「I’m going!」 I woke up hearing Eleonora-neesan’s gallant and faint voice coming from downstairs .
I raised my upper body that was on the bed, and after stretching to the utmost, I pushed open the wooden window . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
And as expected, it was Eleonora-neesan with her reddish brown ponytail swaying .
Swaying quietly on her hair, is the scrunchie that I gave her yesterday as a souvenir .
It was made of white fabric with red polka dots on it .
I was kinda afraid that she would say something like 「I don’t need such things」, but the person herself received most of the things that I bought and she looked like she was quite pleased with it .
The remaining souvenirs are those things that I bought and don't suit Eleonora-neesan, I guess .
I think women’s fashion is complicated, since there are still some souvenirs that I thought to be pretty good .
In any case, I’m also as happy as Eleonora-neesan who put it on immediately .
I watched as Eleonora-neesan disappear into the distance with satisfaction, then I got dressed for the morning .
Usually I head towards the dining room as it is, but I’m going to go to Torr’s house today so I decided to change into clothes for going outside .
As I change into a green shirt, brown pants and a relatively easy-to-move clothes, I hear a voice coming from the hallway .
「Uwaa! What are you doing?」
「Heheheー, it’s a pin I bought at the royal capital . It looks good on me right?」
「Ehー? It doesn’t suit you . Your forehead is in plain sight and you look three times as silly as usual . 」
「Mel-san you’re so mean! You said the same thing as Alfried-sama! Nord-sama and Elna-sama are praising me you know, saying that it’s cute while smiling!?」
「……isn’t that you being laughed at? Why don’t you try to get your face closer to Elna-sama . That way, you can tell by yourself whether you’re being praised or laughed at . 」
「Why can’t you just praise me obediently! There’s no way that’s going to be true!」
「Then, let’s go see Elna-sama . 」
「Sure, I don’t mind . 」
Mina walked with her chest puffed up as if she was angry, while Mel walked as if she was saying 「Good grief」 .
I came out of my room, and slowly walked behind the two of them . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
「 . . . . . . I guess breakfast will be noisy todayー」
Sara - who was carrying the plates - greeted me when I entered the dining room a bit later than Mina and Mel .
「Good morning」
「Morning Sara」
After she greeted me, Sara quickly carried the plates away .
Compared to her, the other person is,
「Elna-sama? Why didn’t you look at me today?」
Trying to confirm the truth of what Mel said to her before .
「That’s not true . It’s just your imagination . 」
「No! Ever since I entered this room, Elna-sama never once did you look at my face!」
Mina brought her face closer, but Elna-kaasan just held her teacup with a composed smile on her face .
But, I know the truth . That Elna-kaasan is actually laughing .
As for how did I know, that’s because her face is a little stiff from her usual gentle smile . And the corner of her mouth is raised a little and it’s also twitching *pikupiku* .
And the teacup is tilted in such a way as if to hide it . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
「Ara Al, you’re up already . Morning . 」
「Morning Elna-kaasan」
It’s obvious that she is trying to change the subject .
「Please don’t change the subject!」
「You said that you’re going to Torr-kun’s house right . Is it to give him his souvenir?」
Mina became angry and tried to make the conversation go back to the previous one, but Elna-kaasan ignored her and opened up a conversation with me .
「Un, that’s right . I’ll go after having breakfast . 」
「Oh . Speaking of souvenirs, Eleonora looks extremely happy when she wears the scrunchie . She woke up early in the morning and look quite pleased by the scrunchie . 」
「Fufufu」Elna-kaasan said that with a gentle smile on her face while sipping on her tea .
If I woke up earlier, then I might be able to see such a rare spectacle huh .
「Speaking of souvenirs, look at the pin I’m wearing! Elna-sama! 」
「Yes yes, your forehead is in plain sight and you looks three times as silly as usual Mina . 」
Because Mina has been too noisy since the morning, I decisively said it .
And at that moment, maybe Elna-kaasan’s throat was blocked by her tea or something, she started to have a coughing fit .
She appears to be coughing painfully, but her shoulders are clearly shaking . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
「Elna-sama, here’s a towel!」
「Thank you Mina――pfft!」
Elna-kaasan finally bursts out laughing when she receives the towel presented by Mina and sees her face completely .
「Uwaaaaaaaa! Alfried-sama and Elna-sama are also meaaann!」
Mina rushed out of the dining room forcefully .
In the end, the one who saw Mina and didn’t laugh is only Bartolo .
Sylvio-niisan gave a wry smile, while Nord-tousan also burst out laughing as he got careless in his office .
◆
After the noisy breakfast ended, I head towards Torr’s house with Bartolo’s handmade bento1 and the goblins’s sword wrapped in a cloth
Heading toward the village while stepping on the soil with a crunching sound *jarijari* . I took a deep breath while basking in the warm spring sunlight .
The smell of soil and the greeneries shot through my nose . It feels like eating mint . I proceed along the road while listening to the sounds of birds chirping . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
Before long, when I get closer to the village, the field enters my view, and I can see the villagers swinging their hoes to plow the field . When I look closely, I can see Roland-ossan wiping his sweat and swinging his hoe .
Since we’re quite far from each other, I’m gonna pass without calling him this time .
I wonder if the wheat sprout will grow quickly this year . . ?
When I’m heading towards Torr’s house - a house with a reddish roof - I hear the sounds of something like a firewood being chopped from nearby .
I got quite curious, so I walked in the direction of the sounds .
Immediately after, I see Torr’s figure raising an axe to chop a firewood .
When Torr noticed me, he came and greeted me with an excessively happy look .
「Ooh! It’s Al! I’ve been waiting for you!」
「Can I just give you your souvenir and go home?」
I got a bad feeling seeing his pleasant smile . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
「Don’t give me the cold-shoulder now . Just help me a little . All you need to do is to place the wood . 」
Holding the axe in one hand, Torr put his other arm on my shoulder .
This guy, he hit my body with that axe on purpose .
Without a doubt, this it’s a threat . And it’s this guy anyway, so I wouldn’t know what he would do .
「Oh well, if it’s only that . I’m not the who who swung the axe right?」
「Ou!」
Lightly threatened by Torr, I found a big, suitable stone and sat down reluctantly .
Then I took a firewood log from the stack near the stump and placed it on the stump .
「Heave-ho!」
Torr struck the log with his axe, and it hit the center of the log .
And then, he lifted the axe - with the blade still stuck in the middle of the log - and swung it down .
With a dry sound *karan*, the log was split in two . 2
「You’re not splitting it in one go?」
「It’s easier to split it this way . And it’s dangerous to use all of your strength to split it . 」
「Move back a little」, I moved from that place following Torr’s direction .
Placing a firewood log on top of the stump, Torr raised the axe and struck the log just like that .
The log was split and flew with a dry sound *karan* .
If I was still sitting near that place, the flying firewood would have hit me then . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
Torr pulled out the blade of the axe that was stuck on the stump and said 「See?」
「Certainly, it’s dangerous . 」
After that, Torr and I had a little talk as the two of us kept chopping firewood .
「You don’t know the know-how of splitting firewood, have you ever split firewood before?」
「Nope . I’m a noble you see . Bartolo is the one who did it for me . 」
「Work a little will ya . Firewood are used everyday but it’s hard to prepare it right?」
「I guess . But, we bought the latest fire magic tool, so we will not use anymore firewooー」
「Haaa!?」
「That’s dangerous! My hand is still there!」
What a guy . Even though I was still in the middle of placing the firewood on the stump, he still swung his axe down .
He did something unbelievable . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
「Rather than that, what did you just say!?」
「Oi, even though you almost cut my important right arm, you’re saying that? I said we bought a fire magic tool, so we don’t need firewood anymore . The fuel is one’s magic power . . 」
「Haaa!? That’s cheating!? Give me that!」
「No way . The one for you is this one . This . 」
I brushed off Torr’s attempt at grabbing at me, and pointed at the sword placed beside me .
「What’s this? A stick?」
It looks like Torr doesn’t recognize it because it’s wrapped in a cloth .
Because of that, I picked it up and unwrapped it with a rustle *shurushuru* .
The moment the silver blade of the sword was revealed, Torr raised his voice in excitement 「Oohh!」 , it looks like he guessed it already .
「Look, it’s a sword . 」
Though, it’s a goblin sword . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
I took the cloth away and when I handed it over to Torr, he looked at it happily .
Tracing the sword blade with his finger, turning it the other way, and cheerfully holding it up to the sunlight .
I polished it till it sparkles *pikapika* yesterday . It was in a fair condition originally, so there shouldn't be a problem .
「It’s a real sword! Not a wooden one!」
Because the sword is goblin-sized, it’s possible for someone like Torr to hold it in one hand . Well, it might also because Torr’s body is already trained by the firewood-splitting .
It’s a little heavy for me .
「I thought that you would give me a toy or something since it’s Al, but I didn’t expect you to give me a sword . Thank you! 」
Torr came to me and thanked me with a smile . www . ihavesinnedtranslation . com
It makes me feel a little bit guilty if you tell me that with that kind of smile .
If it’s broken later, I’ll give him a better one, or I’ll have Logan make it for me .
