A farht cheer echoed in the vineyard The dozen rapes let out grateful cheers and congregated They leaned against a giant oak tree, and in the shade, they guzzled the cold drinks prepared for theuys were around to help out this year When I was told to ask the ‘Millers,' I had no idea what thatin the shade shrugged their shoulders and gave an aest, a black-haired youth with sharp, indigo-colored eyes who had yet to turn 20, showed a gentle s a windmill and all We were siht There's been a lot of people like that recently”

The farave a sole face and roughly yet friendly slapped the youth's shoulder

“But, you guys are different fro went down before y'all drifted down here to Coh I don't knohat it is, that doesn't really uys, y'all do the job properly Boy, ah, Phineas, was it? You especially got a reputation for being serious and diligent in whatever you do”

The far hih since he had already predicted the next line that would come out of this man's mouth As expected, the far so in secret

“I like the way you work How 'bout it? I got two girls, so you feel like co over as my son-in-law? I'll let you choose whoever you like”

“Thank you for the offer, but I must decline”

When Fin calht and shrugged his shoulders, dejected It was customary for the people in this city to propose this offer to any youth, regardless of gender, if they do praiseworthy work There were tienerally, it was just a formality Fin was surprised at first However, after he had settled in Comillis for ain the shade beside hi

“If you were 10 years younger, then it would be impossible for you to have a carefree life”

Fin frankly pointed out, causing the people around hih Everyone there was his comrades froe proposal besides Fin, but so far, no one had accepted

After these 11 ex-military people arrived at Coo their separate ways However, it appeared that the accidental knot tying the group together was surprisingly tough

When Oandus and Fauna went out to ask asome place to stay and maybe even so beside the couple There was a young boy with a cute face and dainty features and a sirl ould look radiant if she cleaned up

The roup of people anted children like this at a high price Therefore, he feigned kindness and instructed theive them a job if they mentioned he introduced them

The man, of course, did not know that there would be 10 otherthe couple and children

The windmill and its warehouse at the tip of the cape had been occupied by a group of ruffians for a while It had been a black-roup was approaching with heavy footsteps…

In the end, this new group kicked the previous occupants out and made the windmill theirs

The townsfolk, at first, believed that this wouldn't change anything but ended up surprised when the new group repaired the windmill and actually used the mill

Oandus' honest personality immediately drew in customers With the spread of his reputation and personal connections, other jobs unexpectedly came in and were allocated to everyone Co that there was always be a need for help

Therefore, the group was collectively called ‘The Millers' and would work any ‘not-too-intensive' job Since they were allowed to take a break and rest in the shade, it could be said that this as much easier than when they were in the army corps

However, this wasn't to say that everyone was enjoying this life

After confir that the far stretch and groaned

“But how can I explain this? I can't relax with every day being this peaceful My asshole's itching Just a little while ago, ere facing off against the Beasts of Darkness and bandits Yet, the stains on our clothes are no longer frorapes and sweat”

“That's because you've been secretly sneaking food”

Plast whispered this retort, causing Varte to snap back, “No, I don't!” Fin giggled a little and surveyed the grapevines stretching out underneath this blue sky

“It certainly does feel a little weird”

Thinking the gri the feeling of guilt that they were the only ones to sneak out of that hell

But that wasn't to say that those were the only things they felt Still…

“…But, I like living like this”

Fin quietly whispered this eot fro the leaves

Their break finally ended, and the Millers went back to harvesting the grapes until the sun set and they returned home As they walked on the suburban path, they could spot the city of Cohtly north of it was an ar that, there was no need to worry about it
