Iraira ......

'Konnichiwa soooo!
'Go home!
'Oh, no!What's with you, out of the blue?

Who could blame me for shouting at Umaro, who had walked into the store with a stupid face, without knowing the right time and place?

'Yashiro. Don't take it out on me.
'...... Yashiro, meh.'
'Big brother, you shouldn't be so irritated.
'That's what I'm doing.

'Oh, he blamed me a lot.

'If you're going to do it anyway, you should go for it like, "Shall I cover your annoying lips? If you're going to do it, you'd better go for it!

Okay, you can go home, Regina.

'Welcome, Mr. Umaro. I'm sorry. I'm a little busy right now.'
'Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm fine!

As Jeannette spoke to him, Oumarro moved awkwardly and strangely, as usual.
It's the usual scene.
Yes, it's a scene we've been seeing for a while now.
Umaro like this, the exhausted faces of these people, and ......


And the pile of wax statues that grows day by day.


'Wow~...... they're growing again!

Umaro says without hiding his disgusted face.
That's a disgusting look. ......

Ten days have already passed since the day I went to the 40th district.
During that time, wax statues were placed in that square every day.
You would think that the three wax statues plus ten would make thirteen ............ statues, right?

In fact, there were 24.

Recently, two or three wax statues have been placed in a day.
In the worst cases, as soon as I returned to the sunny pavilion after collecting the wax statues, my sisters reported to me that new statues had been installed. There were times when I received reports from my sisters that a new statue had been installed.
...... You're working too hard, sculptor!

And ...... the pose is different every time!

First of all, the wax statue in the pose of holding the chin between the fingers. The first is a wax statue of a man holding his chin between his fingers.
The pose looks like Ryunosuke Akutagawa. He is not posed like this, is he?

And a wax statue with her hair brushed back and smiling with streaming eyes.
The title is "Are You Trying to Make Me Serious?
...... What's with the incendiary phrase that sounds like some painful fashion magazine?

The next one is a wax statue of a man wiping the blood from his cut lip with his thumb and smiling happily despite the injury.
"...... You're good, that worked.
...... When did I get hit?

In addition, a s*xy wax statue that pulls down the collar, licks its lips with its tongue and gives a provocative look.
I'm not sure I've ever worn anything like this. ......
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not saying that!I'm sure you will.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where by and how to use the site, you can call us at the web site.
It looks like the last pose of a dancing consumer finance commercial. ......
The word written on the pedestal is "burning.
Have you danced through it?

And then there is the wax statue lying face down, knees flapping, cheek resting with a bored expression.
The theme was "Rainy Day Holiday".
It's not about heroes anymore!

And a wax statue on all fours with a fierce expression on its face.
On the pedestal: "Woof, woof, woof!
What the hell do you want?


The wax statue that was installed today has a tight expression and seems to be pointing to some distant future.
The theme is "Return to the Origin".
I guess he made it a few times without paying attention to the theme. It must have taken a lot of imagination to make it in such a short time. You can't come up with so many different compositions. If it was ............, you should have taken a break. ......!

'But the more I look at it, the more it looks just like ......'.
I'm sure you'll agree.

Umaro and Regina are observing the wax statue closely.
They are ...... too nervous to talk in front of women and too negative to be seen by others, but they go for the wax statue.

'If you do this here and ...... rub it, ............ it's done!

Regina moved the wax statue and put the two together with a satisfied expression on her face.
In front of him is a "woof, woof, woof!" that covers the "burning". ......

'Don't play with me!
'The title is 'Fusion'!
'It sounds obscene to me!

The way the wax statue with my face is trying to attack the wax statue with my face is ...... something that gives me ...... chills.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can contact us at the following URL.It's great!I can do it!I can do it if I have this! You were saying that.
'Were you watching me, man?


'You're a very advanced person, ............, with a statue that looks just like you.
It's not what I meant, a**h*le!

This guy has been coming to the sunshine pavilion a lot lately and smiling eerily at us, and I thought ............

'Mmm!I've got an idea!I've got to hurry home and write something!Now if you'll excuse me!
'Wait!What are you writing?
'This world needs love!
'Let's cremate that twisted love!

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help.
...... I don't know what you're writing on, but we can't let such an abomination come into the world!




...... There's something about his expression that makes me want to ask him, 'Did something good happen to you? I'm not sure.
So I ignore it!

'Come on, Magda, Loretta!I'm going to take another look around!
'Wait a minute!Please!

Clinging to my waist, Umaro begged desperately.

'There's something I want you to hear!I really want to announce it right here, right now!

He was filled with a sense of helplessness and said, 'Oh, you want to hear it?Why does he have to be such a jerk?
Why is this guy so caring? ...... Is there something so serious?

'Finally, all the housing complexes in New Town have been completed!
'That's great. Congratulations!
'Ah ......, thank you ............ .......'

That's good!
Nice timing to break the story!
I don't have time to listen to Umaro.

'So, here's the next plan: ......'
'I want you to wait a minute!I have a big announcement to make!

...... d*mn.
You're really coming on strong today, aren't you?
What is it that you want?

'Then tell me quickly. I'm busy.'
'Kohon ...... presumptuous ............ actually, I ......!
'Oh, by the way, Umaro. You've moved here, haven't you?
'I was just about to tell you about it!

Estella gives a wonderfully unpredictable spoiler.
I see. I'm a lord, so I'll be notified when people move in and out.

'?Why are you moving in?
'Because we have a new branch!
'You're the head of Torbeck Engineering!
'There's no rule that says the head can't be in the branch!
'What about the headquarters?
''Yang Bold will take care of it!

Umaro with a satisfied smile on his fox face.
This ...... is a stupid fox. He even moved here to miss Magda. ......

'Magda. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
'What kind of harassment is that?You wouldn't say something like that, would you Magda?
'...... So. Magda would never say such a thing. It's kind of creepy.'
'Muhaha!I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
'...... Are you okay with anything Magda, are you?

Estella's shocked.

'No, no, no, no, no, no!Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
'Oh, God!I'm not sure what to say.

I'm so nervous I have no idea what you're talking about.

'Hoho...... 'Don't look at anyone but me' ............'.
I'm not sure what you're writing down, Regina!You should go home now!
'No, I'm going to observe some more!

d*mn it. You've got sparkling eyes.


Enough. Ignore him, ignore him.

'So, did you move in here to stalk Magda?
'No, I didn't!Of course, wanting to be in the same city and breathe the same air as Magda is nine-tenths of the reason, but there are other reasons as well!
'Ninety-nine percent of ............ it doesn't matter what other reasons you have .......'

Estella became even more distracted.

'Because District 42 has Yashiro-san.
''I can't live without Yashiro-san. ......''
'Regina. Are you deaf?

Even though the distance was only a few meters without any obstacles or shields, somehow the words that entered Regina's ears seemed to have been converted in a strange way.

'It's fun to work with you, Yashiro. I feel like I can sweat better than usual.
'It's fun to work with you, Yashiro. I feel like I can sweat better than usual when I work with you.' ......
'You left out a very important word, Regina.
'Working with Yashiro is the most fun.
'Working with Yashiro is the most fun': ......
'What, are you a genius in that field?It's just a natural disaster for me.
'That's why I've decided that the best way for Torbeck Engineering to become even bigger than it is now is for me to stay in District 42. This is not a compliment, but my intuition as a carpenter!
'Hah!No, Yashiro-san, you can't be here at ......!Everyone's watching! .......'
I'm not sure what to do.It's your ears, your brain, or your spirit that's rotten!
'Are you listening to me, Yashiro-san?
'Oh, I'm sorry. I was preoccupied with Regina.
'........................ "I was crazy about Regina"... ...and...'

Why did you write that down?

'Anyway, the reason I live in the Forty-second Ward is for the benefit of Torbeck Engineering. Besides, I've been doing most of my work in the 42nd district lately. It's nice to live near the site. It's tiring to go back and forth between the 42nd and 40th wards every day.

Umaro smiles brightly.
I'm sure he's feeling refreshed now that he's moved in.
He must be excited to be living near his favorite girl.
On top of that, his work is going well, and he has nothing to worry about.
Things are rosy.
I'm having a great time.

If you're ......, let's get down to the gray reality here.

'Umaro, when did you move in?
'Just finished this morning!
'I see. I'll start the sewage work in the 40th district tomorrow.
'Forty wards?
'I'll have to go back and forth again tomorrow.
'......, what exquisite timing ............!

Just exquisite.
Umaro must have some kind of God who can't stand it if he doesn't interject a little joke every now and then.
What an interesting life. I don't envy you at all, but it's great fun to watch from the side.

'I'm sorry, Umaro. I really should have given you more time. ......'

Estella called out apologetically, perhaps worried about the crumpled Umaro.

'I spoke with the lord ten days ago and was informed today that they are ready to go. I wanted to discuss the date with you guys. ......'
'I thought Umaro might like a surprise like this, so I took the liberty of deciding!
'That's why ......'.
'No,......, it's fine,............, I was prepared for this kind of treatment when I decided to go out with Yashiro-san. ......'
''I'm prepared to go out with Yashiro-san ...... because I'm prepared to go out with Yashiro-san .......''
'Hey, didn't you come home yet, Regina?

Don't let it rot in the cafeteria.
If there's a hygiene problem, it's your fault.

'...... uumalo'.
'Ma, Magda Tan ......'

Magda walks up to the nodding Umaro.
He places a hand on Umaro's shoulder, looks him straight in the face, and mutters in a flat voice.

'...... From today onwards, "I'm going home" has been changed to "I'm coming home."'
'Ma, Magda Tan ............!
'......Umaro is going to work hard and come back ...... here.'
'That's right,............, isn't it!
'Because ...... it's kind of gross.'
'..................Are you still going on with that ...... ending?'

Lifting and dropping ............ your arms, Magda.

'Now that the atmosphere has warmed up, let's get down to business.
'...... I'm feeling like a stepping stone.'

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your investment.


For what?
You know what I'm talking about!

'I'm serious about catching the sculptor who carved this wax statue!
'You've never been serious before, have you?

Estella makes an airheaded comment.
Well, we've always been pretty serious. ......

'There's one thing I've learned in the last ten days.
'Wow. I'd like to hear about it.
'I've analyzed the circumstances under which the wax statue of the mysterious sculptor was set up, and I've figured out his pattern of behavior.
'Oh!Big brother, you seem like a smart guy!
'Yashiro-san is a smart guy.
''The obscenity changes depending on what you put in front of the word 'smart', though.''
''......?''

Hey Regina . Don't talk down to the two purists like they're old men.
You can either shut your mouth or leave right now. No, you go home now.

'What is this pattern of behavior?'

Estella closes in on me with interest.
Hmm, all right.
Then I'll tell you. I'll tell you what my clear mind has figured out about the target's behavior pattern!

'There are a total of twenty-four wax statues installed in the central square so far!
'Yes, sir. They're all here.'
'...... I'm starting to feel a little sick ...... with all the Yashiro's.'

The statues of me are all lined up in the cafeteria.
...... It's definitely creepy. What kind of horror house is this?

'Twelve of these statues were found in the morning.

The first wax statue had been abandoned for some time after it was installed, but half of the second and subsequent statues were found early in the morning before they were donated.
As can be seen from this, there is no doubt that these twelve statues were set up at night.

'In other words, this target has a one in two chance of being nocturnal!
'...... What if it's not nocturnal?'
'It's someone who's active during the day!
'Well, they'll all fall into one of those categories!

Estella complains about my perfect profiling.
People who only criticize without thinking...

'And twelve out of twenty-four ...... half of them are set up during the day, right?
'Yes, that's right!That's why I've been staking it out during the day for the past ten days!

On the afternoon of the day I went to the 40th district to negotiate, a wax statue of me was set up in the central square.
Knowing that there was a possibility that the statue would be installed during the day, I began to stake out the central square during the day.
I tried to catch them in the act.

But the result was ............

Even though there was no movement at all when I was watching, the wax statue was set up in the central square when my sisters called me or I went back to the sunny pavilion because I was hungry.
I couldn't catch the tail at all. ...... I rather suspect that I was being watched.
Anyway, the daytime stakeout was already known to the enemy.

'So, I think I'll do my stakeout at night this time!
'...... That's a very basic ...... suggestion.'

He's so annoying.
It's a good thing that people are willing to do this.

'But, Yashiro-san, ...... are you okay?
'Well, the days and nights might be reversed a bit,......, but I still have to catch this sculptor,............, no matter what! No matter what!

This sculptor may hold the future of the sunlit pavilion!

'...... Yashiro is burning ............ because he's kind of creepy.'
'Hey, Magda!Don't use that on me!
'It's Yashiro's way of falling for the traps he sets for himself. ......'

No, Estella. Magda knows what she's doing.
This half-lidded, expressionless little girl is surprisingly calculating and strong.
It's probably time for her to start wanting attention. If you rub her ears, she'll calm down soon enough.

'Hey, big brother. Are you sure you want to stake it out at night?'
'Yeah. We're not going to get anywhere with this. ...... Oh, don't worry, I won't take your brothers and sisters with me. As expected, I don't feel comfortable dragging them out in the middle of the night.
'But then, big brother, are you going to stake it out by yourself?
'Well, I suppose I will. If you're going to stake it out at night, it's preferable to go alone if you can ...... a small number of people to hide your presence. If you go with a lot of people, there's a good chance you'll be noticed.

After all, the enemy is so sensitive that he will find me hiding and set up a wax statue to avoid me.
I'll have to pay close attention.

'Oh, um, Yashiro-san: ............'

Jeannette stares at me with a worried look on her face. She looks like she's about to burst into tears.



'It's okay, Jeannette. I'm not going to do anything dangerous.'

It's too early to say there's no danger since we don't know what kind of target we're dealing with, but ...... is a way to reassure Jeannette. Let's just say it's a convenience.

'...... yes'.

Although her anxious face still did not disappear, Ginette nodded a little, seemingly satisfied.

'Then, at least take ...... this.'

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.

'It's dark at night, sir.
'How can I use this thing?

I'm not going to let you show off your stupidity at this crucial moment!
It's no good staking out a place if you're lighting up the place like this.
I don't want to see my body slowly dissolve!

'Anyway, we'll start the stakeout tonight. I may not be able to join you for the early morning donation tomorrow.
'I'm afraid that's unavoidable. But please be careful, okay?'

Ginette says anxiously, patting the head of the wax statue she pushed in front of me.
............ Those words are for me, aren't they?
Are you okay?Do you know which one is the real one?

'Jeannette ............, just in case you're wondering, this one is the real one, okay?'
'Huh?I know, I know. Ufufu...... can't be wrong. You know?

Ginette smiles at the wax statue patting her head.
...... You're talking to me!

'But you look so much like him that you might actually start talking.
'If it started talking, I'd melt it immediately.
'Stop it~. Please don't melt it!

Hiding himself behind the wax statue, Jeannette said these lines in a slightly different voice.

'Hi, I'm Yashiro.'

...... No, I know it's supposed to be ventriloquism, but ............

'Why do you keep adding 'san' to yourself?
'Yeah, ............, but it's ...... embarrassing to call me that.'

I'm not sure I'm ready for this.


I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to say.
I wonder if she's interested in wax figures?

'It seems like there are a lot of Yashiro-san here, which is very reassuring.
'No, I'm not at all .......'
'I, on the other hand, am struck by an inexplicable anxiety. ......'
'If all the faces are the same like this, it's really ......'
'Even my brothers have a few more differences in their faces. ......'
'......' 'Hey, I'm Yashiro. I'm kind of grossed out.'
'Alright you guys, get out in the open except for Jeannette!And Magda, you're taking in too much.'

Magda's ventriloquism resembled that of a mouse in dreamland.
Well, I don't think that rat would say, "That's just too creepy.

At all. They don't know what you're thinking, and they do whatever they want.
You'll understand how I feel when you see a wax statue of yourself in the square.
You can laugh because it's someone else's problem.
You're a godd*mn ......

Well, the ...... anxiety is gone from Ginette's face, so that's good.

'Okay!I'm going to be the one to protect the sunlit pavilion at night while my brother is away!

Suddenly, Loretta said such a thing.
She slaps her chest, shakes it slightly, and declares with a proud face.

'No, Loretta is a little unreliable. I'll stay at the Sunken Pavilion and guard the place!

Perhaps inspired by Loretta, even Estella started to say something like that.
She slaps her chest, doesn't move a muscle, and is full of pride. ......

'Where did you just look?
'What are we talking about ......?'

He thrusts his ...... sharp gaze at me. He's really sharp.

'If that's the case, I'll take Yashiro's place.
'That ...... man is a bit ...... troubling.'
'It's ......, isn't it? I'm sorry. ............

Ginette softly rejected Umaro's attempt to come forward.
So ...... Ginette's been able to reject the kindness of strangers, huh? It looks like you've grown up a bit since I arrived.

'Well then, let's at least get some people ...... Regina.'
'Too bad. I can't sleep unless I'm in my own house.


'...... That airheadedness, it's really Regina, isn't it?


I can't speak for others either,........................, but who's a loner, here.

All right. If that's the case, I'm going to take a nap to prepare for the night.

I told him that and went back to my room.
It's still early afternoon, but the room is dark if you close the wooden window tightly, and you're tired from all the running around you've been doing lately, so you'll be able to sleep rather quickly. ...... If I fall asleep until morning, I won't be able to sleep at all.






It's night. ............ Ho! I didn't oversleep.

Mr. Yashiro, take this.

When I left my room and entered the kitchen, Ginette handed me my lunch.

'It's a long night. Please eat when you are hungry.

It was a heavy, three-tiered lunch.
...... I'm not going to eat this much, as expected.

'I'm sorry. There were a lot of yashiros in the cafeteria. ...... I made too many.'

I'm sure he can't tell the difference between the real thing and a wax statue.

'Yashiro. I brought a lantern from home. Use it to kill the murderer.'
'What are you, an idiot?
'Ba...... you know, Yashiro. People are trying to help you, and you're trying to ......!

If there were lights on in that dark square, it would be like saying, 'I'm here.

'I reject the lights. I'm going to assimilate completely into the darkness and capture my enemies alive.'
'I see. Then I'll withdraw this.'

Seemingly convinced, Estella puts the lantern away.
I mean, are you sure you want to be here?
The only daughter of a lord, in a house with a man at this time of night.

'With Natalia's permission, yes. Your trustworthiness is quite impressive.'
'I don't think Natalia trusts me, though. ......'

With that guy, I don't think it's 'don't worry about him', I think it's more like 'he's ...... sure to get you if something goes wrong'.

'I'll protect everyone while my brother is away!

Loretta is very motivated.
She is wearing a headband and a small piece of leather armor over her usual apron dress.
It may have been loaned to her by Estella, but ............ it's very unreliable.

Well, it's Loretta.
I'll do my best! She must be the type of person who falls asleep first thing in the morning.

I feel a little uneasy about opening the Sunken Pavilion at night, but ......

'Don't worry. You're all here with me.

When I look at her, she gives me a soft smile.
But the smile was still laced with a hint of anxiety.
...... No, is this a sign of concern for me?

I'm not sure how many times I'll be able to make this face.

I'll finish it today.
Sculptor.
I'll get you today!

I'm off then.

All of you come to the door to see me off and send me on my way.
After looking at each of their faces, I walked ...... step by step into the deep darkness of the night that seemed to be engulfing me in darkness.


A dozen minutes passed, and I ..................


'I can't!I'm so scared!The darkness of the night is outrageous!

I was running back to the ...... sunlit pavilion.

I mean, come on!
It's so dark!
It's so dark it's unbelievable!

I can't do anything like that!

And I'm all alone!
I can't do it! I can't do it!

'That was faster than I thought, ......'
'...... Yashiro is afraid of the dark.'
'Big brother looks like he's solid, but he's actually ......'
'Yes. He also has a cute side.
'''No, that's not it. ......''
''Heh......?''

What are you guys doing over there when I'm shaking so badly?
Why don't you go talk to him?
I don't care if you pat my head or something!

Do something about the scary thing inside me!

I want to crawl under the covers and fall asleep, but I don't want to sleep at all because I was asleep just a few minutes ago... ...The gynets are looking super sleepy!I'm the only one who's not sleepy at all!


At this rate, I won't be able to ...... sleep all night long. .................. Ahh! ......

'......Xu, I won't forgive you, you sculptor!I'm going to get you, I'm going to get you!


............ See you later.
