文字数 3,665文字

 Rutsu made a phone call. She said, our mother and Aiko (the old lady on a wheelchair) were a Christian friend since childhood. Aiko's granddaughter(who was pushing her wheelchair) is named Rei.
―― Rei's parents are the same as not being ,I did not ask in detail , Aiko has raised Rei like her parents. Aiko collapsed a few years ago, after that she suffered from aftereffects, her left half paralyzed, and she could not speak clearly. After that, Rei has taken care of Aiko.

 However, recently, Rei will go to Tokyo. Rustu said that it was for work, or rather for the realization of dreams. Rei is aiming for a singer.
 So Aiko decided to join the same home as my mother. That day was the entry day of Aiko, everyone came to send her.
 About the constituent members of "everyone", Rutsu enthusiastically explained it(To be honest, that was something I did not care about.).

 First, Mr. Nonobe carried everyone on a private car.
 Because his wife(Her name is Nonoka. When pronouncing full name Nonoka Nonobe it looks like a manga or anime character!)was acquaintance of Aiko and Rei.
 Mrs. Nonobe was consulted with Aiko on the elderly home. So she suggested sending Aiko and Rei with her husband's car.
 Rutsu has long been a familiar face with Aiko & Rei, because she goes to the same church as our mother Hanna and theirs. As they go the home with Aiko, she asked them "If you have any vacancies, please let me seat." Rutsu thought that she knew a little about the home, she could make a way, and she would be useful for Aiko. Of course she was supposed to meet her mother Hannna.
 And on that Sunday, when the worship in the morning was over, everyone entered the car.
――This is an overview of that day that Rutsu talked about.

"I was surprised, Mrs.Noobe's husband was Kou-chan"
On the phone, Rutsu spoke with a bouncing voice. She said pleasantly, Kousuke Nonobe was a classmate of her junior high school days, and they were on a class committee together.
 I had no choice but to smile at such sister.
"So he is a junior to you too"
"Well, that's right."
"It's a narrow city,"
 Rutsu 's muffled laugh, I felt I touched my ears coldly.
 Because the narrowness is boring, I left Numazu.

 After describing circumstances at once,
"I want to ask a favor of you"
 Rutsu said with a serious voice.
 I got instinct that this is the main subject.
 Before getting into the main subject, it is a habit of Rutsu that has long been detouring with another topic. Although past forty, she has no progress.
"I want you to come to church once, do not you go to Sunday worship service? You may have worshiped when you were a child, because it has not changed much, so it's okay."
"No, it does not matter whether it's okay or not, why should I go to church?"
"I want you to talk with all our mother's friends, both the pastor's teacher, because everyone is worried about our mother"
"The matter of our mother is a matter of our family, we should not involve others or be interfered with"
"Yes, there are people who support each other like a family, you do not know."
 Anger was stroking at her end. Perhaps it was my feeling too much. In any case, my heart was angry with inspiration from that feeling.

 Sure, I used to go to church several times with our mother and Rutsu.
 Every time I went to the church, I felt like bitter water.
"I have not liked church for a long time. I'm sorry, but I refuse to go."
 Just before I hung up, I heard a sigh of Rustu.
