When the dining kitchen door opened, there stood a manuferno in plain clothes.

You were trying to sleep, he's totally lowering his long silver hair. Apparently, the lights leaking out of the living room attracted us to our voices.

Look quietly indoors,

"Live. My hit" Brave X Sage "is underway in real time......?

Hahahaha and breathe rough and whine the same paranoid bursting line.

How can a tannic man's liquor store look like that?... Well, it's not convincing to say this while I'm possessed by a brave man.

"Manu, why don't you come over here and have a drink? Tonight is Greg's treat!

To the bright voice of Ergonote, Manuferno said, "Ho?" He looked small and surprised and stepped into the dim "store" feeling like he said he was afraid.

"Welcome, guests, now the beautiful monks are here."

"Fairy (Meti). Is that kind of funny?

"Yeah, very"

Fairy Metius leads Manuferno through beautiful phosphorescence.

"Manu...... Well, I'm free here."

I pull quite a chair.

"Thank you. Here then"

Manuferno looked around quietly as he lowered his hips.

The light of the scented oil lamp is squeezed about as much as a candle, and the warm flames are loose across the front of the folded glass.

I'm just a little nervous about why there's a manual next door that I'm supposed to be familiar with that's still soft on my usual round glasses. Usually you say, "Fuck us!" or something that manages to be mildly funny, but my mouth doesn't move at all today.

I give you the "menu" paper that Metius used to make at some point. He guessed it was a sinister tavern with a fairy master, and it seemed salvation that Manu knocked me out too.

"Citrus (lime). Water in, the same as Gugre-kun."

"Yes!"

When I heard the order, Metius looked at me and smiled at Nicole, so I took the cup out of the cupboard and poured water, squeezing fresh lime there and putting it in front of the manu.

The manual giggles dull about whether the store's self-system was interesting.

"Ohh! Let's drink! Huh? Both Manu and Gre are grown-ups. Whoa?

The three of us toast once again, appropriately saying, "Uh, yes, yes," the drunken brave man trying to pour the liquor into my cup and Manu's.

Drinking up luxuriously all over the place, Ergonote stuck up and fell asleep. Metius calls in his ear, but there's no sign of it happening. "Gu," Ibiki replied at the end of the day.

- Oh, come on!? I'd rather Ergo tell me a lot about this place......

Did Metius also give up? He sits at the window looking blurry out into the moonlight. I guess you're pretending not to listen carefully to this one.

Manu opened his mouth quietly to me in a hurry.

"Adults. If you can really drink in these stores, you must be an adult..."

"Oh, oh... yeah, really"

"Maybe. Really?

"I'm not sure, either."

Though exchanging words, I think soothingly.

Adults.

Me and Manu are the same age, and if I turn twenty, can I automatically become an "adult"?

Or is it bad if you don't do something?

If you search for adults with search magic (Ggol), you might find something, but that's probably not the answer.

"Today. Actually, I was happy and... sad."

I felt something in the back of my body when I said it was stubborn...

I accidentally stop turning the glass.

I have to tell you now. About the gift I gave you without a second thought. I have to apologize for hurting you.

"Manu, you know..."

But Manu uttered unexpected words.

"Bracelet. Thank you. I was so happy. Because... it's the first gift I've ever received in my life."

Manu had a warm grin like a spring clump. My eyes are moisturized staring through my glasses.

I unwittingly blink at that word.

- Huh?

"It's the same thing as Faria... I don't like it, I thought it was..."

"Quite the opposite. I'm... happy, huh? Greg, that's what you gave me. I don't mind if that's the same as someone else. Yeah. It's more like your favorite Faria, Gugre..."

So Manu clogged the words.

The word Faria, which I like, pokes deep into my chest. Sure, I "like" Faria, but that's also not what I "like" about Manuferno. I'm cramped with words to give back. But I was desperate to absorb Manu's feelings.

"I'm sorry. I... can't understand Manu properly. You're supposed to be a wise man who knows everything, but nothing, at all, sounds stupid..."

I can't tell you well. Only some awful feeling swells.

Besides, I still can't think of any reason why Manu looked sad. If I had told you from the bottom of my heart that my bracelet was just for Manuferno, only one thing in the world, I wouldn't have looked sad.

"Thank you. That's okay, that's all I'm happy about"

Quiet, spin the words to make sure you feel.

"One. Because I have always been lonely, despised and not needed, and I never got anything from anyone... Even if I get a corner, I don't know what to say except thank you, and I don't know what kind of face to look like... feel sorry for me"

Remove glasses and expose strange eyes with a deep red glow. Though there are tears in my eyes, my eyes are so gentle.

You should probably take off your glasses, even though they're cute.

- Right.

For the first time, I realized the obvious: "I am who I am and what I am."

Shit, it's me I meant to know and I didn't know anything about, but there's got to be something I can say.

"In that case, for now... I think you should laugh"

…… Right, right. "

When I see the smiling Manu's face, I finally drink up the glass of water I had in my hand. I keep an eye out for how delicious it was.

"Conversion. Kind of an adult story... so far"

"Actually... I can't seem to talk about adults any more, either"

Even with all the similarities, there are parts that are different from each other...... When you're thinking about it, it's like you're playing a puzzle with no answers, but that can be fun and warm.

"The bracelet. It's a waste of time, actually. It's decorated in your room."

"What the fuck!

The two of us laugh like children.

Even if they call me a wise man, I'm probably not an adult yet. But...... One day, I'm sure, I wish I could grow up with Manuferno and just take it slow.

"Well, I don't know if I'm going to sleep anymore..."

Yeah, and stretch. and Manuferno whispers face-to-face.

"Room. I want you to come to... I have one favor to ask you."

I lay my gaze down like it's hard to say.

"Huh?"

- Yeah, yeah!?

The stairs to the adults suddenly opened their mouths.

"Bad. Already be polite..."

"Shit... you have no choice, because it's the first time"

I am ashamed of my unfamiliarity. But Manuferno gently put his hands on it.

"Instruction. Fingertips are... like this"

"Oh...... yeah, you know what?

"Good. OK then"

Under the light of the lamp, the manu smiles small.

On the desk (...) in two rows is a paper with pictures. Me and Manu were sitting at that desk, sharing and proceeding with the work.

The teacher, Manuferno, is in charge of "penciling" and I am in charge of "painting".

"Concentrate. Here's your fingertips!

"Yes, sir."

In other words, I have been helping to finish Manuferno's peer magazine (...) all night, but when it comes to painting, I get instruction every time I stick it out of the line, even if I paint it betta.

"Dark hair. I'm proud of your dark hair. Please apply it carefully."

"... could you at least change your name?

"Rejected. Brave x Sage is a series of things. I can't now."

I lift my glasses with my middle finger and Manuferno snorts roughly. My hair is unwrought in one behind me, and I'm totally the writer's face with ink on my cheeks as well.

In the manuscript of the work, the strangely cute face "I" plays Icharab with the handsome face brave. I'm naked at the top of my body, cornered on the wall, and they say, "You need to be punished."

- What's so sad about it that I have to get my own BL peer magazine beta painted...

While I sighed, I noticed myself relaxed from the bottom of my heart when I saw the side of the manual running the pen seriously.
