Ordinary I and Extraordinary Them

A moment before the cultural festival ended and we had a full winter.

In the courtyard of Makoto's house, his brothers and sisters sat down with their knees lined up.

The gaze is straight and pointed in the same direction.

Something that can be seen in many other general households, but does not exist in the True House, was spreading in front of them for a limited time.

"Wow!

"Two......"

"You're adorable"

A small, brown, cotton-candy, hair-wrapped dog.

A toy poodle rushes endlessly around the yard of the True House.

It looked unusual to all my brothers and sisters.

No, Magina Nicole, isn't she too cute?

Go around until I'm cute.

Among the toy poodles, the dog's name seems to be "Nico" you who gets the impression that the skeleton is smaller than the dogs in the neighborhood I've seen.

Indeed, I was impressed with the look of sitting down and looking at this one, nicotine and deserving of a name.

Nevertheless, there is a long and spectacular reason if asked why there is a toy poodle in the Makoto house.

A neighbor took a trip.

Yes, this is why.

To explain correctly, it seems that the owners (or owners) of the house, where the children grew up and became two couples, hit a hot spring trip in the mall, opposite the house where the cat was kept.

So I went on a one-night or two-day trip, so I was only supposed to keep it for one day.

While the cultural festival was celebrating, I regretted that I should have participated in the shopping mall when I went to Shizuku.

Maple naturally did not refuse, and I also agreed without any reason to say no because it is a Saturday and Sunday holiday.

But when you have a dog in front of you, you don't know how to deal with it.

This is the fate of having a dog inexperienced...... or scroll through your screen, which you usually don't take advantage of at all, thinking of a suitably good line.

The amount of exercise, the right time for rice.

It's full of things I don't know, and I'm looking into precautions besides the information my owner tells me.

"Wow!"

"Two Two."

Repeated, dog-to-human communication.

Roll the ball in your hand gently, and the look of the maple will break on Nico, who runs to pick it up with a short tail swinging a boom.

This still breaks so much.

... Not bad, huh?

You can take a trip on Monday if you want, but I'll keep it at all.

Easier than a pet hotel and free of charge, that's the True Good House.

But nature and the whole house seemed to change brightly when the garden at home, which was supposed to be quiet, became busy.

It's a life for two, so I forgot about it for a long time.

"Ha... she's cute"

Maple shrugged with his hands on his cheeks as he snorted and zeroed his sigh.

It's totally mellow...

Well, certainly even smaller in relation to the skeleton among the small dogs, and the loving noticeable nose, and the familiarity with it, is that everyone should fall in love.

Nico, who raised his gaze by dropping the ball I was supposed to throw at the foot of the maple next door for some reason, shook his tail to the left and right, not to mention praise.

... bruise you, Nico.

But that's good again.

You don't have to bring it to me because you're cute. I forgive you.

I never regret not bringing it to myself or anything.

I don't think so.

For a while, when the maple strokes his head and stomach, almost watching him walk around the garden appropriately to see if he was satisfied, he growls from next door small.

"Was your brother also any good?

"... nothing good"

Think of it and remember if anything good has happened lately.

No, it's over.

Still, thinking of some thoughtful verse, Maple goes on to open his mouth.

"Do you think my brother up to the Cultural Festival came up with a little... I felt like I couldn't, but that's not happening right now"

I was convinced as I watched Nico run around looking happy a little further.

Sure, there was a change.

But is it because my family is the only one who has noticed minor changes?

Or is my sister's observational eye excellent?

Either way, I took a pale word for the maple waiting for the answer.

"It took the load of my heart... well, it could be temporary"

It is true that the words Shizukuta said on the roof lightened the burden on my heart.

Maybe it's an advance, but at that time when I was in a hurry for myself not to make a change, affirming that I was immutable might be what Maple says is a good thing.

"I'm not asking you to talk to me because I'm a brother and sister...... that would be enough if your brother could just stay the way he normally is"

The maple, smiling and telling him, leans against his arm to fill in the time between them that was about empty for each person.

Through the clothes, a slight warmth is transmitted to the arms, which leaks a breath of relief.

"If you do, please."

"Yes, leave it to me"

Smile, stroking her smiling sister's head and gazing forward.

It's a casual routine, but I guess I could make time for conversation without intent with my sister, thanks to the presence of you in my home in front of me, Nico.

So I'll give you a jerky for a snack.

I don't have any such evil intentions because I want you to miss me.

If so, no.

This day became a day spent alone in conversation with my brothers and sisters without any other love.

I thought you were a self-proclaimed cat person, but dogs aren't bad either.

It's visibly sweet, and it's more fun to treat it from here than from here that it responds well.

But it will not be forgotten that I ran over to my sister on her last day of parting.
