Running Away From The Hero!

14. A World of Agriculture! (8)

I can see Elise having fun with her golden cat.

It's been a month since I had that cat as a pet.

“Nothing happened. ”

“For now. ”

‘For now’.

It took more than 20 years for my organization to collapse, but Eugracia collapsed a little more than a year ago.

Cycles are getting shorter.

So we need to keep an eye on that cat a little bit longer.

“No, it's been over two years since I became neighbor with my grandfather. We've lived here a long time? ”

“That's when I didn't know he was a sword. ”

On the contrary, it is said that the old man next door, who sometimes comes and takes the chicken, knows that it is the sword for less than half a year.

No, it's the same time as cats, so it's less than exactly two months.

It is not even half a year old.

Something could happen in half a year.

“It's a disease. ”

“If you have a suspicious disease and can live long, you can be chronic. ”

As if giving up, the scraping iron stood up and ran toward Elise and the cat.

“Let me play too! ”

“Sister!"

“Miyaowowowowowowowow!”

An Elise who gives an impression to a cat that flees in horror as soon as it runs.

It is peaceful because there is no work.

The hard harvest ended yesterday.

Thanks to you, the Storage is full of food!

There's also less food damage thanks to the underground caverns that failed to penetrate the escape route!

Now we can spend this winter scooping around with nothing going on.

I have plenty of firewood this year because I don't know when they will secretly grill potatoes and corn.

It's hard to keep a stove from turning on even in the freezing cold like last winter.

He's in his mid-40s, and he'll be in his 50s soon.

All I got in my life was the attention of crazy bitches and a life of running.

My life would have been so dull if I hadn't had a cute daughter in the last year.

- She's talking about me!

- Don't give me that shit.

Where do you compare yourself to your lovely Alice?

As expected, the ironborn doesn't have a conscience.

“It's time to get ready for the market in the next town. ”

I came to a quiet mountain village to escape, so there are some things I feel a bit uncomfortable about.

You can't get kerosene typically.

There are many other things you can't get, but most of them are in the town next door, which is a bit big. Thanks to the merchant who regularly visits the village, you can also get things that are not in the next village at the end of spring and the end of the harvest period.

And it's about that time.

That is,

“What a great time to bump into someone. ”

This would be the exact time to come across coincidences in a novel.

I didn't normally think of this, but strange things have been happening lately.

I'm sure this is prelude.

No matter how sick I am, I will believe this feeling! And my feelings were right.

… but it was hit a little differently!

# 8 Reason: A daughter's Reason.

“Dad……. What are you doing?”

Today is the day we go to the neighbouring village twice a year.

Oh, of course I'm not really going to play.

To buy crops to plant in the spring or quality farming equipment for the summer.

In the fall, it's time to go to buy what you need for winter.

But this time, my father's words grew, so my sister and I can eat a lot of delicious food.

Dad's cooking is the best, but the chicken is the best in the world, and sometimes the food next door is a delicacy.

You can't miss this opportunity!

So today I got up early in the morning and washed my hair.

After the harvest, I always slept late, so it was a little hard, but I woke up to go to the next town!

“You're already prepared, Elise. ”

If I didn't see him getting ready, I would have to tilt my head to see my father who had changed so much that I didn't even know him.

“… Seriously, what are you doing, Dad? ”

One by one, one by one, the white hair turned completely brown.

I don't know how, but the brown eyes also turned blue on one side.

He looked really suspicious in that faded white robe!

“What's going on? Are you... Oh, aren't you going to the next town today? ”

I was looking forward to it! "I couldn't help but notice how serious my father looked.

But did I look disappointed?

My father patted my head with a slight bend in his waist and said,

“You don't have to worry. I have to go to the next town today. If we don't go, we won't last the winter. ”

“Then... why? ”

“Mmmm... Mood swings?”

“Is that it? ”

He sometimes talks and acts strangely.

Maybe it's one of those days again.

“Then I'll go outside first! ”

“Yes, get in the back of the wagon first. ”

“Yes!”

I felt a bit bad about my dad's warm hands falling off, but he seemed a little busy, so I headed to the wagon in front of the yard first.

The wagon in the courtyard was borrowed from the village chief last night.

I usually borrow a cart, but my dad borrowed a wagon because my sister and I could be in danger.

The best wagon in town with a roof, even if it's a wagon for transporting goods, not for moving!

First, we put Misha, who's still sleeping, on the wagon.

I want to ride like the knights on horseback, but for me, it's too much.

That's why he stepped over the railing of the wagon, grunting and letting his father use it as a platform in advance.

After a fierce battle, I was able to cross the railing of the wagon and hug Misha who was sleeping peacefully again.

“You can sleep a little longer, Misha. ”

“Meow!”

Misha rubs her cheeks on my stomach, sitting on my knees, making sure my arms are used to it.

Thank goodness.

When he said he had a cat for the first time, his father tried to name him Tsoske.

If I hadn't stopped him then, I would have had to call him "Choskaya, Choskaya" every time I called him.

That would have been... a little embarrassing.

Sometimes I could hardly pronounce his name out there because of my father's strange behavior, but with my strong will I was able to call him Misha.

I think Misha was also thankful to me at that time.

I really do!

“Hiya!”

“Sister!"

As I was stroking Misha's body, my sister flew into the wagon.

She was the same size as me, but she was so cool that she came into the wagon at once.

“That's great!”

“Awesome!”

My sister, sitting next to me, giggling, wakes up and starts to be wary of her.

It has to be stopped, but it has to be stopped.

As a friend who has been treated by my sister, I have no choice but to understand Misha's behavior.

All I have to do is stroke Misha's back and calm her down.

“Where's Dad?”

“He's bringing a horse he borrowed yesterday. ”

My house doesn't have a stable, so I don't have a cow or a horse.

So when I go out to the village, I buy a horse from the only stable in the village, and when I come back, I move to a format that I sell again.

Other people can't handle horses, so I have to hire the guy who runs the stable as a stable, but my dad can do anything.

Yes, my dad is better at horseback riding than a stable man.

You're the best!

And I waited about 20 minutes, and the hoofbeats started coming in from a distance.

It's time for sunrise.

If it's a busy summer, it's not strange that the sun is already rising, but because winter is slowly approaching, she falls asleep late.

“Then let's go. ”

Did he just tie all the horses to a wagon?

I heard it was a tough job, but my dad got rid of it quickly and started controlling the horses.

With a rattling sound, the wheels of the wagon roll and begin to move slightly away from the house.

I've been out a few times, but it's always amazing.

It's quiet in this lively town.

There are no grilled skewers, and sometimes there are no vegetable shops that buy or sell vegetables.

And one of my happiest chickens is the chicken lady who visits every time she makes chicken!

“No one. ”

“Everyone's up late. ”

The time for him to sleep is also the time for us to sleep late.

Of course, it's possible because of the good farming.

If the bad crops make it hard to survive the winter, they said they had to plant a lot of crops in a hurry.

And they said potatoes are very useful.

The potatoes are amazing!

Roasted potatoes are delicious and fried, but they can grow in this weather!

“Oh, it's the end of town already. ”

It's so far from where we live that we can't see it.

And as I felt the wagon pause, I could already see from my experience that I was passing by the entrance of the village.

My father's voice was small, but I started hearing things very rarely.

I think I'm talking to a soldier guarding the entrance to the town.

There are no knights like the Lord here, but there were soldiers guarding the town, too.

Most of their work is guarding the entrance to the town.

Monsters have never been spotted nearby, but they're always protecting the town in case of an intrusion.

“Arlan Ellis. Going to the next town must be nice, huh? ”

“Yikes!”

“Yes! Be strong too! ”

“Hahaha, yes. Have a safe trip.”

The wagon starts and briefly talks to the soldier at the slower entrance to the village.

At the end of the wagon, I waved my hands until I couldn't see him, and returned to my seat, and Misha fled to the corner of the wagon.

“Stay close to your sister. ”

“Miyaow!”

This means you know, right?

I don't know why, but I guess it's because you feel like you're saying you never can, for some reason?

I will. Misha will be able to get along well with her sister because she's nice.

“Huh-huh-huh, do you think this kitty needs to change her habits beforehand? ”

“Miyaaaahhhh!”

I sighed as I saw Misha in battle with her sly smile up to her tail.

... It might take a little longer for you and Misha to get along.

I hold her in my arms to calm her down.

At first, I was a little bit rebellious, but soon Misha came quietly into my arms.

As I stroked my shiny hair beautifully and calmed her down, she also started to sit on the ledge behind the wagon and watch the scenery as if it wasn't fun.

If I do something wrong, I might fall, but I feel like my older sister might fall apart. although I don't think it's ever going to fall off.

And as expected, she didn't fall off the railing no matter how bumpy the wagon was.

Even though I was sitting in the corner, she was so naturally looking out the window, despite the shock of stumbling.

It was so cool that I was going to stare at it for a while, and the wagon stopped.

“Brother, we're here! ”

“Really?! ”

Get up from your seat and go to the end of your sister's wagon.

Misha ran into the corner, struggling as if she were still a herd, but all she had to do was take a quick look, and I decided to leave her alone.

“It's true!”

There is a wall so high that you can't even compare it to our village.

A wall made of stone. It's about three inches thick.

And the soldiers here are wearing shiny armor unlike our village.

“Enter!”

“Ahh!”

While holding out my head carefully, I was going to stare at the huge wall whenever I saw it, and suddenly the wagon left and almost fell down.

“Be careful.”

“Thank you, sis. ”

But I could not fall because my sister caught me.

“You shouldn't be surprised just like that. There are so many bigger walls in the world! ”

“Really?"

“My brother doesn't know the world yet! If you're going to talk to me like this, I've seen the walls of the capital city of the Karan Empire! ”

“Fantastic!”

The Karean Empire!

The walls of a slightly larger town nearby are so magnificent, how magnificent are the walls of the world's most powerful empire!

“Don't, don't! Build a wall out of gold, or do you automatically cast magic from the wall? ”

“Huh? No. It's just so big and thick. Oh, but the outer walls of the Eugracia institute are magical. Inside.”

“Inside?”

I was surprised for a moment, but my head tilted back to what my sister said.

The purpose of the outer wall is to stop thieves and enemies from coming in from the outside. Why is magic being launched inside?

Have they already made it assuming an intrusion?

“It's just because of who lives in the school. ”

She looked at me with a look of understanding.

“Sis, just a little more... ”

“We're here.”

I wanted to ask more about what my sister was curious about, but my older sister snuck out of the wagon because of what my father said earlier.

“Hehe……. ”

I wonder why magic is released from the walls!

“But I'll ask that later.... Come on, Missha! ”

“Yaow.”

You can ask it when you go back anyway.

Once we get to town....

Enjoying is more important!
