"What is it, Master Rust?"

　Ary looked at me and asked in a worried whisper.

　I must have looked like a fool. I tighten my face quickly, aware of Ary's eyes on me.

"No, it's nothing. I was just remembering Seyrouk's bracelet earlier. Sailuke, next time I hope you won't do something flashy on your own.

　I speak the last part to Sailuke, who is still on my shoulder.

Sailuke replies, "Curlew. A triangular button-like object is floating near him, still flashing.

Sailuke, you have done a great job. Can I pet it?

"Well, I can say that you did a great job..." I replied. Sailuke, Ary wants to pet you.

Sailuke stretches his neck toward Ary.

　It seems he wants to be stroked. The triangular button moves with the movement.

　Is the position of the button based on the position of Sailuke's head? And yet, neither Ary nor any of the soldiers around him react at all, even though it's so unnatural. Is it the same as the translucent plate from the other day?

　Ary, who is shorter than I am, stands on tiptoes and strokes Sailuke hard. Sailuke looks not too satisfied.

　I bend down a little to help him, wondering if I should press the flashing triangle button.

　I think that if I press the button, there is a good chance that the translucent plate will come out. If I pretend to stroke it, it will look better to the people around me, and I'm sure they won't be able to see the plate that comes out. The only question is how long it will last. Will it disappear if you don't push it? Or will it disappear after a certain period of time once the plate is released? Hmmm.

　I wonder, but in the end, I decided to finish what I have to do first,

　I decide to go to plug the hole.

　Sailuke seemed to like being stroked so much that he stayed with Ary.

　I shrug my lightened shoulders and call for Hippopo and take out a few more scrolls. This time it's just a regular scroll with the usual alchemical beasts.

　With that, I call out a few Hippopo Brothers, all about the same size as Hippopo, and begin to fill in the gaps.

　The first thing I did was to fill in the holes in the scroll.

　As the sun was setting, I thanked Ary for his hospitality, said goodbye, and returned to my tent. The road project was to be basically a day trip. I had to help Hippopo with the road project basically on a day trip, thanks to his good footwork.

　The triangular button of Sailuku, which I had been worried about, was still there, blinking continuously without disappearing.

"Squeak!"

　Sailuke with a snap of his tail.

　Hmm. I still have no idea what you're talking about. Well, whatever. Let's just push it.

　I reach for the flashing triangle. Sailorque watches me quietly.

　The moment my finger touches the triangle, it opens and turns into the translucent plate I have seen before.

　I knew it! So far, so good. ...... hmmm?

　I stare intently. The words on the plate remain unreadable. However, this time, I could somehow understand the meaning of some of the sentences that should have been unreadable.

　It was as if a double copy of the text was being made, with meaningful words floating on top of the original unreadable text in some places.

　I look at the most readable sentence, the one that seems to be the headline.

"Does this say 'stay, tas'?"

　Seyrouk stared quietly at me as I was engrossed in the translucent plates.
