Because of this, I dropped the blueberry jam that was made into brewed tea and mixed it into blueberry tea. Slightly loose mouth corners on a fluffy, spreading sweet and sour aroma. I think making tea is also an extraordinary improvement over the old days.

I gave it to Uncle Alan and Rinse and they both told me it was delicious and drank it.

The air that was tingling somewhere on the subject of Reis also wobbled with the warm hot air and I feel a little soothed.

"Nevertheless, I can't believe it's tomorrow morning that we're leaving. I knew it was too steep. I'm not ready to send you out in time."

"You don't have to, it's"

"No, at least something else..."

The rinse, with the cup in one hand and her mouth pointy with dissatisfaction, groans "Ah" there.

And I took something out of the bag that I had beside me and put it on my desk with Cottori.

"What, this?

It was a crate with a lid, slightly larger than my palm.

It also has a gold clasp and careful woodworking. The surface of the lid is engraved to mimic the "bell" tangled in the lid. With the delicate construction even amateurs can tell, I wonder if this is one of the fairly skilled craftsmen.

"This is a trendy item in the Wang Dynasty called the Spirit Crate."

"The Spirit Crate?

"With the permission of the Church, a popular spiritual user and woodworker in the King's Capital has carved" Holy Bells of the Spirit Queen "in boxes one at a time. If you put your precious things in this, you get the blessing of the Spirit and luck comes, and it seems to be very popular among young people in the King's Capital right now. It's a hard substitute to get, but your brother got it for my souvenir."

"Heh... that's a lovely sculpture indeed"

"Isn't that right? I'll put in some thoughtful accessories and some of my favorite ribbons if I fold them up. I wasn't really planning on stopping by Sue's house, so I left that in my bag to show off to my other friends... I'll give it to you, Sue."

"Huh!?

I open my eyes with surprise.

Uncle Alan said, "Ho, that's the daughter of the Rottrea family. You're fat," he admires, "but he can't easily take it after hearing such an explanation. If you ask me, in the Wang capital, noble daughters treat expensive jewels, etc. and store gifts from lovers among men, they are widely used. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to use it that fashionably.

If I tried to say no instantly, Rinse pushed it forward to me first.

"Isn't that a perfect farewell to Princess Spirit? Take the amulet instead."

"But even though it's what your brother gave Linth. I'm sorry. I don't really think of anything I want to put in..."

"It's okay, if you say that your brother gave it to his best friend Sue too, you'll be convinced. You can usually put it in a small bag, so just get a box for now."

"This is what I give you for free, right?" And when I am awesome, I have to take it. Just as when he was urged to push the ribbon and stop crying, he loses the strength of the rinse.

Gratefully in hand, she caught a bright red riding lip and smiled contentedly.

If you observe it nearby, the box is truly first-class.

Actually, it just doesn't look like the two of us sitting in front of each other, and Wal, who's been lying there the whole time, is looking seriously at the box in my hand. Fluffy shaking her watery hair, she was zeroing, "I wonder if the pie of wood will go in," but stop it. Because it rots.

"Well, then it's time for you to spare time"

Put down the empty cup and Uncle Alan stands still. Sounds like we've been talking for a long time. My mothers will be back soon.

Clean up, etc. Later, I decide to drop off the two of you walking out the door.

The sky is starting to turn blue, with cool winds like autumn evening. The laughter that crosses into the wind and caresses his ears slightly may have flowed the voices of the wind spirits. I hear they like rumors a lot.

Linth, who said there was a place to stop after this, said, "Good luck!" He left only one last word of encouragement and left in a hurry with a fast foot.

Trying to follow that, staring at Uncle Alan's wide back, he stopped and looked back at this one.

"Hey, Sulia. I wasn't sure if I should say this, I didn't say it earlier, but I knew I wouldn't tell you."

"... what is it"

"Because it's about Reis, and it's what I felt. That's not a big deal."

Yes, foreshadowing, Uncle Alan scratches his short, cut hair. I silently urged it to continue.

"... the guy who came to me didn't have a 'conversation' with me, he was just going to say hello and report on one side and go home. I'm just saying there's nothing more to be done here, with an emotionally deficient attitude. He was a cute little boy, not related to the word" love "from the beginning... but still, I wonder what. I don't know if I can do it or not, but it seems to me then. I stopped him when he left."

"Stop calling, what's wrong?

"No, I said what I came up with in momentum because I was really aggressive." Protect him properly about Sulia! '. Then... "

You look really nasty, and you say, 'To the extent of your obligations'?

Such a cynical and humbling return came to mind, but it was something completely different from what I expected that fell zero out of the gap in Uncle Alan's mouth.

"Reyce is going to lose out on the wings of the little bird, with a small, plundering voice. But the voice alone can see the strong will, at that rate, '... I know that,' and that's all I got back. You look so spicy that you can stand the pain."

"... Reis?

"Oh. That exchange was the only 'conversation' you had with your 'son', whom we met a long time ago"

all the while your uncle's empty laughter melts into the twilight scenery and disappears.

"This is my idea, but he's holding something big, by himself. I probably don't know what that is.... I was wondering what I was going to do with Sulia. Still, I'm like his parents. I'm worried about Reis, and I'm gonna put some of it in my shoulder. Sorry about the weird stuff, Sulia."

"... no"

Shaking his neck loosely to the side, your uncle made a small grin and lowered his head, and now it was time to turn away from me.

I'm left with some itchy, elusive complexity.

Laying Reis eyes on the falling sunset red, he opened the door for a while and stood there.
