Arc 14 begins.

“Wow...”

Rana let out a sigh unintentionally at the beauty when she looked down at the snow-covered townscape of Serelirin from the second-floor window of her home.

The town of Serelirin is a commercial town spread along the Saikanan Highway.Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

The dull light yellow townscape along with the stone pavement of the Saikanan Highway only asserts its long history, and usually it’s not that beautiful.

However, today is different.

In the distance to the east, gray clouds that seem to have brought this snow remain above Mount Nanga, which looks small, but the weather in this town is now perfectly clear.

Even now, the townscape covered in snow that beautifully shines in a bluish-purple color will probably change to a beautiful golden color when bathed in the rising morning sun.

“Hey, it’s snowing! It’s snowing!”

Rana frolicked with excitement unbecoming of her age, and cutely patted her husband Parirot, who was still wrapped in a blanket on the bed.

“Uh, uuuh... It’s cold...”

However, her husband Parirot just mumbled something like that, and completely retreated his head into the blanket.

“Come on, Ike! It’s snowing! You can play in the snow with everyone at school today!”

Rana then patted the blanket of her son Ikeranjel, who was sleeping next to Parirot.

“Uh, uuuh... Sleepy...”

However, this 7-year-old son said something similar to his father Parirot, and escaped into the blanket with a similar movement.

Seeing that, Rana put both hands on her hips, made a pouting expression, and then lifted the corners of her mouth mischievously and...

“Geez, you sleepyheads! It’s morning! Hurry up and... wake uuuuup!”

While shouting that, she forcibly pulled the men’s blankets!

“Uwaaaaah!?”

The men had their cozy warmth taken away, and they let out a pitiful scream as they jumped up!

“Here you go, Zamago bean tea.”

“Oh! Thanks, Rana-chan!”

Now, a few dozen minutes later.

This family, now fully awake, was having breakfast while bathed in the morning sun shining through the window.

Slightly reddish toast bread, bacon from a large house rat called Sasame, and the recently popular Zamago bean tea.

It’s not particularly luxurious or poor, just a very common breakfast around here.

“Ahh, I wonder if school will be canceled today since it snowed quite a bit.”

“Well, Ike, what are you saying!?”

To her son Ikeranjel, who said such a thing while resting his chin on his hand and looking out the window after eating only his favorite bacon first, Rana raised her eyebrows.

“But today, we have math class. I’m not good at math.”

“Hahaha! I’m whispering words of love! Love is a flame, Ike. The important thing is to always add firewood to it!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

To his father who seriously said such a thing without any embarrassment, the son rubbed his nose with a slightly embarrassed face.

“Ike-kuuun! Let’s go to schoool!”

Now, at that time, such a girl’s voice echoed from the entrance.

Ikeranjel’s classmate, Samilty, had come to pick him up.

“Oh, okaaay! Well, since Sami is here too, Papa, Mama, I’m off!”

“Yes, have a good day. Make sure to study diligently, okay?”

“I got it!”

Rana approached Ikeranjel, hugged him lightly, and then kissed his forehead.

“...Listen, Ike. I’ll say it again, love is a flame. You have to light the fire, or it won’t blaze up on its own, you know?”

“Shut up! It’s not like that with Sami! Anyway, I’m off!”

Turning bright red at Parirot’s unnecessary comment, Ikeranjel ran with a clatter and flew out the entrance with force.

“Well then, I’ll get ready for work too! I’m very busy today, so I’ll be at the site from this morning. I might be a little late coming home.”

In the now quiet room, Parirot said such a thing while stretching and began checking the tools in his bag.

“Well, in that case, I’ll be alone at the shop today.”

“I’m counting on you. Today is the day when Mr. Kanantir comes to deliver, right?”

“Of course, I know.”

After quickly putting on his outerwear and slinging the bag on his back, Parirot exchanged a light kiss with Rana and then went out the front door.

After the sound of him stepping on the snow, gyumu, gyumu, completely faded away, Rana rolled up her sleeves and got into gear.

“Well then, let’s do our best today too!”

For the time being, put away the dishes, do some light cleaning, and then open the shop.

There are a lot of things to do today as well.

Thankfully, she’s busy.

Although Rana started washing the dishes in the cold winter water, there was no trace of the anxiety that had slightly crossed her face earlier when talking with her son.

She was happy.

Spending ordinary days, unremarkable everyday life, with the three of them as a family.

That was the greatest happiness for her.

From now on, she would continue this happiness.

With this family of three.

...

With this family of three.
