“Is the name of the store read as Kaira?”
“Ca ira.”
The owner explained it in a native-speaking pronunciation.
“Sai ra… Sai ra.” Ayumu muttered the words as if rolling chocolate in her mouth.
“It means ‘it’s okay’, ‘it’ll work out somehow’, ‘it’ll be fine’ in French.”
Ayumu's eyes grew hot without her knowing it.
My nose started to itch, and then a warm liquid ran down my cheek.
As the tears began to flow uncontrollably, there was no way to stop them.
He gratefully accepted the crumpled handkerchief Yuga had handed him and wiped his face.
It wasn't that I couldn't hold back my tears because I was sad.
Because the store owner's words were exactly what Yuwa and herself needed right now.

“Ms. Chiyoko, I’m the type of person who believes a lot in things like fate and miracles.”
“Really? Me too.”
"but……."
“Surprise events aren’t that great.”
The two people shouted in unison.
Hahaha, I burst out laughing without realizing it.
Ms. Chiyoko used to be a private academy teacher, and she says that at the time, students would often pull pranks like surprise events.
One time, “I’m really perceptive.
But he once said, “It’s so hard to act surprised like you didn’t know anything.”


Nina didn't really like surprise events either.
I didn't like the way the person preparing seemed to subtly show self-satisfaction.
But I really like seeing other people's smiling faces.
If you can plot a plan secretly and pretend it was just a coincidence and see the other person happy, that's enough.
The New Year's Eve master never reveals his presence.

Suddenly, I remembered something Nina used to say out of habit.
I heard that chocolate is used appropriately in childcare, so I asked if Yuhan feeds it to him too, and he said that he gives it to him if he cleans up well.
Sae thinks it's still too early for children to eat chocolate.
I plan to not feed it to him at least until he starts elementary school.
I'm worried that I might get cavities.
As a child, Sae's parents did not take her to the dentist often.
There were times when I spent the night enduring the pain.
I never developed the habit of brushing my teeth thoroughly in the first place.
Even when I was young, I felt, knowingly or unknowingly, that my parents were neglecting my child-rearing, but in reality, it was almost like neglect.
It wasn't until I became an adult that I realized that.
My husband has no idea what it feels like to sneak out and eat chocolate.
“There is a chocolate that sparkles like a jewel.”
I don't know when, but it seems like Yuga had hinted at this to Yoriko.
With the words that it comes in a shiny, pretty box.

“I’m Mr. Gana.”
Yoriko tugged at the hem of the teacher's apron.
“Yeah, why?”
Mr. Gana squatted down and answered with wide eyes.
The pearls that were stuck to my eyelashes were so pretty and sparkly.
“What is self-satisfaction?”
“Haha, where did you hear that?”
Adults don't always give straight answers.
I always ask back why you ask such a thing.

“Please tell me.
yes?"
I asked again.
Yoriko knew very well that adults were weak when it came to the requests of children.
“Self-satisfaction means satisfying only yourself.”
“Hmm.”
I thought I knew what it meant.
Mom was satisfied.
It means that he is satisfied with protecting Yoriko from cavities and tying her hair up nicely.
This is really good, thought Yoriko.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“Well, sometimes I say it in a bad way.”
Mr. Gana answered vaguely.

“Hmm.”
As expected, adults don't know even though they know.

“Give it to the person you want to wish the most happiness to.”
There is no one I want to wish happiness to… … .
“Oh my, I see. Looking at your expression, I can tell you’re not feeling well.”
"that's right."
“You also have to know how to please yourself.”
Nanami couldn't find the words to respond.
“Listen carefully.
Put this chocolate in your mouth and say this.
'It's okay, it'll work out somehow.
“It’ll be okay.”
I found myself laughing without realizing it.
"that's right.
That face.
“That’s good.”
“Can I eat it?”
“Of course.
Because I am also included in the list of people I want to wish happiness to.
“Recharge your energy with some chocolate.”
Nanami left the store with the kind owner's encouragement.
As soon as she got home, Nanami opened the box and put a piece of chocolate in her mouth.
"are you okay.
It'll work out somehow.
“It’ll be okay.”
As he said that, he put another piece in his mouth.
It was so delicious that I almost cried.
A refreshing taste.
I have to go buy it again.
good.
