Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

"It's still peaceful today."

"That's right."

Early morning.

Pull a big luggage truck and head to church, as usual.

I did it from the morning and Loretta was fine and Magda calmed down as usual today.

Ginette hammers at my words as I whine along the unchanged path.

Peace.

Nothing.

There is no such thing as the four seasons... No, they come to a disastrous place... but the view of the morning and evening is less replaceable due to the relatively unchangeable climate throughout the year.

"Even though it's the same time period, it's brightening up so fast these days..." or something like that, there are few events that make you feel the flow of time.

That's why I think.

Peace.

It had been six days since the party at the branch of the Wooddust Guild.

For the past six days, time has just flown, nothing has happened, everything is fine... I was in a bit of a hurry.

Nothing happens.

It won't happen... nothing.

Something... yes, if even troublesome trouble happens to me, there's a reason I'm here...

"Mr. Yashiro."

Ginette calls me by name and returns it to me.

"You're going too far."

If I'd noticed, I'd already arrived at church.

I was about to pass by while I was bawling.

"Oh, bad."

"Hehe. Do you still want to sleep?

A soft smile is staring at me.

"Well, yeah..."

Maybe I'm asleep.

I just think you're crazy.

I wish there was some nasty trouble. I can't believe this... I've been thinking about it.

"Brother! You will skin the potatoes with me! It's a competition which is faster!

"Mm-hmm..., stop it. Wow"

"Pfft, you're afraid to lose!?

"No, you're normal. I'm super good. Something... Competing is overwhelming and vain..."

"Oh, that's not true! If that's all you have to say, it's a battle with a square, five-minute handful on! Of course, I get five plus minutes!

Get a handful and see what's square......

"Well, okay. Then bring the ingredients to the kitchen."

"Wow! I carry it!"

Raise your hands and Loretta goes into the kitchen.

... no, ingredients ingredients!

"Damn, he..."

"Sounds like fun, Mr. Loretta"

"Right."

Loretta had also recently begun to accompany her to donations to the church.

Previously, when the Yangdu Pavilion was being harassed and malicious, I followed it worried about the depressing Ginette, but after it was gone, it stopped coming... but after the big food tournament, I started to participate again.

Maybe he's feeling something, too.

I can see how energetic I was earlier and how I can't seem to do it anywhere...

"Do you want me to bully you lightly? I'll overwhelm you with peeling."

"That's enough for you."

Ginette laughs calmly with a crate full of vegetables.

Somehow, that smile was just a little... similar to Bertina's.

"... and those boobs also outgrew Bertina"

"Magda... after reading my mind, why don't you stop adding your own monologue?

"............... why?

"'Why'!?

I didn't expect you to question that!?

I can't think of any other reason than 'I don't like anything'!?

"Brother ~! Come quickly!

Loretta waves from inside the church at me, still in the garden.

No, no. You know the situation when you see it, don't you?

"You, take the vegetables!

"... why?

"Loretta, you too!?

Totally, it's a lot of hard work when you have someone around who doesn't get what you want. Julius Caesar feels a little better.

"Mr. Yashiro."

Bertina was picking me up at my doorstep as I entered the church drooling over my dissatisfaction with Loretta, who wouldn't help.

"Thank you for everything"

"Tell Ginette. I'm just an escort."

"Ugh... you're the same"

As usual, I don't know what it is, but, well, I guess they're teasing me.

Bertina giggled as she glanced at him.

I'll give it a try, make a super funny face that's a must-have burst of laughter I've never 'taken off' in my life, and show it to you. And...

"Buffoo!

That Bertina blew out.

I'm holding my stomach and laughing off.

Ooh... Something's fresh.

"Bertina, are you okay?

And, with a gentleman's voice, I whisper Bertina's back.

But my face still remains weird.

"... Yes. Sorry, you look ugly...... too shocking I guess!?

As soon as I looked back, on the funny face that was right there, Bertina blew out more grandiose than earlier.... on your face, spit...

"also... please stop........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Si, Sister!? Mr. Yashiro, what the hell happened!?

Ginette comes out of the kitchen. You won't see my face at that angle, so I'm gonna look back slowly and show Ginette too.

"Nothing."

"Puhiu!?

Keeping his weird face, only his voice refreshed to the extreme, he said, Ginette leaked a strange sound and blew it out, turning back in a hurry. My shoulders are gushing and I seem desperate to laugh.

Hey, you can still do it, my strongest glare. That's a pestle I took a long time ago.

"Ha... Ha ha, Mr. Yashiro... no... flirtatious, shitty... if this kind of play is fashionable among the kids..."

"Well, that's troublesome. Especially when they do it when you're eating dinner, that's very troublesome. Let's not, paltry..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Already just look at Mr. Yashiro...... funny...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I'm embarrassed by Ginette, and Bertina stabs me in the nail, too.

Is the fun face forbidden for the moment? Huh.

"Sister, are you okay?

"yes..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ginette rubs Bertina's back, nursing (?) I am.

Apparently, I'd better get out of here.

"Well, don't skin the potatoes"

"Yes, please"

Leaving Bertina and Ginette behind, she walked into the kitchen... and Loretta was waiting for her in the atmosphere that the dungeon's lass boss was also Kaya.

"Well done! All you have to do is look at my power!

Loretta who managed to say something like that...

The result is my victory.

Loretta's peeling was, well, as much as she expected...... normal.

Potatoes used for the battle were used partly in the meal and the leftovers were sliced thinly after the meal into potato chips for delicious taste.

The crisp texture of the crisp flattened Bertina and the children, as well as the potatoes that had been peeled off in considerable quantities, were quickly flattened.

"Oh my God... just slice and fry thin... I can't believe I've ever overlooked such a simple way to cook..."

Kind of had Ginette in a big shock.

This, well... I'm pretty sure you think it's complimented.

"I also want to serve these potato chips at the Yangdu Pavilion. This is also a delicious time for root vegetables from now on, and be sure to!

"Ooh. I think it's better for him than cooking."

Is there a time when root vegetables are delicious... in a similar climate all year round?

"Not sliced, but finely chopped and fried with fries, and that's delicious too. You should try it next time."

"Yes, then tell me next time"

"Ha, not even enough to teach."

"No, but..."

For just a moment...

"When I'm with Mr. Yashiro, I enjoy being able to remember a lot of new things"

That smile, directed instead, with only the words I was about to say, felt somewhere distorted.

Such a danger, like standing on thin ice.

I knew... you're cared for.

"Mr. Yashiro."

Bertina came to me when I finished my meal and it was time to clean up.

With a gentle smile...

"I need to talk to you"

- Calling me in a quiet voice, irreversible.

"............... ok"

I'll leave the cleanup to Ginettes and I'll head to the chapel with Bertina.

It's a penance room that's been brought in several times in the past.

This small delimited space becomes a complete chamber when the door is closed.

Any story would be something you can talk about at will.

"Mr. Yashiro."

Called first name.

That's just it, it makes me feel like I'm being peeked into.

Cloudless eyes staring at me like I saw through everything.

"... Isn't it time for you to"

It's time...

Needless to say what the word is referring to.

I guess Bertina has it all figured out. I don't know 'what' is' how far ', but maybe since the first time I saw him, he'd spotted all over me and who I was. And it made me think so.

But...

Have I spent enough time to be able to call it "about time"?

"Not yet," or "not at all"...... I feel like those words will stick better.

Bertina's arm is gently extended. White, thin fingers touch my cheeks.

"As one who has seen you in the period since we met, I say,"

My eyes stared at me with something real... so warm, like a wish.

I'm sure no one can do anything to distract me from these eyes.

"Mr. Yashiro -"

Get your hands off my cheek and join hands in front of my own chest.

Praying tricks, begging eyes, with forgiving voices...... Bertina says.

"Aren't you allowed to live for your own happiness anymore?

- My, for happiness......

Quietly bowing his head, Bertina leaves the penance room.

You never heard back from me.

I guess you mean think about it a little bit.

Lifting my gaze against the wall - the crest of the Spirit Church hung on the wall was looking down at me.

It's like the Spirit God is looking down on me, attacked by such an illusion.

... I'm not going to confess.

Whatever they say, I'm a fraud... what I've done... the past doesn't disappear.

"... I'm not the only one who can be forgiven..."

I try to gaze at the crest of the Spirit Church... but in a matter of seconds I've lost my sight.

To be honest...... "How long have you been Uzzy and Cancer, Boquete!," and it was much better to be yelled at.

After all, Bertina is a tough Sister.

... I feel stuck again that I can only give the answer myself.

It was stuck in the penance room for more than a dozen minutes.

But I can't hold my head, I can't even think about it...

After all, I left the penance room without thinking about it... and went back to the Yangdu Pavilion.

As usual today, lunchtime is so busy that I want to borrow the cat's hand as well, then another wave of peaks visits me at tee time to regain some calm when it passes.

This time was such that Grandma Mum, the jizzies of Zermal, and the former regulars were gathered together, and although they were not busy, they were never free.

Around evening, the stall units at Stores Two and Seven said, "Sold out -!" "Ooh, ooh, ooh!" He returns and laughs at Ginette for praising him. This is also no longer settled.

These days, Magda and Loretta seem to be turning well just their sisters without having to go to help. I remember the calculations and my customer service skills are improving.

This would also make it possible to increase the number of stalls. It might be a good idea to open a store around the fortieth district and expand the chain.

These guys will be able to run a fine business on their own.

When the sun falls, Womalo shows his face after work. Not indispensable every day, exactly at the same time.

These days, I've seen Womalo's face so much that I know the time.

Recently, Mormat, Yap Rock, Norma and Delia have also been coming here frequently.

The familiar faces gather together and laugh at each other for crap with stupid stories that have no benefits while eating meals that are "uh, not" or "not".

I've been talking about city gates lately.

"What do you do at the ceremony," or "I want to try on my dress again," or "Do the Idol Jazz stage again!," or "Shut up! Shut up, Becco!" or...

The people who are full always say this to close the day.

"Oh, it's been a good day," he said.

All familiar faces return, and the opening hours of the Yangdu Pavilion end.

Even today, it was a peaceful day.

Trouble... didn't happen...

Yangdu Pavilion after closing.

In a dim dining room where no one was anymore, I was sitting in my usual deepest seat, with my cheeks on, letting my gaze wander into the universe without seeing anything.

The opening ceremony for the city gates and streets is tomorrow.

One of the biggest projects I've ever said and started working on is complete and perfect... and it's over.

At the end of the ceremony...... he will be released from his responsibilities towards District 42.

The reason I'm staying here is... gone.

No trouble, no serious problems.

Ginette's dream, "The Sun Deception Pavilion Back then," also came back. The desire to make it a pleasant space, where people gather, was also fulfilled.

Even without me, I got the certainty that this store could do it right.

Ginette once said, "It's hard to run a store alone," but now she's not the other one.

Not only Magda and Loretta, but there are a lot of people you can count on.

He said he did it to me.

I also roughly understood this city.

I could save quite a bit.

The foundation of my life was in order a long time ago.

All that's left is...

I grip 20 RB in my pocket.

Yes... all that's left is this 20RB.

I made a run for it and promised Ginette I'd 'pay for it', the price for that scum vegetable fixing I ate the first time. Twenty RB -

The only reason I'm here right now is because this is only 20 RB - the cost of the cheapest menu in the Yang Deception Pavilion - and that's all.

I can't stay like this forever...

At that time, I felt my gaze straight from the side.

Turning to his face reflexively, Loretta's face, a little dumb and adorable, swollen with her cheeks in bread, approached the present.

"What do you say!? Brother!"

Loretta asks, lifting her eyebrows briskly.

The tone was slightly dull and strange, like when imitating sumo wrestling, because it kept from zeroing what had been packed in the cheek bag.

That's usually the definite laugh... but at this time I couldn't predict why Loretta went into this behavior, and I just had to stare at Pocan and his face.

"How about...?

Koten, and he leans his neck and peeks into my face.

"How……………………………"

Big eyes stare at me.

"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

What?

"Uh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

"Lo, Loretta!?

Loretta suddenly cried out.

Open your mouth wide and cry like a child. It's a cry.

The momentum overflows the mouth with apples.

Loretta keeps crying out loud, even though her cheek bag, which was bread, is completely squished and makes her usual sneaky face.

"Hey... Loretta... what's up with you..."

"Oben zabuuuuuuuuuuu..."

I'm sorry?

What the fuck?

Why are you apologizing?

"Oh, oh, I... I'm normal... I can't do anything special... I can't do anything special... I can't do anything about you... I can't do anything... I can't do anything... I can't do anything... I can't do anything normal... so this is the only thing I can do... to cheer you up... my... good thing... you know, you told me... you can do it too... I can't even get you to laugh... whoa!

"Buh... idiot, you... whoa!

I stood up aggressively and embraced Loretta, who was crooked and crying in a shambles of her face.

But Loretta's tears never stop.

"I............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Brother............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In my arms, Loretta shivers her shoulders and leaks a whimper.

And yet I... what the hell am I doing?

Let Loretta do this... let this guy even say this...

I can't believe I can't do anything with just a hug...

"... Yashiro"

Magda calls me by my name.

There were quiet, deep eyes there that reminded me of the deep sea.

"... I'll take care of Loretta. Today, Magda sends them away... and they're by my side all night"

"... right"

Until Magda cares............... no, you don't.

I've been concerned for a long time.

Good thing I was... using these guys' kindness.

"... Come, Loretta"

"... ma... gudda..."

As Magda called with her arms wide open, Loretta slipped through my arms and jumped into Magda's chest.

Magda hugs Loretta so hard, and tenders her back.

"... Yashiro"

With Loretta's body embraced, Magda turns only her face to me.

"... Magda won't stop Yashiro"

My heart, it bounces.

Just for a moment, I forgot how to breathe...

"... because Yashiro is the one who gave Magda the future. Magda doesn't deny Yashiro's future... whatever it is..."

For just a short time, a heart that stopped for just a few hours without as much as a blink will now be busy and rampant.

The back of my throat... seems to be tightened.

"... I want you to say go when you go"

Even at a time like this, the look on Magda's face remains the same... still possesses beautiful tranquillity like pottery... which is why it stops cutting.

"... knowing that we'll never see each other again, we'll be apart because... tough, from"

That would go without saying what the word suggests.

It's a very heavy word...

Magda lowered her eyes softly as I failed to respond.

And whisper with your hands on Loretta's shoulder.

"... Loretta, let's go"

"But..."

Loretta looks at me with an uneasy look.

If you take your eyes off me, when I'm gone... I guess that's what you think.

"... it's okay"

But I said this so Magda could scratch out Loretta's anxiety like that.

"... Yashiro, even if he vomits... he will never break his word"

My eyes staring straight at me seem to sue me 'cause I believe'...... I bit my back teeth off.

"... let's go"

"Yeah.................."

Though unbundled, Loretta walks out so that Magda can support her.

Shortly before I opened the door and went outside, Loretta said with a still slightly trembling voice, keeping her back to me.

"Brother. Good night.... see you tomorrow"

"... lore..."

"... Yashiro. See you tomorrow."

Magda's going to lay the words down.

... Does this make your anxiety go away?

Like this.................. about...

"Oh... see you tomorrow"

When I say it, Loretta looks back just at her neck, and...

"Eh heh. So, brother, I love it."

He gave me a smile.

Magda is a magda, she raises her arms quietly and sticks her thumb up against me.

And then we both go outside... the door closes.

........................ Ah.

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

... I can't make up my mind anymore.

Turn your gaze to the kitchen.

By now, is it the time I'm calculating today's sales upstairs...

"... Ginette"

I tried to step out.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"... take it easy, me"

Beat a leech and manage to step out.

The world gets rough... my vision gets unstable...

Try stomping on the kakato, but I can't feel my footsteps as if the earth is melting away.

It's been a long time since I've found it so hard to breathe......

It was as if that day's............ my brain was doing everything in its power to deny reality, even though I realized I couldn't take it back anymore...... it seemed then...

But... here I am... now I have him...

Put your hands on the counter and use the force of your arms to move your body forward.

I feel irritated by my immobile legs and at the same time I feel a sense of impatience that makes me want to scream.

Try staring at the leeches, but the tremor won't stop.

... Damn!

Over the counter, I was just about to head to the kitchen...

"Mr. Yashiro?

From the kitchen, Ginette came out.

He gave me a look of surprise for a moment, and he stared seriously at my face...

"I'll make you some warm tea."

He turned a gentle smile on me............

That's right... this is what he is... Now I can tell you. I can talk to you properly............

"Ginette."

Calling Ginette, who was headed to the kitchen to make tea.

Let's put Keri on...

"... we need to talk"
