Chapter 27 - Family lovey-dovey
Elsa decided to buy the clothes she had tried on earlier.
She wasn't wearing armor now, but rather a white blouse and a long floral patterned skirt. However, she still had a sword at her waist.
"Because I'll need it in case of an emergency."
But this was the case.
While wearing pretty clothes, a sword was hanging at her waist was unusual. However, it was possible that this does not look fashionable.
"Even so, I didn't expect to be able to buy them for nearly half the original price."
"Fufu. My bargaining power was awesome, wasn't it?"
"Yeah. I've never seen anyone so skillful as you in my life. It was like magic."
Anna bargained at the clothing store I mentioned earlier.
At first, the clerk insisted "it is impossible", but as if she was manipulating the clerk, the price dropped amazingly.
She managed to get the clerk to agree to our demands.
Anna's bargaining skills were far more refined than when she was in the village. As expected of the youngest guild master.
"Papa, you're always praising Anna! I can also lower the price by brainwashing the clerk with magic---"
Meryl said something about "brainwashing" plainly and lightly.
"That just forcing things. It's important to have the price lowered as long as the other side is satisfied."
Anna shook her finger.
"So, please. A piggyback ride~ Give me a piggyback ride~"
"Oioi. If you sit here, you'll be in the way of others."
"Yeah. I know ?."
I see.
She was begging for it in anticipation that it would be a nuisance to the others if I didn't give her a piggyback...
Meryl. She had calculated about it.
"There's no choice then...."
"Yay ?"
I reluctantly decided to give Meryl a piggyback ride.
without hesitation, she threw herself on my back. She was light.
"Papa's back is warm ?"
"Geez. Papa is too soft toward Meryl."
Anna sighed and shrugged her shoulders in exasperation..
I could only smile at her. When I do so...
Anna hugged my right arm.
"Ee?"
"It's my day off. I want to be spoiled by papa too. I'm going to make you indulge a lot of my selfishness."
"Elsa too, why don't you the same thing as Anna?"
"I, I do not want to....... If I do, my hands will be full. As a swordsman, I can't be weakhearted."
"Again~. You make too much excuse, you know."
"That's right. It's okay for today, isn't it? Like me, when you are in a superior position, you can't take advantage of others, right? Every day, you have to be on guard and tense. Papa is the only one who can spoil you, you know."
Anna's words might have touched Elsa's heart.
Elsa moved her hand over her mouth.
"Chichiue. That... Do you mind if I do?"
"Of course, I do not."
"Thank you very much. Now, if you'll excuse me......!"
Elsa slowly wrapped her arms around my left arm.
And softly... she leaned her head on my arm.
"I feel very relieved when I have chichiue by my side...."
"Good to hear it."
We were walking together with the whole family.
The passersby were looking at it.
"Hey look. That guy. He's having three beauties with him."
"It's a harem. A Harem."
"To have such beauties by his side, how envious. I'd like to be a member of that harem too."
Apparently, they didn't think we were father and daughters.
And the last person was somehow dangerous...
"We. It seems that we are considered by them to be lovers, not parents and children."
"A, a lover...!?"
"Fufu. Papa, you look young, so it's not surprising that people think that. It feels better to me."
"I and papa are lovers. Fuhehe ?"
The girls seemed pleased.
I thought they'll hate it.
"Ah. It's a stall. Papa. I want a crepe! I want one with lots of whipped cream and strawberries!"
Meryl said, pointing to the crepe stall.
"Fufu. Sounds good. I think I'll have one."
"I think so. What about you, Elsa?"
"I, I'll pass. If I eat sweets, I'll gain weight, and then I won't be able to move as agilely."
Elsa said so
"I was wondering, Anna and Meryl often eat sweets at home too... So, how come you two don't get fat?"
"Hmm. Because I use my head every day at work?"
"Because I won't get fat even if I eat it"
"Aside from Anna, I envy Meryl...! As for me, the more I eat, the more weight I gained."
"Elsa, you've been slender as always. you know."
I said.
"Well, it's okay for today, isn't it?"
I offered the crepe I bought.
I thought that Elsa had always wanted to eat one.
It was inevitable that she would eat it when it was my offer.
"If chichiue says so... then I'll take your offer."
She took the crepe and ate it with a bite. At that moment, her eyes widened in surprise.
"This is??soft! this tastes very mild!"
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't that mean it tastes very good?"
"Dunno. Let's all share a bite?"
We fed each other bites of crepes.
I couldn't help but smiled when I saw the cream on the girls' mouths. I knew it was a good thing that we had moved to the Royal Capital.
