Side Story (16)
Side Story (16)
After we had a rough lunch at a restaurant.
I spent time walking around the amusement park again.
And, whenever I saw a classmate, I remembered what Saten had said, so I naturally averted my gaze.
‘Never pay attention to other people… ‘
I don’t really care about it anyway, but hearing that makes me more conscious.
When you start to become conscious of the things you take for granted, you get nervous.
For example, ‘You start to be conscious of your breathing. Are you breathing through your nose? When asked a question such as ‘Are you breathing through your mouth?’.
Sometimes things I do naturally feel stuffy for no reason.
“Once you start being conscious, there is no end.”
Hare answered my self-talk.
“What are you conscious of… ?”
“Just hearing what Saten said earlier, she starts to notice something she normally doesn’t do, so it’s frustrating.”
“Well, in that case, there is an effective solution… !”
Hare stopped walking for a moment.
She stopped me and took my hands.
It was as if he was conscious of something.
“I-I saw an article on the Internet… Modern people say that if you tell them to do something, they will do the opposite… It’s called a reaction… ? Anyway, that’s a lot… “
“So?”
“Saten told me not to pay attention to other people… ? Then, this time, I will remove Saten’s curse… !”
Whoop-
Hare took a deep breath and let out her voice with a stern expression.
“Never! Give attention to others… !”
“Huh?”
“No matter what! Look at those people passing by! Put her face on your head! Please pay attention! Never… !”
Listen to Hare’s words.
An unintended question popped into my head.
‘Why me?’
Why do I have to look at people passing by and engrave their faces into my head?
You don’t have to do that, it’s a stranger anyway, and I’ll see you today.
After hearing Hare’s words and thinking about it for a bit, I immediately became oblivious to people.
“This is the backlash… ?”
The effect was amazing.
At that appearance, Hare raised her voice and said that she was happy to be of help.
“Ah, I’m glad I helped you… ! How is it… ! It worked… !”
“Yeah, when you told me to do it, I didn’t want to do it. If my mom tells me to study, I think she knows why she didn’t want to.”
Is it because he has good insight?
Hare penetrated the psychology of modern people and lifted my curse.
As if she wasn’t over yet.
She held her hand again and said to me.
“Well then, this time! Don’t love me! Never! You don’t love me!”
Oh.
I see.
I replied with a nod.
“Okay.”
“… Yes?”
“I told you never to love you. I will do that from today.”
“… Why are you listening to me this time?”
Sure.
Anyway, it seemed that conditions were necessary for the use of anti-reaction psychology.
Perhaps I followed Hare’s words this time because the conditions were not enough.
To be honest, I did have a little bit of a desire to make fun of it.
Hare started to use other methods when such resistance did not work.
“… If so, love me.”
“I hate it.”
“… Oh, why?”
“I wanted to protest this time.”
Kwaak-
Hare gave strength to my joined hands.
“Love me.”
“Now, wait a minute. It hurts hareya Are you going to take responsibility if my hand breaks?”
“Ah, I can take responsibility even if you are just breathing. So tell me you will love me soon.”
“Mi, crazy… “
This isn’t a reaction, it’s just a one-sided threat, isn’t it?
Hare closed her dead eyes and tightened her grip.
Isn’t this how the bones get crushed?
I looked at her expression to stop Hare.
Is it because I was teased too much?
It seemed like nothing could be seen in Hare’s eyes.
‘I should have teased you in moderation… ‘
Is this karma?
“Me, tell me you love me… “
“… “
“Answer.”
“Save me… “
That’s how I had to be held down by Hare’s grip until Luna came to save me.
It was a hell of a time.
***
“… I’m sorry, uncle. I guess I was out of my mind for a while. Here’s the ice cream.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Hare and I were sitting on a bench eating ice cream.
Hare looked restless as if she knew her mistake.
While I was taking a break like that, a high-speed roller coaster passed over me.
“Uh, ahhhhh-!! Mister-!!”
“Fun! Lol!”
“… “
Saten keeps his silence.
And Luna and Estiya screaming happily.
Hare and I watched them from a bench for a short break.
“Still, I am having fun. Excited and screaming.”
“Isn’t Luna screaming…?” ?”
“… It seems like that.”
But I didn’t force it.
Luna sat herself in her roller coaster chair and lowered her safety bar.
‘A hero never surrenders! There’s no way I’m afraid of something like this!’
Well, it was a simple reason that pride was at stake.
Still, even though I’m not good at rides, I thought the spirit of taking on challenges was great.
“Luna is simple yet amazing.”
“Ah, is that a compliment from Luna all of a sudden… To be honest, I think so too… “
“That is a bit surprising.”
“Yes, why… ?”
“It seemed like no one else would ever admit it.”
Everyone is my enemy.
Hare always seemed to exude that feeling.
However, contrary to my expectations, Hare was acknowledging Luna.
“Well, if I don’t acknowledge Luna, then she doesn’t deserve to be your uncle’s bride… I’m here because Luna was there… “
“Was Luna like that?”
“You may not believe what she sees now, but… If you see Luna fighting, she will look different… “
Hare told me a story from the previous world.
Luna tells the story of how she saved people and defeated demons, dodging all of her opponent’s attacks.
However, she says her personality wasn’t as bright back then as she is now.
“Mr. No, after that incident. Luna was having a hard time. Even when her mind collapsed, she wasn’t strange. But, strangely, her spirit of Luna did not collapse.”
“The spirit of a warrior. What is it?”
“I don’t know exactly, but it will be similar… But, unlike her Luna, I think it’s only right that when she breaks down, she should break down.”
If she breaks down easily, she just needs to fix it again.
However, if she endures and endures and collapses, she collapses without being able to fix it again.
Saying that, Hare looked at the party of warriors walking out of the exit.
“Because Saten was destroyed once, and Estiya is always in a state of collapse.”
“Saten collapsed?”
“Yes, although she looks solid on the outside…” He has a glass mentality inside.”
Nod-
I agree with what Hare said.
After I lost all my coins and was banned from trading coins.
Saten went out of her mind, stopped eating and drinking, and locked herself in her room.
Her ki seems to be the strongest, but Saten’s subtle mentality is weak.
‘What is Estiya… ‘
In the first place, her personality itself is round, and she is somewhat correct in saying that she has collapsed.
But even if Estiya had walked her normal path, I didn’t think she would be much different from now.
Estiya is just that.
“Ha ha ha!! Oppa, me and that one more time! I have the most fun with that!”
She only shows interest in things she finds interesting.
“Yes, okay.”
I was led by Estiya’s hand and left to stand in line.
Is it because I was always idle at home?
Estiya wandered around all the places in the amusement park as if he had used up all of his accumulated stamina.
‘It’s nice that the kids are having fun… I’m going to die of hardship.’
In the end, I had to stay at the amusement park until Estiya was fully satisfied.
It was already dark in the evening, and the students had long since left.
***
On the train going home.
Estiya fell asleep leaning on my shoulder.
“Ahh… OMG… Hmm… “
“I fell asleep properly.”
“Hmm… I mean.”
Saten, who was sitting in front of me, yawned.
She also seemed sleepy like Estiya, but she was desperately trying to stay asleep as if she couldn’t sleep outside.
“You can sleep. I’ll wake you up.”
“No, I can’t. This is a world scarier than you think. You can fall asleep and reach the end point. So, I have to stay awake.”
“Yes, do whatever you want, Saten.”
Saten Do whatever you want.
Anyway, even if I tell you to go to sleep, you will never fall asleep.
Once Saten is convinced, she will do what she thinks unconditionally.
However.
Today’s schedule seems to have been difficult for Saten, who has low stamina.
“Satenza?”
“… “
Saten left her eyes open and she fell asleep.
She could see at a glance how she was trying not to sleep.
‘Now, the number of people remaining… ‘
Me, Hare, Luna.
Hare said she would never sleep until she got home.
And Luna…
“Wow! Mister! It’s shiny over there! What is that!?”
“It’s just a shiny building made by an office worker who works overtime. A modern day SOS.”
“Oh, oh oh!!”
Because his stamina is steel, he will stay awake unconditionally.
If you look out the window and look around, you won’t even notice the time passing.
‘… I’m bored, so let’s talk to Luna.’
While thinking that, I asked Luna.
Truth and lies mixed half and half.
“Luna, haven’t you gained weight from eating a lot lately?”
“Ah, what are you talking about! Why am I gaining weight! Heroes don’t gain weight!”
“Modern food, even if it looks small, is quite high in calories. So it looks a little steamed in my eyes… “
“That can’t be! Warriors don’t gain weight! Did you go home and check it out!”
Exercise-
Luna could never do that, she yelled at me.
Is that really true?
As soon as we got home, we immediately checked Luna’s scale.
“… What?”
“I am right. I gained weight.”
Kwajik-
Her weight scale was just like that, by Luna’s foot she revealed her truth and lost her life.
“How dare you look at me without a fight against the weight scale! You deserve to die!”
The end of the one who told the truth was miserable.
‘Sacrifice of the weight scale martyrs. I will never forget you.’
