17 [Action for House 44 | Voice]

[miniaturization]

[Hello, House 44 and its surrounding areas, do you hear that cracking sound? Or is it more of a resounding crash? Because a small Japanese man just fell through your roof screaming bloody murder, and now he's rolled down the stairs and is sitting, dazed, in the living room.]

......Oh, I'm intruding.

....I should...go now....

[And despite having fallen two stories, he tries to get back up and leave.]

[Voice: late evening]

It would seem I am back now. Thank you to whomever looked after Pochi-kun.

.....Ah...If I may inquire as to the well-being of the village? I fear I've been gone for some time...

Welcome back, Honda-san.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

Hello, Kouki-kun. And thank you.

...

And happy new year. It would seem I missed it?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Yes, you did. Happy new year.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

I missed it.....

Ah, I hope it was a good new years celebration at least?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Yes, it was. Fortunately, the celebration went off without that much trouble.

[No experiments, man. Woohoo.]

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

That is good to hear. The holidays tend to invite the Malnossos'...

...

Particular brand of celebrations.

...

[That's the nicest he can be about them. orz]

May I ask if there is anything else of note that I may have missed?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

The New Feathers cycle started, so there's some new faces around the village.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

Ah...I wonder... Has anyone come in introducing themselves...under any strange names like mine?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Like yours? [You mean as a country?] None that I've heard, so far.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

...I see. Thank you. I will continue to listen for them, then, now that I am back.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

You're welcomed.

...Do you need any help?

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

...Help?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[That moment of 'shrug?'.] With anything?

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

...Ah, no, I think...I am fine. Thank you, though.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

No problem.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

...Ah...actually?

...Would you happen to know how to fix roofs?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Roofs? Er...no, I don't.

[No need to and even if he does, he would just send a demon.]

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

[Slightly disappointed sigh. He was hoping he could ask someone since he has no idea what to do.]

It is alright, thank you. Perhaps I can find what I need at the library or by asking others. I'm sure someone here must know how to fix a roof after someone has put a hole through it.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Chances are, there's probably someone around the village that knows how.

[This many people and Malnosso's tendencies...]

But if there isn't, then the library's a good option.

[Voice]

[miniaturization]

Ah, thank you. I shall be sure to check there then when the snow lets up some.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

You're welcomed, Honda-san.
