Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

On my way back to our tent, I saw a wagon and several cavalrymen leaving. Perhaps they were returning ahead of us, as harbinger of the things this time.

That night, I could see the excitement here and there. There are various people who dance and sing near the bonfire. They didn’t seem to have brought any alcohol so they were all sober despite the excitement. However, the joy of victory must have been enough to intoxicate them.

I’m now eating dinner with Oyasan, Matis and the rest of the supply team while watching all this. We ate it as late lunch but it was supposed to be our dinner if the monsters didn’t get eradicated today. Since all that was left was for us to return home, they both served lunch and dinner.

The number of jobs for Oyasan and the others has increased but Oyasan said,

“Well, it doesn’t change whether we make it once or twice.”

He laughed as he said that but I don’t think it’s really the case.

It’s already late, so Miss Frederica, who also finished her paperwork for today, is eating with me. I don’t know why but she’s sitting next to me, just like a puppy who has grown attached to me. If Diana sees her like this, she’s going to hit me on the shoulder repeatedly and say that I should take her home. Our conversation naturally focused on today’s victory and I was asked a lot of questions, mainly by Oyasan and the younger guys. Of course, I didn’t tell them who defeated the hobgoblin in the end.

“Then, Eizou should make a lot of money.”

Oyasan spoke.

“Not really”

“Really? Well, I hope Eizou is satisfied with it.”

“Thank you, Oyasan”

“Ou”

Oyasan is unusually shy. The two younger guys teased him which ended them being yelled at resulting for us to have a great laugh.

The next morning,

After I finished tidying up, I then headed to the wagon. Liddy-san was already waiting there.

“Good morning, Liddy-san”

“Good morning”

When I greeted her, she replied in a soft voice. I tried to help her in bringing up her luggage but as I looked at her, I found that she had only one bag on her back and nothing else.

“Oh, you don’t have much luggage huh.”

“Yes. We don’t have that much stuff to begin with.”

Is that so? I wonder if there is a decrease in attachment to things when one’s lifespan is long. She may end up having no possessions at all in this case.

“Ah! By the way…”

Liddy-san makes a slightly panicked voice.

“For that matter, the one that moved to another village will do it, so don’t worry about it.”

Is what she said. I wonder what that matter is though. ……Ah-.

“Are you talking about the crop seeds?”

“Yes. It was supposed to be delivered to Camilo-san’s place.”

“Given such circumstances, it would have been fine. You didn’t have to worry about it.”

“No, I can’t do that.”

When she first came to my house, she must have been already half certain that they would leave the village so she took the request into consideration.

At first, it was not that Liddy-san will go to our house, but maybe, even if it’s far away, Liddy-san plans to go to Camilo’s place. Considering this, the condition may have been a mistake. In the future, when I make similar conditions, I’ll first ask how far the other party’s residential area from the city is.

After me and Liddy-san, Matis came, then Miss Frederica, and finally the guys who had cleaned up the kitchen came in a flurry and boarded the wagon. As soon as Miss Frederica got in, she laid the cushion I had given her under her butt. She still had it huh.

“Iya-, Elf are really beautiful huh.”

Oyasan gave his impressions straightforwardly. It’s a content that can be called sexual harassment in the previous world so I’m anxious deep inside.

“Oh, I see. Indeed, if you have such a beautiful wife, you’ll have to make a lot of money at least!”

He said that with a laugh. At that moment, I found Miss Frederica turning her head like a broken tin doll and she start to stare at me. I’m a little scared, so please don’t do this!

“No, she’s not my wife or anything. Besides, it’s a pity for her to accompany an old man who seems to be living in seclusion for some reason, right?”

I frowned and denied it. Even if I hear that it won’t have a big impact, I’m still an irregular in this world. I still can’t think of myself having a family. It’s hard to say this as my reason because no one will understand it.

When I said that, Miss Frederica looked away, and at the same time, Liddy-san began to stare at me. What the heck is going on today…?

Other than this story, there was no particular topic that made me anxious.

If you consider the two points, “the elf village suffered a damaged” and “thus along with that, Liddy-san moved places so it wasn’t a marriage or anything”, you could imagine what happened. Not so many people would run into such a minefield then.

In this way, during the three days of the return trip, although Oyasan occasionally showed his lack of delicacy, the atmosphere was not particularly awkward and the wagon went safely to the capital.
