- Hey! Niji. I've been back for more than a week, why haven't Reiju been found?

While walking, I saw Niji walking nearby, so it was convenient to ask.

I've been back here for a week but no sign of the Reiju. Normally she would be the one who wanted to meet me the most.

They didn't do the quest very quickly, with their strength it would take only two days at most. Where did you go, Reiju?

- Reiju went out to shop. The mission should have been completed a few days ago but when she received the news of her return, she dragged Yonji out. Will probably come back today.

Just as he finished speaking, a sweet sound resounded

- Tan Tan!

The sound came from the sky. I looked up, the first thing that hit my face was Reiju's "soul".

Yes. Right.

Smash me in the face

- Tan Tan! Where did you go? Why did you just come back now? I missed you so much!

- Umm.........Umm..suffocate...Re..ju...eiju (self-understanding)

- Ah! I'm sorry!

- Phew!!!

As she said that, she released me.

As soon as she released me, she lifted me up and rubbed her cheek against my face. Smiling and rubbing at the same time, it's like a pervert. She's even more clingy than before. Too much trouble!

I scream

- Reiju! You stop!

Suddenly she stopped and let me down.

Oh no, she just changed from hugging to holding my armpits. She stared at me without speaking, making me nervous to death.

- Tan Tan!

-?!

- You haven't changed at all, you are still so petite and cute, so cute!

Now she's even more excited than before. Stop it. Who save me! Help me!

As I thought, every time she calls me cute, she will definitely turn me into a doll to play with. Like in the past, I was forced to change dozens of clothes, take pictures, drink tea and tell stories until evening. And now it's even worse.

AAA!!!!!!!!!!

-Stop it! stop! I said STOP! Stop!!!!!!

Terrible indeed. Why add massage services, manicure? Both painful and ticklish. Hell indeed.

After the torture was over, it was time to put on makeup. After that, drink tea.

By the way, I like this part the most. Like in the old days. Two girls sit and chat at a small tea table.

But this time it's a little different. Why do we drink 2 different pots of tea?.

I wondered and asked Reiju:

- What are you drinking?

- Poison of hydrangea flowers.

I stood up startled

- You're crazy! Don't drink poison like tea.

- My body is immune to poison so it's fine.

- I know ! But...

Reiju looked at me and smiled softly. The same smile as Mrs. Sora that year. The smile that made my mother cry.

I got it. Understand your mother's feelings at that time. Understand why mom is crying.

She is trying to destroy herself. She drinks poison herself every day as if to feel she is alive.

Is she that afraid of death? Or is she ready for it.

I don't want to think anymore. So sad.

- Huh! Up to you.

I sat back down at the table and put my hand on my chin.

- Where have you been for the past 3 years? - Reiju suddenly asked me.

I answer.

- Follow the islands from the North Sea to the East Sea.

- How was your adventure? Fun, right?

- Huh! Also normal.

- Really? Who have you met?

- Much! Have you met the giant yet? I met them already!

- So what? Then what else!

- I went to the island and everything there was so big, I met...

- Really?

- Yes! I still meet...

-------

Their conversation lasted until the evening, Tan Tan told stories passionately. She tells all kinds of stories. From one thing to another. Reiju just listened to her story and laughed.

Their tea party ended only when the servant announced it was time for dinner. The conversation was enough to satisfy the two of them.

Tan Tan stepped out of the greenhouse. They greeted each other and then arranged to meet at dinner.

-------

As I was walking down the hallway, I was about to turn into the dining room when I bumped into something.

That's Yonji.
