Since getting up in the morning, Ash Zheng remembers the story of the head surgery that Junko said yesterday.

"Grandpa, you're unusually cheerful, aren't you?"

Huh? Really?

In the morning, the ashes of the melancholy face in front of the cabin were right, and Mt. Masayama called out.

Is something wrong?

"Yeah... it looks like I'm sick and I'm told I should have the surgery after the examination."

Last night, Kurosuke told me that there was a possibility of illness, and because of that, when it was dawn overnight, I thought that I was completely ill with my head.

"What's wrong with you...?"

"I don't know. But I was told it was a surgery to cut my head open and poke my brains out, so I was scared and scared..."

"Is that true?"

Ashiyama smiled bitterly at the ashes that were rampaging the image on their own.

"I don't know if you have the money to operate, but if you can, you can do it."

"Um, yeah..."

Masayama also recommended surgery, so Ashimasa nods hesitantly. I hate to be scared of correcting ashes, but I can't help but decide whether you are right because everyone tells him to do the surgery.

As Masanori and Ashiyama were talking, a strange pair appeared before them.

One of them is a woman in a suit with a great habit of hair, who is thought to be around her thirties. The other was a boy who was united in black clothes, wearing a black horn and a black hat with a black visor, and who seemed to be an elementary school student.

"Ah, look, look, Takeda-san." He's just like me. He looks like a grandfather. "

The child points to the ashes and raises the bouncing voice.

"I don't know why I'm saying this."

The woman said it with a more annoying expression. The two of them approached Masanori and Mt. Ashiyama. The woman's name is Kasumi Takeda. The boy's name is Mitsuo Sakurai. The two are detectives in the backstreet section of the ease police station.

"Ah, today was Gellopy's dinner day." I'll go there a little bit. "

Before Kanae and Mitsuo came, Ash Zheng left and entered the cabin.

Hmm?

As the approaching Kanae and Mitsuo stopped in front of him, Mt. Masayama raised a strange voice.

“Can I help you? Which one is it?"

When the homeless Ashiyama asks, Kanae silently shows the police notebook.

"Can't you just listen to me?" He's a disrespectful Poly Duke. "

Ashiyama throws it up. In addition to not having a good impression of the police in the first place, Kasumi's behavior made me feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, I'm sorry, officer. Yes."

"Huh, this is a cute lady."

When Mitsuo apologizes, Mt. Asama breaks his mouth.

"You don't have to believe me, but this guy is really a cop, and even if he looks like an elementary school student, he's an adult."

Almost twenty-six years old

"Seriously..."

Masayama was stunned by the explanation of Kasumi and Mitsuo who was shouting happily.

"There are reports of murderers being caught in this riverbank, thieves being caught, homeless people being badly beaten, PTAs and rampages, dolphins calling out indiscriminate terms, backstreet residents coming and going, and there are many things that smell like kina, so please check with us in the backstreet section." If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't have it, you don't have to tell me. "

Kanae speaks lightly. The way he spoke also hindered Mt. Asamayama's conversation.

"I've never heard of people coming and going in the back streets. Except for the homeless murderer the other day, he's a suspicious guy... oh, that dolphin may be suspicious, but it's been for a long time."

Ah, thank you for your help.

Kasumi says thank you with a gesture that she is not thankful at all.

Well, let's go home. It's fine if there's nothing abnormal about it.

"Wait, Takeda-san. I'm a little curious. It's my instinct, but the old man who was a little bald just now

A photographer who points to a cabin where ashes entered.

Do you intuitively want to increase your extra work?

"At first sight, I understood. She's with me."

You mean virgin? If so, you're a great wizard who manipulates the movement of objects by age.

"Chi-chi." Like me, my head is like a child. I can see it in my eyes and on my face. "

I wonder if he's an intellectual handicapped grandfather.

"Oh, I think Ashigaru-san has a disability. Behavior is always childish, but it doesn't feel that heavy. I can talk normally."

Hearing Kanae and Mitsuo's conversation, Asayama speaks out.

“So only one of you is hubbubbed away like that?

Mesmerizing Kanae.

"Some people are depressed and hate it." But he's always bright, energetic, and he's a good man. I like that old man. I feel like I can get strength when I talk to you. Some of them think the same, so some of them are just waiting to see how things are going. "

It's not just a beggar, but a lot of other guests, right?

"Oh, it's been a long time. I don't know the details either. Some people are creepy that Ashimasa-san has a lot of guests these days. Besides, I'm just a kid. On the contrary, I'm relieved that my child misses me.

"That's the trouble with PTA."

Kanae listens to the story of Mt. Masayama and is convinced.

"Well, it's a little dirty to blow a whistle in Hermeln, so your mother must have been anxious." That's why I came to complain yesterday. "

"That's not good for education, is it?" When I became a beggar, I lost as a person, so no mother would want to get along with that kind of thing. "

"You can't say that." It's not like I liked it that way. "

Hikaru scolds Kanae, who is straightforwardly ranting.

"Thank you, I'm sorry, but that woman is very uncomfortable, so go away." I don't want to talk about it. "

Ah, thank you for your help.

"Uncle, I'm sorry."

Masayama waved his hand, Kasumi thanked him in a cold tone without any shards of gratitude, and Mitsuo bowed his head and apologized.

Kanae knocks on the cabin door.

Yes, who is it?

Haha!?

The door opened, and ashes with worms in his hand came out with a smile, Kasumi spoke in a raised voice.

"I'm sorry, I was just about to feed the geropie. I was wondering what kind of dinner I'd give you today, but I thought I'd turn it into a worm."

Gellopy?

The ash that explains with a smile is exactly what Light Man asks.

"It's my friend."

Ashes refer to the cage inside the shed. In the cage, a frog was flipping over.

"Yes, go ahead, Geropie. You're sleeping weird today."

Ash righteousness puts a hand holding a worm in the cage and pulls the worm around his mouth, but the frog does not react.

"Huh? What's wrong, Gellopy?" I always eat with great joy right away. "

"I mean, a frog is flipping over and sleeping, that's..."

The strange ashes are exactly what Kanae says and stutters.

"Geropie, what's wrong? Hey...... Ghelopi...... no way......"

The positive face of the ash is strong, and I poked my finger at the gellopy, holding it in my hand and shaking it. There was no reaction whatsoever.

”Uu... uuuuuu... ahhhhh!”

And he acknowledged the death of the geropie, and the ashes cried as if they were on fire.

"Ghelopy... Ghelopy is dead!" Woahhhhhhh!

Ash righteousness that keeps crying without body or world.

"Poor old man."

A man of light who is tears of sympathy.

"I don't think anyone's ever had a pet, but a pet is like a family." If you die, you cry. even I..... "

When I was a child, I had a hamster and then a mackerel. After the death of the hamster, he kept the camel as if to heal his sadness. After the mackerel died, he kept nothing. Because I have doubts about the act of healing and forgetting the sadness and pain of death with another life.

After that, it was the ashes that were crying for a while, but then she stood up quietly and gently took out the body of Geropy from inside the gauge and went out of the hut.

"This grandfather doesn't seem particularly poisonous." But I'm worried about the people who are wandering around. "

Junko appeared on the riverbed when Kanae muttered as she watched Geropy buried in the tomb.

Huh? Why are you guys here?

Junko calls out. I feel uneasy because the backstreet police are here.

What, you were a backstreet resident, Junko?

The light man rounds his eyes.

I came to investigate because there were reports of small incidents around my grandfather, and even people in the back streets were involved.

I see.

Junko asks about the situation from Kanae, and Junko decides that it is not a particularly bad reason.

(The backstreets may be me, but I'm not the only backstreets that are actually moving. I'm sure that's.....)

Junko remembers the kabadi man she met yesterday on the dirt road.

"When I found out that you were moving, I felt that the sign of not moving had intensified all of a sudden." What are you up to? Hurry up and shut up. "

Kasumi urges her in a high-pressure tone.

"There's no such thing as plotting." What's the matter, Ashish-san? "

Even if Junko comes, Junko looks at the ash that digs the hole without reacting at all.

"My pet frog died, and I was crying until a while ago. Now you should just leave it alone."

I see.

Kanae explains the situation.

Junko, who was coming to touch the operation of the head, saw the ashes depressed by the death of Geropie, decided to change the day, and left silently without speaking any more.
