This time past 16 o’clock. The time band that increases with adventurers who returned to Rude Tavern.

Long ago almost me and the two helpers were turning so very busy, but now Pafa and Hiero, and Micon and Scon help so can rest.

And the lover companions come to help so Nimi’s burden sharply lessens. Could teach the two helpers cooking and management in detail.

This the two helpers also glad. Nimi is relieved.

After many years worried whether disliked if taught in detail, but the two who laughed because want to approach me only gratitude.

Even now beside me cooking the two helpers are looking at the hands with serious expressions. End up smiling in a troubled way and speak.

“The two’s cooking is also sufficiently delicious?”

“The landlady says so, but if try tasting myself totally different.”

“That is right. Every time wonder why but the answer does not come out.”

“Changes that much?”

“Uun. Expression is difficult but… no gentle taste.”

“Understand! Does not, right!”

The two who started laughing looking at faces. With a side eye I stirred the pot while smiling gladly.

The two’s cooking skill is skilled enough that even I eat and think delicious. Actually consulted with Erika-san and asked the two whether not open a shop?

But without even putting thinking time refused by the two. Asked the reason and the words that answered I will probably not forget for life.

I recalled the two’s words and laughed, kusu. “We just want to become help for the landlady who reached out a hand when hard.” “If want to open a shop want to rely on other than us! We have no intention of leaving the landlady’s side!” the two’s smiles that answered unforgettable.

Blessed… the night heard that words rarely did evening drink with Raide. Really glad.

After plating the finished cooking on plates. I turned my face to the two, tilted my head, smiled, and spoke.

“The two are gentle. So the current me is. From the heart grateful.”

“…Sly the landlady. Said such things definitely glad.”

“Ahaha! Matches the instructor!”

The two laughed in a troubled way. I put one hand on the cheek and tilted my head.

The two said “Nothing.” still floating smiles put the cooking I plated on a wooden tray and carried to the floor.

Conveyed my honest feeling, but said something odd?

I was tilting my head. Heard a sound of running, pata pata, toward the kitchen. By the footsteps understood who and I smiled.

“Nimi. Hiero returned. Properly brought.”

“Thank you, Pafa.”

To Pafa who hugged a wooden tray with both hands and entered the kitchen and reported. I smiled and conveyed thanks. She smiled fluffy and ran up and hugged.

Hugged back Pafa’s body and gently stroked the head with one hand. She buried her face in my chest and letting out a breath as if relieved.

Noticed the look of the floor that became quiet. Probably entered inside the tavern and I overflow a smile.

I stroked Pafa’s side hair as if combing once then parted the body and went out to the floor. Setenia who entered the tavern pushed on the back by Hiero was rarely flustered.

“Nimi! Setenia. Brought! Naaaaa! Good scent!”

“A little. Hiero-chan!”

“Fufufu. Several days. Setenia-san.”

Hiero seems hugging from behind Setenia and cheek-rubbing on the back. Setenia is turning her face sideways and dyeing cheeks red.

Setenia wrapping a dress with a V-neck that opens the chest and a slit. Even Nimi who is the same sex sees and seems captivated by the allure.

Such her dyeing cheeks red and floating a gentle smile so the inside of the tavern becoming quiet is also nodded.

Setenia-san who was called by me turned her face this way, smiled with a troubled face, and spoke.

“Nimi. Surprised. What on earth is that person.”

“Fufu. But do not get bored?”

“No way to get bored. Such. Haa… end up thinking if a little younger.”

Pulled by the hand by Hiero and taken to a nearby table seat. Setenia who sat down crossed legs and put a cheek rest.

To Setenia saying while smiling wryly and letting out a small breath. I put one hand on the cheek, smiled, and spoke.

“What are you saying. Setenia-san is still young now. Look. Women and men are captivated by Setenia-san?”

“…Already. Feel like cannot win against Nimi.”

“Me also do not have the guts like Setenia-san so respecting?”

“Surrender. Do not praise me too much. Become embarrassed unbefitting the age. You all praise me too much.”

Setenia smiled with a troubled face. Lightly raised both hands and shook her head sideways while swaying the chest.

Said something that troubles? Looked at faces with Pafa who brought Setenia’s drink and tilted my head.

Drank a mouthful of the fruit juice Pafa brought. Took out one letter from the valley of the chest with one hand and shook, furi furi, Setenia.

That is the letter Hiero delivered. The invitation to today’s sleepover party.

The one who wrote is resting on the 3rd floor of the annex now. Relia and Tia, and Milish who has already arrived finished with the three.

Hiero hugged, mugyu, from the side of Setenia and cheek-rubbing on the side hair while starting to talk setting aside her floating a smile with a troubled face.

“Setenia. At first did not believe and hard! But when showed the letter believed!”

“Hiero-chan. Even saying Raide is special there are also things cannot immediately believe?”

“Ara. How did believe?”

I sat beside Setenia-san and talked. She let out a small breath and offered the stationery.

Fine to look? Asked with gaze and nodded so confirmed inside and I hid the mouth with one hand and laughed.

The three seals pressed at the end of the content. Setenia-san taught floating a troubled smile that this is the reason believed.

Did not think the seals shown by the three at the lunch time Milish arrived were pressed. Moreover the look of Setenia when confirmed this floated in the eyes and laughed.

“Doing business straddling other countries, but other country’s top… that seal is not something often seen.”

“But if that seal was not there Setenia maybe did not come!”

“Hiero. Setenia is not that cold-hearted. Because gentle comes. Right?”

“…Feel like cannot win against Hiero-chan and Pafa-chan either.”

Setenia dyed cheeks red and slightly averted her face. That reaction cute and Hiero smiled and hugged, mugyu.

Pafa also smiled fluffy then hugged Setenia over Hiero and said smiling to her “Already heavy?”

Aa… what a happy sight.

Recently too happy. Cannot feel at ease if not look at Raide’s face and the lover companions after waking every morning.

Thinking such feelings noticed being stared by the three and tilted my head wondering.

“Putting out a happy atmosphere. Nimi is also cute.”

“…Setenia also cannot say about people?”

“That. Hiero also?”

“Eh? E. Ee. Different. Not doing.”

“…Fuuun?”

“Nnnyuuuuu!”

To Pafa floating a smile fluffy as if teasing. Hiero started hitting Pafa with both hands, pos pos, as if protesting.

Setenia-san narrowed her eyes at the two’s look and floated a smile. I also smiled happily.

The inside of the tavern is filled with usual fun voices. Said by the two helpers fine to go up.

Lowered my head to be allowed to indulge in the two’s words. Stopped midway and said with smiles “The landlady works too hard.” “And too gentle!”

“Nimi is mysterious. I am older but end up wanting to indulge.”

“Ara. Me also want to indulge in Setenia-san so even?”

“Already a sinful woman. Nimi is.”

While walking toward the annex said by Setenia-san smiling wryly. I tilted my head and smiled in a troubled way.

Not a joke. Really want to try indulging in Setenia-san but… no good?

By the way Pafa and Hiero were frolicking until arriving at the 3rd floor of the annex. Made me and Setenia-san laugh.
