Miniature Garden Chemister

"Hmm......?

"What's wrong, Hinami?"

In the dungeon store, me and Ickle were cleaning up at night. Beatrice and the others left, so the shop was quiet and only the voice of me and Ickle sounded.

But I feel strange and look around for a moment.

Immediately Ickle reacts, but I also get in trouble because I can't explain it.

"I don't know, the air is heavy?

"The air? I don't know, but could it be a cold?

"Mmmm..."

Speaking of which, I don't think you've caught a cold since you came to this world. Was my body just weak rather than uncomfortable?

Put your hands on your forehead and see if you have a fever... as usual.

"Doesn't seem to have any particular fever, and I don't know what"

"Really? Hmm...... Sure, you don't seem to have a fever. In the meantime, why don't you go home and rest already today? Maybe I'm tired."

Ichiru puts his hand on my forehead, but he still doesn't seem to have any heat and wrapped his neck slightly.

While I also wonder Hmm, when I realize it, I think I should rest earlier than I am having a cold. I decided to cut it up today and get back to the house with Ickle.

Mr. Suzuka is returning to the lower level of the dungeon to prepare his room for a while. An environment where you can live in the depths of a dungeon, but on the ground, you can use an elevator to get around right away. I kind of think it's actually pretty good stuff.

When my house repeatedly builds, I wish it was about the third floor... if it was about the fifth floor, would it come with an elevator?

And I kind of think. 'Cause I'm definitely gonna get tired of going to the roof!

With that in mind, Ikuru stroked me with his head pounding. Are those eyes okay? And he was asking. I seem to have made you worry......

Answer "It's OK" immediately and put your hands on the door that leads to the house.

"…… Hmm?

At the end of the day I looked back to see the store and somehow saw something black near the entrance.

When I rubbed my eyes and looked at them again, they were gone.... Am I mistaken?

"What's wrong with you?

"I think you saw something black at the entrance right now."

"At the entrance......? It doesn't seem like anything in particular."

Take my word for it, Ikuru opens the store entrance.

But there's nothing there, I just see inside the usual dungeon. It doesn't mean there are demons, fairies and other customers.

Hmmm...... Was it my fault? There is no black beard at the moment, and are you tired after all?

"I'll check some more later, so Hinami should go to bed first."

"But..."

"Fine. You tell people to rest, you're not going to rest?

"Ugh..."

Indeed, I have often told Ikuru to rest, who is always impotent. In the first place, Ikuru worries because he doesn't have much sleep in what he calls training.

As much as I thought for a time, bath time might be longer than sleep time.

In the meantime, for today, I decide to take a break and go back home with Ickle.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning. Having slept early, I was able to wake up more refreshed than usual.

Wash your face and get ready to cook breakfast before Ichiru and Mazuro wake up. Let's make it a fluffy baked bread, fresh vegetable salad and egg soup today.

Plus, there's a delicious jam I bought at the city store, so I can add that.

"It smells good ~!!"

The bread is baked, and the marinade gently descends from the second floor where the eggs are placed in the soup. "Good morning," he said, and just breakfast.

…… and where I want to go.

"Ickle, I wonder if you're still asleep?

Send a sight of sight to the stairs leading upstairs as the soup is approached, but there is no sign of Ichiru coming down.

Since I left early yesterday, did Ickle work late for me? If that's the case, I'm also sorry that I'm forced to wake you up.

I decided to set aside the breakfast for Ikuru and let him sleep softly now.

"Here you go. It is! Hmm! Hinami's rice is delicious."

"That's good. Eat a lot."

"Of course it is. Quilts are coming to the store today, so hurry up and get ready."

Hinami's Box Garden (miniature garden) already in the city is like a store manager. There are a lot of regular people, and it's the Billboard Daughter position that I always get treats for.

But, Quilt, are you coming?... Speaking of which, Mazuro is also good at physical surgery, so maybe that's because he used to say he was on to your consultation with Quilt.

The cursed slave contract with Shea has expired, Quilt. I hear you've been partying with Shea ever since.

They're also getting the job of escort going on, and he said he's saving his own money now and preparing for the future, so I think it's very reliable.

"Mmm! I'm going to be ready ~!

"Yeah. Come on in"

After finishing his meal in no time, he walks to the city through the door that leads to the store.

Speaking of which, I'm just taking my tea easy to slow down a little bit. When Ickle wakes up, I think I'll prepare breakfast and head to the dungeon store.

... although it was supposed to be.

"Ickle, won't you wake up?

Would it have been an hour or so since I had a relaxing cup of tea? Ickle's not up yet.

If you check the clock properly, it's around 9: 00.... will you be awake soon?

Give the garden herbs some water, peel the grass, and pick a few flowers to decorate the house.

I thought it was time for Ichiru to wake up, but she hasn't.

"Is that...?

If I check the clock, will it be 11: 00 already?

The slowly-opening dungeon shop should be about time for the Beatrices to open it.

But even if Ickle wakes up late, it won't be much later. Wouldn't you be up all morning like this......?

No, more than that.

"Maybe you're not feeling well enough to wake up?

He was telling me if it was a cold, but I wonder if Ickle actually had a cold. Ikuru doesn't say much about his health.

I decided to go to Ikuru's room to see what was going on.

Ickle's room is upstairs.

The construction is the same as mine, but the interior is simple. Ikuru is a man, so if it was a cute interior room like mine, I'd be in trouble...

It makes me kind of dusty to think that I'm sure Master Rigg will coordinate to suit each of them.

"Icru?"

Come in front of the room, knock on the door with the tongue.

But there is no reply to the call either.... Are you all right? Wouldn't he be down or something?

In the first place, it's weirder that Ickle doesn't notice the sound of a knock. Even when you're asleep, it's ickle to wake up immediately and be alert for trivial things.

That icle doesn't respond to the sound of a knock. No, I can't possibly react......?

"Icl!!"

At the next moment, I open the door of Ickle's room as if in a hurry. I thought it was locked, but that's not true. The room accepted me very much.

It would be tough if Ickle was down. We have to help! And such thoughts circled my head.

"... Huh?

but………….

There was no one in Ickle's room. Beautifully bedmade and I can't feel how someone slept until just before.

Does that mean that Ickle is not resting in the room?

"…… that means a dungeon store or Suzuka's place?

There are two places Ikuru goes out. I used to go hunting to raise the level, but I haven't been training with Suzuka lately.

…… but. I kind of have a bad feeling about it.

I don't know exactly what it is. However, the feeling of discomfort that I have felt since yesterday. If we don't find Ickle soon, my heart will blame me.

"In the meantime, shop!

Hurry down the stairs and go through the living room to the dungeon store.

Only the Beatrices are there. There is no appearance of Ichiru.

"'Good Morning, Store Manager.'"

"Morning, all three.... Ickle, didn't you come this way?

"Are you Ickle? I didn't see it today!

"Thanks. Hey, I'm going to Suzuka's."

Ask, tilt your neck and Beatrice told me.

Apparently Ickle hasn't come to the store. When I saw that I was cleaning up yesterday, it stayed that way.

If Ikuru worked in the store, he would never be left alone. Yet leaving it unattended means that Ikuru has done nothing at the store.

I told Beatrice and the others that it must be Suzuka's place and left the store.

The destination is Suzuka's residence on the lower level of this dungeon.

With the elevator, I can get there immediately, so I followed Suzuka's location in a few minutes of the stuff. It seems that if you can't use magic, it won't work, but Suzuka made it available to anyone.

While I was impressed that it was amazing, I was a little worried that the crime prevention at home would be okay. Then they laughed that it was okay because there was a connection.

"Good morning -"

He gets down from the elevator and proceeds as he greets him in the morning.

Suzuka and Ikuru are there, but it was not like someone was in the room in the dark.

"That's crazy. Mr. Suzuka? Ikuru? Aren't you there?

While I doubt it, I don't know where I am when I'm not here. Besides, it's hard to imagine those two going out without telling you anything.

Was there an urgent incident? Hmm.

"In the meantime, let's just go back home and talk to him... hmm?

I just turned my back indoors to go home, and the discomfort I felt yesterday also strikes me. The black-and-white thing got into my sight, and I was still worried that I was tired.

Just look indoors again, but no more black ones. Just a big purifying tree is planted in the middle of the room, nothing else looks unusual...?

"Huh? Ikuru, Suzuka?

When my gaze captures the whole tree of purification. I saw a figure on the other side of the thick trunk.

I just couldn't see it overlapping the trunk, and from the clothes that were sticking out a little, I could tell that it was Ichiru and Suzuka. Are you two even taking a nap?

If I did, I'd smile. But there's no way these two people who are sensitive to the signs won't notice me.

"Ikuru! Suzuka!!"

I hurried around to the back of the purification tree.

Sometimes I tried to calm the heart that rang like an early bell and called the two names.

Seeing it, it caught my eye that Ikuru and Suzuka were trying to lean against the trunk of the purification tree. I'm relieved to find the two of them for now, but what the hell is the situation?

Hmm? Hmm?

"…… Are you asleep?

Ikuru and Suzuka were definitely asleep.
