As time passed, Kotaro became more and more uncomfortable.

"Brother Lake, how long are we going to wait here?" Glancing at Lake, who was still staring into the distance, Kotaro finally couldn't help but ask Lake.

Lake looked down at Kotaro, who was only chest-high, and didn't answer Kotaro's question directly, but just said lightly: "It's almost ......."

But for Lake's answer, Kotaro suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, just when Kotaro's heart was tormented, a voice that he least wanted to hear at this moment came from afar.

"Kotaro!" said a kind female voice with a hint of anger.

"Mom!" Hearing the call, Kotaro's heart suddenly trembled, and without thinking about it, he immediately turned around and ran away.

However, Lake, who had expected Kotaro to run away, reached out and grabbed Kotaro's back collar at the moment Kotaro turned around, and pulled Kotaro who wanted to escape.

"Let go of me!" let Kotaro scream, but Lake was unmoved.

After a while, Kotaro's mother came to the two of them, and she greeted Lake in a kimono first.

"I'm Kotaro's mother, Tsukishiro Shimako. The woman greeted Lake, "We're sorry for the trouble caused by Kotaro." ”

However, Lake, who doesn't know much about the etiquette of the earth, said to Tsukijo Island very casually: "Remember to take care of him next time, just don't let him run around." ”

With that, Lake carried Kotaro in front of Tsukishiro Island, "Then, I'll take my leave first." ”

With that, Lake turned and walked in the direction of the galleon, fearing that if he stayed for a second longer, there would be an accident.

"Lake, is this really good?" "Kirby looked back at Kotaro who was full of grievances, and finally couldn't help but ask Lake.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's all for his good. Lake didn't look back, he was worried that he would change his mind because he couldn't bear to see Kotaro now.

Kirby was silent, and without saying a word, he followed Lake's steps towards the Howe Speed......

"Alright, Kotaro, let's go back. Seeing Lake and Kirby go away, Tsukishiro Shimako said to Kotaro standing in front of him, "Don't think about going to Tatara Island anymore!"

Listening to his mother's words, Kotaro couldn't control the tears rolling in his eyes anymore, and ran down his cheeks, shouting at Tsukishiro Shimako, "Why can't you understand me!"

After saying that, Kotaro immediately shook off the hand that Tsukishiro Shimako was holding on to him, and then ran into the distance.

"Kotaro!" Tsukishiro Shimako tried to catch up, but fell to the ground due to the inconvenience of wearing a kimono, and finally could only watch Kotaro gradually disappear from her sight.

At this moment, a hand reached out in front of Tsukishiro Island, who fell.

"Are you alright? Eventually, Lake turned back.

"It's okay," Tsukijo Shimako, who was helped up by Lake, immediately thanked Lake, and then looked worriedly in the direction where Kotaro left, "It's just Kotaro who ......"

"Kirby, catch up. Lake had no choice but to say to Kirby, and at the same time couldn't help but complain in his heart, what a troublesome little ghost!

"I'll take him straight home when I find him, so you can go back first. "Anyway, Kotaro already knows that he is going to send him home, so there is no need to wait here, and after Lake finished speaking to Tsukishiro Shimako, he chased in the direction of Kirby in the sky......

Under Kirby's guidance, Lake came to the embankment by the river, and looked at Kotaro who was silent, who was repeatedly picking up stones and throwing them into the river on the river beach.

One person and one bird stayed behind Kotaro like this, quietly letting Kotaro vent the resentment in his heart.

It wasn't until the sun was setting and the setting sun was staining the water red, that Kotaro, who didn't have the strength to throw stones again, suddenly sat down on the rocks at his feet and hugged his head and cried.

Feeling that the time was about the same, Lake walked up to Kotaro's side, but instead of speaking, he picked up a flat stone on the river beach.

With a flick of Lake's hand, the stone leaped across the sparkling water, jumping over a full half river before stopping and sinking into the water.

The sudden sound of water caused Kotaro to reveal his buried face and look towards the source of the sound.

Ignoring Kotaro's gaze, Lake bent down to pick up a stone shard, and then flung it towards the center of the river, and the stone shard sank into the water after causing a ripple.

As the stone flakes fell into the water, Lake immediately searched for a new stone suitable for swimming......

He and Kirby didn't open their mouths to comfort Kotaro very tacitly, or in his heart, he hoped that Kotaro would cheer himself up......

Suddenly, the roles of the two sides were reversed, from Lake watching Kotaro venting his emotions to Kotaro watching Lake play in the water......

"Now, Brother Lake, don't you hate me very much?" Finally, Kotaro, who was a teenager, still couldn't stand this atmosphere, and took the lead in asking Lake, who was still drifting.

"That's right," Lake didn't even need to look at the glimmer of expectation in Kotaro's heart, so he immediately echoed Kotaro's words while snorting, "I just hate you for being a little ghost who always causes trouble." ”

"Why am I causing trouble for people!" Kotaro suddenly stood up from the stone and retorted to Lake's statement!

"Am I wrong!" Lake stopped the stone he was about to throw, glanced at the angry Kotaro and began to say, "The first time I saw you, you took the Dream Man hostage so that I couldn't fight! Then, you started yelling to stay on the ship! After I took you back to the surface, you sneaked back back! And followed you to the moon, and almost lost your life! Now, I took you back to your mother, but you ran out on your own, and I had to come to you!"

"You say it's not a nuisance!" and Lake threw the stone out of his hand......

Kotaro was silent, not knowing for a moment how to refute Lake's words, repeating constantly: "I just...... I just ......"

"Okay, I'm done venting my emotions, it's time to go back, don't worry my mother anymore!" Seeing this, Lake, who felt that it was about the same time, asked Kotaro to go home.

Regardless of whether Kotaro agreed or not, he clapped his hands and slapped the dust off, and then walked towards the embankment......
