Nyanta & Pomeko

Chapter 26: Makoto and Anri

"'Well then, we're breaking up. Tomorrow is a vacation, but don't stay out too late. We'll continue to patrol the park as well."

　After the teacher dismissed the group, almost all of the students who had gathered at the assembly point began to move to re-enter the park.

　We waited there until the flow of people calmed down.

　The few students who remained were making plans to go somewhere after this.

　Destiny is not the only place to play. There are many other places to play in Tokyo.

　I'll have to find Mookie for Puggy's sake.

"Shinozuka, this time we'll find Mookie."

"Yes!　Let's take a picture and show it to Hizaki-san!"

　We were about to head into the park when the teacher approached us.

　Who also needed to head into the park to supervise the students.

"Hey, guys. Did you enjoy Destiny?　Oh, I don't have to ask anyway. It's written all over your faces. Did you get to meet Mookie? He's shy and he's a king, so make sure you find him."

　It was kind of unusual. I never knew the teacher could talk so much. ......

　Shinozuka asked the teacher a question.

"Mam!　Do you have any precious memories of Destiny?　You look so kind today!"

"Shinozuka, I'm always kind. ...... Well, let's just say I have some memories. Hmm, I was flabbergasted a while ago, so I'll take some pictures of the park for him. ...... You guys go ahead and get going. Don't be too late."

"Yes, mam."

"Yes, I understand!"

"...... You've become so cute, even your tone of voice."

　The teacher walked away from us, mumbling.

　It is true that Shinozuka's tone of voice is always like this.

　It's as if I've become somewhat younger, or more natural.

　But I don't feel a strong sense of discomfort even when she's speaking in a strong manner.

　I'm sure that's a part of Shinozuka.

　I don't dislike either of them.

"What's wrong?　What's wrong Shinjo?　Hurry up and let's go!"

　We entered the park and sat on a bench for the time being.

　After all, this space was a mysterious world.

　Everyone can become a resident of a dreamland. You can be kind. There are mysterious encounters.

"Oh, Pomeko, can Mookie teleport?　I thought I saw them for a bit at the parade, and then they were gone. Totally ......, no, wait?　The inhabitants of dreamland?　Then let's ask the inhabitants."

"Wait, Shinjo?　Are you okay?　You don't have to force yourself to find Mookie.　You can eat dinner, take a leisurely stroll through the park, watch the fireworks, watch the parade, and go home!

"...... Is that what you call slow?　...... Well, it's fun, so I don't mind."

　As I looked around, I caught sight of Tacky taking a picture with a high school girl.

　I don't know because I really had my eyes on him, but ...... I felt like I did.

"I'll go ask him."
