I talked to the resonance stone, looking sideways at Nicolas, who keeps playing the gat pose.

"... hey, Mom"

Yeah? Something, Mark.

"My acquaintance has a place like a morning market where he runs a vegetable shop. I'll ask you there."

Ha!? Oniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?

Nicolas made her smile strong and stared at me with her eyes wide open.

"Onii-chan...."

I apologize for what I said, but please, that's all... Please stop helping me every morning. "

Nicolas stood up from her chair and climbed onto me. I'll ignore it and tell my mother.

"It's a home where you cook vegetables every morning, so you'll get up early naturally, and I'm sure you'll teach me how to cook."

"Well, that doesn't look good for Nicola ~. Then I'll ask Marc. But I have to consult you so that it's convenient for you.

Of course, the barbecue shop is the Esther house. In fact, I may be rejected as needing help, but I think it is likely to be accepted.

Yesterday Estelle came to sell alone, but bartering is more laborious than paying for it. As a result, there was a fairly good queue at some point yesterday. Having come alone in such a situation means that there are jobs at home that cannot be let go. I answer my mother with confidence. [M]

Yeah, I'll take care of that.

After listening to the conversation between me and my mother, Nicola relaxed her arms and fell down on her knees.

"Nicola, do your best. Dad will test your cooking when you get home. Still, if your cooking skills aren't up... Mama's going to be so sad."

"Uh-huh. Nicola, I'll do my best....."

I told my mother that Nicola kept the item hanging. I feel a little sad watching you answer honestly and depressed, but it shouldn't be bad for Nicolas to be able to cook. I hope you forgive me for feeling a little refreshed.

"So, Marc, we're going to have a resonance stone at this hour tomorrow? So can I talk to you?

"Yeah, I can.... sorry, it's about time we ran out of magic, so I'll hang up around here today."

"Oh, I'll see you tomorrow. Ah, after all, you couldn't talk to your father today. I want you to talk to your father tomorrow."

When I heard that, the call was cut off when I was distracted. That was a tough day. It was mainly because of the long public conversation between my mother and Celine.

As she exhaled, Nicola stood up and stared at me with tears.

"Lurking....."

"Well, do your best not to betray your mother's expectations.

"Yeah.../(adv, adv-to) (on-mim) (on-mim) slowly..../"

"Oh, Nicola. Don't you like cooking practice? I get it. I know."

Eclaine, who was a little distanced from the conversation, held Nicolas up and stroked her head.

"Eclaine, will you take a nap with me now...?

"Okay, hey. Let's take a nap together. Ah, already... I can't help it, kid."

Looking up at the two of them, I saw Nicolas rubbing both of Eclaine's arms. Eclaine enters the bedroom with her eyebrows down and Nicolas in her arms. Nicolas sent me a message when I left.

"How dare you... let's admit our defeat today, free from Eclaine's slumpy mother. But I don't think I won. I'll try not to let my mom get mad at me with any hands.... ah, but it would be helpful if you could stop reporting it to mom..."

The door of the bedroom slams shut, leaving a sort of tight discarding dialogue. As I was watching it, I was hit in the head. With her face facing up, Celine, who stood up from her chair, looked down at me with a bitter smile.

"Already. You were going to spend three months in private with me from the beginning?

"I'm sorry. When I talked to Celine, they were going to say no, and I thought I'd better get permission from my mother first."

"That's right, I'm sure you didn't shake your neck vertically, even if you had consulted me earlier. I still think that my patience for three years is lighter than tying you up in the village for three months.... but thank you, Mark. I'm really glad you're worried about my portal stone."

Celine, who smiles softly, lifts me up like Eclaine did Nicolas. And he gently hugged my forehead and kissed me gently on my forehead.

At the same time as feeling the softness on her forehead, the scent of the woods softly spreads from Celine's chest to calm the feeling that she has smelled several times. Celine slowly lowered me to the ground in a quiet room that she had been holding on to my forehead for a while.

"Fufu. Here's your reward. I'll grow up even more ~"

Celine looked down at me and laughed at me with her arms crossed.... but, Celine... I don't think it's persuasive to grow up with such a bright red face.
