Chapter 42
After having a delicious lunch, we enjoy a leisurely time in the living room .
Eleonora-neesan and I sit facing each other with a big table between us .
But, Eleonora-neesan is restless when she saw my feet from time to time .
「Nee, what is that thing Al wear on your feet? That’s not shoes right?」
「It’s not . It’s just a slipper」
「Slipper?」
In this world, there is no practice of wearing slippers at home . In the first place, slippers doesn’t exist . Normally, people wear shoes indoor . There are shoes for going outside and shoes when you’re spending your time at home, but it’s really troublesome . Since I was born in Japan, I feel that it’s fine if I wear socks or just went barefoot at home . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
So I mostly wear socks in the mansion to walk around, but in this season, my feet get cold .
That’s why I made my own slipper and wear it .
Incidentally, this slipper is eco-friendly since I made it with used cloth . And there is no problem with the cushion as it’s very comfortable .
「It’s very easy to put on, and easy to take off . 」
「Heeー, lend for a moment . 」
It came out! This line . It’s a typical pattern where someone took a liking to it and it won’t be returned, or being returned in a few days but looks like a tattered piece of rags .
When I hesitate, Eleonora-neesan shows her displeasure .
「What is it? It’s not difficult to take it off right?」
「Yes yes . 」
I swung my foot and the slippers flew to Eleonora-neesan’s feet in front of me . I thought that she will be angry with the crude way I pass the slippers to her direction, but what came out is a voice of amazement . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
「……heeー, it’s really easy to take off isn’t it . 」
She pick up the slippers on her feet and stare at it .
「Well . 」
「Eh? Somehow it’s different from what Mother wear earlier . 」
With a question mark floating on her head, Eleonora-neesan observes the slippers from various angle .
Unfortunately, the raw material is insufficient, I can’t make four of this kind of slippers . Aside from the lack of material, it’s cause I’m also got bored . It’s absolutely in no way because I’m inclined to the latter . After all, I’ll be sad if they returned it to me cause they dislike it . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
Before I know it, Eleonora-neesan is already with Elna-kaasan, who is relaxing on the couch .
「Aa, Mother also wear it!」
「Yes, Al gave it to me . It doesn’t need to tightened like shoes, and it’s easy to take it off anytime, and wear it immediately . And it’s prettier than shoes . 」
「Al! This slipper, it’s even more cute than the one before!」
Eleonora-neesan look back vigorously and shout with a smile .
「That slipper is the frog Gekota-kun . 」(ゲコ太君)
Gekota-kun . Alfried’s masterpiece using luxurious green cloth . So as to not make the whole thing look monotonous, the place where you put your feet is made using pea-green colored cloth, and the part for the instep has round and cute eyes attached to it .
「Gekota-kun!? Then what about this one?」
「It’s the piglet, Tonkichi . 」(トン吉)
Tonkichi . Using plenty of light-pink colored cloth, it expresses the cuteness of a little piglet even though it’s a slipper, a masterpiece from the master craftsman Alfried .
A small round tail is attached to the heel, will not in any way get in the way of one’s walks . The instep has adorable ears, little eyes, and the mouth is drawn using black thread . Especially the characteristic of a big, pink nose attached in the middle . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
「Heeー、what a great Tonkichi!」
My finest, prideful item .
Eleonora-neesan confirms the feeling of the slipper while she walks using it, and she start approaching me .
「There’s only one Gekota-kun . 」
「Mother!」
「You can’t . 」
「I haven’t said anything yet!?」
「I will not give you Gekota-kun . 」
「Kuh, as expected from you Mother . That’s where you look like Al . 」
「Really?」
Am I a guy who is utterly helpless to that extent?
Maybe they decided that words can’t get through, before I knew it, Eleonora-neesan and Elna-kaasan started fighting for Gekota on the sofa .
The big sofa creaks, but they doesn’t care about that and still screaming on top of it .
Un . This fight is actually quite unusual . Eleonora-neesan moves around nimbly on the narrow sofa, but Elna-kaasan’s defense is strong . Especially, her defense of holding the slippers to her breast is formidable . It’s a pity that splendid chest is not inherited by Eleonora-neesan . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
Irritated that she can’t break the strong defense, Eleonora-neesan’s offensive became even more intense having been provoked by her own inferiority .
「Yaaan~! Tickling is unfair . 」
「Quiet! Something like this……!!」
I feel like I heard some seductive voice just now . Please stop it since it’s kinda unsettling .
Gekota-kun has already fallen to Elna-kaasan, but Eleonora-neesan offensive doesn’t stop . It seems that they’re completely ignoring Gekota-kun already . Right now in front of my eyes, there is a person that keep venting her anger . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
「……what is this?」
Sylvio-niisan enter from the door . Entering the room, one can immediately see the two people fighting .
「Just frolicking around . 」
「……o, oh . Hm? What is this?」
Sylvio-niisan notice Tonkichi at my feet after he pulls his cheek a bit . 1
「It’s a footwear called Slipper . 」
「Footwear?It’s quite different from shoes huh . Can I try wearing it?」
「Sure . 」
After answering, Sylvio-niisan take off his shoes and excitedly put his feet in the slipper .
Right after, Sylvio-niisan walk around in the room, and tapping the floor to confirm the feeling of the slipper .
「How should I put it, it’s comfortable . I can remove this immediately, and it will be quite comfortable inside the room . 」
「Do you like it?」
「Un . If it’s possible, I also want it . 」
「Actually I have already prepared a slipper for Sylvio-niisan . 」
「Really?」
With a shine on his face, Sylvio-niisan quickly came over .
「Yes, here you go . 」
「……a rabbit?」
「It’s Pyonkichi . 」
Pyonkichi . The entire thing is made of pure white cloth, giving it a sense of cleanliness . The white color reminds one of snow, and above all the ear that protruded out which is the characteristic of the slipper . The ear itself receive the master craftsman Alfried attention to the detail, and since it uses an extraordinary material, it has the best feel out of all the slipper . With its round and cute eyes, and light brown nose, makes it look cute and pleasing to the eyes . It’s a fine item to wear . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
「Such a cute slipper . 」
「Since Sylvio-niisan is sensitive to cold, it’s kinda like getting inside a blanket . 」
「It’s true . It’s warmer than the previous slipper, and also… . . it’s soft!」
「Right?
Sylvio-niisan looks happy as he turns around abruptly, and it seems that he’s pleased with the feel of the ear .
「Thank you ALl! Then I’ll accept this!」
「U, un . I’ll give it to you . 」
It was such a refreshing smile, I got shaken a little bit .
I see, so that’s the reason why the villager’s wife fell . Well you know, not only he’s such a lovely boy, but also gave a fleeting feeling of wanting to protect him, it’s tickling their motherly feeling . ?
The feeling is doubled when you look at this smile and his usual dignified appearance . This is the power of a mere nine years old him . In the event that one was told to protect him while growing up, are there people who wouldn’t fall for him I wonder .
With exuberant mood, Syllvio-niisan went out of the living room while snacking on some cookies .
Now then, should I also head back early so that I won’t get dragged into the women’s quarrel .
When I thought so, and put my hand on the door to withdraw from the living room that is already became a battlefield, my shoulder is grabbed .
「「Wait a minute . 」」
「……what is it」
「You still have it right? Gekota-kun I mean . 」
Eleonora-neesan, please don’t put such strength on my shoulder . It’ll get dislocated .
「No, I don’t have enough cloth to make another Gekota-kun . 」
「But you can make Pyonkichi right?」
Even Elna-kaasan is looking at me with suspicion .
「White and green cloth are completely two different things!」
「You truly can not make even one more pair?」
「Then Tonkichi――」
「「Don’t want it . 」」
Why! What’s wrong with Tonkichi! Even though it’s so adorable!
「……actually there is another distinct pair . 」
「Ara, what kind of slipper is it . 」
「Is it even more cute than Gekota-kun?」
With those few words, Eleonora-neesan and Elna-kaasan have a look of expectation .
「Yeah, but it won’t be suitable for the both of you . It’s exclusive for that person after all . 」
「It might be a cute thing just like the one Sylvio get . 」
「Ah, that’s right . I won’t understand it unless I see it myself . 」
Nooー, but even so, this is――
「「It’s fine, let me see it (please)」」
Losing to the two’s pressure, I reluctantly held out the slipper .
「……this is that person’s stuff」
「I don’t need it . 」
When I show it to the both of them, they said to make Gekota-kun as soon as the material is gathered, then they returned .
Since I manage to gather the materials earlier than expected, I made some for the maids and even for visitors . scelussceleris . wordpress . com

「Hm? What is this . 」
When Nord entered his office, there was a big wooden box on the desk . Naturally, Nord doesn’t remember putting such thing on the desk . It’s too plain of a gift for nobles .
When he tried to pick up the wooden box, he can hardly feel the weight of the wooden box itself . Feeling relieved that it’s not the fragile kind of item, he put it back down and untie the strings covering the lid . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
「……what the heck is this……hm? A letter?」
The moment Nord opened the cover-right in the middle of the box-,he pick something that look like a letter with his hand . He actually want to examine the thing inside first, but it is better to read the letter first since usually the content is written in the letter . If it was something sent by mistake, then it’s not good to touch it . And then, since the sender is unknown, he’s concerned about touching it as it is closed . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
And when he opened the letter which is neatly folded carefully with his hand, it was written as such .
Thank you for the hard work as always . I’ve prepared a wonderful footwear for Nord-sama .
Ryuta 2 . The whole thing is covered entirely of red cloth reminding one of a dragon . The scales is made properly – one by one – by the master craftsman Alfried, one can see the determination and attention to detail of the creator by just looking at it . The part where one insert one’s foot is giving the image of dragon’s belly, and it is by no means became looking monotonous . On the side, the picture of wings that is about to fly at any moment are drawn, just by wearing it alone, there’s no doubt that you can fly . And then, the centerpiece is the part that is the shell . The dragon head is giving an impression of howling and about to bite you anytime . The face is designed cutely, but it is still became a dragon with full of majesty . scelussceleris . wordpress . com
It is a footwear that is worthy of the name Dragon Slayer .
From the one who dearly loves you, Alfried .
「…………I don’t know what should I do about this . 」
