... live free!

When I finished caring for my weapon, I decided to make a shrub out of a piece of cloth and an elastic string. Usually, I don't need much because I'm wearing a hood, but when I'm fighting, sometimes I'm not wearing a hood, so I tried to prevent it by putting it together because sometimes I was partially blocking my vision with my hair. You just have to cut your hair! As you may think, I really didn't feel like cutting my hair because I liked it as beautiful as my mother's. I would have just cut it off if I was my old self...... That's why I wanted to make shrubs.

That's what I used to make shrubs for, but besides my thoughts, I became obsessed and made three at some point, so it was already around noon. So it's water, pink, and white. Because I made it from the edge of the cloth, there was a wide variety of colors, so I made these three colors for the time being. I tried to shrug them on, remembering that I had not made sure if they were made properly, but it didn't seem to be a problem. In the meantime, I put on my jacket and then headed to the dining room to have lunch.

When I walked into the dining room, there was nowhere to sit, full of people. Then Lana wore it nearby and called out.

"Lena, are you sorry? There's plenty of people out there right now, so I'm not free, so could you hold on a second?

"Uh-huh. Then I'll go back to my room once. I'll be back in the dining room in a little while."

That's what Lana came up with when I tried to get back to my room.

"Oh, would you like to bring rice to your room?

"Huh? Are you sure?

"Fine, fine."

"Then, please"

That's what I said. I gave him three copper coins.

"You just did. Then you wait in your room, okay?

When I said that, I went back to the kitchen, so I went back to my room and waited for Lana to bring me dinner.

Then I sat on the bed and waited, and there was a knock, so when I opened the door, Mr. Lana stood with the rice.

"Uh, Lena?

"? Yeah, but?

When I opened the door, I somehow checked with Mr. Lana to see if it was Lena. Why not? That's what she thinks, leaning her neck. Lana seemed to realize why I was leaning my neck. She told me why she had checked.

"Oh, I'm sorry? For the first time, Lena wasn't wearing a hood and I didn't know who she was for a second."

When they say that, it's like I've never taken off my hood since I came to this city...

"Could you have always worn a hood when you said that?

"So I'm a little surprised I didn't know Lena was so cute"

"Flattery is fine. Than rice."

"Oh, I'm sorry? (It's not my fault...)"

Looks like Lana said something after she apologized, but she couldn't hear it well. But my consciousness shifted to rice by putting the rice on my desk. I was hungry so I wanted to eat fast.

"Leave the dishes in the hallway and I'll collect them later."

"Okay. Thank you."

Lana left the room as if she had other work to do.

At the end of lunch I decided to leave the dishes in the hallway to go hunting for today's demons. Last time I was out after lunch, I thought it would be the same.

"Because of this, and why don't we get out of the west gate?

I thought so. I headed towards the west gate.
