Rakugo in Another World

My friend forever (2)

Then, summarizing what Racca heard about Len, this is what happened.

When Len was playing with the kids in the neighboring town, he started talking about what triggered the town's pride.

The kid from the next town says.

"There's an old famous ghost in my town called" Twilight Salaam. "At dusk, Salaine sings!Well, I don't know what time it is at dusk...What do you say, Len? There's no such famous ghost in your town, is there?

When they say so, they buy words for selling.Len became angry and objected.

Heh, there are ghosts in my town too.

"What is it? Then give me your name."

Len opens her chest and speaks with confidence.

"Ah, there's the Evening Bard in my town."

It was the name of a ghost given to me by my dead father.There was a "evening bard" in the town where Ren lived, and there were ghosts who played lute while staying in the rain on the evening falling day.

But the children in the next town laugh at Len.

"The Evening Bard"?I've never heard of such a ghost.You're lying!

Ren shakes his head desperately.

"It's not a lie!My dead father taught me!

"Hmm. Then your father is a liar too.A lying child is a liar!

"Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!

Children are sometimes cruel."Liar! You're a liar!"And she also stood up and pointed at her fingers and laughed.

"Say something bad about Daddy... ahhhh!!

Len grabbed her face bright red in anger, but many were so powerless that she was beaten up.

And then, when I went home crying, I ran into a racket.

"Really... is that what happened?"

Racca murmured as she sprayed dirt and dirt on Len's clothes.

--No, it's a child fight... but he's doing terrible things.This guy could be a grown-up.

When Racca dropped her sharp gaze on the ground thinking of the noise, Len spoke with tears.

"Hey, Uncle Luca...."

"Hmm? What is it, Ren boy?

"... evening bard, right?

……

"When the evening falls, you hear the sound of Lute, right?You're not a liar, are you...?

"Renfang...."

Len looks up like a scratch.I stared at those innocent eyes for a while.Then Racca raised her head to the sky and murmured.

"Speaking of which, the clouds are thick today.Looks like a rainy evening..... "

Huh?

And Racca looks back at Len and says with a smile on her face.

"Go home and listen, Ren boy.Today is the perfect evening bard day.He must ring the lute. "

"... yeah!

The words finally cleared Len's face with a smile.
