"--Oniichan is over there!"
I woke up hearing Nicolas from afar. Looks like I fell asleep a little bit.
I don't think I can wake up at the time I thought when I consumed a lot of magic anyway. When I opened my eyes with my back as I did when I slept, the night sky in front of me was completely overcast.
Wake up and turn your face towards the voice. I saw Nicolas and Celine walking towards us. A magical sphere of light floats over their heads.
"Oh, I'm looking for you because you're not coming back, but you've gotten along a lot with Esther."
Hmm?
Celine looks next to me and talks. Behind Celine's gaze, Esther slept neatly. Someday you'll be connected to me. In the end, Estelle fell asleep with me.
The footbaths felt so good that I went to bed without thinking deeply, but when I thought about it, there was nothing to do if I went to bed. I may have done something wrong. Nicolas sent me an exciting message when I was reflecting like that.
Oniichan, did you drop the ester next!? That's oniichan. You're getting a lot of spots! I'm craving it!
It's not like that. I'm just a friend. "
After returning the conversation lightly, I let go of the tied hands and gently shaken Esther's shoulders. With all due respect, my shoulders were much thinner and more luxurious than I imagined, and I hesitated just to shake them lightly.
As soon as Esther woke up, she stared at me blurrily.
"Estelle, I'm sorry I went to bed just to rest."
"Phew... is that, Marc? Oh, I'll lie down with you....."
When Esther woke up and looked around, she suddenly jumped out of the footbath. The footbaths bounce with a recoil.
"It's dark! Is that it? Celine's here too, good evening! Sorry I'm late for dinner! I'll pick you up tomorrow morning! Bye!"
When he said that, he ran barefoot with his boots and knee socks in his hand and quickly disappeared from sight. Is it okay to run barefoot?... but I seem to be okay somehow.
"I'm not busy with Estelle at all. So, Marc, we're going to dinner too ~"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I'm late. I think I slept too well."
"Fufu, don't worry about it. I could have waited a little longer, but my mom was hungry ~"
While talking to Celine, pull your feet out of the cold water and wipe your wet feet with a towel. My feet were completely wrinkled with moisture. As soon as I got up in my shoes, I noticed Celine's costume.
"What? Celine, have you changed?
I think it was my usual black dress when I went out in the afternoon, but now I sometimes see it in a white dress.
"Eh, yeah... I haven't worn it since I've been here, so I just wanted to put it through my sleeve."
"Bhiun!
Suddenly Nicola blew out.
"It's cold and I'm freaking out!
Nicolas grabbed her arm and wrapped it around Celine's waist and shouted, "Yes or no?" My eyes are swimming and it kind of stinks.
"Oh, yeah, it's getting a little cold, so let's hurry home ~"
I've kept you waiting for dinner, and can I spray water when I get back? When I nodded to Celine, I approached them in a rush.
――――――
"Ugh, Marc, it's too late. My stomach and back are starting to stick together."
Opening the front door, Eclaine sharpens her lips as she lays her chin on the table. It seems that the person who said it would be fine if he could drink alcohol waited without even drinking alcohol.
When I apologize to Eclain, I decide to get the food out of the item box. Let's do my father's cooking with an apology in mind.
"Even so, you've gotten along with Esther a lot ~"
Celine talked to me while eating my dad's special hamburger. Incidentally, Eclain drinks deliciously on a dish made with salt from a tentacle.
"Yeah, I'm a friend now."
"Oh, really? I was a little worried that Esther didn't have any friends of my age. I'd be relieved if Marc made friends with me ~"
"Hello, Estelle has been practicing alone for a long time, so I thought she didn't want any friends, but she was a child of her age. Ufufu, I was about to attack the" masculine ester "."
Celine exhales lightly as Eclaine smells her face with the salt-baked tentacles in her mouth.
"Well, from what I've seen, there was a boy who wanted to approach you with his nose stretched out. He could have stopped coming around unconsciously, because he knew that right away."
This is what Esther told me, but it seems that Esther's generation was full of boys and not a single girl. In addition to being originally a small village, the birth rate of half elves is not so high, and it seems that the gender bias of children often occurs in this way.
"Estelle is about to leave the village and become an adventurer, and it might be nice to have friends of the same generation before that. Marc, don't get along with Estelle."
"Yes, of course. Since Nicolas is going to Esther's house tomorrow, I will often meet her with her and get along with her."
Ugh, are you working from tomorrow...
Nicolas sent me a low voice. Speaking of which, I haven't reported it properly yet.
I had my holiday on Wednesday. Do your best to reassure your mother. "
Wednesday?... in the meantime, why don't you take tomorrow off and take three consecutive days off?
Even if you stretch it out, it won't be rock 'n 'roll... I'll follow you, so give up and work hard. "
Gunnu...... I want to complain, but I can't complain about the exquisite spoiled condition of Wednesday off...! What a strategist...!
While saying that, Nicolas looked at me with resentment and put a hamburger in her mouth. Nicolas' eyes melted instantly. Father's handmade hamburgers are amazing.
――――――
After finishing my father's full course of cooking and taking a break, I decided to spend some time at Celine's house.
Well then, let's go home. See you tomorrow. "
"Marc, are you sure?
Celine lowers her eyebrows worriedly, but I answer with a laugh.
"Haha, it's okay. Bye bye ~"
Babba-ai
You'd better go home in a hurry. I waved to Celine and Eclaine and walked out the front door. --Stay with Nicolas.
Button and the door closed, and I sent a message to Nicolas next door.
"What? Nicola, aren't you staying at Celine's house?
Nicolas answers flatly without changing her expression.
No, I was going to stay at oniichan's house from the beginning? I told Celine. "
Uh, why?
