Chapter 268

Town of Rubia

“We’ve arrived!”

“”Finally~””

The next morning after enjoying the ebi dishes, we went straight to the town of Rubia .

We rode Joule and Feat’s backs until halfway, and when we got to the area where we could see the town from, I asked them to return to my shadow, and from that point we walked, arriving at the town around midday .

“Now then, I guess we should visit the Ruven mansion first?”

“”Yeah!””

“Let’s go see . ”

“Obaasama~”

After we arrived at the town, we went straight to the Ruven mansion without stopping .

“Takumi-san! Allen-chan! Elena-chan!”

As soon as we arrived, Rebecca-san came to welcome us . She had apparently arranged to be informed as soon as we arrived at the town, so she was waiting for us .

… Come to think of it, something similar had happened in Bailey .

“Welcome home! I have been waiting for you!”

“We are home, Rebecca-san . ”

“”Obaasama~ we are home~””

Rebecca-san who greeted with “Welcome home” instead of just “Welcome” not only hugged the twins but I also received a big hug myself . As expected, it was quite embarrassing for me, so I asked her to let go of me quickly and she hugged Allen and Elena again .

“Has there been any change in your condition?”

“”Is fine~! How about Obaasama?””

“I am also doing fine . Did you have fun adventuring?”

“”Yea!””

“So many . ”

“Stories to tell!”

“My, oh my, I’m looking forward to it~”

Rebecca-san is quite young for a grandmother, but their exchange was really like that of grandchildren who came to see their grandmother after a long time .

“Takumi-san, you have no plans for today, right?”

“Of course, we don’t have any . ”

“I’m glad to hear that . Then, I will have tea prepared, so I wonder if you can tell me about your adventure?”

“”Okay! Will tell~””

As she led us through a much larger mansion than the one in the capital, we arrived to the lounge .

“”You see, you see . ””

When we settled down on a comfy sofa, the children immediately started talking to Rebecca-san .

The two took turns talking about meeting the Battle Eagles, swimming in the lake we discovered, their experiences mining in the town of Kelm, about the hot springs, how we flew to the neighboring country on the backs of wyverns, and about their frolicking with gryphons .

“My, my! You have had so many adventures~”

“”Yea!””

Hearing about it again like this, we certainly did many things in short period of time, didn’t we~

“”Also, also!””

“We have!”

“Souvenirs!”

Ah, right . I forgot to give her the souvenirs .

“Oh my, souvenirs? What is it, I wonder?”

“”Fur~!””

“They are pelts for the rugs . Tyrant Bear and Bloody Wolf . The Bloody Wolf pelt has yet to be processed, but please use them in this mansion or the mansion in the capital by all means . ”

I took just the Tyrant Bear rug out of my Infinite Storage for now and showed it to Rebecca-san .

“My, oh my, these are some amazing souvenirs again~ It looks like you have realized what I told you at that time . ”

“Obaasama!”

“You remember!”

“Of course . I remember what we talked about properly . Thank you both . ”

“”Ehehe~””

Seeing that Rebecca-san was happy, Allen and Elena laughed out loud .

“”But you see~””

“Don’t have . ”
