Kato?
"Ah."
To the call, I returned.
Lily with a worried face.
I shouldn't.
Also, he seemed depressed.
"No. Nothing"
With an ambiguous grin, I returned.
Because this discomfort was too vague, and I didn't know how to explain it.
In the first place, this is just too much thought, it could just be a mistake.
Thinking about it, I worried about Mr. Lily, and I felt bad.
"Excuse me. Hey, I was just confused"
Change your mind and give back the dust.
"Really? Well, that's fine."
Lily, who crossed the room, laid her back on the bed.
"But if there's anything I can do, I think we should talk about it."
They say cheerful words as they spread the book over their knees.
"Even though, I'm the type to hold you in"
……
"Look. Even if we can't come to a conclusion, we can worry about you together, and sometimes that makes you feel easier, right?
"... thank you"
I was able to return a somewhat more natural smile than I had just done.
"But it's really okay. I was just a little lost in the idea."
"Mm-hmm. That's fine, then."
Convinced, Mr. Lily began to follow the letter of the book.
……
I stared down at the side of it.
I kind of missed my interaction with Lily earlier.
I also saw that look with my eyes dropped on the book, worn by someone I miss.
I had the feeling that...
No. That could have been something I've been feeling for a long time.
- For example, that I occasionally start reading books in this way.
From one point on, all of a sudden, Mr. Lily began to learn the letters enthusiastically.
- Or a conversation I had with Mr. Cass earlier today at noon.
As I recall, Miscellaneous put his face to the conversation.
Such casual behavior inspired memories that were never within reach again.
... Of course, I don't know the truth.
I guess I'll have to wait for the day when she speaks the truth one day.
In conclusion so, I removed my gaze from Mr. Lilli.
So I got my sight of Robbie sitting perfectly on the floor.
"What are you doing, Robbie?"
She was searching through the luggage bags she had placed between her legs.
"Hey, genuine vegetables. Where did you do the telescope?
I can't find what you're looking for.
This kind of thing happened all the time.
We can be surprisingly large baggage.
There are so many people that there will be more travel essentials in the first place, and that Mr. Rose is making a lot of things.
If it's true, it's hard enough to carry around, but it was cleared there by using a magic toolbag.
The magic tool bag has a conservation effect, such as food, as well as reducing the weight of the items put inside itself, as a result of space expansion.
The only thing is, if there's a flaw, it's about very expensive because it's a magic tool, and so it's normal for pedestrians to move large baggage all over the car.
But we have Mr. Rose.
Though it would take a lot of time to make one, it was possible to own multiple magic tool bags that would not normally be available.
In addition, this magic tool bag, if you have a few, can also be put in a different bag, making it very convenient for storage.
Recently, it was found that, if disposable, some of the processes were omitted and the time taken to complete was greatly reduced, and food and the like were to be stored in this simplified formula over several days at a time.
It was just that there was nothing I could do to make it harder to figure out where and what was there, whatever my stuff was, than more luggage.
Robbie has asked for help with her troubled face because I, who is beside Mr. Rose and has many opportunities to touch a large amount of production, have been grasping the luggage these days.
"Well, if it's an astral telescope made by Mr. Rose, it's in this bag."
"Oh! Thanks, Vegetables"
Looking for you, Robbie thanked you and received the telescope.
I ask, soothing in the appearance of joy.
"But why were you looking for a telescope?
"Tomorrow, when I go hunting, I'm going to take it. It would be convenient if it did, wouldn't it?
I see, in tomorrow's hunt.
So I was strangely happy.
Apparently, Robbie, too, was looking forward to tomorrow.
That's a big deal, but the idea of using a telescope might as well be reconsidered a bit.
"If you're hunting in the woods outside, you can't use a telescope because it's foggy and has bad prospects."
"... ah"
Telescopes are a handy tool but not a good place.
"Oh well..."
"It's just a corner, so maybe it's a good idea to show Mr. Cass the telescope"
To her disappointed, I suggested.
"You might be surprised. Because not many people in this world have ever touched a telescope. He said he had never used it before."
"Oh. Mr. Silan did that?
And Mr. Rose made a strange voice.
This is the topic of my tools. If you'd listened, you'd remember.
I'm often with you. I guess I knew and wondered what I didn't.
"See. On my way to Akel, just before I entered the Kittles Mountains, there was a little incident that was a pioneering village I stopped by, and Kay would have been shocked, right? Lily and the others were bringing out the telescope that night."
"Oh... speaking of which, you had it. That's what happened."
You remembered, Mr. Rose nodded.
"I was studying magic a little further away with my predecessors and Mr. Silan. That's when I heard what Mr. Silan was saying."
Mr. Rose was with the Lillies, so he wasn't listening to Mr. Silan.
"Mr. Cass, too, has lived for quite some years. So I can't be sure...... I was pulling into a cage like this, and I think it's more than likely I've never touched it. It's not what you normally live in and need, and for a moment, you may not know the very existence of a telescope. Why don't you show it to me?
"... Indeed. If you didn't know, you'd be surprised."
Robbia nodded and turned to Mr. Rose.
"Rose's made it, they're all amazing. Yeah, you'd be surprised."
"Really?
Turning to her honest words of praise, Mr. Rose created a mouth-friendly grin.
Throughout this visit to the interior, these two distances may have also narrowed.
"But in terms of this, as long as you know the structure, it's not that hard to make. If you prepare the lenses and learn how to make them properly, you will be able to make them in Robbia, apart from what you can do."
"Is that true!?
Robbie turned her eyes round.
She's very honest with you about these emotional expressions.
I myself like children, but watch and soothe them.
Robbie turned to me when she noticed me creeping.
"Mm-hmm. What is it, genuine vegetables? You don't laugh."
"Oh, no. I didn't make fun of anything I didn't know."
The reaction was just smiling, but they seem to have misunderstood me.
To Robbia, with her lips pointy, I eloquence.
"I was with Robbie, too, because I didn't know how to make my own telescope. Senior Mashima said something similar."
Earlier, I remembered the interaction with my senior, which was on the same night because of what I told you about Mr. Silan.
- You can make telescopes.
- Looks like the multiplier's no big deal.
It's an exchange without other love.
But it must also be one of those memories that warms these breasts.
I realize that a smile will come to my mouth.
... because he was having such a warm time, the inquiry may have sounded in the room with this air scratching discord.
"What did your husband say?
Mr. Lily was looking this way.
"What did your husband say?
He looked terribly surprised, as if he'd even heard a strange story.
"Uh..."
I wonder what's going on, but it's not like I'm hiding anything in particular.
I answered honestly.
"Things like 'You can make telescopes'..."
Until the end, I couldn't say enough.
It sounded like a buckwheat.
Mr. Lily was standing up.
On the floor at your feet, a book you're supposed to cherish falls open.
But it didn't look like I noticed anything like that, and Mr. Lily came here.
They grabbed my shoulders.
"Really? Really, that's what you were saying?
It was a terribly serious voice color.
Even the expression "impatient" is not too much to say.
"Yes. Yes, but...?
"Sister Lily, what's wrong?
You just thought things were strange, and Mr. Rose asked in such a tone as to flatter you.
Robbie is also showing confusion.
Mr. Lilli didn't seem to notice all of it, and cursorily dropped his gaze.
"... Impossible"
The puffy, leaky twink was like a drop of ink dropped on a white cloth.
The warm air is dyed to a different color.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who remembered the chills on my spine.
"Didn't you think Vegetables was weird?
"Hey, what is it? Or what? Minnaka?"
"Because to the observation of the starry sky that was the school...... no. Yes, Fukatsu-kun said. The real vegetable..."
Bumps and crushes.
I could see you thinking brilliantly.
After a while, Mr. Lily raised her eyes.
No. Is she really 'Mr. Lily'?
I felt the doubts I had had so far turned into certainty.
"Mizushima, seniors...?
"Listen carefully, Vegetables"
My words were not denied.
But for a moment, maybe she didn't deny my word because it wasn't right now, rather than because it poked the truth.
"Right after high school, at the last freshman event in April, you remember something called a star observation group?
Instead of a reunion greeting, his closest predecessor, who was never supposed to see him again, threw a strange question at me.
"Yes. I didn't go..."
"I know. Because Fukutsu-kun said so."
"Fukutsu-kun?
I don't know why Mr. Sadias' companion, his name, comes out here... but apparently Senior Mizushima - in this case, Mr. Lily - had heard from him that I wasn't in the observation of the starry sky.
"Vegetables, they weren't at that event. That's why you didn't notice."
With my shoulders grabbed, Senior Mizushima continued.
"I'm a real vegetable. When I was a freshman, I took part in that event. There are about thirty other participants, for example... right. Mr. Boom, who was famous for his two names" The Dark Beast, "was also in on it. The first time Iino and I met each other was when she introduced me to her best friend, Mr. Hoon."
"Yes... what is it?
"Yeah. And Mashima-kun was in on that event, too, with Taki-kun"
……
I couldn't read the story.
Indeed, what Senior Mizushima was saying, at least, was all I did not know.
But I don't know what it means to go out of my way to talk about what happened a little over a year and a half ago.
... No.
Or do you think this is because there's still something I don't know...?
"All right, Nanaka?"
Senior Mizushima peered into my face.
He had an icy voice.
"We built a handmade telescope at that event."
――
For a moment, all the time came to pass.
No matter, it's an illusion.
Reality doesn't come together.
"For that, I even went out of my way to buy magnifying glasses. Enrolled in high school, a quick event. Even it's just impressive, and in the first place, it's not even been two years. But it doesn't matter what you think of the word 'telescope' coming from Mashima-kun's mouth."
Senior Mizushima, who finished speaking, slowly left me.
I am the only one left of the time that has flown out.
Remaining rigid, one event was remembered in the back of his brain.
When I talked to Iino one day in Kawahara, I looked at the telescope that Rose had made and she said 'I miss you'.
He said he had done astronomical observations together before when his best friend, Mr. Hoon, pushed him to do something handmade.
It must have been about what Mr. Boom made at that school event.
"hey... why"
Hardly did I spin the doubt.
"As Senior Mizushima put it, it's certainly strange. But then Senior Mashima looked like he really didn't know. Oh, no, it's like..."
Like I caught it in the back of my throat, words don't come out sticky.
But I can't stop thinking.
Earlier, what were you unconsciously trying not to think about?
I finally understood it.
The 'he' that it was easier to look like a dragon would have lost the human feeling.
There would have been no human intelligence left in "He", who had become a madman.
Although vectors are different, they both lose their humanity somehow.
I thought that was the kind of change that could happen specifically to my ability to change things.
But what about the seniors?
Previously, the senior was pointed out by Mr. Silan.
The soul is slowly becoming less human.
Whatever the difference between flesh and soul, having the ability to accompany one's own change remains the same even for Senior Mashima.
And in fact, seniors didn't remember things they wouldn't normally forget.
That means you didn't just forget.
... I have to make sure.
What's happening to the seniors?
We turned to our predecessors.
