Chapter 55 (1/2)

Fuu. The tea was lovely.

Comfortably carefree…… right, I want to aim for such life!

Well, shall we return to the room for now?

I’d like to use the hot water. I speak to the landlady……

Ara, she will bring it to me. Well then, I will prepare and wait.

Kon, kon, kon……

The sound of knocking on the door…… it’s three times even over here, huh? Fuun…… similar things that are not similar, similar things, there are various things, aren’t there? I should remember it. Because I’m ignorant of this world’s common sense.

「Yes, enter」

Iris opens the door, and two boys were standing there. Ara, are they this place’s children?

「We have brought the hot water」

「It must have been heavy, right? Thank you」

「「Yes」」

Fufu. It seems it was heavy.

「Are you this place’s children? How old are you?」

「Un. I turned eight years old. Little brother is five」

Then, wasn’t it considerably heavy?

They have brought plenty of hot water in a wooden bucket? Slightly deeper tub?

「Are you helping your parents? How admirable」

「Uun. Not helping, but working」

「Maa, is that so! You must be working all the time then」

「We also go to the field」

「I just saw it a little while ago. It’s a very abundant field」

「We work a lot and eat a lot」

「That’s right, isn’t it? You can eat lots because you work diligently, right?」

「That’s right~」

Even little children like these can’t eat if they don’t work, huh.

But, that field should have a rich harvest. I don’t think it would get consumed only by the villagers……

Let’s ask later.

After the children left the room, I used hot water after a long time. I wiped my body with the face towel I had in the carry-on. Warm water is a happy occasion. Iris has wiped my back. The place I couldn’t reach is also feeling refreshed. Fuu. A lot for me, rest for Iris.

「Iris you wipe too, okay? Look, there’s one more towel」

「W, what are you……」

「I mean, it feels good, you know? Iris is a woman too, so wipe yourself when an opportunity arises」
