I opened the window, placed my cushion nearby, and prepared to enjoy the weather.

...But she came over and disrupted my peaceful evening.

She always ruins my time of solitude.

"...You look pleased.

Oh, that's right. You ate lots of your favorite sweets today."

This girl loves sweets more than anything.

...I like them too, but I can't eat like she does. It'd give me heartburn if I ate the amount she ate today.

She seemed to be very happy, so I'll leave her alone for a while.

I'd been making my favorite hot and salty food for the past few days, so she must be quite pleased today.

It was a very fun day for me, too.

I just wanted to enjoy the memory of the excitement I felt today by sitting here quietly, enjoying the sunset.

But when I looked up at the sky, I saw some thick clouds forming there.

...The wind was a bit cooler than usual.

It might start raining soon.

"......People say that when deep-sea animals come up to the shallows

it's a sign of a big earthquake or a tsunami."

We saw a very rare fish that dwells in deep water in the shallows today.

Just as the ancient stories of sea monsters say, people hate deep-sea animals and tend to interpret them as omens of a disaster.

It didn't matter if they showed up alive or dead.

Ah, I said something interesting just now.

Even if they showed up alive or dead,

it was an omen of a disaster.

Oh... It might start raining soon.

"...Yeah, yeah, I know. You don't have to tell me.

I'll get the laundry."

I grabbed a basket and went outside to take the laundry in.

The clouds were getting darker.

I normally like rain... but I didn't think I'd enjoy it today.
