「That’s right Onii-chan.」
I’ll absolutely never forget yesterday’s feast
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Even though the rabbit and boar meat had been roasted first, the children made quick work of the food, as if they were hungry carnivores.
After the children finished having a meal, they became bored and started to play a game of tag.
Without myself even realising, I also, became involved in their little game.
I stopped entertaining them when I found out that the Bear’s meat was ready.
The hood was a hindrance so I tried to take it off, but the children beat me to it due to their curiosity and mischief.
Was black hair always so unusual? Because I feel like Sophina and her mother is staring daggers into my soul. What an uncomfortable feeling.
Not before long, I had finished my meal and once again played the game of tag with the children.
Afterwards, the parents accompanied by their children said a few words of gratitude to me and went home earlier than usual.
When all that was over, I quieted down and began to hear various things about the village.
While sitting and listening into their conversations, my bond with the villagers seemed to have deepened, as they had placed more trust into me and my actions.
As I was collecting information, I had heard and confirmed the whereabouts of the next town.
Because I was not able to have conversations that much on earth, everything feels quite unfamiliar.
In the meantime, when I was attacked by the nagging feeling of sleepiness, I was told to stay in Sophina’s house.
I opposed it at first, but was soon defeated by the pressure put on by Sophina and her mother, so I had no further say in the matter.
I wouldn’t perform an erotic act, even if they permitted me to stay!
Since I got up early, I toyed around with the Sophina’s cheeks while she was sleeping. That’s nothing serious, right?
I couldn’t know that her cheeks were so springy if I never touched them, right?
I swear, that was the only thing I touched.
By the way, I try to present my face to the public whenever possible.
The reasoning behind that, was due to Sofina’s 『I think you look cool if you don’t wear it』 comment last night.The way she said it so abruptly made my face go red, and I became embarrassed because of it.
Everyone also said the same as well. I had no choice but to take it off if such a cute girl insisted.
I’m definitely not a lolicon. Nuh uh.
Before long, the moment presented itself to the doorstep.
「naa, Sophina, I intend to return soon, after I finished my travels.」
Then, Sophina expressed a crying face as expected.
「Why? Do you dislike here, Onii-chan?」
It seems that I’m weak to crying face as expected.
「I really like this village.」
「Then why are you leaving?」
And she finally started to cry .
I slowly embrace Sophina closely and pat her delicate back.
I’m worried on how I’m going to sell it.
「You shouldn’t say something selfish Sophina, okay? The person who didn’t do what she was told is… huh? Come to think of it, you never introduced yourself?」
(TLNote: What Claire’s calls our MC is Kimi in the last chapters which means Mr or you, but here she calls him Anata, which for more familiar and what you call to your husband :D)
「Aa, because I was not asked. I mean, you also didn’t say your name right?」(MC also used Anata here)
「Because I was also not asked.」
(NexEdit: wew lad, think we found the dense couple.)
「My name is Kuroya, once again, best regards.」
「My name is Claire, It is I who should say so, best regards ♪」
And she winked.
I realised in that moment that I was fascinated by her actions.
「Don’t go, Onii-chan… please don’t go…」
「Sophina, wouldn’t Kuroya despise those that are selfish people??」
Then, the shoulder of Sophina’s wince.
「Do you dislike selfish people, Onii-chan?」
Her teary and upturned eyes seemed to pierce through my emotions, making them crumble.
Though an awkward response, I nodded slowly.
Then I wiped her tears and Sophina separated from me saying 「I won’t say selfish things anymore!」
「Sophie, since I think you won’t Kuroya for a while, you better take the first move against Kuroya before its too late.」
(NexEdit: Cue attack on titan ost)
Eh? What? Take the first move… While I was pondering the meaning behind those words, I something soft touches my cheeks. Both of my cheeks.
For an indefinite time, I would be separated from Sophina and Claire.
I hurriedly stood up the moment that the lips of the two people parted from my cheeks, my face covered by the hood in a movement faster than lightning. I found myself turning away from the two.
Claire began to mock me after seeing my reaction.
「Don’t be shy, good grief, this why such boys are…」
Sophina followed suit, poking fun at me.
「Onii-chan, are you embarrassed ? Show your face~」
(NexEdit: Wait for it…)
And I said to deal with it.
(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

Following that I said「Anyway, I am indebted. I’ll come back again if Sophina grows up to be a good girl.」
Not wanting to delay my departure any further, I left the house.
And when I went reached the gate of the village, I looked back.
To my surprise, a lot of villagers had gathered, including Sophina and Claire. Everyone is smiling while waving their hands. I said to everyone in the village in a large voice,
「Lets meet again!!」and waved my ahnd once, before officially leaving Napisu Village.
And my Solitary journey begun.
