Itâs an especially hot summer day. If it was the average hot day I would go to the river or just use Wind magic to cool off, but there is no wind today, and the temperature is also ridiculously hot so I decided to spray cold air using Ice magic and shut myself in my room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And then, perhaps knowing that I will have such a comfortable place, Sylvio-niisan and Eleonora-neesan enter uninvited wearing their jinbei.
Sylvio-niisan places a slime cushion on his bottom and starts to read his book, Eleonora-neesan is occupying my bed as she likes, appearing to be checking the feeling of the slime cushion, maybe sheâs curious about it.
Incidentally, Sylvio-niisanâs jinbei is navy blue while Eleonora-neesan is the black color for men.
Whether itâs a happy or sad thing, Eleonora-neesanâs body has few âups and downâ, so the clothes look completely stylish on her body. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
There are no people who are knowledgeable about Kaguraâs culture around here, and it looks like Eleonora-neesan believes that jinbei is also used by women. If she knows the truth then she will definitely get mad and it will become a problem, but such a day would not come. I mean, Iâve also told Tori and Roomba to keep quiet about it.
ăWhat? Youâve been staring at meă
Maybe she notices I was staring at her while Iâm thinking about such a thing that Eleonora-neeesan turns to look back at me.
'That jinbei, they are for men, you know'. No way I can say that.
ăâŚâŚnah, I just thought âThat jinbei looks good on neesană
ăRe, really? Well, itâs cool to wear and easy to move in, so I also like this jinbeiă
Eleonora-neesan happily replies when I evasively ask her that.
For the time being, itâs great that she looks to be pleased with the jinbei. Oh well, judging from Eleonora-neesanâs personality, I thought she will definitely like the jinbei since itâs easy to wear, cool, and easy to move in.
ăSince the two of you are wearing jinbei, I will also wear one ă
The two of them are wearing jinbei in my room and Iâm the only one who is wearing normal clothes, so it looks uncomfortable.
Besides, itâs going to be easier to spend time our wearing jinbei on hot days like today.
Opening the closet, I take out a gray jinbei from the hanger and pants from the drawer, and then I change my clothes into those.
For a guy, things like changing clothes can be completed quickly. I change my clothes while trying not to show something unseemly as much as possible, with a speed that takes niisan and neesan presence in mind.
Now then, what to do?
The option of lying on my bed was no longer available to me since Eleonora-neesan is on the bed.
Should I just quietly lie down on the carpet and read a book?
I can imagine Eleonora-neesan will use my slime cushion. So thinking that such a situation might happen, I already always had some slime cushions prepared in my room.
Thanks to that, I also have a slime cushion for me now.
If their number increases, any feeds will do for them so theyâre also easy to manage. They also donât give you any trouble. They also have no ferocious nature, and theyâre a good choice to have even if you have them as pets since it doesnât take too much time to take care of.
I chill the slime cushion with Ice magic and make it as firm as I like, and then use it in exchange for a pillow and lie on my back.
After that, I use Psychic to pull the Dragon Slayer book and reread it again, I continue to turn over the pages in front of me with Psychic and read the contents of the book. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Itâs a bit dark since Iâm facing upward, but I donât need to hold the book with my hand with this so my arm wonât get sore. Itâs a splendid method of reading.
I guess he notices me doing that. Sylvio-niisan calls out to me, sounding a little excited.
ăWaah, amazing. Is that the usual magic you use? Your hands will not get sore if you do thată
ăRight? I donât have to turn over the pages by myself, and thereâs also no need to worry of the book fallingă
I donât even have to move my hand to turn the pages after all, so I can concentrate on reading without getting distracted. And when I raise my body after reading the book, there will also be no tragedy of accidentally dropping the book and hitting my face, so itâs a safe method of reading.
ăâŚâŚas usual, Al is using magic in a strange manneră
Despite when I mention the advantage of using this method, Eleonora-neesan still makes an amazed expression.
From the perspective of Eleonora-neesan - who doesnât like to read books -, this kind of groundbreaking application of magic will look silly to her.
Even though itâs enjoyable to read a book quietly, what a shame.
ăThat certainly looks convenient, but I also like the feeling of turning over the pages......ă
Sylvio-niisan gently brushes his own book while saying that.
From Sylvio-niisanâs - who is a book lover by nature - perspective, the weight when he reads a book and the smell of paper, Â the movement of turning over the pages, and the sounds rubbing against paper would also be part of the pleasure in reading a book.
Sylvio-niisan, he really likes books, didnât he?
And after a while, a relaxing time takes place, where Sylvio-niisan and I start to get inside the world of our books, while Eleonora-neesan is just rolling around on the bed.
There is only the sound of us breathing, and the sound of us turning the pages of the books inside my room. Only the sound of Eleonora-neesan moving too much while touching the slime resounds quietly inside the room.
ăHawaaăź, itâs cold and feels niceă
I thought it was a really quiet period for us, then a muffled voice comes from the direction of the door.
âŚâŚthis voice, itâs Mina.
Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan notice it too, they look toward the door but after deciding that thereâs no particular harm in that, they stop looking at the door. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
However, the door makes a creaking sound, and we look toward the door again.
ăI knew it, the cold air leaks out from Alfried-samaâs roomă
That Mina, sheâs sticking herself to the door of my room in order to enjoy the cold air leaking out from inside, huh?
No wonder, and here I thought that the door has been making creaking sounds from earlier. Are you a cat or what?
ăIâm kinda curiousă
ăWell, we can let her in as a break if sheâs quiet. Itâs hot todayă
Today is especially hot. Wearing long sleeves and a maid uniform that has a long skirt will double the heat. Although Mina is a poor maid, it would be fine to do this and show our appreciation for her work.
Moreover, it bothers me even if sheâs just sticking herself in front of the door
While still lying down, I use the non-attribute magic Psychic to move the doorknob and open the door.
ăKyaaaa! The doorââfubeeh!ă
Immediately after that, Minaâs posture collapsed and she fell face down - guess sheâs been leaning against the door.
ăIt hurst! Ow, thatâs awful! I hit my nose!ă
Mina says while holding her nose with teary eyes.
ăAh, sorry. Iâm sorry, you can cool off inside the room insteadă
ăReally!? Then I wonât hesitate, please excuse me!ă
And when I tell her that, Mina returns to being lively again as if she had forgotten about the fact that she hit her nose.
I feel like she was thinking of trying to use the fact that she hit her nose as a pretext to intrude inside.
ăAhh, as expected from Alfried-samaâs room. Itâs filled with cold air and very coolă
ăItâs hotter than usual todayă
ăItâs not hot! Compared to outside, this room is hell, you know! And despite that, Sara and Mel-san gave me an errand to go to the village and do garden work, they are demons!ă
Mina suddenly kept on talking on and on while looking as if she was about to cry. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăEh, but, that is Minaââă
ăEleonora-neesan, you donât have to say it nowă
I stop Eleonora-neesan as she was about to say something tactless.
We know about it. The task assigned to Mina were not malicious harassment from Mel and Sara, it was Minaâs punishment for oversleeping and falling behind the usual schedule.
To begin with, it doesnât mean that you canât do your job even if itâs hot. Even when itâs hot you will still get hungry, and when you eat food then you will run out of ingredients. As a result, someone has to go outside to do the shopping.
But, this is a comfortable place to heal your mind and body. There is no need to point out something like that.
ăThat must have been tough, Mina. Thanks for your hard work. You can now have a break in this cool room to your heartâs contentă
ăAahh, Alfried-samaâs kind words are touching my heart!ă
Thatâs right, thereâs no need to think about things like your bitterness when you work here. Such encouragement and appreciation are enough.
Even if you know that itâs something obvious, there are also times when you want to be praised.
I understand that feeling reeăźally well since Iâve experienced the time being a corporate slave.
ăNow then, here, I also have a cold slime cushion. You can enjoy it as much as you like ă
ăThank you very much. But, I would like it to be a bit softer!ă
Ahh, this cheeky person is indeed our Mina.
Helplessly, I use Fire magic to adjust the softness of the slime cushion while thinking about that and then I pass the slime cushion to Mina.
ăAhh, I canât get enough of this moderate softness and elasticity! Ah also, Alfried-sama, I would be glad if you make the temperature inside the room a bit cooler than this. Iâm wearing maid clothes so, itâs hotă
âŚâŚthis person is the kind of a spoiled person if you spoil them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I was convinced of that after looking at the poor maid lying down on the carpet.
