- V2 - Chapter 2 - A Leisurely Trip (1)
The next morning.
“U~n…”
There was a distressed groaning sound in the living room of Instructor Miya’s house.
The voice came from Sara, who was sitting with her cheek on the table.
“What’s wrong?” I was preparing breakfast when I asked this. The Instructor, who was on a holiday break today, had yet to wake up, so I only prepared breakfast for Sara and me.
“You see, Theo-kun, your onee-san here has a lot to worry about right now.”
“Worries? What kind of?”
“Like how to make Theo-kun fall in love with me?”
“…Wha-? T-That would be something that would be difficult for you to ask me…”
“Ara~a, I love seeing that troubled Theo look. Ehehe! Maybe I should make you more troubled.” Sara-san said while mischievously laughing. I wonder if it was a lie that she has worries?
“Well, let’s end with that. Let me help you prepare breakfast. I can’t stand the idea of being a freeloader and doing nothing in return.” Saying this, Sara-san stood up and started to help me. Although I am still suspicious of her actions, I could sense her good nature and common sense when I met her.
On the contrary, the Instructor is a firm and strict person, but she is a clumsy type of woman in reality.
She is still asleep at this time and doesn’t do any housework even though it’s her break.
Though, I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
“Hngh~… this is difficult~.”
Eventually, Sara and I started to eat breakfast at the table after the preparations.
Still, Sara-san continued to have a worried look.
“Umm, if you have a problem, maybe you can try telling me what it is, and I could help? I want to repay Sara-san for making me the dual swords.”
“You’re so dependable, Theo-kun. You’re making this oneesan’s heart thumping. Mou~, Theo-kun’s such an oneesan killer.” Sara said teasingly to me as she ate her scrambled eggs.
“But maybe you’re right… Maybe I should tell my worries to Theo-kun?”
“I’m all ears.”
“Then, I’ll take up your offer,” Sara-san said as she tore off a piece of bread and ate it.
“You know that the Heavenly Saint Festival will be held in a few days, right?”
“Of course. The preparations can be seen all over the city.”
The Heavenly Saint Festival is a large-scale event held in the imperial city of Angelus. It’s an event that boasts a history of several hundred years as an early summer tradition, and on the day of it, tourists from other countries come to visit. The capital population, which is already massive, increases by 20%.
“So, is your worry related to the Heavenly Saint Festival?”
“Yes. I received a request from the royal family asking me, as Elt Kuraien, if I could create a special weapon.”
“Isn’t that an honor?”
“Well, yeah. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the Heavenly Saint Festival, and so as a way to commemorate the occasion, a special weapon is a good idea. Plus, I’ve already accepted the request. Also, I want to liven up the festival.”
“Then, what are you so worried about?”
“Design,” Sara said. “I haven’t got any ideas for the commemorative weapon yet… Uwah! W-What should I do?”
“It’s only a couple of weeks until the Heavenly Saint Festival. Will you be able to finish it?”
“Well, I can finish the commemorative weapon in a week as long as the design is determined.”
“But the smithy got caught on fire, didn’t it?”
“I have evacuated the minimum necessary tools and are in the wagon, so there’s no problem with that.”
“So, the design is the only problem?”
“That~is~right~. Waah! What weapon should I make? I have no idea at all! ─Ah! Maybe if Theo-kun kissed me, I’d get a spark of inspiration!”
“P-Please d-don’t ask for something crazy!”
“A flustered Theo-kun is also really cute! Hehehe!” Sara-san said as she gulped down the remaining of her breakfast.
Then Sara-san gulped down her milk and continued.
“Then help me with this, then.”
She suddenly said, stood up, and got close next to me.
“W-What is it???”
“Theo-kun, won’t you go out with me today?”
“Wh-What do you mean by that?”
“As I said, I’m stuck for ideas, so I thought it would be good to go out for a change. Theo-kun, I’d like you to go with me to search for ideas if you don’t mind.”
“…I see. In that case, I’ll be glad to accompany you.”
Since I’ve said I wanted to help, there’s no reason to refuse if that’s the reason.
“Thank you, Theo-kun~. Let’s go right away!”
“W-Wait a minute. W-We’re going right now? The stores are yet to open?”
“The place that I want to go is not a store. We’re going to go a little farther, so by the time we get to our destination, it should be just the right time! That’s why Theo-kun, get ready to go out!”
“I-I understand.”
Under Sara-san’s sudden declaration, I shoveled down my breakfast and got back to my room to get ready.
“Ah! You have a hole in your pants.” Sara-san said as I got back to the living room after changing into casual clothing.
I looked at my pants when she pointed that out, and true enough, there was a hole on it.
“It’s probably a bug bite. Please wait here a moment.” Sara-san said as she took out a pouch from the corner of the room.
“What is it?”
“This? A sewing set.”
Then, Sara-san took out a needle and dexterously threaded the thread on it, and crouched down.
“This will be over in a jiffy, so stay put for a while, Theo-kun.”
“O-Okay…”
I was surprised at how she could spot the bug bites. And Sara-san can sew as well? She is called a “master craftsman,” so she can probably perform most of tasks requiring dexterity. Also, it showed off her feminine side that the Instructor doesn’t have.
“Hey! Do you think that I was a little bit like an old lady right now?”
“Eh?”
“Sewing is a little bit like an old lady thing. People think it’s more of old lady stuff.”
“No, I didn’t think that at all. I think it’s a family-oriented and wonderful thing.”
Contrary to her easy-going personality, Sara-san has a great deal of feminine ability and care. Maybe the lack of family-oriented qualities in the Instructor was a result of Sara-san absorbing all of those qualities.
“Telling me something like family-oriented. That’s the furthest thing from my mind being single.” Sara-san laught deprecatedly as she said this.
“Its all patched up now. Just tell me if there are any more holes, and I’ll sew them up.”
“Thank you very much.”
With that, we started heading out.
As we were getting ready to go out again, the Instructor came into the living room after waking up.
“Oh? Are you going somewhere, Theo-kun?”
“Yes, I’m going out with Sara-san.”
“G-going out with neesan?!” the Instructor said upsettingly.
“W-When did the two of you get so c-close…!?”
“Y-You misunderstand things! It’s not that I’m in a relationship with Sara-san. I’m just going out with her! I’m going out Sara-san to help her with a change of pace! That’s all!”
