["Food around the village is scarce." Alright, so definitely "small and destitute," not large and prosperous. Knowing what he knows now, Hiyori can better understand why bringing back his brother seems like a matter of life and death to Hiiro.

Someone needs to save that failing village. Someone needs to rebuild the Tomoe Foundation. And in cases like this, it's always the older brother. Right? Shrugging off your responsibilities and leaving everything to the younger brother, why, that would just be unthinkable.

While Hiyori muses on such serious topics, however, Hiiro is smiling brightly again. And hearing his polite words of gratitude, well—that puts Hiyori in higher spirits. So high, in fact, that he reaches out again to pat Hiiro's fluffy head.]

Right, you're a good, cute boy, so of course you will! ♪

[Ah, what a polite child... He can't understand how the boy's brother could heartlessly run off and leave him worrying. Even if the pressure of becoming monarch got to be too much, the least he could've done was make himself easier to find.

But that's something they'll worry about tomorrow. "They," not just Hiiro alone, because Hiyori has made it his mission to help. There's no guarantee he'll have any luck finding Amagi Rinne, but with Hiiro relying on him, Hiyori plans to do his best.

He releases Hiiro's head and finally starts to head to the washroom.]

I'll be out soon, but if you've already fallen asleep by then, have a good night.
