In the living room of Shizukuishi's departed True House, Maple looked dissatisfied.
"You're wrong that you suddenly made out without explaining to your brother"
"... because that guy is going to do it"
What came to mind was the face of a father who hadn't faced each other for nearly six months.
Bad enough, I was born like my father, and he never had any expectations or interest.
Because he himself was aware that there were things that could not be changed by effort, as he was once.
So I didn't expect too much from me either, I just kept having the minimum expectations I needed.
Nothing, I'm not saying I don't like such a father.
I, too, would have been harder to have had excessive expectations compared to a well-made sister.
So I don't care.
I have gratitude for raising me as one son and love as a family, but I have no respect.
Nor would that man want to be respected by his son.
Nevertheless, it is true that we are baffled by too sudden news.
Neither I nor Maple have been able to accept the reality that has been poked at.
"I thought it was a pageant or an event a long time ago."
"Brother, let's say no, shall we?
That's what Maple, sitting next to me, told me to take my hand.
From a forcefully gripped hand, a slight tremor is transmitted.
"... I'm going to say no first, but I don't know how far the conversation is going"
Honestly, I'm not interested.
Suddenly they say it's a pageant, and there will be fewer people in this time to accept "yes, I get it".
I'm one of them.
But first, I need to hear about how this story came out and the disagreement between my mother and my father before I get out. I'm short of information to figure out the situation.
Now, all I can do is put my mother in touch and get rid of the work that's left around me.
"Maple...... coming out a little"
"Uh, yes... ok"
"It's okay, I'll be right back"
A stroke of the maple's head that darkened his expression anxiously prepares him to go out.
Even so, it's easy enough to get dressed and hold a smartphone, a purse.
Head to a person's house using the back roads of the neighborhood, which is not the way you usually go to school.
When I pressed the intercom of a whole house I had arrived on foot long enough, I heard the other person through the opportunity.
'Yes, which is it?
It's me, Yudo.
Neighbors, Ohara in trouble, Yudo the Smile Maker, Yudo the Female Killer.
Heading to Yudo Ohara's house, which has numerous aliases, he begins to talk to the public in front of the house.
"What's the matter? It's unusual. I can't believe you came to my house."
I'm having a little more trouble.
When I cut it out like that, I only tell them the gist.
The sudden call from my father, the fact that he was out talking about the pageant, that it is due to take place in the near future.
Explaining that, Yudo just as well changes his expression as he was surprised.
"You... you have someone to make out with."
"Hey... don't be rude... I'm still worried that you might get quite an older crowd"
Other than that, Yudo, who uttered a word to the end of that word, laughs and turns into a thoughtful face when it is a joke.
Yudo seemed to have more or less predicted why I came here in front of him, who was also helping him with the Shiraishi case.
"You're here to talk about Mr. Shiraishi because you might not be able to move on a house errand, right?
"Speaks fast and helpful"
If Shiraishi calls me while I'm in trouble at home, it's likely I can't handle it.
At that time, I want to leave the temporary response to Yudo.
You can't do Shizukuishi or Kirasaka.
Those two aren't compatible with White Stone.
Shizukuisha has something to shy away from, and Kirosaka is not shy the other way around.
Yudo has the flexibility to associate with Shiraishi, who anticipates the flow of the conversation.
"I also know Yudo is talking about Shiraishi, so as to omit him, he has three options to choose from."
"One sticks to becoming chairman, the other is the executive committee's proposal... other than that?
"Both try to make it happen"
When I hear the third option, Yudo also smiles bitterly.
"To the boulder... isn't that it?
"Well... we're only talking about possibilities"
Even small possibilities were cited as more examples than came to mind.
You should settle down with one of the two proposals of your fate, but I have an objection in mind for when you say you want both to come true.
Therefore, I told Yudo that I wanted him to contact Shiraishi about the two proposals of his fate.
"I don't mind if I contact you... shouldn't I be contacting you?
"... you think I can exchanging emails well with girls?
"You can't."
Instant answer.
Yudo told me he was clear.
And when I smile, I nod and show it.
"Okay, I'll get in touch with Mr. Shiraishi from my side... Anything else?
"I'll get in touch with you when I know when I'm gonna be in trouble for the house too... if I can, I want to hear what White Stone thinks before I do"
I don't have the ability to handle problems all the time, even in a brain with low tolerance.
Besides, it would be more desirable for me to be able to come to trouble without having any extra thoughts.
When Yudo said he understood, he questioned him worryingly.
"Does Kanzaki-san know... that we're talking about a pageant"
"Oh...... I just talked to you. I just got home from work."
"Well... that's fine"
Were you worried that you were keeping it a secret from Shizuku, Yudo zeroes his breath of relief.
At the end of the day, I exchanged goodbye greetings and said I was waiting to hear from Yudo.
"Really... did Kanzaki-san even go to Kirasaka-san's house?
When I dropped him off until he was completely blind to his friend's back, Yudo muttered like he was talking to himself.
Leaving behind words erased by the living sounds of residential neighborhoods, OK! And he exhaled so that he could fulfill every request from his best friend to contact his junior.
