He was looking curious, Teg-san

“I won’t go into too much detail cause it’s coet there

And it’s not on this continent”

“Not, on this continent?”

“Well…”

‘I see’ Teg-san looked sad

That’s no good, there’s no way you can show that face to everyone

“I’ll go make some supper”

“Ah, then I’ll just…”

“No, won’t you eat with me?”

It’s a little surprising

“This dish This dish was a dish that ht a cold

That’s why, it ht be better for there to be someone by my side”

Eating this dish alone, I would recall my memories and be lonely

Placing a pot on the portable stove, I start cooking

I had the ingredients as I thought this ht happen

What I made was Pot-au-feu

Myit was nutritious for colds

It was a pot-au-feu which was prepared a long, long tie, sausage alongside a consomme soup with potato

Ah, I missed this

Even now I don’t think it’s likely mine can beat my moms

Mom’s pot-au-feu was just that delicious

The finished pot-au-feu swapped positions with the plate in front of Teg-san

“Come on, let’s eat”

“Is this… sausage meat?”

“Yes, it goes ith this dish”

I took a scoop with the spoon and ate it

Ah, so warm

But, it still isn’t as good as moms

“It’s good I always thought that potatoes were just used to increase your fullness, su”

“It’s not just to ood for your body

The ones which have been soaked in taste, are special”

“Ain’t that… the truth”

“This was, so my mom made for me”

A feords ended co out

“Rather thansad…

After I entered this corp, everyone is nice But it’s tough, unable to meet with your family”

Ah, as I thought, I still had a cold

I was actually co like this

“All of us!”

Teg-san?

“All of us, are orphans Ganglabe, Riru, Cougar, Ahrius, me, everyone

But we think of each other as family

And in that is Shuri You are there too

That’s why, if you ever feel lonely, you can rely on us

Because we are a faether”

… I’

Even though we have only been together for just half a year, there were people willing to call me family

Tears fell

“Yes… thank you very much…”

“We will absolutely protect you Shuri

That’s why Shuri It’s fine if you come to our place

These delicious meals If we had parents, then I think this is what they would make

We are the ones who should be thanking you”

“Ok… ok…”

“It’s good This soup”

I’m happy

This me, was able to make a family

The next day,a cook

I received nice words from everyone in the corp

Like, I’lad

Or, Don’t catch a cold again

Or, I’ain

It was just like Teg-san said

This place was full of people who accepted me as their comrade, part of their family

Mom, Dad I probably won’t be able to return

But I’m happy over here

Don’t worry, and please live healthily, everyone over there

The snow stopped and I look up at the blue sky, I prayed for that thought to reach my family

Fro hi

Teg-san always had an at the place down

But actually he was an extreuy
