The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"What, what? This letter... I can't read it."

Yeah. It says, "Uni-Protective."

"Is it the letter of the world of the cane?"

"That's right. So," "Ununiaki" "is my teacher's name."

Explaining to Faye, Faye looked at my signature in confusion. Mr. Rugulos is also comparing my signature with mine.

And in front of us... the Universe Guardian letter is shining!

"What, what? The letters are twisted?"

"Ah, maybe this is shining..."

"... do you have the letters?!"

Yeah. Just the letters.... yes.

While we were watching, the characters were stuck all the time, and then they returned to the characters of "Universe Protection" properly.... it's really a teacher-like text!

"Sensei, do you mean some kind of weirdo that comes out when I talk to you?"

"Yes, that weirdo."

I'm somehow glad that Faye remembered her teacher as a 'weirdo'. That's right. The teacher is a strange person.

"... why is the human name here?" You think this book belongs to him? "

"Hmmm... I guess so. Or did the teacher write it...?"

Mr. Rugulos is leaning his neck at my words. "Why did you sign a book about the legends of this world?" "I think that means..."

"Sensei is a novelist."

Maybe this is a book written by the teacher.

I see, I don't think it's like a teacher when I hear "teacher", but since I'm a novelist, I'm not a teacher, but I wonder if it was a teacher

"Ah, no. It's just setting up to escape the job question. When we first met, I was in the sixth grade, and my teacher was in her late twenties, so... it would be suspicious to be with her."

... Faye and Mr. Ruggiros, who don't know the job questions, have a face like "I don't know", so they explain the job questions in a flash. When children of elementary school age and their parents walk together, they are suspected of kidnapping and other crimes.

"... that is, you pretended to be a teacher and a student when walking with a child you just met?"

"Yeah. That's right. So I decided to call you" teacher, "and I've been calling you" teacher "ever since."

The relationship between me and my teacher is like that. [M] He said that he stumbled upon a strange encounter and then went on to have a relationship that he didn't really understand.

I call my teacher "teacher", but I don't feel like a teacher or a student, and my friends are somewhat different.... I think the teacher used to say "like" or something like that about me.

Yes. We met once in a wide world, an unusual, homogeneous creature. Yeah. That kind of stuff.

"Hey, Turbo. Can you tell me more about this' teacher 'story?"

"If Third Princess Raj had dreamed of it, this book would have some meaning." I don't have any other clues. Talk to me as much as you can. "

"Yeah. Okay."

Before Faye and Mr. Lugulos got into the position of listening to each other while relaxing their postures, I decided to talk about the teacher.

I've never told anyone about my teacher before. I'm a little nervous.

"The teacher is the one who helped me." My heart has been saved many times, my health has been helped by the provision of food... and my life has been saved. When we first met. At that time, I was 12 years old. "

When I first said that, Faye opened her eyes a little, and Mr. Rugulos narrowed them a little.

I saved your life. Chengdu was attacked by a monster.

"No, because there are no monsters in my world..."

Mr. Rugulos, there's nothing fantastic about my world.

And if there were a monster, neither I nor my teacher would be able to fight, so I think both of us would have been eaten in plenty. Well, I'm a little girl, and my teacher is a "chicken galabody", and I probably don't have time to eat it.

"Um... well, I'm a little embarrassed, but..."

I still think that the "monster attacked me and I'm dying" is more attractive, but if I don't talk here, I won't understand, so I can't help it.

"I was about to jump into the river in the middle of winter and kill myself in the water."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Why, why!? Why did a 12-year-old kid commit suicide in the water!?"

Ah, yeah, that's right. Do I need a motive? Um... it's hard to explain, and this too.

"Um... it's hard to explain, but, well... I dropped out for the junior high school entrance exam..."

So I'm also going to talk about my world's preschool system and the difference in lifetime wages due to my education... the more I talk about it, the more Faye is going to cry.

"Hey, why did you... why did you die so badly after falling for the exam...?"

"Well, it was worth dying for me at the time, so..."

Now I think Faye is right, but it's "why". But for me at the time, it was definitely the best choice to jump into the river. I don't want to deny it.

... the day after the announcement of the passing of the secondary school exam. When I got home from elementary school, there were no lights in the room and it was dim. Mother was sitting on a chair in the living room, with her elbows on the table and her forehead on her hand, stood still and sometimes sighed. I couldn't have realized I was back, but my mother didn't move at all, and I didn't know what to do, so I stood in the living room for a while.

The only thing that filled my head was that I had made irreversible failures. Sometimes, such facts as "the public is bad" and "education expenses have been wasted" were mixed and swirl. In the end, I did not drop Landcel, but went back to the door again, put on my shoes, went out, and started walking towards the neighbor's river.

I can't get it back. I can't get it back. I can't get it back. It's not perfect anymore, and the wounds I've had will last forever. I don't know... but I think you'd be happier if you didn't know. That's why I'm a little relieved to see Faye's face saying, "Why?"

"... I don't know."

On the other hand, Mr. Rugulos said so, with a sinister look on his face.

"... I see."

"It's better to cut it off quickly than to keep on sloppy life that is no longer perfect. It was better not to lose the battle than to keep losing it. I'm not living to lose. I understand the idea."

Having said that, Mr. Rugulos... looked extremely bitter.

"... well, I thought so myself, but I couldn't break it, so I'm here now."

"Oh, ahhh... thank you for not breaking it... thank you, yeah, really..."

Faye stood up flutteringly and went near Mr. Rugulos. She began to pummel him on her back, regardless of the disgusting Mr. Rugulos. I was a little shocked by Faye. I hate Mr. Rugulos. I hate it. But I feel the same way too, so please let me do it.

"Well, right after I tried to jump into the river, the teacher grabbed me and dragged me back..."

... I'm going to resume the conversation. Faye seemed to be in a lot of shock, and now we're sitting side by side in a row. I'm in Faye's right hand. On my left hand, Mr. Rugulos.

"After that, the teacher didn't want to send me home or contact the school, but took me to the cafe, where I talked for a while..."

A cafe where coffee is not delicious but everything else is delicious. It was that day that I first entered there. The master of the cafe said, "Unen-sensei, is this a kidnapping? 'We drank cocoa filled with marshmallows in the warm seats of the shop." So... "

"... that's where my teacher told me." "As long as I continue to like painting, I can survive all experiences."

Yes, the teacher taught me. As creatures of the same kind who create things.

"It's all the bait for the brush." Thoughts and experiences are all ingredients in my paintings. No matter how much I hate them, they're all for painting, and I can't swallow them. Swallow it, digest it, and convert it into something you love. That's how you can get through anything. "

"That's why I draw and the teacher writes." We die and we don't stop. [M] We can live by shaking, and we live by shaking. That's the happiest and strongest creature I've ever seen. "

"...... I finally get it."

All of a sudden, Faye says next to me.

“Now I know why you like to paint so much. You... you're gonna die if you don't draw it, right?"

"Yeah. That's it."

I can live by drawing, and I live to draw. I like to draw, and if I don't keep drawing, I can't live. Drawing is a way for me to overcome difficult things, and it is also a hobby.

"I don't know that."

Ah, yes. I thought Mr. Rugulos might not know one thing right now.

What the hell?

No, really, somehow. Yeah... I don't think this kind of mental fluffy talk seems to be much of a favorite story of Mr. Rugulos. Yeah. That's all.

"... so, well, when it got to the edge, I started talking to the teacher who had reunited with me in the library after I became a junior high school student, and then interrupted my home a lot... I managed to stay alive while having a feast such as tea and mochi while having my paintings drawn at the teacher's house. Yes, the teacher's story is almost over."

Huh, that's where it ends.

"I don't know anything about Busy."

I got a booing from Fay and Mr. Lugulos, but I'm a little embarrassed to hear that.

"Even so, the teacher I know, uh, lives in a single-family house with a garden that was given over to me by my uncle, and he invited me there, and then he wrote a novel while selling it... and I don't really like coffee, noodles and mochi, only a little bit..."

"... do you have any more decent information?"

Even if you say so. No, I'm really in trouble, too!

"In the first place, what is this book?" Are you sure this is the work of the [teacher] you're talking about? "

I'm afraid I don't know if you ask me a question, Mr. Rugulos.

"I've never read a book written by a teacher." "The teacher is embarrassed..." Therefore, I do not know whether this book is the work of the teacher. [M] It might have written something like this. "

If you insist, give me this much information and say yes, it's over. There's really nothing more we can do.

”I see... you've never read that teacher's book before”

“Yeah, I've seen your books lined up on the bookshelf, but I've only seen the titles.”

... Actually, I've only seen one page. Um, "Idea Blue" is just a little bullshit. But it's hard to say that I've read it.

"By the way, what was the title like?" As long as you remember, just say it. I don't know what the clue is... Look, this signature seems to have changed its shape as soon as you noticed the [Universe Protection], and the title might even come out like this! "

"When I call the title, it comes out, no, no, no, no..."

"Um... sure, 'the gods don't smile at mermaids on the battlefield'"

Well, that's what I said, thinking it was no good.... and then...

Twisting, twisting, twisting.

... the pattern on the frame of the cover moved, and a cover was created inside the frame.

The cover... is ready.
