The 3rd Story

Today ends after being shaken by a commuter train. When the day finishes today's work, and it sinks in the sky in the west, the vicinity is dyed with a little "Akane" color.

I bought the ingredients for today's dinner at a supermarket near the station, hanging a little heavy on the left side.

'Ha- ha.'

The sigh suddenly burst out of my mouth. It's becoming a habit these days.

'I wonder if there's a good guy somewhere.'

She talks to herself as she swings her shopping bag back and forth.

When She looked up at the sky, the full moon was starting to rise from the Eastern sky.

'Oh, it's the moon. Moreover, it is a full moon. It's big. Come to think of it, whatever today is "Super-moon" someone said? It's a little red. Maybe it's because of the sun.'

It follows the home road while muttering so.


The rotation of the earth is surprisingly early. It feels like time is passing more and more from the time when it passes five o'clock in the evening. It might be because there are a lot of things to do. The day fell before one is aware, and the vicinity became dark.

'Oh, it's already pitch black. It's early, this time around. But it's nice because the moon is big today. Because it's bright. The rabbit is always bigger. I wonder if it's going to grow up, hmm.'


<No, that's not true.>

'That's right. What? Who?'

The alley you're walking in is narrow, and there's no one around you, even if you turn around.

< It's not growing up, it's going to grow up or red to warn people.>

' ・・・ '

The step is getting faster and faster. I was scared and tried to ignore his voice.

<Hey, hey. You're noticed, aren't you? It's about us.>

The rabbit talk to her making "Rice cake" in the reddish moon, which is bigger than usual.

'Yes, yes. Who are you? '

<We're the wild rabbits of the moon. You know that?>

Is it because it is a male that the other party becomes accustomed when it is a woman? Surprisingly, the taste seems to be human.

'Did I say something wrong? '

<No no. that's not the way it is. I thought I'd tell you it wasn't because you said we were going to grow up. Is it close to a whim, I spoke to you.>

'Oh, Is that so?'

When she said that, she looked back at the full moon which was bald and reddish oppositely and started to talk.

'You're constantly watching people's behavior, aren't you?'

<That's right. Originally, it is so that human beings can sleep slowly. But it's been terrible these days. Too selfish. It can't be seen and turn red. Most people don't know. What we mean is that.>

'That's right. I agree with that, I understand. It's mostly human selfishness that causes a lot of problems. But, I saw the rabbits making "Rice cake" for the first time. That's amazing! '

On the contrary, the tension seems to have gone up.

( It's not an animal, it's a messenger of God. At the very least, give me a "like".)

<Thank you for noticing, I'll grant you one wish, but you want a male partner, don't you? >

'Oh, I know you very well.'

( That's what I said earlier.)

<Oh, I've been aware of that since then.>

'Oh oh. Really? But it's my great delight! Thank you!'

<I can't guarantee that, but it's in its own way. Wait two or three days.>

'Thank you. I'll wait without expecting it.'

She send the wink toward the red full moon. Then, the rabbit went to the full moon.

Then, the voice was not heard.

Two "Rabbits" are singing the rice cake silently when looking up. The appearance became considerably smaller compared with the previous, and the color of the moon was a cream color which hung usually yellow.
