Ch. 4: Everyone, Family! (MOON)

 

The next morning…-

 

I was awoken by the chirping of a songbird.

 

I can hear voices from outside…

 

I could hear children laughing, and Randa's laugh joined in.

 

Getting myself up, I went outside.

 

Randa: "OO, you awake."

 

Spotting me, Randa ran over.

 

The light of morning tinged the outline of his strong body.

 

OO: "Randa."

 

Randa: "Tired!"

 

He sprawled out next to me and let out a big sigh.

 

Randa: "Much playing!"

 

OO: "Have you been playing all this time?"

 

Randa: "Yeah! Everyone, much energy!"

 

Child: "Randa~! Play more~!!"

 

The children called out to Randa.

 

Randa: "I take little break!"

 

I sat down next to Randa and watched the children.

 

OO: "Do you like children?"

 

Randa: "Like, of course! Family, everyone family!!"

 

Family…

 

His expression seemed to say it was only natural that that's how things were, and his orange hair was buffeted by the wind.

 

I bet it's fun being part of a family with people like Randa.

 

Thinking as much, I closed my eyes.
