212 208 words. Run away?

………………

Uh, what is it, this silence?

Neither Mr. Druid nor Mr. Dolgas will move as if they have solidified.

What the hell is Mr. Dolgas doing here?

Could it be that you were just running down this road by chance?

No, don't you have that?

………………

If I don't move, I've always felt like this.

"Uh, Mr. Dorgas. What's wrong, sir?

"... no..."

Uh, that's it?

Then can we go now?

"Um, if you don't have business, we're going, right?

"Hey do it! Oh, no. Um..."

Kind of different than before, Mr. Dolgas.

I don't feel any of that prick today.

Looking at him, he said something, but it seems hard to say.

Looking around a little, there is a wooden bench that is freely available a little walk away.

Is it easy for Mr. Dolgas to talk to you over there?

When I saw him trying to talk to Mr. Druid, he had a huge wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"Mr. Druid, the wrinkles between your eyebrows are amazing. If you still have enough wrinkles, you'll get older... and you'll become a habit."

"Ivy, do I look so old?

Mr. Druid is stretching the crease between his eyebrows with his hands.

After all, do you care?

You have to be careful how you say it.

"Yes. No, that's not true."

Shit, dude...

"Honesty is a good thing, I'm sure."

"hehe"

Laugh and be deluded!

"You know..."

When I'm talking to Mr. Druid, I reluctantly hear a voice.

Oh, I completely forgot about Mr. Dorgas.

With that said, Mr. Dorgas' name came up soon today.

Looks like they finally remembered, good.

"Why don't you borrow that bench over there and talk to me?

We both know who I'm referring to.

"... brother, what do you say?

When Mr. Dolgus asked Mr. Dolgus in a voice containing a little tension, Mr. Dolgus nodded as well.

Good.

The two of us will talk later.

"I want Ivy with me"

Mr. Druid stares at me.

"Please come from me, too."

Mr. Dorgas also asked me to try to say no.

I didn't know that Mr. Dolgas would ask you to do it.

"Yes, I understand."

I wonder if this atmosphere would ever be as sinister as it was before?

That atmosphere scares you, doesn't it?

Is that it?

I sat in a chair to be recommended, but isn't this line weird?

Why am I sitting in the middle?

Well, if it's easier to talk with a wall, I'll cooperate...

………………

That's why you can't keep quiet.

"Mr. Dorgas."

"Ah."

To my slightly louder voice, Mr. Dolgas relieves himself of his fright.

Hmm, that's a little sad when it reacts like that.

"Is there something wrong?

"Nothing...... no. You know what?"

"Yes."

Mr. Dorgas seems to be searching for words as he wanders his gaze.

Mr. Druid, on the other side, has a surprised look at how he finally noticed Mr. Dolgas, who is not what he always looks like.

It's too late to notice.

"I'm sorry."

"" Eh!

It's something I apologize for so suddenly that I was surprised with Mr. Druid.

No way, you know, I can't believe that Mr. Dolgas apologized.

I snapped gently on my cheek.

"I want to be."

"Ivy, what are you doing?

"No, it's nothing"

Mr. Dolphide as well as Mr. Dolgas looked at me strangely.

I get embarrassed and look down a bit.

"I only have one best friend."

Does Mr. Dorgas have a proper best friend too?

You're kind of relieved.

"I have cultivation skills and have 3 stars"

Hmm, is my best friend still a star too?

And you have three stars, you're a pretty amazing guy.

We thought we could do anything with the stars.

That's what I thought when I was little, too.

"So I also backed him up when he said he would show success in a place where only rice grows. I thought I'd be able to deliver quickly. But it didn't help me with my skills at all. There was no point in having three stars."

Then why were you so adamant about the stars?

"But if you admit it... if you admit it, he's going to break"

Could it be for your best friend that you stubbornly continued to bind to the stars?

With that said, the shopkeeper said so.

Many of the people who moved to that place said they had already given up their lives.

He said many people ran to crime and fell into slavery.

"Druid succeeded in his big job as an adventurer as he managed to step on it"

Mr. Dolgas sees Mr. Dolphide.

"I felt like they showed me I could succeed with less stars. I regret it. I can't save one of my best friends."

Maybe a lot of things have overlapped.

That put a lid on Mr. Dorgas' heart.

Even so, I think it's too obstinate.

"It doesn't make sense to have stars. I knew it, but I never wanted to admit it."

Were you intimidating me so much to protect myself?

As Mr. Gilmouth would say, you're probably pretty cautious.

So I could only take a way to yell and scatter.

"But he laughed."

That guy?

You mean my best friend?

"I ate rice balls and laughed with great joy. I haven't seen that face in a long time."

Mr. Dorgas, who was talking, suddenly stands up and stands facing us.

"I'm sorry. And I appreciate it."

"" Ah. "

Mr. Dorgas just said, he ran away.

Just.

"Mr. Dorgas' face, you were bright red"

"Oh, I've never seen such a brother's face before. And you had a little leg."

"Yes."

Running backwards were melting along the way.

Probably because of the embarrassment and nervousness that made my body stiff.

"Uh, Mr. Druid"

"Oh, what?

"What did Mr. Dorgas want to say?

I know what you wanted to say somehow......

"Mm-hmm. Are you saying that my best friend who farms where only Kome grows up was happy to know that Kome can be eaten?

I guess that's what you're saying.

"So I guess it means' thank you 'because my best friend's farming is going to succeed in rice."

"That's what you say, isn't it?

Face to face with Mr. Druid.

And at the same time, they laugh.

I found it rather embarrassing to see how Mr. Dolgas was doing at the end of the day.

I would have liked to have spoken a little more clearly.

"You mean you fell in a good direction, okay?

"I think so. Your father and mother will be relieved."

Mr. Druid is laughing bitterly.

He's been told a lot for years, so maybe he won't be able to forgive you any time soon.

"When you get back from your journey, maybe you can talk slowly. Three brothers."

After a little time, I'm sure we can start over.

"... right. That's good, too."
