After finishing lunch, Atashi and his friends decided to take a bathroom break before turning to the next restaurant.
　I noticed that there was a huge line in the men's restroom where men's buddies were lined up, but I quickly lost interest in the women's restroom as long as it wasn't like that.

There are a lot of people in front of the restroom too!
Yeah. Let's stick together so we don't get separated.
Yeah!

　While agreeing with Amana's frank impressions, I turn my gaze to the little girl standing next to her for that.

　Amana-chan that's her name.
　She has light brown hair that is almost amber in color, round and beautiful lapis lazuli eyes, and a beautiful young girl with a promising future for a mere six years old - no, a beautiful young girl.

　It's a miracle that he met her at work.
　And not only that, he also said that he has a delivery service two days a week to help him recover from his daily fatigue.

　When I first heard about this, I thought it was a terrible idea, but from what I've heard, Amana-chan herself is willing to do it, and more importantly, she's got her mother's permission to do it.
　It's hard to believe, but she's not a bad kid, in fact she's too good to be bothered.
　He's too clever for a first grader... but we were able to see his childlike cooing, just like when we played "Iron Man of the Drum".

　I realized that he simply doesn't know how to be selfish.
　It's nothing short of astonishing that he's the one who brings out those wrongs.

　Seeing Amana pampering him reminded me of the time when I used to pamper him like that.
　I can't do childish things like that now, but I hope she learns to be more lenient like I was in the past.

　

　That's how much Amana-chan's presence was too much.
　It's kind of hard to leave her alone....

　While I was thinking about this, we went out of the restroom and were heading to the bookstore, where we decided to meet, when we were suddenly blocked by a roadblock, so I stopped and looked up to see what it was about.

'Hey you're cute!'
Come have tea with us when you're free.
Huh?

　But the other person was a very flirtatious man at the first meeting.
　It's like he was approached as a target for pickup, and it's a pain in the ass, and I feel like it's someone else's problem.
　This is especially bad for such a move.

　It's not a good idea to try to hide the lewdness of your gaze, and even though Amana is with you, you're treating her as if she isn't there.
　I'm not saying you shouldn't look at her because she's dressed very revealingly, but that doesn't mean you can't look at her breasts or legs or anything else nasty.

　I'm used to hiding that kind of disgust, so I reply with a troubled, affectionate smile for now.

I'm sorry. I'm with my sister and I'm with Karepi today~

　He doesn't really have either of them, but it's too much trouble to explain his relationship with Amana-chan and he lies about being her sister.
　Then, as a lying boyfriend, he shows her a picture of Miya-san, who is close to Aniki at work and in private.
　It's a picture I took two years ago when I stayed in Aniki's room, just to commemorate our meeting by chance.
　I've been asked out on a few dates, but I've politely refused to go out with him a few times.

　Anyway, the flirtatious men obviously got scared off in front of Sanya-san, who at first glance looks like a man with a flair, and left.
　If you're going to back down just like this, it's almost as if you're a man and you know your degree.

　I breathed a sigh of relief as I dismissed the pickup.
　Aside from the fact that I'm used to it, I look at Amana-chan to see if I gave her a scary thought.

"........Huh?

　However, I didn't see Amana, who should have been next to me.
　I quickly looked around, but it was hard to find that short girl in the crowd because she was so young and it was hard to find her in the crowd.

　I tried to call out to her while heading to the meeting place, but the hustle and bustle drowned it out and it was useless.
　Soon after, I arrived at the bookstore, but Amana was nowhere to be found.

　─ I got completely separated from her........

　====.

"I'm sorry, Anita. If I hadn't gotten tangled up in a pick-up or something... if I had just held hands with Amana properly, this wouldn't have happened...

　With her usual cockyness lurking, Kuroone-she was pale and piled on regret.
　It's true that I wish Kurone had held her hand, but it was the pick-up guys who got involved in the first place.
　It's impossible to say that you can't talk to this guy because of his appearance, and there's no way to blame him for what passed.

"Yup, what if I get kidnapped or something.......if I scare Amana-chan because of me.......
Calm down, Black.
This is no time to settle down!

　In response to the words that told her to be calm, Kuroon retorts with a tense look.

''It's because of me that I'm making that girl lonely, so we have to find her quickly...!
So, in order for this to work, you have to calm down.
'Aren't you worried about Amana-chan!　How can you be so fluent in the fact that her mother will hate you if you're not good enough!

　She must have a strong sense of regret.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　I've decided that just warning her with words won't get us anywhere, so I hold my hands up and decide to clap my hands together with all my might by Kuroone-s ear.

''──?

　There was a dry sound, as if a balloon had burst, and the sound startled the black sound, and the black sound rolled its eyes and turned its head towards me.
　After making sure that the impatience is gone from his expression, I open my mouth.　

''Of course I'm worried about you. But that's why you have to keep your cool in a situation like this.''
....
Don't tell me not to regret it, but don't do that until after you find Amana and apologize. If you try to look for her in a hurry, you'll miss her by accident.
"Oh, I'm not... no, I get it...

　I was about to argue that I wouldn't make such a blunder, but he immediately remembered what happened earlier when he wasn't cool with it and backed off easily.
　It's unusually salty, but under the circumstances, it's not unreasonable.

　I put my palm on my sister's head and lightly stroked it to encourage her.
　Then, to reassure her, she smiled and spoke the rest of the story.　

''It hasn't been that long since we got separated, so let's split up and look for them.
Yes.

　After telling that to Kurone, who has finally regained her composure, we split up and went to look for Amana-chan in two groups.　

　Stay safe........!
