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

When I told Flora about the past, I came to Elgis's house with Flora the next morning.

He told his family, Elgis and Fiona, about his past and yesterday.

When I knocked as usual, Fiona-san said "Yes," and the door opened.

"Oh, Aldo isn't Flora. Welcome."

Fiona who sees our faces and urges them in with a smile.

It's natural to get into the house because the family has come without hearing any particulars.

I was embarrassed that I was hiding from such a warm person, and my desire to back up came up.

However, Flora put her right hand on her face as if she were wrapping up her dark thoughts.

When I gaze unintentionally, Flora smiles looking up at me.

I didn't say any words, but it seemed to me that Flora was saying "OK."

I got the courage at Flora's warm smile, and I firmly stood up.

"Fiona, I'll bother you."

"sure. Go ahead"

After lightly bowing and entering, Flora follows behind.

Then he went inside and, as usual, heading into the living room, Elgis sat in a chair drinking tea. Apparently she was drinking after-meal tea.

In the living room, there was a fragrance of slightly sweet apple mint tea.

"Welcome, both of you. Do you drink tea?"

You probably knew us in the voice of the door. Elgis lifts the teacup lightly and asks.

"Yes, I will."

"Me too"

"Then we can make tea for two people."

When Flora nods with me, Fiona prepares tea.

In the meantime, Elgis, who is sitting in front, asks.

"Mr. Aldo, what is the state of the field recently?"

"Yes, I made the field bigger, but there is no problem because the flora is helping me. I can harvest carrots and green beans soon."

"After that, you will be able to harvest cherries and leafy vegetables."

"Oh, that sounds good."

Elgis nods to Takaage as I and Flora tell about the recent vegetable situation.

When we talk about our lives recently, Fiona casually serves tea and Fiona joins the conversation.

"Flora, can you live in your new home?"

The only daughter who has ever lived in this house may be worried. Fiona turns her worries to Flora.

"Yes, yes!

Flora is a polite language even before her mother.

"... I'm a little worried. Aldo-san, is Flora OK?"

"Yes, it's okay. Flora does the housework and field work properly."

Flora relievedly strokes her chest in response to me.

All right. I know Flora is supporting me properly. Rather, it's a work that seems to me to be of no use.

As I said, Fiona was worried and decided to come to my house with Elgis.

He may have been worried about the life after Flora moved to his new home. Fiona felt like this from the beginning.

There is no problem for me because our lives have calmed down. Let's reassure his mother, Fiona, as well as invite her to a new home.

If that topic calms down a little, it will be a little more like a mayor.

The state of the mountains and the villagers I head for hunting. In the past, the appearance of the Red Bear and the desolation of the forest seemed to make him worried.

Elgis is often worried about the mountains just because the flora would be attacked and other villagers might have been sacrificed.

For good reason, I gave me a detailed view of the mountain I was in and what I heard from Loren, Kyle and other hunters.

Well, as a result the forest is stable, so there is nothing wrong. If we have any problems, we will report again.

I spend a while talking and chatting like that.

I opened my mouth at the moment when the conversation was interrupted.

"Ergis, Fiona. Are there any stories you want to hear?"

"Yes, of course, because the child's name is important."

"You, as expected, are all too early."

I intend to cut it out seriously, but the air was scattered due to the natural nature of Elgis.

When it comes to her daughter, Flora, and her grandchildren, she can blow off her thoughts in several stages.

"No, that's right. When I'm talking about my grandchild, I feel faster."

"Of course, grandchildren are also important, but first, the wedding at the Harvest Festival, because the wedding is a lifetime on a big sunny stage for women."

"Yes, it's a wedding!"

I would like to say that Fiona is also flying, but it is hard to say that it is a mistake because the wedding ceremony at the harvest festival is quite close and it is time to prepare.

Unfortunately, that is not the case today ...

I was wondering what had happened to the situation that was hard to say, and Flora sat up next to me.

"Already! Dad, mother! Aldo talks important, so please be quiet!"

"Yes, yeah. I understand."

Elgis is quiet while surprised by Flora's voice.

"... The flora that used to be heard by everyone in the past has also changed. This may also be Aldo's inspiration."

Fiona says somehow with a smile that Flora is happy to grow.

"... yesterday I was also raped."

"Oh dear!"

"Hey Aldo!"

If I divert any further, I will close my mouth because I am more angry than yesterday.

Fiona is quiet without reading the air.

Then Flora sits down slowly and turns her eyes on me to gather the eyes of Elgis and Fiona.

I look at Flora once before opening my mouth.

When I saw Flora nodded, I took a big breath.

And I confessed to Elgis and Fiona.

I was falsifying my name and the past. And about my true name and the past.

And even why he hid it.

After listening to my story, Elgis slowly opens her mouth.

"... Was Aldo's real name Aldred?"

"If you're Aldred, you're an A-rank adventurer famous for killing dragons."

Surprising voices of Elgis and Fiona flow through the living room.

"I'm sorry to be silent."

I apologize by slowly lowering my head.

At the next moment, the abusive words may come from their mouths. Of course. The only daughter's lover had falsified his name and had never spoken about the past. I don't know how to be mistrusted.

Even so, I will try to regain trust.

I don't want to leave Flora.

How much time has passed since I lowered my head.

Meanwhile, Elgis calls out softly.

"... he said well."

"e?"

"I had such a past, and I would have been worried when I came here. It would have been hard to avoid being swung in the past. I would not blame such Mr. Aldo. I'm glad to hear what's important. ''

"I'm a family. I just don't hate Aldo. Even if the name is a little different, wouldn't she be the same as a dragon killer adventurer?"

...... What is it? Their words are very warm. It seems that tears will come out just by listening.

Until now I could only live as an adventurer. Even if you try to find a worthwhile life, the past is always in the way. Seeking a peaceful life while struggling to shake it off.

I felt that Aldo, a villager who lives in Nordende, was recognized as Aldo, not an A-rank adventurer who killed dragons.

That made me very happy.

Wipe the tears that are about to overflow with joy.

Flora hugged me as if to calm me down.

"We're family."

Flora's words whispered in her ear. The word "family", which I had little to date, fell down on my chest.

"Please rely on us more now?"

"Yes!"

I replied, in tears, to Elggis's words.
