Early in the morning, when the little bird doesn't even ring yet, I go out into the garden alone and look at my world.

In colorful flowers and herbs, trees. There are also vegetables and fruits, and magic mangroves with magic water flowing through them. The boxyard, which was full if I realized it, became a very cozy space for me.

Did you wake up early because I have so much to do? I think my body must have woken up on its own.

That was in the flower letter, the last thing I could do, the third.

"Hina should grasp the power and condition of her people!

When it comes to companionship, stay on the equation. And then, can I put a quilt in Shea too? Although we've never had an adventure together.

'Who, what are you good at and not good at? What can I do? How long can we be fighting?'

Indeed, there are various types of recovery drugs (potions). There is health, magic, and other things that can be healed, as well as different amounts of healing.

Ickle is a speed-oriented avant-garde magician.

Mazuro is magical in the main, but he's also good at physical surgery.

Shea is a magician.

Quilt-kun is an avant-garde magician who uses a sword.

And me as a recoverer.

Hmm? Isn't this quite balanced?

Ickle and Quilt are avant-garde, and Shea is a rear guard. They do everything for me.

"I don't have a healer, but because I learned my recovery skills...... yeah, it might feel good!

I wish I could judge each endurance and strength, but that's just hard.

Even if I restore health and magic, I can't ask you to show me the status of my personal information.

I like the style of healing if I get hurt, but I can't carry healing pills (potions) indefinitely.

Thinking about it, my position is going to require a lot of judgment.

"I wonder if the use of soothing rain dew (potion shower) can only be a little bit?

Um and I'm roaring, but I can't do it right from the start.

As Master Rigg said before, slow down, let's remember at my pace.

"And then…… icle, I wonder"

I squirmed, and that's when the icle outside the garden enters my sight.

I keep my heart in the palm of my hand from time to time and think about what I have to say... but I'm not very brave.

"……… Welcome back, Ikuru"

"Is that it? Master Hinami, you're up early. I'm home."

Outside the garden fence, Skills It was Ickle who appeared out of the woods out of God's boxyard.

I got out softly in the middle of the night and found out that I was going to level with Ickle when I went to Agdis. I wish you would have told me, but I want to think you kept me from worrying about Ickle.

It should never be because it's a hassle.

"Somehow, because I woke up. I was looking in the garden."

"Really? The garden has changed a lot, too. There's more species, there's more animals."

"Yeah."

I think it would be just as good as usual to see Ickle looking over the garden with me.

Ickle I was going to level with, but it doesn't look like I've been fighting at all. It doesn't mean your clothes are dirty, it doesn't mean you're out of breath or hurt.

In the first place, even though this is a lost forest, it wasn't like there was a strong demon there? Maybe he's away for a little while.

Come to my side and say, "It's still a little early for breakfast, but what do we do? Reply to Ickle asking," It's still okay. "Sit on a terrace with an installation in the garden and encourage Ichiru to sit down as well.

"What's wrong? Something troubling you?

"Oh, yeah. I finally calmed down."

I can spare a little feeling as I take the morning sun to my body.

Demonic ferocity, garden organization, shops, new skills and. I've been kind of very busy here lately.

As such, I'm going to tell you that I have to talk to Ikuru because I can afford it.

It's about the cursed slave. Ickle, who had a contract with me, was no longer a cursed slave by the power of Master Lettysreel.

As far as the public curse slaves are concerned, I also know only a little after hearing about the current situation from customers who came to the store.

"Master Hinami?

"……… I am no longer Ickle's master. I'm sorry I'm late.

"Dear Hinami-san………………."

People who are no longer curse slaves, but still have five years left of their contract.

From what I've heard, it apparently splits into two patterns.

One.

Discard the contract itself and end the subordinate relationship.

Two.

As it is, the contract shall continue in the form of normal employment.

Because of the curse slave, we cannot continue to tie him up. If that had been the case, it would appear that the church and guild are in the brokerage.

If a contract is broken, a financial problem arises. This is the story of each having a return from the country.

"You've been helped a lot by Ikuru. Really, thank you. I've said it a hundred times already and it's not enough to say thank you."

I laughed at him, and the squeaky face ickle loosened his face just a little bit.

But I immediately took a serious look and said, "I'm talking about Hinami-san, so you've already made your decision, haven't you?".

When I snorted and showed my will, I heard Ichiru snort on my face.

I think what Ickle would like is that he chose to break his contract without continuing his employment.

Hire Ichiru as a clerk in Hinami's Box Garden (Miniature Garden). Of course, that is one option.

But I know best that Ikuru can be feathered in the wider world. That's why I chose to break my contract.

So that Ichiru can do what he wants, freely.

"Master Hinami, no. Hinami is stubborn."

"…………!

Default squeaky face, Ikuru called me “Hinami”.

That's the first call I've ever heard, it's kind of... terribly comforting. And I was embarrassed.

The renounced name is an important sign that I and Ickle are equal from now on. That makes my heart warmer and my body lighter.

"Well, I knew it."

"Ugh... I did say all I could to Ickle."

"Nothing, that's about it"

Unlike me, who suddenly got upset, Ickle was as usual. I can't tell you how much I've been ashamed of myself, though that's what makes me even more ashamed.

Lightly, the icle, "No problem." Keep going, now with a slightly worried look. Ickle always does. It gives me priority over me.

He has a smiley face, but he's sweet and sweet.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Eh?"

"... uh yeah, right. I didn't think you were thinking specifically."

"Ugh……………."

Though I thought it was a lot of smiling ickles, my unplanned cause usually led me back to my driving squeaky face.

But. Think about what Ickle told you. What will we do in the future? The city has a box garden door so you can go without any problems. There is no need to go through the woods alone anymore.

"Ah, but! Because the equals room is intact and you can continue to use it the same way!

I'm not telling you to leave, so I don't have trouble getting misunderstood here.

If I say that in a hurry, I can say yes. I can't believe I told you that, because it was Ichiru who foresaw it from the beginning.

And in the future I will still live for Master Rig, as usual.

I don't know if it's fun to be observing me, but I think I have a good relationship with Master Rig...... No, it's hard for me to think so.

"I guess, as always. Make a potion and shop, then, if you can afford it, take an adventure."

"Adventure is tough on that level."

"Ugh, that's well, I know. But I want to do more of what I can myself. I was able to learn new skills."

So it's no problem!

Even when it comes to adventure, fighting isn't just adventure... it should be.

But I want to be able to defeat you alone, like slime, I can't believe it.

"Ickle has nothing to do with it?

Me?

"Yes. Ickle said he wants to lift the curse because he hunts demons. But that's not really all, is it?

…………

Honestly, Ickle even if there was a curse. Even if you weren't even more blind. It's already very strong.

Ickle told me she wanted to lift the curse because she was blind. Above State, Decreased Status, No Attack Magic. These three are the handouts that Ichiru was making me do.

Ickle's thoughts, which he thinks are fine for being blind, are amazing, but they were actually amazing even when he went blind.

I felt a little uncomfortable that such icru wanted to lift the curse just because he was blind. Of course, I think the reason you're blind is the most.

"But... Ickle has something important to do with it."

"…… Right."

"Ikl......"

You noticed my words, Ikuru "ha" breathed like a pain in the ass.

I guess you didn't expect me to say that, and I kind of can't stop thinking about being prepared for it. It's funny.

"I tried to punch you, I thought"

".................. Huh?

"I thought I'd find the master who left me and beat him up. That's why I wanted to de-curse number one."

"Bungu......"

"My master is strong, so no matter how much I chase, I won't catch up. … even more so if you are blind or cursed"

I've kind of never seen Ickle so weak. "I really don't want to admit it," he even seems angry at the reason.

Even though you didn't let me notice when you were blind. Not so long ago, the presence of a master must be significant in the icru.

"Where are you, or do you have an idea?

"Unfortunately, not at all. Because it's resistant to digits, you're the kind of person who can live anywhere."

"That's so............!

While he said he wanted to punch me or something, Ickle apparently loves that master.

If I kind of laugh, Ikuru stares at me a little.

But! If that's the case, I want to support Ichiru. Of course, though I don't know about punching him.

But so many people that Ikuru is out of digits. I wonder what the hell kind of golimacho he is.

He taught me a little bit about how to fight, including sticks.

"I hope they find it. I'll help you if there's anything I can do!

"Absolutely. As always, it's because of you."

Oh, man, but go on and say "thank you," Ickle.

I'm also going to smile and nod and congratulate Ickle on his future. I think so from the bottom of my heart that I am glad to meet Ickle in this other world.

However.

Somehow, I don't know what I can do to make you feel... lonely.

"…… icle, uh, the"

"Uh already. What, are you crying?"

"……… I'm not crying."

"............... right"

When I lost my hair, I was stroked, and I was held to Ichiru's chest. Ikuru, who whispers his back to give up his child, says nothing to me.

He just caressed my back gently.
