Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai
Night watch
Dinner was cooked comfortably in a house made by earth magic, and by the end of eating, the area was dark.
However, we in the house do not have trouble in the dark. Light guides are installed in various parts of the house.
Thanks to that, the interior of the house can be kept as bright as the daytime.
Mother Elna, Father Nord and Elinora are sitting in a chair and talking, and me and Silvio are sitting on a sofa and reading a book.
Mr. Peru was watching the horse outside, and Mina was happily eating after-cookies.
I don't think I'm on the road, but everyone was comfortable with how comfortable I was.
After spending a while, Dad Nord comes up suddenly.
"... Let's get out on the lookout soon."
"Watch?"
Listening to Nord's words, I tilt my head.
"That's right. Many monsters become active at night. The mountains are near, and no matter how many buildings there are, it's not safe. Make a lookout with
"Well, there's a lookout? There's such a fine house, isn't it a monster that won't attack you with caution?"
I don't want to keep an eye on my sleep, which is my pleasure. I want you to fall asleep today and, if possible, lay it in bed.
"Evil monsters are not stupid. Having a house is proof that there are humans. Curious and ferocious monsters will be willing to attack."
When I complain, Mother Elna rarely complains about the need for a lookout.
This is surprising because I thought that Elna also hated her.
They both seemed to be living together as adventurers, so they seem to be very vigilant about the monsters at night.
If these two people say so much, it seems that there is really danger, and do they have to do it?
"Isn't this as safe as Coriat Village? Give up."
"Yes, I understand."
Yes, this is not the peaceful village of Koriat. So, I have to do some stuffing.

"Al, can you light the fire?"
"Okay"
Dad Nord puts two firewoods on the ground, and I light them with fire magic.
Increase the kind of fire with dry branches and straw, and send the wind slowly with wind magic.
After a while, the fire brilliantly lit the firewood and burned out.
Well, as you can see, the first group of glorious lookouts is Dad Nord and me.
Because I'm still 7 years old, my body wants sleep early too. With this in mind, I do the lookout first and then sleep well until morning. The second and third are waking up in the middle of sleep and sleepy.
Thanks to Father Nord for taking care of his children.
By the way, the second again is Dad Nord, Mina. The third is Elna and Silvio. And finally Erinora unnie and Rowe.
It takes 8 hours for a 2-hour shift. It's safe even if you have one reliable adult.
I don't think it's going to be like that because there's one extra force each time.
I look at the swaying flame while thinking about such a thing.
The sound of large firewood and branches cracking and crackling sounds, and orange light spreads to illuminate the darkness.
The flames in the darkness look so clear and beautiful.
A flame that emits warm air while shaking. It doesn't take the same shape at once and it's fun to kill time just looking at it.
I thought that watching the night would not be fun just by cutting down on sleep time, but if you observe the fire shining in the dark, it seems that you can kill as much time as you want.
I am delighted to find unexpected fun.
"... Al, are you okay?"
“…………”
"... al? Al!"
"What? What?"
I was absorbed in watching the fire for a while, and my father suddenly shook his shoulder.
"No, I was worried because I was losing color from my eyes."
"Is that so? You just watched the flames separately?"
Even though I tilt my head and release her, Dad Nord makes a worried expression for some reason.
When I was watching the flow of water in the river, I felt like Elinora and Silvio said the same thing.
I wonder if I have such a terrible look?
While thinking about such a thing, exhale as if to take a rest.
I'd like to make a fire to keep me from getting chilly, but I want a chair to sit down. It is hard to stand or squat as expected.
I immediately activate the earth magic and make two good chairs around the bonfire.
A normal type chair with a proper backrest, and a chair with a deep and curved backrest for more relaxation.
"Dad Nord is over there."
"Oh, oh. Thank you."
I want to sit, of course, the latter, so I urge Dad Nord to a normal chair and sit in the latter type of chair.
When you sit on a chair with a deep back, it feels like it wraps around my body because it is curved. It is easy to see that the hips are deeper than a normal chair.
It became interesting to tinker with the chair somehow, and while sitting on the chair, I activated earth magic.
This time, I imagine something that can be defeated.
This time, a chair with a deep backrest was created.
After confirming that there is no problem overall, I sit down on the newly made chair. No, isn't it more right to lie down? My chair, maintained by exquisite balance, was lying down instead of just sitting down.
I laid a slime cushion under my head and relaxed without thinking of coziness. Then, suddenly, the fatigue of one day came and came.
I'm tired because I got up early in the morning and left the mansion and traveled.
I feel like I can sleep comfortably now. Anyway, there's Dad Nord, and I'll be fine if I sleep.
I heard such a demon whisper. And since the angel did not appear in my will, I close my eyelids without hesitation.
"Hey, Al! You tried to sleep perfectly right now?"
But my consciousness was brought back to reality before falling into a pleasant darkness. That's because Dad Nord was shaking my shoulder violently.
"Because I'm sleepy."
"Endure"
I guess if Father Nord sees the sleeping face of an innocent child, he will laugh and miss it if he can't help it.
Should we have done it a little later? Despite being a seven-year-old child, he endured drowsiness, but eventually fell asleep without overcoming drowsiness. I should have made such a scenario.
"I see this chair inviting Al to sleep. Al too sits in a normal chair."
"……Yes"
I can get down from the chair and make an ordinary chair, because it is true that Father Nord says. And when I sat down, my drowsiness became somewhat worse.
...... This is a magical chair that invites you to sleep.
