Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai

I and Rumba separated from Kojiro at Kawahara and started walking freely over the bridge as intended.

After walking for a while, the residential area gradually became quieter, and there were more rice fields and mountains than people.

Apparently because of the distance from the center of the city, it became such an agricultural area.

It is very nostalgic to see the scenery of these rice fields, not the wheat fields.

Perumba was interested in seeing these rice fields before.

"Oh, there's a red building over there."

Rumba said, pointing forward, while they were walking leisurely in the agricultural area.

Looking forward, as Perumba said, there was a mountain, and there was a red building like a shrine.

It is in a very high place, and there are hundreds of steps to get there.

… Perhaps you have to climb hundreds of steps on that steep slope to get there.

"Yeah, it's red and beautiful. It looks like there's nothing here and should we go back to the city?"

"No, wait, Al. Don't mind the red building over there?"

"I'm not bothered, let's go back"

"But I'm worried. Al, let's go."

Rumba pulls my hand and starts walking, though I definitely deny it.

Rumba completely ignores my intentions, right?

"Uh !? It's troublesome to go up the stairs on such a steep slope. I'm absolutely tired!

"What if you thought you didn't like it? Then why don't you take the stairs and carry it with me?"

"Oh, that's fine."

"Somehow Al is easy to understand."

Perumba said so and lifted my hand.

No, nobody makes the same decision if they look at such an endless staircase. That's not easy enough to go with a little curiosity.

When you actually go, it's a pattern that you regret, saying, "Oh, it's worse than I thought."

While thinking about such things, walking across the countryside, it became like a forest full of trees.

However, there was a building like a shrine on the top, and the way people came in and out was relatively well maintained and it was easy to walk.

A lot of sunbeams shine through the ground and continue down the road. It seemed to lure me and rumba back and forth, and quickly passed through the woods as I was following the path of the sunbeams.

A flat open place that turns around from a road like a slope. Behind it were a series of stairs leading up to the shrine from a distance.

It's just a painful amount to think about the effort you have already done. The stairs in front of me seem to have more steps than when viewed from a distance.

"Okay, I'm going to go up!"

"I'll leave it."

I seemed to remember my promise, Rumba said, and lifted my body lightly and put it on my right shoulder.

If you look at the top far away, you will climb an endless step.

Perumba jumps two steps at a stretch because of his large feet.

It's interesting because it goes faster than my seven-year-old child. Rumba moves away from the ground with just one or two steps, and the line of sight rises.

When I climbed the stairs, the swaying was inevitable.

But it's not bad because you can see the distant scene as the steps rise. We can see the forests and countryside where we were walking, the riverside and the bridge where we met Kojiro.

The slope is a bit too steep and the bottom is scary, but I don't want to look at it.

"Well, if you climb this step all at once, your feet will never get tired."

When I was looking at the distant scenery, I muttered while breathing out that Rumba had finished climbing the stairs.

I can't seem to be tired at all. It's strange that I should have kept the pace by skipping two steps all the time.

I was amazed at Rumba's physical strength, which seemed infinite, and Rumba lowered me to the ground.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

Roomba glances forward and screams.

At the end of your line of sight, there is a shrine with beautiful red pillars. The building itself created a solemn atmosphere just by looking at the large and beautiful roof.

There is no gorgeousness as in a castle or a castle, and it seems to emit godliness in harmony with nature.

"Is it a residence where the great people of Kagura live? I didn't have any servants or security, so I just dropped in."

Rumba seems to mistake this for a mansion where a great person lives.

If anyone who doesn't know anything looks at this, it's unavoidable to misunderstand it.

"It's not particularly closed, there's no security guard, it's not a residence where great people live ... I'm sure."

"Yes, then what is this building?"

Rumba looks around while twisting her neck. As I turned my gaze in the same way, I saw a girl appearing from the shrine building.

A cute but well-rounded rounded face with crispy black eyes. The hair is trimmed at the shoulders and reflects the sun's light to make it look shiny.

She is wearing a red-based Kagura suit and is almost the same age as me.

The girl who looked at me did not seem scared and stared at me unusually.

"... Rumba, there's a child there."

"Oh? That's true."

When Rumba stares, the girl is upset if she is a little surprised at Rumba's strength. Nevertheless, he never looked away, staring at Rumba.

Did something like curiosity win over fear?

Because our hair color and features are different from Kagura people.

"It's unusual for a girl to see rumba but not escape"

"Al, what does that mean?"

"If you look in the mirror you can see the meaning."

There is a man like a pirate with such a big and strong eyepatch, and it is rare that he does not vibrate.

I and Rumba said, staring at the girl who came to her face.

"Hey, spring. What are you looking at in that place?"

As we stared silently for a while, a boy-like voice was heard from behind the door where the girl looked.

Then, a boy with a face similar to a girl came out of his face.

"Hmm? I'm unfamiliar hair color and features. Are you a foreigner?"

A boy with short black hair and black eyes. This is wearing blue Kagura clothes, and she looks a bit fearless as to whether she is older than a girl.

Is they two brothers or sisters with similar faces?

When I was thinking of such a thing, the girl who was staring at me came close.

"Hey, spring?"

The boy, who looks like an older brother, stops, but the girl comes here without concern.

Then he stood in front of me and opened his mouth.

"Spring, eight years old. You?"

A girl who says only the name below and asks him briefly.

The black eyes do not shake and I look straight at my eyes.

What is it? Don't feel like there is dignity and willingness that you can't imagine as an ordinary girl.

"... Alfleet, seven years old."

Similarly, if you give your name and age in the same way, spring will laugh happily with Ninmari.

"I'm older!"

"Oh, yes.

I guess I'm only one year old or a few months away, but I guess it's about the age I want to see a younger child than myself.

This kind of personality tends to have many older children. I used to have that time.

"Are you sure? I'm older?"

"Yeah, I know properly."

When I'm replying with a smile, Spring turns my eyes wondering if I'm worried.

But it's a daring girl who doesn't be afraid of people who are new to you and who are new to you. She looks a little noble and looks like an aristocrat but looks interesting.

"I'm Rumba! I'm thirty-six years old!"

"No"

Perumba responds vaguely to the answer that Perumba did not think he would give the same name.

It's not enough to escape looking at Rumba's face, but it seems a little scary when approached.

I'm just starting to hear Rumba's age.

Well, but I heard that you're about the same age as Nord and Elna, and that's about it. It doesn't look like that at all.

"And you?"

Perumba turns his eyes to a boy who comes after spring.

"Is it me? ... Um, Shuichi, 11 years old."

"Gahaha! I'm younger than me."

"Oh, oh, that's right."

Shuichi answers while Rumba is hitting her back.

I don't know well, but thanks to the spring, I was introduced to a strange self.
