Back on the road, away from Logan's cabin.

　You don't have to walk because you have a transition. You may think, "Why not?" but this is a picnic for today. Walking is meaningful.

　It's a bit lonely being alone. After all, is it impossible to take Logan with you? I have a feeling that if I go back now, he'll say something like, 'You can't help it, can you?

　Come to think of it, I don't know anyone my age or friends, come to think of it. I miss this. At times like this, I would like to have friends to share a good time with. Maybe I should go visit the village more often.

　I should have brought my brother Silvio with me. If I invite him to a place with a nice view to read a book or something, he might come.


　There was no one in the vigilante's exercise plaza that I passed earlier. I wonder if that's the end of today's training.
　I passed through the square, which was also crowded today, and aimed at the mountain.

''Oh, Alfried-sama. Hello.''

Hello, sister.

Hey, I'm not that old anymore.

No, it's not.

Hello, where are you going today?

I'm going to the mountains for a bit.

Please be careful.

　We proceeded to return greetings from the people of the village.

''Ah, Onii-chan of the Seven Wonders!

'Hey!　It's not polite to point fingers.

Yes, sir.

　Huh?　What did you just say?　And I don't think pointing fingers is the only part of the scolding.
　When I turn around, my mother bows her head with a bitter smile.

　I wonder what the Seven Wonders are. Like a school ghost story?　I'd like to have a long talk with them. Oh, they're gone.

Oh, God, it's not Al. What are you doing today?

'What?　Is this your brother, Mr. Alfried, Lady Elinora's brother?

'What?　Are you sure?　Does Lady Elinora always talk to you?

　Duh! I ran into sister Elinora. And today, she was accompanied by two women who looked to be the same age as me, who I was not familiar with.

'My name is Emma. It's nice to meet you.

　The short, blue-haired girl with bluish hair, who calls herself Emma, looks at me with blue eyes at my side.

　She's a very beautiful and kind-looking sister with slender limbs. I'm sure this Emma sister will take care of me.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Alfried, the second son of the Rowlett family. My sister has always been a great help to me.

　I greet my sister Emma with a childish smile as best I can. I can't tell you how many times I've done this level of greeting in sales in Japan.
　It's said that a person's first impression is decided within the first 10 seconds.

Hi. Nice to meet you! And it is said that the brain makes an impression on a person during the exchange of greetings.

　I have to flirt with the kindest sister Emma, even if it's just a little bit. The impressions are difficult to reverse later on.

Wow. It's just like Elinora-sama's brother.

'Is this the norm in the aristocracy because this is the kind of education you get?

'That's not true, Sheila. Al's just messing around.

　For some reason, Elinora sister says coldly, in a bad mood.

　What's wrong?　Frustrated. Is today a heavy day?

'What?　Is that so?

　Another girl called Sheila, with long brown hair and curly ends, approaches us. Her hair moves fluffily as she walks. On the contrary, her heavy breasts are shaking very heavily.　

　S, amazing. I wonder how much of a man's dreams and hopes are contained in that place. The divine presence of it makes me want to hang my head, but I manage to stop myself.

　In a panic, I felt a little calmer as I looked at sister Elinora.

'Something just made me want to punch Al inexplicably now.

'What?　Why!

I don't know.

　You're still a good judge of my mind, as always. I've heard that all women are espers. It's true.

'Well, well, well. I feel sorry for you, hitting your brother or something.

　Doudou. and sister Emma, who quieted the rampaging horse.　
　She's a good person. I want you to be my real sister.　

And what are you doing today, Alfried-sama?

　Sheila asks in a soft tone to change the air. It's kind of nice weather and I'm going to be sleepy.

''I'm going to go play in the mountains today.

Ah, the mountains. Are you from the plains?

Yes, I do.

'What are you doing in there?　Are you building another weird house?　Or do you want to go fishing in the river?

　How dare you call this a funny house!　You're right, I'd be mad if you made fun of my home, right?　I've never been mad at sister Elinora.

'Picnic. We're going to eat dinner at a nice, scenic, natural place.

'It's nice! Dinner somewhere with a view!

　Something unexpectedly, Sheila came on.

I'm sure you're right. It's a nice day today, so why don't we go up there too?

　Sister Emma seemed to be in a groove.

I suppose. There's nothing going on this afternoon, so let's go.

　Huh?　Is sister Elinora coming too?

'Okay, but didn't you eat at Celia's diner?'

'We've been training all morning, and we can still eat. If we move, we'll be hungry again.

'Again, if you eat that much, you'll be as fat as you were in the winter...'

What?

....

....

.........Suddenly you want to move, don't you? Haha.

　Watch out. I almost stepped on a land mine. It's a bad habit of mine to say the wrong thing. I'd better be careful.　Emma and Sheila had such a haunted look on their faces.

"So, what happened to your lunch...

You don't have Al. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have Bartolo cook for all four of us now.

I'm glad. Bartolo's food is delicious.

Fluffy....

　Wow, maybe it's because I have a friend, but Elinora said it very kindly. Normally she would have me do the work for her and say, 'Why don't you ask Bartolo to make it for you, or you can have Al make it for you? Or you can make it yourself. Can you two come to my house already?　Now you can get a rumba and brother Silvio as a set. Sheila likes to eat, doesn't she?　And now it comes with Bartolo!

So, let's go to the house.

Yes!

　Thus, the four of us headed to the mansion.

　By the way, speaking of Roomba, lately he's loving my room, which is cooled by my ice magic, and he's enjoying it as if he's in a summer resort. Well, he's a fun guy to watch, and that's okay.

　I played chess with Rumba the other day and I won, so as a punishment game, I got a 'rabbit jump around the courtyard! I said. He put his hands on top of his head and bounced around adorably, bouncing around. I laughed so hard because he was so huge and did that adorably.

　When he came back, I said, 'Why did you laugh?　Was it that funny? When he asked me if I could teach him the real rabbit jump, Roomba turned red in the face. Apparently, he had done this in the royal capital as well. He was taught by his master, the guild master, after all.

　He's quite an idiot, but it seems he's also helping with the village's heavy lifting and building a new house, so I hope he's still here in the village.

　I went back to the villa and asked Bartolo to make a lunch for me right away. He complained, "You're still needed," but it was so cool to see him quickly make a lunch for four people. What's that?　Is Bartolo a tsun?

　I quickly got ready for the old man around me, eerily aware that he was suddenly becoming a tsundere, and I quickly got ready to go.
