Flying Whale's Wonderful Life - I Who Has Fused With An Invincible Weapon From The Age Of Gods Will Build A City On My Back - Chapter 22

"Grandma, it's been a long time! It's me Nao!"

"Oh, Nao-chan. It's been a long time .... Oh, and there is a rare guest as well."

The beastman sitting in the back of the tent looked at our faces and laughed.

She was a beastman from Ratmen race,a rat-type beastmen.

Unlike Felper, they look closer to a beast than a human.

They look just like a human child wearing a rat costume.

I tried to say h.e.l.lo, but my eyes were nailed to another place.

It's to Sena and the rest, who seemed to be wrestling like a real cat.

"You stupid sisters! Why can't you listen to what your sister says?"

"I'm saying, I don't want to nya!" "Big sister is a blockhead!"

"Whose the blockhead! Come, lets hurry back home~!

Sena's eyes and mine met. Her face turned red really quickly.

"Oh, no Mr Kaito! Why are you here?"

"It's just, that I was worried because you guys were returning late ..."

"Is that so ... I'm sorry, I made you worried .... Oh no, I look horrible ..."

Sena hastily repairs the ragged clothes due to the scuffle.

I was thinking, what was it all about, but I felt relieved seeing Sena and the rest were safe and sound

I asked them what happened after lettin them calm down and it seems like s.h.i.+ro and Kuro grumbled saying they didn't wnat to go back

The reason for this was that they didn't want to be away from the elder of the camp Mora, a beastman from ratman race

I see, Sena and Nao knew this would happen.

They are kids who just recently got to the age that they can understand what was going on around them...

If they met a person they are really close with, its normal for them to grumble saying they don't want to leave the person

Even I think something like this happened when I was young

"You guys should leave now that a person who came to pick you up came"

Even when Mr. Mora urged s.h.i.+ro and Kuro, they just continue to shake their heads.

"I don't want nya!" "I want to stay with grandma nya!"

"... Mmmm, this is troubling."

"Look, the elder is also feeling troubled! Lets go back now!"

Sena grabs s.h.i.+ro and Kuro's neck, but they clang to Ms. Mora and didn't seem to let go. As a result, Grandma Mora screamed.

"Ouch~~! Senchan, for now take your hands off them!"

"Oh! Sorry! ...Are you okay?"

"Well, somehow ... but my back..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Nao was p.i.s.sed of despite the pleasant exchange

"That's enough!"

When you thought she raised her voice, she walked towards s.h.i.+ro and Kuro with long strides, and raised her fist

"You guys are troubling everyone! If you don't go home, you'll be beaten!"

I caught the fist that was swinging down at the end of her sentence.

"Vi, violence is no good!"

"But, Mr. Kaito. These stupid brads are ..."

"I can understand your feeling, but calm down ...Alright?"

"…………Yes"

I was relieved to Nao, who slowed down and calmed her anger.

Then, Mrs. Mora began to laugh with fun.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, I was able to see something so rare. For the disobedient Nao-chan to listen quietly to a human."

"Disobedient?"

"Gra, Grandma! Stop it!"

"What reason is there for you to be ashamed of. Be more pleased that you met someone that you can rest your trust. That's how people continue to grow"

Mora nodded with satisfaction, and then gently stroked s.h.i.+ro and Kuro's head.

"Come on, s.h.i.+ro-chan, Kuro-chan. You guys should grow up too. You should listen to what your sisters has to say."

"But, grandma ..." "I want to stay together ..."

They buried their faces in Ms. Mora's chest and then looked at me with swelling eyes.

"Kaito, please nya!" "Bring Grandma with us too!"

"Eh !?"

I was thrown back by a sudden request.

Sena and Nao seemed to be too stunned as they failed to say any thing to it

But, only Ms. Mora shook her head quietly.

"s.h.i.+ro-chan, Kuro-chan, that's a bad request. You can't force others to do what you can't."

s.h.i.+ro and Kuro thought they had made an unreasonable request, and stayed without reb.u.t.ting.

I'm confused about what to do, and Ms. Mora smiles.

"Mr Kaito, don't worry. I've lived well enough. At this point, I don't want to be someone's baggage.

"Ms Mora, I ..."

"I understood that you were a good person through Sena's story. However, that doesn't mean you have to carry the burden of the stuff that isn't necessary."

Saying so, she looks at Sena.

"Senchan is a truly a cute and caring girl."

Next, she looked at Nao.

"Nao is a strong girl, but she is smart and she can see things deeply."

And, then she looked at s.h.i.+ro and Kuro.

"s.h.i.+ro-chan and Kuro-chan are always energetic and very gentle girls."

Mr. Mora nodded repeated, with a smile as if biting her words down.

"They are all good girls. They all have the right to be happy. So I was really happy to hear that they were happy in Mr Kaito's place."

As I listened to Ms. Mora's words, I heard a sobbing voice.

It belonged to Sena and her sisters.

Maybe, somewhere in everyone's heart there existed a feeling of indebtedness. Things like, is it okay for only us to be happy. I know very well, that they have such a kind personality

It was just as Ms. Mora appraised them to be.

I also love these girls as a great friends.

As if to encourage us who looked sad, she laughed cheerfully

"Come on, don't make such a sad face. It's like I died or something. Is this a funeral home? Don't kill me so convienently."

We smile a little and shook our heads.

"Parting is not a sad thing, especially when its the youths, who are setting off. Plus, its not like we are parting away forever in this life? Come and see me whenever you miss me."

Yes, we are not parting with you forever in this life.

As Ms. Mora says, if they feel lonely, they can just come visit her.

But can Sena continue to be happy and endure the feeling that they're the only ones that are happy? No, probably not.

So, should I take Ms. Mora to Toyok.u.mo? She is not putting on a brave fron, rather she must be saying things true to her heart.

First of all, why is Mora wanting to stay?

I sense a strong will unlike if she was just being reserved

I don't know how much Sena talked about, but at least she know that she could have a much easier life than staying here.

……Oh, I see. It's that?

She also doesn't want to be the only ones to be happy.

Is it a sense of responsibility as an elder or just a show of her good personality?

No, maybe both.

I thought. How do you find the best resolution to wrap it up?

I knew the answer from the very beginning.

What I wanted was absolute confirmation that it was right.

However, no matter what I thought, I couldn't find such a thing.

That's why, in this situation, we must go with the feeling.

"Everyone, I want you guys to hear me out. I want-

Everyone's sight gathered around me as I spoke.

Most likely, this moment is the turning point in my life.

This is a kind of the thing that only G.o.d knows what to come.

"I want to take everyone who lives in this camp to that place."

Right, to the Toyok.u.mo we live in.
