On his way home, after dropping his pants and winning a duel with Jack, he stopped by the usual empty space to refill the fields with mana, harvest the magic tomatoes, and then return home.
I'm home.
Instead of the entrance to the inn, say "come in" from the back entrance and put the magic tomato in the basket that was placed in the corner. My mother, who was helping my father in the kitchen, came.
"Welcome back, Marc, Nicolas. How was school?
Yeah, it was fun.
"Mom, I'm home!
Nicolas is sweet with a hug on her waist.
"I'll talk to you at dinner. Can I help you?
I don't want to make you worry about the duel with Jack by being stupid and honest. Talking is of course something other than Jack.
"Well, I'm almost done with my dad's cooking... will you come with Nicolas and wipe the dining room table?
"Yes, Nicola, let's go."
In this world, when you are six years old, it is calculated as a labor force to some extent. Nevertheless, we also go to church school and have a lot of time to play. Help itself is easy.
I think it's okay to call this Enjoy Strength as a child labor force, but of course there are some gay children who do not attend church school. I personally think it is better to get an education at a young age, but there are circumstances in each family. I can't thank my parents enough for thinking so.
When I entered the dining room with a wet cloth in one hand, a guest sat at the table before the evening bell rang. He wipes the empty table and then lowers the empty plate from the table where the customer is.
Our tranquil pavilion is basically only for lodging and breakfast, but lunch and dinner are served at a separate rate in the restaurant on the ground floor. It's not as big as the neighborhood's tavern, and there's not a lot of menu, but it's flourishing with people whose father grabbed their stomach and guests who have trouble eating outside.
"Oh, Marc, welcome back ~"
A woman in a black dress with open chests called out to me. An adventurer, Celine, who was out of town about three days ago with a merchant escort.
"Hello Celine. You're back."
Celine has been based in the town of Fathia since she took a bath here. The gravity of the bath is amazing.
"It's a nearby village. It's about a one-way trip a day. It's like this."
The feeling of the previous life hasn't faded yet, because it only takes a day to get a ride in a nearby village. The only way to get around quickly is by carriage. The guard seems to have walked in the first place, so it's hard.
I can't help but recall that I was walked for nearly half a day in the black company's onboarding training of the previous life. You know, when people who don't usually walk that much suddenly walk a long distance, they lose the feeling of the soles of their feet. The next day, of course, it'll be muscle pain hell.
"Well, I got a reward, and I'm going to take a slow drink and take a bath and go to bed today. It's no exaggeration to say you're already alive for this ~"
When I remembered the trauma of my previous life, I returned to me with the voice of Celine. I don't recommend taking a bath after drinking alcohol, but don't say hard things.
Incidentally, when I saw Celine using it, there were other customers who were interested in the bath, but occasionally they paid two silver coins for the rarity of things, so Celine became a regular customer.
It may be because the bath culture is not rooted in the beginning, or it may be because cleaning is troublesome and the price is rising.
It was Celine who set the higher price, but she usually gets two silver coins from Celine who gets along with various people every time. This made me feel kind of backward, so I forced it to be a regular service, so I suggested a price reduction for one silver coin and pushed it.
Well then, I'll clean the bathtub later and put only water in it. Be careful not to sleep in the bath. "
"Yes, yes, you're really solid. Speaking of which, it was a church school today, right? Anyway, Nicola was a popular guy and it was tough, wasn't it?
Celine said as she wiped the table and looked at Nicolas, who was passionate about her guests.
"I'll tell you what I saw. That's right, if Nicolas was invited by another group and refused, they'd say a duel, and it was tough."
I didn't tell my parents about Jack, but I think it's good to tell Celine. Rather, I wanted Celine to ask me how to dress my child. So I explained it to Celine without covering it up.
"Bfufu! I can't move and I'm full!? Interesting thing to do!
"I thought that was the best way to let him surrender so he wouldn't get hurt. That's good, right?
"Hmm, I wonder. I think I could have hurt you a little bit. It's better not to rot."
That's what the sword and magic world is all about: Violence. Different quality.
"But if it's encapsulated by magic, you've experienced the difference in character. You can't beat a general kid around here. Why don't you be a big parent to the kids in this town?
She answered Celine with a small exhalation in a teasing tone.
"I'm not interested, and I'm good enough to be a delicate parent."
All you have to do is live a peaceful school life with nothing going on. Leaving Celine shrugging her shoulders, I went back to help the house.
――――――
After wiping the table, I decided to clean the outside of the inn.
Sweep around the entrance to the inn. Although there was no noticeable debris because my mother usually cleaned it, leaves and branches were still flowing in the wind from nearby trees. Ah, I found a skewer of grilled skewers.
As I gathered them in a jar, I saw Jack walking over here. Next door are boys around the age of 15 who I've never seen before. When Jack and I met, Jack pointed at us.
Brother, it's him.
The boy nodded and approached me with Jack.
"Hey, you're Mark. I'll be right there. Can you lend me your face?"
Um, is this a thank you?
