We're finally out!

Congratulations, Lady Alecia.

　It was thirty minutes after Alecia began to persist.

　Alecia's joyful voice and the maid, Lim's congratulations came from the neighbors.

　From Alecia's joy, it seems that she was finally able to pull out the board as declared.

　A bouncy voice and soft expression, which is rare for the always calm Alecia. The expression on Alecia's face right now is probably a bare reaction to forgetting the duchess.

　When I was surprised at the gap between the smile and the spare smile, Alecia noticed my gaze and cleared her cheeks with a slightly embarrassed look of embarrassment as she cleared her throat.

''I'm sorry I've kept you waiting for so long. It's a shame that it's not all out, but we can't stay here forever.

　Is he a perfectionist? Alecia seems to have some regrets.

　However, if you keep up with Alecia, you won't be able to leave your pitching target.

''In the meantime, there are prototypes in the mansion as well, so you can enjoy them after you return.

Oh, really?　Then I'll enjoy the rest of the story at Al's mansion in my free time.

　Perhaps because she knew she could do it after she returned, Alecia's interest left the pitching target for now.

　Once Aleysia was comfortable, the next step was to convince Ra-chan, who was stuck in the magic target.

　Thirty minutes have passed since they started playing, but Ra-chan has been ejecting the ball with a psychic the whole time.

　The ball is now able to reach the target, but she has not yet mastered the speed and control of the ball. The ball is off target.

　It takes a lot of concentration and strength to continuously use the magic, but it's great that he doesn't have trouble with it.

　It's a good idea to have a good foundation of magical education at home.

''Ra-chan, it's time to end this.''

Eh, I want to do some more.

　I say so, but little Ra-chan seems to be completely hooked on this game and wants to keep playing it.

　It's cute that she's an honest girl, but it's also cute that she's trying her best to shoot something and complaining about it.

But if you do it too much, you'll run out of magic and energy and you'll get tired.　

　Saying that, I look over at Loretta, Ra-chan's maid, and I look over at Loretta.

　I wonder if she understood my intention to persuade Ra-chan, and Loretta also opens her mouth.

''When I get sleepy, the day might be over again in a flash, just like yesterday. Oh, even though it's the harvest festival that Rahna-sama was looking forward to.''

'Eh, that's too good to be true!　There are still other interesting events and good food in addition to the pitching target!

'What? There's more!　Okay, I'll stop!　Pitching target is over!

　When he realized that there were other interesting things to do besides this place, Ra-chan impatiently declared the end of the event.

　It seems that the interesting events have won out over magical practice now.

　''Yeah, you can practice magic anytime you want, but you can only enjoy the harvest festival now.

''It's good to have Alfried-sama around to help guide Rana-sama.

Can you stop talking like you're cheating on Ra?

　I'm worried about Ra-chan. It's off-putting to me to talk to such a young girl like that, as if I'm playing a trick on her.

"Hey, Al, you know what? "Hey, Al, we're done with the kick target, what are you going to do about it?

　As I was rushing into Loretta, sister Elinora, Luna and Eric returned.

　Apparently, that one had already enjoyed the kick target.

　The Elinora sisters were grabbing towels and wiping away the sweat that was slightly floating around.

　That's right. It's been about thirty minutes since we moved to the kick target.

''Alecia-sama, what should we do?　Do you want to do a kick target as well?

'I'm curious, but I'm thirsty and need a break soon. There's a kick target in the compound too, right?

Yes, I have.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather just skip it and take a break.

　As for Alecia, she enjoyed the pitching target, so she's already satisfied with the exercise.

'How's Ra-chan?'

'If Al's house has one, I'll take a break!　Because I want to enjoy the Harvest Festival all the way through!

　He was quite scared of what he just said about the distribution of strength.

　Ra-chan told him that he was going to take a break once and for all.

''So, we'll skip the kick target.

Yeah, I get it.

　I replied, and sister Elinora returned to the group of girls who had given her away.

'I'm sorry for borrowing it for so long. You're free to use it now. Oh, and that towel you lent me, I'll wash it before I return it to you!

'No, sister!　I want it back in its fresh form........

Hey, this looks kind of bad, so I'll definitely wash it before I give it back.

　The cat-covered sister Elinora was unintentionally donned by the feverish village girl's words.

　I don't know how she got there, but I thought it was a bad idea for me to just return the towel to that girl. The Elinora sister's decision was the right one.

　As Elinora thanked the villagers, the others in line began to line up at the target we were using.

　Somehow, they're also lined up at the target I made with my earth magic. I'm sorry to erase that one, so I decided to leave it as it is as an apology for occupying it for so long.

　The boards are heavier than the wooden ones, but I'm sure the men would enjoy playing with even that.

'Well, let's go get a drink or something.

Yeah, let's do that.

　Once everyone was in agreement, we left the target area.

　After working out at a pitching target and other activities, we bought some libra juice from a stall and headed to the square.

　Normally, the square is a resting place where villagers use it as a place to barter, or gather for a chat.

　However, perhaps because of the harvest festival today, tables and couches had been set up for people to rest after eating.

　It's nice to eat in the streets lined with food stalls, but I'm sure some people would prefer to sit down and savor the food at leisure. It's not nice to go back home just because you're tired, and whoever thought of setting it up knows what they're doing.

'Something about it being a bit crowded this year, isn't it?

　It's usually a quiet image, but this year it seems to be a little more crowded.

''........doesn't that mean there are a lot of people who think like us?''

　Sister Elinora answered somewhat tossingly, but it seems like she has a point.

　It's only natural that if you move your body with a pitch target or kick target, you'll be just as thirsty as we are and want to take a break to relax.

　As a result, it was only natural for us to seek out a resting area where we could sit down and relax.

　Normally, Elinora sister doesn't think too much about things, but sometimes she says some sharp things.

It's good to see you have a visitor. If I didn't, I'd be scratching my head, wouldn't I?

Oh, so it came out. I'm sorry.

　Apparently, the voice of my mind had unconsciously come out of my mouth.

　It's a bad habit of mine. It's the voice of my heart that I want to hide, but it comes out in the open. I wonder if I'm at the age where my mouth is already loose.

　Aside from that, I feel awkward because of the heavy pressure from Elinora's sister walking next to me.

''Oh, how do you like that area or something spacious?''

　To dispel the air and make up for my mistake I take the initiative to find an empty seat.

'I don't want to make any noise in there,'

　The moment Sister Elinora said that, the men's laughter rose from the seat I was pointing to.

　When I looked at them, I saw Roland and his silly friends drinking ale and giggling.

　I wouldn't mind an atmosphere like that if it was just the guys, but now that I have Alecia and Ra-chan with me, it's tough.

''Hmm, where would you like to go then?''

　A table spacious enough for the eight of us to sit at and where the people around us aren't too noisy.......

''How about........that place?　And Silvio, you're here too.

What?

　I looked at the place Luna had told me about and found one spot that was burned out and empty.

　Brother Silvio is sitting there, and Bram is lying by his side.

　You can get a general idea of the situation just by looking at it.

''What's going on with Bram?

'Well, as far as I can see, I'm in no condition to move, and there's no other seats available, so let's just be patient.

That's true.

　It's a pain in the ass to get involved with Bram, but he seems to be down and the situation is what it is.

　Me and sister Elinora nodded to each other and decided to take everyone to the table with brother Silvio.
