Free Life ~Record of the Struggle of a Different World General Merchant~

There used to be a dark-haired witch there.

A witch who tramples on human dignity in exchange for wisdom, sometimes turning a naughty boy into a devil's minion. Both the Elves and the Necromancer [Wraith] were supposed to be nesting in the basement of the Royal Library and repeating suspicious experiments overnight.

The screams of monsters come from deep inside the earth. The chimney suddenly continued to spit out purple smoke. The extreme was the witness testimony of the apprentice librarians, who said, "I saw a spider-like anomaly" and "I saw a long black-haired grievance spirit", and they pulled out their hips on the spot.

The people of King's Landing will no longer have a restful night. The continent's Gran Feria is eroded from its center as if it were twitching and black dyed. Eventually, the black-haired witch crawled out of the underground and was even said to bring a great disaster to the earth.

Why is it that such a story about Yota has become inaudible at some point?

In the basement of the Royal Library, where it used to be awe-inspiring, it is now filled with gentle air and soft lights. It was usually dim everywhere, but the essential witch's dwellings, off-limits compartments, etc. had changed their appearance considerably.

(Hmmm...)

You go underground in the library, looking around. Stone pathways, magic stone lighting, and the entrance to the library lined up aside... aren't much different than they used to be.

(After all, this is the place.....)

Greet the guard and enter the restricted area. Then the view changed dramatically, and what a thing to say, there was a small hall in the back.

It feels like a hall in a library. While I felt uncomfortable that there was such an ordinary facility here, I tried to continue,

Hey, thanks for coming.

A girl reading a book in the corner of the hall looked up at us. The black-haired elf, who smiles kindly, wears glasses, a white coat, and is dressed like a doctor.

It has the appearance of a library witch, Eru, but the small "Dr. Chibiko", whose back length is only good--

After all, she laughed happily and called out to me.

"I've been waiting for you, Dad."

My fifth child, Noel Mill Uluru, is eight years old.

She's mine and Elu's... yes, that Elu's... that Elu!? The experimental monster named after the dark-haired spirits Mad Scientist and Elf has just recently trapped me and made me feel like I'm leaving the Phantom Body with a suspicious medicine...!

Dad?

"Ha...!?"

It seemed like she was lightly conscious in her most recent trauma. Noel gently touched my arm, and I quickly returned to my sanity.

"What's the matter?" Suddenly, I'm dizzy. "

"No, no, it's nothing." It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. "

"Is that so...?"

My daughter looked up at me with a strange face. His face was still the same as Eru's, but this time, the San value was not sharp.

(Huh...)

Wipe off the cold sweat while regaining consciousness. It would have been dangerous if there was a black-haired witch, but I could only see myself and my daughter here.

(Noelle)

I'll think about Dr. Chibiko again. She's mine and Elu's... yes, that Elu's... that Eru's...!!

(That's enough!!)

I put in my own reviews and then try to regain my temper. There seemed to be a strong sense of resistance, and I couldn't quite admit that Noel was "me and Eru's daughter".

(But, well)

You're sure he's my kid. There was a lot of blood coming out of her mother's blood all the way to the race, but the color of her eyes and the habit of her hair looked just like my father.

(In this case, my hair is too long and it's hard to notice....)

There is a crack and it is stretching to the waist and it is very serious. The swaying black hair looked like a caterpillar from a distance, and when it rained, it spread out and became more and more difficult.

(I wish I was about to hang up.)

Although I think so, it seems that Noel is also a girl.

Is this the end of my thinking?

"Ahh!"

After being lightly questioned, I was once again returning to my senses.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I was a little out of my mind."

"It's normal, though." When I come here, my dad often comes to me with thoughts. "

Saying that, Noel giggles happily. The girl, who showed a frivolity appropriate to her age, however, immediately began to say that she stood on the road with a serious face.

"It's okay if I keep observing my dad like this." Don't you think it would be good to spend more time meaningfully on your holiday? "

"Well... that's right. I'm sorry."

“You don't have to apologize. That's what I'm saying on my own."

No, but...

"It's okay, it's okay." Come on, follow me. I want to show you something today. "

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

He suddenly pulls his hand back and walks forward in a pinch. When I saw the little girl who walked hard with her back to me, I was once again drowning in my thoughts.

(me and Elu's kid, huh?)

This time, I was able to admit that I was so uncomfortable. Yes, Noel was definitely born between me and Eru. I don't really want to talk about the birth history... but... well, there are a lot of things that have come into being and have grown so quickly.

Noel was born a genius.

What a past experience of speaking fluent human language in my first year of life.

The first cry was, "Will you change the diapers for me?" The second voice says, "I feel bad because I'm steaming."

(I thought you had a reasonably sharp eye)

Rather, it wasn't the baby's eyes. I felt a lot of discomfort in the expression of watching the surroundings and the lack of blinking.

(Nevertheless)

Unexpectedly, Eru's daughter grew up to be a pretty good girl. I respect the rules and morals, and unlike my parents, I seem to be working on a serious discipline.

This expansion was also due to Noel's work. The current hall was connected to the workshop, the herb garden, the mushroom garden, and so on, all of which were augmented by Eru's achievements and her daughter's advice.

Probably one of those facilities will be on the way. Having been authenticated with a silver card, Noel pulls my hand and walks into the sliding door.

After a while, the unexpected scenery spread through the passage.

"Oh, oh...!"

I unintentionally leaked my groan. A cylindrical cistern was lined up at the end of the line of sight, and a large one was embedded near both walls, with a diverse herd of fish swimming.

It's like an aquarium.

I feel like I've changed my mind or my air has changed to something like that. I'm sure he's adjusting the humidity and temperature with a magical tool, but I didn't know exactly what he was doing.

"You've built quite a big facility..."

"This is how many rooms were needed for the study of aquatic life."

Fufu smiled and Noel approached the nearby tank. When I was caught and headed for you, my daughter introduced me to the gray fish with a slightly good look on her face.

"Does my dad know this fish? I think it is a common species in various parts of the country."

"Ah, well, I know. You can't eat it whether it's simmered or grilled, right?"

"That's what they say." It seems that's why they hate the strange smell..... "

“But?

Actually, I found that the smell had a powerful negative effect.

"Whoa!?"

It's true. When I hit a monster with a concentrate, it was visible and debilitating. Depending on the opponent, it could be defeated as it is.

"Isn't that poison...?"

"Maybe that's what happens in the end." But it's less effective against humans. I don't think I'd be desperate if I didn't have a sharp sense of smell and a certain level of low-level opponent. "

"Heh..."

I was purely admired and let out a dumb voice. "I can understand if you're researching rare fish, but I can't believe the world is investigating what is treated as garbage..."

"I wonder if the fish here is similar." The skin was thick, the scales were stiff, and even though he was said to smell meat, he was a nuisance.... "

"Who is it?".

"It seems that the bone marrow has a special medicinal effect." We're still in the middle of a clinical trial, but I think it'll help heal old wounds. ”

"Are you serious...?"

Seriously, I think I can even cure a knee with an arrow.

"Ahhhh...!"

That sounds like a retired adventurer. The Knights and Mercenaries seem to be in high demand, so maybe this is going to be a big hit?

(mumble)

Looks like Noel has built up more credit than I could ever imagine. That's why it's an extension of the building, which is probably why it's equipped, but now I feel like I'm amazed by the facilities.

I think I can get another room right away.

I was thinking about half the joke, but...

Well then, let's go next.

Huh? Next?

"Yes, next time." In fact, there's a zoo next door. "

"Hee......... errrr!?"

Instead of being able to do it right away, it was already made!

Apparently, my perception was pretty sweet. Withdrawn in amazement, there was indeed a small zoo waiting beyond the aisle and the other road.

Gah! Gah!

Horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Kaho, Hoho, Hoho"

A boxy garden high in the air, where a wide variety of animals could be seen.

Is it connecting to the earth and capturing the sun's rays? They play with monkeys, birds, and squirrels in the sunshine.

(They all seem to be small animals.)

Isn't there enough room for a large animal? I could see the eagle turtle walking in the field of view, but it felt like a special frame.

"We're studying the role of small animals."

"Hmm? Not a Tame Monster... but a Tame Beast?"

"I wonder if that will happen." See, it's known that witches use cats, crows, and owls to demonize, right? If I could manipulate wild animals with that application... no, I thought it would be quite convenient if I could share my senses. "

"Sensory sharing is, for example, visual sharing?"

“That's right, it could be a good place to eavesdrop.”

I see.

If wild creatures can scout their surroundings, that might be useful.

As expected, I didn't think it would be as good as my advanced professional skills, but I couldn't help but admire the readiness that I could use on the spot, and the flexibility that I could use in a magic position.

"I've also tried other things like changing shapes, granting magic, and enforcing orders." Ah, no, the last noise might have sounded good, but I didn't do anything that scary ".

"I know."

"Nnh... that's fine then"

I gently stroke my daughter, who suddenly began to panic. With narrow eyes, Noel relaxed his shoulders and sat down on a bench nearby.

"...... can you stroke me a little bit more?"

"Yes, yes."

I sat next to Noel with a bitter smile. The little animals around were staring at me interestingly as I began to stroke my daughter.

"I think you know..."

Yeah.

"Unlike my mother, I believe in 'narrow and deep'."

That's right.

"I think it's a fine posture to 'broaden', 'remain interested' and 'gradually perpendicular to the hand'......"

…………

After all, it seems that it would be more appropriate for me to delve into fewer subjects.

Having said that, Noel took out a book from nowhere. It was very similar to the Atwiki I had, but if I looked closely, the details were different, similar and non-existent.

This book that I inherited from my dad, you can [analyze] if you pinch the subject with it, right?

Noel closed the book in a flash as the bird rode in. Then, when I opened the page again, I found that the information of the small bird was written in detail with an illustration.

Depending on the researcher's ability to covet. However, her daughter seemed somewhat unhappy, and when she hit the book, she released the bird from the page.

"But, look, [Analyze] only provides basic information." I don't know how to use it until I look into it. "

"Instead...."

"I'll add what I've demonstrated." The contents of the atlas will be enriched. And it's my joy, and it's probably my guide to life. "

Noel, an eight-year-old child who speaks with a serious expression. The Elves have many times the life expectancy of humans, but that's probably why they needed something central in their lives.

“I'll finish my own atlas. It's a slow pace, and sometimes you don't know what you're doing.”

"Don't worry about it." I and your mother... we're all in favor of that. "

"If you understand... that's fine."

With words, Noel leaned towards me. Tenderly accepting the little body, I begin to stroke the black-haired elf again.

The zoo was someday filled with calm silence. A breeze blows out of nowhere, and Noel turns the page of the book on his lap, making a paranoid sound.

Feeling that sound somewhere far away, I sank into a slumber with my daughter...

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool!

Ah!?!!!!

"Ah, ahhh...! Come out!" Early out of Kukokokara!!

"............?!"

{Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kono Prison Kara Exodus Niha, the surrounding houses Goto Gureno Flame Debugging Deng '

Tantrum.

Noel closed the picture book and disappeared. Then the voice suddenly subsided, and countless hands that were trying to crawl out of the page disappeared into magic.

All that's left is me with my eyes rounded. Noel's expression was always the same, and on the contrary, she had tilted her neck.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

"Huh? Ah, no...?"

"I don't think there was anything in particular?"

”Shhhhhhh!!”

I put a fat tsukumi in my daughter's face, trying to deceive her by force.

Now, in such a way, the time in the library quickly passed.

It's about twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Once we were back in the hall... we were unlucky enough to run into a black-haired witch.

"Grrrr, Errr"

He must have been doing some research or something in another room. As usual in white, but with short hair, Elu stands holding the document.

Isn't he aware of us? Then, fortunately, I tried to pull out my legs and head towards the exit.

Taka Hiro-kun.

"Ugh!?"

"What's going on here?" I don't think I ever asked you for a job. "

"Uuuu...!"

"I've been completely noticed..."

Well, that's exactly what you noticed. With a sigh, I reluctantly headed towards Eru.

Hello

"Oh. So? What can I do for you?"

”I don't have it for you... but you've decided to spend time with my daughter, right?”

“Oh, that's right. It was Noel's turn today.”

Just in order. They showed me a new facility.

“That's good. Keep up the good work and get closer to your daughter."

(Uuuu.....)

Even though it's natural over there, I can't help but get a little ticklish. I'm not so bad at consciousness, but do you really think I can recall trauma?

Ah, Sayama-san! You seemed like you weren't there, were you?

Oh, oh, Serie. It's been a long time.

Yes, it's been a long time.♪

Cellier appeared from the workshop with the materials in his hand. The girl who used to be a runaway has now grown into a fine research assistant. Of course, both Noel and her acquaintances were laughing and calling out loud and clear to Noel, who was beside me.

"It's the first time Noel's been here in the morning." Are you enjoying your holiday with your father? "

“Of course, I have a very meaningful time. From now on, I can go home and cook for my dad.”

"Wow, that's nice ~. Good for you, Noel-chan?"

Yeah.

In response to Noel, who was somewhat good at it, Celier clapped in a small clap. It must be a nature that allows one's pleasure to be one's own. That's something I've known for a long time.

Sayama-san is still worth it, isn't she? You can't cook and behave properly without eating out. ”

"Hmm? Oh, no, that's not particularly bitter, is it?"

That's great ~. I would definitely like to apprentice that posture!

"Hah, hahaha..."

I was squeezed into a slightly high tension celier. Unaware of my appearance, the apprentice librarian, ah, no, the research assistant continues to talk.

"What do you do after dinner?" After all, a nap? "

"I guess so." It's possible, and above all, I want it. ”

"Don't you read books together?"

"I wonder if that's after nightfall. I'll let you slow down after dinner."

But that doesn't give you much time, does it?

"Oh, that's fine. I'll take a bath with my dad before I make dinner."

I see, I see ~

Fufufufufu

"............ Huh?"

The last question was, of course, my voice. Somehow, the conversation went on its own, but what? Is that a decision anymore?

No, you can't. It's time to take a bath by yourself.

"Huh...?"

The next question came from Noel's mouth. She looks at me as if I were an alien.

"You can't look like that." You're already a good year, so you should take a bath alone. "

Do so while being aware of being a parent. It won't be good to be a father for a long time, and even if you're a strange elf, there's always something in the world.

Thinking about it, I dared to throw Noel out.

My daughter's reaction was far from pleasant.

"No, no, that's weird. It can't have been in there until the other day."

It's just that I was ransacked.

"Parfait was forcefully accepted!" That big-body Krull! "

"Don't use someone younger than yourself as an example!"

"If we don't go in together, the fuel cost will be wasted...!"

“Errors, errors. Children care about that.”

"No, but...!"

Don't swallow it horribly. The persuasion while sweating cold is somewhere sneaky, usually cool Noel and the restless attitude,

(......!)

When I noticed it, Noel was flipping to the floor. I thought I slipped on my feet, but I didn't mean to jerk off my limbs and start abandoning them!

"No, ahhhhhhhhhh! No, no, no, no! You have to take a bath with me!!"

"Yeah, yeah...!?"

“You said you'd do anything for me today!”

"I didn't say that!?"

"BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The desperate resistance while gagging and crying was just a pretentious protest.

No, well, if this is still an act, I have specifications to deal with it, too.

It's all really happening, isn't it?

Yes, I could say that this was also Noel's nature.

Somehow, he's the kind of person who can control his emotions with reason.

If we don't diverge it regularly, it can explode like this. Once this happened, it was uncontrollable, and then, as Noel had said, there was no other way but to follow suddenly.

(No, but)

Every time I was pushed through with my hand, I also lost my parent standing on the leash,

”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

"Ugh..."

"I'm not loved by my dad, ahhhhhhhh! It's an abominable child who was born unwanted. Ahhhhhh!!"

"That's...!"

It was difficult for our parents and children to say that.

Dark basement. Suspicious chemicals. A looming Elu. I'm numb and can't move. A suspicious magic circle was painted on her stomach as she swelled day by day, and this was also fetal education, and a suspicious spell was repeated overnight ─ ─.

At one point, he said, "Wouldn't it be better to kill Elu for the sake of humanity?" I was seriously worried. "At least it was difficult to say that it was a child born on the basis of consent, and that was the only point that I could not immediately deny Noel's words.

"Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! I'm a sinful child!"

At last, Noel fell into tears while he was wandering. The girl twitching on the floor in the hall, and the stinging gaze at me just looking at it is cold.

"Hey, you know, sometimes you do things like a parent."

(This guy...!!)

Though I think, Elu is the one who takes care of the usual clothes, food and shelter, so I can't say back.

"Sayama-san, why don't you just listen to Noelle this time...?"

Y-yeah, that's right.

“I think so too.”

"You guys have come out somewhere!!"

Ugh...! I heard the disturbance from the old guard and gathered here...!

Rather than the needle, I could only hold my forehead and close my eyes.

"... I understand."

"" What? ""

I'm going in. You can let me in, right?

"And I say...?"

"I'm going to take a bath with Noel! That's enough for today!"

"Father."

I nodded or no, and suddenly stood up.

Don't be angry with Noel like that. I'm the one who's blaming me for neglecting the interaction between my parents and children...! "

Things go smoothly while I tell myself. I said goodbye to Eru and went to the apartment near the library, where I had dinner and a nap, and then...

”Hmm, hmmm♪”

………………

Fufufufu♪, fufufu

………………

Fuufufufufu♪, fufufufufu

………………

In the bathroom, Noel's pleasant whisper was heard. Speaking of which, I'm just washing my daughter's hair, and I'm experiencing some really complicated emotions. It wasn't like a defeat, a blindness, at least it wasn't fun.

"Hey, after all, it's great to have my dad wash my hair. I usually wear magic, but I can't reproduce the delicate movement of a person's hand and its comfort."

Hello, thank you very much.

”Fufu, I'll wash your back later.”

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I knew Noel was in a good mood. What's so fun about it, I started whispering the melody again while hanging my legs.

After all, I can only wash my hair against such a girl...

"But as usual, it's an amazing amount." It takes a lot of effort just to wash it once. "

"Yeah, I guess so. No, no, it's going to take some time."

"It seems like it's going to be difficult to take a bath, and it's going to dry your hair in the first place."

It won't be over soon, will it? How long is it going to take? "

"...... I don't think so, but you're not stretching it for this purpose, are you?"

“I have no idea what you're talking about.”

"This guy...!"

For a moment, it was me who grabbed my dirty little girl,

"... haa"

I immediately took off my fist and started washing my daughter's hair again.

”Hmm, hmmm♪”

Fufufufu♪, fufufu

Fuufufufufu♪, fufufufufu

In the bathroom before the evening, the girl's whisper is heard. The foaming bubbles flew out of the window, and the smell of vanilla and berries was mysterious.

With all that, I felt weak.

(Before this happens, let's make time for parents and children.)

And I secretly decided to go ahead with Noel's father's departure.
