― 無声世界 ―
〚 罰当たり悪魔 〛
Hokkaido’s winters are brutally cold, though this one might
just hit a record low. Ontarou have never felt so cold and
that’s close to fifteen decades of experience speaking. He
watched the news today, they said this Hokkaido winter will
be the coldest compared over the past 75 years.
Ontarou shivers and let out a cold breath and observed the
moon. Based on a lunar calendar, tomorrow is a full moon…
a day he can’t really speak, lest he wished death upon others.
Sharp glass that were once sounds and voices… even a
single syllable is enough to make that happen on a full moon.
So, he’ll have to rely on sign language, since typing on a phone
is quite time consuming. He can use the phone, the smartphone
kind and he can type with that, but he prefers sign language.
Though not everyone can understand that compared to his other
method. He’ll resort to that method if he needs to.
Ontarou is grateful Japan became much more literate over the
years. Ontarou learned how to read at some point of his life, but
people understanding sign language is still uncommon.
Without thinking, the cursed being moved around his hands and
fingers, signing…

While it’s a panagram for writing in letters… it just popped up in
Ontarou’s mind whenever he wanted to try out sign language.
He continued on with common words like ‘eat’, 'drink’, 'help’,
then phrases like 'Can I help you?’, or 'This one, please’.
He continued walking while signing, his house, a small one,
is still a distance away.
