`Oh, yes...!'

　Yeah. We have a lot of customers today too.
　I'm glad.

　...but there are still times when I'm a little nervous and can't speak properly. ...reflection.

"Millie," Well done!"
"Ah... Mr. Guild,"

　Ms. Guild of the 42nd Ward Flower Guild is a very gentle and gentle human grandmother.
　Everyone likes him. He's such a nice person.

"It's all right to-day, so relax a little."
"Oh, but... Milly, you can do your own business, right?"
"Millie... something happened, didn't you?"
"...huh!"

　Amazing
　Mr. Guild, the head of the Guild, can see everything. He said, "I'm just living for a long time." It's like a ladybug. I don't know what you mean by Miri.

　...... oh, my God. It doesn't mean that the lady knows a lot about Miri or takes good care of her, but she's kind to everyone, so she's kind to Miri, that's what I mean, that's what I mean.

"Oh? Your face is kind of red,"
`Oh... oh, that's not it,'
"Uh-huh. Milly, you've been having a lot of fun lately. I'm sure you've met a wonderful person."
"Huh!"
"Mr. Jeanette, of the Yodamari-tei, and Mr. Norma, of the hardware store." I don't know what the pharmacist said... like that pretty sister. Well, you got to know a lot of wonderful people.
"Ah... oh, yes." They're all very nice people."

　...what a surprise!
　They say he's a nice person... I thought he meant someone I like... oh, and, but Milly, I don't really know that yet... besides, there aren't... of...

　There's a lovely clink.
　The wind seems to have shaken the plate Mr. Noma gave me.

"Oh, wow, this one? It's so pretty."
"Oh, I got this from Mr. Noma,"

　At the wedding of the Wendy's, they used the flowers for bouquet. A lot of people said the nectar‐flavored candy was delicious.
　Then someone said, "Mily's flower is a charm to make love come true."
　A lot of people have come to buy flowers since then.
　Everyone goes home happily carrying flowers.

　Can I give it to someone I like?
　If you imagine something like that, you can feel happy.

　So Mr. Dorma said, "I'll make you a plate that symbolizes love."
　the most prominent plate in a store
　Two birds are facing each other and holding two cherry trees in their mouths, one by one.

　It's too early to kiss, but I want to feel closer to the person I like.
　Mr. Noma said that he expressed such a fresh couple.

　It's popular with customers, and I think Miri is really wonderful.

　I thought Mr. Noma had a very girlish heart.

　Surrounded by wonderful people, I'm working hard at my favorite job, and that's how much I can support someone's happiness.
　I can't be happier than this.

　All the happiness that Miri is feeling right now is because of Tentomushi.
　Ever since I met Mr. Tentoumushi, every day has been really fun, happy, calm...

　...but Miri can't do anything for her.
　Now she's in trouble, and she's in agony, but she's......

"Millie,"

　A soft, warm hand pats my hair.

"Take a good rest somewhere," and I'm sure you'll feel lighter."
"...well. I'm sorry -- very well, you know?"
"You're welcome,"

　take off one's apron and leave it in one's room

　Where should I go? Where should I wonder.

　There's a place I want to go.
　But... I don't mind if Miri goes alone...

　But I'm sorry to waste it because Mr. Guild, the head of the Guild, has come all the way to say it for Mary.

　Putting her pochette over her shoulder, Milly leaves the house with her hair trimmed neatly.
　Leave the shop to the head of the guild. Thank you, Mr. Guild.

　The weather is clear.
　A pleasant breeze makes you feel a little better.

　Come to think of it, I was wondering if it would rain this year, when I heard a voice????

"Oh? Are you going out?"

　--the voice that she had wanted to hear most now,

"Mr. Ottoman,"
"Oh! I was going to go to the flower shop now, but you look busy."
"No! That's not the case! Free! Very free now!"

　I couldn't help but screamed out loud.
　Because "if I'm busy, I'll do it again next time," she said, and it looked like she'd go somewhere... and she'd just... forget about Miri... I was scared.

"How are you to-day?"
"Oh... I'm sorry, huh? I'm going to shout out loud."
"No, no. I was lucky to see something unusual."
`Well... I'm embarrassed, so don't do that.'

　I know it's rare... I'm just reflecting on it."You're done with your work, aren't you?"
"Well,"

　Now that Mr. Guild has taken charge of it, Miri's work is over for today.

"... but it's rather heavy equipment, isn't it?"
"What? ... Is that so? It'

　a pochette for everyday wear It's a little bit of an outing outfit... Why do you have such a cramp on your face, Mr. Tentoumushi?

"That Boston bag... Ah, is it a Pochett? It's the equipment for going to the woods."
`Well, well,'

　Hehe. He remembered the last time we went to the woods together. I'm glad.
　...but why are you looking at Pochett with wrinkles between your eyebrows?

"If it's not work, can I go with you?"
"Really!"

　I'm glad!

　Actually, I wanted to go to the forest with Miss Tentoumushi.
　I've always thought about it since I went there.

　When Mr. Guild told me to take my time somewhere, the first thing that came to mind was the forest. ...and, if possible, with the ladybug.

　Oh... really, ladybugs are amazing.
　It seems like you can see everything Millie is thinking about.
　Miri makes everything she says, "I wish I could do this," or "I wish I could do this."
　You look like a nice wizard.

"Is it okay for me to dress like this in the woods?"
"Yes, I don't mind. I'll protect you properly."

　Inside the pochette, there is also a pair of scissors that can be used to protect you.

"Then shall I ask you?"
`Well!'
"Huh?"
"... well, nothing,"

　start to say and stop

　Instead... How patronizing it is to say such a thing!
　I can only go to the woods with the lady, and she's happy, but she wants me to ask her to listen to her instead of protecting her...

"Well, let's hold it up with our hands to thank him."
`--?!?'

　......that's great.
　How do you know?
　Miri said, "I wish I could do this." She understood again.

"Well, I'm not sure if I'll thank you,"
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh... Ugh?"

　Hmm... ...a little too much of a feather, maybe... well, Mily... ...about the ladybug...

"Hah! You're a spoiled child."
`...well,'

　...that's not the case.
　But... Yeah. I think it's better if you think that way.

"Well, then,"
"Well......oh!"

　Why isn't it "yes?"
　Mr. Tentoumushi's words are a little strange... and they tickle me a little when I imitate them.

　My hands are warm... I think the heat has gone down to my chest.
　My heart is warm.

"Oh, that's it,"

　make a bold remark
　What Milly wants to do today.
　What I wanted to do with the ladybug.

"I want to eat apples,"
"Apple?"
"Well, you ate it when you went to the woods last time, didn't you? Apple..."

　Do you remember?
　I've already forgotten... Is that right?

"That was delicious, wasn't it?"
`Well!'

　Oh, my gosh!
　He remembered me.
　I'm very happy about that.

"And we'd like to eat apples together again. No, I don't think so."
"You can't do it. Let's eat together."
"Well... well... you know... you two must have one apple again."

　Whoa!
　I'm embarrassed!

　No, it's not.
　You're not trying to do that, are you?
　I've never eaten it before, so I'm a little nervous... but I think it was really good...
　Actually, when I went into the woods alone after that, I bit an apple in the same way... ...it wasn't that good.
　Delicious is delicious, but ordinary.

　I want to eat that delicious apple again.
　Maybe it's... I think I can eat it with Mr. Tentoumushi.

"Do you like the way you eat it?"
`Well, well... you seem to be doing something wrong... you know, I was a little nervous?'
"For God's sake, don't be a bad guy because of me... I'll get in trouble with all kinds of people."

　Whoops... I thought of Mr. Tenmushi, who was scolded by Mr. Jinet and Mr. Estella, and it kind of got me crazy.

"...wow,"

　It was sudden.
　The ladybug grips her head with a short moan."Mr. Ottoman!"
"... no, it's all right."
"But..."
"If you think of some angry people..."

　Ah.........
　I felt as if I had been confronted with reality.

　Mr. Tentomushi was fighting hard next to Miri, who was so excited...

"Sorry, I'm sorry... I'm kind of out on my own... Mr. Tento-mushi, it's a tough time."
"Don't look like that, I'm all right." what?"

　The ladybug's hand gently caresses her hair.
　The hair ornament of a large ladybug swings.

"I'm sure I'll remember. about all of them."

　Mr. Ottoman said gently.
　It's probably for everyone around you, Milly.

"Well... I'm sure it'll be all right... I believe it."

　Miss Tentoumushi doesn't know Miri's name now.
　If I can't remember... forget about Mary...

　I couldn't help but feel the pressure on my hands.
　Then--

"It's all right,"

　--that's all he said, and he... held back his hand.
　That alone made me wonder... that it was all right.

　Then they walked without a word until they reached the forest.
　I didn't say anything, but... I was thinking a lot about the ladybug.




　Arriving in the forest, the ladybug was still caught by insectivorous plants.

"d*mn it! Why am I the only one to aim at? What did I do!"
"Well... Mr. Tentoumushi, you have a habit of touching things by your side when you walk..."
"No, sir," If you see an ivy in front of you, you'll reject it, won't you?"
"If you turn it down, you'll be able to eat it with ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"A trap!"
"It's a trap!"

　Oh... Didn't you notice?
　That's how you prey on them.

"I will become a creature that eats insectivorous plants when I am reborn!"
"Well... I can eat without being reborn, right? Do you want to eat?"
"I don't want anything so sick!"

　Well... the contradiction of Mr. Ottoman...

　Sigh...
　But the sulking ladybug is kind of cute.
　If I had a younger brother, would it be like this?

"Oh, I feel like I have a reliable sister."
"Well... isn't it your sister?"
"Most of my acquaintances tend to be stronger when they are younger."
`Well... that may be true, but...'

　Maguda-chan and Percy-san's sister Mori-chan have solid images.
　On the other hand, like... uh, Regina... maybe I should be a little more careful... like cleaning the room.

"What...?"

　a familiar forest road for Miri
　This is the third time I've been to Tento Mushi.
　But Mr. Tento was the first to notice anything unusual.

"Apple... It's not raw."
"Well..."

　There were clusters of apple trees, a little open -- we got to what they called the apple plaza... and, as Mr. Tentoumushi said, there were no apples growing on the apple tree.

"Ah..."
"Is it because of the climate? I think it rained this time last year."
"Yes...maybe,"

　We've had little rain this year.
　Mr. Guild said that while All Bloom has a low-change climate, it has a delicate balance to help food grow, and that less rain like this year would cause a poor crop.

　But... I can't believe that none of them are alive... ...shocked.
　I was able to come with Mr. Tento-mushi...
　If I could feed her that apple... ...I thought she would remember me... ...because it was so delicious... ...

　Oh, my God.
　It's getting dark in front of me......

　I wanted to cheer you up... I wanted to cheer you up...
　After all, no matter what you do, Miri... I don't think so.

"Yes, I'll accept that challenge!"
"...what?"

　Suddenly, the lady pointed to an empty space and said, "Well, is that pointing to the forest?" and she cried out in that outfit.
　Challenge... What is it?

"Human beings grow day by day. In other words, this must be a challenge from the forest to 'don't be satisfied with the same thing as last time.'"
"From the forest...?"

　It's interesting.
　Milly, I never even thought of that.
　How can you think of a ladybug like that?

　If I could look at the world from the same perspective as Mr. Tentoumushi... I'm sure I'd see a much more vivid view.

"Well, I'll accept the challenge."

　I also try to imitate the ladybug and eat it.
　Hmm... I feel like I've gotten a little stronger.

"And what are you going to do?"
"Find something more delicious than apples and eat it together. Mission accomplished!"
"Wow... I think I'll have fun!"

　It's like a treasure hunt, and I'm so excited.

"Well, let's go find him."
"Oh! It's a competition to see which one is found first!"
"What!? Competition?"

　I haven't heard that.
　But the lady was already running.Ah... slurping!

"Wait, Mr. Ottoman!"

　I ran after him in a hurry.

"Hahaha! If you can catch up, I'll catch up with you!"

　In front of me, a ladybug... ...was preyed on.

"d*mn! Why am I the only one?"
"So, Mr. Ottoman, you touch the plants here and there..."
"... Uh, help me... ...sister,"
"Well, leave it to me, little brother."

　Mr. Tento Mushi, reflecting on his actions, is still a little cute.
　I can't help it. My sister will help you. ... whoop.




　Then I walked a little through the woods and finally found a cherry tree.

"Cherry?"
"It's very different from apples, isn't it?"
"No, no, they are both of the roses. In a broad sense, it can be said that they are companions."
"You know very well, Mr. Ottoman,"
"Huh!"
"...but it's very different from apples, isn't it?"
"... well,"

　I found two cherries.
　They hung close together by twigs.

　It's like...

"Ah..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Oh, no. It's nothing."

　The cherry reminded me of the plate Mr. Noma had made for me.
　Two birds that eat cherries that remain connected...

"Then shall we rub half?"

　and the lady was going to pick the cherry -- '

"Wait!"

　--I stopped without thinking.

"What? Can't you eat this?"
`Well... well, it's not like that.'

　What should I do? I'm so embarrassed.
　But...

"I'm going to eat with you, I'm
"Oh... like this?"

　Taking Milly's point into consideration, Ms. Tentomushi picked up a cherry "for every connected branch."

"And... like this?"

　Then he lifts up the branches and brings the cherry between himself and Miri.

　......huh...do, my heart is pounding.

"Well, then... a challenge, so..."

　My face is red with tension, but... my voice doesn't come out at all... but...
　It's too early to kiss, but I want to feel closer to the person I like.
　It's still a long way to go, but...

　I'm sure it's very delicious when we eat together.
　It's definitely delicious.

　Don't forget about today.
　About Miri... Never, never forget... ...please.

"Oh... just...."

　put one's face up to a cherry
　Then the ladybug's face approaches from over there.
　PU-I love!
　hold back one's escape

　No good
　Challenge. That's why.

　Before she hesitates, Miss Tentomushi puts her mouth on the cherry. on the brink of nibbling I'm looking at Milly like I'm kissing a cherry.

　I'm getting closer to this... ...huh, yeah?

　My throat rings with a purrs.
　Calm down . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　approach slowly
　It's like kissing, face to face...
　The ladybug's face... ...red, huh?
　Oh, what... Mr. Tentoumushi is embarrassed, too.

　I thought about it, and suddenly she looked cute...

"Yes!"

　Be prepared and stick to the cherry.

　We eat together connected cherries, as if they were birds on Noma's plate.
　More than apples... much, much, much more, much more exciting... ...I was so nervous that I couldn't taste it.

　As soon as she put the cherry in her mouth, she was so embarrassed that she jumped out with a bang.
　My heart hurts . . . . . . .

　A slightly hard cherry rolls in your mouth.
　Ugh......I can't see the face of the ladybug......

"Well... this is just as I expected... I was nervous."

　The voice of the ladybug turns red to the tips of her ears.
　Hey... Did I do too much?

"Don't ask too much excitement and run into strange hobbies?"
"But I won't.........."

　Because this is... ...to remind the lady of Miri...

"But I'll never forget it again." It's Milly said.

　......yeah.

　turn around involuntarily
　Then a slightly red-faced lady with a shy smile...

"Well, the cherries themselves were too nervous to taste at all."

　say the same thing as Millie thought

`Well... Mirimo,'

　I was told not to say my name in front of Mr. Tentoumushi, but... That's enough, right?
　I'll tell you again and again, never forget.

`Mily didn't quite understand the taste of cherry,'I was told to pass as usual, but it was still difficult.
　Miri already has a ladybug in her daily life, and that's only natural.

　at last as usual

　But now--

"Well, I didn't know the taste very well, so let's come and eat something again next time."
`--?!?'

　Next time...
　I've made the next appointment.

"Well! I'll come with you again next time,"

　Tento-mushi really always makes what Miri wants to be like this come true...
　That kind of ladybug, Mily...

"Oh, seeds..."

　That's what Mr. Tentoumushi looks for.
　Oh... did you drink it? Cherry seeds.
　Miri's still in her mouth... ...but she's going to "pep" in front of the ladybug...she might be embarrassed.

"Look,"
"...what?"

　The ladybugs extend her palm upwards.
　Oh, yeah... You're going to say "pep"?

　Uh... Uh.........chall right. Today is the day of challenge...!
　hey!

"...peek."

　Put seeds in the palm of the ladybug's hand so as not to drool as much as possible.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . on the palm of her hand. I've never seen a species.........uh!? This is a parasitic species!?

"Oh, no... I was going to show you the seeds of the magic grass, but..."
`Oh, my! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!'

　rub the palm of the ladybug's hand away from the seeds of the cherry seeds.
　I'm sorry for the dirt, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

　If the seeds of the sorcerer were to be germinated here, it would be a problem, so I would take them home properly . . . . .
　I have to wipe my mouth off completely!

"Millie,"
"...what?"
"I will never forget today."
"Forget it!"

　My whole body turned red, not just my face.
　My face and heart are so warm that it's hot.

I thought the voice of the ladybug laughing "ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

　Eat the cherry and get closer... ...it feels too close...

　But thank you for remembering me, Miss Tentomushi.


　I don't know what love is or what love is like yet, but...

　But, Mr. Tento-
　I thought that Miri loved the lady lady very much.
