When Rudy regained his mind, he immediately answered Ronnie's question.
"Maki often picks up a lot of things. I'll be sick soon, so I can't go too far, but I'll pick up something I've never seen before."
It's like a machine, it's rotten food, it's a piece of paper you don't know the ingredients for, it's clothes you don't know how to tailor, it's really a lot of stuff.
Huh? Something I've heard somewhere.
"As expected, I had him throw away the rotten food, but other than that, I took it seriously. When Maki was alone in the answering machine, he looked at it all day long and looked into it." I don't know if it actually fits, but it's pretty awesome to find out how to use it. "
It is said that things that can be used in this way are used as useful tools at home. Wow, you're only 10 years old, right? I think it is certainly talent.
"I think that if you can study more things, the world of maxi will expand even more. I've been calling all kinds of workshops, haven't I? But nobody looks at me like this crap is worth anything."
... this. Isn't this the talent we're looking for? Oh, because of the possibility, did Ronnie hear more about her sister? Hopefully, we can help these brothers!?
"Can you show me that?"
Just say it's okay.
Relax your excitement and unlock soundproofing magic. As Rudy stood up and headed for the space next to him, which was partitioned by a cloth, he heard a rush of voices.
"... you guys were listening to me?"
I guess that's what bothers you!
But I was bored because I couldn't even hear you.
Looks like Phoebe and Maki were watching us. Well, I was aware of that. It was cute and there was no harm, so I just left it there.
"Hah, it's okay." Maki, these people want to see your treasure. "
"Huh? But...."
"It explains what kind of treasure it is." But I still want to see it. "
Maki opened her eyes in surprise at Rudy's explanation. Then there was something to be reluctant about, and I was looking at it with an apologetic look.
"Hey, are you sure it's okay? Um... it's not very good, though."
Yeah. If Maki-chan is lucky, I'd like to show it to you.
Maybe it's because people keep saying it's worthless. "I'm not confident..." It's a waste not to recognize this child's talent. At least if the adults had seen Maki-chan's own work instead of the object, something might have been different.
When she called out with a smile on her face, Maki smiled even as she dyed her cheeks red.
"These people are weird, aren't they?" Ehehe, but it's the first time anyone has said that except oniichan. I'm glad to hear it. "
Then Maki took my hand and pulled me this way. The tension is high! It's cute!
Somehow, my heart is fuzzy. I wonder what's going on, because I'm being held back by a kid younger than me. Well, maybe Maki-chan is a healer. It's a small, thin hand, but it feels kind of warm.
I was brought from the other side, partitioned with cloth. Maybe it was a place to sleep, a place where three thin cloths were laid side by side. There was a large wooden box at the far end of it, and it claimed a particularly strong presence.
The box is narrowing the place to sleep, but it seems that none of the three of them cared about it.
"You might think it's just garbage..."
As she leaned down embarrassedly, Maki pointed at the box with her hand. It seems that you can watch it as you like. Then I'll show it to you. "I screamed, and I was shown the box with Ronnie.
Ronnie leans his neck in wonder for a lot of things, but I unexpectedly stop moving. "I-I mean, this...!"
"... something from another world."
Definitely. It belongs to Japan, to the world I was in, eh?!
Because the screen is cracked and dark, but it is a mobile phone, and the text written on this shabby piece of paper is barely readable in Japanese. It's the logo of a famous supermarket! It's a flyer! Wow, memories are coming back all at once. "I miss you...!"
"There was a guy who was studying the otherworldly droppings...... with Orthus, wasn't there?"
"Yeah, it's Mr. Rash." Wow, that's so much... hey, Maki-chan. Where do you always find this? "
When I asked with a little excitement, not only Maki-chan, but also my two brothers, looked at me as a poker player. Oops, it looks like I left it behind. I just have to explain it lightly.
"Well, this isn't trash. It's something that's being used in a different world. Well, do you know what a different world is? Anyway, my guild does this research."
"Um, uh..."
Ugh, I don't understand if you say that all of a sudden. But it is difficult to explain this more simply. In the first place, you have to believe that there is a world different from this one.
It's still easy for people on the demon continent to understand, but humans aren't even familiar with magic...
"I don't know what's so difficult about it... but for you guys, isn't this junk?"
"! Yes! That's all I need to know right now!"
Nodding to Rudy's words, the brothers still had an unbelievable look on their faces, but they seemed to be intrigued by our story.
"That's a decision, Meg, let's scout this girl."
"Yeah! Um, will you listen to us now?"
Then Ronnie and I started talking about the purpose of coming to this continent and Maki-chan's solicitation.
After all the explanations, I managed to understand, but all three of them still had difficult faces. It's too sudden. It's not impossible.
"Um, what's going to happen to Maki? Can't you see us anymore? No, it's not. I thought you said you'd come back. But in the case of Maki, where you've brushed your skills, you can't use your talents here, can you?"
Despite the confusion, Rudy seemed to be thinking a lot.
Yeah, that's right. Researching the dropped objects of other worlds is not very useful on this continent. We may be able to sell it as a useful tool, but we need money to collect what we need. It's quite difficult to find anyone strange enough to sponsor me on this continent.
"Hey Ronnie, can you take Rudy and Phoebe with you?" If a talented child needed it, didn't the family say they'd take care of him? "
"Yeah, I can do that." but..... "
Ronnie was so speechless that he said it. His gaze was directed at Mr. Rudy.
... oh, right. Rudy is guilty. You said you'd done bad things before you attacked us. Even though it's a misdemeanor, sin is a sin. We can't let that kind of person cross the continent.
Maki, go to the Demon Continent alone.
"Eh, Brother Rudy...?"
I guess Rudy also knew that, so he told Maki without hesitation. I nodded lightly, wondering if Feebby was also thinking about it.
It was Maki who was puzzled. That's right, I don't know what's going on.
"We can't go with you right now because we have work to do here." "Nice, Phoebe"
"Oh! If Maki is with these people, we'll be relieved." It's a chance to do whatever you want, so you should definitely do it! "
What's your job here? I don't know what to do. "Are you going to live like this or pay for your sins..." Maybe you won't be able to see Maki-chan anymore, but both of you have very bright faces and voices. After all, you're making a smile by force...?
"... no good. I don't want to leave with my brothers."
But Maki didn't like the tears in her eyes. I think I can feel it painfully tightening my chest.
When this happens, we can't say anything anymore. We'll have to leave the rest to ourselves. Ronnie and I closed our eyes and squeezed our shoulders like we were in trouble.
"Maki, anyway, you're going to be alone for a while." I can't tell you what's going on...
Silently watching her progress, Rudy told her as she made up her mind. Which means... I'm probably willing to pay for my sins. But is it okay to talk about it all of a sudden?
I was worried, and Maki stood up and shouted, trembling.
"What!? What is that?! I didn't hear that! Sniff, sniff, sniff!"
Maki!!
I think I had a seizure along the way. Big change! Bring me some water, and I'll call myself Miss Rudy right away. I took out a cup from the storage magic tool and asked Shizuku-chan to fill it with water.
Rudy scraped her back while supporting Maki-chan, and waited for her cough to calm down while encouraging her. As I calmed down a bit, I gave Maki a little bit of water. Sometimes I spit it out, but after a few sips, it seems that my breath is finally ready. "I'm so glad..."
Is this normal water?
It's faster than usual for the seizure to subside, right?
Rudy and Feebby tilted their necks in peace and wonder. It's special water from Shizuku-chan. It may be because it has a healing effect.
It's not just a cure, it's just a temporary relief. When I told her that it was best to rest slowly, Feebby supported Maki-chan and laid her on the cloth.
"I'm so excited..." That was my fault. Maki, I'm sorry. "
Looking at Maki-chan, who closed her eyes tiredly, Rudy mumbled in a small voice, which seemed much more painful.
