The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the night.

Such a loose, loose awakening, like a fluttering wobble of your loosely rising consciousness floating on top of a thick drowsiness. After all, you'll soon sink into a wave of drowsiness and fall asleep.

"... I also know that yours has saved the life of the cane"

My consciousness can be pulled up. Laocles' voice called me by my name.

Whatever it is, I listened softly to the conversation between Laocles and the teacher, who seemed to be still awake.

“I'm grateful. It's more about saving the cane than it was about creating me and this world."

Listening to the quiet voice of Laocles, I can't help but feel it.

I don't know the context before and after, but I can fully understand the fact that Laocles and the teacher care about me very much.

"... I'm glad you can say that." If I can save Togo, then I can die after I've done my job properly. "

The teacher's words are very lonely. I'm glad you don't care about me. [M] I wish my teacher had lived to say I was dead. I think so.

"However, I don't even think that this is a convenient delusion that I created." This world is too convenient for me. [M] At the same time, it's a world I created. Well... maybe I'm too old to dye my core with convenient fantasy. "

And yet, I regret it a little.

...... I thought it was wrong to draw Sensei. Suddenly, such feelings and guilt passed through my chest.

It's not about ethics, it's about the teacher.

To Sensei, being in this world... is it really a happy thing? Suddenly, after thinking about it, I got really scared...

"But... well, if it's convenient for you, that's it!"

... but when I heard Sensei say that and laugh at the shards, the fear inside me dissolved and disappeared.

"Togo is safe. I can continue to write novels. This world is beautiful, interesting, and ever gentle....... I've lived to get the dirtyness and ambiguity that I can sweeten by breaking the" reality "that's too convenient for me. I'm going to enjoy it as much as I want."

“Yeah. Do it. I think you'd be better suited.”

Laocles also laughed, and the two of them relaxed and drank the contents of the glass.

"... so you can keep an eye on Turtle." If I die, I won't be able to take care of him anymore. "

In addition, Laocles said that, and cut the contents of the bottle into cups between himself and the teacher.

"I see. I'm glad to hear that. Yes. Togo brought me back to life, and I have the right to see Togo grow. Hmm, whatever your convenience, well, it's a happy thing, isn't it?"

The teacher pours the contents of the bottle into the cup as they empty the contents of the cup. Doctor, isn't alcohol the weaker one? I wonder if it's okay.

Well, here's to Togo's future growth!

The teacher slowly diminishes the contents of the cup. Then, "This is delicious," and I look at the surface of the alcohol with my eyes like I'm looking at a beautiful jewel.

"... are you okay to drink so much?" It's not very strong on alcohol, is it? "

"Haha. Well. Well, that's right... actually, Lao Cres. Togo has never seen me go to bed drinking!"

If you say so, yes. I've never seen my teacher drink alcohol before.

...... The teacher sneaks a peek into the blanket and sneaks into his head, a little sleepy, pleasant but somewhat lonely, with such a face. Besides, my face is red because of alcohol, and it is somehow red from the place where the collar of the yukata is opened to the neck and chest.

I was the first teacher to see it. Oh, you're an adult, aren't you? There's something I don't know.

... more than the figure of the teacher I didn't know or think of, I'm sure that the teacher here is more than I've drawn.

"Successful. 'That's what I'm doing.'"

"Yes, I'm a bad adult."

"Huh?" must be true.

The teacher giggled, sipped a drink and emptied the glass, then put the glass back on the table in a slightly awkward manner......

... slumped and collapsed into place.

“I just grew up”

All at once I got scared and jumped out of the futon. [M] Besides, Lao Cres had a surprised face, but above all, I checked the teacher's condition...

Guuu

... I checked with the sleeping teacher.

"... I'm sleeping"

"What the hell..."

The teacher is sleeping with a refreshing sleep. Sleep well. I collapsed so suddenly, I knew it... I thought that Sensei was dead again, but I was so scared... Sensei is sleeping well!

"Nnnnnh..."

My body completely loses its strength, and the teacher slips away nicely on the spot and collapses.

"Was it true that you were vulnerable to alcohol..."

I guess so. But I can't believe you're sleeping like this.

When I felt like I wasn't moving anymore, Lao Cres lifted me up and sat me down again. I can't help but return to human form. [M]

"... were you listening to me?"

"...... just a little bit, right?"

Looking at the awkward face of Lao Cres, it felt like some kind of prank had succeeded.

"I've never seen a teacher like this before."

While trying to fix the collar of the open yukata, I decided to give up and leave it alone because it won't be fixed.

"You don't have to think about me." More... more, Sensei, I think there's a lot of things I want to do, no, I think there's something... no. "

But I also know that this is not what I should think.

"That's not true." Um, "I'm happy." I'm happy to have you feel this way. "

"... I see."

"So, the teacher is the [bad adult] inside." Right. That's right. "

Laocles looked down at me gently and put a big hand on my head. It feels warm, ticklish, and somewhat unbearable.

"I want to grow up quickly." Then you and your teacher can drink alcohol, right? "

Will there come a day when I can hear directly what the stolen teacher has said? Someday, I'll be able to support the teacher.

... when you come, it's good. Corner, the teacher is still here. Someone I could not have been with as an adult would be here.

You seem weak for booze, too.

"Yeah, I'll be careful." Don't fall asleep like this. "

When I answered that, Lao Cres laughed a little and slapped me on the head.

Asked to go to bed, I dive into the futon. [M]

Then the teacher is carried in the futon next to me. The teacher who was transported to Laocles was put down on the futon next to me, his glasses were removed, and he was covered with a puffy comforter and blanket. Lao Cres' slumber power is also effective against teachers. No, Doctor, I'm already asleep.

Then I saw Laocles lying on the futon next to the teacher and put on the futon, and I wrapped myself in the futon again and decided to fall asleep.

... tomorrow morning, if I can get up earlier than the teacher, I'll draw the sleeping teacher.

The next morning.

Words are done!

"You've been fine since morning, you..."

Fufu, while being gazed at by Faye, who seemed sleepy, I quickly executed my words. I'll draw you a sleeping teacher!

While drawing the texture of the cloth with a little tension on the futon and the appearance of how soft and wrinkled the yukata the teacher is wearing, I draw the teacher who is quietly sleeping. It's a gentle sleeping face that's a little disgusting.

"Are you painting the sleeping face of the eel shell?"

Yeah.

Faye seemed to wake up a little dazed, and came up to me and started staring at me.

Ahh, I knew it wasn't the same as before.

Huh?

And Faye nodded convincedly, so she turned to Faye unintentionally. Then, there was Faye with a slightly happy face.

"Look, when the eel shells were inside the coffin, At that time, it was also drawn by the cane, wasn't it?"

... yes.

"But after all, when I was drawing when I was dead and now I'm sleeping, the atmosphere of the painting is completely different."

"That's right, that's how I feel."

Faye sits on the side and says, "You know what?" I'm also sitting there. As you're happy, you move your pencil.

The sleeping teacher has a completely different face than the dead teacher. It's calmer, it's noisier. I think it's good to sound like a teacher when you're sleeping like "supi, supi... supi". And, somehow... you have a sense of life. Is it a half-open mouth? The collar seems to have opened more while I was sleeping. Is it a yukata that has become wrinkled? It was a curly futon.

Naturally, that's what my paintings look like. The point is, the painting of a living person.

I was so happy that I kept moving my pencil. [M]

... the teacher is alive. I'm so, so happy about that.

Finally, that's how you feel.

Then, a little while later, Lao Cres suddenly woke up. When I saw Faye and I were awake, I said, "Did you oversleep?" It wasn't like that.

After a while, Lian woke up, and the teacher woke up while she was waiting. The teacher looked at my painting and said, "Oh, my God! I didn't expect you to seriously observe my sleeping face! No! Togo's naughty! 'and said something I didn't quite understand. I'm not naughty!

And the most amazing thing was Mr. Rugulos. Even when we wake up, Mr. Rugulos leaks out his voice like he's snoring in the back of his throat, hugs the futon, and turns to his side. Cheng Cheng. Mr. Rugulos seems to be weak in the morning.

I couldn't help it, so I picked up the Demon King who was walking in front of the teacher's house and put him on Mr. Rugulos's face. Ms. Rugulos inhaled the Devil King's breath and was in a great hurry to get up. "Are you going to kill me!" I was angry, but we were busy celebrating the demon king's "achievements in waking up Mr. Rugulos", so I ignored Mr. Rugulos' protest.

"Then I reheated the leftovers from last night and ate them for breakfast..."

"Now, let's get this over with..."

"A sleepover full of bastards is such a terrible way to clean up after yourself."

"Well, if we all do it together, it won't be that way." Isn't that right? "

We all clean up empty bottles, packages of sweets, and so on. Well, there's loneliness in cleaning up after yourself, but it's pretty much fun if we all do it together.

"At the same time, I think we should do a big cleaning." No, it's a new building. This year, I'll let you shake it off. "

"Next year, you can ask the demon king to clean up after you." If you touch the demon king, all the garbage and dirt will become clean in an instant. "

While talking to the teacher like that, I also told Faye and Lian, who came to listen to our story, that "the bathroom and kitchen in my house have become slippery and shiny by the demon king"...

"...... Hey, Turtle. Didn't you ask the Demon King to clean up after you?"

"... yes..."

Well... it's not good to rely on the Demon King for anything. Yeah. Let's do that.

... Now.

Then we'll disperse... and go to Crore. Why? Well, at the time of the overnight party, Crore said, "Oh, isn't that okay? But I envy you a little. Well, you can report it when you're done. Until then, I'll stay out of your way." It's over, so I'll report it.

I imagined that Crore would be at the Fairy Café. So we headed for the fairy cafe before it opened...

Kroa-san! Please marry me!

... so we went to the scene where an unknown man proposed with a bouquet of flowers.
