I sent Kyle to Lauren's house and immediately ran to my house.

The sun is leaning and the sky is dyed red.

Hunting was rarely such a time. And this time, not the usual forest, but a mountain in the back where many demons live.

Flora may be more concerned than usual, as she has not yet returned home and reported her safety.

When I imagine Flora, my chest seemed to be tight.

After getting out of the center of the village where people gather, a single road leads to the flower garden.

I'm running at full speed as popularity has diminished.

As I walked through the tree-lined streets, I finally saw my house.

It should have been a short time because I was running at full power, but it seems that it took a long time.

In a hurry, I couldn't follow the road, and when I cut through the grassland, I saw Flora and Aisha outside the house.

"So, if you're okay, wouldn't Aldo be injured by a demon opponent, even if your companion didn't rely on you?-You know he's an adventurer and Flora."

"That might be the case, but it's already this time? It's usually time to return. Maybe you've injured your leg like Lauren ...!"

"I know you're worried when you see Lauren's injury, but you think too badly because you're hunting a lot of prey and it's taking a long time to carry it. Isn't it taking time? "

"... I see. I hope it is."

Flora and Aisha snuggle up looking at the flower garden with anxiety while talking like that.

After all, Flora seemed very worried.

Listening to the conversation between them, I can not stand and I call from a distance.

"flora!"

"The voice of Aldo-san! Aisha, where is Aldo-san?"

"Calm down. I don't know what, but it's not the flower garden but the back."

"Is it behind !?"

Aisha told me that Flora looked back.

Flora was anxious, but when she saw it firmly, she smiled at ease.

I head straight under the flora.

"I'm sorry, Flora. I had to send Kyle home and it was late.

"... I'm a little worried, but I'm good. For me, I'm most glad I came back safely."

Flora greets you warmly without complaining that she was very worried.

I'm glad of its kindness, but I can't afford it.

"Thank you, Flora. I'll definitely report you safe next time."

"Yes!"

Flora laughed a bit surprised when she uttered her vows to govern her sweet heart.

"... Somehow, I'm totally in the way."

Aisha says she is a little messed up as she smiles with Flora.

"I'm sorry, Aisha! I'm going to do that!"

"It's good, it's good. Even if you're a close friend in front of your lover, it's secondary."

It sounds like a joke, but it's more crazy than I thought.

He must have been near Flora, who was nervous. The moment I come back, I feel like I'm forgotten if I'm treated as if forgotten.

"For me, Aisha is also an irreplaceable best friend! Don't say that!"

"Well, just a joke. I don't think it's that cold!"

"really?"

"Because it's true"

Aisha was going to tease the flora a little irritably.

However, she seems to be shy at Flora's heartfelt words.

The conversation between the two was smiling, and I was staring at Aisha when I was laughing and watching.

"... What are you laughing about, because if Aldo came out before departure, I didn't even have to calm Flora?"

"regretting"

When it is said, there is no sound.

I'm grateful to Aisha, given that she was near Flora, who was uneasy.

"Aisha, thank you for being with me, why don't you eat at dinner?"

"... I'm a happy invitation, but I'm not a woman who can't read the air enough to bother me here. I'll come to eat again, so please have some rice at that time."

Aisha tells him so he turns his back and walks south.

She always skips the job, she is sloppy, but in such a case she is cool and dependable.

Flora asks herself while looking up here.

"Um, Aldo. How was Kyle?"

"I'm not hurt and I've hunted the rabbit just fine. I think it's alright."

I can't say that the fear of monsters has been completely eliminated, but at least I don't think I'll be able to enter the forest as before and not shrink.

And the fear that he was afraid deep inside and that he was thrown away by Loren would have cleared up exactly.

"Is that so? It was really nice."

Briefly giving a brief overview, Flora was relieved.

Flora was quite worried about Kyle. I'm glad that I was safe.

"Um, Aldo"

"Hmm?"

When he was called and turned around, Flora leaned forward and hugged him.

A soft and sweet scent ticks through the nostrils, giving a warm, soft body temperature.

Put your arms around your back to catch Flora's body.

When she feels warmth for a while, her flora buried in her chest looks up and smiles.

"Welcome home"

"Yeah, right now"

The exchange of short words without any sense.

But it made me realize that the word was my place to go.
