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

"Huh ... good weather"

In the pleasant sunshine in the morning in front of Aisha's house, I stretch a lot.

The Nordende sky is blue and clear, and the calm sunshine after summer is pleasant.

As I finished stretching, I took a big breath and fresh air mixed with earth and greens tickled my nostrils.

Then I twist my body and rotate my arms as if to loosen my stretched body.

It is pleasant to move the body in this way, probably because of the open space.

My recent daily routine is to get up in the morning and relax my body like this, probably due to my neighbor's grandfather and grandmother.

Is it a little old smell? But relaxing your body is good for your health, isn't it good?

Aisha came out of the house as he moved his body to tell his heart that way.

"Well ..."

Aisha closes the door and leaks too much for a woman.

As usual, the morning was weak, and my long, waisted hair was jumping everywhere, probably because of my habit.

If you take care of your dress, it looks more beautiful, but it's no use.

Nevertheless, healthy tan skin is meticulous and slim with body.

In particular, the person himself does not care, but it is amazing to be able to maintain that state.

"I let you wait. Let's go."

As Aisha stepped down the stairs in front of the house, the door of the house opened vigorously and Ena came out.

"Sister! Where are you going?"

"... a little Aldo house"

"Okay, but you should come back by noon? I have a field job today!"

"... Yes, I understand, I'll be back at noon."

It's like a conversation between my mother and daughter.

Ena, who had seen her lazy and lazy sister on the whole, was unavoidably forced to take herself seriously. Looking at them, you can see that.

"It's absolutely necessary? This time, I won't be late if I come back with the rest of Flora's home cooking!"

"... Oh, I understand."

Aisha replies, distorting her face, as if she had negotiated that she would be able to negotiate if she brought her home cooking.

During this time, I got the permission of being late by bringing home flora home cooking, but this time it seems that it does not work.

Eina asked her to look at me, believing that Aisha's response and attitude seemed untrustworthy.

"Courne, do you ask me? I have a job from noon, so please tell her to return to her?"

"Leave it. If you don't return today, I'll skip the bath."

As expected, Ena seemed sorry, so I answered with a thumbs up.

"That's Kurune! You can count on him!"

"A little Kurune! Isn't it !?"

Aisha peels her eyes and shouts if she can't stand the bath.

Recently, my magic has allowed the Aisha family to take a bath every day.

Aisha, who loves relaxing in the bath, looks forward to taking a bath every day, so it would be effective to be taken up.

"I'm sorry if you bother Eina too much. Work when you work."

"Oh yeah! Your sister should do a little better!"

Eina asks me to piggyback on my words. The words reflect Eina's sincere wishes, suggesting that she was struggling until now.

"... I'm the host of Kurune?"

"Aisha, if you live together like this, do you know which is stronger as a host?"

I answer by comparing Aisha and Ena.

We already know who has the most power in Aisha's house.

In my daily life, I don't even know which shoulder I have.

"... I understand now, you know, Kurune, I'll go quickly."

As expected, this felt bad, and walked down the road as Aisha escaped.

Eina and I laugh at her as she sees Aisha appearing as an idea. Then I waved to Ena and followed Aisha behind.

◆

When I left Aisha's house, I walked along the gravel road alongside Aisha.

However, I was really worried about Aisha's hair, which has many sleeping habits.

"Hey, Aisha. It's a bad idea to go out as it is. Stop because I'll take a habit."

"... Yeah? It's okay. I won't understand if I put it together this way."

As I say, Aisha tries to get her hair tied up with Valletta.

Oh, already. Why do you treat it so crudely with such beautiful hair?

"Sure, it's not noticeable, but I understand it. You can't be a girl like this."

"... Kurune is like Eena."

It will only take care of Aisha because it is too sloppy.

About to sigh at Aisha's words, I magically generate hot water.

Then I poured hot water on the scalp where Aisha's hair was jumping.

After moistening the hair, dry it with wind magic.

It doesn't have a comb, so it's a hand comb, but it doesn't matter if it's smooth Aisha's hair.

"Yes! I could do it!"

"... do you have a habit of sleeping anymore?"

"No! It's perfect!"

"……so"

When I answered so, Aisha muttered uninteresting and wrapped her hair behind in Valletta.

"Hey! Why did you put it together, even though you prepared it!"

"It's easier to do this, isn't that all right?"

With no ears to listen to, Aisha quickly wrapped her hair behind as usual.

It is carefully organized in consideration of what was really prepared, but it is not clear from me.

After walking along the road for a while, an uncle who pushed a cart from the previous road came.

"Hey Aisha and Kurune! Good morning!"

"Good morning"

"……Good morning"

When we say hello, the uncle happily nods and stops the cart.

"Thank you, Kurune, for taking your clothes off the roof during this time. I'd like to give you some vegetables to thank you, but wouldn't it be in the way now?"

This uncle, a villager living near Aisha's house, had magically picked up clothes that had been thrown off the roof during this time.

"I don't need to thank you so much so much."

We just took the clothes on the roof with wind magic. It's not very thankful.

"No, no, it was good for me. I've been sick recently and it's hard to get up on the roof.

An uncle who always brings vegetables and hands them.

"Oh, thank you very much!"

I am pushed by the momentum and receive vegetables in my arms.

Aisha also had an apple.

"see you later!"

Then the uncle was satisfied and pulled the cart again and walked away.

I think that this kind of exchange was a long time ago, probably because I was living at the magical school in the royal capital a while ago.

"... I've got a good souvenir to go to Aldo's house. There's a pumpkin and let Flora make pumpkin soup."

"That's right."

Aisha and I started laughing like that.

◆

Then, when I and Aisha were heading to Aldo's house, a number of villagers spoke to me.

Do you have any trouble, are you eating good food, or come and stay at our house.

It is rare for a village to call out to a stranger so closely. Most villages are closed and create a barrier to the outsider, but the villagers of Nordende are different.

Warm and gentle. They worry outsiders like me.

Adults sometimes feel ashamed because they treat me like a cute child, but I was so glad to be really concerned about that.

Everyone is like a family. I feel calm just by staying here.

The lonely life in the royal city, which has no connection at all, is the difference between cloud and mud.

The nature is rich and the flowers are blooming and beautiful. The food is delicious, the villagers are calm and the clothes are fashionable.

"... I like Aldo and know why he lived here."

"... What happened suddenly?"

Aisha, walking next to her, makes a suspicious voice, as if her voice had leaked.

I laughed a little shy.

"I thought Nordende was a good village."

"so"

As I walked, feeling the sight of the village, I saw the house where Aldo and Flora live.

Around the house there are fields growing vegetables, and Aldo and Flora care for the crops.

"Look, Aldo-san! This green bean is so big!"

"Oh, it's true. It's bigger than others!"

Invited by Flora, Aldo moves through the fields and the two watch the crop as they snuggle.

"It seems that this child alone would be harvested tomorrow."

"But I also want to see how big this guy is ..."

"I understand how it feels, but if it gets too big it will make it thinner, and it may even take away the nutrients of other green beans."

"That's no good. I'm sorry, let's harvest this green beans tomorrow."

"is not it"

Flora and Aldo smile with a smile.

Aldo's smile was a happy expression she had never seen before in her adventure life.

The day before yesterday, there was such a case, but now peaceful.

Despite all the fuss, Aldo and Flora seemed to be closer together.

"... I was expecting, but they seemed to be much hotter."

"It looks like that."

I guess they talked about the past. How they were born and raised and how they thought and acted. If you discuss them, it's only natural that your thoughts will deepen.

They are both really happy. I'm glad to be with each other, and I can see at a glance that I like the other person.

Looking at them with a smile, Aisha next to me gazes at me.

"... is Kourne good?"

"e?"

I do not understand the meaning of Aisha's words, and I utter a sulking voice.

"... I'm Flora's childhood friend, and I've been watching them until they get together. So I don't really want to say anything that would be a mess to Flora ..."

No, he probably did. Perhaps because Aisha's straight-balled words pierced his chest, I couldn't answer properly.

"... I'm so lonely when I look at them ...

Aisha told me to hold my hand to check my expression.

For some reason, a transparent droplet was faintly leaking from my eyes.

You have to tease quickly and say, "I don't know." No more, no more ...

"... Courne also likes Aldo."

I was told. I was understood.

I have to admit that.

"Ah, did you get bored? Aisha is sharp for her slobular personality."

"... Is that so? If you look at the reaction when you first met, I think everyone can understand it."

With a bitter smile, I wipe the tears oozing out of my eyes.

When I started crying here, I felt it was really bad. I felt that my strong will was broken.

Aisha waits for me to calm down, then opens her mouth again.

"Is it okay?"

"Good. I don't have that qualification."

"... what is your qualification?"

"I couldn't get along when Aldo was in the toughest time. When Aldo was suffering, I decided that he would be able to stand up as before and prioritized his dream ... … "

Sometimes it was too late to notice my true feelings. But Aldo is one person. Even if he can kill the dragon, it will not change.

After all, I only saw him at Aldred, the dragon killer.

Where we were, it was natural that Aldo couldn't laugh with such a natural look.

"I don't have any qualifications for such a woman to convey her feelings anymore. I guess you can't put it between those happy people, right?"

I say with a radiant smile as much as I can to avoid Aisha.

"... maybe."

Aisha hears my words and responds vaguely.

That ambiguous reply was a pleasure right now.

"... Is it awkward to live in both Aldo and Kurune? What is it? All A-rank adventurers live in such a relentless way?"

"Hey, it's really surprising to be with Aldo!"

"I'm together, together.

When I shouted to protest, Aisha walked out of his way.

"Oh! Aisha and Kurune!"

Aldo and Flora look back here as we hear our loud conversation.

whatever. Let's spend all this fun time now.
