"So what is work?"
Dining room on the first floor of Seseragi-tei. Occupying one of the tables, Aldis and Cyril had a late lunch.
At the feet of the table, Rona, pretending to be a dog, is busy flattening a five-person meal. At first, Cyril had been blinded by Rona's presence, but she understood the mystery, saying, "Well, Aldis!" Masu: I was reluctant to get rid of the word "Because of Aldis," but Aldis himself knows that there is nothing to dig into. If Cyril wasn't afraid of Rona, he wouldn't have to bother, so he decided not to think any further.
"I want you to be a tutor."
Aldiz answers while biting a black rabbit meat pie wrap. The dishes cooked by Merrill's father, who is also the inn's master, provide sufficient satisfaction and, above all, peace of mind, unlike decisive weapons produced by his daughter.
"A tutor ...?"
"I have a child with a reason. I was looking for a tutor recently, but I was having trouble finding it."
"But I'm just a merchant apprentice. I go to school for the first time learning magic, but I haven't taken classes so much so it's really nice to teach."
"I'm not telling you to teach me anything magic. What I want you to teach is something like common sense or words."
"Oh, then ... I mean, there's so much in the royal capital that I'm not even me?
"That's why I said it was wrong. I was twelve years old. There are two girls."
"I don't think there's any particular problem?"
"Maybe it's a twin?"
Aldis casually speaks, but Cyril responds by jumping up.
"Two-- !?"
Involuntarily shouting, Cyril suddenly closes her mouth with one hand and looks around. Fortunately, Kiril showed a reassured expression that he seemed to have little time and no attention.
"That's not the case. You can't turn a bad person into a tutor, but do you care about Cyrill?"
Watching Kirill calm down, Aldis continues. That's right, but as long as your sister is a twin, Cyril doesn't have a twin.
"... Sure, that's a trick, but isn't that a good story for Aldis to tell you?"
Cyrill's question is right. But ...
"It's difficult because I often leave my house somehow."
As expected, it is not always possible to get twins.
In fact, at home, Nere's servant instead of Aldis takes care of the twins. It's natural to ask her for a twin educator if you think about it normally.
"I'm going to have an absence, but ... ah, there's a little problem."
With an unspeakable expression, Aldis says in a crisp tone. It must have been strange. From below the table, Rona's smirk was faintly heard.
Two hours later. After leaving Seseragi-tei, the Ardiss were walking in the woods towards their home.
"I never thought I would come to this forest again."
"Don't worry. I don't go that far today."
You probably recall when you met four years ago. Mizuki Kirill follows around Aldis perfectly, worried about anxiety.
Speaking of which, Aldis recalls Cyrill when he first met.
A twin who was eight years old four years ago is now twelve years old. Just the same age as Cyrill at that time.
If you compare Cyrill at that time with today's twins, you can still feel the youngness of twins. You couldn't take him out of town, and if you didn't have any friends of the same age, you couldn't help it, but maybe you've taken too much care.
A 12-year-old Kirill alone crossed the border, hired a mercenary, and stepped into a forest of demons and beasts. Will it be possible for Philia and Liana today? Even if it's a twin.
Either way, it is not good as it is. So Aldis was thinking. I was also worried that my spirits seemed a little younger than other children I saw in town.
When did Aldis start thinking about twin education?
The trigger was two words. Prediction There probably has been a change.
"Aldisu. What is today's souvenir?"
It has been around this past year that I have noticed that the words that only showed innocence were noticeable began to have strange endings.
I've been worried, but the decisive point was a few months ago when the people of No came to visit. As a twelve-year-old girl spoke to her face, Ted, saying, "Oh, you're a dash."
The cause was obvious.
"This is Philia. Such eating is bad manners. If you're right, it won't work for you."
No matter how much of the twin patrons is Aldis, they are not always on their side. Nere, on the other hand, shares the longest time with the twins.
In a forest isolated from humanity, no one except us exists. And twins are still learning and absorbing much from their surroundings. In that case, it was natural that he was greatly influenced by Nere.
In this regard, it can be said that their obedient personality backfired. I noticed that the twins' tone was no different from Nere's.
"Who are you?"
"Hmm. Are you Aldis's friend?"
Waiting for Aldis and Cyril to reach home, Philia smiles and Liana looks at her with curiosity in her eyes.
Both of them have grown steadily in the last four years, and their faces have grown younger and younger. He was no longer terrified as he did when he met him, and occasionally came into contact with the guests brought in by Ardis. The loveliness of the two, who are growing every day, remains the same as before, but recently they have a glimpse of their cuteness.
"Philias are Philia and Liana"
It was this tone that messed it up with Nere.
If you are silent, it looks like an ideal daughter, but if you open your mouth, you will only come out with bold words. There is no prejudice against twins, and monsters wandering in the forest can be easily scattered, and housework can be done without delay. Cooking is good. He is a good partner for twins, but Aldis was inconceivable until the wording shifted to the two.
"It's a strange way of talking ..."
"... On the left is Philia, on the right is Liana."
To Cyrill, who expressed his thoughts in a embarrassed manner, Aldis introduced him with a pinch of fingers between his foreheads.
"Filia-chan and Liana-chan. My name is Cyrill. Thank you."
"Um. Thank you Kiriryu!"
It's good that you're no longer scared of people you've never met.
Greetings have been made for the time being ... should be.
But I can't get this wording.
A few years later, if they were to nest themselves under Aldis and stand alone, it would be just as bad. Even if they are twins, they will obviously float from the surroundings.
It may still be in time now. Hoping for that possibility, Aldis was looking for an educator.
"Well, that's why. I want Cyrill to educate them."
"Sure, the wording is ... unless you do something,"
It seems that Cyril felt the need to meet the twins.
"Additionally, they both know little about the common general sense of the world. Until now, that was fine, but considering the future, I have to teach about the outside world soon."
"But if that is--"
Cyril's gaze turns to a woman preparing tea in the kitchen. The pouring of tea into the cup with an elegant movement is reminiscent of a noble family's daughter.
"Is that woman no good?"
"Oh ... I think so."
But what comes out of Aldis's mouth is the crisp answer. Meanwhile, Nere brought tea for five people to the tray. Heavenly eyes turn to her eyes for a moment, and she opens her mouth to Aldis.
"Oh my lord. Whatever the conversation with the guests, I'm thirsty, so why not take a break first?"
Cyril's eyes are rounded.
"Come on, you can call in."
In an unexpected tone of Nere, Cyril turns her eyes to Aldis. Akitoshi Apparently he seemed to understand the situation without saying.
"That's why."
"……understood"
Then about an hour. Aldis and Cyril coordinated work periods and rewards, and reached an agreement without much difficulty.
In fact, the rewards offered by Aldis were exceptional in terms of market prices, which was a particularly good condition for Kirill, who was looking for a job while attending school. Although there are more tutors in the royal city than in other towns, there is no reason to refuse if they are offered five times the pay that would normally be offered at a general education level. For Aldis, the amount of money included was a hindrance fee for keeping the twins out of sight, and it was not a significant expense considering the amount of money he earned by requesting defeat with Rona.
"Is it okay to have classes in the afternoon on school days off?"
"Oh, that's basically fine."
"Basically, is it?"
Kirill bowed.
"For a while, spend one hour on twin education and the rest on Cyrill training."
"Hey? Training? My? ... Why?"
Hearing an unexpected word, Cyril's expression asserted that "I don't know."
"What are you talking about? I'll be there for a while, but if I come out, will Cyril alone come here?"
"Hey? Eh ... eh ...?"
Cyril finally understands what Aldis said and stands up.
"It's natural. I can't afford to be sent to the royal capital forever. I need to be able to repel one or two lactors alone within two months."
"Oh, no, that's crazy!"
"It's okay. If you train mainly in battle, you will soon get used to the beast.
"Well, oh ..."
"... Well, it may die several times in the beginning."
Despite Kirill's loss of language, Aldis whispered quietly and quietly.
