□ [Holy Knight] Ray Sterling

Through the windmill's coloured path, we made our way to the village of Torne.

The size of the village is much smaller than that of the King's capital or Gideon. It reminds me of fifteenth and sixth century Dutch landscape paintings, not least because of the sparse construction of around four hundred houses on a large plot of land and several large windmill huts for agriculture.

The area around the village looked very busy, either because of the wind star festival that starts tomorrow.

You couldn't get the inn, some have tents on the village grounds.

"Oh, I wonder if we can take the inn, too," the senior said. "You can stay in this carriage. Because the interior is a space expansion and it's a little camper".

Then I sent Louis to his mother and decided to take some time off already today.

... but I did.

◇

"This kid is really impotent already...!

"Hiku, hiku..."

Currently, Louis was scolded in tears by his mother, Mr. Farica.

The kid jumped out on his own, and even though he was riding in the carriage, there were monsters going all the way through the Mountain Road to Wangdu.

Being scolded is naturally more of a story to be scolded than...

"If anything happens to me and your fathers, how sad..."

Fathers, that would mean Mr. Sijima, the missing stepfather, and Louis' real father, who is already in the registry.

Mr. Farica also raises Louis for his father. I can't even guess how hard I've worked in this case.

However, Mr. Farica is also impotent. He waited in front of the house until we brought Louis after he found out he was headed to King's Capital.

He also exhausted his hands, such as telling the merchants he knew and those heading to the King's Capital about Louis, before putting a chair in front of the house and waiting for him all the time with his heavy body on the moon.

No matter how much jobs and statuses people's bodies are made stronger than they are in real life, there will be burdens.

I know you were worried about Louis, but she's pregnant and I want you to love yourself.

"Because I want you to look for my stepfather...!

"If you mean that guy, I've told you many times not to worry..."

"But! We need to find him! Father-in-law, you were happy and crying when you heard that the child was going to be born!

"Louie......"

"My father-in-law, my son, should want to see you!

That's what Louis says with a strong will in tears.

Mr. Farica gently wiped the tears on his cheek when he said something, then softly hugged him.

…………

It's a parent-child conversation, aren't we too outsiders?

Perhaps you should read the air and disperse, but as mentioned earlier, there was no time for Mr. Farica to disperse because he was waiting in front of the house.

... Well, there are some things I have to ask Farica in the first place.

"So, Louis... who are those people?

"He's the one who's looking for my stepfather! Brother Ray and sister Bee, and nemesis!

"... hey, why am I the only one calling it off?

Because you don't look older, no doubt about it.

"Is your nemesis... Maiden?

"Um, you're right."

"Yes, same as Yuno............"

Mr. Farica seemed to have a little idea.

Mr Sijima Ichiro, who is gone, also seems to have been Maiden's < master >, and maybe he has something on his mind around there.

"So my mother wants to hear from my stepfather to find my stepfather."

"Look for that guy... but...... No, I get it"

"Excuse me. May I have a moment?"

And, a senior who was silent here speaks.

"What is it?

"We want to gather information when searching for Mr. Sijima Ichiro in Leah…" Beyond ”. To that end, I wanted to investigate an interview from Mr. Farica and the goods he left behind…"

"I was thinking," he says in a past form, then the senior pushes up his glasses and says a word.

"I want to do that after tomorrow. If you look at it, Mr. Farica looks pretty tired. Love yourself for your belly baby too."

Indeed. Which way, it's already too late today, and you should ask Mr. Farica when he's in good health and convenience.

"Thank you. That's helpful... Phew."

Farica tried to respond to the seniors' suggestion...... so she fluttered out of shape there.

We supported Mr. Farica, who was about to fall in a hurry.

◇

Again, while we waited for Louis, it seemed the body was under strain.

Apparently, Mr. Farica's fatigue was considerable, and he also seemed anaemic.

We put Mr. Farica to bed in his room while the senior was led by Louis. This is a bad decision for me to go into a woman's room.

So, in the meantime, I was cleaning out the chairs that were on the table, and I was looking through the bag in the item box for items that might help me feel better.

I often suffer from state abnormalities, and recently my nose has been moisturized, so I am fully equipped with state abnormality recovery items. There is also a dozen [healing panacea] of 100,000 lil a bottle.

Well, half of them came out of the chatter.

... Better than [Permit], right?

"But is it okay for pregnant women to drink combat items?

"... oh, I don't know"

Drug items in this world...... anyway, it doesn't say precautions. The description of the item also does not say "Please use only if you are 0 years old or older" or "Avoid taking if you are pregnant".

"Then should I be nourished normally? I'll ask him if I can borrow the kitchen for a second."

I have a few ingredients.

Well, some of them came out of the chatter.

............... the value was less than the input amount, but it's something you can use, so that's fine.

Mr. Farica was reluctant to confirm, but Lewis accepted, so he decided to execute it.

The kitchen in this house was equipped with cookware for quite expensive magic items, such as ovens and stoves. Perhaps Mr Sizima has prepared it.

For now, this doesn't interfere with cooking.

Let's even make some minestrone soup so Mr. Farica can eat easily.

Will you make dinner for us and Louis at last?

"I'll help you, too."

And the senior also stood in the kitchen wearing an apron.

... Senior, don't look good on the apron.

He looks used to cooking, or maybe he's surprisingly a family person.

"No!? For some reason I felt the crisis again... Yes! Ray, I'm cooking too..."

"You, you'll eat about half of it with a taste. When I baked cookies with Mr. Riser and Mr. Bishmal before, the dough before baking (...) was halved, right?

"Nooooooo..., my credibility regarding food is too much"

I have too many priors.

"Mr. Ray... I'm rather curious as to how you decided to make sweets in that face"

"Well, hang out a little bit"

By the way, one act of the matter is helping with charity events in the arena.

Additionally, Mr. Bishmal had the best cookies baked or subtracted because he was a flame user. With all due respect, I was surprised because I thought it would be charcoal.

"Hmm, I bought some bread... do I even make minestrone soup and green salad"

"Now let me make a cheeseburger. Because I'm good at it."

◇

That's how the cooking proceeded, and an hour later there was a set of Western foods lined up like an example.

Neither I nor my senior picked a job, but cooking is a taste skill. If I could cook in real life, I had no problem.

"You just delivered Louis or even prepared a meal..."

"Don't worry about it. Because I liked this one."

"Hey Shiso!

Mr. Farica looked frightened, but Louis seems surprised but pleased

Yeah, I was a little concerned, so I also asked about the medicine, but there seems to be something called magic medicine that pregnant women don't have to worry about side effects. It is convenient.

"You can cook even though we're both masters!

... Yet?

"Did Mr. Sijima cook?

"I couldn't do it at all. He said," I've never been over there. "

"... Hmm"

Would that be one of the clues?

Well, including that, let's turn the information-gathering tomorrow.

We started eating by saying, "Here you go."

Whether it is a habit brought in by Mr Sijima, we will also eat in this House "for you".

What's more, the dishes you use also have chopsticks. Mr. Sijima seems sure to be Japanese.

Now, the flavor of the dish at the heart, but my salad I made... set aside. Minestrone tasted so-so.

My brother would make it much better than this, but my point of extension would normally be taken.

Also, the cheeseburgers the seniors made were very tasty.

If this tastes good two more times, I'll line it up with what my brother made.

... but that brother, you really are omnipotent except for painting.

"Hmm?"

Well, I realize I do.

Nemesis sitting next to me... but I haven't eaten much. Are you shying away because you don't have that much available today?

"Nemesis, I don't think the chopsticks are progressing, but what's up?

Now, Nemesis answers my query with a little nagging.

"I don't have an appetite"

- Moment after moment, I dropped my spoon.

"Stupid......"

Nemesis's, nemesis's appetite!?

You mean that can happen!?

What, a foretaste of a natural mutation!?

"... I'm angry that I'm more surprised than Marie or Beasley."

"Because, hey."

It's a nemesis, huh?

"I don't know why. I mean, it's not just lack of appetite. My body is heavy and drowsy from earlier..."

"Is that a cold? Do you have a fever?

I try to push my forehead against the forehead of the nemesis, but it doesn't convey any heat in particular.

Um, flat fever. Rather low?

".................. Ah. Ray, Ray."

Oh, it's a little hot.

I thought you had a cold.

"...... < Embrio > has no cold or anything. Wow! But my face is hot, so I'm going to bed! My share of the meal...... Ray should eat responsibly!

That's what Nemesis said and went straight back inside the crest.

Don't you catch a cold?

But she also suffers from Gardner's Embrio... there are pregnant women and we need to be careful.

…………

Well, the seniors are watching me.

Is something wrong?

"Ray, don't they say“ natural "once in a while?

"There isn't, right? I was told in high school," Misatsu. "

Speaking of which, why was it all over again?

Nothing. I don't remember eating dumplings often.

"Is it abbreviated to" everyone "or“ everyone "?"

The seniors seemed to devise something they weren't sure about whining about Boso.

Well, I have to clean up dinner for the nemesis I fell asleep for.

◇

After we finished eating, we washed the dishes and we were free.

Mr. Farica said, "Would you like to stay? He told me," but I didn't want him to be so concerned, so I chose to stay in the carriage as my senior said.

Only the place allowed me to use the premises of the house.

This house, the garden against the house...... or the accompanying land was strangely large.

Ask him why, he says Sijima prepared it for [Ariez Leo] Gringham, the horseman of Mr. Sijima, who needed land extensively.

From what Louis was talking about, it sounds like a lion the size of an elephant, so that would also take about this much land.

Whatever it is, I decided to sleep here tonight because I had no problem putting the carriage down and I also had the permission of my family, Mr. Farica.

There's also a way to log out and get some hypnotic sleep, but there's a chance that you'll oversleep.

Besides, somehow, it's better to sleep here and get used to sleeping longer. In real life, even three hours is nine hours here.

... Well, when I sleep over here and then log out, I feel like I don't have enough sleep, and I realize it's my fault. It's a strange thing because I don't even feel that way if I stay logged in.

Well, I'm staying in the car, but what a carriage... it even has a shower room.

"No, it doesn't matter what you think there, does it? Walls, right?" There is a handle in the place, and when it opens, it's strange, the shower room is here.

Space expansion is amazing...... what happens when it breaks?

So, I decided to take a shower in turn and go straight to bed.

Well, if you log out about the shower, the dirt will more or less go away (or we'll be gone and the dirt will literally “fall off"), but I've noticed in the past month that I still feel better flushing my body with hot water before bed. Real bathing is done before meeting seniors, by the way.

Bed appeared when I went to bed but knocked down my seat...... or flipped it.

I'm not surprised by this carriage anymore.

Even though the exterior is a bit like a luxurious carriage in the first place, the volume of the contents is wider than that of a camper. It's another mysterious space expansion.

"By the way, how long have you been in this carriage?

"Come on?"

... Come on?

"It was randomly dropped during PK. Apparently, it's a prototype of a new magic carriage created at the Legendary Fairy Workshop. I don't even know how they PK me to my clan."

…………

"I was curious to find out that the market price for a magic carriage a generation ago was roughly 100 million lil,"

……………………

My savings will blow up a generation ago.

Is that or is it Benz's roadster carriage, this? Or pure gold Lamborghini that Arab oil money buys or something like that?

No, it's higher than those.

"You said the members of the clan were priced like tanks"

"Uh..."

Are you sure the pricing is that way?

Whatever it is, it's a tear away luxury carriage.

Let's be careful not to scratch or anything...... you were in danger during the day.

"Now it's time to turn off the lights. Good night, Mr. Ray."

"Yes, senior. Good night."

That's how we fell asleep in the carriage.

I slept better than I ever dreamed I was tired myself.

◇

The next morning.

When I opened my eyes, Nemesis stared at this side of the bed jeezy.

"Morning, Nemesis"

"Um, good morning. So, Ray."

Nemesis stood one finger at a time with his right and left hand and asked:

"I don't even have to say good news and bad news...... I have a bit of troublesome information. Which one do you want to hear first?

"... all of a sudden"

But good news and bad news.

Well, I guess I'll have to deal with the ferocity report and the doings, but I'm also concerned that it's Bad News first thing in the morning.

"With good news first"

"Um, okay"

That's what Nemesis says. He changes his right hand finger from one, to three.

And here's what I tell you.

"We've evolved into a third form (...)"

"... huh?
