CH 334

“Kuoon.”

“Fuah …… Ash …… Good morning.”

“!”

“Nyaa”

“Mmm …… Ash? Morning ……”

I woke up with a cold sensation on my cheek and Ash was rubbing his head happily in front of me, wagging his tail. Sephiro, little snow tiger, and Aina woke up next. Aina had crawled into my futon instead of my brother’s, even though it was too small with the monsters to come to bed.

By the way, Sarge is sleeping curled up on the sofa in the living room.

“Kuoon Kuoon!”

“You’re so energetic in the morning, huh. Yes, yes, I’m getting up, so please move for now.”

“Ash, play with Aina.”

“Kuoon♪”

With Aina and the monster crawling out of the bed, I snapped my neck and headed for the living room. Makina and Nora, who was already awake, noticed me and called out to me. 

“Good morning, Lars.”

“Lars-kun, you’re awake? Good morning to you too, Sephiro!”

“♪”

“Oh, when did you get there.”

Before I knew it, Sephiro, who had been attached to my back, was on my shoulder, waving a branch and greeting them both.

“Good morning, you two. Where’s brother and Urka?”

“Dedite-kun is still sleeping.”

“We’re only going into town today, so you can let them sleep in. Especially since Urka was pretty worn out.”

As Makina said, after dinner, Urka fell asleep immediately after taking a bath, probably because he was relaxed. The skill uses magic power, and since he sent that many, it may not be unreasonable. 

“It’s …… nine o’clock, huh. I’d like to go out around ten, we can have breakfast and lunch together, right?”

“I’m fine, I ate a lot yesterday, I just need coffee. Do you think Urka will wake up?”

“Urka …… I should probably ask Milfy to wake him up when she comes. If a girl wakes him up, he’ll probably be surprised and wake up, yeah.”

“Ahhhh, you’re making a bad face.”

Nora says this with a pout, but Milfy definitely has a thing for Urka. And since Urka isn’t aware of it, I’d like to have them make contact as much as possible.

“Now, now, I’m sure Lars has his own ideas, Nora. Maybe Milfy-chan will be here soon, will Urka be okay? What about Aina-chan?”

As soon as Makina said this, Ash, little snow tiger and Aina came stumbling out of my room laughing.

“Ahahahahaha! Wait!”

“Hey, Aina. Brother and the others are still sleeping, so be quiet.”

“Kuoon.”

“Nyaa.”

“Oh, right! Yes!”

I gave Aina a light poke and then put Ash on my lap and the little snow tiger on the table. When Aina is also seated, Makina brings me my coffee and Aina’s milk.

“Do you have a plan?”

“Ngh …… Fuh, today, we’re going to go to the shopping district at noon to look for souvenirs and visit the tamer facilities. In the evening we will go to the theater to see Helena in action, what do you think about that?”

“I agree! I’m looking forward to seeing Helena-chan sing and dance.”

“I’ve only seen her once, but it was amazing. Oh, that’s right, we need to buy some ingredients when we go to the shopping district too. I’m going to try out some new dishes while everyone is here. And some pudding.”

“I’m looking forward to the pudding!”

This is essential because Aina and Nora were really looking forward to it, as Milfy explained. As I was thinking about what ingredients to buy, my brother woke up shortly after.

“Good morning, guys. I’ve slept a little too long.”

“It’s no wonder since you stayed up until we get home.”

“I don’t usually stay up that late because I have to work …… Fuah …… Oh, I have to give Schneider and the others breakfast.”

It hasn’t been that long yet, but I chuckle at the fact that it seems to have become a habit to my brother. The three of them will be cramped in the garden for a long time, so I’m going to take them for a walk today when we go to the tamer facility.

“Woof!”

“Oh, it’s Shuu.”

As soon as Aina opened her mouth, Schneider poked his head out of the small door that Ash and the others had used to get to the garden and made a sound. In no time at all, he was surrounded by Aina and the others, stroking his head and tugging on his beard, and left immediately. But Ash and the others who could get through thought they could play with him, and chased him into the garden.

“Oh, my pajamas are getting dirty ……”

“Let me bring them back …… Oh?”

Makina shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and just then she heard a noise at the front door. She thought it was probably Milfy, so she opened the front door to find Milfy and Helena standing there.

“Good morning!”

“Good morning♪”

“Huh? It’s Helena, what’s wrong? Ouch!?”

When I invite her in the door, Helena pouted and then slaps me on the shoulder.

“What do you mean, everyone’s going out today, right? I heard from Milfy, why didn’t you invite me?”

“Helena, you’re working at the theater today, aren’t you? I thought it would be fine in your next day off.”

When Makina, who had come with me to invite them, said that Helena had her arms around our necks and was whispering to us, her eyes fixed on Milfy.

“…… Milfy likes Ulka, okay?”

“W-Well, I think that’s what everyone sees …… but what about it?”

“And, Urka’s going out with us today …… I’m telling you, you’re not a good friend if you don’t invite me to something interesting like this.”

“Ahaha ……”

In short, Helena wants to witness her colleague’s romance …… but with a warm eye. Makina laughed and continued, saying that she had come early in the morning just for that.

“I’m thinking of having Milfy wake him up since Urka is still asleep.”

“Heh …… that sounds great! So, let’s do it immediately …… Milfy~ Come here for a minute?”

“? What is …… wait, that look on Helena-san’s face? …… I only have a bad feeling about this.”

She’s very perceptive.

But Makina and Helena smiled and walked away with Milfy by their sides.

“Now, now.”

“Now, now.”

“W-What’s going on!? W-Where are they taking me!?”

Our women are very close, I thought as I watched her go. Needless to say, a few minutes later, Urka’s screams echoed through the house.

Daily life …… I like that! (Mystery)

Thank you for reading!

“Helena, worry about yourself ……”

The trouble is just beginning!
