Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Zaza... Zaza... and I hear a small tidal wave.

"... n"

That sound, which reaches from the sea far away, brings the scent of the tide to me, who has just woken up.

"Oh, in the morning..."

Sink your head in the pillow, keep your eyes closed, and listen to the sound for a little while. Today, the third day in the city of Fretelli, we plan to follow the legend of the city.

(The upside down forest...? But I wonder if there really is a forest. in a place where there is only such a desert and sea)

I only saw two things yesterday: the day before yesterday, and since I entered the city of Fretelli. So far I'm still bigger impressed and never tired of watching, but Toslin and Carol are just complaining about the heat of the day and the tidal breeze that sticks their hair together.

(He said he was leaving early, and it's time to get up?

I try to get my body out of bed, and then I realize someone is holding my hand. No, I can't believe it's someone... There's only one person on the bed who can hold my hand, either your sister or actually lonely Saluena.

"... that?

I thought... and the lord of this body temperature coming from my hand was neither Saluena nor your sister.

"... Ritzereich?

Lifting her eyelid (eyelid), which felt heavy after she had just woken up, there was Ritzereich. She's pointing her body at this one, grabbing my hand and leaning against her mouth. Whenever she rests quietly, it hits her fingers and just tickles a little.

(Hmm? I slept with your sister yesterday...)

Looking back, I had a proper sister, not misremembered, etc. Sleeping as easily as Ritzereich.

(Does that mean you've been diving in)

The size of the bed is just right for the two of us, cramped when the three of us are. That's why we sleep in pairs.

You can't even turn around with this.

It still fits because it's a little Ritzereich in the body, but if this is Toslin or something, it'll fall apart.

(... are you protecting me?

Ritzleich, among other things, was very worried about me being kidnapped yesterday. I told her it was her turn to sleep. It's a pretty hard thing to put her to sleep.

"... thanks, Ritzereich"

Honestly, I'm not sure why she likes me so much. She and I met in the woods of her hometown of Sorletta Ritta and suddenly it was a battle.

Were you after the dream ruby that's nesting in my index finger? But soon afterwards, the subject of interest changed from Ruby to me, and since then, Ritzereich has generally followed me everywhere I go, hasn't he?

Smarter, stronger and more dependable than me, but smaller and so sweet.

"Really, I think I've got another sister."

With his other hand, he flushed the hair on Ritzereich's face to his side. Then the long eyelashes quiver and the eyelids lift.

"... hmm?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?

"... What time is it?

"Come on, what do you think? But it's already bright out there. Good morning."

"... good morning"

Are you still asleep, Ritzereich blinks slowly and repeatedly a few degrees. When her blue eyes focus on me......

"Nothing happened last night."

... and smiled at that young face and said so.

"Yeah, thanks to you. Thank you for your concern."

"... um"

Ritzereich looked at my hand he was holding.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?

"Yeah, no."

When I squeezed Ritzereich's hand, she gave me a slightly bewildered look and then shook me back. The fact that you usually tend to shy away from coming guyyyyyyyyy from time to time is also like sarah.

There were no many words between us afterwards, listening to the sounds and tides of the city that awakened from sleep.

'Hey, how do you like me so much?

Have I ever done anything special to her since I met her? There's something about her fondness for me that I can't explain just because it's an object of interest.

That question that's been tickling in my chest. That's like a wave launching into the sand, and when it comes out as a word, it pulls away. It is my self who does not speak of it and still does not.

I'm looking at Sarah to her. I want my sister to admire that favor that she turns to me. I don't want to think that you have plans there, etc.

I'm healing my loneliness for my sister I can't see, in Ritzereich. But if you throw that question at me, this relationship could change now.

But that can't be good. Because Ritzereich is not Sarah. I need to know better about this girl who worries so much about me. To be honest with her.

"Hey."

"Isn't it time to wake everyone up?

"Oh, yeah...... Right."

Ritzereich puts on his little neck.

"Excuse me, did I just say something?

"Yeah, but maybe another time."

"... Really?

"I'm starting to smell good enough to bake bread, and I'm going for dinner first. I'm going to walk a lot today, and I'm going to have to eat a lot."

"Hmm. Right."

Me and Ritzereich joined their voices' Whatever... 'with their hands together, getting out of the temptation of a warm bed and starting the day together.

There was a soldering grin on her face when we met at that time.

After breakfast we all had, we waited for Mr. Ushna's arrival and headed to the fountain in the centre of the city.

Tourists heading to the sea and sightseeing were sparse in the morning due to the chilly weather, and the area near the fountain was swamped.

"Just to be sure, it's okay to get close, right?

Toslin stumbled on Carol, who was checking around the fountain one foot away.

"Mm-hmm. I think it's probably a little rough. I don't mean to alarm you, but yesterday, today, and I don't think you're going to be attacking me in the same place."

Hear what Carol has to say, I'm sure. But as far as I'm concerned, it's hard to get my feet right.

"Besides, you said the elves who took the Iris had already accomplished their purpose, right? Then there's no point in risking getting caught."

"Well, so is that. But for now, the Iries stay away from the fountain. Don't leave Rosé and Rizzelaich. All right?

"Ugh, yeah. Okay, I get it."

In reply, I approach the statue of a cleric built near the fountain about chocolate chocolate and after my sister.

Two bronze statues on a marble pedestal. The whole thing stands with a painted shield of holy flowers, facing in the direction of the sea - southeast. The other one holds it so that it wraps the Holy Mark, kneeling and praying. This one is pointing north.

"Receive the prayer of the master and the disciple, the most honorable thing in the world..."

When I squeal like that as I look up at the statue......

"Normally, I guess there's something 'honorable' ahead of the gaze of these two statues"

Laplice flew from my head to Piong and moved to the head of the statue of the one with the shield.

"Mm-hmm, but beyond that, there's only the ocean, right?

"I thought you said you needed a ship or something.

"Ship...? If you ask Kutuna and the others, you will be able to send out the Flummy..."

"This statue is pointing north. Does that mean there are two things about 'the honorable'?

Carol rides onto the pedestal and follows the gaze of the other statue on her knees.

"For one thing, why don't you split into two hands and move in the direction of your gaze?

"I agree with Mr. Saluena."

That's what Mr. Ushna said with his hands up. But Toslin looks sinister in arms.

"On second hand, hey...... Sure, that's more efficient, but the Iries just got caught yesterday..."

"So we're all going to investigate one at a time?

"What's wrong with you? Like I said, they're not after me anymore. Still, if you're worried, you can assign more people to those in the Isles."

It's not nice for me to keep my mouth shut when you're talking about me. So I raised my hand as did Mr. Ushna.

"Thank you for worrying about me, Toslin. But I also think I should split up second-hand and investigate. Da... If the example person is looking for the fairy, we have to hurry as much as we can."

"Well, yes... Yeah, okay. Shall we split up second-hand then? Given the balance, me, Carol and Rose. So the other one is Saluena, Ritzereich and Ushna. Iris, right..."

"Is it at the eagle place?

"Hey, we didn't forget about the Laplice Expedition, Toslin."

"You Mippos can't be too far from the Iries anyway, and you're set."

"Iris."

"Oh, yes."

I'm good with your sister in the mood, but given the balance, it's not so easy to decide. Tilt his little neck, and, um, roaring, his sister called.

(Heh heh heh ♪ If I had an invitation, then I'd have to follow you as my sister anymore)

I tried to rush over to my sister with a cool face, with the utter joy of being called in.

"You, Sally, stay with your sister."

"... Huh?

But your sister spoke to me, not to call me...

"Okay?

"Yes..."

It was to keep me away.
