Chapter 38: The Squirrel

On July 28, 197 in the continental calendar, Jinyao, Saturday, light rain turned cloudy. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Even in the summer, the weather can be like this, and Days is worried about whether the crops here will grow well.

Continuous light rain, continuous light rain.

Why can't you just finish it all at once? Days felt that the gods of the northern gods who were in charge of the weather must be very sentimental.

By the afternoon the weather was finally clear, no, it wasn't sunny yet, it was cloudy.

Her Royal Highness Princess Birodius happily announced, "Probably this rainy season has passed. It's going to be sunny for a while. ”

After saying that, she said goodbye to Days and left, saying that she was going back to prepare for hunting.

Days finally breathed a sigh of relief. When I think back to those ridiculous things yesterday, I don't feel helpless.

Yesterday when playing cards, Days was also pulled together, but Her Royal Highness Princess Birodis said to play the game of kings. That is, the loser must unconditionally obey one of the orders of the winning side.

Dyce's card skills are not generally bad. So, first poured tea for each of the girls present, it was a circle, because he lost many times. Then there was the recitation of the psalms, then the singing, then the dancing with the bow and arrows, then the acrobatics with magic, and of course more excessively, for the sake of the reputation of the young ladies, Dyce was strictly forbidden to speak it.

Of course, even without this agreement, Days would not dare to say it. Something like being ridden as a horse is something you can't say under any circumstances.

Days walked in the mountains and forests. It's wet everywhere, and only on some rocks, some white colors appear to indicate dryness. It's a walk, it's really rare, I've been here for so many days, and I haven't been to the mountains well.

Ouch.

There was a pain in the head, and then I noticed that something in the tree flashed by.

"Huh?" Covering the pain, Days saw a pine cone that had eaten pine nuts fall to the ground.

Ah, what a hospitality. Days was starting to be helpless again. Her younger sister, Anna, has the gift of an animal whisperer, and she is loved by all animals. In comparison, as an elder brother, he is more miserable. I don't know how, Days will often accidentally offend some animals and then be tossed in various ways. I don't know what happened this time, but Days felt ...... Throwing a pine cone is enough.

But Days was completely wrong about the situation.

When he was smashed on the head for the fourth time, he found that the pine cone was still the same one he had at the beginning. That is, the guy in the tree was absolutely deliberate!

In order to prevent another attack, the pine cone was stomped into the thick layer of fallen leaves.

It was as if he heard a squirrel screaming angrily, but Days felt that he was really innocent, and he had been hit in the head four times by a pine cone, and it was not too much to do that now.

More attacks soon followed. There are more jumping figures in the trees, and there are more kinds of things falling down. What nut shells are still the most ordinary, small stones, bark, bones or something......

Days was glad that they probably didn't like the dirty feces as well, so they didn't take out the kind of thing that scared Days when he saw it.

But even if there was no thing that made Dyce the most terrifying, such a dense attack still made Dyce flee.

I don't know how long he escaped, but Days found that the figure around him who was chasing him at the beginning disappeared. In other words, the squirrels who were provoked for no reason were kind of let themselves go.

Whew――

Let's hope it doesn't happen again, like snakes and the like - wow!

Cryomy!

Finally used it, even if it froze that colorful guy. It's wondering, why are there snakes in places like the north?

Somewhat embarrassed, and seems to be lost. In that case, let's just take a walk. If you really can't do it, you can use your flying skills to fly to a high place and position yourself.

"Huh? Dyce-san? ”

"Ah, Rita...... Senpai. ”

Miss Rita's name for Days changed naturally, and Days was still a little difficult. After all, this is already the third title, Teacher Moonlett, Teacher Rita, Rita, Miss Rita, Senior Sister Rita...... It seems to be far more than three titles.

"Like...... It's a bit embarrassing. ”

"yes, all sorts of things happened."

"It seems to be safe, do you need the medicine from the senior sister? It's free. ”

"Oh, no."

It's really cold, compared to wasting a lot of potions for a little cold from Days in the beginning...... Once again, Days had a feeling of helplessness.

The world has changed so much, and the world of adults is really complicated.

"Thank you for your concern." Days expressed his gratitude.

"That's right." Keep your head down.

"What is Senior Sister busy with?"

"I'm collecting specimens and seeds."

"Huh?"

"There are a lot of plants here that are not found in the middle of the continent, and they are very peculiar in nature, they are not mentioned in the plant encyclopedia, I need to go back and study them carefully."

Ah, sure enough, it's the school's potions teacher, and even outside he still thinks about potions research.

"It's a big gain."

"Well, yes. Probably because they were favored by foreign gods, they are very special, and some of them work very well. ”

"Is Senior Sister Rita busy with this outside every day?"

"Well, sometimes I will accompany Senior Roland to look at real estate, after all, I am also one of the investors."

"Ah, that's good."

"What's so good?"

"The good thing is...... It's all good. ”

"Okay, okay, Dyce-san is still the same."

"Huh?"

"That's itβ€”Dyce-san is still what Dyce-san means."

"Of course I'm myself."

A man came from the other side.

"How's it going, Rita."

"I've discovered three new plants!"

"Ah, Senior Roland."

"You're here too, Dyce."

"Well, I got lost just now, and I just happened to come here."

"The terrain here is really ...... Complex. "Comforting a little reluctant.

Miss Rita said like a child: "How's it going, should you praise me?" ”

"Well, Rita is the best pharmacist."

"I'm not, I'm the best potions master, but not the most powerful apothecary."

"Ah, in my eyes, Rita is the most powerful pharmacist."

"Okay."

It looks like it's happy. I don't know what's going on, but Days thinks that the current Teacher Rita is the most real.

"I'll go back first."

"Ah, sorry, sorry, just go back down this road." Senior Roland kindly pointed in the direction.

"Thank you, senior."

Teacher Rita began to happily introduce her newly discovered plant: "Look, the lines on it look like dragon scales......

A person gradually drifts away, walking, walking, walking, although the senior said that you can return to the villa by following this road. Days found himself seemingly lost again.

After using magic to make himself staggered into the sky, he still couldn't see what he wanted to see from the foggy surroundings. I had to try to go back the way I came.

Not good! It seems to have allowed myself to see things that I shouldn't see...... Senior Roland, is this kissing Teacher Rita?

Oh, what a sweet thing. And Teacher Rita also looks happy......

It seems that Dyce's behavior made the squirrel gentlemen just now unhappy, and Dyce was hit on the head again. Seeing those faint figures in the trees, Days chose to flee again.

Of course to run awayβ€”no, it should be to say leave, how can a gentleman run away, so to leave, to leave must be kept to a minimum.

After finally getting rid of the squirrels' perseverance, Days came to a mountain villa. But it wasn't Dandiliel and Miss Impus's house, it was someone else's. Fortunately, he still brought some money with him when he went out, and Deis asked people to take him back to his accommodation.

"Ah, how could Young Master Days be so embarrassed!" Melina and Sophia rushed out of the room, worriedly surrounding Days and asking this and that.

But being abused by a squirrel is such a thing, and it's too ugly to say it, so Days just laughed and said it was okay.

"It's okay, aren't you hurt?" Melina asked, still worried.

"There were no injuries." I think my heart is a little hurt, and my chest is a little uncomfortable, but I don't know why.

Was it because he was inexplicably abused twice by a squirrel, or did he see Miss Rita, who was originally his girlfriend, being kissed by Senior Roland?

Maybe both?

But either way, Days didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to say it.

Teacher Rita wasn't his girlfriend in the first place, Miss Cecilia was what he recognized, and Days touched the magic ring on the middle finger of his left hand, feeling that he seemed to be better.

"It's good that there are no injuries...... Ah, Sophia bought some game from Orion, and I made it for everyone in the evening. ”

"Ah, that's great, it's been a long time since I've eaten Sister Melina's cooking."

Days has been cared for by Melina since she was a child, a girl two years older than herself, who knows all kinds of housework and is very good at cooking.

"Sister Melina?" Melina blinked, "That's what it used to be called." ”

"Hmm." Days knew what Melina was talking about, something that only Days and Melina knew.

Melina's food is very delicious, and when Days was a child, he called Melina's sister and threatened to make Melina his bride in the future, and he ate her dishes every day.

"I'm going to prepare." Melina saw Dyce's face and knew he must have remembered, "Let's let Sister Sophia take a shower for you." ”
