”H-hey, why isn't the big brother Rudel here? This is too aard, and I have no idea what to talk about”
Aleist translated the atmosphere into words, but everyone only averted their eyes without offering any salvation Everyone around had co Rudel would be there They had never even considered it ht come to this

”You're late, Rudel!”
On Luecke's voice, Rudel scratched his head and apologized
”S-sorry I never thought he'd be going off without a stop at our house I realized he ry on his way to the border, so Ihall”

Noon cae stopped for a break, Chlust opened the basket and took out a sandwich There was also a sside misshapen sandwiches and some of tidy shape
”H-hmm These misshapen ones are definitely the ones my brother made”
Chlust said as he bit into one
”H-how terrible… it's saltier than the salt of the earth”
Biting on in a trance, as Chlust washed it doith the green tea in the canteen, tears were flowing from his eyes
”Thank you… thank you, Rudel”
Weeping and eating, he made just a bit of a happy face as he recalled Rudel's words
”I'll survive, and next time I'll say thank you to your face… I'll definitely survive…”
