LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 70
Chapter 70 – Tent Life 3
To go back a little, Aix, who had no idea that he was being pursued, stretched lazily and basked in the morning sun.
“Ah, this feels great.”
He opened the window and the refreshing scent of grass filled the air, making him feel exhilarated. As Aix went downstairs to get a drink from the refrigerator, an excited coachman called out to him.
“Aix-san! This place is like a paradise of the gods, with a shower, ice room, water bottle, and floor heating. It’s definitely better than any festival! Are we not going to stay home all day today?”
“Well, that’s a bit of a problem.”
Last night, he had let the coachman stay in the ghost house’s guest room, and he was so grateful. But for Aix, it was just an ordinary day.
Mmh, I hope he won’t be too disappointed with my refuse. But I don’t have a choice.
“There’s a massage chair over there. Please feel free to use it until we leave.”
“A massage chair?”
“You’ll see when you sit in it.”
“Thank you. I’ll gladly use it.”
Come to think of it, a long time ago, he tried to use the Earthquake (a device for massaging), but its power was too weak, so he ended up making a massage chair instead.
“Ahhh, this is really heaven,” exclaimed the coachman as he sat in the massage chair.
Aix drank his cold milk in satisfaction.
“Let’s bring some to Luca.”
He went upstairs and knocked on Luca’s door.
“Good morning, Luca.”
Luca, in her pajamas, made Aix’s heart skip a beat.
“Good morning, Aix.”
She smiled warmly.
“Hey, partner. It’s great that you brought fresh milk for the tea. I’ll brew it right away, so wait a moment, will you?”
“Thanks, Crazy Bear.”
He hadn’t intended to bring the milk specifically for Luca, but he would take advantage of the kindness anyway.
“But seriously, your magical gadgets keep the water boiling all day, partner. It’s amazing.”
Stirred one spoonful of sugar into the milk tea brewed by Crazy Bear.
A leisurely morning.
Indulging in the luxurious aroma.
Wow! The milk has a good richness. Plus, it resets the greasiness of the butter cookies, making it refreshing. I might even like milk tea.
Around when the tea was about half gone, Luca asked anxiously with wet lips.
“I’m sorry, Aix. I couldn’t go because I’m bad with crowds, even though I invited you.”
“Don’t worry about it, Luca. It was fun setting up the tent and everything.”
I laughed and denied it.
“But you came all this way. Is there anything you want to do, Aix?”
“Um, in that case, I lost my guild card, so I want to make a replacement certificate. I had trouble renting the tent.”
She blinked her eyes.
“Huh?? Oh, right, the guild master.”
“I already quit the guild, and that person seems to have given up and hasn’t come to the inn lately, so it’s okay. I wonder what he’s doing now.”
Luca, who was angry for my sake, is kind.
“He should just go to hell.”
“Hahaha, he’s a persistent person, but yeah, I don’t want to see him.”
Feeling a little refreshed.
“I’m sure Aix quitting caused trouble for the guild master. It serves him right. So, is Aix going to become a great mage?”
Huh? I’m the kind of guy who would be turned away from the magician’s hermitage. It would be embarrassing if I were mistaken for Mr. X from the newspaper. For the time being, maybe I’ll become a merchant.
Since I don’t like the adventurer’s guild, I’m trying to think of other options. Maybe I can live with just warm stones. No, that’s not possible. If I keep thinking about things like this, it’ll be like a scam.
I thought Luca was groaning and worrying, but when I looked up, she had made up her mind and had a determined expression.
“I’ll go with you too.”
“Um, Luca, you don’t have to force yourself to come with me. This is my problem.”
Luca pouted her lips.
“If I leave Aix alone, bad bugs will surely attach to him.”
“Huh? It’s okay.”
It’s too overprotective to talk about bugs. I’m not that weak. Oh, Crazy Bear is slapping my arm.
“Partner…the bad bugs are the girls who fall in love with you.”
“That’s right.”
“Huh? But I don’t know anyone in this town.”
Luca looked at me with a serious expression.
“It worries me even more.”
“It’s okay. Even if I make new friends, you’re my best friend, Luca.”
Luca began to tremble quietly, perhaps moved, and shook hands with Crazy Bear before spinning around like a discus thrower and throwing him like a missile.
“You idiot, Aix.”
I fell down feeling the stuffed animal hitting my face. Crazy Bear and I looked at each other.
“Isn’t that harsh?”
“Jeez, what a hit.”
No, you flew at me, but..
Am I becoming popular with the ladies? … No way.
