Welcome!
「There's been a bit of a stir over at the empire. Helen is in trouble because she's caught up in it, so I'd say the safest place in the kingdom is ...... 」
「I'm sure it's home.」
Diana steal my words. Is that how she perceive it as well?
「Wolves roam around acting as natural sentries and because it's a forest, it's as intricate as a labyrinth.」
「And the house is enchanted to keep people away, No ordinary person could get there.」
Both Riku and Liddy nod yes and appeal on safety.
Sammy doesn't seem to be pitching. Having lived mostly in the forest, she probably doesn't really feel it when she hear that the Black Forest itself is considered a dangerous area in the first place.
「Well, that's why she’s going to live with us for a while.」
「What do you do when you go to town?」
Sammy raises the question. I don't know if I'm going to take her with me or We could leave her here .......
I don't want to do that if at all possible. We don't want to be in a situation where there is nothing we can do if something goes wrong.
「she'll go with us, but we'll see how it goes. Let's have her wear the wig for the first round trip, then take it off when things settle down in the empire.」
「Is that okay?」
By taking her with us, the risk of discovered by the pursuers is of course higher. Moreover, with the wig on we have been seen everywhere.
「I'm sure it'll be fine. The person who knows best, a guard at the imperial gate, they thought Helen and me are married and it might be more convenient for us to be together.」
At my words, Diana and Sammy rattled out of their seats. Riku and Liddy are also fidgeting.
What is it?
「...... Certainly, just because I say so doesn't mean I've gone through any procedures. So I'm pretty sure they're going to find out if they go into detail.」
Everyone seated as I continued my story, ignoring everyone gaze. I am concerned about the looks of relieve, but since they seems to be okay, I decide not to worry about it.
「Like I said, I expected it, and I don't care how long you and I stay.」
Diana speaks to Helen in a calm tone of voice.
「I mean, we're family now.」
Sammy also sounds easy going. If you rattle the chair, will fall.
「Besides we have room.」
「I'm not a customer anymore.」
The last two are Riku and Liddy.
Helen heard their words and looked down
「Thank you ...... thank you ......」
She mumbles. I gently pat her shoulder.
Once that is decided, it’s time to eat, no matter what. Before I start preparing food, let's first dust off our trip.
Unload the luggage, wipe the body with a wet cloth, and change into my house clothes. I'll get my stuff sorted out again later tomorrow.
After changing quickly and easily, I go out of my room and stand in front of the stove.
Soup was already prepared, so I decided to make something grilled-like with the meat of a wild boar we had apparently recently caught. It had been a while since I had been in the kitchen, but after a week and a bit, my body still remembered the sensations and I was able to proceed with the cooking with the benefit of the cheat.
It is a simple dish of thinly sliced meat, seasoned with fire wine and spices, but it is quite popular in our house.
As I finished preparing dinner, Helen came out from the guest room. We have room but no bedding, so she still have to use the guest room. Helen's clothes are those of Diana, the largest among the women.
Still, Helen is taller than me, a little shorter and more visible to eyes. Helen seemed to know what she was doing and was moping.
「Heh, isn't that weird?」
Diana is a countess, so the clothes she has are also very ornate, even if they are everyday clothes.
Maybe it's odd in this world that Helen wears it and it's not the right length, but I have a sense of the other world of mine. So, I personally don't find it odd at all.
So I'm going to be honest about that.
「I think it looks good on you.」
Helen's face turned red when she heard my words and she plopped down on a chair at the dining table.
As much as that, it brings everyone to the dinner table. I go around pouring wine into everyone's cups. When everyone spread out seated, we all raised our cups and said.
「Welcome to the Eizo Workshop, Helen!」
