I Canonaki Swim

Reflections on the beach, bachabacha

waves

A 180 degree turn froranted salvation Master’s peace was protected by Meia-sama’s efforts All Nanaki did was to cause a probleht have been affected by the atmosphere This is a failure as a servant

humans cant be perfect~

Drawn by the chill on h the water surface into the lake floor It was like it representedSo I kicked it But the disrupted water surface eventually calmed down and like a mirror, reflected Nanaki’s face A horrible face

…

Dejected nanakismile Everyone around the world, it’s the foolish Nanaki

saying cheer up…would be irresponsible right

I tried forcing a so, what a horrible s like this A s that syood Recall the s Mother who understood her re life,her smile shouldn’t have had any shadow In order to not worry Nanaki

…why did things suddenly get heavy

By now it’s already a nostalgic love

…

Since I recalled such a wonderful thing, I think I will face forward I was encouraged by Mother again Such a simple me is just cute I failed, so what, I can just recover I ahter of beloved Mother and a special hu

yep

I’m fine now, I raised my head

everything will be alright~

“Nana-saan!”

……It took just a little while to recognise shi+el-sama

…rude

That figure that swaed Nanaki’s memory Yes, that was a book I borrowed fro that used to live in the ocean that huer swim inIf Nanaki’s memory and that old picture was correct, I think its name was sea lion

…at least no a whale

I waved back at shi+el-sa this way Wavewave In contrast to that appearance, shi+el-saraceful, just like a mermaid of the lake To Nanaki who can’t swim, that looked very beautiful Well, there is just a little h

its blubber

shi+el-sa can swim That truth is sufficient for Nanaki to have doubts

Although according to Mother’s instructions, Nanaki has never stepped into water deeper than what ht be able to swi has to do with reflexes Then, I don’t think it is i that I a it even once weakness?

err…maybe?

That is one thing that Nanaki hates I must server off this depression Make the truth clear, and prove your pride, Nanaki Accepting defeat without challenging it even once is unforgivable

yesyes cheer up

“……”

life is for new experiences

Resolution set

ready?

Advance forward cautiously There is no such thing as excess caution That beloved Mother told Nanaki about it because it concerned my life Slowly, slowly advance forward Stop once at when I reach the point where the chilly feeling reached around my waist Deep breath

set?

Now then, to the unknoorld

go!

“……uah”

keep your mouth shut underwater

I let outfro

ah just floating…okay

Unlike the sky where I can fly as I like, this gravity that slowly tries to sinkmy head above the water was all I could do, this is really not so that can be enjoyed I have reconfirmed that humans are really terrestrial creatures Let’s hurry and return

nono dont ive up

“Nanaki also came to swim?”

yesyes

Get out of the way, my master

no

When I tried to return to , ohNanaki’s retreat Wait wait, calerous

yes, keep calm~

“Yes But I am just about to retur——”

“You haven’t swaht? Come here”

gogo zean

Unusually, s show on his face I was stunned by that somewhat innocent smile that the fundamentally always expressionless master revealed He also makes this kind of expressions Because of that, I was slow to realise my hand was taken

master used charm

“Wa, wapu——”

“Nana——-”

it was super effective!
