292 284 stories, still small.

I slept well.

It's already neat.

Sitting on the bed and stretching his arms, he noticed a bright light coming in from the gap in the curtain.

The sky continued more and more after the rain came out, so I opened the curtain wondering.

"Wow, it's a snow scene"

Yesterday, when I returned from the woods to the village, the snow had stopped.

So I was feeling a little anxious.

I wondered what I would do if it rained again.

But apparently that was a concern.

Snow scenery on one side that spreads in front of you.

Is it back to normal winter?

I'd love that.

"Morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Druid, it's snow."

"Looks like it."

Get up and move out so Mr. Druid can see you approaching the window.

The windows in this village are a little small for winter snow protection.

And it's doubled.

Apparently one of the cold measures.

Sure, was it to keep the cold outside from coming into the room?

"Ivy, you can hunt."

"Yeah, it's a demon that comes out when it snows, isn't it? Fun. Well, if we're gonna make a trap, we're gonna have to pick up what we need in the dump."

"You're going to pick it up at the dump?

"What? Right?

"... well, okay. Then why don't we have lunch and then go to the dump?"

"Yeah."

Today's appointment is to find ingredients to trap in the dump.

Oh, so what happened to that kid?

See at the foot of the bed you slept in.

Are you tired of playing yesterday or are you still all asleep?

Sora and Frem and Ciel...... is that you?

I don't see a little black slime.

Are you among the Solas?

"What's up?

"Without the black slime"

Mr. Druid will also look around the bed and so on, but I can't find him.

When I check the clock, it's already breakfast time.

"Shall we look slowly later? I worried about Dra yesterday, so you should make sure she looks okay."

"Right. Oh, good morning, everyone. The potion is ready, so eat whenever you want."

"Don't come to breakfast."

Mr. Druid is waiting for me in front of the door, so I stroke the heads of the Solas one at a time before I go to him.

"Puffy ~"

"Teriyu ~"

"Nya-yay."

"Pefu."

"" Hmm?

I heard a strange noise at the end.

The sound was smaller than the others, but I did hear it.

The two of us look over the room, but they're still nowhere to be seen.

"Let's eat first"

"Yeah."

Leave the room and lock the door.

I'm worried about the last squeal, but let's say hello to the worried dras first.

I hope Mr. Salifah gets a proper thank you too.

"Good Morning"

Enter the dining room greeting guests staying at the inn.

We've been face-to-face for days now, so we got pretty close.

As soon as we get to our seats, breakfast is brought in.

"Is your body okay?

Mr. Dora gave us a horrible look to see how we were doing.

"Oh, I was worried, but I'm fine."

"Great. Yeah, I got some paperwork from the vigilante about the memory of the two of us, and Salifah was worried. I think I'll show my face later, so give him peace of mind."

"Okay. Sorry to hear that."

I'll drop Mr. Dora off at work and then have breakfast.

Even today, Mr. Salifah's handmade bread is delicious and he stuck with it too much.

Mr. Salifah showed up in the dining room as he calmed his overeaten stomach after a cup of tea.

And when I came before us, I looked at Mr. Druid and me still and said 'Good ~' and a relief look.

It seems to have caused me quite a bit of concern, and I feel sorry for it.

"I'm sorry to worry, it's okay because it doesn't interfere with everyday life"

"But you still don't get it, do you? I'm a little worried. Yeah, why don't we have dinner downstairs today? Because if you eat well, you'll feel safe."

Mr Druid sees me in Mr Salifah's suggestion.

I was also tilting my neck and looking at Mr. Druid.

Mr. Salifah laughs joyfully at us for acting the same.

"Shall I take care of you?

"Yeah. Shall I?"

"Good. I'll work harder than usual today to make something delicious!

"Mr. Salifah's rice is always great."

Mr. Salifah's expression breaks with pleasure in my words.

"Shit, Mr. Ivy. It's a pleasure to say."

No, the bread was great today, too.

It also seems to be seasoned with vegetables with soup, always delicious.

I'm always glad I came to this inn.

"Yes, could you teach me something to cook again?

"I would also like to teach Mr. Salifah how to cook. Do you mind?

"Hehe, I'm glad. Then we can teach each other."

Watching Mr. Salifah smile, don't dust.

Setting a date for teaching each other to cook, Mr. Salifah, who has a job, returned to the cooking area.

"Is it time to go back to your room?

"Yeah. I can move now"

"Ivy's had a little more to eat since she started staying at this inn. I could eat a little lunch."

Mr. Druid says happily, but I'm a little worried.

If it keeps growing like this, it sucks, right?

"I'd be relieved if you ate some more."

"What?"

Almost there?

"Ivy's diet has increased slightly, but she's still less than the same 9-year-old, isn't she?

"Are they all eating more?

"Are you eating? There's a girl in the seat a little further away, isn't there?

"Yeah. He's a red-haired kid, right?

"Yeah, that kid's seven, but he's eating better than Ivy, right?

Seven?

That? That kid and I were mostly back-length together, right?

And you're two years younger than me?

"What's up?

"No, I'm 7 years old, but I thought I was big."

"Mm-hmm, it's definitely a little big, but it wouldn't be so different from the other 7-year-olds"

Yes, it is.

Maybe I'm, like, looking up a little bit at the age of my kids.

"I'm still small, aren't I?"

"We're going to, right? Never mind."

Mr. Druid strokes his head gently.

It makes me feel much lighter that I was depressed about it.

"" I'm home ""

Back in the room, the potion I had prepared was gone beautifully.

"Ciel, you don't have to go hunting yet? Is your stomach okay?

"Nya-yay."

Are you all right?

"If you're hungry, report it right away. Constraint."

"Nya-yay."

Well, let's find a black slime.

Mr. Druid has already checked the area around the bed.

I look a little, but I don't see it.

"Black slime, where are you?

"Pefu."

Oh, where the luggage is? heard from.

"Please come out"

"Pe ~"

I don't know, I think they said no.

"Somehow, you've got more interesting company"

"Right."

"With that said, the black stains on the flem were gone."

Seeing Flem swinging happily when his gaze fits, there are no black spots that were there until yesterday.

It's really gone.

... Could black stains be the black slime you're looking for right now?
