The sound of metal hitting metal.
It's loud enough to drown out all the sounds of the world.

I wish it would drown out everything, the sounds of the world.

'......, Norma!You're Norma!

A voice interrupted the hard sound of metal. I'm grabbed by the shoulder.
I turned around and saw the familiar face of a workmate.

'What is it?Don't talk to me when I'm working!It's common sense, right?
'No, no. Not at all. That iron's already dead.'

When I looked back at him, I saw a bent piece of iron lying in front of me. It's a rough, distorted, dull, blackened scrap of iron. ...... Did I make this?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ......

A bearded man with a tearful expression on his face. He raises the muscles in his arms and wipes the corners of his eyes.
Don't cry, you big man. ...... You're such a pussy.

'And I'm ...... about to leave.'
'Hmm?'
'Oh, my God.'

He pointed at my chest.
When I looked down, the top half of her breasts were exposed. I looked down and saw that the upper half of her breasts were exposed, but they were 'barely hidden' and in a very delicate state.

'Well, I guess it's inevitable that you lose your clothes while working!
'You're too loose. We're here too, so you have to be careful. Norma, you're about to get married.'
'You're so annoying!You don't count as a thing!
'A word of advice from a fellow maiden.
'What kind of a girl are you?

I'm not going to be lumped in with this bearded muscle, I'm going to ...... cry.

'If you don't put it away soon, someone will be attracted by your breasts and come to take a peek.
'What?

In an instant, the blood in my body boiled.

'Don't say unnecessary things!
'Yea~n!

I couldn't help but raise my voice.
...... What are you doing, I'm...

'...... I'm sorry.'
'No, I'm fine. But ...... I think you should go home for the day.'
'But ......'

Even if I go home, ......
I can't stop thinking about it. About Jashiro.

He'll forget about me.

I can't!

My heart is going to tear ............ apart.

After the gluttony contest...
I thought it was inevitable that he was going to leave the city.
If it was his own decision, we had no right to interfere. We had to accept it.

Even if we are far away, if he remembers me once a year or once a decade, I can live with that.

But ......
It's not like Yashiro wanted it to happen this time.
I can't stand the thought of ...... the demon plant eating my memories and making me forget all about you. You can't bear it!

'Norma-chan......'
'...... I'll get some rest and get back to work.
'Norma-chan!
'What?I just want to work!
'Not that, .......'
'......?
'If you don't put your breasts away soon, ............ someone's going to see them.'
'What ......?

I looked at the entrance and saw ......

'Jeez, ......'.

Yashiro was peeking at me with very serious eyes.

'Yashiro!What are you looking at?
'Your boobs.
'Don't be so sure!Or rather, don't look at them!

She hurriedly straightened her bosom and ran in front of Yashiro.
Who would really be attracted by breasts?
You know, Yashiro. He'll never change.


It's not going to change. ......

I'm not sure what to say.
The ...... face twists involuntarily.

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

I'm not sure what I'm doing.
I really don't know what I'm doing. ......

'...... I feel like my chest is going to burst.
'I feel like I'm going to burst!

I've always felt like I was going to burst!
That's why I always wear loose-fitting clothes!

Enough. I'm calling it a day.

'Excuse me!I'm going to leave you alone for now!
'Yes, sir!I'll take care of the rest...'

Your colleagues wave at you smilingly.
You're a real softy. And you're a meddler.

'Are you sure you want to do this?
'I don't care. I couldn't be bothered with you anyway.'

I gulped as I said it.

'I, what are you talking about, ......?

'No, you're not!You see, that's not what ...... is for.

I know there is no point in trying to make a lame excuse to Yashiro.
I know, but you can't just sit here and not mend your ways,......, it's embarrassing.

'Oh, you always come here for the tits,......, and you're worried about that disease!

...... This is not happening.
It's too much, I'm ......

'Then you may need to recuperate. ............ I want to lie down with a breast pillow!
'It'll get worse, that's for sure!

But Yashiro always does this to cover up his mistakes.
He makes ...... a comfortable place to be.
That's why I'm ............

I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure what to do.What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
'Nothing, nothing, nothing.

No, no, no, no.
What are you thinking?Right in front of him.

'Oh, by the way, it's almost lunchtime!

As I said that, the noon bell rang over the city as if I had timed it just right.

'Oh, ......, that's great, your stomach clock.
'Ha, it's not a stomach clock!I know it by feel, when I'm working!

I'm not trying to be a picky eater.
...... I'm not that kind of woman.

'Do you have any plans for lunch?
'Well, ............ it would be nice if there was a good cook somewhere who could make me lunch. ...... Gee~'
'Kufu ......, if you're begging, do it a little better.'

I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
I'm not sure what to do with it.

He pretends to spoil me, but he always lets me spoil him.

That's why I love Yashiro. ............

I'm not sure what to do.


I bang my head against the wall to shake off the evil thoughts.
...... I think something's wrong with my head.
I'm not sure if the heat from the furnace has damaged my brain or not.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to eat.
'...... But first, I'd like to put a bandage on your forehead.
'This will go away if you spit on it.'
'Right. Well then, .......'
'Wait!

Yashiro sticks out his tongue and approaches me.

'I'll put it on myself!Don't lick me, not here!

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
......, Yashiro... You're joking too much!

'............ "here"?
'--?You're wrong about 'here'.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
What's wrong with me?I'm sorry!

'Anyway, you should come to my place!I'll make you something.'


'Oh!I'm looking forward to it...'

Yashiro said in a light tone and followed me.

Is all this casual atmosphere going to disappear?If you forget me, ......

Yashiro...... don't forget me,.......




I'm not sure what to do.

As soon as we arrived at the house, Yashiro lay down on the floor in the living room.
I'm glad you're relaxing,............, but that statement is a little ...... embarrassing.


'...... s*x'.
'No, that's not what I meant!

No!Yashiro, you're such a jerk!
Why would I do that ......?

I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm not sure what to do.

...... No, this is more like ............

I'll be back. You'll have to wait a little while.
'Oh, I'll be waiting patiently.'

After saying no, I began to prepare lunch ...... while I began to change my clothes.




'Sorry to keep you waiting, Yashiro.
'Oh, it's ready,............, what are you doing?

When he went to the living room with the food, Yashiro's eyes widened.
I went to the living room with the food and Yashiro's eyes widened.

'That's a cheerleader!

That's the outfit I wore for the big eating contest and it was well received.
It's a costume that I'm proud of and that Yashiro praised.

He gave me a lot of clothes.
I'm sure he likes this kind of stuff. He wants me to wear all kinds of clothes.

I'll wear anything if I want.
I'll wear it and show it to Yashiro.

...... So, I want you to remember my name, .......

Come on, Yashiro. Eat well. There's plenty more where that came from.
'Oh, ...... no, I'll eat, but ...... why the cheerleader?
'I'll cheer for you!

The choreography we came up with together is still etched in my body.
The cheerleader cheer that Yashiro was so happy to see ...... will be performed now, just for Yashiro!

'GO! GO! GO☆FIGHT☆WIN!

Put your arms around your body, raise your legs high, put your feet together and jump high!
After ......, the bowl of soup fell over.

'Oh hey!Don't go crazy at dinner time!
'Aah!I'm sorry!

I hurriedly wiped up the spilled miso soup with a cloth.
It's hard for a cheerleader to show her true colors in a small place like this, if it's ......!

'I'm going to go wash the rag!

' and leaves the living room.
Cheerleaders don't belong at dinner. So now ......

'Sailor suit!

When I returned to the living room to change my clothes, Yashiro surprised me with a 'puff! I was surprised to see Yashiro flicking pickles at me.
Hmmm. In terms of impact, it's a success.

'...... Why the sailor suit?
'You wanted me to wear this, didn't you?
'No, well, ......'.

It's the dress Yashiro gave me as formal wear when the Lumberjack Guild branch was completed.
I wore a different dress to the party, so I've only shown you a little of it.
I'm sure you must feel like you're getting a bargain with the premium.

'Come on, Yashiro. I'll feed you.'

I sit down next to him and pick up his chopsticks.
Cut the boiled fish into small pieces and bring them to Yashiro's mouth.

'Here, it's 'aun'.
'Oh, hey, .......'
'Don't be shy. It's okay, once in a while. See?'

I lean in closer and try to be a little sweet.
I'm sure Yashiro will indulge me like this.

I know it's not fair.
You're taking advantage of Yashiro's kindness and selling him our favor.


I know. ...... I know, but ...... this is all I can do.

I know, I know. ...... I know, but ............ this is all I can do.

'Come on, I'll give you a quick 'ahhhh'.
'No,......, just be normal.
'This is normal for me.
'If it's ......, you're stepping into some dangerous territory, aren't you?

Excuse me?
I'm not in any more of a hurry than I was before just because I saw Wendy's wedding!
That's not what this is about!

Oh!

The word ...... marriage flashed through my mind for just a moment, and I ...... got upset, and the boiled fish fell off my chopsticks.
You will find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

I'm not sure what to say.Hurry up and take it off. You'll get a stain.'
'Yeah, I guess so!

I can't believe I'm staining the clothes Yashiro gave me. ......
I hurriedly took off my clothes before ...... I was stopped.

I'm not sure what to do.Don't take your clothes off here!
I'm sure you're right.

She panicked, flailed, and rolled out of the living room.
It was a close call,......, and I almost did it myself,.......

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and money. ...... You're a little different from other men.

Okay. I'll dress up in something more striking to please Yashiro!




I'll change my costume again. ...... to the secret "thing"!

This is the strongest impact!
The first time I wore it, Yashiro was so happy. ............

I'm not sure.

As soon as I entered the living room, I felt a piercing gaze on me.

That's right, that's right, you're not going to look, are you?
You love swimsuits, don't you, Yashiro?

I'm going to wear the monokini swimsuit that I got when I was playing in the river and strike a pose that will make men swoon.
This will make Yashiro very excited.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this at .............

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
...... Oh, what?

'I'm sorry, I'll say it one more time, ...... just be normal.'
'Yeah, but... You don't like it, do you?Like this?'
'No, I like it, but!But in my heart, I'm so excited! in my heart!

Hmm... You are? That's right, that's right.

'But if you dress like that when we're alone, ............ things will be awkward. I'm a guy too. ......'
'--?

That's right,......, that's right.
If Yashiro were to get into that ...... kind of mood, .................. yeah, It's certainly ...... not good .............

I'm suddenly embarrassed,............, what am I doing in my own living room?

'Oh, ...... no, that ............'.

But I want Yashiro to be happy. ............

'Hey, do you want me to give you a lap pillow or something?
'You're going to kill my self-control!

Aah!
What a shabby outfit, if you look closely!

'Huh,............,......, it's normal, isn't it?
'If that's the case,......, then you have a very disappointing personal life.

Oh, ...... why can't things go the way I want them to ......
If I could get around like Yashiro, ...... Yashiro wouldn't forget about me. ............

'Well, you know. Let's get some food. I understand how you feel.'

...... You understand how I feel?


Hey, Yashiro.
I'm not sure if you're really going to say something like that.


You call me ...... "you", but ......
Not once did you call me ............ by my name. ............!


'............ hmm ............ hmm... ...'

I don't know what to do. ......
I don't know what to do. ...... There's nothing I can do. ............

My heart is heavy, and I can't find my footing. ......
My knees relaxed and I slumped down.
My buttocks flattened against the floor, and I felt a cool ............ sensation that pushed me over the edge.



'...... Huh!

I can't stop crying.

What am I doing?
I'm dressed like an idiot, spinning around on my own, ...... even Yashiro is disgusted with me. ......
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get rid of it. ............ ...... There will be no place for me in Yashiro's life!

That thought made me even ...... more scared. ............

'......Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

It's a shameful, disgusting thing to do.

'......Yasane............Yashiro......Forget it... .........'

I don't know when I became so weak.
We met occasionally, worked together, and talked about trivial things. We used to have such a common relationship.

Since when did Yashiro become such a big part of my life? ......

I don't want to be liked by Yashiro.
I don't want that.

It's just.
I just want to like him. I want to feel for him.
That's all I want.

That's all I want. ............

Please don't deprive me of that right. ......

No matter what you think, it's ...... too sad that I'm not in Yashiro's heart!

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what to do. ......... demon grasses and ............ memories ...... ......'

I was anxious, scared, ...... and lonely.

After crying so miserably, I hit Yashiro and ............ felt so miserable.
But I couldn't help it, my heart was worn out. ............

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you.The Obeyashiro I know is a great man, he can do that easily!

I couldn't help shouting.
All the anxiety and loneliness that I'd been suppressing in my heart and ignoring, all because of my vanity, came pouring out in a torrent of tears and I couldn't stop them.

I heard the sound of Yashiro softly approaching me.
If you don't cover your tears, they'll flow incessantly. I wiped my eyes again and again and listened to the rustling of his clothes.

Softly, a hand on my head combed my hair with the gentleness of handling a broken object.
The palm of my hand touches my ear, and for a moment my body reacts ...... with a jolt of embarrassment, and my cheeks grow hotter and hotter.

'Don't worry, .......'

I hear a quiet voice in my ear.

'I've remembered everything.

Yashiro's voice flowed into my ears, spreading through my veins and into my entire body.
The gentleness fills my brain and travels down to my arms, legs, and every corner of my body.

'...... Don't cry anymore, Norma.

Now--my whole body is filled with yashiro.

'............Oh, that's ...... it!

Yashiro crouched behind me and stroked my head.
I turned around and there was Yashiro. I can't stand the thought of it. ......

'Yashiro!

I turned around and jumped on him.


Yashiro called my name.


I hadn't realized how happy that made me.

I'm so overwhelmed that I fall down, but I don't care.
I cling to Yashiro's chest and press my face against his chest.
The smell of him fills my lungs.

'You're late, how long do I have to wait?Idiot!You idiot!You idiot!
'I'm sorry, .......'
'You don't look like you're sorry.

Yashiro called me by name.
He'll never forget me.
I can't let him forget me.

Ah, ......, Yashiro wasn't defeated by the demon plant after all.
That's right. That's the kind of man I know, Obayashi.

It's okay. See?I've got the seeds. So it's time to go to .......'
'Just a little longer!

Once I knew I was okay, ...... it was strange ............ that I wanted to spoil him even more than before.
I wanted to spoil Yashiro as much as I could now.

I'm not letting you go.
I'm not going to let go of this warmth, not even for a second.

For now, just for now, ...... Yashiro is for me only!

'I won't let you go until you call me 'Norma' a hundred times!
'Yes, .......'
'Don't complain!
'Well, ............ tits, tits, tits ......'
'You're calling my name!

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.


So, call me by my name. ..................

'......'s swimsuit is hitting my tits so hard, Norma, is that okay?I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

............ I look back at my figure.

It's a great way to get a feel for what's going on in your life. ......

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to do with it.

'Don't look at me!
'That's why I was so kind to tell you!
'Ahhhh, no!I can't get married!
'...... No, it's probably my fault. ......'
'Did you say something?
'...... No, it's nothing.'

Oh, God!Yashiro, already!

'I'm going to go change, I'll have some food!

He stood up hurriedly, checked his ...... buttocks with his fingers to make sure they were well hidden, and hurried ...... out of the living room.
After you leave, stretch your neck again and look into the living room.

'...... I've got plenty of refills,' he said.
'Oh. I'll take my time.'

Seeing Yashiro raise one hand makes my heart feel warm.
This is a great way to get the most out of your time with your family and friends.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.


And ............


I'm sure you're hoping to monopolize him one day.


I don't want to be an understanding, mature woman anymore. ......
You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.
