5. That is That

After that, Haruhiro went to the craftsmen’s town with Moguzo. They were going there to pick up the weapon, of course. Moguzo had apparently been thinking about going by himself, but ultimately he decided to wait for Haruhiro. They had gone to the workshop together in the first place, so he wanted to do the pickup together, too. The reasoning kind of made sense to him, and kind of didn’t, but it was very like Moguzo, and Haruhiro was kind of happy about that. It was like they weren’t just comrades, they were friends.

On top of that, there was a surprise waiting.

There was a familiar figure standing in front of the narrow road that led to Workshop Masukaze.

“Merry?!”

“Merry-san?!”

“Oh...” Merry looked their way, started to wave, and then stopped. She hung her head, but looked up again immediately. There was something resembling a smile, but it was awfully awkward.

She was acting shy.

When she showed an expression like that, Haruhiro didn’t know what to do. Moguzo was fidgeting, too.

Yeah, man. I know. I’m not sure what to do, either. I mean, it’s not a problem. But what is it?

Haruhiro’s heart was racing.

“Erm...”

No, this is no good.

If Haruhiro kept panicking, he’d make it awkward for Merry.

Work up the courage. Courage? No, I don’t really need courage. This isn’t a situation that requires that I be bold. I don’t think it is. It’s probably not. Probably.

“H-Huh? Wh-What’s up, Merry? I-Is this a coincidence? It’s... not, right...?”

“Yeah...” Merry brought a hand to her chest, taking a breath. “I thought you might be coming soon. To pick up the weapon. We came together, so I thought...”

Merry was saying something that kind of made sense to him, and kind of didn’t. But he got it. He did. It was that kind of thing. Haruhiro and Moguzo looked at one another. Right? You might wonder what exactly was right, but right now, Haruhiro and Moguzo definitely both thought “Right?” It was something Ranta probably wouldn’t get. This was something only he and Moguzo could both understand.

Moguzo wasn’t the proactive type. Neither was Haruhiro. He wasn’t outgoing like Kikkawa, and he couldn’t come out and say everything he thought. He couldn’t open up and become friends with just anyone. He wasn’t that kind of person.

And, probably, Merry—or at least the current Merry—was the same way. Despite that, she came.

She must have struggled with it. Though she managed to overcome indecision and come here, she still would have had to wait a long time. Maybe she even tried to turn back. But Merry still stayed. She waited all this time. —Right?

Seeing this sort of thing makes you pretty happy, huh?

“Ohhh, I see! I see. In that case... you could’ve come by the lodging house. Right, Moguzo?”

“Y-Yeah. Th-That’s right. Yeah.”

“...I considered it.” Merry’s voice was awfully tiny. It was as quiet as a mosquito’s. “—Sorry. I felt a little... hesitant to.”

“No need to apologize! Right, Moguzo?! She doesn’t have to apologize, right?!”

“R-Right! In fact, we should, because of
