He tied his hands one by one to each and walked around the square in jealous gaze. After buying various items, he broke up with Esther.

As they stopped to see Esther off, they saw her being spoken to by a young man in the village for a short while.

Oh, the ester is numbered. What do you think, oniichan? Are you worried?

It's decided. What am I supposed to do, say it out loud? "

Oops!? Did oniichan's desire for exclusivity grow a while ago? What a pleasure this is! Tonight is red rice!

Well, I mean, exclusiveness, Estelle is too defenseless for her friends. Didn't I tell you we took a bath together? I'm worried about making other heterosexual friends in my current state. "

"Kh...! Even though you still won't bathe with me, I can't believe you brought up that story... Are you proud again? Aren't you proud?

"What is it? That's the one who persistently asked me out at that time...."

While I was talking about it, it seems that the young man was shaken, and his knees fell and drooped. I don't know what they said, it looks like a terrible depression.

And Esther looked back at us and came back to us again.

"Esther, what's wrong?

Hmm? I don't know, but I just wanted to be a little more with Marc. Can't I...?

What, you're scared of that young man? But it even looked like a normal Nanpa.

"Then let's send Estelle home first, oniichan!

"Eh, okay?

When Esther answered Nicolas's suggestion, Nicolas nodded loudly and turned to me.

"Isn't that nice? Oniichan"

"Eh, ahh, yeah. Fine."

Thank you, Marc, Nicolas.

When Esther grabbed my hand again, she felt relieved and smiled as usual.

"Gufu, you've got about three friends. Now the day is approaching when I can be Esther's friend."

Are friends a point system?

"Yes, I still need to earn points for a while now, as I may still be" embarrassed to go home with you and get rumors from my friends... "

I see. Good luck with that..... "

I also took Nicolas's hand, and the three of us walked out to Esther's house again.

――――――

After sending Esther home, she spent some time at home, visited Celine's house at noon, and had lunch with the usual four.

I noticed that Celine looked tired, but she cut me out before I asked her after dinner.

"Marc, let's stop the magic supply today."

"That's fine, but what can I do for you?

Celine nodded tirelessly at my question.

"Yes, of course. I'm going hunting."

Nice Buddy's Sister Hunting? I'm a pure love type, so let's go. "

Because it's definitely a different guy. Or do you want to go hunting rats?

After I gave Nicolas a cold look, I asked Celine.

"What happened to hunting all of a sudden?

"There's a village harvest festival coming up soon. It's a festival where everyone in the village brings in and eats in the square, but Deal told me to go hunting because you didn't do anything ~"

Celine continued her words with her cheek wand as she noticed.

"I wasn't going to participate in the Harvest Festival, so I was going to pull myself into the house. But Deal says he's going hunting down the river. That would be a good experience for you, and I agreed to the two of you."

I see. This is Celine's tired face, and the mood of Deal I just saw was the best.

"What are you going to hunt across the river for?

"There's a bird monster called Yayokedori. As the name suggests, avoiding arrows is a good bird. Well, I can guess, but the fire arrows will burn the woods, right? I'm sure you want to show me something good that I can't handle, Deal."

Céline answered with a lot of wrinkles between her eyebrows. Deal doesn't look so bad to me anymore, but Celine still hates it. This must be the difference between me and Celine, who has been insisting on seeing a rare beast for years.

"But it's for your sake to see his magic. He seldom hunts in his usual roundabout work, so watch and learn.

I know you hate it, but you took it for me. We must work hard to meet our expectations.

When I finished talking, I suddenly heard a pounding sound, and the door opened momentum faster than we could respond.

"Oh, Celine, I'm here!

Deal, who had been at the centre of the conversation until recently, came in through the front door. Deal hesitates to look around the house.

"It's as cramped and painful as ever! Hurry up and marry me! Fuhaha!"

The wrinkles between Celine's eyebrows became deeper. Oh, Celine. I get a habit of wrinkles when I only have that kind of face.

That's what I used to say in front of the landlord ~

Eclaine murmured as she ate the fried beans, but she didn't seem to care enough. Then he picks one of the fried beans and talks to Deal.

"Welcome, Deal. By the way, could you tell me to shake your fried beans with more salt? It's not spicy enough."

"Hmm, I'll tell the people in the house. Let's go, Celine! Kids!"

In Deal's words, Celine waved her hand to drive the dog away with her mouth crossed.

"I see. I'm going to get ready, so wait outside."

"Okay, I'll wait outside! You better get ready, huh?

He flipped his strange green cloak over to the faster, and Deal went outside.

"Noisy man. That's it!"

When Eclaine began pouring the grapefruit she had taken out into the glass, Celine shrugged her shoulders and stood up from the chair.

"Oh dear, I'll be ready to go. Marc, Nicola."

"Yes."

When Nicolas and I spoke together, we took out the cloak and leather shoes that Grandpa had given us from the item box for the first time in a long time.
