.......Twenty-three.

.......Twenty-four.

.......

.......?

???: Oh, it's Tomori~



Heeyy, are you working now? Thanks for all you're doing~

...Yue.

We could see these lights even from way back there, they're so bright~

...Kurogitsune..........

Welcome back. I'm glad, you are safe.

Mm, thank you. We got here just in time to meet Tomori. Isn't that great, Kurogitsune?

Yeah!



Heheh, there we go. So how's it going, Tomori, is everything fine an' dandy today?

...Things are, middle-of-the-road. To put it, in Kurogitsune's words.

.......Is it possible to go off-road, in this job?

Details, details! Even Tomori's got days where he feels fine, or days where the fires aren't cooperatin'!

...Is that right?

.......I suppose, it is.

Hmm...?

...To put it, in Kurogitsune's words.

.......You sure are kind, Tomori...you don't have to go along with him, you know.

Shaddup Yue, we're bosom buds here! Ain't that right, Tomori!

.......Kurogitsune is, amusing.

Kurogitsune sure likes you a lot, Tomori. Though it might be because you're the only one who's nice to him.

Huh!? What're you talkin' about?

Oh, nothing.

...By the way, some of the lights went out in yesterday's earthquake, didn't they? Did you handle that okay, Tomori?

I put the lights back in order, so it is fine. ...It is for that purpose, I am here.

Your job sure is a tough one...still though, be careful. I can't imagine what'd go down if somethin' happened to you.

I will be fine. ...But, thank you.

Heheh, nothin' to thank me for! I know everything'll be fine, with you around.

.......

Well, we'll be going then. We're probably holdin' you back here, huh? Good luck with work!

Yes. I'll see you both, again.

.......

.......

...Huh? What's up, Tomori? Something wrong?

I think you two seem, to have a tougher time of it than me.

...Eh?

...Do your best, Yue.

.......

Mmhm. Thank you, Tomori.

.......



.......Twenty-five.

.......Twenty-six.



.......

Going around lighting all Master's lights on the mountain, then watchin' them all night...it's a tough job to be doin' every day~

.......It sure is.

Well, thanks to him, the rest of us c'n all sleep in peace at night. Come on, we should get goin' too.

...Okay..........

.......Hm? What's up, Yue?

.......I'm kind of, feeling a little dizzy again...Nnn...

.......Aah, you overworked yourself yesterday, too...you must be tired, after all that walkin' today. You okay?

.......

.......Oi, Yue?

...Mm, I'm fine. I think...I'm probably just hungry.

.......

...I am too, but you don't see ME complainin'. Come on, let's hurry back. Everybody's waitin'.

...Right. .......



...But...something's, different from usual, somehow...?

...It's like, something is calling me. ...Hey, ...




.......Come back.
