We reached Milly's house, but the florist was, in rare circumstances, closed.
　There was only one piece of information that reassured Jeanette, even though the blood drained from her face.
　It seems unlikely that Milly fell down.

　There was a notice on the shop door like this.


"Dear the customer who came to our store,
　I'm sorry, but I'm going to close the shop for a while to take care of the forest.'


"Mr. Milly, are you pushing yourself too hard?"

　Well, how about that?
　To protect the forest, it's best to push yourself too hard.

　The situation in the forest must be so severe that you have to close your shop.
　Usually, someone from the flower arrangement guild takes over the shopkeeper, but this time they probably won't be able to split the staff.
　It can be said that all the flower guilds are protecting the forest.

"I don't think you're in the shop for now,"
"Well... if I go to the woods, I wonder if I can see you... ...but that might cause you trouble."
"But, Jeanette," There may be something I can do to help you."
"Well, that'said he. If we do our best together, things will be a little better than they are now!"

　Even if you say you'll do your best, you probably don't know exactly what to do.
　For some reason, I feel like I have to do my best. That's dangerous!

"... Oops!"

　Then I heard a faint voice.
　The owner of the voice, who even felt nostalgic, was wide-eyed and stiff as he saw us talking in front of the shop.

"Mr. Millie,"

　As soon as Jeanette saw Milly, she ran up to her.

"... Mr. Jinetto... Mr. Tento-mushi and Mr. Estella... what's the matter?"

　Milly seemed surprised that we had rushed together.
　But seeing Jeanette with a tearful face and Estella with a calm smile that reassures the other person, Milly seems to have guessed the situation.
　The big eyes that had been wide open were distorted for a moment and narrowed to tears.

"...worried, did you call him?"
"No... it's all right... it's all right."

　In a choking voice, Jeanette grabs Milly's hand.
　Your whole body says you were worried, Jeanette.

　Jeanette must have been relieved to see Milly's face, but... when she's nervous, don't let Milly cry.

"Our employees were worried, too."

　relax one's muscles and talk lightly

"Magda and... um, what was it? You know, uh... it's kind of..."
"...d*mn. I pity you if you forget the name of Mr. Loretta, don't you?"

　My little shoulders shake when I chuckle.
　Yeah. Milly should be smiling after all.

　But, Loretta. That's great of you.
The word "normal" has come to be known to everyone.

"Well, Milly,"

　With a gentle voice, Estella speaks to Milly.
　Walk up close and look into the little Milly's face.

"If you have any trouble, you must consult me at once."
"But... it's a matter of the ladies..."
"What are you talking about?" I am the lord, and the Milly's problem is mine."

　Estella smiles confidently, as if she had the capacity to take care of the problems of the people living in this city.

"And,"

　Estella's smile has changed from the lord's smile to the usual bright one, creating an atmosphere of enjoying wordplay.

"There are only people here that you can be more spoiled,"

　First of all, I hit myself on the chest.

"With the lord you can rely on,"

　And then I patted Jeanette on the shoulder.

"With your kind-hearted friend,"

　Finally, he gave me a very hateful smile.

"He's the nicest man in the town, for what?"

　That's the nicest guy in the town.
　I'm sure you mean Jeanette.

　Still, Milly giggles funnyly... it's hard to deny.

"There is an extra charge for my 'good-natured mode,' but should I charge the lord?"
"No, I think I'll ask the Flower Guild for it this time."
"What!"

　At Estella's words, Milly exclaims in surprise, and then turns her anxious eyes on me.
　d*mn it! Estella!
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"I'll strip Estella of her profits so that she won't find out later."
"I wish you would do such a trick in your heart without saying it,"

　You must have thought it was a joke when you heard our conversation.
　Milly giggled again.

　Hmm, Milly... ...because I'm serious? I'll definitely charge you. at Estella

"Millie,"

　Jeanette crouches down in front of Milly and says in a serious voice, looking up into her big eyes.

"I want to help Milly".
"... Mr. Jinetto...."
"I've been wondering what to do. I was so frustrated that I couldn't do anything because I was lost, worried, and couldn't do anything about it. But Yashiro-san and everyone pushed me on the back."

　Milly's eyes look at me for a moment and go back to Jeanette.
　Waiting for that, Jeanette... was unusual for Jeanette... she expressed her thoughts with a clear voice.

"I'm worried about Mr. Milly," If you have any trouble, let me help you."

　I'm always more nervous than anyone I know because I'm afraid I'll be the first to rush to a crisis.

　He has a very bad nature.
　willingly offer for a disadvantageous role that is less rewarding

　That's a guy called Jeanette.

"But... this is a problem with the flower arrangement guild, so I don't want to bother you all."
"Well, Milly,"

　I say what I think is most effective to Milly, who is no less hesitant to cause trouble to others than Jeanette.

"Can you help Jinet?"
"... Mr. Jinetto?"
"Oh, I'm so worried about Milly that I can't get a job. Can you please let Jeanette cook for me this time?"Now that she says so, Milly can no longer deny it.
　In addition, the negative word "obsessed" will also help Jeanette, who is worried that she may be intrusive.
　A little blame can save you -- sometimes.

"...well. All right. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"No, thank you very much."

　Two tearful smiles stare each other in the face to face.

　As I watched them, Estella sent me a small V sign.
　Hmm, you're noisy.
　I'll charge you extra for this, too.

"Well... will you come up, then?"
"Is that all right?"
`Well... Milly, it's time for a break,'

　Perhaps they are taking care of the forest all day long.
　They take turns resting and protecting the forest.

"Isn't he sleeping?"
"What!? Then I have to take a good rest..."
"Yes. I don't want to sleep at all, Milly... and I want to talk to everyone... and I'm sure you'll feel better."

　Jeanette panics, but Milly soothes it. The remark seemed to be true.
　I don't know if it's true that I don't want to sleep, but I guess it's true that I want to talk.
　They seem too busy to relax, and talking to a friend they can't care about will be a change of pace. When you're really tired, that kind of change is more helpful than anything else. There are times like that.

"That's just right, isn't it?" Jeanette, make me a meal."
"Oh, that's right, Mr. Milly." Aren't you hungry? I brought some ingredients."
"Oh... I'm so happy! Actually, I only eat nuts these days... I'm hungry."

　a hee‐hee smile
　You only ate nuts, didn't you? I guess it's not money but time that doesn't have it.

"Then I'll rent you a kitchen."
"Well, this way. Mr. Ottoman and Mr. Estella, wait a minute... ...the room is a mess..."

　He glances at me and immediately turns away.
　... well, it takes some preparation to get him into the room.

"If you don't mind, shall I?"
"No! No! No! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　Milly starts to cry out loud, and then she is surprised and starts to cringe, perhaps suddenly embarrassed.

`...I'd like to talk to Mr. Tento-mushi, too.'

　I'd like to take him home if he said such a nasty thing to me with his upturned eyes."

"Astella. I'd like to take out Milly, please.
"At that moment, I will banish you from the Forty-two wards under the authority of the lord."
"Millie and I are going to escape..."
"Leave Milly alone," He is an important citizen of our territory."

　Do you mean that I'm not important to you, this tyrannical lord?

　But Milly and Jeanette, who looked anxious, were all giggling... and I'll forgive you for this once.

`Then wait a minute... Let's see, Mr. Jinet,'
"Yes, then, I'll go first."

　Jeanette walks into the store, bowing to Estella and me.
　Shortly afterwards, Milly flashed back and stared at me through the shop door.

"...don't peep, don't you?"
"Wow, I'm not trusted."
"It's all right, Milly," and I'll keep it to myself."
"He doesn't trust me, either, does he?"

　Again, with a chuckle, Milly went into the back of the shop.

　Estella and I are left in front of the store.

"... may I be honest with you?"

　As soon as the two worried people were gone, Estella approached me like that.
　When Estella takes such consideration into consideration, does it mean that it has reached a dangerous level?
　Estella nodded silently as she urged her to continue.
　Then, the tone of their voice is somewhat lowered and they start talking.

"I've been waiting for a consultation from all sides... all sorts of things."
"A lot of things..."

　What a disgusting [sounding!
　Big problems have not yet arisen, but there are smoldering here and there that could develop into big problems. That's what it looks like.

"The water level in the river is very low,"
"That's what Loretta said,"
"If you can feel it upstream, that means it's more serious downstream."
"Well, that's what happens,"

　There is more water near the source.
　Because while the river flows, the water comes into contact with the outside air and evaporates in the sun. The rest will sink into the ground.
　Anyway, the lower you go, the lower the water level goes.

　If that's the case, Delia may be worried all the time.

"Mormat cried at me,"
"To Mormat?"

　I thought, "Why is the river water?", when I realized.

"Did the water stop flowing into the waterway?"
"That's what it is,"

　There is a channel that draws water from the river beside Mormat's field.
　Last year, the water was rising there to submerge the field.

"What's wrong with the reservoir you built last year? There must have been a lot of water there."

　There is a reservoir dug by hamsters, residents of what was still called slums, to drain the submerged fields. The location is also close to Mormat's field and should be available."It's all over the place,"
"Well... Is that so?"
"I'm out of my minded.

　What? The air is getting heavier, so I just tried to make it a little lighter...

"If you keep talking in a heavy atmosphere, you're more likely to end up with negative conclusions. You don't know how heavy it is, but..."
"Don't be rude while staring at others in the chest!"
".........I'm out of it said.
"Don't be rude while staring at others in the chest!"

　Estella with her empty chest hidden and her body turned away.
　Even if you hide it now, your flatness is a well‐known fact.

"Didn't Delia say anything?"
"There's nothing from the river-fishing guild," I don't think it's strange to be the first to talk about it..."

　Didn't you hear from Delia...

"Then maybe Delia is closer to the limit,"
"What? Aren't you not coming to consulting me because you still have time?"
"If you're optimistic, that's what it looks like, but probably not. Maybe Delia..."

　I was about to talk about it when Milly peeped through the opening of the shop door.

"Oh, wait for me!" Come in now, my dear?"

　I get a little nervous when I invite an acquaintance to my house for the first time.
　Even I'm nervous, so Milly must be as embarrassed as a fireman.
　The soft cheeks turn red to look like strawberry Daifuku.

"I'd like to say 'hmm',"
"I agree with that, but if you do, you'll be banished."
"Astella, there's a magic in this city called the 'Judgment of the Spirit'..."
"That's too bad. I'm dead serious."

　... oh my gosh!
　If this is the case, it is impossible to steal Estella's eyes and "hammer" her.
　Oh, I want to go crazy.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... what's the story?
"Oh, it's all right, don't worry. It's the usual nonsense."

　Are you saying that my stories are always silly?
　Few people are as well educated as I am. What a rude fellow!

"Well, then... I don't mind, but... go ahead."
"I'll interrupt you,"

　Milly, embarrassed, stands at the entrance of the shop and invites us in.
　Estella happily entered the shop, and I followed her.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"

　Just before I stepped into the store, Milly stopped me.
　Milly is looking up at me with a desperate look on her face.

"Now, lately, all the time... ...because I've been busy..."

　Hmm?
　I heard that earlier, but...

"So . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　The bottom line is that I could have welcomed you in a more perfect condition if I had known you beforehand... because I was not satisfied with what I had done.

"All right. Don't take that into consideration and let me see your room."
"Well... I'd be glad if you didn't look at me too much."

　Hahaha!
　It's like instincts etched in a man's DNA to humiliate a girl.
　But it's better not to waste shame on him.

"Yes, yes. Then let me go up."
`Well, um... um... come on, don't you said.

　Thank you very much for welcoming our precious guests.
　Maybe you're longing for a home party or something like that. That's what it looks like.

"Well... Here you go."

　Saying that, Milly walks in front of me.
　Estella seems to let me go first, but I won't let her go first.

　Don't let your guard down when you're off guard.
　What a touchy feeling!
　......it may just be that they are not trusted.

　Walk through the store to be watched by Milly and go through the door leading to the back of it -- into the living space.

　It was different from the fragrance of flowers in the store... I was a little confused about what to express... but it smelled like millimeter.

"Ah, Mr. Jiro. Could you help me set the table?"

　While we were waiting outside, Jeanette's food seemed to be ready, and the delicious steaming consomme soup was giving off an unbearable aroma.

"Oh, that's about it, Milly,"
"No. Miss Millie, please rest."

　Worrying about the hard work of Milly, Jeanette asserts once and for all.
　Jeanette seems to be very much indebted to Milly.

"It's no use ordering the manager," Milly, do you have a tray?"
"Well, well. Next to the cupboard..."
"All right. Then I'll carry you, Milly, go ahead and keep the door open."
"Uh, uh... uh... thanks, you know?"

　With an apologetic face, Milly runs first.

"Well, Jeanette. Obon...
"Mr. Jiro,"

　Jeanette comes up to see that Milly is gone.
　Then he quickly approached my ear and whispered.

"Please save Milly".

　His voice, uttered in a breath, sounded a little husky... strangely chilling down my spine.

"...what can I do to help you?"
"Please," I'm sure Mr. Yashiro will come up with something to help eliminate Milly's troubles."I don't care if you think so...

"I hope you will understand the trouble and trouble I have caused you." Please listen to my selfishness."

　It's like Jeanette to describe that wish as "my selfishness."

"I'll do anything I can," Please..."

　... really, this is... Whether it has changed or not...

"As I've said before, don't use the word 'do anything' without hesitation. What do you expect from me to take my word from you know.
"Yes, I know."

　If you know it, why are you so lightly...

"I understood and said, 'I'll do anything.'"
"... to?"
"That's all I'm saying."

　In other words, Jeannette... ...when she understands that kind of thing and the danger that it might be done to me and says, "I'll do anything." ...that's what I mean...

"Stupid,"
"Yuck!"

　give a ginette a crack

"It's all exaggerated,"

　Jeanette with tearful eyes rubbing her slightly red forehead.
　I'll forgive you for your stupid remark this time, so don't say this again.

　With that in mind... I'm afraid... I'll tell you this.

"If there's anything I can do, I'll do what I can."
"...Mr. Jiro......Yes." please."

　I didn't know that I was willing to devote myself to such a trifle."

"But! I'll have everything all to myself if there's anything that's going to make money!"
"Such... yes." and I'll help you pick it up."

　It's not really rolling.
　Come on, this is.........

"Well, let's carry it,"
"Yes,"

　Place a Jeanette special on a tray and head to the room where Milly waits.

　In the meantime, I kept silent.
　The conversation, which had just ended, had no choice but to run through the brain.
　Well, I mean...
"Anything" in "I'll Do Anything" means mixed bathing or sleeping together -- which is better?
　d*mn it! I'm starting to feel strangely frustrated when I think that neither of them will come true anymore!
　I feel like I lost something! d*mn it! d*mn it!

"Yasilo, what's the matter?"
"Nothing special,"

　If you're worried, don't disturb my mind unnecessarily!
　Anyway, from now on... Don't talk about anything so dangerous.
