Narumi Yu just stood below and waited, waiting until Shiina Mio urged him to shout before ascending the indoor stairs to the second floor.

"Yu-san, wait outside......" The flush on the girl's face had not completely dissipated, and she stood in front of her bedroom door, opening a gap that was big enough for her to get into, and then left Narumi Yu outside.

Soon, there was the sound of cleaning up in the door, the clanging of paint jars against the table and floor, and the dull fluttering of clothes on the bed, which did not stop until ten minutes had passed.

"You can go in." When Shiina Miyo said this, Narumi Yu pushed the door and saw a bedroom that was almost as clean and tidy as the other girls.

In fact, except for Shiina Weiyang and Yayoi Akiha, he hasn't been into other girls' bedrooms, this

The standard of "almost" depends on his own subjective impression of girls. In fact, the bedrooms of Shiina Miyo and Yayoi Akihaya are not considered in their normal form

"Neat and tidy".

"The watercolors of Kawakami's mother-in-law and Taro Jiro have dried." Shiina Miyo carefully held the painting.

Both the colors and the lines are quite detailed. Although Shiina Weiyang herself said that she would draw every picture carefully.

But this one is obviously more delicate than the one I saw in the art department.

If that painting is very serious, this one is 100 percent serious. Kawakami's mother-in-law, who is in a slumber shape, squats in front of a kennel made of baskets and pillows in the park, protecting the two Shiba Inu in the kennel.

There was a bit of love on his face. The background of the park has been weakened considerably, leaving only a few holly trees close to the kennels, sprinkled with half-shaded greenery.

"What is the wish for this painting?" Narumi Yu looked at the old man in the painting, and asked Shiina Weiyang while thinking.

If he had conceived it instead, it would have been painted on a rainy day, with the old man crouching down and hitting his umbrella on top of the two Shiba Inu, which had been drenched a lot, exposing himself to the rain.

That is, the scene described to them by Kawakami's mother-in-law was drawn as it was. Such compositions are more resonant with people and can inspire more sympathy in the hearts of the audience.

But Shiina spent a week completing the painting, and the ultimate goal was certainly not for others to see.

In this painting, there is a beautiful expectation of a kind-hearted girl.

"Mother-in-law Kawakami and Jiro Taro can be happy." The girl said softly,

"Kawakami's mother-in-law knew that Taro Jiro had passed away, so if she just painted the scene when they met, it would probably ...... It will only make Kawakami's mother-in-law feel sorry and miss. ”

"So, I drew the current Kawakami mother-in-law, replaced the rainy day with a sunny day, and replaced the cardboard box with the nest she made by her own hand at Kawakami's mother-in-law's house."

"Probably...... I want to express my feelings to Kawakami's mother-in-law...... 'You have taken good care of Taro Jiro...... ”

"......" Maybe this is the gap between him and Shiina Weiyang,

"Mother-in-law Kawakami, she must be able to feel this heart."

"Well...... according to the plan that the two had agreed before, the two of them lay down on the bed together like the painting they held last time, but nothing happened.

"Could it be because Taro and Jiro are still in the original painting?"

"Perhaps...... It's possible. The girl got out of bed and took out the painting on the desk. This time the two managed to get into the painting.

The park is not only full of amusement facilities, but also decorations such as Christmas day lights on the trees, and Taro Jiro wearily snuggles up in the shade below the slide.

After seeing them, he finally felt a little more energetic, wagged his tail pitifully, and sent out

The wail of "woo".

"Yunishi Yunishi ~ Taro Jiro is good ~ soon...... Soon you will be able to meet Kawakami's mother-in-law......" The first half of the girl's sentence is just like a mother's tone coaxing a child, gentle and warm; The second half of the sentence gradually took on some sadness, and even at the end of the voice, Narumi heard the girl's trembling sigh as if out of nowhere.

Shiba Inu generally has a lifespan of about 10 to 12 years, and being able to live to a full thirteen years old under the care of Kawakami's mother-in-law, Taro Jiro is already a fairly long-lived small and medium-sized dog.

"Wang~!" hearing

With the words "Kawakami's mother-in-law", the two Shiba Inu stood up happily, rubbing around Shiina Mio's calf, and excitedly doing various movements.

Narumi Yuya walked over, squatted beside Shiina Miyo, and learned the girl to talk to Taro Jiro.

"After meeting Kawakami's mother-in-law, you can sleep in peace......"

"Wow~Wow~!" He doesn't have this item in his skill bar, so he can't tell what the Shiba Inu's barking means.

But from the analysis of body language, I probably agreed.

"Yusang......" Shiina Weiyang pulled the corner of his clothes, only called his name, and didn't say a word.

"It's okay, as long as it exists in this world, it will gradually disappear in the colossal time, and that's all we can do, isn't it?"

"But ......"

"Not only living creatures, but also stones washed by rivers will gradually wear away; The sun will eventually emit all its rays, and the earth will become silent and cold with it; Although it is only a hypothesis and prediction, the universe will eventually become nothing......"

"Nothing lasts forever, and if there were no gods in the world, everything would eventually dissipate."

The girl ......stood behind Narumi and put her arms on his shoulders from behind, holding them quietly like this.

I don't know how long later, there was a trembling murmur of a girl,

"Then it would be nice if the gods existed. My paintings, the world in them, the emotions and aspirations they carry...... If the gods didn't exist, how could these incredible things happen......"

"However, Shiina-san's paintings, after fulfilling the wish, will also disappear......" Narumi Yu didn't take into account the girl's emotions about to burst the embankment, and said calmly and without emotion the fact that the girl didn't want to accept.

Just like Imadegawa Chisaka can

"Heal the wounds" like a white mist...... If there were gods in this world, it would not be like what people would expect, and they would be able to respond to their various wishes by making a wish.

It must have been an emotionless god, colder than Hokkaido after heavy snowfall in winter.

It is only after listening to their unrealistic wishes that they will use the power of the gods to make them realize the fact that their wishes cannot be fulfilled.

"......" Shiina Mio's body was completely close to his back, in his ear,

"I don't need you to say it......" with a crying voice,

"I know ......!".
