Holding hands to avoid getting separated from Amana-chan, I looked for Amanashi, who was probably in the crowd.
　I went to the restroom first and asked Amana to check inside, but I couldn't find her.

　Since then, I've been looking for her all over the facility, but I haven't been able to find her at all.

I wonder where she's gone, Mom.
Don't worry. We'll find out soon enough.

　The anxious murmurings that Amana spilled are the best I can do to encourage her to do so, even if there is no basis for it.
　I wish I could say something more effective at a time like this, but it would be useless to ask for something that isn't there right now.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to tell that he or she has a child at first sight with a face as young as Amari's, so it's not surprising that he or she would be entangled in a pickup like Kuroon.
　Hopefully she can find it before she gets strangely entangled and gets into trouble, but it's the middle of the season and there are too many people in the middle of the season anyway.

　She wouldn't leave her daughter alone, but if she couldn't find her, Amana might end up with heat stroke.
　I walked by the playground equipment rental shop, thinking that I might consider returning this girl alone to Kurone and the others....

'Hey, it's good~ You're bored, right?
'I thought you said you were coming with your children?'
I don't want to see that obvious lie. Don't be ashamed of it.
I don't feel a shred of shame about it.

　I heard a familiar voice with a hint of irritation.

　
　The content of the conversation I heard made me want to hold my head in my hands, but I turned my attention to it.

　There was Amari, who had an expression that clearly showed she was in a bad mood, and the stranger with a positive mindset who took it as a sign of embarrassment.
　Don't look at him sarcastically, wondering what a brave man he is, including his inability to read the air, to call out to Tenashi, who is probably a high priestess to look at.

　The fact that her own mother was with a man she didn't know, Amana didn't even make a sound as she hid herself against me.
　She's similarly light as Miya, but that was apparently a correction for being my colleague.
　I'm sure it's also because I saw the look on Amari's face and realized that she's not someone I can easily let my heart go to.

　Anyway, I can't just stay on the sidelines and watch.
　As I looked at Amana and her eyes, she shook my hand anxiously.

　I want to admire her for her uncharacteristic bravery, just as she once got angry with the kid master in the park.

'Amari, there you are in this place.
"──Hayakawa-san........

　When I deliberately called out loud enough for the pickup man to hear me, Amari came to me with her eyes round with astonishment.
　I miss the slightest bit of doubt as to whether I'm that surprised, but I quickly flush it away.

''What?　What are you interrupting me for, old man?

　Who's an old man, I'm only 25 years old!
　The words of the guy who came to pick up the gun inwardly poisoned me, but I kept my composure on the surface.
　It's the emotional side that loses in this kind of situation.

"Don't bother me, I just brought this girl to her mother.
Momma!
Tenna.....
What?

　Seeing Amana-chan embraced to Amanashi, the pick-up guy started to be surprised as if he had lost his nerve.
　The declaration of having a child, which I thought was a tough sell, was true.
　And he looked at me for a moment, probably mistaking me for the father.

　If I had such a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter, I wouldn't have been scared that he'd ever call the cops on me.

'So?　What can I do for my friend?
...it's nothing........heh, excuse me....

　However, since we are here, we took advantage of the misunderstanding and questioned him, and the pick-up guy easily withdrew as if his earlier brazenness was a lie.
　You should have directed your brazenness in a different direction, and faced the stunned Amanashi.

''Yo. You're a quintessential motormouth.''
'It's just annoying to have strangers wooing you...'

　His tone was harsh, but his spines were dull, as if he wasn't in his element yet.
　Honestly, if Tenashi continues like this, I'll be out of shape too.
　Hmm, let's take the plunge here.

''Hey, did I do something?''
I'm sorry?
''I've often been told by Kurone and Mao that women's minds are not always so easy to understand, and I apologize if I've said or done something that would have upset Tenashi without my knowledge. So, you know, could you please change your mood?
It's...

　Because he had never been in love with anything romantic, he could be displeased with something.
　I asked her if that was the case this time as well, but Amari just lowered her eyes in annoyance and seemed to be lost for words even if she wanted to talk beyond that.

　Even though Amana looked at Amana anxiously at Amari, she remained silent, perhaps because she sensed that she couldn't interfere and interfere with her own side.　

''──I don't know.''

　Eventually, Amari cut in with a bewilderment in her lapis lazuli eyes.

'As well as the reason why I was irritated with Hayakawa-san, I don't understand why I competed with Sakai-san like that, I just don't understand the meaning of my actions myself.
....
No, I'm sorry...
'It's not something for Hayakawa-san to apologize for.......it's just me getting annoyed and bothered on my own. I've never felt like this before, and there are so many things I don't know what to do...

　How can I answer the hesitation Amari is having?
　Most of the time people don't understand themselves as well as they think they do.

　I'm no exception.
　To be honest, I thought that Amanashi was one who was able to analyze himself.
　It's not surprising that she's talking about her confusion like this, or maybe it's just too much trouble.

''─After I talked about it, it became a little easier. This is the pool, but if it's like this, I'm going to regret enjoying it more. Let's go back.
'Oh, ah...'

　Eventually, while she was trying to figure out how to answer, Amari cut the conversation short.
　With an unexplained feeling like a small bone had been caught in her throat, she went back to Kuroon and the others and tried hard to enjoy the pool.

　He looked at Amari, who smiled as if her earlier pretense of distress was a lie, and patted his chest, but he still couldn't get that anxious expression out of his head.
