Chapter 243: Let's Go To The Beach
?Al, have you told them my request??
Just as I was telling him about the importance of beds and sofas to Eric, Sylvio-niisan approaches us and whispered into my ears.
Ahh, I completely forgot.
?Sorry, I’ll try asking them now?
?Please?
Though Sylvio-niisan was aware that I completely forgot about it, he didn’t really care about it.
Feeling a little guilty that I forgot the promise we made before leaving, I turn to Eric and ask him.
?Hmm, should I ask my father for a bed then? No, even if we suddenly buy a bed for me to use alone, they’re going to reject it. The other day, I got a new sword?
Was it because I talked with him with such passion? Eric is now muttering something with a serious look on his face.
?What about you push out the idea that the sofa can be used by everyone??
?I see! That might work!?
?It’s certainly will be difficult for Egar-san to reject if you ask now, since he has us as guests here, right? That’s right, saying something like ‘the sofa in the guest room is shabby so the guests can doubt the dignity of the house’. He’ll definitely nod if you raise some reasons that it won’t be appropriate to entertain guests?
?……o, ooh?
?And when you buy a high-class sofa, you can then pull in Luna-san and Natasha-sa??I mean, just use an opinion that will bring sympathy. You should also explain to them the importance of beds and make a firm request for a bed for each of you?
?Y, youreally can think of some unscrupulous means, aren’t you!?……but, I can see the image of that succeeding in doing so, I’ll use it at the right time?
That’s cause I was given orders to allow unreasonable projects to go through many times in my past life. So I’m a bit proud of my ability to use all things as reasons.
Compared with the unreasonable projects back then, this kind of problem is easy.
After easily teaching Eric, I proceed to ask him about Sylvio-niisan’s matter to demand payment for my teaching.
?Eric, I have a favor to ask of you, is that okay??
?What is it? I’m telling you first, but I don’t have money, all right??
Eric directly told me with a cautious expression on his face, maybe because my wording was bad.
?I’m not going to ask for money?
?Then it’s fine, so what is it??
When I told him that, Eric’s caution lessen.
Even so, he’s still not completely at ease, this guy is always so cautious.
?Is there a ship here??
?Fishing is flourishing here. There are no impressive ships like those merchant ships, but there are a lot of small fishing boats you know? Could it be that you want to go out to the sea??
?Right. This is Sylvio-niisan’s first time seeing the sea, so I want to let him ride a boat?
Somehow when I only listen to the words, it feels like what a doting father says, it’s embarrassing. But, I have promised him, so I have to negotiate it for him.
?……hmm, that’s not a problem?
?Thank you very much!?
Hearing Eric’s consent, Sylvio-niisan happily bow and said that.
?……really not similar?
Eric muttered after comparing the pure Syvio-niisan with me.
?Well, Sylvio-niisan is like Nord-tousan you know?
?He looks the same, but there is a big difference in personality?
Knock it off Eric. Your serious reply is hurting my feelings.
?When is the ship going to be ready??
?We can even go now, as for tomorrow?? I heard there’s going to be a joint practice so it’s impossible tomorrow. So it’s either today or the day after tomorrow?
So Nord-tousan is not telling any white lie or threatening us, there was a real joint training after all.
If that’s the case, today is the only day we can recharge. Let’s just go out to the sea the day after tomorrow and slowly spend our time today, yeah?
As I was thinking like that, there was Sylvio-niisan in front of me, with a terribly sparkling smile on his face. That is an expression full of anticipation, and his whole body felt like saying he wanted to go right now.
?……Al, I want to go now! ?
I can’t betray Sylvio-niisan’s feeling of anticipation on his face, so I can only shake my head - vertically - to him.
?
?Al and Sylvio, where are you going??
Eleonora-neesan called out to us as I left the room together with Eric and Sylvio-niisan, guess she’s just got back from the bedroom. There is also Luna-san behind her.
?We’re thinking of going to the sea to ride a boat. Are Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san going to train??
I’m really concerned about it since the two of them have wooden swords for some reason.
?Right. We have free time after all, so I was thinking of inviting Al and the others to join us?
That was dangerous! I’m glad I didn’t take it slow and keep staying in the room! It’s thanks to Sylvio-niisan who told me that he wanted to immediately head out.
Sure enough, I think my judgment to obediently nodded back there was the right choice.
?What to do? We’re going to the sea though, want to come? Or do you guys want to practice with them??
We’re not going to train no matter what. In order to show that intention, so I said it straight out as if to discourage them. This is also insurance since if we were to refuse Eleonora-neesan then she will just sulk.
?To the beach??
?……let’s all go to the sea since this is a rare opportunity. We can even train when we return. And besides, we can eat dishes that use fresh seafood if we go to the sea?
?That’s true!?
Eleonora-neesan was worried over our decision, but then she quickly jump on Luna-san’s suggestion. I guess the answer has already been decided from the beginning since the time for her to worry about us was so short, huh?
I heard that sometimes, a girl needs a reason to act or something. I’m sure it was also something of that sort this time.
That being the case, Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san were added to our party.
And when we told both of our parents that we will go out to the sea, it's been decided that Mina will also join us as a chaperone.
However, that was in name only since everyone understood it was a consideration to simply show Mina the sea.
So our party became six people as we left the mansion, and we start walking to the beach in a crowd.
The distance from the mansion to the beach is very short and we can see the shore immediately after we walk for a bit.
And after we climb over it, the view of the beautiful beach and sea opened up into our view.
?Uwaaa! It’s the sea!?
Seeing the sea for the first time, she raised her voice in excitement.
Even Sylvio-niisan who saw the sea from up-close - instead of through the window - also stared at the sea as if entranced by its beauty.
Eric and Luna-san somehowlook at them with lukewarm gazes, maybe it’s because the reaction of the two people who see the sea for the first time is so pure.
?……we also had such a time when we’re like that, huh?
?Yeah?
The two of them quietly mutter lines like that of old men.
But, hearing those two saying those lines, I completely understood that this brother and sister have a good relationship.
The wind becomes a bit strong reaching this place, and the drifting air has the smell of salt in it.
The waves are breaking on the shore and retreating, the sound of waves echoes *zazaa?n*.
I wonder if it’s because it’s quiet, unlike the port city of Esport? I can hear the sounds of the waves more clearly.
While being blinded by the glittering water surface that was reflecting the light of the sun, we continue to walk toward the beach.
I wonder if it’s because Sylvio-niisan and Mina are so excited that they can’t endure it any longer? They start running ahead of us.
?It’s a lot harder to walk here?
And as we also walk as if to chase after them, Eleonora-neesan - who experience the sandy beach for the first time - frowned and raised her leg.
It’s different from the normal soil since it is fine sand, so you can get tripped each time you walk.
Especially for Eleonora-neesan - who walks without knowing about it - as it looks like her shoes already had sands in them.
?……it’s softer than normal soil. So people who are not used to it should walk careful???
?Hebuu!??
?Are you okay!? Mina!??
?……or you will fall over like that maid-san?
Luna-san expressionlessly says while pointing her finger at Mina.
Hey Mina, as a maid of the Slowlett house, can’t you show some appropriate appearance of dignity?
I’m amazed in spite of myself after seeing Mina with her maid uniform being covered in sands.
Oh well, I didn’t have any expectation that Mina will have the dignity as a maid or something.
?I see, it’s different from when you walk on a normal road, you have to properly ‘grasp’ the ground?
?……it’s just like that. And when you run here, you have to firmly raise your thighs. Since it’s using different muscles from normal, the burden on your body also increases although it’s great for training your legs and loins?
?So the reason that Luna’s legs are stable is that you trained in this place, huh?
And thus, I strongly felt that the conversation between Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san was not a conversation that ordinary women will talk about on the beach.
