"Mother looks up at the sky every day, but she doesn't know what she's looking at?" Hamura, who was already a twenty-year-old young man, spoke.

When Yuyi heard his brother's question, he closed his eyes helplessly and said, "She doesn't want to say anything to us, no one knows what she is thinking." ”

Looking at Hamura, Haroi continued, "I think in my mother's heart, there may be hidden thoughts that even our two sons can't guess. ”

On the other side, on a stone in the pond, a toad lay quietly on the stone, it was the toad pill that had been away from the toad country for nearly four years.

The language and writing of the Toad Country are all from humans, so the toads can understand human speech.

Because he wears a purple bead with the word "oil" written on the inside of the teacher, a treasure given to him by Toad Oil, Toadmaru can merge himself with nature and not be discovered by Kaguya. At the same time, because it knows the human language, it has fully understood the personalities of Kaguya and the two brothers in Hajiro during the four years of observation.

Just recently, Toadmaru has decided to reveal some of the secrets about their mother, Otsuki Kaguya, and the sacred tree to the two brothers. To do this, it ······

"Hey! Hajiro, Hamura, come with me. A young woman trotted up to the two and said.

"What's wrong? Haori. "Although her appearance is not comparable to that of their mother, she can also be called a beauty in terms of the aesthetics of the feather coat. Looking at the girl in front of her, who had been playing since she was a child, Feather Kao asked.

Haori told the story of what had happened, and led the two of them to the place where the incident occurred.

As early as a few years ago, after the two brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, learned everything Kaguya could teach, and they were appointed by Kaguya as the administrators of the ancestral country, so now everything in the ancestral country is in charge of the two.

When the three of them arrived at the scene, they saw two farmers arguing there, and it seemed that it was about to get to the point of getting started.

"Hey!" Feather Cloak stopped the two of them and separated them. "Stop! What's going on? ”

The other farmer, who had been being held by the strong farmer, sat down on the ground with a helpless expression after he let go. At this point, the strong farmer said, "What else!" This guy snatched all the water! ”

On the other side, after hearing the words of the strong farmer, the farmer sitting on the ground got up excitedly and said, "My field is upstream, this is normal!" ”

"But before that, the water can flow to other fields." At this time, Hamura asked.

The farmer who grabbed the water heard Hamura's words and began to summon truthfully, "That's the case, the flow of the river has suddenly decreased, and I can't help it!" ”

Ha Yi and Yu Mura glanced at each other, and Yu Yu said to the two: "We will solve the problem of the river, from now on, you two don't do it again." ”

After stopping the two, Haromo and Hamura began to inspect the river, and continued to walk up the upper reaches of the river, until they came to the border of the forest, seeing that the amount of water in the river was still so small, Haromo couldn't help but ask, "Is there something going on upstream?" ”

At this time, the farmer who grabbed the water said, "Originally, I also wanted to go up the mountain to check it out, but there are bears on this mountain, and no one wants to enter it at will." Not long ago, there was an old woman who was picking wild vegetables, and she was seriously injured as a result. ”

Glancing at the farmer, Feather Cloak said, "Got it, we'll solve this problem." ”

"Be careful! "Haori said worriedly.

Glancing back at her, Yu Yi said, "It's okay, don't worry!" Let's go, Hamura. ”

"Hmm." Hamura looked at Ha Yi and answered.

Then the two went straight up the river and walked for a while, but they didn't see the reason. Yu Yi couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked his younger brother, "Can you see anything?" ”

"Wait a minute." Hamura then opened his white eyes, and under the pupil power of the white eyes, his gaze continued to extend, and soon he saw the end of the river, and a boulder pressed against the river. "Looks like there's a big rock."

After receiving his brother's letter, the feather coat didn't say anything more, and the two soon came to the edge of the big rock upstream.

"I see, it's this stone blocking the river!" Feather robe let out such a sigh.

Then Hamura asked, "But where did this stone come from?" I didn't see it when I came here before. ”

"Falling from the sky? Or did someone put it on purpose? Feather asked.

"Who else? The only person who can move such a big rock is your brother except your mother. "Hamura's thoughts at this time are the test given to them by their mother. But a voice interrupted his conjecture.

"I put this stone!"

Hearing this, Haromo and Hamura began to look around their surroundings.

"Hey! Don't ignore me! ”

Hearing this, Feather finally locked the source of the sound behind him, on the toad on the rock.

"But I'm not a bug (ignoring the Japanese homonym for bugs), I'm a frog." Toadmaru said to the two.

The two of them were a little at a loss when they heard the voice of the toad, and Feather Cole said to Hamura, "Hey, is there something wrong with my brain?" Then he pointed to the toad pill, "Why is the frog telling a bad joke." ”

Hearing his brother's words, Hamura also asked, "Brother, then something is wrong with my brain." ”

In front of the two of them, Toadmaru spoke again: "There is nothing wrong with your brains, I am indeed talking." I saw it close its eyes, put its hands in front of its chest, and said, "No, you didn't even laugh at the cold joke I said?" The point is, you may indeed be wrong. As he spoke, it was another joke.

At this time, Hamura had already opened his eyes and kept observing the surroundings of Toad Pill, "No one is hiding nearby, it seems that it is not a ventriloquist technique." Hamura said incredulously.

"As far as humans are concerned, you're too cautious!" Toad Pill said helplessly.

"You're too self-righteous frog, aren't you?" Feather robe replied directly.

Hearing Yu Yi's words, Toadmaru Frog pointed at them and said, "You don't know, we frogs have lived here since a long, long time ago. ”

Seeing this scene, Hamura couldn't help but laugh and said, "Talking frog, everyone will be very happy to catch it." ”

"Stupid, it's strange how you can do it with your ability!" Toadmaru said confidently.

Hearing this, the two brothers stepped forward and said, "You little frog, you have a very big mouth!" ”

"Oh! Another guest is coming! Toadmaru looked behind them.

At the same time, the sound of the grass being plucked behind them did sound. The two of them turned around and saw a huge figure appear in front of them······
