I was coming home with Mr. Faraes and Mr. Cannon.

I still didn't finish cleaning up Mr. Cannon's room, so it was meant to be another day.

"Welcome home, lady, Mr. Slade. And it's been a while, Mr. Cannon."

"Welcome, Mr. Cannon."

"Regards, Mr. Cannon"

Cretta, Celia, and Sona will welcome us back.

Then Mr. Cannon's expression changes.

"You've all welcomed me, thank you"

Mr. Cannon, happy to say so, leaves in front of Cretta.

And slowly open your mouth.

"Wow, Cretta, you've grown up"

"Right. It's been so long since I've seen you in a while."

Apparently, Mr. Cannon is surprised at Cretta's growth.

Even though Faraes is sometimes seen at the base, Cretta is not. So, I guess it's been quite a while since we've been reunited.

"Become an adult..."

"Um, Mr. Cannon? Your gaze is kind of nasty, isn't it?

Mr. Cannon watched as he tasted the whole body of Cretta.

The boulder cletta, too, seems to be ashamed of that gaze.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That was rude."

Because he pointed it out, Mr. Cannon stopped doing that, too.

And slowly move in front of Celia, next door.

"Celia shaken it yesterday."

"Yes, I'm glad Mr. Cannon is better"

"hehe, thanks"

Mr. Cannon said that to Celia as she stroked Celia's head.

After all, they all seem to want to stroke their heads watching Celia.

That's all I'm saying, Mr. Cannon travels to the front of Sona.

"Has it been quite a while, too, Sona?

"Yes, that's right"

"From now on, it would be helpful if the deputy captains could get along with each other."

"Yes, of course."

Mr. Cannon had such a conversation with Sona.

Speaking of which, I'm the same deputy captain, so maybe we can talk about something.

"I can't believe you're living with such cute kids, Slade. You have a good mind, too."

"Huh?"

So Mr. Cannon spoke to me.

The question is a little difficult to answer.

In this case, what is the right answer?

"Hehe..."

I was worried, but Mr. Cannon hasn't pursued me any more specifically.

Nothing, wasn't it a question?

"Now, gentlemen, let's move to the dining room."

"Dining room?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Oh, let's do that"

So, that's what Cletta said.

To the words, Mr. Cannon leaned his neck, but me and Faraes nodded.

Because I understand what that destination means.

With Cretta's lead, we started walking. Mr. Cannon, too, seemed a little suspicious, but he would follow us.

Walk for a while and you'll be in the dining room.

"Well, then, you can open it"

And Cletta slowly opens the door, and you can see what's going on inside.

"Ko, this is..."

There was a decorated dining room.

Mr. Cannon seems surprised by how it goes.

"What kind of noise is this?

"It's Mr. Cannon's welcome party!

"We're all celebrating Mr. Cannon's arrival!

Celia and Sona answered Ms Cannon's question.

This time, while me and Faraes were helping Mr. Cannon move, I was asking the other three to prepare for the welcome party.

"Oh, you did...... thank you guys"

Though Mr. Cannon was a little surprised, he immediately looked happy.

Apparently, he's happy for me.

This is how our welcome party with Mr. Cannon began.

◇ ◇ ◇

We were having dinner with Mr. Cannon.

Cretta's cooking is as luxurious as it was in Sona.

"It's been a while since I've had Cretta's cooking. It's really delicious."

"Thank you, Mr. Cannon"

Mr. Cannon praised Cretta for saying so.

I used to come to this house, so I guess that's when I ate Cretta's food too.

Again, Cretta's food looks delicious.

"Cretta, by the way"

"Huh? Yes? What is it?

"Is there no alcohol in this house?

In the meantime, Mr. Cannon said so.

Apparently, he wanted to drink. Though I've reflected a lot, it hasn't changed my liking for alcohol, so is that natural too?

"Ah, yes. I'll have it ready for you."

"Really? Well, can you do me a favor?

"Yes, I understand"

Following Mr. Cannon's words, Cretta took a seat once.

And soon, I'll be back with a liquor bottle or something.

"Oh this is it, this is it. Thank you."

"Yes, go ahead"

"Oh, thank you so much."

"No, no"

In Mr. Cannon's glass, Cretta pours the liquor.

"Ah!"

So, Mr. Cannon raised his voice as he came up with it.

The gaze is toward Cretta.

"Speaking of which, Cretta's old enough to drink, right?

"Oh, yes. It is."

"Then let's drink Cretta too."

Mr. Cannon began to make such suggestions.

Sure, Cretta's older than me, so she's old enough to drink.

However, is Cretta resistant to alcohol?

"Right. Because of this, let me ask you something for a while."

"Oh? Not really, you weren't drinking?

"Yes, because you're not that strong."

"Oh, you are. Then don't do it if you can't."

Apparently, I've decided to drink Cretta too.

But he's not very strong. Is it really okay?

"Slade, you're gonna drink too, right?

"Huh?"

"Look, you promised, didn't you?

So, Mr. Cannon tells me a story.

Sure, we talked about that in Mr. Cannon's room.

But I'm a little frightened because I didn't expect that opportunity to come so soon.

If possible, I wanted to try a few drinks and then come to this occasion.

"Right, I'll have it"

"Right, but, Slade, don't push yourself either."

"Yes."

But he's here, so I can't help it.

Let's just say I'm ready, too, to drink.

"I envy you both... I would have liked to have a drink with Mr. Cannon too..."

"Lady..."

Faraes has said that to us.

Faraes seems to have a strong commitment to doing something with Mr. Cannon.

"Well, Faraes is in the next year too, so you'll be patient. Come on, both of you, I'll pour it for you."

"Oh, thank you"

"Thank you"

Mr. Cannon will pour alcohol into my glass and Cretta's.

Finally, we're going to be drinking.

I'm a little worried, but I'm sure you'll be fine.

"Well, then, both of you, cheers!

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

We'll toast to each other with a glass, then we'll drink.

This indescribable taste tells me that this is alcohol.

"Ugh..."

I don't know, I just drank a little, but it feels weird. My body gets hot and my head gets a little confused.

But it makes me feel a little better, so it's a strange thing.

"Ugh... Long time no see, it's still amazing..."

Perhaps Cretta is in the same sensation.

After all, maybe you can't if you're not used to it.

No, is that not true? I don't know, I don't really get my thoughts together.

"Oh, I knew it was this..."

Mr. Cannon seems fine compared to us like that.

I'm a person who usually drinks it, so I guess it's intolerable.

As such, Mr. Cannon's welcoming party went on.
