Chapter 22 (1/2)

This ti。

「That's why I, Aisha, becaards for the future！！」

Aisha said so soon after arriving home。

「Wha~！？」

Haruto is confused by not understanding thefor the moment。

「Haruto-san！！What do you mean！！」

Roa yells with a crying face。

「No、I don't knohat's going on……」

「Did you cheat on me！！That's why you want to throw me away！！I hate it。Don't throw me away！！」

Roa hugs Haruto while crying。For the ti Roa's head。

「What does it mean？I don't understand。It's not funny if it's a joke」

「No、it's not a joke。Grandpa told etsoap and Haruto」

「Will my will not be respected？」

As Haruto speak、Aisha answered。

「If you say you want out then I can only go out、but it's inevitable that your relationshi+p with randfather orsen？Besides, if I were refused by Haruto, there would be no one ill receive me」

「Didn't you run away because you don't want to get married？」

This is putting the cart before the horse。

「If it's someone I don't like、I just hate to marry someone whom I haven't seen the face、it does not et ht？」

Aisha is a beautiful girl。He does not feel bad when a beautiful girl told him that she likes him。Just that it's another story。

「I certainly don't dislike you。I may even like you。But I have Roa？」

Looking down belatedly at Roa who is still crying。He can't abandon her。

「N~(Hood idea？」

Telling hi to say that there is Roa, so it's i。

「You don't want to marry me？」

「That's right。So let’s get married」

「Nn？」

「Nn？」

Their talks do not ht、and Haruto asked Aisha。

「Do the desert people allow polygamy？」

「Polygamy？What's that?」

「Having multiple wives」

When Haruto explained、Aisha tilted her neck。

「It's a regular thing that is forgiven」

Haruto held his head。He guessed that this is probably cultural difference。Haruto notes that Claris does not allow bigamy。

「Eh (Huh)？What's up with that。Strange。So the rich and the poor only have one wife？Then the wealth cannot be redistributed。What about the ho lost her husband？」

According to Aisha's story, it seems to be common sense for many men in the desert people who have a lot of money to marry a lot of wives Instead, for a poor woman, the rich man has to support that wo birth to a lot of children, her education You can also prevent the wealth fro it to many It seems like an excellent system to him But here is Claris。

「Unfortunately, Claris has banned polygamy」

When Haruto says so、Aisha answers after a little worrying。

「Then Roa is your wife、how about iving birth is not a problem since they're a couple。That's the solution」

「Such a way！！It's the opposite。Being a mistress is unhealthy！！」

Roa raised her face、raising a rough voice。

「That's right。I never intended to make you a mistress……」

The moment Haruto tried to synchronize with Roa、Aisha pressed her body against Haruto。With her chest hitting Haruto's arm、Haruto involuntarily stopped his words。

「No problem。I'll take care of that。Besides, with Roa, aren’t you also not officially engage with Haruto？And see、love is not in quantity」

Roa glares at Aisha while grinding her teeth。

「That's why it's okay。Haruto」

「Eh？Ma~(well)、best regards……」

「Please don't push that way against Haruto-san！！」

Roa shouted in a loud voice。

「Roa、I have a gift for you」

When Haruto says so、Roa stares at Haruto's face。

「I' to fall for that」

「Well, I don't need this ruby necklace」

Haruto took out the ruby necklace fro it in front of Roa's eyes。

「I, I do！！」

Roa said so and raised her neck a little bit。

「Please put it on me」

Haruto puts the ruby necklace on Roa's neck。Roa happily stroked the ruby attached to the necklace。Then 。The necklace shakes at Roa's movement。Roa looks at Haruto's face。

「How is it？Does it suits me？」

「Ah (Oh)、you look nice」

When Haruto says so, Roa fiddled with the necklace again。

「By the here did you get this？」

「The Patriarch gave this toAisha。Your eyes and hair are like ruby。I thought that it'll look good」

「Is that so。It can't be helped。I will forgive you for today」

Roa said so while happily going outside。She dreater fro to see her own appearance。

「It's a choroin」

(T/N: CHOROIN = A heroine who seeet at first but is actually easy)

「Totally」

Haruto and Aisha were amazed。

「By the way, it's almost January、which means it'll be New Year」

Re the necklace、the now calm Roa said that。

「It certainly is now that you say it。Many things have happened」

Haruto had a distant eye。When he thought of it, things happened in the blink of an eye。He was thinking of the sao。

「How do you spend the first day？Ina delicioustime with your family」This is how Haruto spends his New Year。Not all japanese spend it sleeping。

「So it's like that around here。I will eat delicious food with my family。It's like a feast。It was on the day before the New Year……in other words, there is a festival on the last day of the year。One year、to appreciate being alive and healthy」

Haruto turns to Aisha。Aisha said with a laugh。

「It’s the same in the desert」

It seems that it's normal to spend one day with your family in any country。

「Me、I don't have a family so what should I do？」

「It's a coincidence、I don't have it either」

「Why arean air like you're in a funeral？Shouldn't it be a fun story right now？」

Aisha screams in a loud voice to disperse the heavy air。Haruto and Roa apologize to Aisha for the heavy air。Haruto will take care and listen to Roa。

「By the hat is a festival？」

「You're right。Street stalls will line up。Basically, you spend your ti」

After saying so、Roa makes a dark face。

「Ma~, it’s a story that had nothing to do withfro to e as me, ore fashi+onable clothes, and her whole faht fro hard bread alone It's not such a fun ie……」

The air freezes again Roa start speaking in a panic。

「But、it's a story of the past！I aotforward to it！！」

「I-I see。It's fine。Because you have us this year！！」

「That's right。Aren't we like family！！」

Three people are forced to raise the tension。

「So, are there other customs？」

「Now that you mention it……I will decorate。I will make a decoration out of a bundle of wheat straw。It seems to call to God。Please leave this to ht me」

Thatthat。Haruto raises his voice before the air freezes again。

「Alright、I' you to decorate The production of soap is also closed, so let's give the children so forward to it！！」

Haruto say so while laughing, Roa is also lured in and laughed。

「Uhe the story, but I wonder？」

Aisha has an apologetic face, raising her hand。

「So, am I set to be Haruto's ether withto live on an inn somewhere Because I don't have a job……I wonder if you'll hire me officially?」

Roa and Haruto look at each other Aisha orking unpaid up to now But it would be awful after this。

「I understand I'll hire you as a mercenary, and a laborer It's the saainst enemies once they co？」

Haruto proposes employment conditions, and Aisha nodded easily The work that Aisha did while carrying the barrels are equal to the work done by 10 slaves, so Haruto thought that giving a higher salary than Pudding's would be fine if he was asked for a raise After all, Aisha's naive。

「Haruto, you're grinning。What's wrong？」

「No、it's nothing。」

Haruto lied。

_________

「It looks like a shi+menawa isn't it！！」

(T/N: shi+the New Year holidays It makes a boundary between this side and the other side where the Gods live, and hanging it on the doorout the evil)

Haruto shouted involuntarily。

It was a shi+menawa。Some detail are different, but the basic structure is the same as a shi+menawa。The difference is whether the straw is rice or wheat。

「Eh？So you do know it。It's a shi+menawa」

Moreover, the name seems to be the same。

「Did this came from the Empire's first Emperor？」

「It has been said so。It originated from the empire。With the expansion of the eion」

The first e Almus I is an inventor。A number of inventions est country。Even Haruto knows soic, and even secret medicine, and others

(T/N: For those who don't know, Al Chronicles It's from the same author)

（I guess if it's a shi+menawa it should be black……）

Al to think that he's froht have even transferred here the same way as Haruto。It's possible that he is a reincarnated person

（There rators aside from me）

Haruto rators that cao home。

Thinking that far, Haruto shook his head。There is no tio back ho ho。

（Although it's inconvenient, it's more fun here）

Since trans in love, and beco a diplomat recently。There is a motivation here that is not in japan。

「Haruto-san！！Incidentally, I triedthis」

Roa called out to hiht to Roa。

Roa had a big white bread。The bread is flat, and there are two stacks of it with citrus fruit on top。

「It's a Kagami bread」

Haruto seeami cake。But because there is no rice cake, they substituted it hite bread。The developer's anguish comes to mind。

(T/N: Kagami Cake (lit translation: Mirror Rice Cake) = It is often said that its shape resembles a bronze mirror which was considered a treasure by the ancient japanese It is believed that by double-decking such noble itee on top is called dai-dai, and it is supposed to give hope and prosperity to the following descendants)

(T/N: I feel so wrong at posting this when it's not New Year)

「But there is no such thing as Kagae? Don't you feel that there should be more？」

Haruto thinks about the name, they are hard to na up with a naami bread。

「Is that so？Isn't it normal？」

On the other hand, Roa doesn't feel uncoin, he feels uncomfortable But this is normal for Roa and the others。

「Well、alright。I also have some free time to become familiar with it」

Haruto gave a bitter smile。

「I think that bed is good though？」

Roa points to the bed, which is at a discount。

「The price is good but……it should be a little bigger。Haruto may also sleep in it」

「Wha、What are you saying！！」

Roa shouted loudly。The surrounding clerks' eyes landed on Roa Roa shrunk her body。

Aisha's new house was bought early on, but there is no furniture。Of course, people cannot live a cultured life without furniture。The personal belongings of Aisha is left in the desert, so she had no choice but to buy。

「Generally, an un on the same bed, aren't you ashamed？What！You mistress！！」

「Even if it's not recognized as a istry, in the culture of the desert people, they’re ether in a desert, they're a couple once they made a child」

Roa blushed at the words child 。It reminds her of the 『how a baby is made』 incident。

「You guys, be a littleout loud！！」

When Haruto reminded them、Aisha is somewhat proud。

「Because Roa」

「It's Aisha who first said it！！」

Haruto wanted to stop the troubleso at furniture。Because it's the end of the year, ht some furniture、it was somehow a pity。

「Then how about this？The price is also okay」

「Isn't it good？Ma~、Haruto-san will not come to Aisha's place forever」

It seems to be decided。

「Haruto、letan advance on my salary」

Haruto bitterly sold coins and silver coins one by one。
