CH 74.1

The water is shimmering and the sun is shining high in the summer sky.

It’s time to open the pool again this year before it gets too hot.

The slaves had worked hard to build it last summer and it was located in the site where the theater was to be built and it was opened as a leisure fishing pond where fish were released when it’s not summer.

It was well received and after everyone had tried it as a leisure activity, it was highly favored by a few fishing enthusiasts.

However, a swimming pool should be used as a swimming pool.

Cold water, floating heart, swimsuit, and summer of love.

Well, it’s none of my business but I’d rather have them hook up naturally than have them cry to me later to start up a blind date.

I’m planning to actively recruit people for events in the future so take advantage of it, okay?

Anyway, today, volunteers gathered to clean the moss that had accumulated in the pool since this morning.

We placed as many magic water bottles as we could on the edge of the pool to keep the water running and then we just kept on scrubbing with the brushes.

There were not enough brushes for all of us to use so they took turns doing work and the rest of us had a party.

By the poolside, several whole boars and birds from the dungeon were skewered and roasted over charcoal fires set up in various places.

「Uwooooo!! Meatttt!!」

「Stop it!! I’m still grilling it!」

「It’s cooked already! Let me eat!」

「You guys eat the meat on the grill over there! I’m responsible for making this boar tasty! Get out! Out!」

The attack and defense between those in charge of grilling the whole roasted meat and those who are aiming for them is going on in various places. The white blade of knives reflects the glare of the sun.

Those who did not care about the whole roasted meat formed a crowd around the griller controlled by Isuka, a tigerkin, who had taken the role of yakiniku steward.

「Meaattt! Meaattt!」

「All you can meat!? This is heaven!」

The crowd cheered loudly every time boar meat or chicken meat directly from the meat factory was put on the grill even though they are usually fed with meat.

Are you some middle schoolers?

Why are you acting as if I never fed you?

It’s noisy, it’s hot, the pool stinks where it’s being cleaned, I can no longer stay in this place!

I’m going back to my twins!

After quickly finishing the repair that needed to be done, I said my goodbyes to the party and quickly headed home.

「Abu abu」

「Babu」

「You are so energetic〜, you’re so good at flapping your arms and legs〜」

A few weeks after their birth, the twins were wriggling around the bed.

Big brother Noa has black hair and little sister Lacus has blonde hair so even though they’re not even a year old, it is easy to distinguish them.

It’s a hot summer but the two of them seem to be in a good mood given that they feel the breeze from the fan I built.

The fan, which I made using all my knowledge about magic tools I had learned from my job, was a full fledged fan with a swivel function and timer. It was a big hit with the servants in the house, not to mention my wife.

The big propeller, carved out of oak wood, whirling at low speed, was very cool to look at.

I made about six of them. Four of which are being used in the house while the other two were given away as gifts.

「Come to think of it, I heard there’s now a salon in the royal capital that is dedicated to you.」

Laura-san, who was reading a document on her easy chair, said in an amused tone to me as I was pinching Noah’s pudgy feet.

「Salon? What’s that?」

「It’s a social gathering place for soldiers who have been treated by you.」

「Hee〜, so you mean that Reese-san and Viscount Fruda, who are currently undergoing treatment, will go to that club?」

「Salon, not club. Well, not everyone who you’ve treated will go there. It’s a salon where bored veterans comfort their lethargy from being retired by following their newly formed connections.」
