- Druid viewpoint -

"Is something wrong?

I don't know how to deal with an attitude that's too different from when I saw you before.

Years ago, though.

"I saw you with the kid's adventurer. I wonder if that girl, Ivy, has been talking about lately."

Shit.

Are you getting attention for being with me?

Tomorrow, but I have to tell Ivy.

How could I be... if I don't like being noticed?

Hold your hand in a good way.

"Druid?"

"Oh, bad. Yes."

"I haven't seen it in a long time. That look on Druid's face"

Gilmouth told you, too, that you're laughing naturally.

Is that so different?

"I remember the old days. When I told Shileela about it, she said," You were a jerk until a while ago. I was taking that smile away from you. '"

... Huh?

Mr. Sirella is that grown-up wife, isn't she?

You've only come to say hello once.

"Well, I did take that smile off the Druid, so you can't help it if it's called scraps."

"Brother."

What's the matter with you?

I would never have been the one to admit my mistake.

Are you sure it's real?

"You never let me take care of the shop, I talked to my father directly."

Have you changed your mind?

Talk about the store?

Well, my father's a good year, too.

Will it fit when I can leave the store to you next?

"My father told me, 'Try it for a month. You have to take a good look at reality.'"

Look at reality?

What's this all about?

Is the store in danger?

I haven't heard anything like that.

"In a month's time, I made my father admit I was going to take over the store. But a customer is honest."

"Guests?"

"Oh, I don't have many customers when I'm the only one in the store. Even though it's normal to come in with Cyrilla or my mother."

... That's because of my brother's character.

You're unconscious, because you're willing to say things that look down on others.

Still, I settled down a lot compared to the old days.

Well, there's something that comes from the atmosphere, even if you're careful not to put out words.

"I managed to do my best, but it didn't work out at all. I got frustrated and sprinkled by Sirella."

Wow, ma'am, that was tough.

"Well, Cyrilla told me she knew."

Kind of sounds like you got a great guy for your wife, brother.

Mr. Sirella, you came to say hello, but you chased me back to say it would be tough if my brother could tear me up.

I did something I'm sorry about.

"You must have even given me a surprised look. 'Maybe you haven't noticed? You, as a merchant, no. It would suck if you saw it from someone else,' he said with a smile. I just didn't understand what they said for a second."

... Isn't that just too much to say that you suck as a person?

"Hahaha, no matter what I understand the meaning, what can I say? Instead of listening to the story and defending it, my mother tells Shileela," You've often come to my son's wife like this. "

…………

"I'm so flabbergasted."

That's well, you will.

But your brother's growing up, too.

If they used to make fun of me at all, I would have gone mad.

"I was in store the next day, and you had a pretty bad look on your face, and a regular Tokihi looked at me and he sighed a lot."

Mr. Tokhihi?

I'm the one who got adored, too.

How are you?

"'It's always hard for customers to get in. Are you going to crush the store'? There was blood on my head the day before. I've ruined what I think."

Brother, what are you doing to our guests?

"I'm trying, but I can't admit it, or you think this happened because the stars are gone"

... Oh, can you still forgive me?

Turn your gaze softly to your feet.

A gripping hand enters sight.

I didn't realize it, but it seemed like a lot of effort.

My fingernails are eating into my palms.

Speaking of which, you always had a scratch on your hands when you talked to your brothers.

"Things, I think I said"

I wonder what my brother wants to say.

After all, you think I can't forgive you?

"'I thought the stars were gone and I grew up a little bit as a person... but I'm sorry I'm still holding on to that crap. You're my brother here, and the only thing I need in town is my youngest brother!

"What?"

"'This happened because the stars disappeared? It won't be. You and your brother were crumbs as people. That gave the Druid a chance to grow up as a person. Well, if you look around, you still look like a shitty human being'... that's what Mr. Tokhihi said to me"

Speaking of which, Mr. Tokihi was a kind man who would sigh but pay attention to his brothers.

"I wonder why. I remember being told many times, such as" Scraps "and" The Worst Man, "but until now I cleaned up that it was" The seclusion of those who couldn't hold it ".... but at this time... what can I say? I was shocked."

"Brother."

"I was curious about what Mr. Tokhihi said, and I asked my father." What if Druid says he's going to take over the store? 'and. My father said,' I will leave it to you soon. 'Cause she's not the kind of kid who makes fun of people.' That's what they said. "

With that said, you haven't spoken to my father in the last few years.

"At the end of a month, my father said, 'Did you understand that you couldn't do it? Business is not over if you sell things. Connecting with people becomes important. In particular, store owners are invited to consult a lot. It also becomes important to listen carefully to it one at a time and worry about it together rather than just solving it. You compared to old times, but you still see others below yourself. I can't leave the store to him like that. The store will be left to Sirella'"

Talk to him.

Sure enough, a lot of people were looking to talk to my father.

That's what bothered me with my mother when she even talked to me about something completely different from business.

"It was a shock. I can't believe Cyrilla let me inherit. But it's like my mother and Cyrilla already knew. Did Druid know?

"I just heard it the first time"

"Right."

My brother has been saying for a long time that he is the one to take over the store.

My father's judgment would have been astonishing.

But is that right, Mr. Sirella will succeed?

That would be reassuring.

"There are words that my mother kept saying to me for a long time." Skills and stars aside. Don't forget that '"

I've been told, too.

'Certainly there are things that make it easier to do your job with your skills. If the stars were good, I would be able to do it a little better than people. But I can make it up to you if I make an effort. So think about your skills and your stars. "

I've seen my father's efforts up close, so I guess I can say it because she's my mother.

"This past month has made me think a lot. So I guess I was taken by Mr. Tokhihi's words and those of his father and mother in a different way than usual. Nevertheless, to be honest, I'm still bound by skills and stars. But that's not all I realized."

I see.

Have you finally noticed?

My father and mother's efforts have finally come to fruition.

Good.

"I told Cyrilla, 'Thanks to the disappearance of the stars, you were able to grow up a little as a person. And now you could have grown just a little bit more. I'd have been divorced the whole time."

... Mr. Siriella, I don't think you should judge people by their appearance.

It really feels like we're adults.

"Druid, I'm sorry. I've been too constrained by the stars to do much terrible things. I could understand that being a person sucks."

"No, it was' us, wasn't it? 'Huh?"

When I saw my brother blocking my words, he looked a little bitter.

"The one who was most saddened by my attitude and that of Dolgas was the Dolphins. I guess I wanted to do something about it. You were nice to us, too, haters. And yet we've done a terrible thing to you because the stars disappeared."

I'm not.

"It was for my father. I feel like my family is falling apart. So I can't say it's for my brothers."

"You don't remember?

"What?"

"You asked me, didn't you?" With fewer stars, can you be gentle with people? 'And I don't remember what I answered then. I remember being asked. "

... have you ever heard of that?

I don't know, but if my brother says so, does he?

"I think it is now. But sorry."
