3 hours early from the start of the Round Robin.

I wondered if everyone was trying to crush each other by now. I looked out the window and thought I was screwed.

Sakurai, it's rice ~

Wow.

Move your wrapped body like a potato bug and move it all the way to the living room.

Because I have to use my mouth to open the door, I am concerned about the hygiene aspects, and because it will crawl the ground differently from biped walking, it takes extra time and energy, but there is nothing I cannot do in an hour.

"Yes, Sakurai-san. Ahhn."

Ahhn

"... Sakurai, are you okay with that?"

"I can't help it. I've got my hands and feet tied up with ropes."

I eat a hamburger made by Iris as I respond.

With a juicy texture, it spreads into the mouth with a special spicy sauce that is concentrated by combining red chilli and habanero.

I don't know the taste of the meat and the shards anymore, and I can't swallow it because the pain in my mouth is irritated by this.

However, I can't help but think that if I leave it as it is, my taste will become stupid, so I have to decide to swallow it.

Yeah, I'm still calm, but Iris's anger doesn't seem to have subsided around using food to express his feelings.

"(Well... it's completely soft, and I just have to accept it. Fucking spicy)"

As you can imagine, Iris knew why I was being tortured like this.

After finishing all night leveling, I went to the reception for the round-the-clock battle, and the reception looked royal Iris.

I was taken to Iris' house without daring to be secured by a cypress with an apologetic face when I tried to escape thinking, "Oh, this is bad."

I was wondering what the excuse was, and Iris jumped at me and started crying.

"Byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"Eh!? What!? I didn't expect that reaction!What are you talking about? Answer me, Hikigaki!! "

"Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Wherever my angry heart appeared at the reception, I had no choice but to accept the tears and swallowing that were endlessly overflowing.

I couldn't help but ask Cypress Hedge for help because I still didn't know what to apologize for.

"No... well, I wasn't even aware of it at all, so it was the same crime... that the operation hit the trauma directly..."

Huh?

When I heard Iris crying to the BGM, I was convinced that I had completely softened myself.

Because this farce can be written in a bullet that says, "Stealing something important from others and threatening it changes the other person's mind and body."

With that in mind, and recalling Iris's background, she was the victim of an incident in which she was "suddenly abducted by the perpetrator, threatened physically and mentally, and nearly brainwashed."

Iris was really close to rescue, but as a result, he was carrying the triple burden of memory loss, toddler regression, and traumatization, and he came to the world trusting me and Hitogaki to change the environment for his treatment.

If you let her hear about this operation... trauma is inevitable and leads to this crying.

"(It's scary when someone I trust starts doing the same thing they did with the trauma.)"

Well, that's why I totally missed it.

After I forgave Iris, I apologized with my head down, and this is how I decided to spend my day tied up.

Why are you tied up?Because if you don't, you'll start pretending and leveling unconsciously.

In other words, I am now expressing the highest and greatest sincerity beyond my knees and stomachs called "Leveling Solemnly."

Sakurai's head is worth less because I've sat down every time since before.

"Quiet, accomplice. Reflect a little."

"I have already resigned from the chairmanship of the morality committee."

"That's not how you show your sincerity to me, is it, Hitogaki?"

The instantly switched cypress hedge rose quietly after a few seconds of rigidity, and mostly went to my room and voluntarily stepped through the trespasser's trap, returning with his upper body bound by thread.

It is a painful measure because I have sat down every time for a long time, and even if I do the same thing, my reflection will not be properly conveyed to Iris.

Hitogaki-san, ahn

That's tough.

"I understand. Ah.... gu, ufu!? Mufufu!?!? Ngu ~!?? "

Iris sighed small to see if the histigaki had fallen to a certain extent as a result of the bitterness of the spicy hamburger pushing down on the table.

"Hah... Sakurai-san, please don't ever do this again.Apart from good and evil, I'm Sakurai-san... who does things like your father.I'm afraid it's going to happen, and I don't like it. I'm sorry. "

It would be painful to even mention it yourself, Iris being small and distorted.

But there is no place where she needs to apologize.The pain she is experiencing this time is entirely my fault.

That is why it is I who should apologize, I who should lower my head, and I who should show sincerity.

"Why is Iris apologizing? I'm sorry, so Iris has no reason to apologize.As soon as I thought my humanity was improving somewhat, I pointed at me and said, "You fool!"I can't let you hit me in the head with a sharp smack."

"I won't do that."

"So, is there anything else you want to do?It's all about making amends, but if there's anything you want to do, I'll go out with you. "

Iris began to groan with his arms around my words.

Can't you think of what you want to do, or can't you narrow it down because there are too many things you want to do?

Anyway, I'm hungry for whatever she says, so I need you to take your time and give me a solid answer.

Ah, now, if you can vigorously pull the rope that got caught up with me, you can play with Bagoma or something.

You can also enjoy the Human Begoma Battle by combining the fallen cypress walls there.

What do you say? You don't? Oh, yeah.

"Well then... really, really, please just one thing."

"What is it?"

"Please think of a more humane approach in the future."

Ah, yes.

Well, in a sense, it's also like my external common sense circuit. If she says so, if I can afford to choose the means, I'll do my best to take care of it.

Honestly, "humanitarian considerations....?" There are parts that don't go well, but there are parts that will definitely change just by being aware.

"You don't seem to understand... at all"

Iris sighed with astonishment when he saw me returning a careless reply.

Then I quickly shoved the spicy hamburger into my mouth and swallowed it, and I lifted it up and sat on the sofa in the living room.

What the hell are you gonna do?Thinking about it, she took the blanket out of her room and lay on the sofa with her head on my lap.

Fuihifu.

The sounds of doubt cannot be properly pronounced in a state of pain as if everything from the inside of the mouth to the back of the throat had been heated because of the spicy hamburger.

Still, my intentions have been conveyed, and Iris, who is in a kneecapsulated state, smiles with a bad smile that makes him think "I'll do it" when he looks at me.

"I'm a little tired, so I'm going to take a break, so please don't move in the meantime."

Hmm?

As soon as she said that, she turned her face away and began to quietly breathe when she thought she had pushed her forehead into my abdomen.

I'm not sure what this is all about, but I'm sure Iris wants to do it.

If you want to do something, you should accept it before I tell you to go out with me.

"(Well, I haven't slept since yesterday's kidnapping either.Are you going to sleep like this?) "

When you are aware of this, your tiredness is pushing up, and your drowsiness is rising.

I let my body weaken, meditated slowly, and entrusted myself to drowsiness.

You can't sleep at all because your mouth is tingling and painful for a long time, and even if you ask for water, you can't move in this state.

Then, Hitogaki was unable to draw water because he himself restrained his upper body, so he twisted his body and managed to drink water from the water tank.

I try to distract even a little from the stimulus in my mouth by breathing roughly through the cypress hedge that collapses from my knees in front of the zero dropped water that spreads to the floor.

What an unusual exposure our suffering lasted until Iris awoke with his shortcomings three hours later.
