Under the starry sky.
Charlotte rolled onto a bed made of a combination of trees and grass and was reading a book.
A book called Dragonslayer, which I always read before I went to sleep. A tale of a mighty hero coming to help a princess taken away by a dragon.
The captured princess seemed like herself and loved the book, but now it's more special.
I feel as if what I was reading before I went to sleep triggered a miracle.
--A miracle.
Yes, something wonderful happened to me.
The dragon quickly took me away, and a brave man came. It's like the story of Dragonslayer.
So when I read this book, my chest rang high.
The excitement you felt when you left that mansion, you can still remember the details clearly even after many days.
However, the only thing that looks like it is the surface, and the contents are completely reversed.
The nice person who helped me was a dragon, and the mighty brave came to bully that dragon.
--What exactly has Lute been doing to that brave man?
When the brave man came to the table, Charlotte couldn't hear because Lute looked too spicy.
I really want Lute to know about this special book.
But now that I show him this book, I'm sure he'll feel guilty and anxious. The story of the brave defeating the dragon...
I hope one day we'll be able to read this book together.
"Yoshio! It's done!"
That's what Iris said when he was facing the notebook earlier, so Charlotte closed the book.
"What did you do?
"Fufu. This is the plan to become a senior adventurer."
"Oh, show me. Show me."
Charlotte sat next to her and peeked into her notebook.
There is a map on the left, marked. There were many fine letters written on the right side.
"I think we can earn just the right balance of money and performance if we tackle this street."
"... Iris is amazing."
"If you rely on Lute, you may be able to quickly rank up, but then I won't be strong... so I gradually increased the difficulty so that I can fight. I don't want to regret it in times of need....."
Iris has a purpose to help her sister. Perhaps this schedule has been on my mind for a long time.
"But it's not just my plan. It incorporates procedures to make Lute stronger, and it incorporates Charlotte's wishes."
Huh?
"Didn't I just say that? She wants to see the ocean."
Uh-huh.
"So, look.... here. It's going to be a little bit ahead, but I'm also putting a dungeon by the sea on the itinerary."
"... wow! I'm glad. Thank you, Iris!
Iris smiled with a loving face.
"Fufu. But first, I have to earn money... it's not good to stay in the wilderness even though I'm not at the dungeon."
"Really? I'm totally enjoying it.
And I owe Iris. If you can save money by continuing to stay in the wild, I'd really like to.
"Even if it's fun, you can't take a shower. Your body is sticky with sweat, and your hair gets rough and dry. You don't think so?
I don't know.
Iris is now unloading his usual side-up. Combined with an incredibly beautiful side face, that golden hair looks very beautiful.
"And the toilet, right, outside... ahh"
Iris covered his face with his hands.
Earlier, Iris put up with his limits and flew towards the bushes. When he came back, he said to Charlotte many times, "It's because it's the smaller one," and "Don't tell Lute."
"Anyway, Charlotte's a girl, so you have to be careful."
Yes.
"I've been blind for a lifetime. I can't believe I used it to pay for the inn."
Iris finally ran out of money with the payment from the store where the three of us decided to party.
"So, where's Lute?"
Hmm. Probably won't be back till morning.... "
"Why?"
Probably training.
Until he left the Mansion and met Iris, Lute did something until morning without sleeping. I happened to see it when I woke up. I think Lute was smoking.
I was by then, but now I think I've gone a long way. I'm sure they believe in the power of the box.
I guess it was a little cowardly... but I'm so glad you relied on me.
"What are you... sleeping with me?"
Iris narrowed his mouth.
"Together?
"I made a plan, so I wanted you to see it. Ahah, ahaha!
Iris is making her face red.
After completing the dungeon, I often did this.
"Does Iris like Lute?
"... eh!?"
Iris is hardened.
"Why are you banning love when you like Lute?
"S, you don't like it, do you?
"... don't you like it?
"... of course I love it as a companion. But I don't like it as a man or a woman!
"Hmm. I see. I'm sorry, it seems it was my fault."
Yes, that's right.
I made it quick. This kind of knowledge is all I've read in books, so I think I've made a mistake.
Love, huh?
I wonder what it's like to be in love.
I think I have a special feeling for Lute...
I want to stay with you forever, and I want to protect you.
He's the one who took me out, of course.
Is this love?
If this feeling has a name, it's...
I don't know yet.
Will there come a day when I will know that I lived alone?
I want to believe you're coming.
Well, let me tell you something else.
"Yeah."
I see. Oh, does Charlotte have any stunts?
"I wonder if it's a stunt... to paint."
"Oh, yeah! Nice."
"Yeah. Can I paint Iris next?
Yeah.... fun!
"Gotcha! I want to paint quickly....."
I brought a little painting material, but this is not enough.
I knew I needed money. I want to buy it as soon as I repay my debt.
Iris, do you have any stunts?
"Me? I... mmm. I can play the piano a little, but I haven't played it for a long time, so I may not be able to play it now."
"Hee......!
The piano. I think I requested it while I was at the Mansion, but it was turned down.
"Later, I can only move my ears."
"Ears?"
"Yeah, look at that."
Iris's ears twitched.
"Wow, how do you do that?
"You know, it's amazing, right?
I kept an eye on Iris's ear and stared. I wonder where I can move my ears...
"Wonder."
Pyah!
Iris trembled like an electric current flowing.
"Hey, hey. Don't talk in your ear."
"Aha, sorry."
But your face is so cute now. When drawing, use the face you saw earlier.
"Iris, look. Are my ears moving? Mmm!"
Charlotte also tried to move her ears.
It's not moving.
"Nununununununununu!
"... pu! Ah, you look amazing! Ahah, ahahaha!
Iris began to laugh with anger.
"Uh-oh!
"Hey, hey! Hihi, hihi! No, stop it... my stomach hurts... Ahah, ahahahaha!
This is how Charlotte's evening went on.
