When she entered the room on the second floor of the simplified tent, she saw Rune wearing a futon over her head on the bed.

Speaking of which, when this room was flown to the human continent, it was a room where the three of Richard and Ronnie slept together, and I remember it soundly.It was cramped, but that reassurance was terrible. The three of you slept together. I kind of miss it.

Da-da!

Ugh, Megu

When you hold the rune from behind the gabber and the futon, the rune responds politely, rubbing his nose. It's cute.

"Rune, what is it?Didn't we talk a little when we took a bath together?I knew you'd be more anxious. "

"Hmm! How do you know?"

When she shouted while holding the rune in her arms, she felt the rune wandering around in surprise.

I knew it! Somehow, Rune seemed anxious.I did, somehow.

"I'm just as worried about you as you are about me."

"Meg, too...?"

When I let go of the arm I was holding gently, Rune finally pulled me out of the futon.My nose became red because I was crying.

I took the towel out of the storage magic equipment.It's wet and cold and warm.When I was little, Gil often gave it to me when I cried.Recently, I stopped crying, so it feels like an old story.

I kind of remember a lot of things I missed earlier.

"Everyone seems to be getting older and older, and I'm always worried.Look, I'm slow to grow, right?That's what I think. "

"I see...."

"Even if you look at the rune, you'll be in a hurry.Looking at the runes that set future goals and headed straight toward them, I was still there. "

Was that what you thought?And Rune rounded her eyes.That's what I was thinking.I always envied Rune. Everyone was envious.Because my goal is not set.

The future of becoming a demon king has been decided.But I'm not ready to catch up.Because the feeling of wanting to be in Ortus is stronger.

That's why I can't go anywhere yet.I'm just living right now and trying to train nauseously.

People who work hard with goals are so jealous, they seem to be left behind, and they're always lonely and painful.

When people think they're going to grow up in no time, there's nothing they can do about it.

But I know that envy doesn't change anything.After all, we can only do what we can now.

If the time comes, you may be able to make decisions and prepare, and you may not be able to do so.

I just don't want to do anything I absolutely regret.I want to grasp a future that I can convince myself of. Someday, I'm sure.

"In the case of Runes, you miss the nearest Goo so quickly he's grown up, right?"

"That's right... that's right! I had to pull you a little while ago.Someday it got calm. "

Rune raised her face and held her fist as she raised her eyes.

"I decided on my own what I was just saying about the future, and I tried to move forward.I'm always desperate, too.Failure and depression!Say something like I'm doing all kinds of things easily!That's so annoying! "

Rune spits out quickly so that she won't stop saying it once.Slightly pushed by that momentum, I listened in silence.

"But why didn't you talk to me?That was the shock...It feels like I'm still a child... "

And the rune grew up there again.Your head is dripping and you're about to cry again.

"Just because you're twins doesn't mean you grow at the same speed and timing, right?If you notice, Rune might be a lot older. "

"Well, you can see that in your head...."

It's not rational, is it?I don't know about the future, and now it's all about us.But I think that's all I can say.

"I think the fact that Rune is worried is evidence that Rune is growing."

Well, what do you mean?

"I mean, if I were a kid, I wouldn't be bothered by that."

Seeing someone close to you grow up and feeling anxious is a sign that your mind is growing.

You don't want to be an adult, or you want to be an adult quickly.It may also be a problem unique to puberty.

"Wow, I don't want to be an adult if I feel so bad!"

"Really, it's a lot of trouble, mind."

Bohu and Rune fell on their back to bed, so I fell in the same way next to them.Then I glanced at each other and giggled.Looks like Rune's expression is getting brighter.

"But I don't like what it's like to grow up as a child.Maybe it's the pain you need to stop it. "

And he said that as if he had noticed something.

Ah, I know that very well and my ears hurt.I was a good old adult in my previous life, but I'm a little unconvinced when asked if the contents were proper adults.

I'm pretty good at my job, and I think I'm an adult.But there were a lot of things I thought I was still a child.

... or maybe that part won't be gone forever?What is a full adult? What is adult definition?If you talk like that, you'll run out of milk.

Yeah, there are times when everyone was a child.I can't help it when I grow up and the part of my child comes out accidentally.

Or maybe it's an adult who can realize that she was a child. Ah, it's hard.

But what I can assure you is that the puberty that troubles Gudaguda now is troublesome anyway!

A little thing floats and sinks, and I think deeply and in vain.I want to live in more noble weather!

"It's inevitable that everyone will grow up first or later.You may have a lot to worry about, but here, let's talk about it again.So, let's talk about how hard it was when you grew up. "

"That might be fun.... yeah, I'm starting to feel like it's not too bad to grow up!"

I think we'll be worried for a while.But I still think I can do it now.Because I have someone to talk to. Friends are wonderful!

After laughing at each other, Rune suddenly woke up.Then I'm sorry about the paddle and the squeaking.

"I'm sorry, Meg! I'm going to sleep in the room with Goo today!"

Fufu, you miss Goo.Good, you're willing to talk.We haven't made up yet, but these two are fine.

When I agreed in two replies, I dropped Rune off in a hurry.

Shh, shh! I'm going to go to bed early.I have to work hard from tomorrow!I hope we can meet the two smiles in the morning.

The next morning, as I was preparing my breakfast in the simplified tent, I heard clattering footsteps rushing down the stairs.There were two footsteps. Did you make up?

"Ugh, I fell asleep!!"

"I'm really sorry, Meg!!"

When I heard you two talking in the same bed last night, I was asleep sometime.

What, it's just imaginary and cute.And I know how it feels. I've done the same before!!When you feel a person's body temperature, you sleep well. That can't be helped.

"I'll try my best today!"

"Oops, I will attack you once and for all!"

I didn't talk about it yesterday, but I can tell at a glance.That's the twin of Anuras.They were originally bound by deep bonds, but they felt stronger and very reliable.

"I'll do my best! Now, let's check the operation while eating."

We're heading to the volcanic floor on the seventh floor today.Well, I concentrated on everyone's protective magic.Because you're going to use a lot of magic, they told you to leave everything else to you.

Nevertheless, magic doesn't matter.I need to concentrate, so I can't use complex magic...There should be room for simple magic.

When Shizuku-chan and Homura-kun were greeted in the meantime, I immediately received a reliable reply that I would leave it to you.Fufu, I'm counting on you!

Mr. Wyatt was already waiting when he was ready to leave the tent.I was told that you look so good.Do I know what you're talking about?Rune and Goo are laughing.

"Well, good luck today. But it won't be like yesterday."

"I know! I'll keep my guard down!"

"Oh, I thought you were going to say no such thing.Try to stay calm! "

Yeah, I thought Rune would say that, too.Maybe the conversation I had with Goo yesterday changed my mind.I have to keep my guard tight!

When you pat yourself on the cheek lightly and refresh your mood, Goo calls out to you to go.

"I'm going to attack you today!"

"Ooh, I'm trying to keep my guard down, but my goal is high."

"Not before!"

Ah, that's Rune!I'm coming with that kind of enthusiasm!

I tried to say...Reality wasn't so sweet!

"Kuh, the strength of the monster is not as strong as before!"

Googut moves forward and returns to his original position for evasion.Of course, Rune and I couldn't get out before that.

Yes, the level of monsters is rising from seven levels at once.If you try to defeat it with your previous feelings, you are faced with a retribution.Of course, I'm not the one who can't be defeated.It just takes time, and if you think you've knocked it down, the next monster will pop out again!

And this is the volcanic floor. There are only monsters whose burns cannot be avoided by touching them, and they cannot be approached in a circular manner.Even though he was wearing magic, the bare hand attack was bad for the main goose.

"Goo! I'll be on this floor first!Instead, I left it to Meg's protection! "

"All right, I got it, Rune!"

So I decided to change the roles of Googut and Rune along the way.Runes are still safe because they use weapons.Nevertheless, if I don't be careful because it is a nail, I will get burned.

It may take some time, but it's safe here, no doubt.Though I can heal my wounds to some extent, I want to do everything I can when I'm in the Boss Battle!

I asked Shizuku-chan to defend everyone with more water than ever before.Don't hesitate to use your magic, Shizuku!
