34 Episode 33: Aina's Mother

"... Shiloh, brother, over here"

We were on our way to Aina's house.

The members lead Eina, me, Karen and four of Mr. Rolf.

From out of town, further out of the compartment.

There were several houses in that place surrounded by fields.

……

I look around.

Not a single beautiful house, many that either nearly collapsed.

On top of that, all the vegetables planted in the field are small.

I knew as soon as I saw the cracked fields and the dying leaves that were not growing well.

More importantly, this out-of-town atmosphere was filled with more and more bitter atmosphere.

"Mr. Karen, what is this place...?

Speak softly in Karen's ear as she walks next door.

You must have figured out right away what I wanted to ask.

Karen had a spicy look on her face and started talking.

"This is... an area inhabited by the poor and the sick. Some of them were abandoned from other villages."

"Oh no..."

"I'm just impudent as a mayor...... Ninolich is a poor town. Every year there are also those who cannot cross the winter. There are many of them living here."

According to Karen's story, it was outside this town that people who got sick, unaccompanied children, old people, etc. were able to gather naturally?

Due to the large number of sick people, they are neglected and repelled by the inhabitants of the town.

I guess I build and live in a house that leans off like this because there's nowhere else to go but here.

I'm not at all convinced in the mood, but I can understand.

Because if the disease was like an infectious disease that moves people, getting close is only a risk.

"Aina was coming from out of town to the store like this..."

When I squealed like that,

"Right here. This is Eina's home."

Looks like we just got to Aina's house.

Aina's house, which is a little inclined, feels a lot smaller for the two of us to live in.

Next to the house was a field, where only a few vegetables similar to aubergines lived.

"This is it. Nash is sweet."

You noticed my gaze, Aina took 'Nash' and told me.

"I'm having soup with you."

"... well. Aina's making it?

"Yeah. Shiloh, you want to talk to your brother too? Aina, I'll make you one."

"Er. Fine."

"Yeah. I've got to cook your dinner, too, even. The mayor, Rolf, your brother."

When Aina says so, she just takes two nashes.

Hold Nash with both hands, take one or two deep breaths.

"Su Ha... Su Ha..."

And I smiled,

"Oh, my God, I'm home!

Aina opened the door to the house well.

I saw that little hindsight and my chest ached.

The first deep breath is meant to calm you down.

The smile I was forced to make... was meant to reassure your mother.

Aina, you are a child...

"Oka-san, I have a customer today!

"... well, sometimes it's unusual"

I could hear a different woman than Eina.

Somehow, it was a very sweet voice.

"That's so sweet of you. Shiloh, brother, come on in!

Aina with a smile on her face invites me.

Then...

I snap my own cheeks with both hands.

Hey, I'm in the mood.

I'll make you smile like Aina can't beat you.

"Nice to meet you, Mother. Aina is helping me with the shop, and I'm called Samuro Nida."

Smile and enter Aina's house.

It's like jumping in sales.

"Yes. If you..."

There was a woman lying in bed.

"Nice to meet you, Aina's mother, my name is Stella"

A pretty woman who looked a lot like Aina turned a weak but warm grin on me.
