âHo, I canât believe âKomeâ tastes so good.â\n
âOh, thatâs delicious.â
Mr. Rose and Mr. Delose are impressed with the rice balls on their cheeks.
They both have hands on the second one already so they seem to like it a lot.
Good.
And Mr. Rose is clever.
I should be making rice balls for the first time, but with the second one I had already grabbed the force and tricks and grabbed them beautifully.
Youâre the one who does everything.
âShall I take this to Tableau later?
âIf this is it, I can eat it with one hand, okay?
What about plugging in rice dishes youâre unfamiliar with?
I feel like Iâm just gonna get you in trouble.
âAre there any other dishes that use thisâ kome â?
âYou make bowls a lotâ
âDumb?â
âYes, you eat them with stewed meat and vegetables on top of white rice.â
âOh, that sounds delicious, too.â
âItâs delicious. Besides, I feel good.â
âReally? Thatâs good.â
Mr. Rose and Mr. Druid begin to thrive on the subject of rice cooking.
Weâre talking about what rice dishes have come out so far, but itâs a little embarrassing because it includes things that have failed.
âWelcomeâ
No, Iâll make you some tea.
âIâm sorry. And youâre a good cook, arenât you?
âIâm glad you said that.â
First it was driven by necessity, but now itâs my hobby.
Next to Mr. Druid and Mr. Rose thriving, me and Mr. Delose downright.
I kind of dust it.
âTime to go home?
Mr. Druid calls out satisfied that he has finished his meal and talked out of speaking.
âYeah. Sola, Flem, Ciel?
Calling the Solas who were playing around.
âPuffy ~â\n
âNya-yay.â
Flem seems to be sleeping somewhere.
Looking around, I always slept beside the bag in it.
âSorry Iâm lateâ
Flem in the bag, and also Sora and Ciel, who jumped into my arms.
Looks like Iâm very happy that two of them got Mr. Delose to play quite a bit.
I donât know, Iâm so familiar with it.
Thank you for today.
âNo, Iâm glad you taught me how to cook tooâ
Directly from Mr. Rose, the food with this village sauce was easy and tasty.
Iâm going to make it when I get the sauce again.
When I leave Mr. Roseâs shop, the sun is on my face unlike yesterday.
View the little basket in your hand.
Inside are three rice balls I made today.
Itâs by my siblingsâ shop yesterday on the way home.
âPretty cold, huh?
âReally? It was colder for me yesterday.â
Mr. Druid tilts his neck at my words.
Iâm a little nervous about it and reach for his forehead.
Itâs not hotâŚ
âWhen you get home, drink Flemâs potion, will you? Because thereâs something going on.â
âOkay, I will. So you donât have to look so worried. âCause itâs okay.â
I donât know what you look like, but you look terrible.
Mr. Druid laughs as he thrusts my cheek.
Horrible because the look on his face is as usual.
âIs that it?â
When I turned my gaze to the place that happened to be the park, I saw a familiar person sitting in a chair.
To my words, Mr. Druid also turns his gaze to the park.
If thereâs no mistake, itâs Mr. Plia, Gilmouth of the Adventurerâs Guild.
âItâs Prior Gilmouth.â
âI knew you would.â
When I look at him, I realize he has some kind of thought of look on his face.
Mm-hmm. Is it kindness to keep seeing nothing like this? \nOr should I listen to you?
âWeâre not from this village. Whether itâs a good thing to get deeply involved.â
Yes, we are those who travel.
Thatâs why there are times when you get involved and times when you should take a step back.
That was taught to me by Mr. Druid.
View Mr. Pliagilmuthâs face.
I have sad eyes.
âMr. Druid, shall I plug it in?
âHmm? Plug in?
âYes, just as affordable.â
Thatâs what I said, give him the basket up and show Mr. Druid.
âHahaha, you sure do have oneâ
Enter the park and approach the chair where Mr. Pliagilmuth is sitting.
You noticed us or gave a slightly surprised look when the gaze you were looking down at turned this way.
âHelloâ
âOh, hello?
He talked to me all of a sudden, and I think Iâm confused.
âDid you have dinner?
âWhat?â
âItâs rice. Rice.â
âNo, not yetâŚâ
âOkay, plug in.â
âUh, plug in?
âYes.â
Push him all the way through the basket he had in his hand.
but youâre surprised or you canât accept it.
I canât help it, so I put the basket on my leg.
Now the purpose is complete.
âWhatâs this?
âItâs a rice balls made from riceâ
â⌠well, in âKomeââŚâŚâŚ eh!â Kome â?
Are you all right?
\nâWhat do kids know?â
The next little twinkle reaches my ear.
âSo youâre saying you donât get itâ
Stick to my words again, but that look is indescribable.
Looking at it, I grinned.
âMr. Gilmouth in the town where demons are running wild, he was always laughing. There was a smile around him, too.â
âHuh?â
âHis expression seemed painful when it was all over and he thanked me. They said thank you, but it seemed painfulâ
âWhat?â
Mr. Priagirlmouth, confused by me for speaking suddenly.
I know, but ignore it and keep talking.
âMr. Gilmouth and the heads of the vigilante before fighting the big organization were also smiling. It even seemed like fun. People around them smiled, well, some were confused.â
âŚâŚ
âThere was a smile around me when they were after my life. So I was scared, but I could fight without running, and I was laughing.â
I think smiling is amazing.
Itâs just a strength, but it still builds strength.
âHave some rice and help yourself. This is the time.â
I donât know how hard it is for people to stand up there.
Thatâs why I canât talk.
But I wanted to tell you.
Iâve met you before, smile at Mr. Gilmouth and the captains.
Because Iâm sure that makes sense.
âGoodbye, thenâ
He smiles and greets Mr. Pliagilmuth, who is flashing, and walks out with Mr. Druid.
Mr. Druid stroked my head gently.
âTo meâŚâ
I heard voices, but theyâre coming from the square without looking back.
âHmm, go get your gloves and go back to the inn and make rice balls?
Nodding at Mr. Druidâs words.
âIâve had more troubleâ
âNo problem.â
Smiling wonât solve everything.
Itâs not that simple.
But I think itâs important to smile in order not to be squashed by negative emotions.
