An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

Aisha asks Fiona as she walks down the hallway of the village chief's house.

"Hey, Fiona. Is Flora not there now?"

"Yes, she didn't go to get the nuts. I guess she'll be back by evening."

"... Yes, then tell me to come to the vineyard later."

"I got it"

When Fiona replies, Aisha suddenly stops.

"Well, I'm back in the middle of work."

"Oh, oh. Thank you for guiding me this far."

I thought it would follow the village chief, but from the conversation, Aisha probably sought to meet Flora.

If that person weren't there, he would return because he was the village chief. The reason is still refreshing and easy to understand.

Aisha turned his heels and went outside.

"I wanted you to drink tea, but it's unavoidable if you have field work."

Ms. Fiona mutters as if she would see her child. It seems that the child who has returned after a long time is lonely.

Fiona looked away from the door and said to me, "Let's go."

"This is the village chief's room."

"Yes"

When I reply, Fiona knocks on the door.

"Mayor of the village. You can see the customer. Aisha brought me in."

"... I understand. Please put in."

Then, a male voice is heard from inside and Fiona opens the door.

Inspired by Fiona's gaze, I entered the room, where a dandy uncle with a deep face was standing with a good smile. He is probably in his late thirties.

It is dressed in white long sleeves, a red jacket, and brown long pants, but it looks a bit better than the villagers I have seen.

I guess you have to dress like this if you are the head of the village.

The room had a simple but wooden closet, bookshelf and sofa, and there was even a desk in the back to do paperwork.

"It seems he wants to live in this village."

"Well, that's unusual. People coming from outside haven't been there for a long time.

When Fiona says so, the village chief urges him to sit down with a gentle smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"I'm brewing tea."

As soon as I sit down, Sofia leaves the room.

Speaking of which, I'm glad I was thirsty.

"I am Elgis, head of Nordende."

"I'm Aldo. I'm from the Kingdom of Avalonia because I want to live in this village."

We thought about giving a pseudonym, but we stopped it. Aldo would be enough.

The names Aldred and Aldo were commonplace. Aldred had black hair in the church where I was, and there were also Anold and Alto. In the days of the adventurer, I met a guy named Aldo with black hair.

Even if a resident of the village learns of Aldred, the dragon killer, he will not think he is in this village in another country.

There is no branch of the adventurer's guild around here, and even if I do, I don't think I know exactly what I am. The rumors of the dragon killing hero are exaggerated and widespread, and in some areas it is said to be a lost prince or a beautiful man with blond blue eyes.

"It's so far away, even if you ask why you want to live here?"

It takes a month and a half to transfer by carriage. It is this speed because I am a monster, and it takes two months for a normal person.

Anyone coming from such a distant place will be worried about why.

"I stopped by this village nine years ago. I couldn't forget the beautiful view of the flower garden I saw here ..."

"Oh, so. That flower field is a pride of our village. The colors of the flowers that change with the seasons are beautiful and you will never get bored."

Elgis nodded somewhere as convinced.

"Nearby villages and travelers would like to emigrate for the same reason, but this is the first time from the Kingdom of Avalonia. I really liked it."

The smile was much milder than the smile I mentioned earlier.

From what I said earlier, you can see that Elgis also loves the scene. If you calm down, it might be good to watch while talking slowly.

When thinking of such a thing, the door was knocked and Fiona came in.

White steam was rising from the tea cup on the tray, and there was a refreshing sweet scent from it.

"Good scent"

Take a deep breath without intending to smell the scent.

"Apple mint tea. It's freshly picked, so it smells good? If you need honey, you like it."

"I'll calm down when I drink"

Prompted by them, I picked up the tea cups on the table.

When smelled, it smelled like a sweet apple mint green apple. Slowly tilt the cup while enjoying the aroma.

The refreshing sweetness of apple mint spreads in the mouth and runs through the back of the nose.

It gradually warmed up from inside my body, as if I was tired.

"... Huh, calm down."

When I suddenly relieved and muttered, Fiona and Elgis laughed couscous.

"Finally came out."

"Yes, Aldo is too nervous. I am nervous because I have a strong tone and attitude."

That's when I notice.

Apparently, the tension wasn't completely over, perhaps because he was traveling alone, being alert from the Avalonia.

Already, I have arrived at Nordende. There are no adventurer guild staff, nobles, or royals here. You should unload the shoulder a bit.

"I'm sorry, I was traveling alone."

I'm older and I can't speak for the first time, but now I feel like I have a natural smile.

"I came from a distant place and I can't help it. Please spend some time here slowly from today."

"Do you mean you can live here?"

"Yes, there is no problem with people."

I am pleased with the permission of the mayor.

You can live in Nordende.

"I can't bring Aisha to the bad guys. That child is judge, but he has enough eyes to see people?"

Aisha had an aesthetic eye to see nature and people because he had to pass by the vineyards to get to Nordende.

At first I was a little scared.

"There is no house in the center, but if you are not far away there are vacant houses so why not go around?"

"Yes, please"

"But it doesn't mean you can live right away, so stay home today and heal the tiredness of your trip. Let's get around the house tomorrow."

The offer is very grateful. Long rides on the carriages, staying at an inconspicuous inn, and traveling on foot. I'm pretty tired because of what I was doing.

It's great to be able to sleep without being alert in a decent house.

"Thank you for your help"

"Yes, I'll take care of you."

When I bow down, Fiona says, smiling.

It's a conversation that's nothing but warm.

I wonder if my parents were like this. I hope it looks like this.

"Do you have any special skills or want to do something? Do you want to introduce it to someone ??"

…… special skills or what you want to do?

The biggest feat I can do is defeat monsters, but that's not what I want.

It seems that monsters appear less often, and I don't have to do it.

I guess it's like hunting with the adventurer's skills and cultivating with a small field.

You cultivate the fields yourself, plant and eat vegetables and grains. I want to live such a relaxed, self-sufficient life.

If we were hunting, we did it many times to secure food during the adventurer days. Although not as dexterous as a keel, it can handle bows and arrows as such.

I have never been agriculture, so I will be learning from somebody, but I think it will be fine if I divide the prey that I got from hunting.

"... Yes, I'm confident in hunting, so I want to plow a small field while hunting."

"Oh, I'm very happy because there aren't many hunters in my village. I'll introduce the hunters in this village once the house is settled down. Please think about the fields as they will be introduced depending on what you grow. "

"Thank you for everything"

If you get that far, you have to do your best to hunt. I want to thank you for anything.

"No, Aldo is already a member of the village. I will help not only as a village chief but also as an individual."

Elgis laughs somewhat shyly.

It may be quite shy for appearance.

"What will Aldo do now?-Is it a bit early for lunch, but do you have a meal?"

Certainly, I am a little hungry, but there are things I want to see earlier.

For lunch, let's eat it because there is excess preserved food.

"No, I'm going to see the flower garden."

When I got up and told me, Elgis smiled.
