Are you sure about this?
...... It doesn't make any sense.

　When I asked him back, Nihonium replied with a buzz.

　It doesn't make sense....... Hmmm.
　You may be right.

　I'm not so troubled by the fact that the ability is all F.
　Rather, I'm getting a sense of that ability, and I'm enjoying this situation in what Sakura calls a "bind-play" way.

　And when I say I'm not troubled, that's exactly what I mean.

　With the ability back in place, and in the form of a statement, Nihonium returned to his usual seat.

　Then, with a bushy expression on his face, he sat down on the sofa.

　The scene in the salon went quiet.

　The people who had been enjoying themselves until then were now paying attention to us because of Nikhonium's actions.
　This accelerated the weight of the air.

　We had to do something about it, I thought, and spoke to Nihonium.

'I wasn't entirely untroubled,' he said. It's not that I wasn't totally free, but I was making less money, and I was in a lot of trouble for not having any special ammunition, especially around fire and recovery bullets.
......
'So you don't have to think it's meaningless or anything.

　I choose my words and try to convince Nihonium of this.

　I want to get rid of the weight of this air, of course, but that's not the only thing I want to do.

　The more I learn about the spirits in this world, like going to her every day instead of inviting Plumbum to the mansion, for example, the more I want to let the spirits involved do what they want to do and fulfill their requests.

　The same is true of Nihonium.

　The fact that I could see that it wasn't being fulfilled at this moment made me feel more strongly about doing something about it.

　That's why I talk to her.

'......'

　It's like Nihonium is looking in the direction of the day after tomorrow and not listening.

　This is troubling, very troubling.

''Hey, hey, what kind of a man was the old man, that genie called Plumbum?''

　All of us watched the exchange between me and Nihonium with bated breath.
　Sakura interrupted the conversation, as if she didn't read the air at all.

'What, bushes to sticks,'
'I heard once that you have an old man in Prumbum, right?
I don't know if that's the right way to talk about the old man .......
You're an old guy. You know, like Princess Otome who was run off by Urashima Taro.

　Sakura's metaphor had everyone but me puzzled.
　It's no surprise that Urashima Taro's story doesn't ring a bell since it's not from this world to begin with.

　That's what I know about it.

'Maybe that's not the way to put it together.

　I had to give him a bitter look.

'But you're right, right?'
Hmmm, if you ask me, that may be true: ......

　Still, I could only think that it was somehow different.

'I mean, why are we talking about Plumbum at this time?
Well, now that you mention it, you look different.
Have you changed?
From what I've heard, you don't have to be an uncle to go to Prumbum every day.
...... Hmm.
But you know what they say, you have to be an uncle now.
...... Well, yeah.

　I thought Sakura was right about that.
　Since she started interacting with me, she's even made up something called "ryo-sama".

　It seems that she's looking forward to seeing me now.

What's the matter with that?
'No, I'm just saying that what a genie wants to do is change little by little. Even Vanadium has changed.
Yeah.

　That's true.

'So that means Nihonium is different, right?　You should have annoyed everyone, and now you only want to annoy your uncle.
Yeah, well?　And?
Don't you get it yet?

　Sakura blew out a small puff.

''Wanting to annoy only a specific person is something that elementary school kids--young children often do with the person they like.
'What?　No, no, no, that's--

Oh,
I see.
I hadn't thought of that idea, but I suppose it could be.
Carrots...... embarrassing?

　I tried to deny it, and my friends all agreed with me.

　There was one crazy one, though.

　And, most importantly.

-Oh!

　Nihonium's face turned red, as if he had been hit by a figure.

　Huh?　Seriously?
