7 Stories [Old days ②]

"That's five sheets of silver fox fur... it'll all be 5000 dallas, okay?

"Wait. This one belongs to the one who was the boss of the herd. It's bigger than the others, so why don't you give me a little bit of an omelet?

What complained about the assessed amount from the front against the tough jerk at the Adventurer Guild material buyout reception is the beautiful woman - Alisha - whose feminine ups and downs have become more prominent in her body than when she was a child.

"Oh, man. Alisha... don't do this. You're embarrassed."

"What are you talking about? Thanks to Rahal for his hard work, you couldn't let him get away with it, could you? If you don't take back the hard work, you're gonna lose it."

"... then let's just buy this fur for 1500 dallas. Is that all right?

Alisha smiled and nodded, satisfied with the forehead offered by Oyaji.

A beautiful coin glowing in silver sounds overlapping, and Alisha and Rahal share it with each other.

"Wait a minute. I'll take 250. It's Allisha's job to increase the buyout, isn't it?

"It's okay. I told you earlier. Rahal's the one who struggled this time, so that's what you should keep."

Rahal turned red in his face and pulled from body to body to Alisha, who tried to force him to hold the silver coin in half.

"I get it. I'll take it, just stay away."

"Yeah, well, you just have to be honest with me from the start. Is that it?... isn't that Rick over there?

Talking intimately to an official woman at the reception counter, a short distance from where the two were, was a person wearing healthy brown skin and clothing embroidered with gold thread.

"- Actually, this is how I got out of the Lordship Palace to see you."

"Um, I have a problem with people saying that on this occasion."

"I'm sorry. With the pleasure of seeing your face, I forgot those considerations. You just have to do it once. Would you turn your best smile when you work adventurers on me, too?

They just line up teeth-floating complaints, but their faces. They work with neat men exerting along with an unusual smile.

"Um... after work, I'd like to talk to you for a minute."

"Okay! I'll definitely pick you up."

Successfully committed, Rick smiled with a dull smile and was called out when he left the Adventurer's Guild.

"There it is. Didn't Rick dictate the other day about the girl who was in the tavern? What's wrong with that girl?

"Yeah. They found me dictating about another girl who was in a liquor store, and I was bintered with my thoughts"

It was Rahal who answered Alisha's question with a bitter laugh.

"Wow! Rahal to Alisha? Don't surprise me. Rahal! Don't talk about the private circumstances of the guests!

"Nothing's good. Even I heard it from the master of the tavern. I know most people who are already in and out of that tavern."

"Become... what the fuck!? Damn, that jerk"

Rahal, who worked at the tavern, but he still keeps going without quitting, even now that the moon has flown. And lately, he's even been making money at the request of the Alliance.

"Ah! You two were doing me a favor!? I told you to call me too in that case"

"I tried to speak up, but only today, Rick didn't show up, so you can't help it."

Alisha tells him to fool the kid.

"After my sister and brother are born, I will educate them more rigorously than ever to be exemplary! You know, my father tells me that it's hard to get out of here."

She recently gave birth to Rick a twin sister and brother. They've often told me to have consciousness as a brother, but it can't be that easy for people to change.

"Did you struggle and dictate the receptionist first?

"Ugh... so, how was your accomplishment today?

"Defeat five silver foxes and your fur is five and a half pieces of silver."

"Ooh, ooh! Silver Fox furs are used to decorate fancy furniture and clothing, right? That's amazing! Compared to when I was happy to take down Smogob, I made a mistake."

"Smogob... oh, smallgoblin. Speaking of which, when we first met, I remember thinking about Rick."

Alisha reminds me of what happened a few years ago and gives me a nostalgic look.

"Right. A lot of women have slapped me on the cheek so far, but Alisha's hurt the most. I thought my face would deform."

"I told you I'd be mad if I peeked."

- After that, the three people who defeated Small Goblin and then returned to the city became more and more friendly.

Rahal took advantage of his free time to train knives and daggers, often at the request of the Adventurer Guild with Alisha. Rick was still stealing the eyes of the escort and playing with the two of them, but he's getting more and more faces in the liquor store at night.

Now, if we were to explain what Alisha looks like, it means she's a bright, active, beautiful woman.

She didn't tell me why she's an adventurer in Erindal or anything, but the handling of bows seems to have been trained as a part of her education since she was a little girl, and somehow she's predicted to be a former nobleman's warrant because of her noble behavior.

When Rick and Rahal spoke such speculation in front of him, he returned the words to leave it to your imagination.

There are many occasions when other adventurers invite me to take a request with them, whether I have become more and more attractive as a woman these days.

"Hey, it's all three of us, and why don't we go to dinner now? I feel like eating something delicious to reward myself for my hard work. I'll give you the luxury, okay?

Alisha rocked a bag of silver coins over her palm.

"Meals…? I'm sorry, but I have to do a lot of prepping to have a hot talk with the receptionist. Why don't you and Alisha and Rahal have some fun this time?

"... yes. You tell me to take you with me, you tell me I can't eat because I'm busy, you change your opinion a lot corny. You are."

After a cold glance at Rik, Alisha turned to Rahal with a warm smile.

"Then why don't you and Rahal and I go today?

Rahal broke his soft smile and replied with a slightly unfortunate lowering of his brow.

"Uh... that, Alisha. It's hard to say, but it's time for me to show my face to the tavern, too. I'll be ready before the store opens."

With the brilliant meal that was on his mind far away, Alisha obviously lowers her tension.

"Yes, what. But you can't help it if you're working."

"If you like, why don't you come to our liquor store for a while? I'm confident in good liquor, and I can serve food that's unbeatable in those stores. I'll make it cheaper."

"Hmm, that might be good too"

"Ah! Rahal, you! Before this, you told me that you were charging me more than normal for annoyance!

"... right. Maybe we can still witness Rick getting bintered today, huh?

"Okay, I've made up my mind! Let's do that."

"You guys..."

I was wondering if these three smiling friends would last forever.

◇◇◇◆◆◆◇◇◇

- A lot of months go by.

"I'm going to Imperial City!? What's going on all of a sudden?

Excited to raise his voice was Rahal rearranging the bottles displayed on the liquor store shelves.

It is Rik and Alisha who are sitting in the chair for the guests, and because of Alisha who said she had something important to talk about, the three of them are face-to-face in the liquor store before opening.

"Take it easy, Rahal. Let's hear it till the end."

"Ah, oh. Sorry."

"... I was born in the Fulbright family in Imperial City."

"Speaking of the Fulbright family... it's a prestigious nobleman I know"

"Oh well. You said Rahal was a former nobleman. Maybe I'm famous, but I'm not the official Fulbright daughter."

With her elbows on the table and cheeks on her cheeks, Alisha slowly spins her words.

"They couldn't quite have children between the owners of the Fulbright family and their wives. My mother was a maid of honor working for the Fulbright family, but she's a serious and bright man, so I'll listen to the Lord, who was troubled by all things. And so after a while... my mother caged me."

"While I'm discussing my concerns... you mean"

To Rick's words, Alisha nods honestly.

"She didn't say anything about it either. So I was able to be born safe. Let's talk about raising me as a child of the Lord and his wife."

But it didn't.

"Soon afterwards, my wife gave me a long-awaited child, so the story of making me my official successor was completely gone. But I didn't just get dumped all of a sudden, I got a decent education, so I appreciate it."

Because he was also near the age, the true child of the Lord and his wife - Elsa - was raised like a sister.

However, Elsa said she was the exact opposite type of Alisha who was weak and played well outside.

The turning point came after the two of us grew up a lot.

There was a circular welcoming the Fulbright lady into the Emperor's side chamber shortly.

We can expect the Fulbright family to develop further by gaining connection with the Emperor, albeit in the side chambers.

It was naturally Elsa who chose to be a sideroom candidate for that thought.

Even as Alisha, I knew Elsa, my real son, would be chosen, and I wasn't dissatisfied there.

"Is that what you mean? But why did Alisha become an adventurer? You didn't kick me out of the house."

To Rahal's inquiry, Alisha slightly clouded her expression.

"Elsa thought of me like a true sister, so she tried to resign herself that I should marry her, who was also strong in body. My mother and I left the house because we owed them money and we didn't want to go any further. I can't have them feeding me all the time, so maybe they were just fine."

So Alisha makes him try to imitate the way he pulls his bow toward Rik.

"Fortunately, I thought I'd be a hunter because my bow skill was such that I couldn't beat my mentored teacher, but because of this, why don't you do a job that helps people in need?

"That's cheap. So you're an adventurer?

"Oh, Rick. I remember helping you out of a small goblin when we first met. My mistake."

……

Having shut up about the words, Rick drank up the liquor poured into the glass to encourage the story to continue.

"I was satisfied with my present life, but the other day I received a letter from my Lord. They've broken my health since Elsa became a sideroom, and, uh, I think I'm in a little trouble."

"" Trouble?

The two voices that were listening overlapped, and Alisha dampened her lips with chives and liquor.

"Elsa and I were close, so he told the Emperor all kinds of things about me. She was better than herself, brighter and better... and praised me anyway."

"Well, that's true. And you're smart."

"Alisha's bright, so I feel energized when we're together."

To the words of Rik and Rahal, Alisha, whose cheeks were red as rarely lit,

"Hey, Rick! What are you talking about?"

And it was best to give it back.

"And anyway! So the emperor took an interest in me. He said he wanted to see me once and contacted the owner. I can't say no, and it said in a letter that you'd come back to me if you could."

For now, finishing the conversation to a delimitation made the liquor store quiet with Singh before opening.

"That's... that's a lot more of a scale story again"

"The emperor gave Alisha...?
