N, n~…… I slept well……
Saa, let"s get up and prepare the breakfast…… which reminds me, what time is it now?
Yokkoisho…… ah…… I, I feel giddy……
Guu…… I"m hungry……
When I raise the curtain and look outside, someone was already there.
「Good morning? tte, what time is it now?」
Ivar was right behind the curtain.
「Baachan. Awake?」
「Yes. I became hungry. Could you help me get down the carriage?」
Ivar prepares the stairs. That helps. It"s slightly harder to get down than usual. I"m also being seen……
「Baachan. Unreasonable not allowed」
「I"m not being unreasonable. I feel thirsty, and my stomach is empty」
「Umm, I will now make a meal?」
「…… That seems like quite unreasonable……」
Iris glares at me.
「Ah…… I forgot to bring the sugar. Iris, can you bring sugar and salt from the carriage?」
「Cooking is still unreasonable. Please, lie down」
「But, I"m hungry…… I feel thirsty……」
Haa…… Iris lets out a deep sigh.
「Is it just the sugar and salt? What else?」
「If some hard bread or biscuits are left……」
「Please, sit down, okay? Ivar, watch over her」
「Un. Baachan, sit?」
「Yes, yes. I won"t do anything. Ah, Ivar, bring a cup, please. Also, a kettle」
「Un. Sit down」
Ivar and Iris are both overprotective. I was just injured a little.
Ah, that"s not so. This world has many dangers, so we must be careful. I am getting nervous because I keep forgetting. I don"t think it"s only because I"m old…… I think.
Reflection, reflection……
「Water boiling. Cup, here」
「Thank you. Iris…… it"s taking her time…… ah, she got down」
「Koyu-sama, is this all right?」
「Yes」
I put a cube of brown sugar into the cup and crush it with a spoon and add a pinch of seaweed salt. I pour the boiling water into the cup and stir with a spoon to dissolve the sugar and salt.
I blow the steam away from the cup and take a sip…… fuu…… sweet……
I feel like I heard that in the elderly meeting.
Let"s think that it was inevitable that drinking one serving of cup took so long.
When drinking the cup of hot water, everyone seemed to notice me and gathered.
「Baasan, you okay?」
「I"m all right. Sorry for making you worry」
「If you are sorry, can you not act rashly next time?」
「Even though I wasn"t acting rashly……」
「Fuu…… Then, don"t do needless things」
「Needless…… that"s」
「Right? Selfishly separate from the carriage? Get injured on your own? What wasn"t needless?」
「Ah…… I"m sorry」
「Will you let us obediently protect you?」
「Yes……」
「Except Ivar, for a while?」
「Eh? Is Ivar to blame for something?」
「Rather than blame, reflection? It"s not good for that fellow to be spoiled at your side all this time」
「I spoiled him?」
「It would usually be a good thing. But not now」
「Usually? Not now?」
「He"s reflecting now, right? If he can"t think clearly now, what will happen after this?」
「After this?」
「He won"t be able to stand on his own. I think now"s a good time」
「Good time?」
「Right. He can"t move on his own. If he has to be instructed each time, he won"t be able to live」
「You are right. You won"t be by his side forever」
「If he thinks a lot and fails, what will happen after?」
「After……」
「If he would be at a loss, you would provide him an escape route, right?」
「Fufu. You are kind」
「No, it wasn"t possible before, but…… he has warmed up to you」
「Warmed up…… he"s not a dog or a cat……」
「Magic beasts don"t usually warm up to people?」
「Ivar is not a magic beast」
「Is that so? He looks like that, though」
「Mou! By the way, when will I be able to pamper him again?」
「Haa? I just told you, right? Not for a while!」
「But…… can you say that after seeing that?」
Has he been watching Shien and me talking all the while? With such sad puppy eyes. Isn"t he almost crying?
「Ah~…… I know, but…… I will properly speak to him so…… why is he so attached to you……」
Although I couldn"t make out Shien"s words, I somehow guessed…… I want to ask that. Even though he"s together with Oniichan Shien and Oneechan Iris……
Perhaps because I have fed him? No, no, no……
If so, let"s recall more delicious things. Although the seasonings isn"t enough, I will somehow manage. Above all, I also want to eat. Fufu.
