Chapter 40: Mamoru-kun
Life in kindergarten was going well.
One day after that, I had been talking with Mamoru-kun from time to time, and we were getting along well.
While I was in math class, I saw a shadow crossing the sliding glass door on the yard side of the school.
"Sir, can I go to the bathroom?"
"Yes, that's fine, are you sure you're okay going by yourself?"
"Yes, I'm fine. It will take a while, but don't worry."
At times like this, trust is a powerful thing.
While pretending to listen to the class seriously, I explore the "second lacquer refinement," quickly completing the assignments given to me, and helping the children in need around me.
I am the only one among the toddlers who can speak properly with adults, and I have earned the immense trust of my teachers as a child who is not to be messed with.
