When I woke up, there was a cute sister's face in front of me.

"Good morning brother"

"Good morning"

Don't be surprised, it was a good sight when you were traveling.

It seems that Lutey at that time looked at my face all night, because he had nothing to do during the night.

I had suggested that I read a book or something, but I was reminded that it was something different to force reading because I was free even though I didn't feel like reading a book.

That's why during the night, I was free to make my routine free without waking me.

Rooty, sitting beside me, in a dark tent, leans a bit and looks at my face all night ... Imagine that.

cute!

Because you're staring at my face? I think that I can rely on it, my heart gets hot, and if I think Lutey stays with me all night, I feel calm, and I have a good dream.

When I told Tise and Uge Uge, she seemed very surprised. About two hours after that, Tise had a jerky movement like a bad golem, but what happened?

"brother"

"Oh, bad, it looks like you're still a little sleepy. I'm up now."

When I got up, Luti avoided it.

"Is sleep resistance restored yesterday?"

"Yeah, I want to look at my brother's face after a long time."

Looking through the window, I could see the morning view of the dim winter Zoltan. It's always time.

Litt asks a village some distance away to get herbs. You should have stayed overnight yesterday and be back around today's evening.

Originally I was supposed to go ...

"Thank you for keeping your promise."

Rooty said happily.

Today, he promised to guide Luti to the Minato ward of Zoltan.

Only on that day, an unusual medicinal herb substitute for blood needles was found, a cluster of "plant snakes". It seems that the damage has been done, so the adventurer will be asked, but it will probably be burned out.

Before that happens, I will defeat him first and bring it back .... When I was in trouble with the schedule I had promised before, Rit offered to go instead. .

"Oh, do you sometimes eat breakfast outside?"

"I like the dishes my older brother makes, but I'm also interested in Zoltan dishes."

I was glad and smiled.

I can hear "I'm interested" from Rooty's mouth.

When I gently stroked Lutey's head, Lutey first tilted her neck, then narrowed her eyes and looked comfortable.

The Zoltan Minato Ward is adjacent to the river.

Unfortunately, the Zoltans do not know the name of the river. I think maybe there was something in the wood elf days.

The half-elf elder said he felt like his grandparents' generation was reading under a name that started with mi. However, it seems that the river had various names depending on the place and time.

The river lit by the morning sun, the black river at night, the shining river in summer, and the clear river in winter all seemed to be called by different names. This is a tribal culture called wood elf, and from the idea that everything flows, it seems that the river is not always the same, but a completely different entity depending on the day and season.

On the other hand, the people who settled here and created the country called Zoltan, simply called "rivers". Rivers can be a huge boon to humans, but their names are for discrimination, and it's enough to know what they mean by "river".

Now that the Wood Elves are gone, I want to talk to them once.

There are no more wood elves, but the river is still here today. And we humans cannot live without rivers.

"And thanks to the river, you can eat the steamed pike."

The shops in Minato Ward are often used by port workers and sailors, and there are many fish soups that can be served immediately. However, this restaurant is a resting place for captains and navigators of anchored ships and serves a solid breakfast.

The pike is steamed using soup stock and enhances the refreshing taste of river fish. The marinade of onion is also served with the vinegar and onion flavor.

The bread is also soft white bread. I have been drinking wine since morning.

"delicious"

Rooty also enjoys cooking. It was good that they liked it.

"Minato-ku, yes, let's look at the marine products market. Then rent a sightseeing boat."

"Pleasure boat"

"Oh, there's a place to rent, so let's look at the Zoltan from the river."

"A boat alone with my brother ..."

Rooty looks down a little. The mouth stretches a little and the laughter leaks out.

"I'm so happy."

He looked up and said Luti's eyes were bright.

The marine goods market is very exciting when the ship comes. However, today the peddler who had visited the upstream village had returned by rowboat, and it was quiet.

"YoYakuya"

There was a call that stopped us walking the market.

A man with a slimy face was calling out. He is a man called Pasquale, a sideline navigator who works in this Minato Ward. Zoltan's unspoken rule is that he doesn't look into the past of migrants, although he looks like a man with various shin wounds. I don't even want to ask.

"What, cheating?-You'll have a Hero Litt."

"I'm my sister. It's called Rooty Rule."

"Well, you have a sister. It's cute."

"By the way, it's a new B-rank adventurer.

"What do you mean, hero lit and a good sister, what? Does a drugstore also have blessings to create heroes?"

I smiled involuntarily. If you don't hit me ...

"Is there such blessing. Why did you stop it?"

"No, I wonder if I'm on a date, and it's a perfect gift for her."

With that said, Pasquale points to earrings and tiaras with various jewels set in front of them.

"It's all fake, glass."

"That's right, but it's beautiful? I'm a gem that I've polished up one by one."

"I guess it's not like buying it at a discounted price."

"I don't need to tell anyone I know. I'll sell them at the right price, just like the material and labor."

"Fum"

But ... I glance at Luti.

Rooty stared at the quietly arranged accessories.

Rooty is in a nutshell rich. You've acquired legendary treasures during your adventures, and you're selling things that rob the Demon King's supplies.

The treasure in possession is so valuable that it cannot be bought on the economic scale of the Zoltan ... that is, the Zoltan's state budget has assets that can easily be blown away.

How many peril silver coins do you have?

It would be nice to give a glass ball to such a rooty. I don't wear it now, but I have abundant accessories such as mythril silver earrings and red sky, a very rare and beautiful meteorite buckle.

However,

"brother……"

"Hmm, do you want me?"

"Yeah ... it's the cheapest, so I want it."

So that's it…….

"Okay, then I'll give you the best look."

"Yeah, it's a gift"

Without heart, Luti's cheek seemed a little reddish.

Then, while fighting with Pasquale, who wanted to sell something a little expensive, I bought a particularly good earring and gave it to Routy.

The small boat for sightseeing is a boat with one mast and a triangular sail. When there is no wind, you can move with an oar, but it is enough for one person to row the oar.

A boat for sightseeing on the river. It has enough functions.

"Yacht"

I adjust the sails to make the wind lighter.

The ship went up the river slowly.

"Let's cook this!"

I open a paper bag that I bought at a stall with white fish and sweet potato (sweet potato) fries.

Me and Luti together sang the street food of Mosomoso and Zoltan.

"The tacoyaki street food in Kita Ward is delicious, but it's far from Minato Ward."

"I want to eat together next time."

"Okay, next time we look around Kita-ku."

"Yup"

Me and Luti look at the slowly flowing Zoltan cityscape on a boat that sails in the wind.

"It's a good town"

Rooty said.

"I'm the only B-rank adventurer in the city, but I've never been forced to fight it.

"Everyone is relaxing."

"I didn't expect this to be another day with my brother again. I didn't think I could make friends like Tise, Uge Uge, or Litt."

Rooty looked straight at my face.

"Thank you older brother. Will you stay with me forever?"

Earlier, when I was asked this question, I couldn't answer that I would join the Bahamut Knights.

But not now. My purpose is slow life.

"Oh, as long as Luti wants. I'll be with you forever."

When I answered so, Luti shook his eyes, clenched his fist tightly,

"Yup!"

I smiled and nodded.
