Vol 1 Chapter 22 (1/2)
Chapter 22
Setting off
Three days had passed since the fight with the Ice Dragon
To begin with the conclusion, the townspeople thanked me
Because we repelled such a clear danger
Apparently the militia had been wiped out
The bandits who had remained at the hideout had been routed by shi+on-san
There seei and there had been victiroup, too
A from a certain direction had been wiped out
According to one member who had been nearby and luckily escaped, it had all been done by one dark-skinned woman
Both that woone now
And while there had been da its peace
I had gone around and checked if I couldn't help people
It had been difficult, people being surprised by Heal and thanking me for it
After all I may have been a reason for this wholeaway
But apparently only the priest in the single church and I can use Heal in this town
no, I' that o too far
Ostensibly, Till said she didn't want to get involved with humans
Speaking of good news, Eleanor-san and her impertinent little brother Kal, as well as their faht
They cried e
Anyhow, the more I was thanked, the more could I feel my smile cramp
The three days passed in that fashi+on
And in the third night, I was sitting on the bed, grasping my knees
When depressed, why does that posture already make it a little better?
”haa”
”Hey, I get why you're down, but really want to know: Why are you occupying my bed?”
Right, I was being depressed in my sister's room
While sitting at her desk and writing a report for the guild, she had gotten tired ofand broached the topic
”Don't s”
”I really don't get whether you're depressed or not”
To begin with, does this time's incident have a causal relationshi+p with me?
There's no inforuesses
But speaking frouesses alone, you could say there is a causal relationshi+p
But it's also an endless like the question of the hen and the egg It feels wrong for me to be depressed over it
”Uncle and Aunty are?”
”I think Pops is still out, helping restore the town But the fires went out pretty ic, so I think they'll be done in no time”
With his hurt leg, Uncle hadn't participated in fighting the Ice Dragon and had gone help with the town's evacuation right away
In the battle with the Ice Dragon, apparently there had been no human casualties from its deflected breath
That's sorateful for
”Mo, I think I did tell her to take it slowly, though”
”Is, that so”
Over the last three days, Aunty has recovered enough to live as usual
Even if you close wounds with ic, it seems it takes time to recover the lost stamina
But then, from the level of modern medicine in my former world, it was a miracle
”——you know, thanks, Alice”
””
”But if I say so, you'll just feel doon't you,” shi+on-san laughed and teased me
”how long are you going to keep doing paperwork? Aren't you going to sleep?”
”Ohoh, is this princess displeased? Wait, you're planning to sleep in my bed?”
”Right now, I desire human warmth”
It definitely wasn't anything to feel guilty over
”Hehe, alright Let's sleep”
”Wai-, so daring!”
”Why are you getting shy all of a sudden? You're so complicated”
If I told her I said it just because, I think she'd hit me
”Understood Come at me!”
”Alice, are you really feeling down?”
shi+on-san gave me a playful punch as she caether
Lying face-up, atched the ceiling
” Onee-chan, you sood”
”Do I? I think you sh”
that e more and more, huh
”Onee-chan, do you have someone you like?”
”Hehe, you're the age where you're interesting in love? You're such a htly talks about love”
”Somehow that take really annoys me”
But shi+on-san's pretty, and refreshi+ng, and she has a good personality, and her breasts are big
Her figure is nice, and she can fight, and she's gentle
Just how a is she!?
”I've never really thought about it so far, I guess”
I'ood portion of the men in toould cry
”But lately, there's this person who I just can't get out of my mind”
”That little sister that makes so much work for you, you mean”
Even I can guess that much, yes, yes
”Hehe, maybe”
Ah, but with shi+on-san around, I really calm down
My frayed heart is also being somewhat healed by her
At the same time, reluctance to part wells up
The people in this house are family to me
shi+on-san is precious to me
Once more, I realized that
”Onee-chan, to for the capital”
” I see”
”You're not surprised”
”That's not quite true But I somehow had that hunch”
” I see”
I'd wanted to travel the world in the first place
But right now, , I want to move to a safer town than this, to a better protected town than this
I no longer think it's fine for me to die, I can't
But to stop disastrous incidents fro as much as possible, I think it's better to move to a more secure town
In the royal capital with its knight order, it should at least be more secure than here
”Do you have a plan?”
”Yes, Till's going to look after me”
To begin with, since I beca me
”That elf missy, huh”
”She's an awfully good girl”
Good girl I have no idea if that expression is fitting, but what should I do, it just fits her appearance too well
”I see it's going to get lonely”
My chest tightened
”D――,” I start, but then I s
”I've really been in your care, so I'll at least leave some money”
”I don't need it By the way, how much do you have anyway?”
”Till lent me some money, as an advance for the necessities”
”Hee, so that girl has money?”
”Yes, she gave me a platinum coin”
”Platinum!!?”
As one would expect, that made shi+on-san jump up in surprise
