It was the seventh day of February on Fire. I finished my daily routine of brushing Belle and was thinking about what to do now when I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

'Mr. Kaitkun!　Kite Kun-san~!
"...Mr. Raz?　Hello.
'Hello!　Mr. KiteCun, Tat, we have a problem!　It's a big deal!
What's going on?　You're in such a hurry....

　I look at Raz-san, who is moving his small body around a lot and appealing to me that he's in trouble, and I ask him back, tilting my head.
　Then Raz-san looks around as if he is cautious about something, comes close to my ear and tells me in a low voice.

''.........Raz........ta, I've learned something terrible.
...is it a big deal?
''........Yes sir. I will only tell you, my favorite Kite Kun-san.
Yeah, yeah, thank you?

　I still can't read the intent of the conversation, but I can tell from Raz-san's demeanor that it's really important information.
　I was also somewhat nervous as I waited for Raz-san's next words.


...What?
So today is the day my request is granted!
...Oh, I see........

　What are they saying?　And you're getting louder, but are you okay in that area?
　No, no, well, Raz-san says the usual outlandish things, but.......

''........I heard it's called 'Tanabota'!
You mean.........the Tanabata?
'You know him!　Mr. Kaitkun!
'Yeah, well it's an event in the world I was in, and...'

　
　Now what to do I'm sure you're talking about the strips of paper, but there's no guarantee that your wish will come true.

''Well it's a 'ritual' in Kite Kun's world, isn't it? This has increased the credibility of this one by a lot!
....

　Wouldn't it rather go down?　Because the world I was in didn't have as many blown up people as this world... well, there's Eden-san, but that person basically doesn't interfere in human life....

''Mr. Kaitkun!　Tell me, how can I get my request fulfilled!
Well, uh ... write your wishes on a strip of paper and put it on a bamboo branch...

　What do I do?　I can't bear to ruin Raz's dream by saying something bad, and that doesn't mean I can't say my wish will come true irresponsibly.
　Is this how parents feel about explaining to their children who believe in Santa?

"Tanzak?　Sasa?　What is that?!
Well, the strips of paper are long and narrow and the bamboo branches are wood.
Well, I've never heard of that name but if you're not that sass, then you're not going to get your wish?
That's right. Yah, I knew it had to be a bamboo grass........certainty.......

　I've never seen bamboo grass in this world. This is a good way to muddle the waters, isn't it?　It's not a sure thing if it's not a bamboos, but you could say that other trees would work a little better.
　Then you can do it just to make it feel better, and Raz can experience the Tanabata. As for the wishes, if it's something I can manage, I'll just make them come true.

"There is a bamboo grass--what?　Why did you get hit by a-- meeeeeeeeeee?

　However, reality is ruthless.

'Wow!　Thank you, Phantom King!　Wow, now I can do Tanabata-san!
....

　We're screwed. I can't fool myself now.
　After giving Alice a resentful glance at Alice, who puts down her bamboo branch and disappears, I let out a big sigh and turn to Raz-san.

''Shall we have........Tanabata?''
Yes, sir!

　Oh, a big smile.






　It didn't take much time, as all I had to do was prepare the strips of paper once I had the bamboos.
　Raz-san, looking as happy as ever, excitedly writes wishes on the strips of paper and ties them to the bamboo branch just as I taught him.

''So now your wish will come true!　I'm so happy for you!
Mr. Laz.
What is it?
'Actually, I have a cake that Sita made for me, would you like to join me?'
'Cake, sir!　I want to eat!
Well, why don't you go inside and I'll put my bamboo branch in its proper place.
Yes?

　I don't doubt my words at all and cheerfully raise my hand before walking into the house to see Raz-san off... still!
　I quickly reach for Raz-san's strip of paper tied to the bamboo branch and check its contents. Please, please let it be a simple wish.....

　I mean, it's a little bit small!　No, no, well, considering Raz's size, I guess this is what I'm talking about.　If you can get your face close enough, you can read it somehow.......

''I want to be good friends with Kite Kun-san for a long time!

　....What?　Huh?　What is this surprise....?　Is this what you wish for, Raz?

　As I froze in stunned silence when I saw the wish written in small letters... I guess it bothered him that I wasn't coming, Raz-san came out of the house and approached us.

''Kite Kun-san?　What's going on?
"...Mr. Raz ...um, can I just have you be a normal human size?
Huh?　Okay?

　Hearing my mumbled announcement, Raz-san listens to my words and obeys it, even though she tilts her head.
　Raz-san's body is enveloped in light and changes to the size of a human child.

''Raz-san!　Excuse me, let me give you one hug!
'What?　Or is it Mr. Kite Cun?　What's the matter?　Ugh, I'm glad to hear that but the sun is still out!

　Raz-san was so cute that I couldn't resist and hugged her little body as hard as I could.
　Laz-san sounded puzzled by my sudden action, but still, she didn't resist.

　I enjoy Raz-san's warmth and the scent of the flowers for a little while as it is, and then I let go of her hand.

''........Kite Kun-san?''
Oh, uh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... You startled me, didn't you?
'Yes, sir. I was surprised........but Raz was happy to have Kaitkun squeezing me!
....
'Wow!　Again?　Kye, today, Mr. Kaitkun is very aggressive.....

　What a cute little creature........

　I'm pretty sure that this boiling love is thanks to seeing Raz-san's wish. At least what she wished for me to fulfill......................I'm sure I can fulfill it without having to wish to the heavens.
