hours after leaving the village chief's residence,

I went back to my room and had dinner with Mr. Gant's family.

"Hey, as always, Maria's food is delicious"

"Gahaha, you must. You must. I don't know why Maria's cooking is the best in the world!

Listen to Mr. Gant,

Maria's face turned a little red but she seemed very happy.

These two are still close.

Thinking about it,

Marie sitting next to me pulls my sleeve a little.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Yuma. I made this dish. Eat and eat."

"Yeah, which one?"

I carry Marie's cooking into my mouth.

Yum, delicious!

It just doesn't extend to Maria, but it's still delicious enough.

Tell Marie it was delicious,

Marie was in a small, gutsy pose. I'm glad to hear it.

"Oh, no, Yuma. Oh, man. Are you sure you're going to go defeat Grossrabbits by yourself tomorrow?

"Yes. Well, Singh and I, to be precise, but"

When I answer that, Mr. Gant looks a little strange.

"Thing. I knew he was still obsessed with the Glow Slabits.

Well, I can't even do it. Grossrabbitz is Zirg's enemy………………… "

Mr. Gant, who speaks that way,

He had a complex look of remorse that made him miss the old days.

"Mr. Gant knew Mr. Zirg?

"Nn? Yeah, me and Zirg are childhood friendly.

I've been fooling around with a lot of things.

That's why I should have cared more about Thing.

It's an excuse, but when Zigg dies, I'm in a little bit too.

Well, by the time I realized it was too late.

It's pitiful. We're all grown-ups, so Singh's all alone. "

Isn't that what you have to do?

Even if the old childhood tame died...

Mr. Gant, who talks in such a depressed manner,

Maria and Marie stare worryingly.

Mr. Gant noticed that gaze,

"Whoa, we talked dark in the middle of the meal.

Yuma, I'm sorry Maria and Marie bothered you.

All right, let's get back on our minds and get on with our meals!

Mr. Gant tried to restore the darkened atmosphere to the

Start talking with a smile as usual.

But to me, it seemed cheerful and strangely painful.

Then dozens of minutes later,

Dinner was over, Maria went back to her room to clean up her meal.

I think it's time for me to go back to my room and take a seat.

Then Mr. Gant, who was sitting in the front, got a serious look again,

"Hey Yuma. I may not be the stepdad I can ask for, but I'll ask you about Thing tomorrow."

Mr. Gant said so and lowered his head to me.

You've been asking me a lot lately.

"Okay. I promise I will protect Thing as much as I can."

Only as much as is possible.

I'm sorry, but I can't say I risked my life to protect it.

"Thank you, Yuma. If it's true, I'd like to go with you, but it's the mountain of Sekiyama that I can put my foot together with my strength..."

I'm sorry to say this, but you're certainly right.

I am not willing to use my blocking skills this time unless something happens.

Fighting the Grossrabbits while protecting both Singh and Mr. Gant in such a state would be just as unscrupulous.

Whoa, speaking of which, I wanted to ask Mr. Gant something.

"Mr. Gant, what does it look like to have a glow slabbits look?

Actually, I was going to ask Mr. Zonga, but there was a lot going on and I was upset to hear it.

To my question,

"No, Yuma didn't know about him.

That's right, just to be brief, it feels like a Rabbit with a big figure. "

The figure just got bigger?

That doesn't seem very strong when I ask...

"Damn, you thought that wasn't all that weak.

But that's the only thing that's troublesome about big graphics.

Whatever. He's got nearly five meters. "

Five meters?

If that story is true, Gloslavitz means I'm bigger than the Cyclops I fought before.

"Besides, he moves at an unusual speed even though he's shaping you like that.

You hardly ever hit us because of this... "

I could have driven him back to the woods a lot.

But as far as I can tell, he sounds like a pretty strong enemy.

It's bad for Thing, who wants to take revenge, but in some cases, I might have to go fast. If you can, I'd like to make Thing take his revenge...

"Thank you for everything, Mr. Gant.

Now I know that Grosslavitz is a stronger enemy than I thought.

Tomorrow I'll be careful not to be alarmed. "

So, that's excuse me for today.

Yes, I left Mr. Gant a word, and I returned to my room where I was staying.

Maria distracted me, and the room I'm staying in today was the same as when I came to this room just a few months ago.

I lie in bed, just like I used to.

Yeah, as comfortable as ever.

"Phew, there was a lot going on today."

I didn't expect to come to the village of Barris so soon.

I think I did something wrong to Sally when she said she had just returned from the Gorey Mountains. I have to make up for something next time.

Still, this request, at first I said I took it lightly, but it kind of made me a lot more important.

I have a favor to ask of Mr. Zonga and Mr. Gant, and I need to keep Thing safe tomorrow. Oh, I don't know if I'm gonna be the one to babysit the kid.

But why not?

What makes me wonder and think I can't leave Thing alone?

I was such a child-loving character, no, you don't.

I don't hate kids, but I don't like them as much as I do.

That's how I see one answer as I think about Thing.

"Well, is that what this is about..."

Half-heartedly, but this is the only possible answer.

Thing is similar.

Whatever the difference between each other's circumstances, I'm somewhere similar to Thing now and I used to be...

I guess I can't leave Thing alone because I feel that way.

Ha, it's simple while I'm at it.

While I was thinking about that in my mind,

When I noticed the noise in my bed, I fell asleep.
