There are almost no members of the firms after I finish eating breakfast, maybe they have work to do. And since the members of the Silver Wind have the roles of their guard, there is no one familiar who remained.
Â
That means the one left here is just me and Roomba, so we quietly passed the time in the first-floor lobby.
ăAl, what are you going to do today?ă
Roomba -who is sitting on the sofa opposite of me â asked.
ăHmmăŒ, I guess itâs not a bad idea just to relax like this while drinking the green tea made by the proprietress?ă
I sip on the warm green tea made by the proprietress while saying that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The taste of the unique bitterness from the green tea is irresistible. The taste of the tea leaves perfectly came out.
ăâŠâŠitâs the long-awaited sightseeing you know? Donât you think itâs a waste to just spend the whole day inside the ryokan?ă
ăReally? I think itâs not bad to relax in a foreign countryâs ryokan like this, though?ă
When you go outside, the proprietress and Sannosuke wonât follow you around, right?
I mean, when you just relaxing in the lobby like this, the proprietress and Sannosuke will entertain you and make tea, or serve you sweets, you know?Â
Talking with everyone while looking at the foreign countryâs scenery and being taken care of, isnât that very nice?
ăAl said something that other normal kids wonât say as usual. You normally go out when you came to a foreign country, right? You rarely come to a foreign country after all, so letâs go, alright? What do you say?ă
Err, I got Space magicâs Teleport after all, so I can go to a foreign country anytime.
However, maybe Roomba wants to go outside since he looks obviously dissatisfied.
Even so, Roomba canât go to a foreign country anytime.
Although he was living in My Home, itâs thanks to Roomba persuasion to Nord-tousan that I came here, and he came along with me from the distant Koryatt village.
And he also doesnât have the personality to be able to idly stay in the ryokan, I guess he must want to go outside, huh?
ăâŠâŠokay, well then, shall we go outsideă\n
ăOoh! I knew it, children should go outside after all!ă
When I decide to go out, Roomba stands up happily.
It feels like heâs happy that he can go out and that itâs unbearable for him to stay. Heâs waiting impatiently for me like a dog as he looked down on me who is still sitting on the sofa,
ăYosh, I will also get upââhuh? I canât exert any strengthâŠă
I canât stand up even when I tried to stand. Thatâs strange, even though I should have also decided to go outside, my body wonât listen to me.
When I think that I should get up, it feels like the soft sofa is trying to keep me from doing that as itâs pulling my bodyâs strength away.
A soft sofa on a warm morning. And a delicious green tea. These things are ruining people, huh.
ăOh? What happened?ă
ăâŠâŠthe sofa feels very comfortable that I canât get upă
When I answer with a voice that was somehow weak, Roomba suddenly pulled my arm and lifted me up.
After that, he put me on his right shoulder like heâs carrying a bag of rice.
ăThen, Iâm going to carry you! Letâs go outside!ă
Roomba heavily walked toward the entrance while saying that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăOhăŒ, this is also quite good. Now then, letâs go outside like this. Ah, Roomba. Bring my shoes to the entrance.ă
â
When I got carried by Roomba to go outside, Kaguraâs main street is crowded with people today too.Itâs interesting just seeing the people wearing brightly colored Kagura clothes mixed up together like a field of flowers. To say nothing of me not riding on Roombaâs shoulder today, but Iâm being carried on his shoulder.
Itâs rare seeing the scenery of Kagura in this kind of posture after all.
I look at the surroundings without a care in the world while being carried on Roombaâs shoulder while facing behind.
But, I wonder what is it. I feel that a lot of gazes have been gathering in my direction since some time ago.\nRoomba and I donât have black hair so we naturally stand out among the people, but their gaze is not the kind of gaze seeing something unusual, I feel that they are more of a scared or worried look.
Suppose that, even if itâs strange for them to see an adult carrying a kid on his shoulder, this kind of gaze probably wouldnât be pointed toward me.
Just when Iâm thinking about the strange gazes from the people around, a man who walked behind Roomba called out.
ăâŠâŠuhh, are you okay? Your eyes look really dead, and it looks like you have no strength in your body? ă
ăIâm fine. Donât worryă
When I clearly said that, the man whispered with a worried voice.
ăAre you really alright? Iâm scared of the person carrying you, you are actually getting kidnapped arenât you?ă
What the, but if I thought about the strange way people looked at me with a worried gaze since a while ago, it was that kind of misunderstanding, huh?
Well, Roomba is someone with a frightening look and heâs wearing an eyepatch anyway, so he really looks just like a yakuza so it may be something inevitable. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăNo, Iâm really fine. Since this uncle and I know each otherâŠâŠ.Roomba, Iâm going to walk by myself nowă
ăOh? Really?ă
Itâs such a nice position where I donât have to walk by myself, but itâs unbearable to be misunderstood like this wherever we go. Because of that, I decided to get off and tapped on Roombaâs shoulder.
When they see the familiar exchange between me and Roomba, some of the people behind us looked relieved.
ăAl, is there any place you want to go?ă
ăUăŒn, like, yesterday we went around to the main attractions, and I have just eaten breakfast. I guess I want to try going to a place away from the main street todayă
ăOkay. Well, we can try walking around that area then?ă
Nodding at Roombaâs word, I walk to a street away from the main street.
The width of the road becomes narrow as soon as we leave the main street, with residential buildings lined up on the street.
We aimlessly strolled around the quiet residential area. As we walked down the street, there is a housewive-like woman drying her laundry, and children playing tag on the narrow street.Itâs a really peaceful sight.
Different from the main street, the residential area is not gaudy so I thought that Roomba might feel bored looking at them, but he looks to enjoy seeing them, perhaps heâs also interested in a foreign countryâs lifestyle.\n\năâŠâŠ..I wonder if someone was grilling them?ă
ăEven so, I canât see the figure of a person anywhere thoughă
Roomba and I tried to look for people in the surroundings, but there is no sign of people anywhere we look.
Then, just who on earth was the one who prepared this salt-grilled fishes here?
ăăâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.ăă
There are delicious-looking grilled fishes, carefully sprinkled with salt in front of our eyes.
Itâs the kind of fish we saw on the open-air street yesterday, so the fish shouldnât taste bad.
The waste moisture flew off from the fishes and the surface of the fishes are completely grilled. Iâd say that is just at the right time to eat it now.www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Roomba and I looked down on the salt-grilled fishes and make a swallowing sound.
ăâŠâŠif they kept being grilled like this, then they will be completely burnt, arenât they?ă
ăYeah, thatâs right. That means itâs a situation where the fish, the person who grilled the fishes, and us wonât be happy aboută
If thatâs the case, in order to not waste the blessing here, we should eat the fishes lest they got burnt.
Roomba and I exchange glances and nodded, then we reached for the salt-grilled fishes.
ăOi wait a minute! Those are the fishes I captured and carefully grilled you know!?ă
And then, there is suddenly a man who only wears a loincloth coming out of the river.
Â
 \nÂ
(loincloth/fundoshi)
âŠâŠdid you really grilled it carefully? When you say it while looking like that, it feels like you really donât want to eat it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After Roomba and I only gave the men a glance, we immediately return to the fish and take a bite out of them.
ăThe person who grilled the fish is right here in front of you, so stop eating them!ă
