Ch. 4: To Pick His Voice Out (MOON)
The next morning…-
I went with Flu to the courtyard.
The fresh green leaves were sparkling with morning dew.
OO: "The garden is beautiful…"
Flu: "I'm glad you like it…"
Beside me, Flu let out a sigh of relief.
Flu: "I wanted to thank you, so I thought this was the least I could do…I was a little worried you wouldn't like it."
The smile he gave warmed my heart.
Flu: "Would you like to go to…my special place…"
OO: "Special place?"
Flu: "Yes…actually…"
Younger Brother: "So this is where you were!"
A bright voice called out to us, cutting off what Flu was saying, and Flu's younger brother came over to us.
H-him again…
Younger Brother: "Since you came all the way here, let's go to a party!"
He spoke to us with a sparkling smile.
And then…-
Flu: "…"
Flu hung his head, apparently giving up on getting a word in.
Flu…
OO: "Thank you. But would you mind if I went out with Flu for a little bit first?"
Flu: "OO…?"
I greeted the younger brother, then took hold of Flu's hand.
