Is it stronger than you dare to ask?

"It's not that strong, but if you don't like it..."

“That's all right.”

"It's a stone's throw! Now... I'm sorry about my wife..."

When I say that, Zakke's mother pours alcohol from the bottle.

It was poured into a small container that seemed to be close to the mouth of the pig.

When all five of us get drunk, we're poured into Zacke's father.

Well then...

After lightly pressing the container with Zakke's father, everyone swallows the liquid in the container together.

The liquid is more viscous than expected and drips through the throat.

Does the taste like fruit liquor or does the smell like fruit come out of my nose?

After that, my throat became hot and I felt strong alcohol.

Sensually, it's about the same amount of alcohol as a liqueur or something like that. In other words, about twenty to twenty-five percent. Drinking it in a straight line is certainly a bit of a strong drink.

It may be difficult for people who are not used to drinking alcohol.

But....

"Isn't this delicious?!"

“Thank you. It's my pride.”

Rather than a simple fruit aroma, it is a complex fold of multiple aromas. Even so, not only does it feel disgusting, but it is also slightly sweet.

It's a flavor that makes me want to go for another drink, even though I know that it has a high content.

It's true! It's delicious!

"Hmm! It's a bit strong, but the scent is the best!"

Everyone admired it.

"Next time, take care of our home!

This was followed by liquor brought by Yana and Lark's father.

This is dry!

The sake brought by Yana and Lark's father is a dry sake that stimulates the tip of the tongue. The aroma of the fruit is modest and almost free of sweetness. The liquid is also rough, but the alcohol content is about the same.

I know you like it or hate it, but for me, they're both delicious.

"This is delicious over here!"

It's definitely hard to put on your armor!

Absolutely not, but they both won!

"I'm glad you're happy!" I'll give you these, so please enjoy them to your heart's content! "

"Oh! Thank you!"

The parents got up and tried to leave their seats, but Lark, Zakke, and Yana were watching me right there.

The parents strangely look at the children, but they know exactly what the three of them want from me.

"Don't look at me like that. I remember it properly."

I lifted the two straight swords I had taken out.

The two of them were given a straight sword of steel. Although it was not a rare weapon, it was the first straight sword that a medium adventurer had, and it had high durability. It is treated somewhat badly and it does not break.

Even if Lark and Zakke handle it roughly, they should be able to continue using it for the time being.

"Zakke's straight sword is a little heavy and thick." You need a simple skill to use it.

Lark is more of a tech than a power. On the contrary, it is difficult to handle because it is lighter. "

"Oh, no! How could I get a weapon!?"

When I try to give Lark and Zack their weapons, I try to keep my mouth shut until my parents get them. But I'll stop it with words.

"No, this is a gift from someone who taught the sword, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Is that...?"

Yeah.

Lark and the others are learning swordsmanship, but their parents don't know swordsmanship. Therefore, you probably don't know that such a habit exists.

I didn't have any special habits in my Tenryu Sword Technique, but there was also a school where my master had the habit of handing over weapons to his disciples. That's why it's not a lie. Above all, it is my own intention to give Larks their weapons.

I'll stop them and give Lark and Zack their swords.

"Thank you!!"

Lark bows his head as he receives it, says thank you, and looks at the straight sword of steel that was handed over to him with joy.

It's still too big for your body, so you can hold it with both hands. Even if you try to stand up, you will not have enough strength in your arms and your body will stagger.

If I could train my steel straight sword so that I could control it freely, it would be time for me to become an adventurer.

We did it!

When Zakke took the straight sword from me, he gladly looked at it.

Grrrr!

"Ouch!!"

Behind such a zakke, a splinter is falling.

"You did it!" I'll start by thanking you! "

Zakke's father's love whip.

"Ugh... oh, thank you."

Zakke lowered his head as he rubbed his beaten head.

Yeah.

"Oh no... I'm sorry... my stupid son..."

It's an exchange I've done before. This is probably normal operation.

I taught them how to take care of their straight swords, small swords, and small shields, including their parents. Particularly, since the small sword is a rare weapon on the continental side, I will tell them as carefully as possible and give them a set of tools as well.

Worst of all, Kevin will know how to take care of it, and you don't have to worry about it.

After telling the whole story, the parents and Larks bowed their heads and left the scene.

"Whoa?!"

At that timing, music comes from nowhere.

The sound of the flute and the sound of the stringed instrument.

When the music starts, some people from the village come out around the set of burning trees and start dancing.

The tunes are bright, and the dancers fly, jump, and spin. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, everyone is laughing and dancing happily and freely.

A few moments later, I saw some people running towards Garrosa and the others.

I can't hear you from our place, but when I saw you bowing your head several times, I think the villagers were looking at Garrosa and the others with white eyes.

Seeing that they had gone to apologize again, they took Garrosa and several other former slaves' hands and took them out into the dancing crowd.

At first, I was confused about the ex-slaves, but when I saw the people who took me out, holding hands and dancing happily in front of me, I started to dance together.

Perhaps it was the moment when the ex-slaves were truly accepted by this village as friends.

Men and women, slaves and villagers... no matter who they are, they dance hand in hand to the tone of the music they hear.

It can be described as a wonderful sight to be touched even.

"Come here!"

"Let's dance together!"

Lark, Zakke, and Yana ran towards us, drinking while watching the dance.

The three of them take Nil and Pilte's hand and take them out.

"I-I..."

It's fun!

Nil probably wanted to say he couldn't dance, but Yana's innocent smile took him away. The same goes for the Pilates that Lark took out.

Nil, who was in trouble because she didn't know what to do, sent me a gaze to ask for help, but I smiled back, saying that it would be an experience like this.

At first, they were two people in trouble, but when the three children started to dance, flying, jumping and spinning, and prompted Nil and Pirte, they both started to dance in a way that imitated their visions.

"Good! Pilate!" Nil-chan! "

Heine is glad to see it and stands up.

We're already in disguise, and the truth is that I brought in five Eagle Crows with dark hair and silver hair, so I haven't changed my hair color.

That's why you can see silver-haired, blue-eyed beauties and black-haired, red-eyed beauties dancing in the flaming light.

The soft light of the fire slides down against the silver and black hair that dances in the air.

Isn't it the happiest thing to be able to drink while watching such a sight?

When we drink delicious alcohol, both tastefully and pleasantly, Piltee looks at us and greets us.

"Suratan! Let's go!"

Heine laughs happily and takes Surakutan's hand.

"You want to see my dance tech...?" I can't help it! I'll show you! "

Slatan snaps his glasses up and follows Heine.

"Behold! My dance tech!!"

The slugs fly around in the fire. I can't call it the earliest dance...

"Hahaha!! That's good!" Ahhhh! "

Awesome!

"Hahaha! Can you follow my example?!"

It looked like Surakutan was having a lot of fun too.

Kevin and the others aren't going?

"I'm good." Just watching is enough. ”

"Oh, oh... I'm good too..."



Hanatha is always the same... but for some reason, Kevin is a bit stupid. Is it right to say you're nervous?

Maybe... you don't like dancing? I don't seem to be good at this, but I hope it's fun...

While wondering, looking at everyone's dance, among the people who were dancing, Garrosa was holding hands with the woman with a slightly red face.

Garrosa's opponent is one of the former slave women who were rescued from Hoogie-Fjorde by Heine and Pilte.

"Heh..."

"Fufufu. Let's have spring in Garrosa, shall we?"

Yeah.

Hanatha laughed happily at the sight.

The two dancers don't seem to like each other yet, but they seem to be aware of each other, and the good air is flowing.

It's not surprising that Garrosa has been with us since she thought about building a hidden village. Even with the shackles, they don't have anything to do with it.

He watches his cheeks slacken and drinks again.

"...... Hooo......"

Beside me and Hanatha, Kevin exhales a big breath while wiping his sweat.

Your stomach hurts...?

"Hey, Kevin..."

I tried to ask if I was okay, but then the music came to an end and applauded. My voice will be scratched out.

"Ahh! It was fun!"

"Fufufu. Suratan is pretty good, too."

Nil and the others are coming back.

Then, slowly and quietly, the music begins to play.

After the intense song of the up-tempo, I thought it was a burning and tingly air.....

Gahhhh!!

Suddenly, Kevin got up.

"What, what? You'd be surprised if you suddenly get up?!"

Hanatha is surprised and yells at Kevin, but unlike usual, Kevin looks at the burning fire straight up.



Kevin walks toward the fire, wondering what's wrong with all of us.

Kevin's right hand and right foot are coming forward together.

Walking up to the fire, Kururi turns around and looks at us.

"What's the matter...?"

Not knowing what was going on, Hanasa looked at Kevin with a puzzled expression.

"Hoo...... Hanasa!!!!"

Kevin calls out to Hanatha in a big voice that can be heard all over the village.

"What?! Me?! What?! What?!"

Hanatha is surprised by the sudden call to name. But Kevin didn't mind, and he kept on talking.

"Oh, I can't say such clever things!" That's why I'm going straight to the point! "

"Eh...?"

"Please... marry me!"

And Kevin turned toward Hanatha, and took out a cloth with glittering jewels, and put it forward with both his hands.

"" "" "" Eh... ehhh?!!! "" ""

The five of us didn't expect that to happen to Kevin and Hanatha, so we opened our eyes and were surprised.

On the contrary, none of the villagers were surprised to know.

………………

Kevin stops with his cloth out in front of him, looking down.

And everyone in the village of Tenolt is paying attention to Hanasa.

"I-I... erm..."

Hanasa looks at Kevin's protruding cloth as if she doesn't know what to say.

Hanatha slowly stood up and turned towards Kevin.

I can see the tears falling quietly from his eyes.

Hanatha slowly approaches Kevin.

………………

Everyone keeps watching the situation silently.

All you can hear is the music that keeps playing modestly.

………………

Hanatha arrives in front of Kevin's protruding cloth.

……………………

Here Hanatha speaks only of 'yes' or 'no'.

While everyone watched as they drank their saliva...... slowly Hanasa reached out to Kevin's cloth.

"... yes!"

Hanasa grabs Kevin's cloth and holds it to her chest.

"Oh... really?! I'm too old for that... is it okay?!"

“Yeah… it's true.”

”I... I'm cumming!!!”

Applause from all over the village, accompanied by Kevin's shout.

Kevin hangs the cloth Hanasah received on Hanasah's head.

According to what I heard later, as a result of the proposal around here, a man prepared a decorative cloth made of cotton flowers, which was attached to a jewel, and gave it to the woman.

And the woman shall take the cloth, and put it on her head, if she shall accept it. I won't let you touch another man. It means that you're going to be the only woman I know.

The cloth is woven in various patterns, and it seems to differ depending on who sends it, along with the jewels to be decorated.

It seems to be unique because it is a gem of two memories, a landscape, and a pattern and gemstone with the image of a woman.

It's quite a romantic custom.

"No way, Hanasa and Kevin..."

I was stunned by the sudden stories of marriage...

Is that so? I thought it was going to be like this, didn't I?

That's right.

Yes.

In response to Heine's words, he nodded to Pilte and Nil.

By the way, Surakutan is in the same state as me, and his open mouth is unobstructed.

"I-I didn't feel such an atmosphere...?"

"Is that so?"

Hanasa was only tough on Kevin, even though she was nice, right?

Kevin felt that he had recently stepped on it. "

"Um, hmmm... is that so...?" Is that what it is... "

Sure enough, Hanasa felt like she was just hitting Kevin hard. Was that a flip of love?

"Congratulations!!"

Hanasa! You did it!

Yeah… yeah! Thank you guys!

Blessed are the villagers.

I was surprised, but the villagers knew that Hanasa was in love with Kevin, and the women finally did it! It's a typical Nori.

I'm surprised, I'm surprised, but... it's unbelievable.

The two blessed ones walk towards us together.

Congratulations!

"" Congratulations! ""

We'll greet you with a round of applause.

"I-I 'm sorry." Even though the main characters this time are Kado and the others...

"Don't worry about that!" There's nothing more pleasing than that! "

"Thank you. I really wanted to tell Hanatha while Khaido and the others were here."

I wanted to share my feelings with Hanatha because of Kaido and the others. "

"Our...?"

"Actually..."

That's what Kevin told me about the hook he decided to propose to Hanatha.

Kevin originally had a preference for Hanasa, but he didn't seem to think about getting married.

There is also a difference in age, and Hanasa is a central figure in the village.

However, at that time, we visited the village and developed into a great war with the bandits.

Considering the area around here, it was only natural for Kevin, an adventurer of A rank, to go to battle.

But then Hanatha said no.

If you want to describe it accurately, she told me not to go if she could.

When Hanatha understood that we were fighting and that we had no choice but to fight, she was afraid to lose Kevin, and it seemed to be a word that came out, but after hearing that, Kevin decided to marry Hanatha when this war was over.

In the end, the local people couldn't help but fight. Kevin tried to jump out, but Hanasa insisted that she would follow him and headed for Janoya.

It seems to me that Hanatha is going to follow rather than wait there.

Then Kevin and Hanatha, who had arrived in Janoya, found us and headed for evacuation.

Then we fled the city and became the epicenter of the final assault force, and when we thought about the operation, we arrived.

I beat up Janoya as I was.

At that time, I did not tell Hanasa not to go, nor did I tell her to follow me, but she said that she would come back alive.

Kevin, who hadn't been so stupid as he'd been told, decided to propose to Hanatha as a man, as a Han, regardless of the age difference.

From a broad perspective, because we were involved in the battle, Kevin was hooked to move, which made him realize the strong feeling from Hanasa... but honestly, we didn't do anything.

If you were in love with Cupid without knowing it... well, as much as I'm glad, I'm really glad that you proposed to us where we are... no, I won't say anything anymore.

If you two are happy, that's fine.

"I can't believe it... it was like that."

"I'm sorry! I knew Khado-san and the others were fighting..."

"That's not true!!"

It was Heine who denied it with the momentum of confining herself to Hanasa's words.

“The fear that someone you love might be gone is something no one can overcome! Hanasa-san is not wrong!"

“That's right! You don't have to worry about that!”

It was Pilate who was in the toilet.
