The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 1: Even the picnic is delicious

Walk under the mid-summer sun to your teacher's house.

It's very hot today. It's been this sun since before noon, so it must be very hot after noon.

... I decided to let you study at the teacher's house today.

For some reason... if you're going to be able to take a nap, I'd like you to let me take a nap.

... lately, it's fluttering. If I stay under the hot sun, I'm going to fall.

I don't know why... I think it's just a lack of sleep.It's time for another massive exam, and I'm studying for it.Besides, I'm cutting down on my sleep time... even after I finish my studies, I can't sleep much.

Because of this, I don't have enough sleep and I can sleep during the day, but I can't sleep at night, even if I go to bed.Even though it is my own body, it is strange, and it is regrettable and angry.

... so I want you to let me study at the teacher's house today, and if you're going to be able to take a nap, let me sleep a little.

Somehow... I feel like I can calm down and take a nap at the teacher's house.

... so I push the intercom that I'm used to.Pnnh, punnh, the sound that I'm used to hearing...

I haven't heard back.

... oh, Doctor, I'm wondering if you're out, but I also think it's strange.I mean, the teacher would never want to go out on a hot day like this.

The teacher said, "Let me out under such a strong sun!It's melting! I'm melting!Or burn! Maybe burn! Burn in the summer sun and turn into charcoal!'. Maybe it won't melt or burn, but it seems that's what happened to the teacher's mood.

So, I think the teacher is definitely at home first...

"Oh, Togo, I'm sorry. Did I make you wait?"

... surprisingly, the teacher came from outside.

"Sensei... what's wrong with that?"

"No, don't be surprised, Togo."Me, too. Sometimes I wear a suit. "

Yes, and more surprisingly, the teacher was wearing a tingling suit.

... the teacher always dresses like chinos or jeans on a t-shirt with a slightly leafy Y-shirt or a strange lettering, so it's very unusual to dress like this.

"Is it snowing today?"

"If it snows every time I wear a suit, I'll wear a suit every day during the summer, but unfortunately, Togo.According to today's weather forecast, today is a pleasant day.I hate the sun. "

While saying that, the teacher took out the key to the house from the heavy, persimmon-dyed bag and opened the front door.

"Well, that's why we should get in quickly.If you stay exposed to the sun, you and I will melt. "

The teacher, who was a little tired and tired, said that and went right into the front door, so I will follow it and disturb you.

"You don't have to wear a suit!"It got cooler as soon as I took it off, Togo! "

Eventually, the air-conditioned living room will get cooler.The teacher came back to me, who was spreading his study tools quickly in the living room.Take off your suit and get dressed as usual.

By the way, today's teacher's t-shirt said, "Villagers."This isn't a village, though.

"No, that's good. That's really good." It's nice to be stirred up by a fan in an air-conditioned room!At least, it's much better than walking under the fire in a suit! "

The teacher talks to the fan as if he were singing a song about the joy of the world.The teacher's voice shook strangely over the fan, but the teacher even seemed to be having fun, and his expression was about half a smile.

"Doctor, what were you up to today?"

So, let's hear it quickly.No, because the teacher who melted when he appeared under the flame was under this flame, so I think he had something really important to do...

"Ahhh... no, just for a second."

When I heard it, the teacher was a little distracted... and then he pointed to the outside, pointing with a sinister face.

"Well... even the family in front of the station was apologized for explaining the end of the big mistake."

In the direction pointed out by the teacher, there is a station.And there was a family reception in front of the station...... Cheng Cheng.

"Meeting with people at work?"

"Well, it's a meeting or an apology meeting for one of my audiences."

The teacher stood up as he said so and headed toward the kitchen.Maybe I'll get you some tea.In the refrigerator of the teacher's house, wheat tea is always prepared this time of year.Because it leaves a packet of barley tea in it, it is made of barley tea that has become an unbelievably thick concentration.

"Wow, that's easy, Togo."

"Yeah."

With the sound of cup cup cup cup cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum cum

"'Cyan' was published in the state of 'Ideas'"

... he gave me a subtle explanation of the intonation difference, even though I don't really understand it.

"You know, it's called a blue idea."It's Blue. Think about it.It's definitely brighter than Cyan Blue!I mean, that's a feeling, not a color!What the hell is a blue butterfly!You're worried! What's bothering you! "

I think of a butterfly in my head. [M]Idea Blue is just...

"Why would you do that?"

"... well, maybe I'm the killer.I was asked to fix the area, so I was able to fix it a lot... and then I made a conversion mistake. "

Chengdu. So the bright light blue butterfly is troubling me.

"Oh, but I thought there was someone to check on that."

"Ah, yes, yes, but... the attendant passed through without even noticing.Thanks to this, the butterfly changed from a vibrant light blue to a more troubled state and flew into the world. "

After the teacher said so, he quietly sipped the barley tea in the glass.And she looked reluctant.Actually, that's what it tastes like, that barley tea.

"... so, well, that explains and apologizes.After all, they're working over there to find typos and errors, hmm.... "

The teacher said that while pouring a second cup of barley tea...

"But... well... most of all, if I hadn't made a strange typographical mistake, it wouldn't have happened like this in the first place... and since I don't inadvertently blame the proofreader, I don't want to give up my good sense and reason..."

Put the barley tea container back in the fridge and place the barley tea cup next to the sink....

"That's why I'm depressed, Togo!"

I fell asleep on the floor, seemingly worthy of the expression "slump".

"Even if I'm depressed, I can't help it."I know.There's nothing you can do about the thought blue and the book that's been published.Well, I can't help it. "

As if it had melted in the summer sun, the teacher was on the floor.

I will look at such a teacher and then go back to study again. [M]

... I finished a whole page of math problems, so I went to the kitchen to get some barley tea.

"Yes, please."

Then hand over the barley tea to the teacher on the floor that had been left beside the sink.

"Oh, thank you, Togo...."

The teacher stood up from the floor, waking up, and started drinking barley tea while sitting on the floor.

"Winning is wine. Barley tea is tangy when defeated.That's good. That's really good.... "

And I started to say things I didn't quite understand, so I sat squarely beside the teacher because it was a corner.And I'll have some barley tea.... [Licking bitter juice] might have this taste.

"...... if this is a perfectly bad situation, I might not be so depressed."In this case, there is no doubt about the carelessness of the other side, but because I did it, I might have noticed it enough, so I'm depressed. "

The teacher says so, dressed as if looking up at the kitchen sink, hooking up on the floor.

"Besides, there's nothing I can do to save you anymore."If you insist, 'Let's make sure this doesn't happen next time', but when I try my best next time, I won't go back to Cyan Blue. "

Yeah, I know. Failure remains failure forever. If you make one mistake, it won't be 100% anymore.I'm familiar with that.

"... well, it can't be helped, but I have to give up.Don't give up, I mean forget it to a certain extent... it takes time to forget it... "

The teacher drank the contents of the glass and then melted on the floor.

"In other words, there are predictions that the next few days will remain depressed."

I see.

Watching the teacher makes me suffer a little.

Somehow... really somehow, but I know how you feel.

It's painful to say 'not perfect'.

Besides, if there is something wrong with you, you can only be angry with yourself.So, maybe it's unnecessarily painful.

"But I have to get up."I can't just stay depressed for the rest of my life.What a hassle... So, here we go. "

But the teacher is still a teacher.

"Togo, open the freezer.And take out the secret medicine that will cheer me up. "

When I opened the freezer as the teacher told me... there was a big container of commercial ice cream in there, "Den,"

"Yummy"

"Yeah."

So we're sitting on the floor eating ice cream.

The teacher said, "I have a dream of holding the whole container and eating it, but if I do it, I will definitely lose my health.While saying, "It is poisonous to take too much ice cream and medicine", she decided to eat ice cream after taking it into her bowels.Still, I ate about twice the amount I got.

In addition, they serve daikon radish pickles that are kept in the refrigerator and eat them together.Pickles are pickled when the inside of the mouth becomes sweet.The aroma of yuzu spreads softly and is delicious inside.If you pour the daikon radish like that, ice cream will come back.... a bit strange to eat together.

And the teacher who seems to be fully fluent in that kind of mouthfeel, his mouth is loosening... and that's a much better expression than before.

"... how are you feeling?"

"Ah. Well, the ice cream is delicious after all... this is the best thing to do when you're depressed about something impossible."

The teacher said so and pretended to shake the spoon in front of his face.

"I'm getting old, too.To a certain extent, I've come to know what the special effects are for my depression.Ice cream for now, meat for now.I feel ill if I eat both too much.After that, it's a shallow pickle of cabbage, yuzu radish, wings tip, a nice stewed curry, cocoa, milk tea... the tea pickle is a good medicine. "

"It's full of food."

"That's right!... I'm a simple person, so when I'm full of delicious food, I get sleepy."If you sleep like that, you'll be calm to a certain extent and at least energized. "

Chengdu. These strange snacks are like medicine for sleeping.... will I be able to sleep when I'm full?No, but I rarely get hungry.

My meal... well, my mother is very concerned about it... it's very healthy, and it's kind of hard to breathe.Because my head won't work if I eat too much, so the amount is modest.Exceptional digestibility, so it doesn't mean you're hungry before you go to bed.

... and it's not very delicious. Well, thanks to that, I grew up familiar with hunger, and I grew up with people who were not obsessed with eating.

"So, eat, sleep... and as long as you get well, the rest of you..."

Then the teacher looks at me... hey, a little pathetic smile comes to mind.

"Well... then. Mm-hmm. I think ice cream works for melancholy, but so does a good comprehender who eats ice cream together."

"... me?"

"Oh, yes, thank you, Togo.Thanks to you, I'm getting a little better. "

The teacher finishes eating more ice cream than I do, and begins to chew the daikon radish.The expression is quite satisfying.

"I didn't do anything."

"That's what it is. You're doing nothing."It's just that I'm there.So it's just the way it always is.... but that works for me. "

... I wonder. Somehow, I'm happy.Sensei, when I'm here, I feel better... yeah.It's a pleasure for me. [M]

"It's a pleasure. There are lots of medicines close to you that will cheer you up!Besides, one of those medicines has legs, and you're just walking around! "

Somehow, I imagined that my legs were growing properly on the tablet, but is that what the teacher is saying about me?

"Well, if the day comes when you become an over-the-counter drug, what if your name is" Togo "?See, over-the-counter drugs are such cheap, I don't know, they have a lot of naming, right? "

No, I don't want people to take drugs with strange names on their own.

"... hmm? If I were to become a medicine, would I become a 'Cane Utsuki' or something?"

I don't think so, so don't arrange any fictional medicines.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to take it easy.Whether it doesn't work or it doesn't work, just rest, Togo.I suppose this is also necessary occasionally.Hmm. Everything, everything is necessary for something... "

Eventually, the teacher lay down on the floor.It's a corner, so I'll try to fall asleep imitating it.

... the glossy flooring was a bit cool and pleasant.

I can hear a cicada from outside.It must be hot outside the room.It must be hot enough to burn in the sun.

But now this room was very comfortable.I feel cool, comfortable, and good to sleep... gradually falling asleep.

... Seung Jo. It looks like I've also received some elixirs to help me get better.

That's right. Special effects. Um... 'Cane Utsuki'...



Chapter XIV: Good night in the woods



Argent is here?I think it's troublesome, but it doesn't start without listening.We head towards the walls of Soleira, where we find Argent questioning the soldiers of the walls.

"Hurry up, it'll be bad for Corgo Uesora."

"So, I can't talk to you about not asking you much.I'm in trouble.... "

"I told you I couldn't tell you the details!Ready? Confidential information.If you're going to tell the doorman about it, it's going to lose its value immediately. "

"So, the outline is fine. If it's not the details, it's fun."

"You don't think there's anything you can deduce from that summary?We can't let a single piece of information lose its value.If you really need help, just say, "Lord Argent is here to see you."

"No, because it's our job to prevent people like that from losing time to paint."

... Sheng Jing. Thank you, all the soldiers on the wall.Later, we will bring in plenty of fresh sweets and forest fruits from the fairy Western confectionery store.

Um, Agent-san.

It is not good to lose any more of the soldiers' time, so I leave behind them. [M]

... the Wall Corps was stunning and, as its name suggests, turned into a "wall", hindering Argent.They were lined up taller than me, so Mr. Argent didn't see me.When I left the soldiers, I looked a little surprised. [M]

"... what are you doing here?"

I was just here.

Yo, when you step out in front of the soldiers, they say, "Are you glad you're out?"But you look worried.It's okay. Thank you. I'll take it with me later.

"Um... what can I do for you?"

So I said that to Mr. Agent right away...

"... I want to talk in a place without people.Well, can you get me into town first?Therefore, I would like to have the opportunity to pay and talk.Of course, it's good for you. "

That's what Argent said.

... mmm.

Um, shouldn't someone be here?

"... people..."

I was very surprised, but as for me, I have to stay.

"Uh, Faye Blood Redgard, and then Laocles, the escort, and Crore, the secretary."

... when I said so, Argent nodded as if there was a point.

"Of course. To that extent... no, Red Gard's."

"Whatever you told me, it's all going to fall out on Faye."

"... I'll let you go. Well... if you're not worried about being stolen from outside."

Oh, good.

"Besides, do I have to be in town?"

"... what?"

"No, because there's no particular reason why you have to go inside the town...?"

Rather, I think it would be better to go out of town if there were outsiders.And... I don't want Argent in town as much as I can.Well, somehow, yes.

"No... outside Soleila... was there such a place around here?"I want to talk in a place where I can sit back and calm down.It's going to be a long deal.... "

“Yes, there's a good place to talk.”

Mr. Argent seemed worried, but there's plenty of good places to talk.

... so...

Yes, please, Mr. Argent.

When Claire handed over a simple cup with a smile, Argent was thanking her... moving her gaze and observing the surroundings with us.

Well, I guess you're nervous.Just as I get nervous when I'm in a fine reception room, Argent must be nervous right now.

... now.

We are outside the walls of the town of Soleila... that is, in the woods of the outer circle.

Various kinds of sweets packed in a basket (mainly mochi sweets because it is a corner) and tea in a water bottle, in a picnic state.

"Well, it was a sudden visit, and it didn't seem like it was a public conversation!Both I and Tokyo will be entertained by rude lectures! "

Fei raised the fruit tea in a simple cup with a smile on her face and said, cheerful.

... well, I hope you enjoy it.It's a corner, so it's good for occasions like this.

Would you like some rice cakes, Mr. Agent? There's also Daifuku.
