Singing Lady Bird

Chapter 20

Iris never sleeps. And Fulham too. After that, I broke up and crossed a quiet night in each room.

　When Iris fell asleep for a moment, the sky had already sunk into the darkness before dawn. He didn't know that, but Fulham's sleep was at its deepest. What is the delinquency of the awakened spirit without realizing it? Iris finally snatched her determination and fled the room with a bit of luggage.

　The forest around the temple, which was sacred to them and had an unbearably painful night, was wet by the morning dew and filled with a serenity reminiscent of trees and flowers still asleep. Every now and then the sleepy birds ring and the tops of the trees ring. Iris rushed through the forest, with her legs hesitating in the darkness. To port.

　When I got there, the sea was still rippling even tonight, and it seemed like I was waiting for dawn to come. But Iris pursed her lips so that the morning had not yet come. As far as possible. Before he wakes up.

　I can't lose her again. He had started and Iris had to give an answer. Iris herself refused a clear answer.

　Because I can't live if I lose it again. First two, then three. Iris gained a moment of peace, even in the form of a sword. Think of the days here when birds rest their wings. He thought he would believe that if he continued to fly and rest somewhere, he would definitely reach where his mother went. Hope for peace, but realize that there will never be a break in life to make that choice.

　Iris moved to a tethered boat that slightly moved up and down the waves. I looked at the steering wheel and looked around to make sure no one was there before turning the starter lock. I was worried that the machine, which gave off a tearing sound, might be in a bad mood for a moment, but it worked well. I'm glad I haven't driven a ship in a long time.

"Iris!"

　When I turned to the voice called out, I saw Neu running with a crying face. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the ship and pressed his face against his chest.

"You can stay"

"I'll go with you"

　Even if I don't see my face, my feelings are conveyed with warmth. Thank you, Iris hugged Neu.

　With the danger that Fulham and her comrades would pull her off the wheel, the ship slips into the fearsome sea of Tui. Dangerous voyages should not last long. It would reach the continent in ten minutes. Not only was it dangerous, but I couldn't turn the island upside down, and Iris' chest was squeezed by something moving away from the back. The tension makes your fingertips stiff and exhales deeply.

　Now back on the ground, Iris leaves Tui with everything she deserves from her home. You can go anywhere. I wish I could get on the fastest plane when I arrive at the airport. Then Fulham will not be able to follow him unless he is a man of strength...

　The boat arrived on land while making some unstable detours. I was reprimanded, but the ship was moored properly. Fulham will see the absence of Iris in no time. The pier is not far from the villa. Pulling Noi's hand, she quickly walked over to her house.

　At the resting place where dawn had not yet turned, the lights at the entrance that signified the residence of its inhabitants appeared cold. The air looks a bit white. Maybe because dawn is coming soon. Our house, which was drowning in darkness, seems to have stopped time more than that. I thought I was dead, and realized that I had followed the same thought before, but it suddenly popped into my mind and spread out.

　The unlocked hands stopped. Something is strange.

　A horn sounded on Iris' head, while the sense of mission swelled. This is his home, the home he inherited from his beloved Tiffany.

　Opening the door and stepping into the house, he felt an unfamiliar smell from the living room in the darkness. Alcohol and smoke smell. I need to turn on the lights immediately. If you don't know what's going on. As I reached for the switch, it was blocked by my wet hand.
