The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

193 The heart that began to melt

"Hey, Kelfa. You've only been awake since the beginning."

Let's just ask a question.

I don't feel like I can hear you out, but it's very important.

"Sounds like he was talking to Soma about something, but what was he saying?

"What... I was just trying to get me back."

"... really?

If he really wanted to bring Kelfa back, he should have taken Kelfa and traveled instantly, shouldn't he?

Seems like he's been hiding things from me for a long time, and you can't unconditionally believe what this kid says...

"What's that? You told me I was lying."

"Ugh..."

"Sister, don't you like me? I was about to be exposed to my enemies, and I stuck with them like that."

"Oh, that's..."

But if you say so, there's nothing you can do.

I'm just suspicious, and there's nothing to prove.

Kerfa made me feel like Giroli, and I got stuck with the words.

"Well, Kelfa, when you get there. Kirier's in front of Beat, too. You're distracted. Killier is still a kid, even if he looks like an adult."

and here mr. Grina enters arbitration (chuckles).

Riff is half-baked in the wretched mood between me and Kelfa.

And to Todome,

"... Huh!

Beato "meh" me.

If this happens, you can't pursue it any further.

"Uh... sorry, I couldn't grow up"

"Hum..."

I bowed my head down and I was flabbergasted.

It's okay.

"... eh"

Instead, Beat made me look like a smart kid.

Yeah, I think this kid is an angel after all.

Then Beat, half-baked riff by that kid.

Yeah, I think she's the Virgin without exaggeration.

"Whoa, we're back. Not one of them's gone. They're all safe."

Gachari and Tobila opened up, and the leader came back.

It's a slightly mixed smile, unlike the pressing feeling when I left.

Did Soma come to this room first?

The reason why I prioritized Kelfa over anyone else, as I couldn't get my hands on Beato because I was following him...

"If we're all safe, it's above all else. Listen to me, Leader. The Soma guy, apparently Kerfa was after him."

Mr. Grina, Nice.

Before I cut out the story, you told me about it.

"... what?

The expression of the leader sticks at once.

I went all the way to front of Kelfa and placed my hands on both shoulders,

"Hey Kelfa, what's up? Didn't they do something?

I looked him in the eye and asked.

"... yeah, I'm fine"

"Is that true?

…………

Still, staring straight into Kelfa's eyes, the leader inquires.

After a little while, Kerfa turned a blind eye,

"... it's true, brother"

Small, I answered that.

"... right"

That's all short, the leader leaves.

I don't think I'm going to pursue it any further.

It's just about the leader.

I guess you didn't get it the way you said it.

"... Anyway, it's a future discussion with the Ramans now. Grina, you come too."

"Aye. Damn, it's a loud night."

"And Kelfa, you come too. Don't leave me tonight. All right?"

"Brother, but..."

"I'm worried, you know"

"... yeah, I get it"

Kelfa nods and leaves the room with the leader and Mr. Grina.

That kid, you honestly listen to the leader.

You're usually as unfathomable as I am, but your face only looses when you're talking to your leader.

"... Huh"

"... Huh!

Oh, no.

As soon as Mr. Grina is gone, there will be tears all over Riff's eyes.

Beato tries so hard to get over it, but there's no sign of stopping.

"Uh-huh!

I finally cried out as I stuck my bear stuffed animal.

I guess Beato doesn't know what to do anymore, he's even horny.

Even Beat can't handle a crying child.

... I have no choice.

"Beato, hey, sorry"

"... Huh?

Let Beato step aside for a moment and go on the same bed as Riff.

He's pouring tears. I'll hold up your little body and put you on your knees.

Embrace your little body directly from the front, slowly with your back.

"Okay, okay, you scared me, didn't you? All of a sudden someone's scared, and they're all gone, and you're so thin."

"Heh, hiccup..."

"I'm fine now. Because I'll be by your side tonight. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"Hey..., really...? Will you stay with Riff...?

"Yeah, I'm with you. So don't worry about it."

"Huh, hey...... Nice smell..."

I'll tell you gently, Riff kept his face nodded to my chest, closing his eyes slightly,

"Something like that..., sooo..."

He began to sleep quietly.

... Phew, I managed to make it work.

……

"... Beat, that sounds so surprising."

"... Huh!

Bump, Beat sweeping his neck aside with great momentum.

That's sweet, but it says on your face that it's too unexpected?

"... when I look at this girl, I remember Claire."

"... eh"

Beato put his hands up to the wing hair decoration that was holding his forehead together.

Yes, you gave me that hair decoration, my precious sister.

I've never forgotten a single moment, it's important...

"I was just about this kid's age. The back length and atmosphere are similar..."

……

"I used to hang out in the middle of the night, like I do now, and every time I did, it was like this."

I mean, me, you're good at putting a gurgling girl to sleep.

I've never had a chance to show you a stunt like this before.

"... Hey, Beat"

……

When I think of my family, all that floats behind my brain is the nightmare of the moment it's taken away.

A lot of warm time spent by then was all closed to the ice of hate.

But little by little when I met Beato, the cold ice melted away......

I never thought of a day coming when I could remember my family's, my sister's smile and feel so warm.

That's why I wanted to thank Beato.

You're making me wonder. Staring at Beat's face,

"I never thought I'd be able to talk about Claire in such a calm way"

Give my sincere thanks and make it a clear word.

"Thank you, Beato"

"...... Huh!!!

...... hmm?

What's wrong with you?

Beat looks at me and says he saw something incredible.

Then I gossiped around my hips and wondered if I realized I had left my parchment bag, I dropped my shoulder disappointed.

"What's wrong?

…… ...... "

After a little thought, Beat sifts, flutters his neck to the side.

It doesn't feel like anything, but I guess it's because I said something that wasn't even in Gala.

... here we go.

"Shall we go to bed now, too? I'm gonna have to take this kid and sleep with the three of us."

"... eh"

Before I said I'd be by your side until morning, because I can't leave Riff alone.

Keeping this kid stuck, we decided to stay in our room.

Mr. Killier, who went into bed, immediately began to take a nap.

To me and Mr. Killier's manners, Mr. Riff rests easily.

Mr. Killier, too, has a very gentle sleeping face.

"... eh"

Gently flashes the reddish forehead.

Hey, Mr. Killier.

You may not have noticed, but when you said thank you to me, you just laughed a little, didn't you?

Perhaps not far away, even on days when you are naturally funny.

If the time comes, show me your smile, best of all.
