Chapter 16

「Iris, nee, I say Iris. Wake up」

Half-asleep Iris is cute, isn’t she? She reminds me of my grandchild.

Absentminded Iris is yet to wake up.

It looks like she was really tired.

「Saa, eat. We are departing」

「Koyu-sama!! Ah…… 」

「You were tired, weren’t you? It can’t be helped. Rather than that, please finish your breakfast」

「I’m sorry……」

Iris becomes bright red then she immediately becomes pale blue. How busy she is.

Maa, even I would be ashamed of oversleeping. Much less Iris who I bothered the whole day yesterday. Fufu. But, teasing her is not good, right? Let’s let it pa.s.s. Un.

Iris immediately gulped down her breakfast. But, when eating tomato soup, she was staring at me with wonder. Ara, did it perhaps not suit her tastes? Even though she ate miso so deliciously yesterday. I wonder if Iris prefers j.a.panese? When I presented her the sweet brown sugar water, she drank it with delight. Did it ease her fatigue a little?

We clear the camp and prepare for the departure. Of course, we wash the empty pot clean.

Iris made it clean with magic. She said it’s the life magic. Isn’t it convenient?

Today, she will teach me magic in the carriage. I might be able to become a magician, you know? Fufu.

After we finish tidying up, we start the second day.

「Koyu-sama. I apologize for this morning」

「Ara, you don’t have to mind it. You must have been tired, right?」

「You have even prepared me a breakfast」

「Mou. I told you that you don’t have to worry about it? You must have had it hard after your head was. .h.i.t. You have tried to keep it in all this time, right? I can make something like a meal as well」

「No, Koyu-sama is our employer. In truth, you should be enjoying the travel in the carriage……」

「Mou!! Iris is too stubborn. I had fun making the breakfast, isn’t that alright? Well, I somehow understand that I lack common sense from around here, but. Please endure it because I’m enjoying myself」

「Leave it at that~ You two」

「A, ara」

「I’m sorry」

「What Baasan said is true, but please try to understand Iris’s standpoint. You make her quite concerned about you」

「Concerned?」

「Well, yeah. You are unreasonably dangerous? Eccentric? You posses quite a lot of money. You got me really exhausted on the shopping day」

「Ara…… I have no excuse……」

「Therefore, you see. Wouldn’t it be alright to speak to each other a little bit more?」
