"I think I'm a friend of mine, Jiro."
"Who taught you first?"

　Early in the morning, when I was sleeping in a soft bed, I woke up with Gilberta's bland voice.
　If you're joking like that, I wish you'd be a little more s*xy...Well, it's no use telling Gilberta.

"Breakfast is ready, in the dining-room." I want to eat it with my friends, Mr. Lucia."
"Are Estella's awake yet?"
"Probably not yet, I think," It's a little early. Time's up now."

　And Gilberta opened the curtains... Wow, it's completely dark.

"...what time is it now?"
"I think it will ring in two hours,"
"It's two o'clock, isn't it?"

　It's not morning yet!

"I was told to wake you up at this hour, Lucia,"
"Well, let's go wake Lucia up, too!"
"I have a message for you, sir. "The death penalty when you approach the bedroom," said Lucia."
"Can you say that to Gilberta? I'd like to ask him an hour's question, sir.

　They let me get up early to Gilberta for harassing me.

"I think you can be angry, too. once in a while."
"I have no reason to be angry. I'm glad to talk to you with my friend Jiro."
"... well, that's all right if you're all right with me... ...that's not good."

　In the end, it's no different from beating that lord.
　I'll keep him out of the feast in the Forty-second Ward. I'm sure you'll want to come.

"Gilberta, I'd like to invite you to the Forty-second Feast."
"I can't help it. I'll go, anchovy!"

　Lucia enters the room with a bang.
　Wouldn't you be able to improve the security equipment in this building? The smell of crime from the Lord doesn't bother me.

"Did you wake up after all?"
"Hmm. I'm going to see how comically troubled you are."
"They put their energy into useless places,"
"And will Hammarotan take part in the 'Banquet' in the 42 wards?"
"Of course. Hammaro will come again this time."
"What!? Why don't you say it quickly!"

　Lucia, a nobleman, lord, and daughter of my marriage, who broke into my bedroom without my permission, will get on my bed, take off my futon, stick her hand to the floor and look under the bed... you see. In the world?

"No one!? Give it back!"
"It's not yours!"
"Well, Estella's room!? Oops, Estella." The daughter before marriage is so disgraceful that I can't put her above the lord's dignity!"
"Don't say that you monopolize the leeward of the lord."

　Is there no lord in the wind from your point of view?"

　Hammaro headed for the church with the Torbeck crowd in a big luggage carriage.
　Lucia's carriage was filled with me, Estella and Natalia, and Umaro and Jambold.

　We were first taken to a church in the 24th arrondissement, where we parted once.
　At church Sophie and Sister Barbara brought the Womaroes together, and then they were given entrance permits for the coming men.
　I thought Sophie was going to show her disapproval, but she gave me permission to see if I thought it was necessary for this banquet.
　On top of that, he seemed to be cooperative in preparing for the "party."

　Maybe it's because the Womaroes were a race of beasts, or Sophie herself has hopes of restoring her relationship with Libeka.
　Whatever the reason, I'm relieved that things will go smoothly.

　The Torbeck factory's rearguard arrives at the stage of arrangements, with some arrangements made for today and tomorrow.
　The kids were staring at the carry-in with half-pounding and half-excited eyes.
　It seemed that he was not without fear of the flood of strangers, but rather excited by the unexpected events ahead.

　Even those little kids are excited, but Estella... doesn't shake.

"So Hammaro is staying in a tent at a church today."
"Why do you say that first, Gilberta?"
"Are you already asleep?"
`It's quite a good thing!'
"What are you going to do, you pervert!"

　Keep out!
　We must keep him out of jail!
　Forbidden from this building!

"Is Milly safe?"
"Yes! I'm worried if I leave it to the flower guild! Let's take it back!"
"Oh, no. If this flower guild is taking care of you! It's safer than being with you."

　Milly seems to have made an acquaintance with this flower guild through Lucia.
　He seems to have just greeted me when I had a Nectar candy, but this time he seems to have made a full‐fledged connection.
　The flower guild in 35 wards rarely saw the light of day because of its flower garden, but it was in the spotlight due to the manufacture of Nectar candy, and customers who had been mostly human until now expanded their customer base and gained customers from the Beasts and the Insects.
　So I heard from Gilberta that Milly has a very friendly feeling.

　He seems to be willing to cooperate with me this time too.
　The flowers were procured from the flower garden under the control of the lord and from the flower fields under the care of the flower guild.
　I guess Lucia is giving me money, saying...
　So I'm going to give Lucia some service.

"I want you to 'ah' the cake between Milly and Hammarotan!"

　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ." Absolutely

"Marsha is coming, tomorrow's feast."
"Oh, I see,"

　Dry!?Oh, this guy was so obsessed with Marsha!?

"Why? Did you fight with Marsha?"
"I don't think I'll do it, or "I'm not a child."

　Isn't it a very dry reaction?
　If you used to be there, you would have gone on a rampage, saying, "Oh my gosh! If there's even Martan, there's no reason why I'm not going on...

"Martan seems obsessed with going to the Forty-second Ward these days, hmm!"

　It's a fight, isn't it?
　Or is it Yakimochi?

"Why, if you pass under the cliff, you'll come under the Forty-two, and you'll have a plan to dig a safe cave to secure a passage, so that you can pass by a large ship! If you're going to Forty-two, you'll have to go through the Thirty-Fifth! Poop!"

　Well, that's because it's far away, isn't it?
　Or is Marsha trying to put the Ano route to practical use?
　the route under the cliffs of the 30th leg that I spoke to Marsha before
　"It started with my reasoning that the river must be connected to the sea by the presence of salmon in the river in the 42 wards, and it was a plan that would be difficult to realize, but I wish I could do it… but if it were realized, there would be no better story than that." You can get as many sea fish as you want, can't you? haha

"Martan would be happier if he had his scales rubbed against me than if he were looking at the anchovy's face!"
"Isn't that why you're being diverted?"

　It's fundamental to avoid danger zones in navigation.

"And, seriously enough, sir,"What do you think?"

　Lucia's voice suddenly changes the tone.
　I will answer seriously to that serious voice.

"I'd rather eat my breast than rub my scales."
"What are you talking about with a serious face, sir?"
"It's about breast milk!"
"Don't speak out loud what you know!"

　This guy makes a mess of himself, and when I tell him something like that, he accuses me of it. He is a cruel lord.

"Is everything going well to overturn 'BU'?"
"Oh, that's it,"

　Lucia apparently didn't forget.
　I was afraid I'd forgotten all about it, because I'd always say silly things when I saw him.

"Well, I'm having a hard time of it said.
"Unreliable..." Well, I don't think things will change any time soon... Hurry up, anchovy."
"That's what I'm going on.

　Anyway, today.
　pull Donnis this way at all costs
Failure is not tolerated at the banquet.

"Well, I don't care if you know. I'll let you bear all the responsibility, and at best I'll crawl around dying."

　Lucia gives a warm derision.
　In short, that's not it. Do you mean, "Go for it?"

"Well, holding them accountable means... that they'll give us a reward if things go well?"
"What!? Why should I let you touch it?"

　fold one's arms to hide one's milk.
　...Why do you decide that the reward I want = breast milk?

"Well... you've seen me grow a little lately... you're a man of course.

　Grow up?

"'Spirit's,'
"I'm growing up! But don't play 'Spiritual Judgment'! I'm a little nervous!"

　You don't call it 'growth' when it's just an error.
　Eat it after the number of cups has gone up!

"... and if you think Gilberta is very quiet... why would you sleep in my bed?"
"Well... it smells... it smells... it smells... it smells like... it smells like... it's like... it's like... of my friend Jiro's..."

　Oh, was he here, too? The Sniff-daughter...

"Just a little sleep is enough to make you smell... are you a raw fish?"
"I'm not trying to make an unexpected analogy,"
「…………」
「…………」
"...what?"
"It's not "Which," is it? Take Gilberta out of here. I'm still sleepy."

"You, now you smell Gilberta... " and so on and so on and so on and so on and so forth, I'll force the Gilberta into a noisy Lucia and drive her out of the room.
　Is he an active Regina... tired.
　When you have breakfast, go to church and set up a stall.
　OK. Let's take another nap.

　the twenty‐fourth arrondissement

`Sofee-chan, sofee-bo!'
"...will you please stop calling me, that embarrassing way of calling me.

　Opening the red iron gate door, Sophie with red eyes turns her face red.
　You're all red except for your hair.

"How are you getting ready?"
"Yes, everyone has been very kind to me and I'm doing well."
"Guidance?"

　I look at Sophie's words with Estella in spitefully.

"Throwing eyes, touching fingertips... And overlapping lips."
"Well, will you not put on a strange monologue, Natalia?"
"... my heart won't shake."
"I'll stab you,"

　They are a lively crowd in other wards.
　We go into the church too, leaving the fun duo alone.

"Oh, Mr. Jiro. The venue is almost complete."

　Womaro was in charge of the scene, with his twisted headband snapped.

"Oh, that makes you look like a real carpenter,"
"You're a full-time!"

　What!? Aren't you a Magda believer in your profession?"Hey, hey!
`Esteleone!'

　When we show up, the kids flock together.
　with nails and hammer in one's hand

"... did you let me help you?"
"Well... why did Sister Barbara do that?"

　I see. That's why I'm teaching you gently.
　Even though you're doing vocational training, you won't find many opportunities to see in person the work of a full-time worker like this.
　It would have been a good experience for the kids if they had even been allowed to experience it.

　I don't think I'm going to let you do the things that really bother you, I don't think I'm going to be late, and I don't think there's any problem.

"Did you have fun?"
```It was `Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo!''
"If you lick carpentry, you'll get hurt!?"

　Is it humorous not to say that we only let them do their jobs very easily?

"Thank you all for your help,"
"'Wow! She's beautiful!'"
"... oh my gosh."

　In the church, the information paper seemed to be read, and Natalia was treated as a 'beautiful woman' here.
　Sophie seemed to be fidgeting in front of Natalia, trying to imitate her movements and a little hair-flowing.
　I thought Sophie was a girl, too.

"Mr. Hammaro, can you show me the future?"
"From here on out, top secret!"

　Over there, Hammaro and a mantis-like kid in a strangely polite tone are jostling back and forth.
　...that was him, that was polite.

"Hey! I want to see it!"
`I see!'
"Yay!"

　The children flock together.

　a church yard, a square a short distance from the stall area
　a corner completely blindfolded with long stakes and large sheets of magical animal skin.
　Hamsters are guarding hard to prevent peeps.

　Playground equipment will be installed in that corner.
　The playground equipment is a surprise event that will be unveiled in the banquet. I can't show it to you can't show me.
　Bertina doesn't even know about this guy.
　Jeanette and the others know all the way to making playground equipment, but only the people here know the full story.
　I hope you'll get a lot of excitement on the show.

"Oh..."

　Sophie's ears twitch with a whisper that

"I think you're here,"

　Sophie nods lightly toward the gate.
　I think as I see him off his back.

"Well, did you hear Jeanette shake?"
"You're the only one who can tell that,"

　see Sophie off, ignoring Estella's voice
　He is light‐footed.

"Do you like to see Bertina?"
"That's true, isn't it?"

　Before I knew it, there was a dried monkey next to Estella.

"Oh my gosh... I see something that I can't see..."
"Huh, I'm living a good life."

　It seems that it is not a kind of spirit that binds the earth.
　Oh, if you look closely, it was Sister Barbara.

"She's been looking forward to making new friends with them."
"Are you talking about the church kids?"
"Yes, I've been chatting with the hamster children over there since last night. Children are strong, after all. We get along as if it's nothing to worry about."

　The handicaps of the body are not suitable.
　If there is one, I accept it as such.
　You have that kind of honesty. Even if it's difficult for adults, the kids will accept it as if it'

　I'd like you to learn from the adults who have a fixed mind.

"And even though I'm nervous about seeing you again after a long time, I still seem happy." ...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

　Today Sophie meets Libeka again.
　It's been six years.
　I'm not sure what's going to happen.

"What's the arrangement?"

　get confirmation from Natalia

"Your daughter is to go to the lord's house, and take Mr. Donnerty and Mr. Filman with her." I have already apologized in my letter for not being able to serve you."
"Well, there's a butler over there, so you can leave it to me."

　The butler and his servants are all very fond of Donnis, so they'll be happy to help you.

"At the same time, I will go to the malt factory and bring Libeka and Babaa."
"Here, Natalia,"
"Excuse me. I'll take Mr. Babaa with me.
"That's not the respectful person!"
"Mr. Barr,"
"Mr. Versa!"

　Are these people sick enough to die if they don't put manzai somewhere?
　Barbara, the church's baba frame, giggles.

"Mr. Jiro will stay here and be in charge of general production. The breast is moderate."
"I'll let you do it without it today!"

　Stupid, Estella.
　I'm going to sprinkle it in moderation!

"Yasilo~"
"... Magda's first landing."
"Wow! It's wide!"

　a Jeanette who comes waving her hand Magda and Loretta are followed by Marsha in a tank cart and Delia pushing the cart.
　From behind????

"It's been a long time, Sister Barbara,"

　Bertina walked slowly."Si, Sister........."

　A dried-out babaa begins to tremble with his hands shoulder-width apart.
　... are you going to blow yourself up!?

"Bet, Mr. Bertina..."

　Babaa, who is likely to be called to heaven by reckless exercise, runs to Bertina with the agility of a high-mobility fighter jet.
　And when she takes Bertina's hand, she moistens her eyes with emotion.

"Oh, I'm glad to see you again... I'm glad you look well."
"Barbara, too,"

　No, no. Babaa has changed, hasn't it?
　I can't have been that wrinkled since I was a kid.

"It's been six months, Mr. Bertina,"
"You've seen me lately, haven't you?"

　That won't change!

"There was a church gathering as soon as the new year began."

　While stroking Barbara's hair, Bertina explains to us this strange situation.
　Barbara clings to Bertina's waist, and Bertina caresses her hair gently.

　Oh... I don't like the picture, but my actions are like mother and daughter... I don't like the picture!

"Painfully, she looks like a saint who is being dragged into the dead."
"Loretta, you're thinking worse than I am."

　I thought, "What, Barbara is a hybrid of a crying old man and a sandy old woman?"

"Mr. Bertina's "sister you know" meant Sister Barbara, didn't it?"

　Estella asks such a question to Bertina, who is possessed by a crying old woman.
　Barbara would send some miso to Bertina for free.
　But...

"My relationship with Barbara is like that of a mother and a daughter, so I don't feel close to her. It's a family."
`Well, Bertie Ina!'

　a crying old woman
　Well then, you've been on friendly terms with me.

"Well, welcome, Sister Bertina," Well, welcome! Oh, this is the miso of a good restaurant!"

　Sophie is feeding Bertina with her ears "Peep!"
　It's you.

"Oh, Mr. Sophie," Have you changed your hairstyle a little?"
"Yes, yes! I saw her very beautiful, and now, copy her... strange?"
"No. She's very cute. I've become a lot more mature."
"Oh! I'm so happy!"
"Thank you. I'm the beauty of the rumor."
"Wait, don't cut in, Natalia,"

　Estella gets rid of Natalia... but it's not a good thing.

"And Jeanette,"
"Yes,"
"What about the boys?"
"Oh, that's..."

　With a troubled smile, Jeanette looks behind her.
　Near the exit of the forest, the children gathered and looked at us.

"...there are a lot of strangers in unknown places, so they seem to be a little shy."
"I'm shy... the kids in this church are not shy and healthy..."

　I looked at the children who had been raucous and merry until a moment ago, and found themselves looking at me in close proximity to the chapel's.
　...I've never seen it before. Where you guys are shy of strangers.

"What shall I do?"
"It's no use forcing me to pull you......Hammaro~"
`Unexpected call!'

　Try fishing in Hammaro, a mutual friend.

`A great gathering, sir!'

　...but my companions did not come.

"...a secluded, cloistered course..."
"It's okay, Hammaro! Everyone is just a little nervous! We love Hammaro!"
"Hummallow?"
"And you'll ask me back!"

　Jeanette is comforting Hammaro, who is depressed.
　I don't think Hammaro is good enough.

　Well, it's a bit early, but it's a problem that Jeanette and others can't concentrate on their preparations because they're worried about her kids.

　I take a bamboo dragonfly out of my waist bag.

"What!"

　Jeanette reacts sensitively and moves away with Hammaro in her arms.

"What is that?"

　Estella shows an interest in bamboo dragonflies.
　Magda and Loretta knew it because they cooked it silently in the Yodamari-tei, but was it their first time at Estella?

"Hey, you guys! I'm going to do something funny, so look at it!"

　He said, as the children of both churches would hear, and moved to an open place a short distance from the stall area.
　After checking the attention of the children, he fired a bamboo dragonfly into the sky with a bang.

````` ``Whoa!''

　When I glided through the air and caught a bamboo dragonfly coming back in a big arc, I saw a crowd of youngsters at my feet.
　The All-Stars are all mixed up in the 42nd and 24th wards.

"Nee, that'said he.
"Oh, my God!"
"Let me do it!"
"I want to!"

　Kids swarming with glittering eyes... are nice, but ugly. There's a guy who hits me lightly, never!

"Genet~"
"Yes!"

　It's best to throw a ball at Jeanette.

"Then let's hang out with our new friends."
"'Yes!'""Well, let's say hello first."
``Nice to meet you!'
"'Huh!'"

　Hold hands and exchange smiles.
　We've got to know each other now. What's wrong with you?
　He doesn't seem to have any particular feelings for a man without one arm or a girl with a big burn on her face.
　That's normal. That's your friend.

　There are things you can do and there are things you can't do, because all the kids are the same.

　No, even adults.
　Jeanette can't fool anyone like me. On the other hand, I can never lead such a noisy creature as Jeanette.
　I can't help but think of it when I see these kids in my hands. As expected of Jeanette. That's a big deal.

"As expected, Mr. Yashiro."
"What?"
"We've all become friends."
"No, it's your credit,"
"Thanks to Jiro's bamboo dragonfly."
"No, you put them together..."
``Tell me, brother!''
"'Ya, let me borrow it!'"
"I love the new toy!"

　Hammaro. That's a relief. Let me join you.
　The hamsters, who have been called members of the Tolbeck factory, seem to be on the right side of the play.
　Well, you know what?

"Loretta! Magda!"
"Yes! I've got a few ready!"
"...well, boys and girls,"
````` `Ah!''

　Loretta and Magda hand over the bamboo dragonflies I have prepared steadily to the children.
　There are many people who try to fly from the side of the person who gets it, and there are people who try to show off with the guy next to them, but they all seem to like it.

　I specially prepared another toy for one armless guy and another blind guy.

"Here, for you guys,"

　It is a toy with a string attached to the tip of the handle and a cylindrical bamboo attached to the tip of the string, and when the handle is held and shaken, the cylindrical part attached to the tip rotates and makes a sound like a cicada. Do you call it a "semi flute?"

　It is a toy with a simple mechanism, in which pine trees are applied to the end of the handle, and the bamboo tube attached to the end of the string increases the sound of the string rubbing, making it sound like a cicadas chirping.
　With this, you can ring with one hand and enjoy the sound even if you can'
　It is no less a popular toy than a bamboo dragonfly.
　Even if it's a small kid that a bamboo dragonfly can't fly, it's safe.

"Thank you!"
"It makes a strange noise,"

　Some kids came over here, intrigued by the jeezy, dry sound of bamboo cicadas.

"Yasilo! I think I can do well with bamboo!"

　I'm excited about Jeanette... Well, I think I can do that.

　And while Assunto came with the ingredients, he spent his time doing various things, rejoicing in the reunion, playing with new toys, and Estella, who boasted, "Well, I'm good at this kind of thing~" bumping a bamboo dragonfly into her forehead and crying, "Oh!?"

　The atmosphere is very good.
　All you have to do is... put your prey on the bait you've scattered.

　Now, shall we start preparing at a rapid pace?
