After a delicious and enjoyable dinner, everyone in the hall had a time of thought, showering and relaxing wherever they wanted.

The time now after dinner is especially crowded with showers, so it looks like Plum and Hemperoza are taking a bath together with Larna.

I'm sure the narrow shower room will be like an imo wash, but I hear a laugh and water noise that sounds fun.

"- Larna has a superficial skin."

"- Hempero's a chest calf."

"Follow the pram."

Mm, mmm...?

What a disturbing conversation I hear, but pretend not to hear because I look like a pervert.

By the way, next to the Plums' shower, Manuferno and Spiano use the shower, but by the time the women's team is finished in, there will be no more hot water left to make. So, while we're at it, we need hot water refills.

Light the fireplace in the living room and make some firewood hot water.

It's a little hot because of the current summer season, but the sound of shaking flames, patties and firewood blasting is also good.

The water used in the shower and in the kitchen was drawn in from the water field in the corner of the square where the Sage's Hall was sitting. In the village of Finovocci, it is pulled from a nearby river, but the water seems colder in the Wang capital, which uses well water in a magic pump.

"Sort of."

After the fire, I decided to go to the kitchen washroom and help Riola and Iola.

In other words, dishwashing.

Finished dishes are their own rules of transport to the kitchen, so they are already piled on the work table by the kitchen.

Iola was working on getting the dirty part off with a hella and putting it in a slime leftover bucket.

"You work, Iola."

"Ah, Guru. Slime looks good in the summer."

"Right? No more leftovers in one night, Zo."

In a barrel like the one where the barrel was cut, the normal slime is mozzled.

And then there's the task of washing the dishes with water.

Here it is my turn, a great sage.

Riola with the apron on wrapped her arms around her, okay! and line up beside you in the mood.

"Riola, I can help you."

"Thank you... Brother Gu, no"

Every time, I get a happy look at Riola because she's sorry.

"I mean, it's gonna be tough just for Riola. And..."

I got bubbles out of my hands.

"I can't do this without me."

I don't have to explain it again, but I can get the mucus out of my palm with mucus magic (Sluddu). Applied to this is the magic of foam, the magic of foam (Babrula), which can even remove oil stains.

For these dishwashing and laundry, of course, body washing, wound disinfection and a wide range of applications.

It is difficult and advanced magic to create meticulous bubbles.

Terrorists fill the walls with bubbles, and the filth is disinfected! And it's an excellent use for being cool.

"Riola, I'm coming."

Take Riola's hand and put the pink foam on the mockingbird. Riola's fingertips move to dance in my palm, so it's a shame.

"Ya,... I'll null you"

"I'm going to give you a lot of it, so I'm going to sponge this on the sponge..."

Wash and rinse all at once, all covered in mockingbirds.

Dishwashing is also an important time to talk about things alongside Riola.

Eventually, the conversation shifts to the biggest concern.

"Um, Brother Gu, no... exams, sorry. I'll pay for textbooks and stuff... and I'll give it back."

The fact that Riola revealed to me that she was not going to go to school had been consulted, but it still seems like a concern.

I guess you're sorry about the trouble I went through with buying references and taking exams.

"I mean, don't worry about it. Riola made up her mind, didn't she?

Although Riola will take the exam as a confirmation of her learning outcomes, she says the secondary exam will decline regardless of whether she passes the primary exam or not, and she will choose the path to work in the hall.

"Yes. But... the"

"To be honest, I also wanted to see Riola in her higher school uniform. But I'm also very happy that Riola keeps working here."

"Gu...... brother no"

I reveal my honest feelings while washing dishes.

"If you'll take care of everyone and cook delicious food... I think it would be a great pleasure. One day, I may eventually be willing to return to the village of Tibalagi... but until then, will you stay with me?

It's a little light, but if Riola's stray disappears, it's cheap.

Riola raised her chestnut eyes and stared at me.

Glittering eyes, and a smile.

"- Yes!

Ugh......, cute.

Even when I say I've revealed my honest feelings, I realize I haven't even said the deeper part of my feelings. Not only do I feel like a sister and cute, but I want to put it aside all the time if I can... I also feel black and cowardly.

As Riola washed the dishes, she leaned softly over her shoulder.

"Brother Gu, no, I... besides"

"Hmm...?

My arms stick warm and my face is close. I don't think it smells and feels like a girl, can I just keep kissing her......? And I'm thrilled with the slightly misleading sense of distance.

"... delicious? I also have potato skin today..."

And I heard Iola talking to Slime for leftovers from behind.

"There you are..."

"There he is!?

Awful! And Iola stands up with a screaming face. Speaking of which, they were also talking about taking the Knights' School exam.

Riola also looks back and narrows her eyes to her brother, who wears a sledge and slime.

"Io's just like me, right?

"Oh. Like Riola, I take exams as a jerk, but I'm not going to cavalry school. Sorry..."

Whether you don't or can't go depends on the results of the exam, but your determination was communicated.

"Right...... I should have listened to him a little more personally, too. I swallowed Iola's feelings and thoughts with one word."

Driven by regret, I wish I could have shown my brothers and sisters the way to the right and left on the stray path of the path at the first point.

Even if there was one case of Superdragon Drasilia, we should have had some more time to listen and think together.

"Sorry."

Unexpectedly apologize to both of you.

"No! Brother Gu, no! Nothing!

"That's right! I was simply stupid and not thinking properly. I want to be a brave man, but I want to be a knight."

Iola stood up. Soon he's going to grow taller and catch up with me.

I thought they were twins like two melons, but they were growing about half their heads higher than Riola's.

"Iola......"

"When I stumbled... I realized that I had just regretted not being able to protect the village for so long."

Iola squeezed her fist tightly and pointed her gaze straight at me.

I took a ha-ha-ha breath in a face that at some point shook off things like boy-specific strays and ambiguities.

"I want to protect my village and my family, just like my father and mother did. Sometimes you can't be a brave man or a knight."

"Right. Rather, there may be more we can do."

I washed the last dish and wiped my hands. Face Iola and carry on the words.

"At the corner, Lu and Faria taught me the sword. And I also learned how to fight from Ergonote. You've adventured with us and gained the courage and experience. Not right now, but they're all going to help Iola protect anyone she wants to protect."

"... yeah!

Iola nods quietly.

So I'm going to show you one of the signs that I checked out with search magic (Gogol).

"- Tibalagi Village Central Hall says they're looking for workers from time to time. It is the idea of an 'agricultural management company' that farms and rewards village-run joint agricultural land. You can choose to live in a homestay, or a public lodging. There, special skills are particularly privileged and put on wages. That is…, swordsmanship and magic, agricultural knowledge, surveying and civil wisdom. Especially the warriors. They say they get special allowances for seasonal demons."

"Awesome......! It might be perfect for me."

"If you have a place to live, you can go home...!

Iola and Riola thrive in Russia. Again, a lot of people say they can't go home unless there is some guarantee of a job opening and a place to live.

"Speaking of which, he said he was in a public house in the village because Harua's house was also lost in the Demon King's War. That's how it worked..."

"I wonder if one day it will spread to the district where we lived..."

"I'll go and spread it out!

Looks like they both finally know what's going on in the village and see hope.

This information is based on stickers that are securely placed in Wang Du's bureau and job search fields. Whether in the village of Tibalagi or in public relations, the medium is probably limited and not widespread.

"Plus, if you look at the entire kingdom going to higher school, it's about 5% of all students. There are a lot of noblemen and merchant kids, and if you go, it's gonna be pretty rough. If I'm a student, I don't need anything but a library..."

The two smile bitterly and nod at each other.

"Anyway, neither Iola nor Riola will be in a hurry if they see a goal. Just stay in this hall and get ready, okay?

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Guru!

Thus - -.

Some days the night of the king's capital went quietly further.

The Methius Tavern thrived more than usual that night.

Drinking while comforting Blue Lu for some reason before giving birth tasted different again.

And Iola and Riola, one step closer to adulthood, were with us. The two of them can't drink alcohol, of course, but they always listened to Nico and I having fun having an adult conversation where Lu and I meet half drunk.
