I Don't Want to Be a Heroic Soul

flame.

Swaying, leaping, warm flames.

Just watching it move can make you calm down.

Just looking at it shining can make you fall into a trance

"Meow~~"

"……Ah, Coco...I am……？"

On the table, a girl opened her hazy eyes, and her soft gray hair was flowing like water on the wood-grained desk.

After being awakened by the sound of the kitten, Jasmine realized that she had fallen asleep lying on the table.

"I am... Oh, by the way, I remember I was reading a book last night……"

Jasmine likes reading books because she can learn a lot of things that she doesn’t come into contact with in daily life.

Especially the history books and fairy tales of various countries are Jasmine’s favorite

"Meow~~meow~~"

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare something to eat for you right now."

Rubbing her eyes vigorously, Jasmine jumped down from the chair and picked up the kitten Coco on the ground.

"Coco, have you gained weight?"

"Meow~！"

Coco suddenly became a little excited, raised her chubby cat paw and slapped Jasmine on the face.

The curtains were suddenly opened, and the dim room was suddenly occupied by the sunlight that entered recklessly. These brutal invaders would not let go of even a small corner, and any place that was not blocked was theirs. territory.

This is the study room, located on the second floor of the house.

There is a very thick book on the desk, which records the story of the knight king in Celtic mythology, King Arthur. It is a series that Jasmine likes very much. Besides the book, there is a candle on the desk, but it has already been burned out.

There is a thick blanket on the floor, so even if you jump off the chair, you won't feel much pain. Sometimes Jasmine will not sit at the desk and read. When she is enjoying herself, she will just lie down on the blanket and read.

Earlier, she actually lay directly on the ground. Later, Sister Bavanshi saw that the floor was too cold to lie on, so she bought a blanket and spread it on the ground instead of directly preventing her from lying on the ground.

"It is very common for young children to like to lie on the floor."

That's what my sister said, but if possible, I really hope that my sister can stop treating me like a child."

Jasmine, who was walking down the second floor with the kitten Coco in her arms, suddenly pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Sister Bavanshi, haven’t you come back yet?"

A few days ago, Sister Bawanxi suddenly told her that she wanted to go out for a few days.

She is used to it. When she was short of money in the past, her sister would always go out to do tasks and get bounties. Now she is not as short of money as before. Sister She has more free time, and she spends more time with her sister.

Her sister is responsible for going out to make money, and she needs to take care of everything at home and create a warm enough environment to welcome her sister back. The sister who was busy outside could fully relax as soon as she got home.

She poured some cat food for Coco, but Jasmine deliberately poured a little less, otherwise she was worried that one day Coco would be too fat to walk.

"There isn't enough in the refrigerator."

Ingredients must be prepared in advance. Once my sister wants to eat something, she can prepare it immediately.

So Jasmine took the change, took the keys, left Coco alone...a kitten looked after the house, and went out to do shopping. Got it

"I am leaving."

You don't need to go far, you don't even need to take the bus. There is a small vegetable market street nearby.

The people there are all very nice uncles and aunties, and the things they sell are of high quality and low price. Jasmine often buys here. As soon as I went back and forth, I became familiar with the people here.

The uncles and aunts also liked this little girl who was easily shy. She made her feel much younger when she occasionally chatted about family matters.

"Little Jasmine, here we go again."

From a distance, Jasmine's petite figure was seen by several busy people. After all, other than Jasmine, no one so small would be willing to come to such a boring place.

"Grandma Endo, how are you doing? Do you need me to help you?"

"Oops, these are all old habits. It doesn’t matter. Does Jasmine come alone today?"

"Well, my sister seems to be busy again these days, and I obviously want to share some of her burdens with her.……"

"Haha, Jasmine is such a sensible and good child, but it is enough if you have this heart."

Grandma Endo smiled kindly, raised her hand and touched Jasmine's head.

"Grandma Endo, that……"Jasmine's little face with a bit of baby fat turned bright red,"My sister liked the cooking you taught me last time, grandma, so...can I learn from you again?""

"Of course, if Jasmine wants to learn, grandma can teach you everything."

Jasmine finally helped Grandma Endo do some work. Although Jasmine is petite, she can use magic to strengthen her body, otherwise she would not be able to go out to buy groceries alone.

Grandma Endo had no way to refuse Jasmine's help. So she later gave Jasmine a bag of strawberries and apples

"Take it, you deserve it."

It seems that the apples at home are almost gone, and Jasmine's personality is not good at dealing with other people's enthusiasm, so she finally accepted them while thanking her.

"The fish seller Nagano seems to have brought in a batch of fish a few days ago. Little Jasmine can go there and have a look. With the temperament of the old man, he will definitely leave you a few that you often buy."

"Um! Then I'll leave first. Grandma Endo also needs to take care of herself."

After waving goodbye, Jasmine turned around and left with a smile brighter than the sun in the sky.

It was such a bright smile that Grandma Endo couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"He's really a good boy."

Soon after, Jasmine was standing in the middle of the street carrying several bags.

"I also bought fish, vegetables and fruits, and there is still some rice and soy sauce left at home.……"

After thinking for a moment, Jasmine decided to buy some more chicken and shrimp.

Before, Bavanshi suddenly wanted to eat some fried food, and the first thing she thought of when talking about fried food was KFC and McDonald's.

"How can Sister Bavanshi go to eat in a shop outside? And since you can’t see the cooking process, who knows if the finished product is clean? And...and...I can also make fried food! Sister only needs to eat the food I cook!"

This is all for my sister's health, that's right!

After shopping, she returned home non-stop. The first thing Jasmine did after entering the house was to look for Coco

"Coco is great, she didn’t make a mess at home."

"Meow~~"

Coco replied listlessly, as if asking,"What image do I have in your mind?"

Sister Bavanshi is not here, so Jasmine only has to cook the amount for herself.

If you are used to being poor, even if you become rich later, you will still show the same frugality as before in some small details in your life.

Cooking, washing dishes, feeding the cat, washing clothes, drying, and cleaning, a fulfilling day passed like this.

Jasmine returned to the study room again, and used the bookmark she left to connect to the place she was looking at before. The warm light stretched Jasmine's shadow very long, making the room not look so deserted, but warm and cozy. meaning

"Jasmine...Jasmine……"

Jasmine felt like she was being held on her shoulders and rocked gently, feeling at ease, as if she was lying in a cradle and being soothed to sleep.

"Jasmine...Jasmine...why did you fall asleep here again?"

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Jasmine's golden eyes gradually focused, and then she could clearly see the figure next to her.

"Bavanshi...sister?"

"Why don't you go to bed? What should I do if I catch a cold?"

Bavanshi frowned and stared at her accusingly, but then let out a helpless sigh.

Jasmine felt a hand pass under her leg and hug her whole body.

Just like in a dream, there is a faint fragrance lingering in the nose, the whole person rises slowly, then falls gently, and is embraced by happiness.

"Have sweet dreams, Jasmine."

Bawansi stretched out her slender fingers to tease Jasmine's hair, then leaned down and kissed her on the forehead like a dragonfly.

"Thank you for your hard work for our common home."
