Simmering Jams at the Edge of the Forest

The moon changed and the days grew longer while the clinic nanny and the mansion were grasshopping. Whether the blueberries planted beside the backyard are sunny or dirty, they are starting to bear fruit faster than any tree in the village.

Pick so-called summer vegetables such as early raw tomatoes and zucchini in a cage and give your thoughts to the menu tonight...... caponata, ratatouille, snuggly pasta...... I wonder what Adelaide will say.

Finally, a customer arrives from Wang Du today. Instead, it should have been time to arrive in the village by now.

In fact, they say this village called Meeserie is the territory of Lord Adelaide's house, Count Dustin's house. Well, on second thought, nobility is a lord. If I said it in Japan, it would be the lord. I was surprised because I didn't know your lord.

So, after Adelaide's husband died, his son, Walter, took over the throne and said he was the lord… I'll put "Dear" on it, no matter how many "Bad Kids” I say. I'm a sociopath, too. Courtesy and social codes are important, aren't they, Pup?

The Dustin family has other territories, and they usually leave it entirely to the village chief because this is a smaller size and population. So, it's been a long time since Lord Sama arrived, so I plan to do that or this thing in the village with the village chief first, and then stay at Master Adelaide's mansion. I hear you two arrived around the evening.

Isn't "invitee" the main thing? The scratch is gorgeous to let it go through. 'Cause I don't know what else to talk about... No, I don't. Mostly about the money. I'm in trouble with Adelaide right now, but the cost of living is out of the country.

What do you mean? The Lord of the village is Count Dustin, but this mansion and surrounding land belong to Lord Adelaide personally. Finally, Master Adelaide lives not on the Count's budget, but on personal trust property. I've rolled in there, but 'invitee' life support is also a national duty, he said, and I have the country taking care of me.

In other words, I am currently fed by the taxes of this country and by Master Adelaide.

Sure, I appreciate it because I've been flown without a job or a place to live, but I feel sorry for something like this as a person who's been working for a long time as a society. Anyway, if you're older, you're still young. I want to heal quickly and become independent.

Looking up over the straw hat the day that went up completely high...... the sky getting bluer every day. The same empty color I know. Same wind you know. But a place I don't know. Unknown air.

Though I feel summer is close to the sun, the breeze blowing is refreshing and comforting. Thin long sleeves are just enough if you don't move.

I was looking up at the sky, and Buddy pulled my skirt on me, who had come near me before I knew it. Because I was going to the woods earlier, or I'm putting fairies on my back and tail...... that's a lot today. Hino, uh... seven people. Oh, what, he's holding his head, stroking it, stroking it. Yeah, she's cute.

Then he leaves the acre in the field and puts the vegetable cage down, stroking it with a washer washer. The kids today like nori, on their shoulders or hanging around their hats. Oh, come on, no in your clothes, hiccup, tickle, there you go, neck, hey, buddy. Help me. Hat fell off, hiccup. I can't do it anymore ~

"Heh, I've never seen it before. This is the Egg of the Fairy, right? What, oh, there you go... did you see Walter, too?

"... oh"

Who.

Who, two men who don't know their faces in this village, will be none other than today's guests! You mean, not too soon? It's coming in the evening, if it's still past noon. So, I wonder why you suddenly show up in the backyard!? And don't stand behind me! Me, my clothes are so messed up right now!?

"Oh, I'm sorry, 'invitee' lady, you surprised me. Stand up?"

Yeah, I'm surprised. I can't even fix my clothes if I don't stand up. Yes, thank you, don't laugh. Turn around a little!

Ask the two of you to turn around with your fingertips, pay the dirt on your clothes, and get your chest fucked up by the fairies. My hair... I had no choice but to fix the rosy half-ups with my hands and take a breath for now and ask Buddy to tell me already.

"Again. I'm Hugh Townsend from the Magic Academy, your beautiful 'invitee' lady. I'll leave it with you later."

Wow, charlatan. A red-haired man bent his arm in front of his chest and deliberately thanked him beautifully. A magic school means a wizard, and he wears your black robe from his shoulder. Yeah, it's easy to understand. I wonder if he also has a cane.

This one smiled snugly like there was no such thing as an earlier insanity here, and I was a little surprised when I returned my learned bow to Master Adelaide. They praised me for being good at bowing, but the style was different. I haven't had Dada in eight years at the department store.

"You're so unexpected... hehe, we seem to fit in."

Why not? I don't dislike the sound of laughing funny and I don't feel malicious, though.

"Oh, look, don't even say hi to Walter."

"... it's Walter Dustin"

Wow, I didn't see his face a lot because he was behind me, but this guy is huge! Still, it's very powerful! Oh, this is Adelaide's son...? Yep!?

Funny, the old pictures on the fireplace in the living room looked a little more like Dear Adelaide. I don't see any other similarities besides the color of my eyes even if I look one step closer.

Even though the slightly habitual brunette seems soft, what a tightness of a lightly colored eye. You don't have to stare at me that much. Am I so suspicious? Very unlikely to be the same color as Adelaide's gentle eyes.

Gatai goodness to this intimidation. If I hadn't heard of assistant prime minister, I would have definitely mistaken him for a military man. What do you mean, even from the top of your noble clothes, you can see that your muscles stick together? Rather than Macho...... it's a mess.

I was kind of mocked to be viewed to quantify Giroli, so I asked him to get his hands on it with a mindful sales smile. The hand I was surprised at was big and thick... this sword Dako? Why aren't you a penny, hey, I knew you were this human soldier. At least it's not the hands of a civilian, what do you do with an assistant prime minister? Fight?

When I wrote it in my palm, it was hard, and instead of replying, wrinkles were engraved more and more between my brows, so I gave it back with an even better smile. Hmm, don't lick the customer service business. “Customers in trouble." I think I've been dealing with them for years. The sales smile I worked out "anytime, anywhere, anybody" is alive and well.

Take the vegetables and hat you left down there, Buddy. Let's go home.

"Oh, what? What's with the lady?

"... Shut up"

"Again, a lot. Hey, lady, what did you write?

Just checking. "Do you like cookies? 'Right.

"Welcome home, Margaret. Was that a good idea?

Kokocon three knocks out of the kitchen as usual, and when I go in as, Master Adelaide, who was turning his back on this one and pinching the bread fabric, talks to me without raising his face.

When I approached him to show him the vegetables I had picked and kissed him lightly on the cheek right now, he raised his face and finally noticed the visitor and circled his eyes. I suppose so.

"... well..."

"I beg your pardon for the disrespect that suddenly disturbs you from this place. I'm Hugh Townsend from the sorcery. I'll take care of you for a while."

"This is Adelaide Dustin. Welcome... and Walter."

"We're out of time"

What the hell is that? An unimpressive greeting is worse than when you introduced yourself to me. Mr. Hugh stood by me because he could. You're a charming, normal person, this one... but close, it's hard to move when you're standing at a distance where your shoulders bump into each other.

If I wanted you to stay away from me and look up at Hugh's face, my green eyes would laugh funny and look down at me... oh no, the color of my eyes really like emerald. Oh, it's so beautiful I've never seen it before. Sure, it's pretty rare, I think I heard it's less than Blue Eyes. I don't know if it's here.

"... lady, I can light you up when you can just stare so close and serious"

Oh, excuse me. I had better ignore the private zone because I wanted to take a closer look at it. I don't know if I'm used to seeing people, but this guy is blushing.

"Oh, you don't have very good eyesight. How was that satisfying?

No, I wanted to watch some more because it's beautiful... so how can you light it up? You're such an easy redneck to the ear because you want to talk lightly about the wind you're accustomed to, and you're an imbalanced person. Actually, a pure one?

"By the way, I asked you if you were coming here in the evening. Is there a problem...?

"Oh, no, I didn't. I figured I could just say hello first. Let me put my stuff down and I'll go to the village chief. Hey, Walter."

"... you decided on your own. I don't know."

Oh, you got the longest response today.

In the meantime, I asked him to bring the luggage that he had left in the front yard, and I decided to show him to the guest room upstairs.

"Oh, here's what was going on inside. You're old but clean. Well maintained and comfortable to live in."

No, you were from this village, Mr. Hugh.

"Yes, that's why I was sent. Because when I was fourteen, my whole family moved over to King's Capital, so, uh, it's been fifteen years? Maybe more. I saw it a little when I was coming, but you still have a pretty knowledgeable face."

Well, it's a country, and I have quite a few classmates left in my area.

"When did Walter come last time, about the end of the year vacation?

"... no. When I was a kid, I just stopped by for half a day eight years ago."

Oh, what a waste. Even though it seems good for kids to play in the woods behind it or something. So, I knew I'd never come, Dear Adelaide. Let me be alone. This big boy is gone.

I was told it was okay because I could unload the shipment myself, and when I just showed them around and went back to the kitchen, I stood beside Master Adelaide and started circling bread with him.

"Did those kids come directly to the backyard?

Yes, I thought I sprung up. I hope you were surprised. Answer with a snort.

"I thought it would be a little later...... but it would have been better than to welcome you now or now"

Maybe it is. From Adelaide, who said the most nervous reunion would have been light-hearted and distracted, the naughty feeling she had felt the past few days had disappeared. And then, hopefully, we can talk about it thoroughly... I want to think that that attitude of that guy is because there is a foreign molecule called me.

"That kid would be heartless. Weren't you scared?

Shake your head and deny Master Adelaide's inquiry. I didn't think the expression was scary because I felt no malice or harm at all, although the wrinkles between the brows were the default on the strong side. I mean, me, I thought you were intimidated. Is that normal mode? Lady Adelaide chuckled at me surprised.

"... I felt a little softer. Is it because you're here, Margaret?

Seriously! With that?... As it is, well, Dr. Daniel and Mark are also supposed to come over at night and make it dinner for everyone, so you'll be fine.

When I put a cloth on the bread that I had finished rounding, they left when I went to the village.
