"Oh man. Me, yam shochu. And hampens and eggs."

In the end, Ning decided to go to his usual Oodle Shop. It's a cheap store under guard, but this is the only place I could think of. Maki is Maki, "Where Ning people always go, I want to say it," because he said a very kind social dictionary.

Plus, a serious story. This parrot shop is pretty good. While it is a rice noodle store, most menus will be made if they are in the store. For some reason, there are menthi cutlets and potato salads.

The store owner's uncle has a scratch on his face and is like a yakuza thing but very hearty

"Aye. Brother. He's got a lot of cute kids today. Hey, is this your brother?

"Give me a break, mister. This man is my colleague. Wouldn't it be rude to say that?"

Ning people rushed to tease the shop owner while pouring shochu, while taking a look at Maki. What will you do if you feel bad about this? And I got worried.

"No, no! Absolutely, because I'm fine. Not at all!"

Maki waved at me and denied it. What a good man.

"Ha. So, what's your sister gonna do?

"Ah, uh, well, deep-fried radishes and thick"

"Aye."

After a while, the hot rice noodles come out. There were only two guests. Is it a good store but it's not thriving because I'm afraid of the store owner's face after all? The two of them toasted and took it to the Oden.

"Wow. Sounds delicious. I'll have it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Mitsuki, who flaunted the radishes, with a happy face, says Ha-ha-ha. The Ning people stared at each other.

"...? What is it? Ah! What do you have?!?

"No, something..., its delicious?

"It's delicious!

"Yeah. I think so, too. It's dirty, but it's a good shop."

"I'm sorry it was dirty... yes. This, service."

"Thank you"

In the old store, I ate the two of them warm rice and played a little bit of the story.

"Me. Come on, speaking of which, I've been eating mesh with people. It's Maki's third."

"Huh? Oh, really?

"Yeah. Metallica seniors and one of my best friends in high school."

"Heh. Really?"

"Ning ren-kun, what are you doing on your day off or something?

"Mm-hmm. Well, with an autonomous tre. And then I wonder if I'm pulling... what about Maki?

"Autonomous tre is amazing! I am… so free that I can read books and take walks."

"That sounds intelligent. No, Maki's already in college, right? Masaki-shitsu? You're younger than me. I really think it's amazing. I respect that. What were you studying?

"Uh, biology, engineering, and more"

"Uh-huh. Wow."

"Ya, it's no big deal. Ning Man is the one who has the results in the first year! Oh, yeah. Congratulations in advance!

It's a situation that may not be as exciting as it is, but the Nings still enjoyed it. Somehow, but Maki looks happy too. Are you feeling a little bit, the cheeks were slightly cherry and that was beautiful again.

"Heh. Brother. Did you do a good job?

Sometimes the store owner gets involved in the conversation. This shop owner is good at it, so it doesn't get in the way of the guests, so it makes the air better.

"That's right! Ning Man, it was amazing."

"Oh well. Brother, I gave you a man. I hope it keeps coming out."

As such, the shop owner pours the replacement of the shochu. This is not like the usual one. It was a little expensive shochu.

"Oh man. This..."

"Oh, to a future young man, it's service from an old man. I hope so."

When they say that, Ning people don't feel bad either. But I also noticed a little bit that much to be expected.

"Ha. But I'm in a general position..."

Somehow I tried to cloud my tea, but Maki makes an unexpected statement.

"What are you talking about? That doesn't matter! I know. Ning is someone who has something."

Maki didn't seem to be very alcoholic. Tension is rising.

"It's already famous for some of it, isn't it?" We're an evil organization! What's wrong with doing something bad! 'Cool!

Apparently it was all the time imitating Ning, but instead it was tongueless and adorable. Probably not exactly alike. Ning people laughed unexpectedly. It just lit up, so I decided to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, I didn't ask, how did Maki get into Metallica?

I've been concerned since the joining exam. Ikeno understands. He is a man like a chunk of upward orientation. Though evil, you wanted to wield that spicy arm in a metallica with immense power. But Maki doesn't look that type.

……

Maki turned and became quiet. Shit, I might have heard something bad. At the time the Ning tried to apologize, Maki, who had been silent for a while, began to talk to Potspots, as he had decided something.

"... I'm a sapas. Only half, though. Your mother was Sapas."

The store suddenly became quiet. Did the store owner distract you or pull you into the back of the store?

Sapas. It is generally recognised as an 'already doomed organisation of evil'. but actually not.

Sapas is a word that stands for race. It is an ancient indigenous people who have evolved differently from humanity today.

Being on average highly intelligent doesn't surprisingly make them any different from humans. They were people whose humanity was in the Cold Sleep before building the current civilization and who woke up in the modern age.

Humanity was initially bewildered by them when they woke up, but quickly formed friendship and coexisted because of the usefulness of the scientific power of the sapas, and because it was almost genetically identical to humankind, and even more friendly.

But some of the sapas were called extremists. Named Black Sapas, they declared war against humanity. We developed a claim that we should rule over the superior species.

The battle spanned several years, but thanks to the work of the Guardians and the Rocks, Black Sapas was devastated.

As a result of this battle, the "not black" Sapas also became a threat from humanity, and now they live secluded in a corner of society. No human rights. I can't imagine what you're being treated like.

"... your mother, was not Black Sapas. I met your father and he lived normally. But when I was eight, they took me to the Guardian, and that was it."

"... you know what?"

Just a little bit, it was similar. Ning people are human, but only a little, the situation was similar.

"... but it's not like I want revenge. Just..."

Ning also figured it out somehow. I'm sure she wants to change the world, too. I want to create a world where people are not born, where it's only natural for their mothers to be gone.

She's right, after all. There are plenty of people in the world today who would like to remain quite peaceful, without an evil organization.

There should be far more people who don't want to radically change that, and the Rocks and Guardians are protecting such people from the hands of evil demons. I think that's honorable.

Besides, I don't know how many centuries it's going to take, but even if we don't get into Metallica, there's got to be other ways to get to the world we're going for, and still, because she chose the way she is now.

It's obvious which is justice, Rox or Metallica.

"... after all, I'm a bad person... Sapas, too, I hid it. I'm sorry.... I've never talked about this before."

Maki was upset. Just a little bit, my shoulder is loose.

That's not true. You're not bad, though. [M] Because that's a lie.

Because Ning people don't want to lie to this child.

So the Ning did something else.

I'm surprised, roughly. The Ning gently touch the head of the nagging Ming Ji. Pompous, I guess.

I thought you might be creeped out, but still, I wanted to do that for you.

"I don't care about Sapas or anything. And if you're a bad guy, I'm better off."

Maki gives her face as if she were suddenly surprised.

"Let's change. Let's take this world.... Together"

It didn't work, but I wanted to tell you.

Evil or not, I'm not. I won't deny it.

I'll fight. Ever. With my people, with you.

"... Yes"

Maki looked up to me. I knew my eyes were moist, but still I wasn't crying.

"Ho. This is a service."

Just in time, the owner takes two tea bowls and puts them on his face.

"Oh, are you pickling tea?

"Oh. It's seabream stock today."

The hot air smells like delicious dashi from a tea bowl.

"Maki-san, the tea pickles here are so delicious! It's only a service."

That's what I said, a Ning man with a bright voice.

"Ooh, that's delicious. Oh, but it doesn't mean go home. This isn't Kyoto."

And so the shopkeeper laughs. With a strong face, he had a brown smile.

Maki smiled happily.

"Yes... I'll have it!"

"I'll have it."

The two of us cook a cup of tea. Yeah, I knew it, it's delicious.

Looking beside him, Maki wept in his eyes, with a sneezy look on his face, eating.

"It's delicious... Really."

Ning people saw her like that and thought she was much, much cuter than any she'd ever seen.

The shopkeeper turns that way and blows a cigarette.

I'm done eating, she said.

"... Ha, it was delicious.... Yeah. Ning ren-kun."

"What?"

"Keep up the good work. Together, let us conquer the world."

Her face was sunny like that.

Ning replies.

"Of course."

I'll fight ahead. But thanks to you, I figured it out.

I'm not alone.
