Chapter 375: A New Morning
Last night was another spirited training session.
Even though it was an all-nighter, the soft, warm bed helped my body feel like it was asleep, so I had no trouble.
It’s about time I wake up from my deep sleep and……
“Toh! 【Espie Dive】! Big brother, wake uuuuup!”
“Buheoah!?”
“Ehehe~, Big brother…… huuug~~~”
My eyes opened at once as a shock hit me like a full body blow.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Espie hugging my whole body with a smile on her face.
Wh, what is this……
“Hey, Espie. You do realize how much you weigh now? Unlike in the past, doing that now is like an attack with a deadly weapon, so why don’t you show some restraint?”“Buu~, Slayer, how insensitive of you to talk about weight to a girl~, Besides, Big brother isn’t angry with me~, because he’s experiencing my Espie Dive for the first time in a while, so he’s actually happy and nostalgic about it~♪”
The pain and weight of the impact, and the shock made it hard for me to breathe for a moment.
Sorry, but it’s several times more powerful than it used to be.
But still, I felt a certain nostalgia.
“Huh…… geez, Espie~”
“Nfufu~, good morning, Big brother ♪.”
“Are you okay, Brother?”
In the past, the morning of the day after I stayed in the elven village….
Espie woke me up like this, and Slayer also complained bitterly in dismay. It was something like this.
I certainly don’t feel like getting angry……
“G, good morning, you two.”
“Nfufu~, see? Big Brother didn’t get mad at all? I love you so much, Big Brother, I love you so much! Snuggle snuggle, pat pat, huuuuug!”
“Whoa, h, hey, Espie, don’t cling so much~”
“It’s fine, it’s fine~”
Espie, pleased with my reaction, hugged me more, rubbed her cheeks against me, and even patted my head… wait, no, you really shouldn’t be doing this in front of your boyfriend……Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Eh, Espie! You’re patting Brother… I, I want to pat him too! That’s not fair!”
“Wait, is that it!?”
For some reason, Slayer was jealous of Espie instead, not me, so he forcibly pulled Espie away from me.
No lovers’ quarrel in the morning~…… I thought……
“Hehe……”
“Hmm? Big brother?”
“Mhmm, what are you laughing at, Brother?”
I couldn’t help but smile.
But, they both tilted their heads at me……
“You guys are laughing too, aren’t you?”
Espie and Slayer were both laughing about something or other. They looked like they were having fun.
“Ehehe. Un, I guess so.”
“Well… right… it can’t be helped.”
“Oh.”
It was natural to laugh in such a noisy morning scene.
Yes, it’s fun…… and I’m happy……
『…… Hmmm……』
「Hey, Tre’ainar?」
『…… tis nothing …… important~』
「I, I see……」
『Hmm……』
Well, my master was a little sulky, but… I guess I’ll have to do something about that in the future.
“Anyway, let’s get up. Oh… what nice weather.”
I got out of bed and opened the window in my room. The fresh air was a little chilly, but just breathing it in cleared my head.
Basking in the fresh sunlight, I felt that I had a calm morning for the first time in a long time.
“Sir Earth, breakfast is prepared! Are you awake?”
“Hmm? Oh, is that Amicus?”
“Indeed it is. Pray, pardon my intrusion~”
With a gentle knock, Amicus entered.
She looked cheerful with a dazzling smile.
“Good morning, Sir Earth! But… brother and sister, what mischief are you about so early in the morn?”
“Oh, good morning, Amicus.”
“Nmmo~…… Sir Earth, please join us in the living room when you are ready. I have taken it upon myself to prepare this morning’s meal for you, okay?”
“Y, yes…….”
“Not only the meal… I’ve also set aside freshly gathered milk of our pride. So do be sure to drink as much as you like, okay?”
“Huh!?”
Milk…… oh, milk. They raised livestock, so the milk they were proud of was cow’s milk and stuff like that. I get it.
“Also, if you don’t mind, the Pai pie you enjoyed last night as well…… warmed afresh, they are ready to accompany the milk… Pray, partake of both, together…”
“Y, yes, the sweets, right? Yeah, I know!”
Pai pie was a sweet. Pai pie was a sweet. It’s normal to have sweets with milk.
“All right, let’s go. Come on, you two.”
I shouldn’t lose my composure. I act like a cool gentleman.
“…… Hey, Espie…… Amicus …… she’s naturally like this, right? She’s not doing this on purpose, right?”
“Ahaha…… I wonder. I’m starting to not even know myself… Girls grow up fast, Slayer.”
Whether she was being natural or calculated, I couldn’t change my attitude. So I tried to stay calm and cool.
“Good morning, everyone.”
“Good morning. Now, tarry not—take your seats swiftly, all of you.”
“Usu”
When I walked into the living room, breakfast was already laid out on the table for everyone and Ma’am was waiting.
And……
“Young man, you were quite wearied last night. Did you find your rest well?”
“Yes, I slept soundly.”
“All is well then.”
I also met Mr. Chieftain, who happened to be fetching a newspaper from the box at the entrance, and exchanged a quick greeting… huh?
“Huh? Mr. Chieftain…… this is a hidden village, but you still get newspapers?”
“Hmm? Ah~, this?”
A simple question. But when you think about it, it’s really strange.
A hidden elven settlement kept secret from the world.
Hunters were roaming the forest yesterday looking for it.
But, in response to my question, Slayer laughed……
“No, Brother. That’s a dedicated post I have set up at my shop in Ghenkan…… there’s a magic circle engraved in that box, which forwards the contents here.”
“Huh?”
“I had Larou’iph help me with it. Well, we need to gather information about this settlement and the outside world… even if we don’t meddle, we need to know about the current state of affairs….”
“Heh~”
As I admired the level of skill involved, Mr. Chieftain nodded and flipped through the newspaper.
“Dear, put the paper aside and take your place.”
“Father.”
“Yes, I shall………… Hmm?”
In any case, let’s start with breakfast.
Nodding at the words of his wife and Amicus, Mr. Chieftain quickly folded the open newspaper.
But right after that……
“…… This is …….”
Mr. Chieftain stopped folding the newspaper and stared at it with a serious expression.
“Mr. Chieftain?”
“What’s wrong?”
“?”
Was there anything that bothered him?
Then Mr. Chieftain turned the newspaper he was reading toward us, and there it was……
DISCIPLINARY DISMISSAL OF MIKADO, ADVISOR TO THE KING OF THE JAPONE KINGDOM, AND KOUJIRO, THE CHIEF WARRIOR AND ONE OF THE SEVEN HEROES
To address the accountability for the mass voluntary resignations and emigration of Japone Kingdom warriors, King Umashika of the Kingdom of Japone has announced the disciplinary dismissal of two wartime heroes from their official royal positions. The dismissal of the two, who were close associates of the late King Meikun—who passed away three years ago—and are recognized as global heroes, has sent shockwaves through the Kingdom of Japone. This move is expected to cause further unrest among the member countries of the Union. Future developments will be closely watched.
It was some pretty big news concerning my father’s and mother’s comrades-in-arms…… and……
This was the beginning of trouble to come.
