Chapter 47 (2/2)

「Don't tell me, it's Otou-san?!」

「That's probably right. He stopped doing it since Laura was born, but Otou-san, you know, when he gets angry or feels down, he would hide in the forests or mountains and vent it out to the trees nearby. No matter how thick a tree it is, he would cut it with one slash」

「Eh, but, the trees, its wasteful」

Laura was not impressed to the random environmental destruction.

「That part is alright. After he gets calm later on, he would sell the logs properly. We had great profits when we were skill rookie adventurers」

「Hee〜……Otou-san did something like that」

Laura found out an unexpected face of her own father, and felt a little complicated.

However, thinking about it carefully, she does not know anything about her parents before she was born.

Of course, they are famous as adventurers so she could easily find out about their adventures.

There were also times when Bruno bragged about it.

That is why, Laura have only seen the light side of how her own parents were great adventurers.

However, she found out the episode that the reason why her father Bruno hates magic was unexpectedly childish, and how he vents off to the trees, she found out pathetic things about him.

However, even so, Laura skill loves her father very much.

「Earning from logs……what a great idea」

Anna nodded in amazement.

「Ahh, but. The forests near the towns are the Lord-sama's forest, so you'd get scolded if you cut them without permission you know. It should be deep in the forest. We are very friendly with the Lord-sama here so it's fine though」

「……that sound not worth it」

「That's true. If you're thinking only about the profits, I think that it is better to just hunt monsters」

Hearing that, Anna dropped her shoulders.

Seeing that, Charlotte and Laura whispered secretly to each other.

「……is Annsan troubled with money after all?」

「U〜n, that seems to so. But, it's hard to ask her in person」

Leaving aside if one would live a camping lifestyle, one needs money to live in a town.

Even the 9-year-old Laura knows that money is very important.

Being poor is a very difficult thing. Well at least, it is not something to brag about.

That is why, it is hard to ask “Are you poor?”.

「Ne〜, everyone. Come over here」

Called by Dora, Laura, Charlotte and Anna went to her side.

There were trees cut down here and there.

However, it was not only one or two.

There are ten or more.

It was as if they were cut down in a straight line as if to open a path.

「Otou-san, it looks like he is further ahead」

「If I ask him to make me a disciple, will Bruno-san let me be a disciple?」

「Who knows? Shouldn't Annchan show him her talents there?」

「……I got it. I'll do my best」

Anna made a fist.

However, being told to show her own talents, she was clueless about what to do exactly.

It is not like, she needs to slash towards him suddenly.

No, if it is against Bruno, that kind of way that is easy to tell might be effective.

Anna's sword, her swordsmans.h.i.+p is straightforward.

If Bruno sees that, he might get worked up from feeling down.

(re? Okasan, did she bring Annsan for that?)

Laura felt that, she found out a little about what being husband and wife is.
