That's about 'Crewe, welcome home party' day.
In time and evening, at the coffee shop Fine.
Spoutnik, the host of today's party, stood in the deepest part of the floor and looked around the store.
The party was ready as planned. The walls are decorated with flowers, star-shaped ornaments and pastel-colored garlands folded in colorful paper, and all tables are alive with clean vases and flowers. "I didn't use the candle because there would be drunkenness" is Elsa's fault.
Crewe sat at the deepest table where he could see everything in the store, laughing like it lit up,
"You're nervous!
He says, but all that is gathering is facial familiarity anyway.
Who made it? She was wearing a crown made of gold paper. Should I have prepared "The Lead of the Day" as well?
"Well, maybe it's time to get together. … quietly -, quietly -"
The sound of Elsa standing next to her, holding her hands together twice. That alone lowered the volume of noise in the store. At the same time, everyone's gaze turns this way, and Crewe's back stretches meaninglessly.
"I would now like to receive a greeting and a toast from Sputnik Jewellery Store Owner Sputnik."
From the sitting crew, "Good luck, Mr. Sputnik -" my little cheer flies, but I'm not even going to say anything conceited enough to require anchovies.
Put your left hand on your hips and inhale.
I stood up so everyone could hear me.
"Uh, I just gave you an introduction. It's Sputnik. Thank you so much for having far exceeded our expectations for hosting the Crewe Welcome Back Party, you idiots. Our sincere thanks also go to our local collaborators in the City of Vealton for their help. … Now, a few caveats to the party first. Treat the empty plates and glasses yourself as best you can. Take care of the spirit of concession. I don't forgive you for liking or disliking me, but eat what you ask for responsibly. As soon as we find out, we'll immediately file a damage report with the police for burglary."
Say hello, are they in a good mood or not?
"And most importantly. Today's meeting is free of charge and funded by the full Sputnik jewellery store. In our shop, it is a bleeding service for the de deficit, and even if you think about future neighborhood dating, the consumption of alcohol can be polar, powerful, and modest -"
"Sputnik, sobriety change"
"This way too."
"I know you haven't even had a toast yet, but I drank it, you guys!
Elsa, too, I hope you don't go pouring extra booze with pleasure.
"Anyway, after tomorrow, I look forward to welcoming you to the Sputnik Jewelry Store and offering you my best wishes. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your glasses and say hello. Celebrate the safe return of our employees and, in conjunction, we are gathered here today to express our sincere best wishes for your health, success and 'peace' -"
One beat.
Everyone breathes heavily on Sputnik's signal.
Raise the glass high and high,
"- Cheers!"
And.
The feast begins.
"Mm..."
Crewe woke up because of a strange noise about the pillow.
This is... not home. Coffee shop Fine, that's the floor. Hi, he fell asleep in the middle of a party.
Outside the window, which should have been dark, it's getting whiter and whiter.
For the first time since I woke up, I realized I was sleeping with Sputnik's belly on my pillow. What I heard seemed to be the sound of Sputnik's belly.
Blurry sleepy head, reminds me of the party. It was a huge fuss last night. The adults drank like sober and the children ate a pile of delicious cakes. Crewe should have chatted with all the wizards and city people who were coming to the party.
Participants received many gifts. From toys (toys), sweets, bouquets of flowers, to gorgeous songs, music, and dancing.
At Krew's request, Sputnik's appearance of a clever dancer who loathes to go along with the song was anyway well-dressed and became a treasure for life in Krew's chest.
Against that, or Soaran's shitty dance, which Yuki instructed and intruded on, caught everyone's attention in a different way than Sputnik's, and I couldn't help but freak out. Crewe said, "Come on, come on!" I laughed happily ever after I spoke, "but that doesn't make me any better at dancing.
In the meantime, as a 'surprise guest from the Wizard', a man named Krew's parents also appeared. I knew I couldn't remember my father or my mother, but the moment I saw him, for some reason, my chest ached, I couldn't say anything, and when they held me together, I was just happy and overflowing with tears.
It was a night I cried until my eyes turned bright red and laughed until my cheeks hurt.
Look around the store. There are rolling faces I've seen everywhere. People who borrowed blankets and fell asleep, people who looked drunk and held liquor bottles, all sorts of things. Crewe was hanging a blanket, but Sputnik just stays rolling on the floor.
From the kitchen you can hear the sound of water and the collision of dishes. I'm sure the coffee shop Fine clerks are cleaning up.
"Ku is..."
Kahon, and a cough. One, there were zero gems.
He returned a long distance from the city of Vealton and also visited his daily routine in the city of Riafiat. Once back away, this is a very nice city, I think again.
There was a lot of hard work on the road from the birth of Crewe to reaching this city. Something scared me. There are many things I forgot and still can't remember.
But I think it's really nice to be in this city with Sputnik, to meet the people of this city, to work in this city, to live in this city.
But.
"... Still"
That wasn't Crewe's word.
Sputnik, who remained rolling on the floor, was awake at some point. I was awake and watching Crewe.
You must have guessed what Krew was thinking right now about the blurry look of Krew looking over the store. Gray eyes that don't laugh reflect Crewe.
"Still, do you want to go"
Morning sun rising through the city.
A party that was fun.
Gentle people.
My mind is about to shake.
- Still.
"Yes."
Nod.
Because it's up to me.
"Ku wants to go to school"
