That morning, the floor of our ...... house fell out with a loud bang.

'Oh, it's ............ unbelievable .......'

'Loretta sister, there's a hole!
'The floor is gone, Loretta sister!

My little brothers and sisters gathered around me as I told them the obvious truth.

The house is decrepit and damaged by the heavy rains.
In addition to that, my parents' violent ...... repeated day after day, no, this is fine. Forget about it.

Anyway, all these accumulated damages came to bare their fangs all at once here ...... and the floor of our house fell out in pieces.
The walls, roof and pillars were quickly reinforced by Umaro and his team. ...... They were planning to rebuild the house as soon as the new housing complexes were completed, so the repairs were not that sturdy.

Many of my younger siblings have moved out of the family home, as they have been offered housing at workplaces such as construction companies and farms. But my younger siblings, my parents, and I were still living at home.
............ What should I do .............

'Then you should stay at my house for a while.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.
Moreover, he arranged for my younger siblings to be taken care of at the church.
I feel relieved now.

...... What, my parents?
They'll be fine. I'm sure they'll be able to sleep anywhere. ...... Or rather, they won't be able to sleep tonight anyway. ...... No, please forget this too.






That's why I'm staying at the Sunlit Pavilion from today.
There is only one vacant room on the second floor of the hotel, and I'm going to use it.
Of the three rooms in a row, the one on the northernmost side is my brother's room and the one next to it is Magda's room. I'm renting the room next to it, on the south side.

It's an empty room, but please bear with me.
'Not at all, Mr. Manager!I'm just happy to have a bed!

In my house, it's normal for someone to be there even though there's nothing, so this room with a bed and no one around is like paradise. In addition, there are no drafts or huge wild animals like in the room where I used to live alone.
This room is amazing!

'...... Ah, .................., the smell of straw... ...'

I could die tomorrow ...... for this luxury, but I have no regrets. The bed is so soft. ............ I'm going to be a child of this house!

'Mmmm ............ I'm so excited I can't sleep ............'.

That's how I felt for a few hours, enjoying the soft bed.
When it was late at night and the world was silent,......, I heard a faint noise.

It must have been about three hours since I left you all and went into my room. ...... You should all be asleep by now, but ............ I hear something in the hallway. I can hear something in the hallway.
...... Is it a thief?
If it's a thief, we're in trouble. I, as a housemate, have to protect the valuables of the Sunlit Pavilion!

............But I'm still a little scared, so ............I'm going to open the door. I'll be there.
In order to avoid being noticed,............ softly,............ softly. ........................

'What?

I almost screamed. I'm really impressed with myself for holding back!

'......What are you doing ............ 'together' ......'?

In the hallway, there were my brother and Magdacho.
The two of them are talking in front of Magdacho's room.
Magda-chou is facing away from me, so I can't see his face, but I can see my brother vaguely by the moonlight. I have good night vision, so that's all I need.

'...... You have a very kind face, big brother. ............'

I'm not sure if anyone can hear me or not, but he's whispering to Magda.
Aaah!I stroked your head!He started to fuzz my ears!

You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.

After a few minutes of conversation, the Magdacho nodded his head and ...... his brother laughed with a very happy look on his face.
...... What is it?I'm not sure what you're talking about.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it. I'm not sure what to do.I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'm going to take you into my brother's room!
Are you going to do something violent like my parents?
No, no, wait a minute!He's passing through the room!
Outside?Outside?
I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but it's a good idea.



It's a good idea to take a look at your own personal life.
............Don't, don't, don't, what should I do?
You will find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
But if you step in at the wrong time,........................, you can't!
I can't help you!

I crawled into bed, pretended I hadn't seen anything, and forced myself to go to sleep.





'......', that's what happened.
'Okay, Yashiro. Sit on the floor.'
'Wait a minute, come on!

The next morning. The next morning, when I had finished my donation to the church and returned to the sunlit pavilion, I told him everything.


My brother's mysterious behavior, in its entirety.

'You, of all people, ......, are ............' to Magda.
'That's right!I'm sure you're not the only one who's had a bad experience.
'...... Loretta, you're casually stabbing me.'

I'm not sure what to say. ...... Huh?

'You misunderstand me, you idiot!
'Big brother, you've lost your nerve!
'...... Yes, misunderstanding.'
'Is that so, Magda?
'Hey, Loretta, ...... remember that later.'

It's worth listening to the victim's opinion, not the suspect's.'

'......I'm ............ afraid to go to the bathroom at night.'
'Oh ............, so that's what happened.'

That one word made it all make sense.
My brother was woken up by Magda-chan who couldn't go to the bathroom at night. ...... He made such a kind face to comfort Magda-chan who was scared. ............ I'm convinced.

'I wish you'd ...... stop making criminal faces at me, big brother, it's too complicated.
'I don't remember doing that!
'But that's surprising. You're afraid to use the bathroom at night. ......'
'It's not surprising or anything.
'Because you don't look like it.
'You idiot!I've always had a fear of ghosts!
'You're afraid of my brother, aren't you?
'...... Magda, chaperone. I'm used to it.'
'Why is your brother being followed by Magda-chan?
'Baka, you!Magda is the most reliable person in this store!He's unfazed by ghosts, and even if a beast comes, he'll fight it back, how reassuring is that?

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
...... I'm afraid of ghosts. ............ Even my youngest siblings don't say that.

'It's a little uncool. ......'
'Katchin!All right, I'm good. You guys sit there!...... I'll tell you a scary story from my country: ............ I don't care if you can't go to the bathroom tonight, okay?
'Oh, no, there's no such thing as a ghost ......, sir.
'Totally, Yashiro is ...... why do you do such childish things?
'Oh,......, I'm not very good at scary things,......, so I'm going to go prepare for it!Please, everyone alone!

The manager fled to the kitchen, and the rest of us listened to the brother's story.
You'll be able to find out more about this on ....... ..................






I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure what you mean by "accidental property".
I'm scared!
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'm so scared I can't sleep!I'm so scared I can't sleep~............!

Late that night, I was wrapped up in bed under the covers, waiting for the sleep that never seemed to come.
One sheep, two sheep...... Ah, I can't sleep............

And then ............


Gee......


I heard a sound.

'What?

There's someone on the other side of the hallway. ............
I'm scared. I'm going to bed!I can't sleep!

I'm scared because I don't know who it is!

I made up my mind and opened the door as fast as I could.

'Who's there?
'...... Magda.
'Huh?

I ran out and saw Magda standing in the hallway with her usual expressionless face. ............

'...... Oh no, no, no. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ......

I'm not sure what to make of it.

'......He remembered his own story and got scared.
'I'm sorry about your brother ...................'

It was one of those nights when I thought it might be a little ...... uncool after all.
