In front of Chario, Eryl was at a loss for an answer with a troubled look on his face. Her question was too straightforward.
It was abrupt. After the meal, Eryl was about to return to her room when Chario approached her.
"Do you have a minute?"
"What?"
What did you want to ask me earlier?
"It's ......."
"He said if I didn't understand something, I could ask. Why don't you just ask? Why don't you ask?"
"Uh-uh, uh-uh."
Licorette approached Eril, who was puzzled, with a worried look on her face.
"What is it, Eril?"
"...... nothing, nothing."
"I thought you wanted to ask me something."
"...... is fine, sir."
Chario and Licorette involuntarily exchange glances. Then he heard Linos' voice.
"Eril, it's okay. I'm sorry, but I need your help getting Falco dressed.
She nodded her head and left the dining room, running with a flurry of footsteps.
"Mato, I'm sorry."
"Okay."
Matocal stands up as if urged by Linos. In his arms was a small boy.
"What the hell was that?
"Yeah?"
Linos' expression turned into a scowl at Chario's words.
"Why did you apologize to him? Did you do something wrong?"
"No, it's not that."
Unable to swallow Linos' words at all, Chario nodded his head.
"I asked Matkal to take care of Eryl."
"What?"
"I think Eryl had something he wanted to ask. But he couldn't tell Rico or me. But I think it would be easier for him to tell Mato. That's why I asked him."
"You never said you were asking me to do something."
That's where the "A-Un" comes in.
"Aunokokyu?"
Linos is scratching his cheek with a troubled expression on his face.
"In other words, when the relationship deepens, you will naturally know what you want to say."
"Hmm?"
"Don't you black dragons have something like ...... to sense the other person? For example, you seem to be in a bad mood, or you seem to be in poor health."
"I can tell you're in a bad mood. Because you're angry."
"No, that's not what I meant. ......"
Linos folded his arms and looked up to the heavens. Lycorette, looking at him sideways, opens her mouth.
"You black dragons may not understand. But in our human world, the more we live together, the more we can understand what others are thinking, not by words, but by moods and sensations.
"Huh?"
"It's hard to put into words, but ....... When you don't know someone, you have to explain everything, but when you get to know them well, you begin to understand each other somehow. For example, if I tell you to ...... take that one, you don't know what I'm talking about, do you? But if you live together for a long time, you will know what it is. Have you ever had that experience with other people of your own species?"
"With skill, you can usually tell."
You don't need skills.
Chario could not believe that he could understand his opponent without using his skills. But in front of his eyes, Linos was actually watching Erile and giving instructions to Matkal. Later, Shario was taught that this was what it meant to "guess. From that time on, she began to focus on sensing her partner.
Meanwhile, Licolette, Eryl's mother, wonders with a touch of sadness what her daughter wanted to hear and why she had not told her about it.
At the same time, in Matocal's room, Eryl and Matocal were having a short conversation.
"Is your skill high, Shario-chan?"
"Yeah."
"How much?"
"Probably more than Ferris."
"...... got it."
Eryl is changing Falco's diaper with a practiced hand.
"Thank you, that's great."
"Hmm."
Matkal was the easiest person for Eril to talk to. A mother who did not say much. That was the most comfortable thing for her.
Ever since she could remember, she had developed a keen sensitivity. This enabled her to read the thoughts and feelings of others with great sensitivity. Moreover, she had a brilliant mind and was what is called a woman who could . Therefore, she could understand what the other person was trying to say after listening to what he had to say.
However, because of her superior skills, she was not very good with her birth mother, Licorette. Mom--Licolette, when she hears one thing, tries to give her all the information. It was painful for her. --She said, "You don't have to tell me that much, I know.
For example, the "chopsticks" that my father, Linos, brought with him. Lycoretto and Matkal explain the use of chopsticks very differently.
In the case of Lycoretto, he begins by explaining how to use chopsticks, and then goes on to explain the meaning of using them and how to use them well....... And for young children, he takes the trouble to put them on his lap and teach them how to use them by taking their hands in his. This was done to all the children, including Eril, and Rico's way of teaching manners, so to speak, was becoming a specialty of the family.
She was patient. She would take the child on her lap and continue to teach her, taking her hand, over and over again, until she was able to do so. She would then praise him with a big smile when he could do it. This approach was very touching for the rather clumsy children - Idea and Piatrice. Also, when they played with food utensils such as forks and chopsticks, or did something naughty with them - mostly Alyria would do it - they would be made to sit on Mama's lap and be told to do it again, this time with a big smile. I can teach you how to use it. However, Eryl, who is naturally dexterous, was able to learn how to use it to some extent before he got on his mother's lap. She did not need any instruction; all she needed was to point out what was wrong and how she could improve it.
In the case of Matocal, on the other hand, she first shows how to use it and then lets the other person use it. If it does not work, he tells you in a simple way what you should do to make it work.
Licourette's explanations are not only long but also to the point and easy to understand for those who receive them. However, for Eril, he could grasp the contents of the explanations before listening to half of them, and the rest of the explanations were simply a confirmation of what he thought. . It was safe to say that the young girl did not yet have the skills to handle it well in her mind. It would be a long time before she would realize that her mother, Licorette, was acting out of deep love.
Nevertheless, Licorette's polite way of speaking was well received by the other children. In particular, her younger brothers Idea and Piatrice listened to their mother's stories with great interest. To them, Licolette was an indispensable and kind mother who explained things very carefully.
A few moments later, Chario was stopped by Matocal.
Matocal was dressed in his usual armor and wearing his sword. She stopped in front of him just before she was about to leave for work in Agartha.
"Teach Eryl some things," she said.
"What?"
With that, Matkal strode out of the house.
......Tell me what?
Chario looks puzzled. This, however, was the beginning of a fast friendship between Shario and Eryl, and the two would become great friends. ....... Such a future was something that no one had even imagined.
