Chapter 5 (1/2)

Chapter 5: Trade with Water

Sylvia and I got married.

Both of us are 6-year olds, but in between world’s wealthy people, that wasn’t relevant. The law that says 「Marriage starts from ** years old」 doesn’t exist, and even as a child, when the parents agreed then it goes through normally.

Political marriage between n.o.bility, things like that happens even if they’re babies.

Putting a magic ring to Sylvia and making a vow in front of G.o.d, we did a simple wedding.

By the way, the reason why the magic ring is called a magic ring, is because when someone have an affair it would be immediately shattered to pieces.

Well, it isn’t relevant to the 6-year old Sylvia.

And, Sylvia and I started to live in the same room.

Not only sleeping for one night, we started to live together in my room everyday.

Marrying, and living in the same room. It’s not like something will change immediately.

Sylvia is 6-years old. My body is also 6-years old.

Holding hands while sleeping together, is the most of the physical contact we have.

……It was surprising though, being able to have a deep sleep just by holding hands.

The next day, I was reading Grimoire manga at the yard.

With Ojii-san’s permission, I was able to take out the books freely and read it.

And beside me, Sylvia was taking a peek at it.

Peeking, and looks at it intently.

I was curious so I asked.

「Can Sylvia read this?」

「*Uu〜n*」

She shook her head.

「It’s very hart」

「You can’t read it at all?」

「Yup, can’t read」

This time she nodded. But her sight was still pinned to the Grimoire.

I see, she couldn’t read it after all. Maybe it was hard to read for old people, but it was a child then they could read it. I thought that was kind of pattern, but it looks like I was wrong.

As I’ve thought, people of the other world can’t read manga huh, normally.

「Can Lucio-sama read?」

「I can read. It was surprisingly interesting, this Grimoire」

「Is it fun?」

Sylvia opened her eyes widely.

She couldn’t read so she was surprised. But if you can read it you can tell. The manga here, there are a lot or surreal developments, but they are those that was interesting in that way.

That’s why I could read it without getting tired of it everyday.

I wiped my sweat with the back of my hand, and turned the page.

It has become hot.

Suddenly, cool wind was blowing.

If I look to my side, Sylvia was fanning me. *PataPata*

「Thanks」

When I said it, Sylvia was happy.

Being fanned *PataPata*, I continued to read the Grimoire.

After a while, a wagon came. It went inside the mansion’s yard.

On the loading platform of the wagon, a few huge wooden barrels are loaded.

「I wonder what that is」

「I don’t know」

When I was staring at it, the maid Amanda came out from the mansion.

She approached the wagon, paid money to the middle-aged man who was handling it, and asked to unload the barrels.

I approached, and asked.

「Amanda, what’s that?」

「Obo-chama. This is water」

「Water?」

「Yes, it is water for drinking. This area’s water are not very clean, and even if we boil it, it cannot be used for drinking and cooking. Even drinking a little will immediately cause stomach pain. That is why, like this, we are ordering water for drinking from the area that has clean source of water」

「Was that so? Isn’t it troublesome?」
