Running Away From The Hero!

15. Overwhelmed? (7)

Many people think that it is the beginning of farming from the warm spring.

But the beginning of farming is winter.

Especially since barley and wheat were planted just before winter, the town should be busy from the beginning of March, usually in February, for barley trampling and wheat trampling.

Everyone in the army who has seen a wire fence in winter knows, but the land in winter is very solid.

Thanks to this, barley or wheat cannot be rooted properly, but if you leave it alone, you will not receive nutrients properly in the spring when you have to grow.

Then let's blow up the farm!

Therefore, in order to live hard, we must tread hard on barley and wheat at this time.

Well, it's also essential because it helps with pruning and growing stronger. It also has advantages.

“Hiya!”

At a distance, your daughter is working hard on barley and wheat, hiding her cute pink hair as a fur hat.

Cuteness itself looks like stepping on barley and wheat while jumping hard because of the weight loss.

But I had to watch her from afar.

“Dad, come with me! ”

“Ellis is slow. ”

At a distance of more than 20 meters, my daughter said to me with tears, but I boldly step forward on barley and wheat.

Farming is not busy.

No, farming is nothing compared to having fun with your daughter.

I have enough money to buy and eat wheat and barley until I die!

But it's not the same for me to work hard.

“Dad! Stepmother! ”

It was because of the daughter who was even looking for her stepmother during a short break.

“No, I told you, Ellis, This father doesn't need a stepmother. ”

It's been a long time since I've been married.

Well, I wasn't a loner, but I gave up marriage a long time ago as long as I was part of a rogue organization.

I've never been happier living with a married man in an evil organization.

Most of the time, it's just the end of a family being held hostage, or a married opponent being turned into a spy and betrayed together.

So the reason I'm single is because of my old organizational life.

That's it.

Really!

“Dad, you have to have a lot of manpower to farm. But there are two girls and a father in my house. We can't support him when he gets old like this! You don't like that, do you? ”

Even after a brief thought, your daughter did not stop attacking marriage.

“Having a son will solve everything, Dad! I'm gonna have three brothers and get rich! ”

Daughter, your father is richer than you can imagine.

Even if we are rich now, even if we spend all this money, we will be rich even if we find the money we hid as a different identity. If we find the money we cannot get out because of the Empire, we will be even richer than we can imagine.

You can make more money than a nobleman in a small territory if you survive the evil organization for 10 years.

“Is that so?"

But I can't honestly say that.

Your daughter said, "Where did you get that money? ’Although it is difficult to ask the question, it is also very bad to hide your identity when you hear the sound of wealth while roughly farming the villagers.

You're not even working. You're rich. In a mountain village like this?

No matter who sees it, he'll look suspicious.

That's why I have to hide the fact that I'm rich.

I have to hide it...

“So you're in favor, too? You don't have to worry about me. Probably the same opinion, right? Dad, even if it's a fresh start, we're okay with it! ”

I want to say something because of my daughter who is sticking to me and saying strange things.

Oh, and your daughter?

You want me to start over with someone who's never left?

Isn't that a little harsh?

“My sister says there are a lot of people who like my dad, right? ”

“No, that's not it. ”

It presses down on her talking head, shining eyes.

There was some dirt on the fur hat, but she stuck to me more as if she didn't care.

“Why?”

“I'm happy enough with my Elise. ”

“Woof……. Well, I'm glad, but... ”

I wanted to keep watching my daughter's cute face as she blushed, but I'm sure she'll stick around again if I miss this time.

Villains, farmers, and timing are important for you!

Former villain and current farmer, I can't miss this timing.

“Then it's time for a break! ”

“Eeet! Here he goes again! ”

Her daughter, who was in happiness, had just regained her senses, but she had already missed her chance to just shake her feet.

“Yay! See you later, Dad! ”

“Come on, we have to go to the forge after this? Let's get this over with!”

My daughter is following me hard, smiling and treading on wheat and barley again, but no matter how fast I am, I cannot be the same as an adult.

“Dad, slow down! ”

“Hahaha! You'll be a farmer at that rate. You're a long way from home, girl! ”

“Yippee!”

Keeping my daughter away from me with a furious look, I was able to avoid her snarking again today.

# 7 Their Reason: An Old Man's Reason.

It's difficult. Very difficult.

“Khhh! One more shot! ”

“Khhh! Another round for me, too! ”

The two girls who emptied the beer cooler gave me a beer.

Of course, only the glasses are beer glasses, and the contents are only beverages with a little honey added to the fruit.

But the difficulties don't change.

“Don't you think you're being too hard on him? ”

“Well, I think that's what all the girls who like my dad would think. ”

The children next door, who received a new drink in a beer, mourn their debt.

Meln, who they call their father, has gone to the forge to inspect the farming equipment for the year.

Thanks to them, I was the only one who could accept their debt.

“Grandpa, it's not weird to go to a birdhouse at your age. Isn't that right?”

The appearance of Elise next door, who purring with her cute lips, was definitely cute, but it was not that different from someone who was drunk.

Did I bring you the wrong fruit drink? ’

I thought about it for a moment, but I drank a drink, but it was not fruit wine, but ordinary fruit drinks.

“Khh……. Yeah, I'd just give up and live with a girl who says she likes him. ”

“Right? We can create a better environment for farming! ”

“Well, the problem is that people who like my dad are not farmers... ”

“Farming? Why? ”

“There are a lot of people who can do this for us. ”

Since there was no refreshment for the children to eat, I gave them the jerky I had with my drink, and consecutive sighs came out of the mouths of children who drink fruit drinks as a drink.

“Ahh... Are all the potential stepmoms looking at farming badly? ”

“Mmmm... Well, I wouldn't say no if he asked me to marry him. ”

“I'm glad.”

Chewing the jerky thistles and passing on a sip of fruit drink! It looks familiar to me.

That's why they tell you to watch your step in front of the kids.

“Would you like to join me for a drink? ”

I was so ashamed of my past that I looked at her smiling out of the cup.

“No, it's fine. ”

“It's good.”

It should be awkward to put your mouth to the cup, but it is not awkward because it is the usual me and Melon.

I couldn't help but have a beer in my house...

As soon as the kids leave, I'll have to go to town and get some normal glasses.

“Grandfather, how can you save your stepmother? ”

When I was having such unpleasant concerns, Elise suddenly asked me a question.

“Mmmm... That's ……. ”

It's a life I've lived by throwing away my family because of my sword.

In other words, there was no word "wife" in my life.

But it's a bird burial.

I could really use some advice on my second marriage.

To me who has never been married!

“Mmmm... I wonder if each other's minds are important.... ”

Marriage is a relationship between a person and a person.

It seems natural for nobles to be married, but many things end badly.

After a lifetime of seeing each other, loving each other is essential.

That's what I think…….

Boom!

“Grandpa, that's a terrible idea! ”

“Well, is that so? ”

Now I am strongly denied by a child who is a little over 10 years old.

“Each other's minds matter! If we don't love each other, the more time passes, the more likely our family is to be destroyed! ”

“That's right……. ”

“But that's not all there is to the family! Households need to meet more conditions! How much they can afford to live on in a year! If you are farming, pay taxes to the lord and see how much money you can earn to eat! And how much extra food you can stockpile in case something goes wrong! ”

“I see……. ”

“I see, Grandpa is underestimating marriage! Other than that, you have to consider how many children you can raise and how you can distribute your property after you die! ”

“I'm sorry. I think I was too shallow about marriage……. ”

My apology continued with Elise's nagging.

The more I listened to the story, the more frustrated Elise's criticism was that I would praise me for my unmarried past.

“Understand? Marriage is that important! ”

“I see. ”

Ar, Elise's sister, handed me the Cup, after being criticized by the child so slightly.

“Old man, have a drink. ”

“Thank you."

It's bitter. It's definitely a sweet fruit drink. Why is it bitten like this?

Chewing the meat from Ahr's thistle, I drank a fruit drink that had lost its sweetness thanks to the seasoning of life's bitterness.

Bitter. The world's bitterness is bitter.

“Grandpa is not helping either.... ”

“I'm sorry.”

Seeing Elise dead in the grass, an apology popped out.

I don't know what to apologize for!

“I need to get my dad married soon so everything will be happy. ”

“It means something different than what my brother says, but I strongly agree. Shortcut to world peace. ”

Let each other complain, then smash the glass.

And after having a pleasant drink, I make a "yaaaa" sound.

“One more drink! ”

“Another round! ”

Give me the Cup again.

“Yes, drink a lot. ”

Take the glass and pour it naturally, and the story begins again.

The plan is to send the same melon as before to the cage.

Thanks to Ellis, who ignores me and tells me that my answer was not cool before, I just poured a glass of fruit drink into an empty glass like the owner of a bar.

“Khhh……. I'm going to send you to the cage! ”

“But what if my stepmother takes my dad away from me? ”

“Ugh... I can't do that, but... I can do this! You're going to help! ”

“Hmm? What, watching my brother do it? ”

“Here's a small one, but take it, sis. ”

“Hmmm. I don't usually take things like this.... ”

“I've put plenty in. ”

“Huh, this brother, huh…. This is... ”

When I saw Elise's act of putting some Jerky into my heart and Ahr's act of pretending not to accept it, I lost my words.

“Elise, Ahr? I don't understand what the hell he's doing, but can you tell me? ”

“This? This is for people who pay bribes with their older sisters and people who naturally take it! ”

I had no choice but to think that there would be so many stories for Mellon to tell when he returned to Elise's confident appearance.

“Ehey, I can't help it. ”

Meanwhile, Elise glares at Ahr, who tucks his jerky into his arms.

“You're taking care of it, aren't you, sis? ”

“Ahem, trust me! Even if Stepmother comes, she'll take care of everything! ”

“You're the best! ”

Yes, welcome. Meln.

If I don't speak very seriously, I won't be able to live with myself because of the vase.

“Here, for my father's birdhouse! ”

“Cheers!"

Tak!

Seeing the cute children drinking fruit drinks again with the sound of cloudy wooden cups clashing, I had to sigh.

Meln……. Please come quickly!

Go, go, go, go!
