Side Story: Rainy Days

Lefi’s POV

I was out walking in the meadow area again today, as had been my daily routine since I became pregnant.

It was always sunny and pleasant in the meadow area...but the weather this day was different.

The sky was covered with clouds.

Water drops were falling from the clouds.

Rain...

They hit my umbrella, bounced off it, and fell.

Every time I walked, the rainwater that fell on the ground splashed on my feet.

“...Kakaka. Thinking about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced being hit by rain.”

Somewhat amused, I looked up at the umbrella I was holding.

Dragons do not generally avoid the rain.

They may take shelter from the rain because it depresses them, but even if they were drenched all day long, it would not even cool them down, much less make them physically ill.

Therefore, [Umbrellas] was a culture that did not exist in the Dragon Race.

Well, if I had been the same person as before, I would have just thought, “So what?”

But now, I could feel a sense of style in using the umbrella.

With this in mind, upon returning to the usual course I walked, I noticed that Illuna and the others were playing a little differently than before.

They were making something that looked like a boat out of paper and floating it in the water, leaving the ditch in the river untouched.

“What are you playing with?”

I, curious, called out to them, and Illuna, noticing me, answered.

“Oh, big sis! This is big brother’s play, saying, [Okay, let’s play Pennywise! If there’s a river, we have to float paper boats!] and then he made all the boats for us!”

“Penny...hmmm...another stupid idea, but it’s a very stylish game. And, what happened to him?”

“Ah, Layla came to visit him and said, [Yuki-san, this month, you already spent quite a lot of DP on your games, didn’t you?], so he gave up on playing and left.”

“It was the usual, idiotic Master!”

“...hmmm. Master with a pitiable look on his face.”

The Wraith Girls nodded after Enne’s words.

“Kakaka, I see. So it was as usual. Well, I’m going to make one of those as well! Can you guys teach me how to fold paper?”

“I’m on it! I’ll teach you how to make ships...”

And so Lefi joined Illuna and the others and began to play in the rain.

Yuki, who returned after a while, joined them, and they competed to see who had the prettier boat, or blocked each other by spraying water, or mud, or arguing that it was illegal to do this and that.

After enjoying the rainy weather to the fullest, when it got a little dark, we all took a bath at the Japanese Hot Spring Inn to avoid catching a cold, warm our bodies and souls. After that, we ate the most delicious food prepared by Layla while feeling pleasantly tired.

–The same old, same old routine.

Lefi, feeling a warm sensation deep in her chest, spent another day full of color.
