The Way It Should Be
On the edge of town
There was one deserted, unoccupied workshop.
It seems to be well taken care of, and there seems to be no fear of it collapsing.
Behind the workshop
There was a slight rise in the soil
Weeds were growing there
A long, thin stone stuck in the middle.
I put a flower by the stone.
"Oh, you came to see him this early in the morning?"
It was Gotton who called out from behind.
Her face could be said to be that of an old woman, but from the neck down, I can still see an undiminished strength.
"Actually, I did not sleep."
"What? Was it that intense?"
It was intense, or rather long. That's all.
"You said he died three years ago?"
"Yeah, he brought some glassware to the mansion, and then he said, [There's nothing more for me to do!] and the next day he left a letter and died."
"I'm sorry for being heartless."
"It can't be helped. World peace is more important than my father's death. Ah, I should have brought the letter."
Instead, Gotton verbally tells me the contents of the letter.
・Use the workshop as you like, and if it gets in the way, you can tear it down.
・No need for a funeral. Bury it somewhere and stick a rock in it.
・I don't have much money, but I'll leave everything to Gotton's discretion.
・Tell Sylvie not to be too sad.
・Tell Shiro, Wince, and Sedona to send me off with a smile.
"That's just like that old man..."
"That's true... hey Shiro?"
"What?"
There was a hint of sadness in Gotton's expression.
"How long will you guys live?"
"...Forever"
Gotton and Sermus. Quies and Sylvie. We will live much longer than Shisu
"Isn't it painful to be left behind?"
"I got Wince. Even Sedona will be with us for a long time."
"But everyone else is going to die, you know?"
"That's right. It's painful to be separated by death... but there are also encounters with new people."
I've met a lot of people.
I will meet a lot of people from now on
"...I wish you a happy life."
"It's not a problem. I'm going to be happy, and I'm going to knock all that unhappiness out of the sky and blow it away to the stars."
When I said that, Gotton burst out laughing.
"I'm scared because you really seem to be able to do it."
"I only say what I can do... Come to think of it, why is Gotton here?"
"Actually, I come here once every three days. I know my father wrote that stuff in his letter, but I had memories with him."
He would go into tsundere mode if that old man heard that. That's for sure.
"Neither I nor Sermus have any intention of dying yet!"
"Hmm?"
"Even so, I will tell you. When we die, send us off with a smile!"
"...I'll make everyone in town laugh out loud about it."
"Hey!"
I don't know when that will be. But it's going to happen.
"G-Gotton-sama!"
Is it her subordinate from her workshop?
It ended on a good note, so I wanted her to read the atmosphere a little more.
"What's the rush?"
"B-bandits! They've infiltrated the city!"
"What happened!"
"Hii! We caught a few people, but about 10 people escaped, and the guard at the gate was seriously injured. And..."
"What is it? Tell me, quick!"
"Two children who were playing near the workshop have been kidnapped and taken hostage!"
I ran towards the gate
"Shiro!"
"I'll take care outside of the gate! Find out if there's anyone left inside!"
"Leave it to me!"
It will be the first battle in a long time.
Let's try something.
