Chapter 166: Setting Sail From Kagura
Leaving Kagura, I freely used wind magic just like before and shortened the ti it took for us to arrive at the port city Esport in five days.
Then we restocked our foodstuff for our return journey, bought fish and souvenirs that can only be found at Esport, and rest to restore our energy.
Currently, the season has changed from Spring into early Sumr, so I began to feel hot rather than it’s being warm. If I were to move around a bit then I’ll sweat, and there were nights when I can’t sleep well so I used the cold air from Ice magic to lower the temperature and then slept.
And the next day, Irvine, Mort, and Roomba ca to sleep over in my single room, nothing was more off-putting than that. If it’s going to be that way, then it would be better if Ilya or Aleutia were the ones who entered my room.
While thinking like that, we depart from Esport by carriage the next morning.
We’re traveling from the Aldonia Kingdom’s port city Esport to the city of Kikka in the Misphilt Kingdom.
During my free ti between the journey, I spend it leisurely while explaining about doubles in the table tennis to Tori and researching about the sli pillow.
And as expected, a chilled sli pillow in this season where it’s getting hotter is really the best.
And I guess not only the mbers of the Silver Wind, but the mbers of the company also noticed the usefulness of the pillow that the spectacle of people chasing after slis can be seen along the way.
Then we wrapped the sli in monster leather and throw so appropriate feeds into it, and chilled the pillow using Ice magic tool.
Imdiately after that, a bunch of cold sli pillows is made.
Though several people were carrying slis that have beco liquid because they forgot to feed the slis the next morning………
We arrived at Kikka while spending the ti cheerfully like that.
After finishing with the replenishnt of our stuff, we stayed overnight since when we arrived at Kikka it was already the evening just like the ti in Esport.
I also trained my magic with Aleutia and Ilya, and had a good ti talking with everyone for so ti.
And now I’m finally back at Koryatt village.
When I look out of the window of the carriage, the spreading grassland and the clear blue sky can be seen everywhere.
Looking at this beautiful scene, I really feel that I’m finally back in Koryatt village.
Taking a deep breath, took in all greeneries, the sa sll of fresh air mixed with the sll of the earth when I left from here.
「……sure enough, this air is the most calming」
Even back when I went from the royal capital, or from Kagura like now, it doesn’t change.
Aah, as expected I really like Koryatt village. This place is the most calming place for .
Looking around at the surroundings while spacing out, I can also see the figures of the villagers plowing the fields today.
Perhaps it’s because it’s already sumr, the villagers are wearing short sleeves.
With such a hot temperature, I guess it’s inevitable for them to want to take their clothes off.
And perhaps it’s because of it being hot, that it appears Roland took off his tunic while doing farm work. Westa was also standing close to him with a sour look on his face.
「Oi, Roland. Put your clothes on now. Despite it already being uncomfortably hot, now it becos even more stuffy with you showing off your dirty body like that」
「Can’t help it, it’s hot y’know. Then don’t look at my body if you don’t want to see it 」
「Even if I don’t want to see it, don’t you know that you’re in plain sight idiot!」
「What’d you say!? Co here a mont, you! Imma fix you up!」
「Stop it, you’re dripping with sweat. If you co here and spread your sweat around then I’m going to treat you as a threat」
Being told like that by Westa, Roland stares unblinkingly at his own body.
Even when you look at his appearance from the distance, you will know that he’s sweating a lot, with healthy tanned skin that glistened with greasy sweat.
After comprehending his body’s situation, Roland looked at himself and grins after seeing Westa.
「……o, oi, no way you! You're not thinking about hugging with that appearance, right?」
「It’ll be disgusting to hug soone like you………just that, I only want to do so pinning technique on you since you made irritated」
「………you’re……joking, right?」
「You should know what I’m gonna do since we’ve known each other for a long ti already, right. At tis like this, I’m not gonna lie………」
Westa took a step back while his face turned pale, but Roland started to close the distance between them with a fearless smile on his face.
Coupled with this large build, it’s like the scene of a bear is cornering its prey.
「Being hugged by Roland when he’s dripping with sweat will definitely be unbearable, no way!」
「Fuhahahahaha! Wait up! Westa!」
Seeing Westa running away, Roland fiercely chases after him.
Even watching these stupid scenes makes feel nostalgic.
「Ohー! Isn’t that Toriela’s Company carriage?」
「Oi, look! That’s Alfried-sama over there!」
「Ooh, those dead-eyes is definitely his, no doubt ‘bout it. It’s Alfried-sama!」
Perhaps the villagers who were working in the fields noticed us as when I was watching and laughing at Westa who was running away from the chaser Roland, they waved their hands to us while shouting.
「Did you gain weight?」
「I’m a kid after all, so I'm just growing and getting bigger, right?」
This is bad, was it that obvious to make the villagers notice it? And did I beco that fat?
But I already decreased my al on the way back to Koryatt.
Maybe it was a mistake for to make a special sweet fruit juice-shaved ice just because it beca hot? No, I’m also tired of talking with others and so it makes want to eat to spend the ti. I feel like I was taking out stuff from the subspace all the ti and eating it.
However, it’s going to be sumr from now on. I’m going to sweat a lot, and I’m a kid anyway. Even if I gain a little weight it would be easy to lose them. It’s the perk of being young.
I waved my hand to the villagers while trying to persuade myself.
Though there are no Asmo or Torr this ti, I wonder if those people are doing well? After I return and took a rest at the mansion, I guess I’m going to give them their souvenirs.
「We’ve arrived, ehー」
Before I knew it, it appears that the carriage has arrived in front of the mansion when I was thinking about which souvenirs would be good for the two of them.
Hearing Tori’s sluggish voice, I got off the carriage.
Imdiately after, I saw my nostalgic mansion.
The gate that was being kept clean is as elegant as ever, and there are hardly any dirt or fallen leaves on the ground on the way to the mansion.
And then, on the end of the straight path are Nord-tousan, Elna-kaasan, Sylvio-niisan, Bartolo, Mina, and Sara lined up to welco us.
How co Eleonora-neesan and l are not here?
Oh well, no matter. I’ll just ask for the small details later. I’m just happy to be back and et with everyone.
When I approach Nord-tousan and the others, sohow――they have complex expressions on their faces.
「……hey, why are you people have that kind of expression on your faces despite your son being back for the first ti in a month?」
I can’t be happy with this situation. It won’t beco a scene where the family runs up and hug their child y'know.
When I protest like that, Nord-tousan vaguely smiles while Elna-kaasan is expressionless.
「……Al, you’ve gotten fat, haven't you?」
「Eh!」
「The mont I saw you get off from the carriage, I told myself that my son would grow taller after leaving for a month, but now that I saw you close I’m convinced. You’re not 」
Elna-kaasan started to pinch my cheeks and stomach while saying that.
……I wonder why is this happening. Their son is back after a month from ho, so I thought that it’d be nice if you told 「Welco back」 though.
「You got fat during the ti I don’t see you for a while, Al」
「……ahaha, you beco a bit plump」
Nord-tousan and Sylvio-niisan said that while smiling wryly when I turn my eyes to those two to ask for assistance.
「I, I’m still a kid anyway, this much should be fine right? It’s also sumr, so he’ll definitely be able to lose weight!」
「Alfried-sama seldom went out of his room, and likes to use magic so it’s normally impossible to lose your weight」
「That’s right, I can only see a future where you will only get more fat」
It’s unusual for Mina to support , but then Sara and Bartolo pointed out so unsparing points.
Uguu, that’s certainly true. When it cos to this hot season, I will absolutely use Ice magic, and will hardly co out from my room because of that, doing nothing but eating and sleeping inside my room.
If anything, I can only see a future where I got fatter than now.
「By the way, where’s Eleonora-neesan and l?」
While trying to escape the reality in front of , I ask sothing bothering .
Imdiately after, Elna-kaasan sighed as if she was fed up with .
「Eleonora is now at the royal capital, training with the knight’s order. She went with l to assist her, so the two of them are not here」
Though I could make out what Elna-kaasan was saying, I can’t understand it well.
「……eh, so Eleonora-neesan……is not here?」
So that kind of thing is possible? No, that’s possible, right?
「That’s right」
「Yaay!」
For so reason, Elna-kaasan hit in the head the mont my happiness was laid bare.
「If you’re being happy because of that then it’ll be sad for Eleonora you know」
Ooh, that’s right. Just now, I was so happy that my emotions exploded out.
Control your emotions, Alfried. Elna-kaasan will be angry at you again otherwise.
A peaceful daily life without Eleonora-neesan. After seven years since being born as Alfried Slowlett. I wonder if such days exist before?
No, there’s none! Suppose that there is such day, it was such a day where I was still small that I can’t do anything. Not counting that, it will be the first ti in my life I move freely.
This is bad, I wonder what kind of life I will lead if there is no Eleonora-neesan. Until now Eleonora-neesan’s presence is too natural around , so I can’t imagine the kind of life where she’s not there.
But still, I guess it’s going to be peaceful……
「…even if you’re not saying anything, your face shows all your thoughts, did you know that?」
To think that it will beco like that, does the happiness show in my face?
「Hmm, if it’s like that then I think the practice ti will decrease, surely, right?」
「……Al, with such a figure, do you really think that practice ti will decrease because Eleonora is not here?
When I said my true feelings by mistake, Nord-tousan told that while smiling gently.
What is this, I can only think of Nord-tousan’s smile as sothing frightening even though it’s such a gentle smile.
「………uhh, it’s not going to decrease?」
「It will not decrease. Rather, it's going to increase. By the way, did you practice when you’re in Kagura?」
「……I, I’ve done a lot of magic practice though」
「I see, then let’s have so practice now」
When I answered him like that, Nord-tousan pulled my arm and started to walk toward the garden while smiling.
As I look toward the other family mbers as if asking for help while letting myself be pulled,
「「Take careーe」」
They waved their hands and said that in unison with smiling faces.
No! I don’t want you to send off like that, but I want welcoming words for …………!
As a result, even with the absence of Eleonora-neesan, the severe training doesn’t seem to change as long as Nord-tousan is still here.
