The next day, when the weather was clear…-.

​

I sat in my room and thought back to what Ritz had said the day before.

​

Ritz: “...Grandma seems fine, but I can tell her physical health is getting worse. Everyone’s saying that’s why doctors have been coming to the castle. That’s why this year I want to do something for her birthday that’ll make her happy but…”

​

Something that'll make her happy…

​

I thought and thought, leaving nothing out, but I couldn't come up with anything good.

 

I decided to take a break and went out to the courtyard…-.

 

…

 

……

 

Huh…?

 

Ritz: "Hmmm."

 

Ritz stood alone in the courtyard, his arms folded over his chest and a troubled expression on his face.

 

Ritz?

 

I…

And then…

 

Ritz: "Aaaaah, it's no good! I can't think of anything!!"

 

He cried out and scratched his head.

 

Ritz: "Huh?"

 

Then he turned his large eyes to me for the first time.

 

Ritz: "Hey! What's up?"

 

OO: "Ah…I was just thinking and…"

 

Ritz: "Heh~ Somethin' buggin' ya? I'll totally help you out!!"

 

OO: "It's not that but…"

 

Ritz: "So what is it? Tell me! I wanna know you better."

 

…!

 

His smile was innocent as he moved closer, and in embarrassment I averted my gaze.

 

Ritz: "Hey, what is it?"

 

OO: "U-uh…it was what you said yesterday, about your grandmother's birthday…"

 

Ritz: "!"

 

Ritz's eyes stretched wide.

 

Ritz: "You were thinking about that?"

 

OO: "Uh…yes."

 

Ritz: "…"

 

Ritz stared at me, saying nothing.

 

Ritz?

 

OO: "Am…I meddling?"

 

Guessing at what he was thinking, I asked nervously and…

 

Ritz: "Nope!"

 

In an instant, Ritz's face broke into a smile, like a flower blooming.

 

Ritz: "I'm super glad!!"

 

Ah…

 

I felt a warmth spread out from my heart seeing his full-faced smile.

 

Ritz: "I'm in trouble! I can't come up with a good idea by myself. And I don't really have anyone I can talk about it with."

 

OO: "Even though you have so many friends?"

 

Ritz let out a small sigh as I said that.

 

Ritz: "I told ya yesterday right? I just get flighty reactions from everyone. I wondered what was on your mind, lookin' all worried like that, but to think it was about my grandma!"

​

Ritz turned and looked straight at me…

 

Ritz: "You were seriously thinking about it. Thanks."

 

OO: "…"

 

Ritz: "And for yesterday too, when you gave me advice. So let's do this together!!"

​

Then, Ritz held his hand out to me.

 

OO: "…sure!"

 

It felt natural to take his hand like that.

 

He's a strange person…I didn't like him when we met, but…

 

I could feel a reliable warmth coming from the palm of his hand.
