Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Flo: You don't go on, move around.

I'll just rest, okay?

The feeling of the chair being pushed and pulled is slightly subtle, and the noise caused by the friction on the ground makes the ears uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as stopping Sui's childish behavior.

Flo leaned back, completely against the back of the chair, and looked up almost squarely into his face.

Flo: The collar, it's dirty.

Sui: Huh?

...Ah, really, I didn't even notice.

The collar, which should have been pure white, was stained with tan marks, but fortunately, it was just a star.

Both Flo and Sui are familiar with this kind of trace.

Flo: ...

Sui?

Sui: Huh?

He pretended nothing had happened, turned over the neckline, and covered the dirt with the clean part underneath.

Even so, it was enough for Flo to notice the slightest ailment.

Flo: Why, you "also", get this kind of injury?

The location is weird.

the side of the neck.

Flo is all too familiar with this kind of wound, because he has one himself.

Sui: Because...

……

how to say.

I want to hide but have been discovered, and I don't know whether to lie or impose a cover-up in front of this person.

It might not have been such a difficult decision a few months ago.

Now Sui really doesn't want to continue to be in a stalemate - it's not easy for the relationship to ease.

Flo: It's okay not to say.

Unexpectedly, it was Flo who made the first statement.

He stretched contentedly and left from the table.

When he got up, his legs and feet suddenly felt weak, which should be numbness caused by sitting for a long time.

Although poor Sui reacted quickly, a hand was already stretched out to help.

Flo made his own adjustments before getting help.

Flo: What's wrong?

Sui: ...

I think, I'm kind of funny.

Sui didn't expect that it would unfold like this, Sui was stunned for a moment.

His outstretched arm just stretched out like this, without taking it back, like a sculpture.

Flo: No denial.

Instead, take it back.

After being scolded a little by Flo, he was obedient stupidly, and even pouted, as if he was wronged.

This act of deliberately pretending to be cute...is not suitable for him.Even Mr. Zolf, who is of the same stature, can look much better than him in the final effect.

Flo: ...that's disgusting.

Sui: Huh.

Flo: ...

Okay.

It doesn't quite fit, that's all.

Too much deliberate change of words could not have a consoling effect, but with the lessons learned from the past, Sui did not intensify.

It seems that it has been a long time since the last time I left the desk. Standing on the ground, Flo looked at the spacious home and felt strange for a long time.

Flo: (…)

(wrong.)

Sui, have you... moved, the furniture, the location?

Sui: A little bit.

Isn't it good looking?

Their previous furniture arrangement was Flo's idea, and Sui was a typical disabled person back then.

——The young master who just ran away from a well-to-do family with no worries about food and clothing did not know what it meant to take care of himself.

Flo, on the other hand, did not say no since he was a child, and was rarely noticed. If he did not protect himself, he would have starved to death at a very young age.

Flo: Hmm.

not bad.

...but, is there any, useful, change?

Sui: I thought it looked good, so I did it like this...

Does moving furniture have "benefits"...?

Flo: Exactly.

I can't find something.

Where are they?

Sui suddenly became interested, and happily dragged Flo around.

In essence, this place is still home, so there is no need to observe it with such fanfare.

He still didn't know how to control his strength—even Flo, who accidentally possessed a strange strength that didn't belong to him, had learned how to control it freely after so many months—the arm he was pulling hurt a little.

Flo: Sui?

... Was your strength so great before?

Sui: Huh?

Never noticed.

Because, it has never happened before...

……

Didn't I often lose energy after that?In private, I have been thinking about practicing more.

……Wait a moment.

He suddenly let go, staring blankly at the palm of his hand, as if there was something non-existent in the palm of his hand that kept attracting his attention.

Flo even dangled in front of him, but that didn't have any noticeable arousal effect.

The timing that brought him back to life was very... strange.

Flo: Hey, hey?

you don't talk? —Then I'm going out.

Sui: Don't.

After hearing this joke, he responded instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he clasped his arms together, pressing hard not to leave by himself.

Flo: I'm joking.

and.

Even if, not joking.

You can't keep me bored at home forever.

Sui: ...isn't it good at home?

It would be great if there was a reason for you not to go out for the rest of your life.

Flo: Please don't say such strange words in front of me.

Thinking about it in my heart is enough, anyway, I can't control Sui's brain.

After the move, the sofa in the living room is closer to the balcony. Correspondingly, the light is much better than before.

Flo sat on it, lazily, trying to doze off.
