âIvy, what was Mr. Ginal like? \n
Stop the hand that was preparing the futon for your fatherâs words.
âStrange, eh â getting belly black all the time?
âBelly black⌠no, well, I felt that wayâ
Because that gaze that made Mr. Garritt angry.
I donât care what you think, it seemed fun.
You laughed and deceived me when you noticed my gaze, but I think thatâs definitely the kind of guy like Mr. Schiffer who puts his opponent in verbal skill and enjoys watching it.
Like Mr. Ratlua, heâs not the type to push slowly with a smile.
âAh, thatâs not what I want to hear⌠didnât you feel bad or something?
I twist my neck to a slightly strange question or a declaration on my way home that doesnât make sense, but it doesnât feel bad.
âI donât have any particularly bad impressions.â
âDid your father feel anything?
âWell, if I did, Iâd want to be two with Ivy, so Iâm curious.â
You did come to me, not your father, on the way to cooking, didnât you?
But that must be because the souvenir was for me.
On the way home, that uncertain declaration⌠with that said, you didnât have a father.
But does that make your father suspicious?
Thatâs why Iâm deciding that Soraâs okay.
âWhen Mr. Garritt and the others came to the tent, Mr. Ginal wasnât there. I tried to get to Ivy right away, but I felt like they were interrupting me.â
âWell, Iâm deciding that Soraâs okay, but stay alert.â
Think about Mr. Ginal in the futon.\n
What are you going to do when youâre two with me?
Wow⌠I had a nasty imagination.
I heard about people who liked kids in many ways when they were targeted by the organization.
Even when you were attacked in the woods, it was to sell to people like that.
Iâm not so close to Mr. Ginal yet, but I donât feel like someone to be wary of.
I feel worried, one way or another.
But I donât know what the hell theyâre worried about.
Weâll see each other again, and weâll be a little careful.
âWhat are we going to do today?
In the breakfast soup, dip the black bread and transport it to your mouth.
The soup adds milk to the rest of yesterday and the gentle flavor you recommend in the morning.
âRight, you want to go check on the town rumors?
Rumors canât be foolish, can they?
If you have a problem, you are obliged to report it to the vigilante or guild.
But no one reports a little change in routine.
It would be too much harder to get a report if you had even reported such trivialities.
But that little change can be very important at times.
âThatâs settled. Shall we go after a little break?â
âYeah. Oh, I wanted to wash it!
Dirty clothes, towels, they were accumulating.
âThen why donât we go wash up firstâ
Nod at your fatherâs words and drink up the soup.
Clear dishes and hold a bag with laundry.
I lowered the bag containing the Solas from my shoulder and left the square to find the laundry in the village of Hataka.
A short walk will reveal a lively place. \nLaundry still seems busy in this village.
âThe laundry would probably be the best place to hear rumors.â
âRight,â he replies to the crush with his father.
The laundry gathers the people of this village and the adventurers.
There may not be a better place to hear all sorts of rumors than here.
Though many things donât come out of the rumors.
Looking for a place to wash, the place was just empty to see if the laundry was done.
Immediately secure the place and say hello to those on the left and right.
âIâm sorry to bother youâ
A woman with a good width next to her right and a slightly older woman to her left.
Both women looked at me and your father and responded with a smile.
Wash from a large blanket at first.
If you donât finish the first thing you have the most strength, your arm will get hard later.
Your father does what he can with one arm, so itâs much easier than one.
âI was selling something interesting, a new store on the main street, so Iâll come back later.â
They say the investigation team could be put together again.
âUh, really? Thatâs because something went wrong, right?
Where the hell do you get that information before the announcement?
Village people are a little awesome, arenât they?
âSomething wrong with the trash in the dump?
Turn your gaze to what you hear from a little further away.
I saw a woman scrubbing a large cloth talking to the woman next door.
âReally? Look, my son.â
\nFinish washing all the laundry and put it in the basket.
Letâs go back to the square and let them dry near the tent.
âThank you. Sorry to bother youâ
If you noticed, the left and right people were replacing you, but you greet them and leave the place.
Leaving the laundry, take a little deep breath.
âDumpster, donât worry about itâ
Iâll report back to Mr. Ginal when I see him.
Listen to the voices around you as you return to the square.
âI wonder what happened to the new species of demons that showed up in the woodsâ
Itâs not about that, is it?
Looking softly at those who heard the story, the three adventurers.
âYou mean a bunch of demons that showed up in the back of Hattada village woods?
I laugh bitterly when I see your father.
âOh, thereâs a new breed there.â
âLooks like weâre back in the woods. They said the investigation team came out and looked into it, but they couldnât find any traces.â
The investigation teamâs out?
What do you care about moving out of the place early?
âThat rumor hasnât disappeared yet.â
I nod with a sigh at your fatherâs words.
I canât believe you even left the investigation team.
âBe careful what you do.â
Iâm going to be careful.
