Two weeks have passed since Prince Salius returned.

Is Zoltan's short winter already losing interest in the city? The last few days have been warm days.

I was sitting at the counter of the store, dealing with occasional customers.

Recently, a lot of medicine was sold because of fear of war and shortage of supplies.

Well, I was busy, so I'm going to enjoy my spare time like a Zoltan for a while.

"Thank you very much"

After seeing the customer back home, I was sitting and staring.

A way of spending time that I could not imagine once working as a knight to be strong for rooty.

Isn't such a good thing?

When thinking of such a thing, a soft object was pressed against the back of the head.

"Redoo, I'm free."

Litt was holding her head from behind.

"I'm free too."

"Well, I want to throw out my work and flirt."

"But sometimes customers come."

Litt is groaning, "Whhhhh", holding my head.

By the way, doesn't this situation get into the flutter?

I'm feeling happy.

"OK"

Hearing Ritt's dissatisfied voice, I stand up.

"What?-Did you come up with something?"

"Lit sits here."

"Yup!"

I let the lit sit on the chair I was sitting on.

And I hugged Litt's head.

This is the opposite situation.

Because I was happy, I should be happy for Litt.

"???"

Litt looks strange.

However.

"... hehe"

After a while, she began to laugh, hiding her loose mouth with a red bandana on her neck.

The face is a little red.

After all, what makes me happy seems to be happy for Litt.

"Then it's my turn again!"

Litt's cute voice echoes in the store.

We were enjoying our spare time.

At noon, the number of customers was getting smaller and smaller.

Snap.

A pleasant sound resounds in the store.

"Hmm, don't do it."

"Hmmmm ♪"

Litt has a good face, playing with a rock in her hands with Jarajara.

On the board were black and white stones depicting complex patterns.

We are playing a board game called "Siege".

It is a strategy game in which stones are alternately placed, surrounding the land and making it your own territory.

It is widely known on the Avalon continent. If anything, it is preferred by calm elderly people.

Perhaps because of this, it is treated as an intellectual game that can not be frowned even if you play while keeping a shop.

Speaking of popularity, Wyvern race will be preferred by a wider audience.

You have to prepare a large number of stones for the siege, but in the Wyvern race you only need your own pieces and three dice.

"What about this ..."

"I'll get here."

"Mumumu"

Litt is a master of the siege.

Sometimes I play like this, but I've never won without a handicap.

I had three stones put in handicap first, and finally it was 5 minutes.

This time is Handicap 1.

I'm outnumbered, but I can't help losing my lit partner forever.

"here!"

"Mmm, that's a little troublesome."

The next move seemed to surprise Litt.

This time, Litt stops his hand, staring at the board and thinking hard.

This moment is irresistible for the game to hit the opponent.

"Red is improving right away."

After worrying, Litt laid down a defense rather than a counterattack.

The battle here is my win.

"Because I'm playing with Litt like this. If I try to understand what I thought about my current move, I'll improve naturally."

Pachin and I put the stone.

"Nuffu, then I need to understand more about red."

Litt said that and laughed.

Even though our bodies never touched, we were playing while touching our hearts.

After a while.

Callan.

The bell makes a noise and the store door opens.

""Welcome!""

Me and Ritt talked to a customer who stopped the game.

What appeared was a woman with beautiful features.

Shining silver long hair, skin without any stains.

Her eyes are blue, and her clothes are green, with a sturdy Kiramine weave.

What stands out above all is the long ears that pop out.

"eh!?"

Litt surprised and shouted.

I was surprised and thought stopped for a moment.

Because we knew that high elf.

"Gideon! I finally found it!"

The high elf jumped at me with a brilliant smile that couldn't beat her silver hair.

It doesn't matter if there is a counter in between.

I manage to catch her as she jumps over the counter with a light leap.

"Thanks God you're fine!"

"Yandrara !?"

The name of the high elf is Yalandrara.

A "wood singer" who once was at the brave party with me, a woman who fought the sage Ares and left the party after I was kicked out of the party.

"I'm always worried that you may have been killed by Ales' guy ..."

Yalandrara hugged my body with all my might.

The smell of flowers was soft.

"Cool down Yalandrara! Because customers are watching!"

A regular adventurer, Charles, who came in from behind Yalandrara, was surprised to see the inside of the shop and look round.

With his hands on his sword at his waist, maybe he's angry because he thinks he's cheating ... Charles is an avid fan of Litt.

The lit is hard to figure out what to do.

"I'll just leave you once and talk about the situation."

I said so desperately, but Yalandrara won't let go of my body.

"Really ... worried ..."

"... Yes, it was bad to go out without saying anything."

I gave up and relaxed.

Yalandrara's voice was shaking.

"Hmmm, I see."

Charles nodded.

"In other words, he was not convinced that Red was kicked out by his friends, and he came to search so far."

I can't help but explain what Charles has to say about it.

I explained the situation to the extent that I could talk, with some cheating.

"That's not to say,"

Charles stood up.

"If I had an affair, I thought I'd do it."

"seriously"

"Half a joke. Half I'm the one who brought Yalandrara so far. If I'm going to hurt Litt or Red, I'm going to stop it with my life."

"I can't do that."

Jalandrara stares at Charles.

"I don't know because I don't know you well. Anyway, outsiders will be quickly evacuated."

"Oh, it was annoying and bad."

In my words, Charles laughed and shook his head.

"Don't say it's annoying, I'm glad if you could help this store. I love this store."

Charles then greeted the lit courtesy greeting and left the store.

I put up with my mouth loosening.

I am very happy that the Red & Lit herbal store is praised.

"Hmm"

Looking at me, Yalandrara was squinting.
