Nate, you were out somewhere while we were asleep, right?!

What are you thinking!! And... it wasn't long after I woke up that my mother stopped me.

Shut up! I told you not to goose down until a while ago, but you pull your ears at the moment you say it. Dad who came to my room with me rushes to stop Mom, but Mom's sharp eyes don't heal.

As soon as you managed to get your fingers out of my ear, you idiot! was yelled at. It didn't hurt much, but I held my pulled ear and blocked it. However, my mother's sermon continued to come to my ears at my leisure.

Even though you're injured like that, you've been told by your teacher and knight to rest. Don't push yourself any harder. Even if you tell me where you've been, I don't have time to tell you back, so I can't answer. I think it will settle down a little bit, because my dad will cheer me up hard and say, "I'm still sick."... I haven't heard your mother yell at me like this in years.

I went to give Jeanne the invention and went straight home, but after all, it took quite a long time to get back and forth.

My legs are heavy and it hurts all over my body. Even though I reduced the contents of the backpack, I walked thinking that it was like that. I knew it would take some time, and I was definitely not sure because I heard my dad exclaiming late last night.

In general, even though I'm tired from sleeping at the dawn of work every day, I knew yesterday that my mother would never wake up because she had just run out of time because of me and my uncle. Actually, even when I came back, I didn't wake up from sleeping with my dad.

But I think I made something up when I woke up.

Whether it was dirt on the floor, because I changed my clothes by scratching my sweat, because I left my luggage standing on the side when I ran away from home, or because I left it open because of the lock on the door that remained broken. That's all I can think of, but I think maybe there is something else. Your uncle was good at hiding those traces, but I'm not good at all.

"I'm a little friend...... but I just went to give my luggage to the school guy." I don't have to run anywhere else, and I don't have to force myself. "

"I guess it's already impossible to move with that bandage all over!"

"Nate, did you make friends with me?" "Did you accompany me to the hospital last night?"

Following his angry mother, who was horny, Papa asked with his eyes rounded.

I haven't had any friends since I invented it until now, so as soon as I heard that, my mother pulled the red color off her face and stretched her neck forward.

I said, "I'm not a friend anymore." But neither my mom nor my dad give up that much. She asks me what kind of child I am, whether it's a boy, a girl, or someone my age. I have been asked while I was going to school, but it is unnecessarily persistent because I have been going to school "normally" and "not at all".

It's getting annoying, and the mothers are already awake, and they're dragging their legs out of their rooms. Dad took the backpack with him and went to the living room as he tucked her to her side. In the meantime, I kept asking questions about Jeanne and the others.

As soon as I sat down in front of the front door, my mom asked me, "I'm going somewhere," and I yelled at me, "Nooooooooooo!" We've already woken up, so let's get rid of the broken doors and locks.

"It's better to fix the door as soon as possible." There might be a thief sometime..... "

"I'll leave you to it, so go back to sleep." I'll call a repairman by the next holiday. "

"Nate, I'm happy for you, but my dad will do it." If you want to invent, do it on the bed. "

That's why I'm telling you to be quiet without inventing it! Suddenly, Mom is angry with Dad.

Yesterday and today are really angry. When I get angry, it's definitely like this, so I remember Gigi used to say that the patient and gentle father finally subsided. He's stuck to something else, and even though his hand is almost safe, the two of you try to push him back into the room again.

It would be better if you made me a quick meal.... it's been a while since Mom's meal.

"I was hungry more than that. Can you eat anything?"

"Oh! That's right. Mom, you're still tired, aren't you? If you want, I'll make it."

"I've slept enough already, so I'm fine." Nate, you need to rest your hand! "

Mom's in a bit of a mood.

I went to the kitchen with my dad's words as fast as I could. As soon as Mom was gone, Dad sat next to me and grabbed a board and a nail, saying, "Well, I think I'll help you with something." I kept scratching my head and breathed out as I looked at the broken door again.

"The holes in the door are largely filled, but... it's not good to look at it." After all, let's take this off once and then plug it with a board. I wonder if Nate will make the key again. "

"... spare. Handles and keys, right? I don't need any special abilities, I just need to fix the broken fragments."

I had all the parts of the door that the column seemed to have broken. Not only the material, but also the parts, so it is not difficult to fix the rest.

Well, thanks to some [special ability] that a scary guy filled in, the broken hole in the door was welded as if part of the wall had melted out. However, the key is not fixed, and if you press it with your hand, the door itself will open like a hariribote, so anyone can put it in. Even though my uncle knew he wouldn't come anymore, he wanted to fix it and be relieved.

In my words, "Yes, Nate is a genius," Dad said in a bright voice, really with us all the time. Yesterday, she had such a white face, and she pushed her back to what her uncle was doing. Even after that, I think it's probably not really Dad who is most tired when I hold down my mom who cries after getting sick.... and it's my dad who can't even show it to me, my mom, or my uncle.

"Is it another invention that went to deliver it?" You must have done something yesterday while your father was making a scene. "

"Never mind... Jean, I can't help but want him because he's noisy every day." I was sleeping at Gigi's yesterday, so I was free at night. "

"I see, did you have any friends you met every day?" But can you get some sleep today? I promise my dad and mom will get you to bed tonight. "

"At any rate, I'm sleeping... not sleeping." If I eat all this, I'll sleep properly. I'm tired of walking. "

I'm pretty sleepy already.

Mom yelled at me when I thought I was sleepy while I was making a second invention for Jeanne. When I go to bed like that, I feel annoyed to listen to what I have to say. At the same time, I can finally repair the door. After all, I was quite tired from going to and from school with this body all night.

Wow, I'm so glad... thank you so much, Nate!

... well, I don't regret it.

Yeah, I think it's twice as much fun to make it if there's somebody who's happy like Dad or Mom. It's fun and satisfying for one person, but it's different when you're happy.

At first, I was just going to show off. Since I started making it, I thought I'd make you proud when it was definitely finished, and I thought I'd make you envy it.

So, if you feel good, I was wondering if I could make another one later to thank you for introducing me to my trading partner.... but...

"I see. Good. Good." My mom is going to quit my dad's job, so Nate can just sit back and relax. "

"... you should rest for a while, too, Dad."

I think it's been a long time since I've been doing anything alongside my dad like this.

"I wonder if it's still difficult for my dad," he said with a smile. "I want to fill the hole in the workplace until my mom quits." It's really not a big deal to talk like that. Every once in a while, it was not much different from when I was around the table with my family.

Even though it's a boring and uncomfortable story, I want you to answer it normally. Re-tension the board by peeling off the blocked wall. While Dad was tapping, I also fixed the key from the handle and stuck it to the carpentry job. My father was not good at the carpentry job. If I told him how to do it, he installed it instead. Until the repair shop arrived, I couldn't do anything about it. Dad scratched his sweat and put his wiped hands on the floor.

"... I'm sorry, Nate." Neither my dad nor my mom realized it. "

My voice was lower than when I talked to you earlier.

When I stopped and turned my hand back to the backpack, my dad, who had dropped his hips, still looked at the door. I heard about apologizing from my dad and mom many times yesterday, and it's not bad for both of them.

Rather, I was afraid that my uncle would be angry at me for seeing an invention or trading an invention in secret, but I was never blamed for it.

Even if the column didn't come in between us, it wouldn't have changed. Crying and apologizing and hugging my uncle all the time made me feel even stranger than I could blame my own mother.

"Oh, I see her, too, and she's still depressed. I don't want you to do it anymore, so I'm doing it harder."

I don't know yet, but as Column told Dad and the others, I think I was fooled by my uncle.

In the end, my invention didn't add anything to the debt, and perhaps it disappeared into your uncle's drinking bills instead of interest. For the last four years of my life... it may have been meaningless. I just stepped on it, broke Mom's promise, and found out that my uncle was the cause in the first place.

“I know I can't forgive you no matter how many times you apologize. So neither my father nor my mother have any excuses. Let me make amends for that. Even so, is that okay...?"

"... good"

It smells like daddy all the way from the line next to me.

Your head is dumbfounded because the door has been repaired, because your father is next to you, or because of your low voice or smell. In a clear and strong tone, Dad knows that it's always the strongest and kindest time of the year.

I know that you don't always look me in the eye, and... that's when you're about to cry.

"... you don't have to make amends."... don't push yourself... come back......... I,...... if I can invent anything......

I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

My head is getting heavy from drowsiness, and I'm leaning against my dad. Without saying anything, my dad lent me his knee and let me lie down. His knees and hands were trembling subtly.

I thought it would be difficult to sleep with it, but then my head became heavy until my eyelids, and I closed my eyes while my father stroked my head. Dad's lap was as comfortable as he was carrying me yesterday, and it was much easier to sleep in the bed.

"I'll wake you up when the rice is ready....... You should rest for a while."

... actually, to Jeanne.

I didn't mean to invent it. I thought maybe I could make another one to thank for introducing me to my trading partner.

But... it couldn't be true that I just got back to waiting for Mom's meal on Dad's lap.

I couldn't think of such a strange invention, and I couldn't make a deal with the prince. At the same time, I was annoyed by the columns and the knights...... My uncle might have broken my leg one day even if I didn't get on my feet.

If you're okay with it, I'll let you solve that problem even faster.

I just wanted to return it because you found it.

I was glad that you would be pleased, and I could totally let go if I thought it was okay to be the first and last one.

I don't know if you can buy an invention from a prince or a commoner like me, but... my uncle is gone, so I really thought I wouldn't have to sell it anymore. It wasn't originally my idea, and I didn't want to make it, I wanted to be praised, I wanted to sell it, and I just wanted to be free from my uncle.

... I thought I could make it for Jeanne.

I think I want it too, and I thought it would be nice to meet people around me.

All the time, now and all the time.

I wonder if you'd be really surprised if I made it, if you want it... or if you'd be happy if I gave it to you.

When I made it, it was just fun, and I enjoyed the feeling of nostalgia that I felt when I made it for my dad and mom for a long time. I want to surprise and delight Jeanne by making it again, just like it was then. After all, whether your uncle is here or not, you can't stop this.

I want to make it again.

To Jeanne... and to someone else.

……



Let go! Let go! Where are you taking your dad and mom?

... what is it?

"Shut the fuck up, kid!! Look at that!" This is what happens to everyone who keeps leaving a debt!! "
