Okami Wa Nemuranai

12

It is the next morning.

It's a nice day, so it's a little cold but I let the table out and got breakfast right next to the garden.

"That's good, this bread"

"It's delicious. You must have freshly baked it."

"Beautiful garden, too."

"Yes, it's a beautiful garden"

"How could that Machel tree have so many branches stretched out on the garden side, but not on the corridor side?

"It's a rootstock."

"Hey, dude?

"We're continuously implanting big stones on the ground, and that's where we stop the roots."

"Hmm?"

"Machel trees, thick branches and thick roots, stretch in the same direction at the same length. You see, the thick roots just beneath the thick branches stretched out on the side of the garden."

"Oh, sure it is"

"If you don't want to stretch the branches, use that trait to root them out."

"Yeah. But I wonder if it's so narrowly planted in the corner"

"It's only the gardener's arm that controls how the branches grow, but it's a little bruised. You're more concerned about the siloxna tree on the left."

"Is that the little tree that stretched those white, thin branches slightly?

"Yes."

"You look beautiful in the green behind you. The shape is also interesting."

"You have no complaints about color contrast. By the way, Shirokizuna is growing fast. In five years, it will be three or four times bigger than it is now."

"Hmm. Isn't that unbalanced in size"

"Yeah. So I'll probably pull through before I grow up. And plant new trees. Overall, this garden is built like that."

"Hmm. I see. By the way, did you sleep well yesterday?

"The bed was comfortable, wasn't it? It's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant sheet."

The elegant aroma of tea flutters and nostrils when the tea is placed in the palm of the hand and the hands are moved loosely. I guess they use fancy tea leaves.

Again, I looked in the garden.

Beautiful garden.

When viewed from where the Lecans are now, they are calculated to show the best contrast.

But I don't have to feel unnatural anywhere.

"Mametsubugusa doesn't like shade, hey. If you plant it in that position, the leaves will be dead in an invisible position."

Mametubugusa is a medicinal herb. It was in Sheila's herb field, and it was in Norma's clinic yard. It is a regarded plant, so I can see how carefully the mametsubugusa in this garden is pruned.

"I wonder if the landscaper who built this garden knew that Shilokizuna was growing fast"

"No way. There's no way a landscaper with all this skill wouldn't know the growth rate of Sirokizuna"

"You knew I couldn't do it."

"This is my idea."

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if anyone here had instructed me to plant these plants in this way"

I see, I thought. And it fell to the fu.

The construction of this garden is in very good harmony with the construction of compartments, buildings and corridors. Instead, the whole thing is made under one design idea. It may be called under a single personality.

(I guess I don't feel comfortable with him)

Recan remembered the trees and grasses in the garden of Norma's clinic in the town of Voca.

It was indeed stretching and branch lobes. The placement was a bit cluttered, but there was something to relieve my mind about its rough planting and thoughtfully stretched branches.

Then I thought about the vegetable fields at the Rock Shelf Pavilion in Raffin. Of those vegetables, how lively they were.

"How was your booze yesterday?

"It was good. The first drink."

"Is it just the first cup?

"Something like that, we'll be together after the second cup"

"Ha"

"Yesterday's meat was good."

"Yeah. That was delicious. The first bite."

"Right."

The two drank tea and set aside a cup that looked expensive.

A quiet time passed for a while.

"Go home."

"Let's go home"

"Manager, thank you for making good arrangements last night"

"This is, Master Arios. Master Lecan is with you. I didn't have to bother to come to the reception, but I came from here. This is the price and appraisal of what you left last night."

Arios gave the appraisal to Lekan.

"Thank you. I stayed at the Jin Ridge Hall for once about exploring the Hundred Tiers and Beyond, but it was a really great inn. I can't complain about the cooking, the hospitality."

"I'm afraid so."

Rekan, who looked at the appraisal, realized that there was.

(Yeah?)

(Depth is not involved.)

(What do you mean?

"By the way, there's no such thing as staying outside of here, is there?

"Of course it is. The inn is just for passengers' flights. No matter how you use it or not, it's at your disposal."

"That's good. We may need to meet at another inn because we need to explore. In that case, do you mind if I don't hear from you in particular?

"Yes, sir."

"If you like it over there, you might stay over there for a while"

"Please do not return whenever you wish to return to our inn. By the way, for your convenience, I'd appreciate it if you could ask me where I was going."

"I'm not sure yet, so I'll contact you the next time I get back here"

"Yes, I did. Well, you're not going."

Are you confident that you must return to Jinling Hall soon, the manager did not pry any further into where Lecan and Arios were going.

After that, the two went to a hundred levels and finished their exploration by fighting only once, returning to the Rock Shelf Pavilion in Raffin.

"There you are... whoa? Arios? And Lecan? What's the matter? You forgot something?

"I'm home now. How long have you been paying for a long stay?"

"Whoa? Wait. Look at the ledger. Until the ninth of the second month."

"Well, I'll extend it forty days for now"

"Whoa?"

"That, well, Arios. Are you back?"

"Yes, I'll take care of you again"

"Neru."

"Yes, Mr. Lecan. What is it?

"For dinner today, ask for plenty of good vegetables"

"Yes, sir. Leave it to me."

"Arios. Rest for seven days from tomorrow."

"Say it again"

"I said it was a seven-day break. Relax body and mind tension. Then we resume our offensive."
