Master of the brave.

- gossip. - Birthday gift.

"Migratory Bird Inn Kiosk".

Every night, besides the sleepers, adventurers come together with pedestrians and people traveling all over the place looking for a break.

Strangers and land people come together to drink, eat food, exchange business talks and information, and sometimes come together to laugh, tear, and fight.

Days filled with repeated enthusiasm. But when the night is up, the temper pulls like a lie, and when the innkeeper who finished cleaning up afterwards falls asleep, he is engulfed in terrible silence.

A storage shed in the back yard of the inn. Let the poorly built door rattle, boy - Wynn dived into the cabin.

Blink and tremble in the cold air in the cabin, which is no different than outside.

When you put a stick on the doorboard, you stretch your body to work early in the morning until late at night to relax your hardened muscles.

(Ugh, it's pretty cold)

Looking up at the sky, the thick clouds covered it.

A cold gap breeze blows in like a cut. Rub your hands all over each other and step on the spot. The shirt that fixed Mark and Abel's back clothes, given to me by Hannah, the Inn's general, is not a very tolerable substitute for this harsh cold weather, and I have to move my body to warm it.

(I wonder if this will snow. I hope it doesn't pile up)

As her body warmed up a little, Winn dived into a blanket or blubbery fur.

I also got some warm fur clothes, but Wynn still uses them on the blanket on the bed. If you're awake, you can get warm by moving your body, and if you work in the kitchen, you're warm.

But that's not how it goes when you sleep. With my body trembling in the cold. Then I can hardly even get any sleep. Plus, a lot of people got cold sleeping on the street.

Running around the city early in the morning this time of year, you will see well those who are still sleeping and cold. Letty is frightened when he sees the colder bodies, so now he was running around the heart of a safe city and in an area inhabited by the upper class.

(Sleep fast, wake up and train fast)

Working all day and exhausted, Wynn tries to leave herself to the drowsiness she visits.

At that time...

rattling.

The sound of the doorboard swinging.

(Shut up...... I wonder if the wind is strong)

Never mind, Winn tries to sleep.

Gah, guh!

Apparently not the work of the wind. Looked like someone was trying to open the doorboard.

(I wonder who, at this hour)

Such a small storage shed. No way. There won't be any pickups.

Wynn rubbed his sleepy eyes while removing his gripping stick and opening the doorboard.

"Come on!

Don Wynn was clinging to the little shadow who jumped inside the cabin.

"Oh, that? Letty, what's going on?

She's a Wynn childhood tame, and she's only seven years old girl.

Letty just keeps clinging to Winn, even if she calls out surprised, and just repeats it in a small voice crying "brother, brother".

With this warm looking garment even though Letty was wearing and her own warmth, Winn had a truce first in the fight against the chilly weather that cut her off, but apparently she needed to fight the tears of a little girl who kept crying next.

I guess I walked out of the house with the cold wind still coming out of the snow. He was wearing clothes that looked warm, but Letty's body was chilled to the core.

Winn turned to the inn's kitchen and warmed up with a little sugar in the milk. And I'll manage to forgive Letty for crying and give her a drink.

Milk and sugar are both precious items, and Hannah scolds me perfectly when I get my hands on the ingredients in the kitchen. But Hannah is also relatively sweet against Letty, so if it's for her, she'll have her eyes spilled.

Worst of all, Winn wasn't going to leave Letty in this condition, even if she was beaten.

I hear what happened from Letty, who exhaled a lot, whether she was comfortable drinking warm milk.

- At Letty's house, on her eighth birthday, there will be a birthday festival as a revelation.

- I don't remember my brother's birthday, but at the birthday of my three older sisters and one older sister, a lot of people would come to the house and have a treat or sweet treat behaved and get a lot of gifts.

And my sister, who wanted to brag about her gift to someone, was rare, and when she visited her sister, who was being given a room in the back of the house, she showed off.

"On your eighth birthday, you'll get a beautiful dress and lots of treats and gifts!

Letty sparkled her eyes at her sister, who proudly said so.

(If you're eight, can you have a treat with your father, mother, brother or sisters? Can I talk to you every day?

Blowing her little breasts to expectations, Letty was waiting for the day to come. I took the treat that my favorite brother gave me and I was looking forward to eating with him.

And finally, tomorrow is my birthday. Waiting for the birthday. But...

"I can't let you out. I can't do much courtesy or dance. On the contrary, I can't even write letters. Isn't that right? This shame! Don't come out of my room!

The birthday didn't open.

(No! I can write courtesy, dance, letters?

I was reading a book with Winn, so I was able to read and write letters. I didn't even choose the book anymore and was taking it to make it look like Winn, so I didn't know it, and I was able to read some advanced magic books one by one. To dance, I can do more than I deserve year after year because of my workout with Winn or because of my extraordinary physical abilities.

It is true that politeness is a little uncomfortable, but there is still a young girl there. I was wearing acceptable practices.

But Letty's voice didn't reach her father.

Because the baron, a tutor, had thrown out Letty's education and told his father that Letty was an inferior student who couldn't help it.

But there's no reason for Letty to know that.

It's just sad, sad, diving into bed, crying and thinking about what's wrong with me is a mess in my head - I can't stand the loneliness and I walked to the storage shed where Winn sleeps.

Letty cries out after she finishes talking about the situation and shakes her face to see if she's getting sad again.

"It's okay. I'm here. Yeah, let's celebrate with me. I have a job, so I can't do it all day, but ask Aunt Hannah to play with me."

Winn comforts Letty as she strokes her beautiful golden hair.

"It's too late to go to bed, Letty. Come."

Wynn and Letty dived into the bunk for two.

Letty fell asleep quickly feeling tired of crying and relieved to be with Winn.

The clouds that were dripping thick cut slightly, and the light of the moon plunged through the lattice windows for ventilation.

Letty's unusual sleeping face illuminated by the moonlight. I wiped him clean around his dirty mouth with tear marks and a little milk so he wouldn't wake up the little princess, and then Winn lay down too.

As usual, a gap breeze blows in, but Letty's body temperature also helps keep her bed warmer than usual.

(I need to make time from lunch)

Fighting the drowsiness that struck him with great momentum, Winn let go of consciousness as he thought about how to finish the job in the morning.

Early the next morning.

Winn decided to take his first break from training with the aim of becoming a knight.

I usually work out with Winn at this hour, Letty. But I still slept today.

Winn, who got out of her bunk to keep Letty awake, washes her face with a pasty wash and somnolence as she draws water from the water into the bucket.

Play with Letty today at noon.

Need to make it a nice birthday for Letty. I needed to do everything step by step.

Transfer the water in the large water puddle into some small water puddles and rinse clean through them. Then I grabbed two buckets and ran to the joint well in this district. When you go back and forth from the inn to the well and fill it with water, you get on with cleaning the dining room and kitchen. After cleaning and finishing polishing the dishes, wash the vegetables such as potatoes and carrots this time using the water from the water that was transferred earlier. Then I checked my inventory of ingredients.

In doing so, the sky began to whiten.

Randall and Hannah are coming down from their room for the morning treat.

Winn reported to Randell his inventory of ingredients.

"Dude, what the hell's going on today? You're working faster than usual."

"Yeah, actually -"

Winn told Randell and Hannah the situation.

That the birthday festival taking place at Letty's house has been cancelled. That I was saddened by it and dived into Winn's storage shed last night. What I want you to take off from work from lunch today to play with Letty there.

"Well, that's okay. Sometimes."

Unusual, Hannah agreed with me.

Wynn turned his eyes to surprise as he asked, and Randell also took a serious look at her own wife.

"What? Did I tell you something so strange? If it's after work, it's fine. Because it seems cute that you can't celebrate your birthday. Then get the hell out of here!

That said, Hannah widened her books.

Apparently, they also do the bookkeeping.

Blaming Randell for surprise at his wife for doing things she doesn't normally do, Wynn hears the ingredients that come to purchase. And when I received the money from Hannah, I ran out toward the city.

"What kind of blow is that? I can't believe you're giving Winn the day off."

When Randell asked uncomfortably, Hannah looked up from the books.

"Birthday? After all, that girl was a noble princess..."

It was Randell, whose wife's attitude was convincing, with a word Hannah grumbled about.

"Hmm... that? Brother?"

When the day was also quite high, Letty finally woke up.

Ever since I started going to Winn, I've never happened this late.

Even though I said it was my birthday when I went outside, more and more clouds covered the sky today.

(What to do... Workout, I'm off...)

It was yesterday, and it is today.

On Letty's little chest, something hot comes up again. Now not with sadness, but with anger and pity for myself -.

(I said you'd stay with me...)

Loneliness and anxiety.

Little drops are about to fall out of my eyes that remind me of Letty's emerald jewel.

"Hey, Letty."

I can't wait to hear Letty. Looking back, Winn stood with a full smile on his face.

"What are you looking at, you? Look, let's go, huh? Just wash your face. You ruined my pretty face?

"Go... where are you going?

"I told you yesterday, didn't I? He wants to celebrate his birthday with me. Look, I asked Mr. Randell to fill me with bread, cheese, meat and intestines."

There was a lot of food stuffed in the cage.

I guess the little earthenware has squeezed juice in it. There were also expensive fruits.

"Wow."

Letty rounding her eyes.

"Well, it's not comparable to Letty's house treat. Take this and eat with us outside the city!

"Yeah!"

Letty was desperate to weep. But the heat in my chest this time was somewhere slightly warm.

A short walk from the city is a small tall hill.

On the meadow the two ate food while talking about the lack of other love they brought.

During this cold season, food and drinks were completely chilled, but Letty felt better than any meal she usually eats at the mansion.

After my stomach was full, the two of us ran around the meadows.

"Ah, snow! Brother, it's snow!

White snow falling down with a flicker.

"Hey, shall we dance? Brother!"

Letty pulling her hand.

I'd never seen a dance before, and I took Winn's hand in the creep and danced with Krull. That could have been very far from dancing in the social world.

But that's none of our business.

Letty danced to the muttering song.

Tired of the dance Wynn was unfamiliar with, Letty danced with the crook by herself, even when she sat down.

It was a beautiful singing voice. The snow flickers and falls as if to match Letty's song.

Letty's spinning songs are better than any of the bards, visiting The Migratory Bird Inn - and Letty's appearance dancing with the snow looked more beautiful to Winn than any fantastic illustration of the book.

Fun times pass fast.

If it's not time to go home, the Imperial Gate will close.

Wynn clenched both of his bushes in a grip as he saw Letty's hindsight making a move to go home somewhere remnantly.

I did it with a treat, a dance. After that, it is a gift.

When he ran to the city to buy, Wynn took out the money he was saving to enroll in the Knights School.

I talked to Randell and ordered lunch.

As a guest.

And Winn purchased a gift at a small market merchant.

That's something I've been wondering about for a long time. Occasionally, Letty puts such items in the

Because I stopped and watched.

Letty never had trouble with her clothes or food, but she never received a gift unlike her brother or sisters.

Letty just looked from afar envious at the sisters wearing the gift.

Many of those items are very expensive and many are very untouchable for Win. But there were also things that seemed pricey enough that I could manage to buy if I went around the city's outdoor store.

Still a hell of a lot of money for Winn. But when I decided to make a gift, I chose it without hesitation. I asked the shop owner to work on it for my children.

Some things can't be bought with money.

And that's all Letty's smile deserves.

Winn removed the small wrap from under the underlay of the cage where he was putting the food.

"Letty."

"What? Brother"

Winn took both hands of Letty looking back and pressed the contents out of the wrap he had hidden on his back with his right hand.

Letty's eyes opened wide.

"Giveaway...... Happy eighth birthday"

It lit up, and Winn said the words of celebration in a blast.

Letty's gaze comes and goes over Winn's face and the little gift put on his hands over and over again.

And Letty hugs the giveaway to her chest with both hands.

"... glad"

I was crying.

"... glad... glad... glad..."

Over and over again, Letty was crying as she repeatedly murmured 'Glad' in a small voice.

"Oh, man. Don't cry. Look, the city's closing."

There's something wrong with the orgy wins, and Letty laughs unexpectedly.

At that time - the thick clouds cracked and the yang shot down.

Winn breathed unexpectedly. Letty, wrapped in the light of the sun she inserted, seemed to shine like gold.

It was only for a few moments, but Winn felt some sacred atmosphere that Letty couldn't invade, and she kept staring at me just flashly -.

"Brother?

Returned to me with Letty's surprised voice.

"Ah, oh. Yeah...... right, let's go home"

Letty laughs again when she sees Winn, who is somehow turning red.

I still can't stop crying. But I didn't hate the heat in these breasts.

I can even smile and cry.

Letty first found out that day.

"Hey, did you get a handle on that? Everybody get dressed and wait."

"Yes, I'll be right there"

Fix the uniform in front of the mirror. Decorated in pure white with blue edged gold thread, it is a uniform as if it were a courtesy worn by a nobleman.

And only a few knights were allowed to put their hands through the sleeves of this uniform in the Empire.

As a member of that Knights Corps, Leticia works vigorously.

(Remember, brother)

That was six years ago.

A small, small aquamarine ring that cannot be filled in the fingers anymore because it is crafted for children.

Never an expensive item.

The Third Duchess is very unworthy to wear. No, even a slightly wealthy civilian may not wear it if you do poorly.

Leticia, however, wears silver chains through the rings and constantly wears them as a necklace.

Don't let anyone see you.

I had a really poor life, Wynn.

Money I saved by working until I got stuck every day to make my dreams come true.

He spent that precious money seeping in blood and sweat only to please Leticia, who was still young, at all costs.

For Winn back then, this Aquamarine ring would have been a hell of a lot of money -.

The samurai found me when I changed into a boulder, but no matter how loud I was told, I hid it on my chest and wore it.

I haven't even told Wynn that I'm still wearing this ring.

Take your right hand to the chest of the uniform and see how the ring feels.

Leticia had decided that the day to tell Wynn about the ring was still ahead.

At that time, it must be the most important memory of Leticia's life. That day, Leticia stood next to Wynn...

"Do you remember, brother? You know..."
