The plane flew for more than eight hours before reaching its destination. www.biquge.info At this moment, Yulia was timidly holding the lever of her suitcase, looking at the back of Airi's head, who was sitting in the front row of the taxi.

From the moment on, Airi had been talking to the driver in a language he didn't understand at all. And for Yuria, it is still a little scary to suddenly come to such an unfamiliar place.

While on the plane, Airi had already told Yulia about the details that needed to be paid attention to. Still, having said that, Yulia felt timid when the plane landed in the midst of such foreigners, who were surrounded by blondes and blue eyes. Although, his hair color is obviously more out of place in East Asia than here.

After taking a taxi for more than an hour, the two got off in a rather remote place. By the way, it was clear that the driver was a man, but when he finally charged and happened to look back at Yuria, he still showed a dull gaze.

Hey...... I'm supposed to be a man now, right?

"Hmm...... Here we are, Yuria. This town is. Follow me for a while. ”

Not...... Isn't it a bit imposing to be Airi's (pseudo)boyfriend, especially since there have been many times along the way when she meets people who look like Ari is an acquaintance, and Airi often stops to smile and greet the men and women who pass by. If you just walk behind her back like this, it will also hurt Airi, right?

However, Yulia didn't have much time to worry about it.

After about twenty minutes of walking in what was apparently a small township, Airi stopped. Not...... I see, it really looks like an extraordinary place.

The surrounding residences are all of a similar design. The entrance is a small courtyard, a simple gate, and a building height of no more than two stories.

"Uh...... Let's prepare a little. I don't know if grandma is in it, but I haven't been to this house in a long time. Everyone seems to be deliberately avoiding mentioning grandma to me......"

Airi sighed, and after putting her suitcase aside, she pulled out a bunch of keys and opened the door to the house.

"Hmm......"

Yuria's first reaction was that there was no one in Limen at all.

It was already morning, but it was dark inside. Not only that, but it was too quiet.

Airi shouted something to the black hole, but there was no response.

“...... It doesn't seem to be there. Yuria, let's put our luggage in the house first, you wait here for a while, I'll go and ask someone I know nearby. ”

She didn't even say a second word, and left in a hurry.

I hope nothing happens to my grandmother...... Yulia glanced again into the black hole house.

Since the curtains are all drawn, it is almost impossible to see the situation inside. However, it seems that this small house only has one floor, and there seems to be no furniture in it.

In a word...... Yulia still dragged her and Airi's luggage to the door of the room and put them down. After checking it out, Yulia carefully reclosed the door.

Yulia didn't wait too long, and Airi returned. Look at her expression...... Nothing particularly serious seems to have happened.

"My aunt from the shop next door told me that my grandmother is now in the hospital in the city...... I'm sorry, but can you come with me? After all, you're here to see grandma. ”

"Well, of course. ”

Fortunately, it was not too late, and due to the time difference, the two arrived here very early. Even now, it's still morning.

――――

Getting out of this extraordinarily peaceful town is a lot more troublesome than coming in. Anyway, Yulia and Airi arrived at the hospital before noon.

It feels like I've been in this state of running around since the plane landed...... However, Yulia is also a little concerned about what Airi's grandmother will be like.

"Well, yes. This side, on the third floor. ”

Airi whispered a note in her hand as she led Yulia through the potion-smelling hospital stairs.

"Whew. ”

The two of them finally went up to the third floor, but Airi suddenly stopped and looked at Yulia carefully.

"What's wrong......

"No...... To be honest, even if you're dressed like that now, I still think you look like a girl...... Is it because I am used to seeing it? ”

“......”

"Well, but I can't help it. It's impossible to find a real girl to disguise a man, no matter how you think about it, you're the best candidate. ...... Here. ”

She held out a right hand.

“......？”

"Really, really, aren't you nervous? At least hold my hand, right?"

"Ah...... Oh, thanks ......"

To be honest, Yulia was a little nervous. After all, it was Airi's grandmother who was going to meet...... Although Airi is at least ten times softer now than she used to be, that doesn't mean her other side will fade. And as Airi's grandmother, what exactly ......

"Hey, if you're thinking about rudeness, I'm not going to spare you? ”

"I'm sorry. ”

“...... Hum. Let's go. I don't want to delay for a moment. ”

Her warm palm wrapped around Yuria's hand, and the two of them moved together in the seemingly peaceful third-floor hallway. Finally, in front of one of the wards inside, Airi stopped.

"Ha~~~Huh~~~"

She unconsciously increased the force of her grip on Yuria's hand.

It was a few seconds before she made up her mind to push open the door to the room.

-- But nothing particularly shocking happened.

Airi just pushed the door open, and after saying a few words in surprise that Yulia didn't understand, she pulled Yuria to the hospital bed next to the door.

There are three beds in the large ward. On the hospital bed near the door, there was a ...... An unexpectedly ordinary granny.

Well...... It's not as fierce as I imagined before, no matter how you look at it, it's just a grandmother who has been weathered by the years.

“~~~？~~~！”

“~~~~~~”

Ahhhh......h It's embarrassing.

Yulia didn't dare to look carefully at the grandmother on the hospital bed at such a time, so she could only keep her hair down. Not...... If only I could learn a few more foreign languages......

After standing quietly for a while, Airi suddenly moved away from the old woman, and at the same time, the old woman on the hospital bed turned her eyes to Yuria.

Even if she didn't know the language, Yulia understood that it was her turn.

However, the old grandmother in front of her smiled kindly...... I feel like I can get along well even if I don't understand the language. (To be continued.) )
