44-I was just curious




 
 The view of the room was blurred for a moment, then my vision changed drastically.

"Good........oops, that's not good. One of the cabbages has fallen out.

 The person in front of me sits down and places the box on the ground.

'Yes, sir. 'Cabbage.'

Oh, I'm sorry, kid, I don't know how long you've been here!

 Bartolo backs away, holding the cabbage. He is surprised, but does not let go of the ingredients. That's a professional chef.

...from the beginning.

'What a pause. Monks can be around and gone before you know it, can't they?

 Well, Bartolo, you may be pretty sharp for a guy like you.

'It's just my imagination. You see, Bartolo is so big that it's hard for me, a small man, to see him.

No, I don't, but I don't feel a thing.

''Well you can't get away from Sister Elinora without having enough walking skills to move out of sight.

You're an assassin.

 Bartolo muttered to himself. It's true that if you use this, you might be invincible as an assassin.

 You can no longer eliminate the target without anyone noticing.

''Bartolo! You haven't seen Alfried!

 Sister Elinora rushes to the food pantry. I slide myself between the edge shelf and the wall and instantly hide.

 I, I don't understand. I have no idea why Elinora sister's train of thought is the first to come to the food pantry.

''No, no, I haven't seen it, sir.

 Nice! Bartolo!

Yeah? I thought Al would be here but that's strange. I guess I'm off on a hunch.

 Something is wrong with Sister Elinora's Alfried sensing ability. It's no longer in the realm of humans. I'm sure I can't become an assassin.

I'm sure you're right. Thanks, Bartolo.

 Sister Elinora tilted her head slightly and swiftly shook her hair and moved away.

''Well that's enough, isn't it?''

Thanks, Bartolo. You've been very helpful.

'I thought it was going to be a very noisy day, but my sister was chasing me.

Yeah. So I'm going to hide in the right place.

Oh, oh. Good luck.

 As expected, I don't want to go on a rampage near the kitchen, so I decide to move away appropriately and hide myself near the maids' break room.

 Then, perhaps it's time for the maids to take a break, I can hear the voices of Meena, Mel, Saara and others coming from the corridor.

'Wow, Meena is so weird because she's been looking at her feet and laughing all the time.

'It can't be helped. It's not my fault. It's this delicious, round, holey thing that's wrong!'

'I've never seen anything like it. Is this also a candy?'

"Sarra! It's candy! My gut tells me it is!'

'You don't have to take it off and stick it in front of you. Sarra won't like that.'

"Oh, it's so easy to take off.

''No, but then again, slippers are really easy to take off, aren't they?

"I believe Master Alfried has made it.

"This food. I'm sure it's a snack Alfried hasn't shown you yet.

 Gee, Meena is sharp. I made the mistake of turning my slippers into a cute, candy-filled gala because I thought it would make her happy. I gave the ladies unnecessary information.

'Yes, yes. Come on, get in your room.'

 Mel pushes Meena's back as she snarls as she stops and walks into the break room.

 I'm sorry for eavesdropping for some reason, but I'm going to stay here since Elinora sister might know what I'm doing.

 Because my life is more important than my guilt. As expected of a different world. It's a tough place to be.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. It's a good thing that you've come up with such useful footwear and made it yourself.

''I heard you can cook and do magic. And a bit of sword.

'You have a great talent for baking, especially! As for me, I want you to stay in the mansion for the rest of your life!''

"Okay, okay, Meena, it's close. I'm close, you need to calm down.

'Earlier, Master Alfried seemed to have been pursued by Lady Elinora for some reason, didn't he?

 It's happening! Sis Elinora said.

'Oh, it's always the same here, isn't it?'

'You two were both so athletic! You seem to be quiet now, but is it over?'

"No, Elinora-sama has gone outside, so I thought it was quiet. And I haven't heard Alfried's screams either, so I'm not sure it's over yet.

 ........what is it? I'm glad to hear the information that Elinora sister went outside, but there's something about the way Saara said her guesses that I don't like.

 Anyway, since I got the information I wanted, I quietly walked away from the side of the break room.

 Assassins may not be possible for a variety of reasons, but I might be able to get a job in the intelligence field.

 On the way to the second floor, I was walking up the stairs on the first floor when Sister Elinora came back.

'Oh, Elinora sister, welcome home.

Yeah, I'm home, Al.

'........Sister Elinora!

...Al?

 Oh, my God! I called out to him, as usual. How horrible are daily habits?

 While I panicked, it was Sister Elinora who moved first.

 She instantly took off her outer shoes, put on her slippers and approached the stairs.

 d*mn, the ease of the slippers I've given her is on display without regret.

 Slippers. I have a problem with things that are entirely too good for me.

"Wait!

 A sharp stillness in the voice I've heard more times today than I can count.

 There was no way I could wait.

 I also moved my stiff body and ran upstairs.

 Then I saw Silvio-san walking down the hallway.

"Ah, Al, good point--

Come on, man, come on!

Look out!

"Whoa!

'Sylvie Oooh! Brother Silvio is down!

 When I look at brother Silvio, I see Gekota slumped in his face and he's already unconscious. He was just walking down the corridor, but what a badly paced brother he is.

''Tch! I can't believe you're avoiding Al's habit.

Can you stop talking about Al like it's a derogatory term!

 Brother Silvio, who was my only shield, is incapacitated. I can no longer do anything but leave him behind.

 What are you going to do, Alfried? Should we flee to the servants' quarters in this situation? 

 Anyway, you can't stop. If Elinora sister catches you, you can't escape the practice of love for a day.

 When you start to run single-mindedly, you feel a shock to your body as if you hit something.

''Bufu!



 That's odd. There shouldn't have been any obstacles in the hallway. And it was oddly soft. I turned my gaze forward. There was a powerful slipper, Ryuta-kun, there.



 I look up to see my dad, standing in a state of anger.

 Why does my family smile when they are angry?

 It's a bit scary.

''.........''

Elinora, wait.

 Disgusting. You've been chasing your little brother around and now you're trying to run away.

 It's a nice touch, though, isn't it?

Al, he's smiling and he's mad at you too, you know?

 You know what I'm saying? The Nord dad is putting pressure on me to do so.

 But my gaze is drawn to a place.

'Al, what's going on? Do you have something to say to me?

.........How are you feeling about wearing them, Ryuta-kun?

'........Phew! ........no, it's nothing.......

 Ah, sister Elinora laughed.

'.......................Great?

 I don't know why I asked that at this time.

 It just bothered me. Is it the nature of a maker?


 In the end, we were scolded on good terms, and from noon we had practice.

 I'm sure it's just my imagination that Elinora's training menu was the most rigorous that day.
