2: The Girl Who Changed
Night.
「Are you okay, Sophia? Wasn't it hard?」
「Yes. As a logical conclusion, it's no problem」
Naoto and Sophia walked side by side on the sidewalk of the bustling downtown area.
They weren't holding hands... because Sophia's hand was completely blocked.
A giant plush gorilla.
The size of the stuffed toy was about 150 centimeters.
The people passing by the two of us are surprised by the size of the stuffed animal and the cute foreign girl holding it.
Sophia carried the stuffed animal while holding it in front of her. The stuffed animal should have blocked her view, but the person in question walked smoothly while avoiding the person carrying the doll.
「It's not too heavy... I can carry it without getting tired. I barely have a field of vision, but I've sharpened my senses in addition to my eyesight.」
「In addition to sight, is it hearing and smell？」
「And this is purely a "hunch". For some reason, I have a strong "intuition'' that can sense the approach of dangerous creatures to me.」
「Is that so?」
「Thanks to that, there have been several times when I was able to dodge enemy bullets at the last minute.」
It was beyond my comprehension, but since Sophia walked without any discomfort when her vision was obstructed, I could only believe it to be true. A very experienced professional assassin.
「Even so, are you really happy with this stuffed toy? Isn't it too big?」
「Of course. I have a little extra space in my house, so it's just right. Besides that」
「Other than that?」
「......It was a nice date with Naoto. Small plush toys are easy to forget. If I have a big stuffed animal by my side, it's hard to forget it....」
「I-I understand......」
Naoto was too embarrassed to say anything else.
The date at the zoo, in Naoto's eyes, was a great success.
Looking at the animals one after another in the park, Sophia's face remained expressionless but her eyes were shining.
Especially Sophia was fascinated by the gorilla. He was bigger than a human, and Sophia was very touched to see the gorilla patting her shoulder with both hands.
The lunch I made for lunch is also delicious. I made this with Sophia yesterday.
And, at the last souvenir shop we stopped at, Sophia wanted to buy a giant stuffed gorilla.
Why a gorilla, Naoto thought.
Why a gorilla... No, the zoo we visited today is famous for its handsome gorillas, and the gift shop is full of gorilla items...
「Gorillas tend to avoid unnecessary fights. Same with us killers.」
Sophia tells Naoto if she guessed Naoto's inner thoughts with "intuition".
「I understand. ......」
「And also, everything is black just like with us. I sympathize with her」
「That one too！」
「So it doesn't matter. I want Naoto to love this girl too」
「Well, that's good」
「Good. Thanks to Naoto, Giabani」
「Does she have a name yet!?」
Before I knew it, the conversation had turned into a gorilla-only conversation... but I'm so glad Sophia enjoyed the zoo. I even bought Sophia her favorite souvenir.
From now on, I hope Sophia will continue to recognize the "fun" of daily life in Japan.
One day, the assassin's hiatus will end, and Sophia will return to her wonderful life.
So, at least for now...
「......Actually, the zoo has some weak points」
「eh......」
「......When I was a child in an orphanage, I was taken to the forest many times where I was trained as an assassin.」
I'm sure I've heard stories like that. Someday, it's time to talk about eating insects.
「Simply put, I survived in the forest for a month. But the forest was full of dangerous animals and I had to fight them. The animals that were killed had to be used as food. That was my way to survive」
At the zoo, Sophia would sometimes stop in front of a cage and stare at the animal with an expressionless face.
Perhaps she was remembering the animals she killed in her own memories.
「That's why there used to be some animals that were painful to look at. However, after coming to Japan, that feeling has diminished.」
「Japan is peaceful, right？」
「Partial denial. That's probably because I spent time with Naoto」
「What do you mean？」
「The heartfelt expression of "Itadakimasu" and "Thank you for the meal". A meal made by killing other animals and thanks for the ingredients. Somehow I feel saved by that」
「............」
「It's probably self-deception. But I think it's probably what it is」
「So what's the result? 」
Sophia didn't say anything and hugged the gorilla doll tightly.
She probably said that she enjoyed herself too much to buy a stuffed animal.
Once again, I couldn't find the words to return to Sophia. I feel sorry for that.
However, if today's date caused a change in Sophia, I think it's also a good thing.
I'm sure it will remain in Sophia even after she returns to her marvelous life.
And as I thought so.
「Hey take that」
The voice came from the front. Naoto reflexively looked at them.
When I looked at it, on the road a few tens of meters ahead, there was an old woman who was lying down and pointing ahead.
「Catch her! There's money for dinner in that purse...!」
Staring in the direction she was pointing... A man on a motorcycle, holding the purse that I thought he had stolen from the old lady, in front of the crowd.
The coped had left the sidewalk and was on the road, accelerating.
At this rate, I'll forget about it. If I didn't catch her now, the bag wouldn't come back.
Sophia might be able to chase after the coped.
But if she did that, all eyes would be on Sophia.
What to do, what to do...!?
「Naoto」
Sophia called out. Her expression was that of a stuffed animal and couldn't be seen. However, I could hear Sophia's distressed voice through her stuffed animal, clearly saying her will.
Gorillas tend to avoid unnecessary fights. Same with us assassins.
So how about this battle...?
「Go Sophia!」
Naoto shouted at will.
「Hide your figure with a stuffed animal and continue! That's why!」
「Okee！」
Sophia jumped forward while holding the gorilla doll.
