One of Krew's crates, which Yuki had delivered to him, contained sacheted cookies like mountains.
With a little Sputnik on his unexpected luggage, Krew split it it into three large paper bags and packed them until each one was full.
"It's a souvenir for everyone in the city," he says, leaving the store with Anna, Luanne and the three of us hand-splitting and raising paper bags. I had been asking through the window for a while about where I was going, but I handed it to every facial acquaintance I met in the street, saying, "It's a souvenir".
Pick a chest tie. I doubt in half what needs to be spilled souvenirs on so many humans, but this will pay off to announce the reopening of the Sputnik jewellery store. That's what I thought, and I decided to leave it alone.
Okay, let's get this one cleaned up. Once again, Sputnik leaned back in front of the box.
"Sputnik"
"- Yikes!?
Suddenly, someone called me by name and I almost twisted my hips at risk. In the store, where no one was supposed to be but myself, I couldn't help but hear it calling my name from close range.
But the surprise seems to have been the same over there. Try to jump up and stand up, staring at the shadow with your posture low and your hands in the abyss of the box - the person's eyes were wide open.
"Surprise. Don't shout all of a sudden."
"... what, you"
He was Yuki, the perpetrator of the earlier noise incident, when he was in charge of managing the Sputnik jewellery store at the Krulol Jewellery Chamber.
Hands off the box, hips extended and arms wrapped.
"It's true that the real killer is going back to the scene, because the security device is gunning. I ran to the police for neighborhood trouble, how can you drop me?"
"That's a reflection -"
When I told him, Yuki frowned, blocking each ear with both hands, and waved her wear to do no.
But the trick of rejecting it is only temporary. As soon as we get back to normal,
You're free now.
I'm not free.
How do I look free when it's obvious that I'm in the process of unpacking a pile of luggage?
So I gave it back without getting my hair in, but I also know it doesn't make sense. Yuki's decision is absolute. If she decides' Sputnik is free ', then Sputnik is free.
Yuki laughs funny at Sputnik's words.
thumbs over your shoulders to show your back,
"Hey, I need to introduce you to someone. Will you come?
And that's an order, not a favor.
When she answered with a sigh, "I'm going to ask you to be brief," Yuki also laughed funny.
First, Yuki's hand shook on Sputnik's shoulder.
"Close your eyes."
Close your eyes, as I was told.
"Take a deep breath, then slowly open your eyes"
Breathe heavily. The darkness behind the lid was white and I felt just a little blue odor in the wind. I was surprised when I raised my eyelid thinking that it was the extent of the change.
Because I was supposed to be in the store, under the blue sky, in the woods at some point.
My legs are stepping on the grass. It's such an awkward move. You call it metastasis?
"... in that time, white light, countdown"
"Hmm?"
He didn't seem to know when he was talking about it, and Yuki tilts his neck. When I told Via Alton he was on his way, he said, "Oh," as if the point had been made.
"That's a performance"
"Performance?"
"It would be harder for me to do what I do if I were so flashy. I gave you time to get ready for Sputnik's outing."
Indeed, at that time, Yuki also looked like a victim caught up in magic. It means it was fitted properly during surgery, I'm angry.
Yuki went about three steps further, and this way, he asked. Shut up and follow the rest.
Eventually, an old stone building appeared. Looks like one story, flat and square. There are windows on dark gray walls, but all are fitted with lattices and rubbed glass is used.
And.
At the entrance, two people, completely dressed in black robes from their heads, stood - wizards. I don't know her face, but from her back length, she's still a woman.
When they noticed the Sputniks, they looked at each other.
Sputnik didn't seem to remember, but he seemed to know about Yuki. The name the wizard called was certainly a reference to her.
"Dear Francoise,"
"Yes."
After a little silence,
"... go ahead"
They opened the entrance to the building.
But from the tone, the atmosphere,
"You hate me."
"Hmm. You know?"
I looked at Yuki and said in a whisper, laughing funny and answering. And pompous,
"I'm used to it."
As if that were natural.
One of the wizards at the entrance will lead us through the building. Back to back with the old ambiance of the exterior, well polished inside, white walls and ceilings. The wizard seemed to know without asking what purpose Yuki appeared here, and he was not lost in his steps.
I knew from the exterior that it was a bungalow building, not too narrow. The hallway is correspondingly long, with doors lined up but no sign of people beyond. Similar to the exterior, there are plaid windows in the hallway at equal intervals. I peek in, but no one looked like me in any room.
But walking down the hallway, at one point, I felt like we felt a breath that wasn't ours - as expected, the wizard stopped there.
One, wooden door.
When the guide's wizard let the door touch the tip of the wand and said, "Unlock," the white light scattered.
"... go ahead"
"Nfu. Thanks."
The wizard leaves. Probably going back to the holding.
It reached Sputnik's ear that the wizard muttered "you dying witch" without fail. But the voice was trembling - and it turned out that the wizard was afraid of Yuki.
Probably sounded yuki too. She just laughed sometimes and didn't say anything. I never blamed the wizard for leaving.
Crouch open doors.
It was spacious inside. Milky white walls and ceilings, with light water carpets on the floor. At the edge of the room is a table with tea utensils and a sofa. On the wall on the right hand side there is a door leading to the back room, but it is closed perfectly.
Furthermore. Near the ceiling of the wall, on the four corners, bills are affixed. Sputnik knew what it meant - magically sealed.
And.
Inside that room, a woman stood.
"... you"
A woman said. Those eyes were looking at Sputnik.
The woman, wearing a white blouse and a blue long skirt, seemed somewhat surprised by the visitors who came in without a knock.
My hair, which should have been black and long, was cut short, and I'm not wearing a robe. Because of that, Sputnik didn't immediately know who the person was. Yuki called his name, and when I looked at him again, he was definitely the one.
"Hello, Javot"
Wizard Javot. - Teng himself, who shut down Wizard Soaran, kidnapped Krew in the city of Vealton, and caused a commotion.
Soaran, the wizard, said when he was suspected, he was trapped in a place like an underground barn and the meal was not served with all sorts of things. Compared to that, this room seemed like a good treatment. I don't know where the difference in their treatment comes from.
To Javot, Yuki asked.
"Is there anything missing from your life here?
There's no way, Sputnik thought.
Born as the daughter of the headquarters of the Witches Association, she was given the task of being the branch manager of the Cokedier branch - although Sputnik doesn't know exactly how great it was - but it does - she must have been the wizard's elite. How humiliating is the current situation, where even the robe as a wizard's outfit was taken up?
Javot opened his mouth when he saw Yuki.
That, as I expected, was not the story of necessities.
But it wasn't a word to tell you what you needed, or a word to tell you how dissatisfied you are with your life.
"You don't understand."
It was a low, calm voice.
"That girl, how precious that 'physique' is."
I thought you hadn't given up yet - but that's not what they're saying either.
I already know it won't happen in Javot, but I can't tell anyone. That's how it looked.
