302 Episode Seven: Freedom

Side: Roséne

"With the three of you... it's hard to move on."

At this rate, it's going to take six months to complete one of them.

We sighed deeply as we watched the wood being thrown out.

It will be very difficult to complete the objective's ship.

"I'm sorry. If only I had more power..."

"I'm not blaming you." Simply, we're shorthanded. "

I think Nora is right. In this situation, I don't think the efficiency will change much when the manpower is large.

After all, if we want efficiency, we need to increase the number of heads.

"But... I'm no stronger than the two of you." Even so... I've never lost a trial of strength among the children of the village... "

Looks like Aurore is more concerned about losing to a girl than efficiency.

Well, I don't care if it's a boy like this.

"This is the power of magic." It's called attributeless magic, but you can use your magic to strengthen your body. "

"Oh, is there even such magic?" I'm a wizard too.... "

Unless Aurora has attributes, we can't do all of this.

It's pathetic, but I can't help it because I was born with all this.

Attribute? What's that?

What? Don't you have this card, Auro?

That said, Nora showed Auro a status card.

"Somehow, the paper came out of my body..." Is that magic, too? "

Don't you know the status card?

"That's right. You can only get this card if you're a nobleman or a merchant's child who can pay a lot of money to the church."

In the first place, commoners who are unlikely to get attributes don't care about their stats.

"What!? Do you need a lot of money to get this?"

That's why my boxed-in daughter... she's terrified when she thinks she was going to become a merchant without even knowing that.

"Last year, your mother handed out the cards to the common people free of charge, and you were fighting with the Christian state, don't you remember?"

You know that it's become an international problem, don't you?

"Ahh... I didn't know much about the house because I was training in magic tools back then." But Lena's mother, who doesn't like the waves, is going to quarrel and sell it to her country's opponents. "

"My mother used to kill her family in a Christian country." There's no reason not to resent me. "

No matter how gracious your mother is, she is not a saint enough to endure the murder of her family.

My son was murdered... and I think there's something else.

Someday, the kingdom will have to receive the reward it deserves.

"That's what it was about..."

"Rosé... my family was killed?"

Auro, who doesn't understand our conversation well, is worried sad.

I'm not worried about that at all.

"Before I was born."

"Oh, is that so..."

"What are you doing in the dark?" Huh, wouldn't Nora be able to investigate Auro's attributes? "

Seeing Auro grieving on his own, he decided to revert to the subject.

"What!? Nora, can you do that?"

Effect: Aurore smiled instantly.

"Fufufu, of course! Leave it to me!" But there are no magic stones here, so I'll go back to my house for now. At the same time, Auro's going to have dinner at home. "

I made it for Nora who invited me to dinner in a natural way... well, can I also thank her for her help? While complaining in my heart, I was convinced on my own.

"Are you sure? We did it." Ah, but I just had to tell Dad and Mom that I didn't need dinner. "

Okay, then we'll go home.

"Oh, I'll be right there!"

"Fufufu. You look like a healthy boy. I remember the boys from the orphanage."

That's right.

It's like I'm looking at my sister's boyfriend...

Ping-pong!

When I was getting ready for dinner on my way home, the bell rang immediately.

"Yes, please, come in."

"This house... is so splendid." Is it okay for a dirty me like me to step in? "

"What are you talking about?" If you don't get in right now, I'll close it. "

Ok, I understand. I'm sorry to bother you!

Saying the stupid thing, Auro rushed into the house as he tried to close the door because he didn't want to get in.

Ah, I'm here. Did Gallo give you permission?

"Yeah. Dad said to take this."

Having said that, the fish handed over to Auro was big enough that I could not hold it without holding it with both hands.

"Wow, you're not a good fish!" Was this captured today? "

"That's right, eat it fresh!"

"All right, then, we'll have to cook this fish today." Ah, but... I don't know how to eat fish. Do you know Rosé? "

"You can't cook in the first place..."

"I could have done it before... but I'm not confident right now"

Until she was celebrated as a queen in the elves, she lived by harvesting plants and cooking fish just like ordinary people.

But that was eight hundred years ago. You can't possibly remember.

Well, then, can Aurora do it?

"Huh? You guys can't even poke a fish?" Since I was five years old, I've been helped to make fish. "

Well, growing a fish in a fishing village can be as simple as feeding it.

"We aristocrats don't cook in the first place." Then I'll leave the fish and cooking to you both. In the meantime, I'll prepare the magic stones and ingredients for you. "

"Well, that's fine... I can't cook even if I eat fish." Cooking is my mother's job. "

"Don't worry, I'll cook for you. All you have to do is sink the fish."

You can cook a fish that has become a driftwood.

"All right, I'll take care of the fish!"

Well then, let me ask you something ~

Huh. That won't come back until the food is done.

Looking at Nora, who was well out of the room, she muttered to herself.

What? Why? Is it so hard to prepare magic stones?

"It's not like that." Just take it from my bag. "

Five minutes late, I can bring it.

Well then, why?

"I want to hide my inability to cook."

"Huh, why? Because I'm embarrassed I can't cook?"

"Well, that's it." She's too prideful to be seen. "

I hate losing. I hate being known for exposing my weaknesses. There's a side to Nora.

"Huh. But how can Rose cook?" Noblemen don't cook, do they? "

”Oh, that's because... I've been running away from home lately”

When I said it myself, I became embarrassed.

I raised my shoulders to avoid seeing the reddened ears.

"What? Rose ran away?"

Y-Yeah, that's right.

"Huh... sure, Rose is going to run away."

"... eh? Do I look so childish?"

I was told something so unexpected that I stopped and asked back.

It's often said that I'm an adult... but it's the first time I've been treated as a child, including in my previous life.

This girl... where did she see and judge me?

"Oh, it's not about the way it looks."

Putin!

"Where am I understepped?"

"And you didn't say a word about your height!" I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, don't grab my chest... "

"Not at all... there's no next time." So, where did you judge me that way? "

That's rude. This is a period of admiration.

"I just saw Rosé today, and I felt like it."

“Learn more”

That's how I felt when I saw it.

"Yeah... it's kind of like guessing, so it's hard to explain." Somehow, Rosé seemed to like freedom? "

"Do you like freedom?"

"You're free..."

That's right. Rose hates patience, doesn't she?

Do you want me to call you my servant?

Once again, I grabbed Auro's chest.

You're making fun of me, aren't you?

Oh, I didn't say that!

No, I don't like patience = I think it suits me.

"Where did you think I was my selfishness?"

"That's why you didn't say anything about me..."

"Just tell me."

"Ugh, I don't have much to say, but I thought that was just talking when I wanted to talk..." Even in the morning, if you're just a normal woman, you won't quarrel with the old people like that. "

I don't sell quarrels. But, well... I guess that's what's going to happen, because I ended up making you angry.

"... yes. Looking at me like that, you judged me to be my servant."

"It's not that I'm sorry." Even I long for a free way of life! "

You're not free enough right now, are you?

Doesn't it look like you're in some kind of shackle?

”I... absolutely don't want to die without ever leaving this village”

Well, you can come out then.

It's not as easy as getting out of the Elves' town.

"I can't do that." I can't use magic like the two of us. "

"So you're giving up?" That's... more than half my life lost. "

You can't live in such a small world without being bored.

I can tell you that Rosé really likes freedom.

……

When I was told, there was not only a village until a short while ago, but also a cage that barely came out of my room.

When I became an adventurer... my mind was changing naturally.

"I was once on my dad's boat when I was little and I went out to sea." You know what I mean? The ocean is huge. "

I'm sure you understand the ocean better than I do.

"At that time... if I grow up and go out into that wide sea, I will be free too." I felt that way. "

"That's free..."

"Please! Take me to the sea!"

"... I'll take you to the sea!" Isn't that a cool place to be? "

"Nora..."

I understood from my sister's words that I had a good atmosphere with Auro objectively.

"Neither of you has progressed at all." I can't stand hunger anymore. "

I-I 'm sorry!

……

Fine. I'll take you to the sea. If Nora hadn't ransacked, that's what I'd have said then.

When I imagined myself like that, my face became hot again.
