The reason for Rumba's frame hitting the wall is that he has too much pressure on his shoulders and he is not throwing it down at an angle properly.

　The reason why Gates slips the frame is that he doesn't hold the frame level properly when he holds it up and his ability to pull the string is weak.

　After pointing out those things and correcting them by turning it a few times, Roomba and Gates were able to turn the frame cleanly.

'Go!'　My frame!　Pop that Gates panel!

Huh, I'm afraid that's a groove in the floor. Why don't you just stick it in there and spin around.

　The Roomba's frame went to hit Gates' frame, but perhaps because of a depression in the floor of Thor's house, the Roomba's frame was stuck in it and couldn't move.

　And maybe it was because it was spinning in the wrong place, or maybe it was distorting its rotation and slowing down.

'What the hell is that?　Thor should have been flatter than the floor of the house, too!

　What does the guy who was tearing down people's walled houses have to say about it?

'Well, let's stage it properly so it's easier to bump into each other. That would make it more interesting.

'Oh!　If you're going to have something like that, you'd better make it soon!

Absolutely.

''Well no, I didn't make it because the two of you couldn't even throw it properly.

　This was a suggestion because I had enough control to put them on the stage.

　If it was the two guys from earlier, I probably wouldn't be able to get them on the stage at all.

　As I'm sending my jittery gaze to Roomba and Gates, the window on the wall suddenly opens up.

'Hey, there's some really loud noises coming from it, what are you doing?'

　The person who opened the door of the person's house is Asmo, who lives next door.

　He may have poked it open with a stick from the next house, or he has a long stick in his hand.

　As expected of a neighbor, I'd like to say that he's a neighbor, but as usual, there's no privacy and no sense of humor.

　But it's fun to be able to talk to them casually like this.

Asmo's back. I'm playing with a toy called Koma now.

Sounds like fun.

　I said as I showed him the panel, and Asmo nodded instantly, as if he was bored.

　And as soon as he closed the window of his own house, he came over to this side.

'Huh?　Where's Thor?

　I tell Asmo, who looks around as soon as he comes home, about the tragedy that Thor caused.

　Then Asmo mumbles to himself, "You're an idiot," and seems to have decided not to bother with it.

　It's not uncommon for Thor to cause incidents like this on a daily basis. So I'm not too worried about it either.

　I hand Asmo one of the panels and activate my earth magic on Thor's floor.

　Through the medium of my magic, earth appears in Thor's house.

　I drew a clear image of the stage in my mind and hardened the soil to get closer to it, and in no time at all, a circular stage was completed, with the panels bumping into each other.

　Of course, I made a dent in the stage so that the tops would be properly centered.

"Wow, so they can throw it here and hit each other!



　An admiring Roomba and Gates observe the stage as if to check it out.

'Well then, can I throw a quick one!

'Yeah, fine. Watch Asmo too.

Okay.

　The sooner you show them how to play, the better.

　Asmo, who had been observing the coma, honestly started to look at Roomba and Gates.

　Roomba and Gates stared at each other face to face across the stage.

''Hehe, let's go then, shall we?

"Don't screw up your throw and hit me or anything.　The coma is so hard it looks like it would hurt like a joke to be hit.

　Gates says as he looks at the glancing caved-in wall.

　Well, even though I've got it under control, I was still bobbing against the wall just now. I can understand why you're worried.

''Don't worry about it. I'm used to it!

Are you sure you want to do this?

　As Gates is skeptical, Roomba and Gates set up their frames for each other and throw them onto the stage.

　The frames break away from each other's strings and spin neatly in the air and onto the stage.

'Hee!'

　Rumba's accuracy was still subtly questionable, but he had hit quite the edge of the stage.

　Gates let out a pathetic scream for a moment, as if he thought it was going to hit his foot.

　Then he exhaled as if relieved when he realized that the rumba frame hadn't left the stage.

　Gates' thrown frame spins cleanly in the center, and the frame released by Roomba's wild throwing spins vigorously around the outer edge.

　This might give Roomba a slight advantage as he accelerated around the outer edge.

　A gentle slope is created towards the center, so the Roomba's coma gradually makes its way towards the center.

　Then it collides with the Gates coma, which is spinning nicely in the center.

　The Gates' frame wobbled wildly as it couldn't hold on to the momentum of the Roomba's frame as it was struck by it.

'Oh!'　That's a good shot in the arm!　Gates's panel is wobbling!

'Nuh-uh!　Endure it!

　Roomba screams with joy, and Gates watches the panel with a desperate look on his face.

　However, Roomba's coma didn't care about such a Gates, and hit him with a series of gusts - and the first blow had a big effect, and the moment Gates' coma's rotation was weakened, it was flung outward.

''Ah!''

'Gahahahahaha!　I guess I win!

Again!　Next time I'll get some momentum from the outside too!

　Gates says to Roomba, who is proud of his victory.

　At any rate, I'm glad to see that Roomba and Gates are enjoying themselves.

　Now they are totally hooked and both are busily winding up their strings.

We just throw them around like this and smash them together.

Sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.

　Asmo smiled and nodded at me, and I taught him how to wrap and throw the cord the same way Thor and his friends did.

　Then Asmo learned it all in one go.

　As Thor and his friends were not so good, I was a bit impressed.

'Asmo is really good with his fingers for his body type,'

Well that's superfluous for your shape.

'Oh, if we can spin Asmo too, let's all hit it!

　When Asmo finishes the whole exercise, Rumba turns around and calls out to him.

'It's going to be moderately heated and interesting when we bump the four panels against each other.

'Oh, nice!　Let's get on with it!

　Rumba beckons me and Asmo over to the side of the stage.

　One-on-one panels are nice, but a brawl of four panels colliding with each other is also interesting.

　You never know what's going to happen when you throw a frame and it's suddenly going to hit you and send you flying off the stage.

　As we were all excitedly wrapping the string around the frame, the front door suddenly opened.

'd*mn it!　They're reluctant to take a few grains of rice off the table because they're looking at our feet!

　Thor comes into the living room, teasing me with his shoulder.

　He has what looks like grains of rice in his hand, so he was able to get some rice to share.

　He broke his favorite cup, sister Emma's favorite cup.

　If it had turned out that they needed rice to repair the cup, the villagers would have asked for the rice to be divided up underneath Thor's feet.

　That's just the people of Koliat. Everyone has a good character.

Thor, come on. "Come on, Thor, let's go. We're all going to hit each other's frames now.

What's that?　Looks like fun!　I'll soon be restoring the cup with rice and you can mix me up too!

　When I call out to him as I say this, Thor's angry expression is replaced by a smile.

　Then Thor starts chipping away at the rice grains on his fingertips to the broken handle of the cup.......

　.........that's a long time. How many more minutes will that take?

　The other three are looking at Thor with a niggling expression, as if they are thinking what I'm thinking, too.

'Come to think of it, Thor still hasn't been able to throw a panel properly.

Which means that Thor can't participate in the panel bumping yet.

　Asmo piles on the words following my little murmur.

　Both Lumumba and Gates are nodding their heads with expressions of agreement.

　I took a deep breath, confirming everyone's intentions with eye contact, and

All right!　All at once--done!

'Wait!　I'm not in the mix yet!



　You're not going to be able to do that.


I'm home.

Mom, I think I've got another visitor.

'What? These shoes are Master Alfried and Asmo and... who is it?

　I played around with my coma for a while. When the sky, which had been bright, began to dim.

　The front door of Thor's house opened and someone came back.



　And Thor, who sensitively heard that voice, stiffens his body.

　.........Come to think of it, there's a possibility that our complaining to my sister is going around and my sister knows about it.

　The thought of it made me feel heavy.

　I heard tossing and turning and footsteps, and Murat and sister Emma came into the living room.

　The two of them are walking side by side, they really look alike.

　I want to ask the little Yankee-like boy beside me for an hour or so if it's really the same family.

'I'm sorry to bother you. Mr. Murat, Emma.

'Oh, hello, Master Alfried. I didn't know you were coming to our house. An unusual combination this time.

Hello, Mr. Alfried.

　Murat and sister Emma answer me with a soft smile.

　Oh, I knew it was nice.

　If my sister were as receptive and kind as Emma, I wouldn't be complaining about her.

I'm Roomba. I'm intruding!

'I'm Gates. I've been here during the day.

"Roomba and Gates!　Thank you for always hunting those demons outside the village.

　Murat was surprised to see Roomba and Gates in the house, but they seemed to know what they were doing on a daily basis and started talking to each other in a natural way.

　You will need to be able to get a good idea of what is going on in your life.

'Thor, can you come over here for a moment?'

"...what the hell?　Make a creepy sound. I'm just getting there, okay?

　I guess everything I remember is only bad,

　Thor replies, stiffening his body and voice.

　In response, sister Emma smiles, but she's scared.

''Well it won't take long.''

Wow, wow!

　Thor was leaving the living room with his arms crossed behind his head, his face pale at the mysterious pressure of Sister Emma.

　Sister Emma-sama put her hand gently on Thor's shoulder, and for a moment I saw it as the scythe of the Grim Reaper.

　Ah, maybe that guy is no good today after all........

　As I was looking away thinking, sister Emma came back and showed her face.

'Ah, Alfreet-sama. Elinora-sama was calling for you, so it would be better for you to go home early, right?

Well, I think I'll go home around here today...

　Yeah, I guess I'm screwed, too.

　The words that come out of my own mouth are going out with the butt end of my mouth.

　I don't want to go home today.

"I guess it's time for dinner!　We could go home too!

Yeah. My wife is making dinner and waiting for me.

　Just like that, me, Roomba and Gates decided to head home from Thor's house.



　The way home after we left Roomba and Gates.

　It's getting dark, so on a day like this I usually take the transition back to the vicinity of the mansion, but today I was walking in a toboggan as I was depressed about going back to the mansion.

　However, such resistance is useless. If you follow the road from the village of Koliat, you can easily get to my house.

　As I looked up at the gate of the mansion, I looked up at the madder sky in a daze.

　It's not too late. Shall I escape to my room in the transfer?

　No, I'd still be captured immediately by Elinora sister, who has extraordinary sensing abilities. There's no way to escape.

　As I give up and try to open the gate, the gate in front of me opens on its own.

　Did Bartolo and Saara, who were working in the courtyard, open the gate for me?

　Thinking that, I looked up to see my sister, Elinora, coming out of the gate in front of me with her reddish-brown hair tied up at the back of her head.

　When she looked at me, Elinora smiled at me and said

Al, welcome back.

I'm home.

　Oh, maybe my complaining to sister Elinora didn't go around?

　There was a girl's party, and of course it was supposed to go around.

　Anyway, Elinora sister has a smile on her face. From the looks of it, nothing in particular seemed to have happened.

　I'm sure she was swinging her sword in the courtyard and she opened it because I came back. That's very thoughtful of you, Elinora, for a sister.

Did you think I was being caring?

　The moment I heard the sarcasm spewed out with Elinora's smile, I immediately started running.

　But I didn't dare and Elinora's slender arms grabbed me by the neck.

　No!　Trapped by the Reaper's sickle!

"Be careful what you say to these women, okay?　They're spreading it around so fast, you know?'

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

　The words Roomba and Gates come and go in my brain.

'Hi, hi!　Help!

What's the matter with you, you scared the shit out of me?　If you want to b*tc* about it, I'll go out with you, okay?　Well, I'm not as nice, sloppy, or caring as Al said I was, right?
