"Good Morning"

"Hmm? Oh, you've come a long way"

When I showed my face to Mr. Rose's shop, Mr. Rose and Mr. Delose greeted me with a smile.

We're ready to travel, and we're set to leave in five days, so we're going around to say hello to the people we took care of.

"You're going to miss me. When are you leaving?

Five days from now.

"You won't be long."

Don't get lonely when Mr. Rose snuggles at you.

Thank you so much for your help with the magic items.

"Yes, this. An item shop I know in and around Wang Du."

Receive two sheets of paper from Mr. Rose.

It contains the name of the village or town, as well as the name of the store and the name of the store owner.

"If you want something, you should go there. Everybody I know. If you're wrong, don't worry, I won't sell you anything you waste."

"Thank you"

Mr. Druid bows his head, so he lowers it in a hurry.

You've met some really good people.

"With that said, you asked Priya to interact with you in 'fuzz'?

"That's Ivy."

Since I decided to go on a journey, I was asked to hold my hand when I went to thank you for the announcement.

The momentum was pulling me back a bit, but for now, I got it because I have no problem.

... I'm afraid of momentum, and I think I just snorted.

In the meantime, I'm glad you calmed down.

"He moaned that Tableau had been crossed first."

"Uh, I'll also include a report to Chief Tableau in Mr. Pliagilmuth's fax, so it's okay."

Perhaps the fax to Mr Priagilmas will also include a report to Mr Rose and the others.

"Oh, can I also fax the report to Mr. Rose and others to Mr. Pliagilmuth?

I would if I had to.

"Will you give it to us, too? Glad to hear it. Priya won't like it, but it's no problem."

You don't like it?

I didn't look particularly bad when we talked about this.

"I think it's okay. When I asked, I got permission quickly."

To my words, Mr. Rose and Mr. Delose smile bitterly.

Is that it?

Did I say something strange?

I look at Mr. Druid, but he smiled gently.

Don't worry about Mr. Druid's smile whenever you see it.

"Ivy doesn't care, so it's okay."

"Yeah."

Nevertheless, don't get more interactions by fax.

I'm happy to have more friends.

I'm a little concerned that we're all older, but I don't know anyone the same age, so I can't help it.

At the inn, I was able to interact a little bit with the kids my age, but I felt very uncomfortable.

When I talked to Mr. Druid, he told me it would be my influence before.

Thank you. I think I'm older than I am, but I think I'm an adult.

Then I have no choice.

Because I had memories of my previous life, and now I can be here.

She is also my precious family.

"Time to go"

"Yeah."

"Are you going somewhere now?

Frem playing on Mr. Rose's lap, she puts it on her desk.

Frem seems to have remembered Mr. Rose as a good person to give him a good demon stone, so when he comes to the store, he goes to visit Mr. Rose.

"Thank you, did Flem say goodbye well too?

"Teriyu ~"

On my knees, it seems satisfying to let me pull.

I gently stroke my head before putting it in my bag.

"It's a clothing store called 'Char'. I bought a coat from spring to summer, so I had it resized."

"Oh, that's a lot of good stuff over there. Ivy's cute, so don't be stylish."

"Eh. Yes."

The coat Mr. Druid chose for me.

She was so cute, I'm a little excited now.

"Looks like you made a good purchase."

"What?"

"Didn't you notice? Ivy, you have a great smile right now."

Was it that much on your face?

Hold your cheeks with both hands.

When I look at Mr. Druid, he laughs with great pleasure.

"Glad you like it"

On Mr. Druid's smile, a grin comes to mind.

I knew his smile would reassure my heart.

"Thanks for choosing. I'll pick up Ciel and Sola."

Looking over Mr. Rose's shop, I found two in the corner of the store.

I approach softly wondering what I'm doing.

Peekin 'in from behind, two staring at little bugs.

I was just watching, is it fun?

The day Mr. Druid chose my spring coat, I chose one spring.

Even if I ever had something I wanted, I just had to put up with it.

Family, Warm Home, Gentle Hands, Warm Space, Engagement with People, Safe Meals, New Clothing, New Shoes, Safety.

No matter how much I wanted it, I didn't get it.

It has always been painful.

When it happened, I noticed.

He said he ran out of things he wanted.

It's not really gone, I gave up to protect my painful heart.

If you don't want it, your heart won't break.

It's not painful.

I engraved it into my heart that I wasn't patient, it was something I didn't want.

It must have been necessary then.

So I have no regrets.

"In the first place, I've noticed lately."

No one seemed to hear the words I whispered.

It's just that Sora, who tried to put it in her bag, is staring up at me.

Laugh at it, stroke your head.

"It's okay."

It was this winter that I realized that the things I gave up were close to me.

When I felt tender, Mr. Druid's hand held me up over and over in the snowpath.

I accidentally recognized it as a 'gentle hand I've always wanted' even though it was there all along.

'I've always wanted one,' I understood the moment the word came to my mind.

He said he didn't think he needed it, he gave it up.

But the hand I wanted was holding my hand and peeking at me worryingly.

When you grip your hand, you grip it back.

I finally realized I was getting what I gave up.

Family, warm houses are inns, but gentle hands, warm spaces, engaging with people, safe meals, new clothes, new shoes, safety.

Things Mr. Druid wanted from me.

No, it's not just Mr. Druid.

The people I've met have also filled me with things I wanted.

"It's too late to notice, isn't it, me"

I'm sure Mr. Druid has noticed a distortion in his mind made of what he has endured.

Mr. Druid, who would otherwise prioritize my feelings, can't possibly choose my clothes without asking for my opinion.

Perhaps he did something unconsciously in Mr. Baruca's garment store.

Maybe because we've lived together. Maybe I've noticed it since before.

"I didn't think you'd look so happy."

The day I chose my spring coat.

I tried to pick cute clothes.

When I held one piece of clothing in my hand, I felt uncomfortable for some reason even though I thought it was cute until then.

That's why I understood that the clothes in my hand were 'things I didn't need'.

When I tried to put it back on the shelf,

"Lovely, I'd love to see Ivy wear it"

Mr. Druid gave his coat to the store guy and he was coming back beside me.

A little surprised.

Looking at Mr. Druid flashly, he looks at me with a strange look and tilts his neck.

"What's up?

"No, because I came back fast"

"No, 10 minutes since then... nothing. That dress is cuter than that. Don't think it suits Ivy."

I laugh happily when I say that, and I look at Mr. Druid, and I see the clothes in my hand again.

Lovely color and embroidery indeed.

"Why don't you just match it in front of the mirror for a second?

That said, he pulled his hand and made me stand in front of a mirror in the store.

And when you take the clothes out of my hand, they go with my body.

"Yeah. Ivy's been acting a lot like a sister lately, so don't look good"

I looked a little confused in the mirror.

"Look, Ivy, laugh and laugh. You look good in those clothes."

That's what I said, gentle hands stroking my head.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, it was turning into a happy grin.

"Does it look good on you?

"Absolutely. I promise."

I've been vouched for, and she's cute.

I wanted the clothes so badly that I decided to buy them.

Passing the clothes to Mr. Baruca, he was shaken and his head stroked hard.

Turning around to protest, there was what could be described as the best smile ever.

I was a little embarrassed by that much smile, but I laughed, too.

"That was the first time you bought clothes just because you wanted them"

I always bought it for various reasons.

I bought clothes in the first place because of winter clothes.

It's still a little early to wear those clothes.

I hope Mr. Druid sees you in those clothes soon.
