âUmm, whatâs thisâŠ? Thereâs a paper with âHarukara-san, please do your best from now onâ written on it on displayâŠ.â
Harukaraâs eyes were swimming. The surprise was a success.
Alright, on to the second tactic.
Farufa went in front of Harukara, clutching a letter in her hands.
âTo Harukara Onee-san. Onee-san made a lot of different delicious juices for Farufa. You also told tons of stories about interesting plants, and made looking for mushrooms very fun for Farufa. You are slightly absent-minded, but because of that, you never get angry at anyone and have always treated me kindly.
Knowing that Harukara Onee-san is moving, Farufa is very sad. If you can, please remain here, and I wish that youâd tell me more stories again. However, I also feel that I want you to flourish in your new placeâŠ. There might be various hardships ahead, butâŠplease smile and live from now o-. Uu uuâŠ. Y-youâre leavingâŠ..â
Farufa was overcome with emotions and cried before finishing. Itâs improper to say âniceâ to my crying daughter, but probably might move Harukaraâs heart, right?
âUuâŠ. Iâll give thisâŠ!â
âAh, thanksâŠ.â
Harukara accepted that letter.
âNow, what is thisâŠ?â
Next is Sharusha.
âI thought about Harukara and drew this.â
She drew Haruka sitting in the medicine processing room. As expected, she drew extremely well.
âUmm, erâŠ. Thank you very muchâŠâŠâ
While Harukara was confused, she did properly accept the drawing.
âWell then, letâs drop this dreary business and drink happily today!â
I put the alcohol on the desk.
âThis is the 300,000 gold wine âGoddessâ Tearsâ and the 500,000 gold spirit âGloryâ. I splurged and bought them, so make sure your savor it without fair before you get drunk!â
âEeh! U-um, master? This is some sort of misunderstandingâŠ.â
âItâs not a mistake! Youâve made plans to move to Nasukute Town, right? Therefore, todayâs our farewell celebration for you!â
For some reason, Harukara suddenly turned pale.
âMmm? You also feel like crying too? Itâs fine, go ahead and cry. Weâre all family after all.â
âMaster, youâre wrong! I donât have plans to move anywhere!â
That remark dropped down on the ânow onâ part of âHarukara-san, please persevere from now onâ.
We were at a loss of words.
âWhat did you say? ButâŠarenât you heading to meet the Nasukute Townâs realtor?â
âI am indeed going to go master, but I do not have any plans to leave here.â
âThenâŠ? Are you deciding to go only when you find a good house?â
âNo master! AS-I-SAID, I never had any intentions of leaving! Iâm only going to go to the realtor just to make a medicine and beverage workshop in Nasukute Town!â
Now that she mentions it, didnât she say before that she was thinking on building a workshop some time ago?
âEhâŠ? In that case thenâŠwe all misunderstoodâŠ?â
âThat is so master. At least, I plan to continue to live in this house butâŠ.â
In other words, thereâs no need for the farewell party anymore.
âSo that was~it! Here I was worried and wasted my timeâŠ.â
I dropped my shoulders. I felt exhausted.
âJust with these two drinksâŠ800,000 gold went flying awayâŠ.â
âAzusa-sama, I am sorry. I should have collected more evidence. It had been a flying farceâŠâ
âEveryone? Isnât it becoming an âitâs somehowâ my faultâ kind of mood?! Isnât that weird?!â
However, at times like this, children were sincere at least.
âYou arenât leaving! Farufa, happy!â
Farufa reached and hugged Harukara.
âT-thank you very much! It feels like I received a congratulations. Finally!â
Thatâs it. It is a happy thing is for certain, so that kind of shift is all you need.
âWell then! We will now start the âCongratulations for Staying Harukaraâ party! Everyone! Prepare the alcohol and the juice for the toast!â
In any case, we had an extravagant dinner that day.
âAh~⊠This wine~. It is truly mild and mellow~. I canât resist it~.â
âOf course you wouldnât be able to. Youâre drinking and crying at the same time. Actually, Iâve never had a drink this pricey.â
The best I had before was a time when I was invited into the village for an event and they opened a bottle of expensive alcohol for me.
âThe meal today is extremely delicious. Are all of my favorite things used in them?â
âThatâs because I made it while considering that it would suit Harukara-sanâs tastes well. Personally, Iâd prefer a little more meat. I donât want to waste food, so please eat up.â
Leica brought out one dish after another. I thought that the portions were a bit small; it seemed to be a strategy to win by the numbers.
According to Harukara, if she made the workshop at Nasukute, she would be able to go there and back within the day if she walked. Since sheâll be the president, there wonât be a need to be there everyday once things work out well.
âBy the by, donât you need an enormous sum to create a workshop?â
âIâm putting in the money Iâve earned so far. Even if I fail though, I wonât be having any debts, so itâs safe. However since Iâm going to make it here in a different region, I have a lot of uncertainties to think about whether it will go well or not.
Harukara seems to be reliable on that point, so itâs fine.
âThe town of Nasukute is at the foot of the mountain. Since underground water flows around there, spring water is abundant. So, if I use that water, itâll be possible to put on sale a health drink similar to âNutritional Alcoholâ in large quantities.â
âAlso, thereâs a limit to employing people from Furata Village, but if itâs Nasukute, itâs possible to hire ten employees. Iâm planning to bring experienced elves at the start, but if I can get many people from Nasukute as staff, it will also become job creation, whether it will be good or bad.â
âI see. The plan was to make it approximately the townâs speciality, so do it firmly ok.â
âYes! I will work hardly!â
Three minutes later and Harukara drank herself drunk. Now she couldnât make a meaningful conversation butâŠ.
âIt will probably be fine.â
Leica said that as she smiled while looking over Harukara.
âThatâs right. Management is her strong point.â
I was able to to celebrate the start of a new life of a family member, so that was good.
