Chapter 21.3
We decided to go to the bandits hideout tomorrow, and ended the meeting there. I decided to give everyone else the Good work for after completing the quest safely.
Because tomorrow will take up too much time from me I will have to make up an excuse to tell mom. Normally I would just say that Im going to Monicas house or Sara-sans house or Melones house.
I havent said to my other friends that Im in a party with Monica-san. Although I have been with Dean when training in the forest, thats because there is a limit to keeping a secret that Im doing quests with the others. Its just that Mizer forests level of danger is high even though only weak monsters appear.
Monica-san of course, but Sera-san and Melone-san too know about my circumstances, so they allow me to go out using their names as an excuse, and they cover for me. I have been invited to their houses, so it isnt that strange, and I spent time healthy with them. My definition of healthy may differ from the conventional healthy though.
Im going to Monica-sans house tomorrow. Mom, you should go to Monica-sans house to thank her soon
Its alright, I know Monica-san has been helping even though she has to go hunting
I explain to mom while eating dinner in the living room. Moms cooking skill have gone over level 50 as a result of cooking for many years. And as a her cooking goes up each year my father becomes happier.
Hiro-chan, will you go to Monica-sans home again? You could come to Rionas home too
Sorry, another time. Please say hello to Sarasa-san for me
No matter how I look at Hiroto, he is way more accustomed to dealing with women than I was at his age What do you think, mother?
You were like that too, that time at the banquet a lot of girls were fawning over you
T-That I was still young, I was just promoted and so I was getting a lot of attention I wasnt doing anything weird, my heart belongs only to Remilia after all
Although Sarasa-san stays at home almost all the time, she and Riona often come to play at our house. I learned weaving from my mom, and alchemy from Neris-san, so I could work even without leaving the town.
When Riona comes, she takes care of Sonia. So Sonia likes mom the most, then Riona and then me. Im still quite liked even though Im number three.
Onii-tan, Sonia wants to play with Onii-tan too!
Although Sonia is just a three years old, she is a clever girl and can even speak quite skillfully for a kid of her age.
As my dad Ricardo expected, Sonia is a fast learner like me, or maybe better than me? Her growth can only be called that of a genius for a child of her age.
But for me, she is still my little sister. Her height is quite low (as expected of a kid), it hasnt reached 1 meter yet. Because she would just recklessly run around I had to be very careful and take care of her when she was a bit younger.
Sonia has her hair tied in a two pig-tails style, a twin-tail. There was another name for twin-tail, but Im most familiar with twin-tail. She has the same flaming hair as mom, and when they stand side by side, its like looking at a younger mom. Thats why dad is too fond of Sonia.
When Sonia grows a bit more I will take you with me
Onii-tan is an idiot! Sonia wants to go now! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
When she was younger she was so obedient, but lately she has become somewhat of a selfish princess. Recently, when I dont do what she wants, she jumps down from the chair and comes at me to hit me with her small hands. Since I feel no pain I just pick her up and sit her on my lap.
Onii-tan, bring Sonia too?
When she starts acting like this, everyone cant help but smile. Riona also looks at me with a face that says Im glad but she is putting her index to her lips, which gives out a feel of lust. Although thats a habit of hers, its strangely adorable coming from an eight years old girl, so its hard to point it out.
Sonia-chan, when you grow up a bit more lets play together. You can come to my house
Yay~! Ill go with Riona onee-chan!
Hahaha, Hiroto is quite popular. Tomorrow is Monicas house, and next Riona-chans. Make sure you look out for Sonia too
Wait- dad, thats not going to happen for a long time
Hiroto, dont be mean with Riona-chan. Please go out to play with Riona-chan next sunday
At such timing mom decides to side up with Riona and Sonia. Dad isnt going to help neither, its like they are approaching their rebellious age, wait, Im approaching it too. Well, Im not just obedient.
Although I tend to like being with the older ones, but Riona is just too cute. Recently, she has been letting her hair down to the side, and it looks way too similar to herself in the previous life. Although its Sarasa-san who is doing Rionas hair, it was quite a surprise to me when I discovered that the same hairstyle exists in this world.
Her clothes too, she stopped wearing the simple clothes by young children to wearing frilly clothes for girls. Thats partially because Stella-ane went to pick up clothes for her. Although the Padle company handles quite a variety of materials, Mizers main business is clothing, to the point that this town imports cutting-edge clothing manufacture tools from the capital. Craftsmen who specialize in clothing are different in this world, and the clothes they make are made one by one. Of course, there is the possibility of mass-producing a simple design too.
Mom buys woven cloth from Elenas shop and processes it into clothes. Moms clothes seem to be exported to the capital, the quality seems to be stable and its seems to be quite popular in the capital. Thanks to that, she got a stable job, and when she feels she is unable to complete an order, she asks Sarasa-san for help.
Onii-tan, whats wrong?
Hmm Ah, no, nothing. Lets finish dinner, so, Sonia, come down
Yes!
Sonia gets off my lap and climbs up to her chair. Until some time ago she would need dads or moms help to sit down on her chair, but now she can do it alone.
Dad, mom, can I enter the bath with onii-tan?
Aah, dad doesnt mind. But, Sonia, you should enter the bath with dad some times too. Hiroto stopped doing it, so I have been lonely lately
Dear Dont worry, why not go in together?
Ill go with dad tomorrow. Today its with onii-tan and Riona-oneechan
Yes, with Riona Eh?
As I was absentmindedly answering her, I noticed that I was stepping on a land mine.
Hiro-chan, it has been a while, since we entered together. I think it would be embarrassing to enter together
W-Well, I just said that without thinking, it was like going with the flow
Hiroto, a man doesnt go back on his words. Dont make excuses, just go in together
Dear, thats overdoing it a bit Huhu. But, its not that bad either, both are still children
Hiro-oniitan, Riona-oneechans chest has grown a bit
He-Hee
