The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"I'm sorry, I'm confused."

"No, I don't think I'm confused." Yours is a very quiet way of disturbing me....... that's the point of protection. When he gets distracted like this, he flies around with a mysterious scream..... "

Ishinokai-san, who had offered me a box of tissues after a while, laughed, apparently remembering something while saying such a thing.

... by the way, there was one. The teacher suddenly stood up from the sofa, bounced vertically, and stared at the ceiling for a while before returning to the sofa. Yes, that's right. I think your 'disturbing' was easier on you than it was on your body...

"Well, that's it." Just to be sure, whatever my sister says, this house is still mine. It is up to me to decide how to use this house. [M] Well, if that's what you want, you can continue to use your room in this house freely. "

"... yes, thank you."

I proudly stretched my chest out and thanked Ishinokai for making a joke. It would have been someone the teacher cared about. I want to take care of it too. [M] Just as Ishino-kai takes care of me. [M]

"That's why your room is fine as it is." Problem is, one way or another, money for protection. It's a passbook, a work contract, but I have to do something about it, my sister.... "

Ishino-kai looked around the living room with a headache.

... the living room that I saw one day. Really, as usual, I just know that a little time has passed. A packet of barley tea is strewn in a pot that smells a little unpleasant. I don't think I can drink this anymore.

In addition, mold is generated in the wrapping of bread that was just lightly tied to the mouth, and the plants near the window are withered. I hurriedly drew water from the kitchen sink and fed the plants. [M] I don't know if it was the forest, but somehow I'm sad to see that the plants are stuck.

I thought I'd get better and water the plants. In the meantime, Ishinokai-san disposes of moldy bread and stale barley tea...

Well then, let's start with the teacher's work.

Yeah. Thank you very much.

I'll start working soon. [M]

... I was just a little proud. I know the newest teacher much more than your relatives, and I'm sure I can make it help the teacher do what she wants.

At the same time, I was lonely and sad. But that kind of thing fades as you move your body.

"Um... I told you that there are three jobs in progress, so maybe that's all of them. Also, I was able to get in touch with the editor who seemed to be the closest to me, and I thought maybe for the time being, it would be okay."

"No, thank you very much, Togo-kun." I managed to do it because of you.... "

Then, an hour later, for the time being, we had to clean up after the teacher's work.

... I found the business cards of the publishers, and I told them that Ishinokai-san had called there, and that the teacher had died. I told them that it was a waste of money, and I told them that Ishinokai-san would be the point of contact... and then, if there was a manuscript left, I would give it to the publisher. What a story...

"No, no, my nephew certainly worked this way, and I'm surprised to find that he was really a novelist."

Ishino-san laughed a little and said so.... you've always been a novelist in front of me. No, well, I was a novelist, a thinker, a strange person.

But from Ishinokai-san's point of view, it must have been a different teacher again. I wonder what it was like. I'm a little curious.

"Well... even so, he didn't leave any analog manuscripts, did he?"

“Yes, I used to work on this laptop or the tablet I usually carry with me.”

"I don't know if there's an external HD or something... can you do that much work with one laptop?" If I had written a lot of novels, I feel like I would be full of data..... "

Hmm, Ishinokai-san roared... and raised the ceiling.

"I thought I should send his manuscript to the editor, but I don't know what to do with it."

... yes.

We're looking for your manuscript.

Cleaning up after the teacher's work is the same thing... thank God.

I have an unfinished manuscript to look for.

"Then, is it really all in this laptop?" I'm in trouble.

Ishino-kai scratches her head as she looks at her laptop, which remains closed. Well, that's right. Computers usually have passwords on them.

"It's a pretty good computer, isn't it?" When did you buy it? "

"Um, last year. I bought it in a hurry because the one I've been using is finally going to die..."

I remember when the teacher said, "Togo! Look! Keep it at this angle and the screen will light up, but knock it down a little more and the screen will disappear! Maybe this is the end of my life! While saying ', you showed me the old computer.... and a teacher who was like," I'm going to get burned and enjoy this situation. "

"That's right, Doctor, I think I'm using a USB flash drive, will you look for it? Ahh, but can't you check the contents because I don't have a computer....."

"Ah, no, no. Then it's okay. I have exactly one computer. See?"

Aside from the burning teacher, I remembered that if I couldn't see the computer, I would look at the USB, and when I was stuck on my right, Ishino-kai took it out of my bag and showed me a small computer that looked like an electronic dictionary.

Yeah. Really, a little computer. The key sequence is so messed up. If you say it seems easy to use, it seems a little difficult to use. But it's small and kind of cute.

"... it's cute, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess so. It must be cute. No, I really don't like these kinds of UMPCs..."

Ishino-kai is stroking a small computer while clutching it. Computers would be happy if they were so cute. Maybe.

While thinking about my computer's happiness, I found my teacher's USB stick immediately. Doctor, I knew all of this right away because it was in the drawer in the living room.

"Good. I'm sorry if any of these... naughty images were saved, Guard..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Saying something indescribable, after taking a nagging, awe-inspiring pose, Ishinokai-san connected his wand and USB memory to a small computer...

"... all the extensions are [.txt]!" What a stoic thing... there are no naughty images... "

While raising a slightly misleading exclamation voice, he opens up some data, checks it, and nods, hmm, compared to the notes he seemed to have taken when talking to the editors on the phone earlier.

"Hmm. Well, the date and time of the update is quite interesting, but it looks like there's some in here for now." The newest thing is that last week was the date and time of the update, so I wonder if you can expect it there. "

Can I see it, too?

"Well, I guess that's fine." This is how we're made to work, so let's make it a waste of money to let us read it a little bit, Togo-kun. "

When I peered from the side, Ishinokai left my small computer with me. Say thanks and look at the screen.

... a small screen on a small computer is lined with small letters. I'll go after it with my own eyes...... and look for it. I was wondering if the world I was in was misplaced.

"Hmm... no, I don't think so."

After about five minutes, I came to that conclusion. [M] The USB stick didn't contain the story of the world I was in. I'm in trouble.

Oh, was there something you were looking for?

Ishino-kai peers into my face and looks a little strange. That would be true. I have no reason to look for your manuscript for any reason. [M]

Still, I have to ask. To protect a world of gentle, warm and beautiful flying paintings.

"Um... it's a very strange request, but..."

When I cut it out, Ishino-kai nodded and bowed. My gaze fits properly. My eyes meet and I feel like I'm facing each other.

"... if there's an incomplete fantasy novel written by you, I'd like you to read it... and then I'd like you to forgive me for continuing the novel."

When I said that, Ishinomi-san thought for a second... and smiled very much like Sensei.

"Of course I don't mind." I'm interested in that, too. Adults might say fantasy, but, well, fantasy novels are good. I would definitely like to read it. Besides, I'm also interested in your paintings..... "

That's what I said, and then Ishinokai-san put his hands together as if he had noticed.

"... ah, but if we publish it or something like that, it's going to be a bit of a hassle..."

"Um, you don't have to publish it. However, if you let me paint a picture that seems to be a continuation...... then......"

I was also in a hurry, and somehow I clenched my hands and replied, Ishino-kai said, "Is that so? 'And he leaned his neck, and stood still, and stopped his hand. So I, too, hold my hand tightly.

"So, what are you trying to do that for?" Oh, of course, there's no reason... "

"... maybe it's just to sort out my feelings"

Then, while answering Ishinokai-san who asked, I think this is also true.

Everything in that world is an illusion, everything is a dream, even if it's just a hallucination I've been seeing.

Still, I have to finish the world properly inside me.

When it ends, it doesn't mean it breaks off... but it goes on forever and ever after, and I feel close to creating eternity.

... I want to make the world a happy place. I want to believe that there's a world like that somewhere. In order to convince myself in that way, I need the completion of the world created by the teacher...

"... really?"

When I thought about it, I was surprised to hear that from Mr. Ishino-kai.

Ishinokai-san was staring at me in amazement... with some sparkling eyes.

Sometimes the doctor also had this look on his face. It's like a time to reveal the secrets of the world. Looks like it's time to gaze at a piece of beautiful, precious stuff. That's the look on your face.

It's a look of fantasy.

"... I can't just burn down the world I love."

That's why I decided to confess.

"Um, it's a very strange story... I want you to hear it with a body called a fictional story... but I was in the story written by the teacher."

Then I told Ishino-kai about the world.

A strange magic that comes out when I draw it. Lovely people living in the neighborhood. Abundant nature. Beautiful views. Delicious rice. Bold birds. Lovely creatures. A world to love.

I told you that everything you've learned and everything you feel is a treasure, so you can't lose it.

I couldn't tell you all about how much I loved that world, how much it loved me, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't touch my feelings as much as I could.

But I talked about that world. To make sure. Or to have someone check it out.

... and while I was talking, Ishinomi-san listened with his eyes twinkled... and when I finished speaking.

Nice!

Yes, he said it with a full smile.

Yeah, that's really nice, Togo-kun!

Um, can you believe me?

When I asked Ishinokai-san, who was somewhat clumsy, if it was really good...

"Well, you can also conclude all the dreams you've been dreaming about." Nothing can prove that you were in another world. [M] Perhaps it was the result of sleep learning that your painting power improved, or perhaps you were so good at painting in the first place. [M] As for the burns in the palm of my hand, I've heard that humans seem to get burned by just assumptions... well, I can say that they fall within the range of hallucinations. "

Oh, I see. I've heard that from my teacher. "If I cut the blindfolded person's wrist a bit and let it bleed while wetting it with lukewarm water, it would bleed to death by just assumption"...... "I see, so humans get burned..."

A little depressed, I stare at my palm. I can hardly feel anything anymore. It was not very pleasant that the burn had healed. I missed you because you lost your connection to the world.

... but...

"But that's a tough one." I'll believe it. [M] I want to believe that there is such a wonderful world! "

Ishino-san said cheerfully. Stand up majestically.... that figure is a bit dazzling.

"It doesn't matter if you're taking it easy or making it up!" If it's fun to save us, it can't be helped! ”

That being said, Ishinokai-san... sits in front of her laptop, which is left on the dining table...

"Good. Then there's only one thing we need to do."... this laptop is a strategy! "

I opened my laptop vigorously.

It seems that she was only in sleep mode. She immediately got up... and displayed the lock screen.

Press the Enter key and you're on the password entry screen. Keep your username as it is, "Yuki Ueno". That's enough. But in order to proceed from here, you need to enter your password.

"It's kind of exciting. You mean hacking? But I wonder if cracking is the right thing to do. Well, that's fine... it's kind of exciting."

"Yes, I'm a little excited..."

"But, well, if you work harder and harder, you might open it." Well, he's the one who tries things. If it doesn't work, I'll think about it again... "

While sitting beside Ishinomi-san, I stare at the screen with some excitement.

It may be a reality, an escape. But this is what excites us a little bit, because we definitely need it now.

That's why... I'm sure the teacher will laugh and forgive me. Let me guess, Doctor.

Now, let's do it.

Then Ishino-kai said, "Well, is this the first time?" and typed "password". Oh, no.

Next, I also typed "ahhhhh". I couldn't. "Togo, can you think of anything? I was asked, so I typed" Ukiaki Usui ", but it was no good. Well, yeah.

"Oh, here comes the clever one."

However, if I continued to make mistakes, a "password hint" string appeared below the password entry field. Ishino-kai sees it and clicks on it happily.

... and then...

Other than coffee and noodles. In charge of Togo. '

"That's the kind of sentence that came out..."

Coffee and noodles are foods that the teacher hates.

And then... if you say anything else... moreover, I'll be in charge...

'moti'.

Enter that, Enter. The text "Welcome" is then displayed lightly on the screen.

... oh, my God, Sensei!

Password 4 characters is too fragile, Doctor!
