Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
93: Our home

I have heard alarming stories about the personality of Rembrandt's sister.

I have confirmed it with a number of people, but the reputation of the girls in general is not good.

I'm one of the people living in Academy City that's why I can't ask in person, so I asked Tomoe and Mio as well as the elder who runs the auxiliary branch, Beren, to investigate in Tsige.

This was recently.

So today, as there were various reports arranged, Tomoe asked me to return to Asora and decide on a place to meet.

… Actually, recently I did not stay long in Asora. No, honestly, nothing. The most frequent were the times I went to shoot a bow.

It's not like I'm fighting with anyone. There is a simpler reason.

"Shiki, can we go now?" (Macoto)

Even if I try to avoid it, I still have a business there so I have no choice. That's why Shiki and I came back.

“Yes, it's okay. I've arranged a report on our side. It should be okay to submit business to Lime ”(Shiki)

"... Wait, you intend to open?" (Macoto)

It makes me nervous, so maybe we should just take a break.

“It is not a regular holiday and not long ago we opened the store, so I think it is not recommended to close carelessly. I have ordered them to wait for any business offer, so there is no need to worry ”(Shiki)

Besides, I handed over a lot of shop handling to Shiki. I felt a kind of dignity there.

“If Chief Shiki says so, I will believe. Then... let's go” (Makoto)

Without waiting for his answer, I opened the fog gate.

Holding back the melancholy feeling, I returned to the Asora that I missed.

Suddenly, I felt a thick, hot smell.

Just by being there I began to sweat, and warm, moist air entered my lungs.

That's right, Asora's unstable climate has recently stabilized in the high-temperature tropical climate.

How uncomfortable. It was hot and humid, and there was no view of the rain. I'm not really sure if there are, but it makes me feel like there's a tropical rainforest out there.

If it was at a perpetual summer level it would be bearable, but this one easily surpassed summer in Japan and it was at a murder rate.

This is the reason why I have not visited Asora recently. I mean, it's really loud!

I think it will soon change its climate again, but there are no signs it will change. At this rate, wouldn't agriculture be affected?

I ordered Tomoe to investigate and she told me that she had gotten to the stage where the report was compiled, but she would definitely come up with a proposition that had a high level of experimentation. Well, for now this heat does not affect the area too much.

“Heat as usual” (Makoto)

"Yes. The academy seems to be in the spring and easy to live in, so it makes this place feel hotter ”(Shiki)

"Even though you said that, you have a refreshing expression, Shiki" (Makoto)

“Again, I don't mind the heat. Raido-I mean, Waka-sama” (Shiki)

“... In this place I don't really mind the way you call me, you know?” (Macoto)

“Mio-dono .. It seems like you don't really like being called Raidou-sama ..” (Shiki)

Smiling wryly, Shiki scratched her cheek. He worries about small details.

I just nodded lightly and, shaking the air coiling around me, entered my house.

It's even late and it's still this hot. Seriously, what's going on?

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Waka-sama, welcome back!"

When I opened the door of the hall where Tomoe and I had decided on the meeting, a large number of voices suddenly greeted me!

It scares me! My heart beats like crazy, you know?! What, what's going on?!

With my mouth still open, I looked into the room and there I saw the residents of Asora gathered.

Doesn't this look like... Everyone is here?

Surrounding a large table, they all gathered regardless of the race.

Is there a crazy big table like this? No, there's no. It means it was just made. Using incredible tree trunks just like that, they... Eh?

Isn't that too big? A table that could easily accommodate more than 100 people easily, what kind of giant tree was that? Did they cut down the world tree or something?

Also, this hall. The house was on the big side, but even so, it was not this wide. With this, this was not a hall made for meetings, this was more like a hall that nobles used to hold parties!

With shock still visible on my face, I shook my head to the side and checked the situation. Everyone looked at me with a smile on their faces.

And then, Tomoe and Mio and Ema came to my place.

… That Tomoe, she showed a face like her shock was a total success.

Damn, why is he so happy to deceive Shiki and me?

“... Shiki, are you okay?” (Macoto)

"Yes, Waka-sama" (Shiki)

…

He showed no signs of anxiety. Retainer who has been with me for a long time recently. Not only that, he smiled.

Eh?

eh?

“Welcome back, Waka” (Tomoe)

“Welcome back, Waka-sama” (Mio)

When they were within close range, Tomoe and Mio greeted me once again. Ema took another step and lowered her head.

“A, yes. I'm back” (Makoto)

While still confused, I replied with “I'm back”.

“Good work, Shiki. As planned, it seems Waka paid no attention to anything ”(Tomoe)

Tomoe grinned while talking to Shiki opposite me.

“Waka-sama, forgive me. Tomoe-san said she wanted to surprise him at all costs... Lately, you haven't come here at all, so please take this as a funny joke” (Mio)

Even Mio.

…

Shiki, you too. You are also involved in this.

Ahhh!

“Haaah~ you really surprised me. I'm back! Also, I'm sorry for not coming back often!” (Macoto)

“Yeah, Waka doesn't seem too used to the heat so I understand how you feel. Everyone wants you to come back a little more often. Then, this is ”(Tomoe)

Tomoe gave me a glass. It has a distinctive aroma. Alcohol yes. Night party, I don't mind. It is a substance with a pink color. If I remember correctly, this is a Sake made from a kind of fruit and sold well on Tsige.

Everyone's gaze gathered on me and everything contained hope. I-i understand. It became a dinner party and I, the leading man, holding a glass meant yes.

"REPEAT!!" (Macoto)

I raised the glass high and announced the cheers. From some places there was the sound of glass.

“It's been a long time, right? Tomo, Mio. Also Ema” (Makoto)

Before I noticed, Mio was holding a plate of food with a hand that was not occupied by the glass. Wow, that's fast. But the party has already started, so it's not bad to have as much fun as possible.

“Serius-desu. Asking us to investigate when you go to the Academy, just think of the kids and business ”(Tomoe)

“Everyone misses you. Waka-sama, please return to Asora more often. I beg you” (Ema)

This is from Tomoe and Ema. Well, I received a clear scolding. If it was just heat it would be one thing, but I couldn't handle the damp sensation that wrapped around it too well. When I didn't have a business, I didn't really want to do it, but I really had to go back to Asora a little more.

My knowledge gathering at the Academy is also going well and there is no point in learning the knowledge and common sense of this world to the fullest. It's not like I know all about where I came from in Japan.

As I gained common sense and basic knowledge, I had to move on to the next step. Knowledge is gained for use after all. In fact, I was able to play back my memories in Asora and I clearly read more than I did in my previous world.

I find it rather unpleasant to copy all the contents of the library just by reading, but it is not like I sold it so please forgive me, that is what I use as an excuse. I am a small creature.

However, I was a bit worried about how little Mio spoke. He spoke to me a while ago, so I don't think he's in any danger. I was actually ready to accompany him in all his talks.

“U-Uhm-s. If you want, please accept this ”(Mio)

And when I thought of that, Mio encouraged me to grab a plate of food in her hand. T-To bring food to others. Maybe because he was influenced by the adventurers and the townspeople? That's awesome Mio!

“Mio, thank you. Heh~ looks like what I ate at Tsige. Un, it feels thicker than in Tsige and fits my taste. It's really yummy” (Makoto)

It's like an improved version of Tsige's food that I think would be better if it tasted more viscous. The details are somewhat different, but it may have been made by someone from the helper branch who was interested in Tsige's cooking.

I'm seeing. Just like this, there are also Tsige patterns that affect Asora culture. It was great to eat food in the city. I have been in Academy Town so I haven't eaten Tsige's cooking for a while.

“N, what's up? Mio, you brought it, so you ate too ”(Makoto)

“….”

Even when she recommended her food, Mio looked like she was holding something back and closed her eyes in silence. Whahuh? Today Mio is really strange.

“Mio?” (Macoto)

“Ahahaha! Waka, Mio is overwhelmed with emotions!” (Tomos)

“Tomoe... overwhelmed with emotions?” (Macoto)

"That's fine. What Waka eats is actually something Mio made ”(Tomoe)

Wh-what?!

"Make?! Mio did it ?! ” (Makoto)

"Yes. Looks like she woke up to cook lately. He bowed his head to the cooks at Tsige and learned to cook from them. Also, she cooperates in reproducing Japanese food. Unfortunately, we were not on time for this event. The food there is almost all made by Mio with all her heart ”(Tomoe)

Being told that, I once again saw the food scattered on the table. Large plates containing food, beautifully cut fruits, soup in pots ...

This ... was created by Mio.

… Isn't that impressive?

Even if she wakes up to cook, it's only been a few months.

If you ask me about what food I can cook with that much time .. Ah, that would be the time when I mess up the water in the rice cooker and it becomes a big uproar. The past I want to forget.

I was really desperate about the difference in learning ability. And at the same time, I was honestly impressed by how amazing Mio was.

To be able to reproduce the food he ate in the store in such a short time.

“Mio, you are amazing. It was very delicious ”(Makoto)

I told him my honest feelings.

Mio trembled for a moment and slowly opened her closed eyes. His face was full of satisfaction.

“Waka-sama, to think that cooking is an amazing thing. I don't know ”(Mio)

“Eh? Aren't you training for a while now? Also, you practice because you like it right? ” (Makoto)

“... No, I do not understand. And today, I have learned true happiness ”(Mio)

“... So” (Makoto)

"Yes! Waka-sama, next time I will prepare something more delicious! That's right, over, over-desu!” (Mio)

Suddenly making a proclamation, I thought Mio would head to the food at the table, but she actually went in the opposite direction and left the hall.

W-What happened?

“Yareyare, The Mio. Seeing him like that, he probably intended to ignore the upcoming report meeting-ja na. Well, aside from the materials report, he only has a few cases in Tsige that I already know about, so it shouldn't cause any problems ”(Tomoe)

“Tomoe, uhm, Mio is..?” (Macoto)

“Maybe in Tsige. Right now, it seemed like there was an adventurer with a rare cooking technique there. It seemed like in exchange for learning to cook from that person, Mio handled a lot of difficulties for him. I feel sorry for him, seeing Mio's condition, he might be dragged all night” (Tomoe)

How annoying he is. Whereas cooking is like a strange job technique for adventurers. Well, Mio was dealing with a lot of issues so it should prove to be beneficial for her main job. Well, no need to worry. It seems like she is engrossed in cooking, so I don't have to worry about her injuring the adventurer.

“Yeah, nice she's satisfied” (Makoto)

“Thank you for your gentle words. In that case, MANY people have long wanted to meet Waka, so let's go together. The meeting can be held later. Ah, I don't mind you drinking sake, but please don't get drunk. Shiki, and master also ”(Tomoe)

“It looks like it will be a long night ya” (Makoto)

“I'll refrain from Sake. I feel it will affect my actions in the report meeting tonight ”(Shiki)

“Shiki really tense-ja no. I'm not going to say it's bad, but you're too stiff. It would be nice to have a little alcohol in your system. Ah right, since we have a chance, let's take the food to the Waka room where we will have a meeting. Ema, can I hand this to you?” (Tomos)

"Yes. I'll finish it. Everyone seems to be very happy to see Waka-sama after such a long time. Today's drink seems like quite a lot, so maybe there will be people who will soon die drunk. I will gather people and make them prepare to breastfeed ”(Ema)

Ema nimbly gave the order as she disappeared into the crowd. Even if she looks like that, she is the type who likes Sake. We have made him take on a difficult task. I'll tell someone to bring me some food and Sakenya later.

Anyway, that Tomoe. I thought this was at the time of Lime too but, this girl, she was actually acting like an asshole. To drink while deciding our plan huh. Cause like this, I feel like I'm gonna hear some good news but…

“Now, Waka. From the older one first, in order. They can't wait anymore. They have done their best. Please give them a gift ”(Tomoe)

"Yes, I get it" (Makoto)

No objections here. Everyone really does their best. I haven't been here often, but I understand enough.

Tomoe doesn't have to tell me. If I'm enough, I want to go to everyone's place and say thank you to them.

Together with Tomoe and Shiki, I headed to the residents who had made a line and were waiting for me.
