The Magus of Genesis

"Yuki, dough, done."

"Thank you."

Yuki smiles softly as she is illuminated by the light of the moon pouring out the window.

"…… Beautiful."

"Yep..."

The moon that draws a true circle is like a hole in the sky.

"Mmm…… yummy"

Yuki sips just a bite of the dough I made and leaks her voice well.

"Is that okay with you?

"Yeah. I'm hungry already"

If I slowly ate one and told her to tease me, Yuki would be in a bit of trouble.

Dumplings made with flour and sugar added and steamed are made of pearls while I am there. You would have eaten up to my share in no time when I was younger. Now she seemed more interested in the moon than the dough.

"The moon is beautiful."

When I say it like it's changed, Yuki tilts his neck.

"It means I love you."

"Well."

As the flowers broke, she laughed. No matter how much more wrinkles are on its face and how old it is, the beauty of its smile remains unchanged.

"But how can you mean that?

"If you look alongside someone you like, the moon looks even more beautiful."

Natsume Soushi translated English I LOVE YOU, a famous creation. But even if it came from a lie, I didn't hate the taste itself.

"It looks a little hateful to me, though."

But Yuki says that with a laugh.

"Because that month will always be beautiful to you."

I don't know what to answer, I just stroke Yuki's hair.

"Ah! You don't want to die. Ah!

I suddenly stretched out my arms and said something like that, so I laughed.

"Well, I don't want Yuki to die either."

"Hey, no way."

As if it were some other HR, she says in a mild tone.

"I love you, brother"

I thought so, words flew in as if by accident.

"……… you've heard it a long time ago, how to call it that"

"Become such a grandmother to a boulder, brother, huh?"

The look on her face, laughing at Niyanya, is no different from when she was younger.

"I think that rhetoric is nice, but I guess I'd rather have it said in person"

... Oh, I see. You know what?

"Okay, I'm surrendering."

Keep your cheeks with your hands, and fix your face that's about to get distorted.

――――――

Only the moon heard the words.
