「Now then, it's about time we start looking for an inn again. 」
The sun had already set outside.
「If you don't mind, please stay here. I'm sorry we have nothing else to offer you...」
「Is that okay?」
「The children would be delighted. 」
「That said, where could we sleep?」
「If it's okay, please use the bed I am using. 」
「No, no, we can't do that. You're ill so you have to sleep properly. 」
「Um, Seiji-sama. 」
「Yes?」
「Can't you take out my bed here?」
「Come to think of it, we did bring along Elena's bed. 」
Everyone had a 「?」 appear above their head. Getting Aria-san and the children to move to the side, the large bed from Elena's room appeared in the centre of the room.
「Wooowww! Magic!」
「Amazing, what a big bed...」
The children ran around in excitement with the appearance of the huge bed.
「With this size, can't Aria-san, Elena and all the children sleep on it?」
「Well yes, however, what about you, Seiji-sama?」
「I'll borrow Aria-san's bed and use that instead. 」
We ended up spending the night in the church, tucking the excited children into Elena's bed.
When I woke up the next morning, Aria-san had completely recovered.
Because Aria-san had only just recovered, we told her not to get out of bed and decided to help with the chores instead.
Miinya went out to buy more bread, Elena and the children did the cleaning and washing, and I was in charge of cooking breakfast, however I was in a bit of trouble with my remaining ingredients. There were cup noodles, instant noodles, canned food, and plastic-wrapped food, the kind of things that were for me alone.
Without much choice, I used 【Lettuce】, 【Tomato】 and other vegetables to make some 【Salad】. The salad dressing is my favourite 【Sesame Dressing】.
After that, I divided my only box of 【Cereal】 for the number of people we had. We would pour the 【Milk】 in when we eat.
After Miinya came back with the bread she bought, Aria-san called everyone to eat breakfast.
Aria-san and Elena seemed to like my salad, eating it with satisfaction.
The children seemed to like the 【Cereal】, or rather, the【Milk】, eating it along with bread pieces that were dipped in milk.
When we finished breakfast, I told everyone that it's time for us to go home.
「Eeeh!? Onii-san is leaving?」
「Please stay!」
「You can live here with us too!」
The children cried out unanimously.
「The next time I drop by, I'll bring more delicious food. Until then, be a good child and help out Aria-san. 」
「Yeah... Okay... but, you have to come again! It's a promise!」
「Sure, it's a promise! Also, Aria-san. With this, please give the children something good to eat. 」
I handed over a 100 Aurum gold coin to Aria-san.
「I really can't accept this much money!」
「This money is for the children. You don't want them to feel hungry again, do you?」
「I understand. Thank you very much. Everything you've done, I will never be able to forget your kindness. 」
「Well, it's fine if you remember until the next time we come. 」
「Okay!」
We could have actually used 【Teleportation】 then and there, but I didn't want to spoil the somber farewells so we walked out of the church while we waved our goodbye to Aria-san and the children.
「The children were cute weren't they?」
「Yeah, the next time we come, we'll have to bring a lot of delicious food. 」
「Yeah!」
After awhile, we found a deserted back alley. Because it's best that not many people witness 【Teleportation】.
「Well then, let's use 【Teleportation】 to go to my world. Hold on to me!」
「Yes!」
Elena embraced me.
It's enough to hold hands, but why the hugging!
Well, I can't say I'm not happy.
「【Teleportation】!」
I imagined the entryway of my home and invoked 【Teleportation】.
