Eternal Log

"Hey Hal, what should I buy you?

It's your promised day with Mayfa.

I've collected information about Golgolas since then, but for now I only know that the Kingdom of Zaire is suspicious.

Even so, I'm just asking around the city, so I thought I might find out more if I asked at Lars headquarters, but I didn't seem too busy getting ready for the witch's birthday ritual.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I used Roy and Will's position, and I tried to get them to work on it, but it felt like saying it was different from politics and religion and I couldn't do it.

That was the day I promised Mayfa.

I've been around this morning buying gifts for Mayfa and the others in pairs.

This is how Roy took the story because he misunderstood me last time.

I'm in a good mood to say that you will understand it.

Will and Sonin seemed to understand the area, and Sonin was even told, "Hal, it's on loan."

Why should they say that...

But I'm kind of glad Shirley and I had the chance to go out.

I haven't been able to talk much lately.

"Hmm, like a stuffed animal or a wooden sword?

"I know a stuffed animal, but does a boy play with a wooden sword or something?

... I honestly don't know.

I've been practicing magic alone since I was a little girl.

I've been training since I met Roy...

But a boy with a wooden sword said 'Let's Play Adventurer' or something when he was walking through the city of Colt City State, and I think he's probably fine...

"All right, let's hear it at the store!

"Hehe, Hal, you're funny"

Shit!

It's been a long time since I've been alone with Shirley, so it's been a weird tension.

"Shit, you can't help it, can you? 'Cause I used to train alone when I was little."

"... sorry"

Shirley got depressed when she did something wrong.

No, that's not what I meant...

"No, no! That's not what I meant... Here, here! I need to know for the kids I'm going to have, and I'm glad I did!

"Heh!? Kids too......!?

Shit!

I panicked and said something I didn't understand!!

What kind of kids are you going to have in the future!?

How far ahead is my thinking!?

You still have the influence of my previous interaction with Roy!?

What's 'good'! Nothing's good!

I work my head in my heart for what I said... somehow... somehow...

"Oh, no, that ~... that's not why... no, that's not why you can't? What? Mm-hmm... for now, I'll always be with Shirley.

Thought we'd spend some time together and want to know a lot!

Ahhh... no.

I don't know what I'm talking about myself.

"Ooh, ooh."

Shirley is leaning bright red in her face.

... No more!

"All right, Shirley! Let's eat something!

That's what I say. I take Shirley's hand.

Ahhh... not today.

When I thought so, Shirley shook my hand back hard twice.

I'll grip it back twice.

And when I turned to Shirley, he smiled at me with a red face.

Look at that face. I smile back, too.

Good, I don't know, but I think I've got it figured out.

But don't really get healed just by looking at this face.

... I'll make sure to protect it.

That's how Shirley and I got back to shopping.
