277 Episode 189: First Job of Todokeru No. 1



After Tracy and others had left, I had written to Maul at Estella's request, and I was back in Newtown.

"Ah, Jillo! You've come to a good time!"

 Arrival No. 1 seemed to be still under adjustment, and Norma and the other members of the hardware guild swarmed with tools clasped in their hands. ...give me a break.

"Just now the problem has been solved. Let me have a look at it and give you what you think."
"I don't care... rest for a moment, boys." There's a look of death."
"It's all right, this much... they're professionals..."
"No, Norma... your face is quite heroic, too."

 A bear pops up clearly under your eyes, and your hair bounces freely.
 When you're so haggard, you'll never have any s*x.
 I hope Norma doesn't go beyond the level of "lassitude."

"Look at that,"

 He points to a wooden box that acts as a loading platform floating about two meters high.
 If you look closely, there's a round piece of hardware attached to the bottom of the crate... like a bowl for cooking.
 If you put that on, the center of gravity changes and you can control the shaking just before the landing. Is that the way it is?

"Well, I'm watching," Hey! Put the crate down!"

 At Norma's signal, the Guild Ossan operates No. 1 and lowers the crate.
 The wooden box, which began to descend quietly, was only 40 centimeters away from the ground and began to rattle harder than ever before.

"It's not fixed at all!? It's getting worse!"
"Sweet, sweet, isn't it?" Bring it to me!"

 Once again, at Norma's signal, the guild Ossan begins to move.
 Pick up the wooden box that landed, remove the bowl from it and run this way.
 The top of the metal on the bowl was tightly fitted with a flat lid.

"Now, open it,"

 When asked to do so, open the lid of the metal on the handed bowl.
 There was a slightly thick milky white liquid inside.

"...what is this?"
"Whipped cream!"
"What are you doing!"
"Take advantage of that shake to make whipped cream!"
"It's not working!?"
`I'll do it a few dozen times, of which I'll be fluffy!'
"Oh, my dear fellow.

 Don't lick whipped cream! That's so delicate!

"But this is the only way to make use of the ano-shaking..."
"You're trying to control the shaking!? What are you trying to use?"
"Because it's impossible! It's not fixed! Whoo!"
"Someone! Bring Norma home and put her to sleep! She's so tired that she's becoming a funny character!"

 It's too stalemated to run wild in a strange direction... as is often the case, it's rare for a guy to go this far.
 Come to think of it, was Norma a pressure‐sensitive guy? I was definitely alone in front of the big stage...

"He's mostly corresponding with letters, so don't rush to find out the cause... go home and sleep tonight."
`Well... I see,'

 Norma walks away, puffing up her cheeks and glaring reproachfully at me.
 There's too much sadness in the back of him walking with his back curled up and shoulders lowered, which brings tears to his eyes.

"Yashiro-chan..."

 Ossan, who brought me a bowl, calls my name with a tearful look.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Norma, I was glad. on the back of Jiro I was so excited that I could be of help... ...that this is the result. I think I'm very depressed..."

 If you look back on what you said later in the conversation record, it might look like the line of a caring older and more beautiful woman, but now it's the muscular bearded Ossan who speaks this word now. ...I can't control the urge to hit him.

"Come on, please," I'll comfort him.
"Cheer up! Cheer up! Don't break my heart even if your face is closer than you need!"
"Oh, no! I don't think so! I want you to cheer Norma up."

 Bacca, you. I feel like I'm going to break my heart now.

"Otherwise, Norma... ...may break."
「…………」
"Womaro-tan is all I can do to help Yashiro-chan, and I'm...." You know how Norma feels."
"...I don't know,"

 I don't understand it at all.

"Why is it "Tan"
"Oh, no! It's just my habit...!"
"Do you always call me that..."
"Oh, he's cute, he's cute!"

 Hahaha, I'll teach Womaro next time. "You're so popular!"

 --however,
 As I look at Norma's back as she moves away, I feel like I can't leave her alone.
 To be recognized, one's mind goes ahead and spins wildly. It's not that I don't have that kind of experience. That's why I don't understand the heavy feelings of the time.

 ...it's nothing to be so thoughtful about... ...but it's a matter of moving.........well...

"Norma!"

 It's just this time.
 I'm basically the type that doesn't spoil others.

"Thank you for making it in a hurry! Let me use it right away, thank you!"They worked so hard that they could send a letter to Maul now.
 If it were true, it would have taken a few more days. I'm grateful to be able to move on to the next action without any loss.
 You may do it with great gratitude.

"Take a good rest and fix it perfectly." I'm looking forward to it."

 You can give me such a word.

"You can't rest if you expect Jiro to! Get up, boys! We'll start repairing again!"
"No, go home!"
"... Yashiro-chan... ...or we... ...will die?"
"No, no, no! You told me to comfort you!"

 Norma is also Norma, and she's not getting well with all this. It's too simple, isn't it?
 My expectations won't be worth a yen.

"Please, Jiro," Let Norma dented in moderation and say, 'I'm going to sleep now!'"
`Don't make difficult demands!'

 How can you get into that situation!?

"...I'm going to die, you know?"
"Oh, are you done!?"

 Why do you have to look so reproachful!?
 I don't think it's my fault!

 ...... oh my God!
 All I have to do is put him to sleep, right? Anyway, I have to put him to sleep!?
 Then I'll do it by hand.

"Norma! Lack of sleep is a big enemy of your skin!"
"I don't think so, my dear fellow.
"Is it all right to ruin a beautiful woman!"
"'Biz……………………Beautiful…………………'""
"No, you're not, my dear! Don't leave Norma behind and put your hands on her cheeks and dye her cheeks red!"

 Other than Norma, the hardware guilds (all of whom are Mukimuki Ossans) react quickly and flash their eyes at me shyly.
 It's annoying as if you're surrounded by countless flies. Oh, if I had any insecticide, I'd spray it on you!

"Yasilo-chan, you... about us, who were becoming fascinated by Umaro-tan... like that..."
`I didn't think!'
"... Jillotane,"
"Stop it!"

 It's not for you guys!
 I told Norma! Only Norma!

"Hey, Norma. You too, to these old men..."

 He turned his eyes to Norma, and was surprised.

"………………………"...wow......by, by the way......

 Norma was frozen with a bright red face.
 Steam is rising slightly from the top of the head.

"Ah, Atashi! I'll take care of your skin!"
"'We'll be with you!'"
"Look, boys! We're not just hardware shops!"
"'Yes! We're fascinated by the combination of technology and beauty.'"A hardware store!"""
"That's right! Hardware must combine performance and beauty!"
"'Beauty is precious!'"
"What about them!"
"'Beautiful!'"
"The hardware guild!"
"'Beautiful!'"
"Well! I'll keep sleeping for three days and three nights to get back what I had yesterday!"
``Huh!'

 ...to supplement again, just in case.
 Other than Norma, they are Mukkimki bearded bosses.

"Palm.........I'm going home!"

 Once Norma turned to me, she froze until her face turned red, then turned away and ran away.
 ......I don't think sleeping too much is good for your skin. Well, I don't think so.

"Thank you, Yashiro-chan.
"...no,"

 There's no need for courtesy.
 ...because it was the result of my unexpected misdirection.

"And......thank you for calling us beautiful!"
"No, I didn't!"
"We're all Jiro-chan!"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
``Good-bye, Jillo!''
"Stop it!"

 a mustache population running away in droves
 ......I'm sure they were too tired to think. That's right, that must be sure. When you wake up in bed, your brain should be formatted. ......if you don't, I'll force you right away.

"...huh. You've wasted your time and strength on stupid things."

 the clean‐out cast of hardware guilds
 Silence was back around the first one.

"Squeezing.

 I noticed the small voice in such silence.

"Oh, you've found me."
"Is it Bertina?"

 Looking back, I saw Bertina standing.He walks over here looking happy to see where he was watching from.

"As expected, Mr. Yashiro is very popular."
"I wish I had a veto,"
"Uh-huh. Love is both free and free."
"It seems to be true that there is nothing scarier than free,"

 I'm listening to such a joke with a happy face.
 His eyes suddenly turned to me... an indescribable warmth enveloped me.

 Bertina's occasional maternal eyes.
 a tickling stare that is neither scolding, praising, nor worrying

 He's come all the way here to see me. in order to say something

"Mr. Jiro,"

 Then, after I notice it and confirm that we are ready, slowly stretch out our arms.
 Bertina's fingertips pat her cheek as she approached her gently.

"You seem to be working very hard."

 For a moment, something cold runs down my spine.
 I felt like a child who had told a bad lie.
 Tension runs like awkwardness when I'm convinced that my poor lie has been revealed.

 But instead of being scolded, Bertina just smiled quietly and stared at me.

"I like the way Yashiro is working hard. But???????"

 It's not a sermon.
 It's neither persuasion nor advice.
 Bertina says in a casual tone.

"When I do my best, I like 'Like Yashiro.'"

 a mere remark
 In a slightly different way of looking at it... please?

"Do you think it's absurd?"
"No. It just doesn't look like it."

 unsympathetic

 Now I'm meeting the lords of BU at Estella's request.
 in order to get rid of the sparks falling on the 42nd leg

 It's definitely a help to others, and I've never taken the initiative in helping them before.

 Is that why it's not like that?


 No... No way.


"Yashiro doesn't seem to be having much fun now, so that's just a little bit of that, but I'm worried."

 It's because I'm working on a sense of mission.

"You have to do it like this."
"I'm sure it's better to do this."????

 It's not for me, it's... for everyone.

"Mr. Jiro laughs happily at all times. I'm sure you haven't noticed it yourself. Like this... Like this...

 As she spoke, Bertina scratched her eyebrows with her left thumb and forefinger, and lifted the corners of her mouth with her right forefinger. And I'm going to give you a very nasty smile. ...it doesn't look so 'funny' at all?"

"...what's the smile about it?"
"Huh... I thought you did a good job, but didn't you look like me?"

 See you!
 I don't have a hobby of staring at my smile in the mirror.
 However, if I were to put it bluntly, I think it was well expressed.

"You look very calm now."
"Isn't it a good thing?"
"I suppose so, if you're an ordinary person,"

 Whoo! I'm not normal, am I'm not normal.
 That's quite a direct abuse.

"My face now looks a little like what it was back then... when I came to ask him to go to a big eater."

 an eating contest held jointly by the 42 wards and the 2 neighboring wards
 The availability of Bertina was a matter of grave importance for the 42nd leg.
 That's why I came to Bertina to appeal directly... ...for the Forty-second leg.


 I see.


 Was it the same then?
 The profit for me was negligent, and I was acting with the existence of the 42 wards at my top priority.
 It's disturbing for Bertina, isn't it?

 ...and, if Bertina is aware, Jeanette, too.

"It is strange that we can rest easy if we are doing something cute and evil,"
"I remember being told to be a good boy to rot."
"So I guess he didn't know much about Mr. Jiro."

 ...it's true that the landlady didn't tell me to be a good boy or study.
 It was usually their homeroom teachers or mentors who said such things.

"Do people who know me well realize that it is impossible for a bad boy to change his mind?"
"No. It's the same reason that no one says, 'Be like a cat.'"

 So I'm a 'good boy'? Who?
 If you say such a thing, you'll be made a frog.

"Then, when the heat wave hits, wear a bikini for Bertina~"
"Uh-huh. That's not what you want, is it?

 No, I want it.
 I really want to see it.
 I'd like you to wear a sharp guy who can't hide hidden giant breasts!

"Please, Mr. Jillo is like Mr. Jillo... and I'm sure Jeanette won't miss him any more."

 ... "Already."
 Jeanette was no longer lonely about being left behind after that big eatery.
 But... I see. Are you feeling any anxiety?

"Well, indeed," and if Bertina leaves some food, I shall not be pleased."
"Hmm. You're worried about me."
"Don't be afraid of natural disasters."
"That's a big deal, isn't it? Then let's go eat donuts now."
"No, that's a metaphor..."
"I want chocolate and peanut doughnuts".
「…………」
"Oh, it doesn't have to be one dish?""... oh, I'm being treated to,"
"I was told by Jeanette, 'You've gotten better at spoiling lately.' Maybe it's because of Mr. Jiro."

 I guess it's my "blame.

"...when I send you a letter,"
"It's the first one, isn't it? I want to see it moving."

 Accompanied by Bertina with glittering eyes, I headed to the first wooden box.
 I opened the lid to put the letter in...

"Couscapee... ya!"

 Hammaro was sleeping in a crate.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 I used to sleep soundly.

Hammaro, get up. I'd like to send you a letter."
"Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum?"
"It's you, my friend," Get off."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"What acrobatic cradle?"

 Baby, I can't stand the raw wound, I'm afraid.

"Brother, if you want to send me a letter, I'll do it!"
"Can you do it?"
"Starting today!"
"Where did you sign a contract with..."

 Leave a letter to Hammaro, a self-styled professional, and look at the crate moving away.
 Hammaro turns on the anti-fall device by manipulating the base with a familiar hand, and pulls it when he ropes.
 The crate rises silently and follows it with a gaze.

 Eventually, the bell rings far above us, informing us that the letter has arrived safely.
 I'm sure you'll get back the letter by tomorrow.

"That's a great thing! How could I get in touch with other wards while I was in the Forty-two wards?"
"Only with a very limited number of people in the twenty-ninth leg,"
"If the Yodamari-tei and the church could communicate in this way, it would be very convenient."

 I don't think it's possible to have a radio or a degraded phone because the positional relationship is not up and down.
 If that happens...

"If that happens, they will always bring me food from Yangdalutei."

 Yeah. It's a civilization past the 42nd leg. It's not permitted.
 ...delivering.
 I can't help being called for every hour on the phone.

"I'm going home soon,"

 call out to Bertina, who looks up at the arrival No. 1
 Hammaro, who had finished his work, rushed up to my right hand and jumped at me.
 ...I didn't tell you.

"Will Hammaro treat you to donuts?"
`Not bushy!'
"Hey. What's Hammaro-san too? What are you talking about on the assumption that you'll be treated to something more?"
"I'm good at spoiling,"
"That's a pity. You have to choose the person you want to work with."
"Yes, so I only use it for those who seem to be effective."

 ......hey!

"...tell Jeanette,"
"Uh-huh. Let's do that."
"'I'll do it,'"
"Uh-huh.

 It's no use saying anything more to Bertina, who looks happy no matter what she says.
 It seems that I am endowed with a sweet and amiable personality. ... I'm going to have a hard time someday, and I'm going to keep in touch with people with that assumption.

 But, well, you can thank me for making you realize the good things.
 I'll ask Jeanette, donut.
 I'm dead set against it, but Jeanette is so nice that she'll treat me to dinner.


 Looking up at the red sky, I was beginning to recalculate the profits that I might get from this uproar.
 I wonder if there's anything like that that that could generate a positive from scratch instead of zeroing out of zero.

"It won't rain this year."

 When Bertina muttered next to me, I replied, "Well, that's right," and as I walked, I was happily playing the abacus in my brain.
