Chapter 213: It's Not A Won's Association But Girl's Gathering
「Haaー……sure enough, lying down on the plains is the best」
A plain so distance away from the mansion. I muttered as I exhale in relief while lying on my back, facing the sky.
It’s still the morning after I have my breakfast. The ti when everyone who lives in this world starts working for the day.
While the people in this world are beginning to move busily, I am lying down on the plain like this while looking up at the sky.
It’s a wonderful thing to be able to indulge myself in sleeping again in the morning as people are also working hard today.
The sky is perfectly clear and blue. The sun is warm and pleasant. The birds are chirping as they are flying around, and the sound of leaves being blown by the gentle breeze is pleasant to listen to.
It’s as if all of the nature here is inviting to sleep.
There is no one on these wide plains, only one person - - who is lying down on the ground.
I even feel as if I’m the only one in this world as I lie down like this.
「Now then, I guess I’ll sleep until noon today……」
I don’t have any plans today, so I’m free. I’m going to fully indulge myself in sleeping from the morning today.
And I’ll wake up when I’m hungry, eat the al made by Bartolo, then sleep again……
◆
My consciousness - that had sunk into slumber - slowly return.
Perhaps it’s already noon when I open my eyes since the sun is now just right overhead.
I mutter while squinting due to the dazzling light of the sun coming straight to my eyes.
「……I’m hungry」
It’s obvious since it is now noon already.
I only slept on the plain since morning, but my body needed so energy.
My stomach is making a cute *kyuu* sound, complaining that it's hungry.
If it were the adult from my previous life, I feel like I didn’t feel hungry like this just by sleeping again in the morning. Could this be because of a young child's tabolism?
After blinking my eyes several tis and getting used to the light from the sun, I stand up and imagine the road a short distance away from the mansion.
「Teleport!」
Then, I wrapped myself with my magic power and cast the Space magic’s Teleport.
The surrounding scenery changes in an instant. After experiencing the floating sensation for a mont, the straight road and the Slowlett mansion that I had beco used to seeing are now in front of .
「As long as I have Space magic, I don’t have to worry about the ti and effort needed to reach ho, it’s really aweso」
I return to the mansion with light steps while sending my gratitude to Kami-sama for the Space magic he bestowed on .
I feel so energetic today since I can sleep again comfortably in the morning.
「Alfried-sama. Welco back」
「I’m backー」
As I pass through the gate in front of the mansion, Sara - who was sweeping the road to the mansion with a broom - greet .
It looks like she is also working diligently today.
「Alfried-sama, Elna-sama is looking for you so please head to the lounge on the first floor」
Lounge? Though she would usually call to the living room or dining room, I wonder why did she ask to go to the lounge?
As I was puzzled over it, Sara explains it to as if to tell the reason.
「It appears that Myula-sama and Dorothea-sama are visiting」
I see, it’s understandable if there are guests visiting us.
At any rate, they are always taking care of , so I should show myself.
「Okay. Thank you」
Giving a simple thanks to Sara, I then briskly walked toward the mansion.
Entering the entranceway, I saw unfamiliar shoes in the shoe rack, and two slippers are missing from the prepared slippers.
Tonkichi and Pyonkichi are not there.
Myula-san and Dorothea-san, I wonder who among them wears those?
I head for the lounge at the back of the first floor while imagining it.
As I approach the lounge, I heard faint sounds of won’s laughter.
Inside this room is Myula-san - Torr’s mother - and Dorothea-san - Asmo’s mother. And also, there is also my mother, Elna-kaasan, huh………
「……it feels kinda ominous」
I wonder what kind of conversations are they having inside?
I feel scared despite wanting to hear about it.
Be that as it may, I can’t eavesdrop on their conversation here, so let’s quickly enter and say hello to them.
So I lightly knock on the door of the lounge.
「Mother, I have co to greet Myula-san and Dorothea-san」
「「「…………」」」
The mont I call out to them, the cheerful conversation inside paused.
This feeling is like I really interrupted their conversation.
「……was that Alfried-sama’s voice just now?」
「It’s a different voice from his usual voice was it not?」
「…………」
I can hear Myula-san and Dorothea-san whispering inside wonderingly.
And Elna-kaasan falls silent for so reason.
I want her to call out to and let enter the room.
「……umm, Elna-sama. That was maybe, Alfried-sama? Should we let him in?」
「Tha, that’s right. Al, co on in」
That Elna-kaasan, she didn’t realize that it was for a sec there.
「Excuse 」
So I politely opened the door and enter the lounge while having that kind of thought.
The big lounge for receiving guests is different from the living room and dining room, there are a lot of nice-looking furniture and furnishings inside the room.
Myula-san and Dorothea-san are sitting on the high-class sofa we splurged on inside, and Elna-kaasan was sitting in front of them. The three of them seem to be elegantly drinking tea and picking the cookie on the table with their legs lined up neatly on the ground.
The three’s mood is really like won’s association’s noble gathering together, I guess?
「Good afternoon, Myula-san, Dorothea-san」
「Good afternoon Alfried-sama. Forgive us for intruding」
After I greet them, Myula-san and Dorothea-san lightly bowed in unison.
I wonder why. The two of them are usually scolding their children harshly, but now that they greet politely in the lounge like this, it makes them really look like nobles.
「Thank you very much for taking care of Al all this ti」
「No no, I should be the one saying that. I’m really sorry because my son has been troubling you」
「And we have also received the souvenirs from the royal capital, thank you very much」
While I finish with my light greeting, this ti the wives’ humble words start coming.
Since each of them is depreciating their own family mbers, Torr’s mom - who had ntioned it first - now has made Torr a naughty kid.
And after our greeting has more or less finished, Elna-kaasan says while smiling wryly.
「Al, I already told you that Myula-san and Dorothea-san will co today, didn’t I? Where have you been?」
「Aah, now that you ntion it, today is the day for won’s association――」
「「「It’s not ‘won’s association. It’s ‘girl’s association'」」」
The three of them imdiately denied my muttering as I rembered the occasion for today.
Everyone is smiling brightly, but their eyes aren't laughing at all. Moreover, their voices are stern.
「Forgive , it’s girl’s gathering then」
After I corrected myself in a hurry, the three of them generously nodded while smiling brightly.
From a woman’s perspective, no matter how old they are, it should still be called a ‘girl’s gathering’.
「I will just be a nuisance if I were here, so I will excuse myself. Please send my regards to Torr-kun and Asmo-kun 」
The atmosphere turns bad since I stepped on a landmine, so I made an appropriate excuse and tell them that I will leave.
Though I’m a kid, I’m still a noble. There are probably still a lot of things won want to talk about, so it would be a nuisance for to be here.
「No, please take care of our son」
After hearing those two’s answers, I slowly left the room.
「Alfried-sama, he can also have such a serious conversation, isn’t he」
Just before I close the door, I faintly heard Dorothea-san’s impressed voice.
1. Even Japanese (esp. Japanese n) are confused with this phrase (^^;)
