I came to Thor's house with two uncles in tow.

'Hey, Thor!　Hello?

　I say as I knock on the door, and I hear a slamming sound from Thor's house.

　Then slowly the front door opens and Thor gives me a wary look.

''Well it's only Al, right?''

Mr. Murat would be eating at my house right now.

　I said, sensing Thor's intentions, and he let out a breath of relief.

'What a relief. I thought Al said something he didn't want and Mom came home mad at him.

'On the contrary, you've told me things you don't need, haven't you?　Because of Thor, I had to help Mom Erna pull weeds earlier to prepare the vegetable garden.

'What?　I didn't tell your mom or anything, okay?

'You told Mr. Murat, didn't you?　That's how I got through to Mother Erna.

'..........Ha!　Yeah, right!　Everything I tell my mom will be spread at the auntie conference.......

　Thor suppresses his mouth as if he's huffing and puffing upon hearing my words.

　.........Hey, I'm terribly scared to see that reaction.

　If they find out you're talking about an auntie conference or something like that, the aunties of the village - the sisters will shove you later.

Be careful what you say to the women.　They're spreading the word so fast, you know?

'Women talk, it's like a stress reliever. You hear a lot of rumors about Thor and Asmo and Al?

　Lumumba and Gates, who are behind me, say it with an empirical tone.

　Yeah, yeah, Thor and Asmo, who are not particularly rogue, are often rumored by the sisters to be.......what? Why do I have to be in the mix?

'Is it okay?　I didn't tell you about the complaints about Elinora-sama that I Al was leaking... right?

Hey, that little reaction makes me not want to go home today...

　I feel like I've said a lot of things to Thor.

　In order to shatter the illusions that Thor had about Sister Elinora, I told him about her faults.

''........Thor, you didn't tell Murat-san and sister Emma about the bad things I said about Sister Elinora, did you?

'No, I think I told you. I think I asked my sister and mother about it in protest because Al said something about Lady Elinora being slutty and lying about it,

What's the matter with you?

You're the one who didn't hear what I said about your sister's bad behavior!

　I unintentionally grab Thor's chest, and he grabs my chest back, revealing his frustration.



　Thor's face turns pale as he looks away from me at my words.

　The thought of it all being told at today's girl's party and being passed on to each of my sisters makes me feel heavy.

　Me and Thor both take our hands off the chest and my mind goes blank.

'Oh well, you're going to play with all the panels and stuff today, aren't you?

I don't blame you for thinking the hard way. Let's just enjoy the fun now.

　Roomba grabbed my shoulder and Gates grabbed Thor's shoulder and said.

　That's the freedom-loving adventurers I've come to expect. What they say is still different.

　It's an escape idea that keeps me from thinking about something I don't like completely, but I don't hate it.

You're right. No matter what painful things may lie ahead, this time of the moment is irreplaceable.

Yeah, that's right. There's no point in being scared of a future that's too painful to be certain, right?

　Me and Thor, admonished by Roomba and Gates, say with a radiant smile.

　That's right. You can't be sure they're going to be pissed off.

　We might just have a normal chat at a girls' night out without our complaints being brought up.

　We should be having a good time now instead of dreading an uncertain and dark future. That's a famous saying between me and Thor.

'Okay, go up to my house!　I got off work today and there's nobody home!　We can play to our heart's content!

'Yes!　I'm coming in!

'Oh!　I'm coming in!

Sorry to bother you.

　At Thor's urging with a radiant smile, we go up to his house one by one.

　It's the first time I've been in a house with Roomba and Gates, so it's refreshing.

　We walk into the usual large living room, where there are dishes and cups on the table and on the plate are the cookies I gave them.

　While the demons were gone, what a surprise. It seems that Murat had gone out and was doing whatever he wanted, taking advantage of the peace and quiet.

'By the way, is Asmo next door?　I was going to call Asmo too anyway?

He's still at work. He's not here for work.

　I say, looking in the direction of Asmo's house next door, and Thor replies with a shake of his head.

　Apparently, Asmo isn't home.

　If that's the case, why don't you come home after work and then ask him out?

'And by the way, what was that coma Roomba was talking about earlier?'

I just finished my new plaything I made. I was going to play with it today.

Oh, a new plaything!　I'll be glad if the next one isn't as heady as Reversi's!

As Thor would have you believe, next time it won't be with your head.

That's great!

Reversies are fun, but they're very clever!

'Playing games with your partner isn't too bad, but I'd rather play more sensory games, too!

　The three of us who are weak in brain play seem happy to hear that we don't have to use our brains in this new game.

　Well, it's true that panels are sensory play, so it's going to be especially popular with people who don't like brain play.

'Let me see, Al!

Okay. It's not very flashy, though.

　At Thor's urging, I take out a frame with a string wrapped around it from my pocket.

'What's this?'　How are you going to play this?

'I'll show you that now. Can you step away for a moment while I throw this panel?

What do you mean by ... hey, what do you mean by throwing it?

　Maybe it's because I said I was going to throw it suddenly indoors, or maybe it's because I said I was going to throw it suddenly indoors, but Thor gives me a quizzical look.

'It's not a ball, it's not dangerous. You just need to step back a bit.'

　Thor stepped back, miffed as I paid off his hands with a shish, and Roomba and Gates, who didn't care what happened to the house, stepped back honestly.

　As the three of them stared at me, I threw the frame with the string wrapped around it at my chest, ready to throw it at the empty floor of the living room.

　The energy generated by the spinning motion of the cord causes the top to spin at once.

　My throw spun cleanly in the air and landed on the floor of Thor's house with a thud.

　On the floor of Thor's house, the frame I threw starts to spin in a small circle.

''Oh!''　There's something going around!

　The three of them look at the spinning frames and scream in surprise.

　The reaction of the three of them, who don't know what a coma is, is a bit amusing.

'It's safe to get close to this one, right?

Yeah, it's not a problem.

　I nodded with a chuckle at Roomba's words, which I didn't think he was talking about Koma.

　Then Roomba, Gates and Thor approached Koma with interest.

　They are bent over to observe and cheek to cheek on the floor, desperately looking at it.

　It was surreal to see two adults and a child staring frantically at it, even though it was just a spinning top.

Why is this thing spinning?

'I don't know. Could it be the pimp in Al's hand?

...Wow, that's beautiful. It's a lot faster than a carriage wheel.

　Surely the only thing that spins in this world is a wheel?　In a world where science has not yet developed, it may be unusual for a top to rotate so fast.

　When I was deeply moved by this, I saw three people reaching for the spinning top.

　I looked at them and grinned.

'Don't touch that stupid thing!　If you touch it, you'll cut your fingers off!

""Uhhhhhh!"

　My serious shout causes the three people who were trying to poke the panel with their fingers to scream and turn over.

''Uhhhh!''　Oh, my God, Al!　I just touched my finger!　I'm sure my fingers are bleeding........!

　Thor slips underneath me with tears in his eyes.

　Seeing Thor's reaction, I laugh at him and he looks at his fingers with a puzzled expression.

"....Hey, this is nothing!

'Hahahaha!　You don't think so?　It's just a plaything, okay?　There's no way I'd make something that dangerous!

　Seeing me laughing at him, Thor's face turns bright red.

'Tenmei!　You bastard!　You set me up!

I'm just teasing you.　Don't get mad at me?

　When I admonished Thor for grabbing the chest, he let go of my arm as he snarled, "GUNNU".

'We're spinning, and Al's voice is so serious I thought we were in real trouble...'

'....Oh, my heart is still jumping around....

　Out of the corner of my eye, I see Roomba and Gates in a cold sweat while holding their chests.

　..........Sorry about something. I didn't expect to be that scared.
