by fnovelpiaAfter passing through the large gate, we had to board the vehicle prepared in front of the gate.
If we were to just walk, the distance between the gate and the castle would have been considerable.
Although I’ve run around the castle before, this was my first time traveling by car.
I looked around through the window.
I couldn’t hide my disappointed expression.
Because it was my grandfather’s birthday, I expected there to be lots of flashy decorations inside the castle.
But it was ordinary.
It means that nothing has changed much since I came last time.
The car stopped right in front of the castle.
I opened the door right away and ran outside.
My grandfather’s castle, which I visited after a long time, was as majestic as ever.
Swish swish-
I turn my head here and there to look for my grandfather.
You were always there to greet us when we arrived, but I wonder where you went today.
“Amy. I don’t see Grandpa.”
“I’ll be waiting for you inside.”
I looked at the castle at Amy’s words.
Does the fact that you didn’t come out to greet us mean that you are very busy?
As I thought that, I quickly ran forward.
The servants standing in front of the main gate bowed their heads to me and opened the door for me.
I ran into the castle and looked around with my mouth open in a daze.
It was different.
It was different, too different.
The interior, which had previously had a quiet yet luxurious atmosphere, had been completely changed.
Amy, who arrived late, sighed at the sight.
“You changed it again, I see.”
Glamour.
The whole world was so sparkling that the word splendid was not enough to describe it.
The interior lighting, which had been slightly dark, was now brightly lit, giving it a new feel.
“Wow!”
I ran forward with my arms outstretched.
Woof! Woof!
That was when.
A familiar sound was heard from the large central staircase, and a white furry thing came rolling down the stairs.
“Choo choo!”
The big furry one was Chuchu.
Chuchu circled around me, spinning his tail like a propeller as if he was happy to see me.
bruise!
After greeting me, Chuchu gave a big greeting to the group standing behind him.
But he didn’t show his joy with his whole body like he did to me.
As expected, I thought Chuchu was the best.
“Chuchuya, where are grandpa and his friends?”
Woof woof!
Chuchu answered my question forcefully and stuck his large head between my legs.
I was startled by Chuchu’s sudden actions, but Chuchu’s head suddenly rose and pushed my body up behind him.
“Choo choo!”
Chuchu, who had me on his back, started running quickly.
Tadadak-
Amy and Shine’s figures become smaller and smaller as Chuchu climbs the stairs at incredible speed.
Chuchu, who was running quickly, dropped me off in front of my grandfather’s office.
“You mean there’s a grandfather here?”
bruise!
Chuchu, who had answered my question, rubbed his large head as if asking me to praise him.
To be honest, Chuchu’s behavior was bothersome to me.
The force from his large body causes his body to sway as if he is about to fall over.
After ruffling Chuchu’s hair, I opened the door to the office.
There was no need to knock.
Grandpa had told me to come by whenever I wanted, so it wasn’t rude at all.
“Grandpa!”
As I shouted loudly and entered, the old man who was drinking tea looked at me with a surprised expression.
I was about to naturally run to my grandfather, but I stopped moving.
It wasn’t just one person.
My grandfather was drinking tea with other grandfathers.
I quickly assessed the situation.
People drinking tea with grandfather.
Look at their expressions.
A face with a comfortable smile without any discomfort.
I wasn’t having any trouble with my grandfather at all.
That means they are my grandfather’s friends.
“Hello!”
Contrary to my thoughts that I should be polite, a powerful voice came out of my mouth.
I made a mistake.
A cold sweat runs down my back.
The gazes of people looking at me were full of surprise.
Woof woof!
Chuchu, who arrived late, sat down next to me.
The tail spins wildly like a propeller.
Chuchu’s gaze turns to his grandfather.
It seemed like his eyes were asking me to praise him for bringing me here.
The silence didn’t last long.
My grandfather naturally got up from his seat and opened his arms to me.
It was a gesture telling me to come and hug her.
I looked at the other grandfathers’ faces, then ran to my grandfather and hugged him.
“Come on in, Jeff.”
My grandfather looked at his friends while holding me in his arms.
For some reason, a victorious smile appeared on his face.
“Huh, huh… I’m jealous. Perman.”
I turned my head at the voice I heard behind me.
An old man sitting there was looking at Grandpa Ferman with envy.
Why are you jealous?
He tilts his head slightly at the incomprehensible reaction.
My grandfather tapped my head and then sat down.
My grandfather, who had me sit on his lap, even picked up the snack in front of him and fed it to me.
I would accept everything that was given to me, but I was starting to feel burdened by the gazes of those around me.
Well well-
The crispy cookies were delicious.
After eating the snacks for a while, I turned my head slightly and whispered in my grandfather’s ear.
“Are these your grandfather’s friends?”
“Friend? Yeah. Friend.”
“What are your names…?”
“There is no need to remember the names of the old people.”
I looked puzzled at my grandfather’s answer.
I was worried that the other grandfathers might get angry because I was swearing in front of my friends.
But they didn’t seem to care, as they pushed a plate of cookies in front of me.
“You’re eating deliciously. Do you like sweets?”
“Yes…”
I nodded, looking at Grandpa Ferman’s expression.
The first grandfather to push the plate towards me was an old man with a plump face.
Although his hair was white, his skin was firm.
It could be because he’s gained weight, but it looks to me like he’s been taking good care of himself.
I looked at the plate and thought.
Is this really okay to eat?
Judging by his size, he seemed like he would have to eat all of my snacks to maintain that appearance.
“Hmm. Perman, did we talk about this before? My grandson this time…”
“Not interested.”
Grandpa Ferman cut off his friend’s words with a single stroke.
The expression on the face of the wealthy grandfather became noticeably gloomy.
I quickly reached out and grabbed the cookie and swallowed it.
“Yeah. You said Jeff, right?”
This time, the generous grandfather spoke to me.
I nodded, observing the situation.
That was the moment.
My grandfather took me down from his arms and said to me.
“I’ll come by later. Go to your room and wait.”
Because it was an action that broke the flow, the plump old man who was talking to me couldn’t say anything.
“Huh?”
My mouth was full of candy so my pronunciation wasn’t clear.
As I stood there awkwardly, caressing my bulging cheeks, my grandfather reached out and pointed to the door.
At that gesture, Chuchu moved and started to push me with his large head.
So I was pushed out of the office by Chuchu.
Oh, there are still a lot of snacks left that I haven’t eaten yet…
The moment I glanced at the table with a regretful gaze, I could see that the gazes of the grandfathers sitting there were directed at me.
Eyes filled with regret.
It was as if I was looking at a cookie.
Chuchu, who had pushed me out the door, slammed the door shut nicely.
Could this guy be a transformed human?
It was a somewhat reasonable guess.
Chuchu was too smart to be considered a dog.
As I was sighing in regret in front of my office, I was able to spot a group approaching from the end of the hallway.
Amy and Lane, and Shine and Victor.
Chuchu and I ran straight towards it.
As I ran hard and stopped in front of Amy, Amy said.
“Did you go to see your grandfather?”
“Yes, but, but, grandpa is with his friends right now.”
“Friends? Are you here already?”
“Yes. But I asked for their names. My grandfather said, “You don’t need to remember the names of old people,” and didn’t tell me a single one.”
As I explained earnestly, imitating my grandfather’s tone of speech, Amy smiled faintly and hugged me.
“Yeah. What did Grandpa say?”
“Um. I told them to go to their room and wait. I guess they had something to talk about with their friends.”
“Really? And what else?”
Amy turned to me.
We head to our room prepared inside the castle.
I explained to Amy everything that had happened earlier.
It was really fun talking to Amy because she responded to even the smallest things I said.
After chatting like that for a while, we arrived in front of a large door.
It was Shine’s room and mine.
Amy dropped me off in the middle of the room.
“Just wait here quietly.”
“Where are you going?”
“Go see your grandfather.”
“But didn’t Grandpa tell you to wait here?”
When I looked up at Amy and said this, she smiled silently and patted my head.
“I have to go out for a bit because of work.”
“What’s going on?”
“Yeah.”
Amy left the room with Victor after saying those words.
A situation where only me and Shine Rain are left.
No, there were four including Chuchu.
As soon as Amy left the room, Chuchu jumped up on the large bed and started jumping around excitedly.
The soft bed looked nice.
“Jeff.”
“Huh?”
“Among the things you mentioned earlier, there was a grandfather who brought up the story of his grandson?”
“Yeah.”
I nodded to Shine’s question and went to sit on the sofa.
There was a grandfather who suddenly started talking about his grandson out of the blue.
I didn’t hear the full story because Grandpa Ferman cut it off in one breath.
“Are you not interested?”
“What? Interested? Me?”
I was surprised by Shine’s question and asked back.
How could you possibly be interested in a guy whose name you don’t know and whose face you don’t know?
Seeing the expression grandson there, I can see that the guy was a man.
I hated men.
“You’re a man. I hate you.”
Shine, who heard my answer, smiled with satisfaction and patted my head.
I don’t like the way people look at me like I’m looking at a great child.
I’ve been treating her like an older sister, but if you look at our birth dates, there’s not much of a difference…
difference…?
Oh, my.
I don’t remember.
She and I are twins.
Since they are the same age, it means they were born on the same day.
Since Shine is my older sister, it means she was born before me.
So how much earlier was she born than me?
While I was thinking about how different the times were between Shine and I when we were born, a bright red rubber ball suddenly flew in with a whoosh sound.
My body reacted naturally.
I move immediately and catch the ball flying towards my face.
I feel a soft, smooth texture and raise my head absentmindedly.
“Let’s play ball!”
It was Lane who threw the ball.
I looked down at the ball in my hand and thought.
It didn’t really matter when you were born.
The important thing was that Shine was my older sister, and I was her younger sister.
That’s enough.
I shook off the thoughts that were filling my head and answered forcefully.
“Okay!”
Playing ball was Shine and I’s favorite activity.
Even Chuchu liked playing ball.
I was so excited about playing ball for the first time in a long time that I threw the rubber ball I was holding with all my might.
Wheeze-
The rubber ball flew out of my hand and bounced around everywhere.
Shine immediately got up from her seat and took a stance.
She had the same expression as usual, but as expected, she liked playing ball, so her body moved first.
Shine jumped up from her spot and swung her legs.
The moment his outstretched leg hit the rubber ball, the ball flew out the window at incredible speed.
Clang!
The window shatters with a sharp noise.
The bright red rubber ball slipped through and disappeared outside.
Broken glass scatters across the floor.
Woof woof!
Chuchu barked as if he was in trouble, looking at the broken glass.
