Chapter 199

Parting

<hr>Allen and Elena unusually didn’t speak of “wanting to play outside” or “wanting to accept a request, and spend their time with Rebecca-san when they could .

“Allen-chan, Elena-chan, how about having tea?”

“”Yea! You know~ we made snacks~””

“Oh my, you two made them yourselves?”

“Yeah, Allen you see, I made a chocolate pudding~”

“Elena made Ichi pudding!”

And, while Rebecca-san was busy, they said that they wanted to make snacks to eat with her when she’s free, so they took the challenge of making this new snack .

“”How is it? How is it?””

“My, it’s really nice, you two . ”

“”Really!?””

Seeking the impression on the pudding they made themselves, they were truly delighted when told it was delicious .

“”Will make again~””

“My, is that fine with you? But, wasn’t it difficult making something this yummy?”

“”Is fine~””

“Then, I will have to leave it to you . ”

“”Yea!””

Such days continued, but five days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye, and the morning of Rebecca-san, Velio-san, and Amelia-san’s departure arrived .

“”… Au~””

“My, oh my, Allen-chan, Elena-chan, please don’t cry . ”

Large drops of tears were spilling from Allen and Elena’s eyes .

<hr>Although they depart on a journey themselves, this is the first time they are sending someone close to them off .

“Allen, Elena, it’s not like we are parting forever, so you have to send her off with a smile . ”

“That’s right . We will meet again, right?”

“”… Yeah . ””

They were still hesitating, but Allen and Elena stopped crying and tried to smile .

“”Obaasama~ see you again . ””

“Yes, let’s meet again . ”

“”Yea . ””

The children hugged Rebecca-san tightly and said their farewells .

“Rebecca-san, Velio-san, Amelia-san, I wish you safe travels . ”

“Thank you . I will be looking forward to meeting in Rubia again . ”

“Tak.u.mi-kun, it was fun spending time with you . Come to our fief whenever you want . ”

“We will be awaiting you . ”

I had not spent much time with Velio-san and Amelia-san, but the two are gentle people, so even now, they feel like my older siblings .

“I will collect many gifts with the children on the way . ”

“Will collect~”

“Many~”

“””……”””

For some reason, the three turned silent when they heard our remark .

“… Tak.u.mi-san? By that, you only mean… vacation souvenirs, right?”

“Ah, so he meant it like that . My~ I was getting chills thinking what kind of absurd thing Tak.u.mi-kun would bring with him . ”

Certainly, as Rebecca-san said, Allen and Elena will give them souvenirs from what they experienced on the trip the next time they meet, but I was thinking of gifts of quality, though~

… Still, just what kind of absurd gifts did you have in mind, Velio-san?

“… When are gifts considered as absurd?”

But, to speak the truth, I have no idea when gifts get considered as absurd, so I can’t help but feel that I would do it .

“From what I experienced up until now… Majesta fruit, truffle, s...o...b..low mushrooms, Orc General or Armored Buffalo are quite absurd, in my opinion . Ah, Pastel Rabbits too . Looking at it like that, Tak.u.mi’s common sense has become distinctly absurd, didn’t it~”

Here, Wald-sama pointed out for some reason .

Should I say that it’s as I expected or what… I feel somewhat annoyed that it was pointed out by Wald-sama, though .

“… Then, I will do my best to bring you Dragon meat as a gift . ”
