At dawn, Aldis wakes up on the bed.
"……again"
At the same time, he perceived the weight on the left and right arms and muttered with a scorpion.
It is the twins of Philia and Liana that sleep as they embrace Aldis's arm. The sight of a quick slumber is embracing cuteness in loveliness, and once a month after settling in a village, a boy of the same age can sometimes secretly look hot.
The environment in which I grew up can be a bit out of common sense or a childhood that is unsuitable for age, but it's not as fatal as my tutor, Cyrill. But, conversely, it was "something that is not fatal but out of common sense remains."
After a while, they will be 15 years old. In most countries, the age of 15 is considered an adult. At least not as old as they are now, dive into their parents' beds and cling to their arms and sleep.
It would have been no problem seven years ago when I was a child, but they have already grown and are no longer children. The apparent age of Aldis, whose growth is unlikely to appear, has shrunk year by year, and now it is only visible to younger siblings.
"When did you dive in ...?"
Wake up instantly when a hostile opponent approaches, even if you fall asleep. Aldis, who has lived that way for many years, couldn't detect it unless the opponent was hostile. In building this house, twins are given one room as a bedroom, but it seems that the habit of sneaking into the bed of Aldis during the night is still inevitable.
The twins wake up as Aldis wakes up slowly.
"Wow .... Morning ...?"
"Hmm ... Good morning Aldis ..."
Filia replies, rubbing her sleeping manako, waking up, rubbing her face with Aldis's arms rubbing. Peeling off the futon from the two sleepy people, pulling their thin arms and raising their bodies, they cross their arms and open their mouths.
"I'm just saying, this isn't your room."
"Yup"
"I know"
The two responded without giving any words to Aldis who frowned. As he opens his mouth, yawns, raises his arms and stretches his body, his consciousness seems to become clearer, and his bluish, pale green eyes gradually begin to focus on Aldis.
"So why are you sleeping here, not in your room?"
"Because there is Aldis?"
"Weird, Aldis"
Liana was a natural tone, and Philia scorned and laughed at Aldis's doubts.
"No, the logic is strange."
"Isn't it nice? Let's eat as soon as we are hungry!"
"Aldis, fast and fast!"
The twins start pulling both arms without concern for Aldis Boyaki. Watching the sleeves of his clothes grow like an affair, Aldis wrinkled in his eyebrows where he had grown wrong.
It is five people who add Shal and breakfast that surrounds one table and Rona who is at the feet of usual members. It was much more lively than before the twins met.
As usual, Filia, the cat's tongue, squeezes into the hot soup, while Liana, who bites the bread to sharpen it, concentrates on her meal. He turned his eyes to Shar, who was quietly eating next to him, and he turned his head to see if he noticed his gaze. Even without words, it seems that their eyes are asking, "What?"
Mending "You helped yesterday yesterday?"
It is a silent nod that returns to that question.
"How was it?"
"What was it?"
"Ah, no, that's right. Something I felt after working, or something told by someone who taught me."
"I was told, 'It's good.'"
"... I see. Well, that's a good thing."
It's an awkward conversation, but at least it's better if the words are flowing. This is a big step forward because Shar, who used to talk only a few words before, now accepts chats.
Like twins, Shal is not old enough to play all day. Filia and Liana hunt around the village about Din and Kalina, hunting for food, and Aldis and Nere thin out monsters outside of the barrier that Sarah was alone, and Rona secures her surroundings. I was accompanied by an assistant.
The problem was with Shal. Her specialty is a bit special because she was originally raised by an organization behind the scenes. Regardless of the location, such as the royal city Gran or the city state rating, it is unlikely that shadow skills will be useful in a hidden village with a population of about 100 people.
The fighting ability of course is not as good as Nere or Rona, and it is not enough to be able to exterminate monsters outside the barrier with Aldis. However, like Philia, it was difficult to look around the barrier and secure prey. It is difficult to find a partner to work with in a shar where two people have difficulty communicating with others in the perimeter of the principle, and knowledge of hunting wild beasts will be given to her, who will have only more training in interpersonal warfare. I don't think I have the technology.
However, they had to do some work in the village, because they could not just live and play. For this reason, Shal is currently experiencing various tasks as an apprentice in the span of three to four days.
"If you don't hate it, just keep going."
"Hmm"
It doesn't seem like they're having fun, but that doesn't mean they're doing it, and Aldis feels relieved. It's not bad to be a mercenary with the art of fighting, and it's not bad to cast shadows, but it's good for Shal to have more options.
After Aldis concludes the matter and scoops the soup in one hand, Filia throws another topic at the table.
"Aldis Aldis! Did you know? There is a village festival coming soon."
"Festival?"
It was the first time Aldis heard.
"Karina said" harvest festival! You can eat lots of feasts! "
"Well, that's ... Isn't it normal for a normal village?"
Even though it is a hidden village, the village has some fields in it because it is self-sufficient. It is natural that there is a festival to celebrate the harvest in some places of agriculture.
"I'm really excited because I've never been to a festival!"
Philia smiles wide.
I can't imagine that the twins, who have been persecuted by others, have been able to participate in festival-like events. Real Parents of course would not try to take twins to the place where such people gathered, and there was no doubt that after they were sold, they were sending every day far from the festival.
However, the story is different in this village, which is unrelated to the teachings of the goddess who contraindicated twins. Contempt Since there is no one in this village looking at Philia and Liana for disgust and disgust, there is no problem with the two shaking the majors and enjoying the festival. Aldis smiles after being greeted by a happy Philia.
"What's wrong? Riana doesn't seem to be too reluctant."
"Din says he wants to enjoy the festival alone with Riana."
Filiana, not Liana himself, answered Aldis.
"Are you two? Ah, I see ..."
Aldis has a moment's doubts, but immediately understands what it means and smiles.
If you think about it, Din is an adult man who is already an adult, and Liana is a young daughter who is about to reach adulthood. In the case of Liana, it is natural that there were few acquaintances of the same age because of twins, but it is not strange that one or two glossy stories come out in terms of age. A glimpse of the “ordinary” of the year, Aldis feels a little happy.
At first glance, however, Liana seemed embarrassed. Aldis decides that he won't have to push his back, so he makes a way out.
"Ding wouldn't be glad to be with you too. If you're not worried, just refuse and like."
"Well, that sounds like my Lord isn't going to participate?"
It was Nere, not Liana, who responded to Aldis's words. Although there is no intention to do so, Aldis struggles with an uncomfortable look at a surprisingly skeptical question.
"Ah ... I really don't like making noises when there are many people. I just came to the village and I'd better have my face out.
The last words condensed the spirit of Aldis. Then, another voice cuts into the conversation from below.
"Hey Al. Are you aware that you just denied the words you just spoken before your tongue's roots were dry?"
Aldis squeezed out the words of the counterattack with Rona, who was ridiculed to say that, with a grumpy face.
"... Noisy. Eat silently."
"Doggy"
The golden buddy smiled with a happy smile and ended his conversation with poor performance and moved on to breakfast.
