CH 18

“Good morning, Ginjiro-chan. Yesterday was fun, wasn’t it?”

Did I have fun yesterday?　I drank with Master and …… ah, I don’t remember how I got back to my room yesterday.

I don’t think I have a bad drinking habit, but to make sure if there were any serious problems, I ask Clara-san.

“I drank too much alcohol and my memory of yesterday is blurred, have I bothered you?”

Then Clara-san looks at me worriedly.

“Did you have no memory?　Even though it was so much fun. Ginjiro-chan, you served many bottles of your own liquor and treated everyone to drinks, yet you don’t remember that either. Isn’t those alcohol very expensive? I knew you were drunk, but I didn’t think you were that drunk.”

Money and alcohol are my own thing, so it’s fine.

Anyway, I’m a little relieved that I didn’t seem to cause any trouble at the inn or around me.

Barney-san made a special soup for me, and I relaxed in the dining room, but I can’t remember what happened yesterday.

When I asked him what happened, it seems that I had paid and treated all the guests a hamburger steak.

Alcohol is scary ……

When it was time for a meal, Hanz and Franz begged for a Coke, so I drank it with them.

They looked pleased, but Lutz, the eldest, did not drink the Coke.

After leaving Hungry Bear, I wondered if I should go to Elvis’ store today, but I haven’t decided what to do with the stall for the summer festival, so I decided to take a walk and think about it.

“What are you doing Ginjiro?”

When I turn around, Sophia shows her face from the luxurious carriage.

I wondered why she was here, but when I asked her about it, she told me that she was going to an orphanage to do volunteer work.

She invited me to go with her, so I decided to go volunteer as well.

===

We arrived at an orphanage on the outskirts of town.

When the carriage stopped, a sister-like person and children came out from the orphanage.

“Sophia-sama, thank you for everything.”

When the sister bows, the children bow in unison, saying,

“Thank you for everything.”

Seeing the children laughing innocently makes me feel warm.

It seems that today we will be weeding the field and cooking dinner.

Of course, we also provide financial assistance.

Since Sophia handed Sister a bag of money out of sight of the children, Ginjiro also handed him a small gold coin.

Sophia is a noble lady, but she regularly volunteers at the orphanage.

Not only does she give money, but she also labors with them in this way.

Ginjiro was impressed by the sight of the aristocratic young lady weeding.

“Let’s take a break. Everyone wash your hands.”

The Sister calls out and the children draw water from the well and wash their hands.

The elders are taking care of the little children, looking tough.

“Here’s some juice as a reward!”

Ginjiro takes out a bottle of apple juice from his item box.

It is Aomori apple juice, Ginjiro’s favorite.

There are no additives in it, and it is handmade by farmers who squeeze the apples.

The children’s eyes shine as I pour it into the wooden cups that each of them brought.

After everyone receives their juice, we drink it together.

The children chorus, “Oishii, Okawari!”.  TLN : Delicious, another one please!

I took apple juice from the item box and poured it into the empty cups.

Sophia and her maid, Amelie, join the children in saying “Okawari!”, so I have no choice but to pour them another one.

Sophia said “Yatta~” and smiled.  TLN: Yay /I did it

Well, if I can see that smile, then apple juice is no problem.

After that, the children kept calling for more juice.

After the break, the field work was finished with another round of weeding.

Sister, Sophia, and Amelie bathed the children, Sebastian and Ginjiro were cooking for supper.

Thinking that it would be a fun meal, I decided to make it a sandwich party.

Buy Japanese bread from Net store.

Cut out the crusts of the bread to make bread for sandwiches.

On a wooden plate, tuna and egg are each dressed with mayonnaise.

I put ham, cheese, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other vegetables on the plate so that they could make their own favorite sandwiches and eat them.

The apple juice was gone, so orange juice and milk were prepared.

The sandwich party, where you choose your favorite ingredients and make your own sandwiches, was a big hit with the kids.

The bread was soft and fluffy, and even the smallest child could eat it.

Of course, Sophia and Amelie enjoyed the sandwiches as well.

Ginjiro had a good time with everyone and realized that he was living in another world.
