Chapter 211 – [Porter] Coat
“… Thanks for the coat.”
As she said that, she handed me her coat.
I checked her hand as I reached out to receive it.
There is no ring yet.
“Didn’t I tell you to wear a ring when you came to visit me?”
“Oh…”
At my words, Yuni slightly avoided her gaze and answered.
“… I just came to return the coat.”
“Khehehe, what is it?”
The coat I received was placed roughly around the sleeping bag.
Because I have nothing to wear right now.
Perhaps because I moved my body for a moment, Seria, who had been confined to her sleeping bag, let out a moan and tossed and turned.
“Um…”
In the wind, Uni’s gaze briefly turned to Seria under her sleeping bag.
Seeing her slightly blushing face, it seemed that she understood what was going on.
Do you want to come in I wanted to joke about it, but I stopped doing it because it didn’t seem to be of much use.
Let’s do that later, when you accept me.
“What about Arin?”
“… Are you sleeping. What were you thinking of sending it?”
She must have asked why she sent her out of the blue.
“She was afraid that sleeping alone would make her lonely. Didn’t you like it?”
“… There is no need for such meddling.”
Even though she said that, she didn’t tell me not to let go.
It’s a look I don’t hate.
“…”
Even though the business was over with this, she hesitated for a moment.
I didn’t bother to say more, as it was obvious that if I pointed out this fact, I would leave right away.
Shall I say something?
“Do you regret coming to me?”
“It was my decision, so I have no regrets.”
After saying that, Yuni added, holding her by the arm.
“… I think I was stupid.”
“Phehe…”
When I laughed, she glared at me.
“You… What are you planning to do when the demon king dies?”
“What if I die? Well…”
When you die, the hero and party members will become heroes.
It’s me, I’m not a formal party member, so I’ll sneak in.
“I won’t do anything.”
From the beginning, there was no particular desire for power or anything like that.
You just need to eat well and live well.
“… What about Seria and Arin?”
“Will you follow me?”
Even if I don’t say anything, he will follow you on his own.
Well, that’s why I think I can live comfortably with them.
“It’s an easy life.”
“Comfort is best.”
Saying that, I smiled.
“How are you?”
“I am…”
She didn’t answer easily.
You wouldn’t have to worry about it before.
It must have been her wish to live with the hero.
But now?
Can I still dream of getting along with the hero?
“Oh… Ugh…”
Uni must have touched something, so she bit her lip.
I don’t want to cry in front of me, so I’m trying to refrain as much as possible, but it looks like tears will come out if I touch it.
I didn’t mean to cry
Should I fix this again?
I inadvertently tried to get up, but the sleeping Seria tossed over and grabbed my arm.
“… If there is nothing else to do.”
She carefully wiped her eyes and looked at me.
“Then come. I won’t starve to death just because I have one person.”
Yuni’s eyes opened slightly.
“… I just have to go back to the village anyway.”
“Oh, I see.”
Come to think of it, she said she was the village chief’s daughter.
Well, come to think of it, it was a good question.
No, wait.
So you’re saying that if you want to bring her back, you have to solve this problem too?
My back hurts all of a sudden.
“Probably no seats, but…”
“Huh?”
I think you mumbled something small?
“Oh, no. Just like that.”
“Hmm…”
Well, let’s think about this a little later.
While I was contemplating what to bring up the next topic, Arin, with her messy hair, poked her head out with a rustling sound.
“Ah, Yuni… You were here too… Haam…”
“Scale? Why are you sleeping more…”
Yuni winced as if she had been caught doing something bad.
“You know I wake up at this time.”
“Ah… That, it was.”
The relationship doesn’t look that bad. Was it a good idea to let Arin go?
“Rather than that, being here…”
“Hey, I’m going now.”
Uni said in embarrassment when Arin smiled.
“… That, then…”
She waved her hand appropriately and let it go.
“Did I just intervene?”
“No, it wasn’t bad.”
I didn’t have much to say anyway.
Arin came inside, saw Seria in my arms, and pushed her out.
“It’s petty.”
“I’ll give you a shift tomorrow.”
“Oh, really?”
While not leaving Yuni alone, the relationship between the three of them should also be allowed to recover.
Now, when the hostility is not as strong as before, is an opportunity to bring things back together.
***
After that, I alternately sent them to Yuni’s tent.
At first, he didn’t really like being separated from me, but after going back and forth a few times, he didn’t seem to dislike it so much that his relationship with Uni was restored.
Anyway, once every two days, you can monopolize me.
While stopping by the next village, Luella also visited once.
He didn’t try to kill us like last time, but he seemed a little displeased.
Well, he’s going to kill his master, but if he’s in a good mood, that’s kind of weird.
Of course, he insisted that he had no intention of doing so, but the answer was already decided at the time he came in the form of Uni.
“Somehow…”
“Huh?”
She looked at me and said with open eyes.
“If you…”
Was it embarrassing or something I shouldn’t have said?
She didn’t go back.
“Keuhehe, what about me?”
“… No.”
“You mean you want to serve as a master, right?”
“No!”
When Arin babbled, Louella burst into anger.
“It’s not like that, it’s just… Ha… No.”
Eventually, leaving me curious to the end, she left.
“It seems that he only comes and hugs me when he is lonely.”
“Does Seria think so too?”
The two said that to each other and laughed.
Well, other than these things, nothing special happened.
Just taking care of Yuni a little more, and that she came closer to us?
Suddenly, her position was in the middle of the hero and us, closer to us.
“Is that really a good thing?”
“Don’t you think Uni knows?”
“No, not at all.”
It was a good sign that Yuni started mixing her words with Arin or Seria.
Yuni, who has always been alone with her, has also distanced herself a little from Ertina, and as a result, she is always alone.
In the meantime, Seria and Arin visit each other every night and treat each other, so the longing must have been even more intense.
Little by little her heart was tinged with us.
As Uni knew, this wasn’t something she could easily stop even if she tried to stop it.
“… Why?”
“No.”
When I stared at her, Yuni looked at me and asked.
“Do you really like a man like that?”
“Whoops… Do you come and ask me that?”
Suddenly, Uni asked a strange question.
“Well, the master is definitely not a good person.”
Arin laughed at Seria’s words.
Well, I can’t deny it.
“But, Yuni. We are…”
Seria said that, then looked at me and whispered something in her ear.
“Oh…”
Then Yuni’s face turned red.
What are you talking about?
“It’s a secret from the master.”
Yuni’s expression changed strangely.
Well, that’s not a bad thing anyway.
“Maybe the day will come when you will find out too.”
“… Rice, I don’t really want to know, stuff like that.”
Saying that, Yuni looked at me.
It was a careful gesture, hoping that the fact that he was looking at me would not be noticed.
There is still no ring on her hand.
But the next day, Seria, who had slept with Yuni, told me that she had messed with my ring at dawn.
“Okay?”
“Whoops… Maybe Uni is waiting too? Master, please do something.”
“Hmm…”
If there is an opportunity, I think it would be good to try again.
Is it a village soon?
It would be nice to spend time there again.
“Good job. Didn’t you sleep until dawn?”
“No, I was sleeping, but it seemed that Uni suddenly woke up, so I woke up at the same time.”
It looks like Uni woke up too, right?
It may have happened after seeing something in a dream.
I asked them if they had ever talked about Yuni and her dreams.
“A dream?”
“Um…”
The girls thought for a moment, as if there was nothing special to say.
“What… I think you were talking about the brick house.”
“A brick house?”
Hearing that, it reminds me of something.
The house she saw in Uni’s dream before.
The inside was covered, and the house in Eric and their children’s dream was obviously a brick house.
“What did you say while talking about that?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
There was no talk.
Was there a hero or not?
“Yes, like… As if I had only seen that in my dreams.”
Apparently, no one appears in Uni’s dreams anymore.
There are no heroes, no children they wished to be among them.
No one.
