"Sweet smell, orange liquid ......," he mumbles.

　I remember my grandpa telling me once that ...... Alicia's eyes are special.

　I wonder if she has some kind of appraisal ability.　...... or just a forensic eye?

"You really made it, didn't you?"

　Jicchan smiles at me.

　Grandpa gently reached out and put his hand on my head.

　I had been on the verge of tears just a moment ago. ....... Tears flow so quietly.

"Jicchan, make sure you drink that, okay?"
