……… I proceeded to the washroom, filled a wash bowl with water and washed my face.
There is always a cotton cloth by the side, so I wiped my face with it.
The textile industry hasn’t invented proper towels yet…… I do miss the soft feeling of the towel, but there’s nothing I can do about ancient technical issues.
There’s nothing like face lotion either, but I have confirmed the existence of sponge cucumbers, so I intend to do something about it one way or another.
Quietly leaving to the balcony, I looked down……… stone pavement spread all over the bottom.
Getting over the railing, I lightly jumped down.
I ran to the grounds of an open townhouse.
The clear air before the daybreak felt really good.
｢I’d like some sneakers………… I won’t say anything about marathon shoes, okay~｣
I complained under my nose.
Jiktabi……… no use, they wouldn’t last for long.
Tatta tatta
The sound of my rhythmic casual jog feels good, but the boots are too heavy………… they are not…………
Accustomed? I don’t think so……… the leather of this world………… I don’t understand it well, but it has varieties.
Leather products are made from cattle, horses, sheep, and monsters…… these monsters seem to have many shapes and forms……
The boots I am currently wearing ow are made from a type of monster! They are light and durable! With a correction! It seems……… what is this “correction” by the way!?
Let’s leave the difficult things for later.
I feel pretty good running, does my body remember it? I have completely switched to running.
I don’t have to think anything, my body is moving on its own. Convenient!
……………… Yes, the military drill building has appeared before me.
As expected of the routine workers! I am not happy though!
Haah……… I feel depressed……… the resounding sounds are too heavy………
Ahh~ don’t approach the entrance-
Bam!
｢We have been awaiting you! Elise-sama!｣
Eh……… no way……………
He came by vigorously jumping out.
A robust man is……… wearing only pan-……… no! In a loincloth………
The door of the entrance opened and the man kneeling on the stone pavement bowed their heads.
Three people on each side, six people were bowing to me.
What do I do……… am I supposed to address them?
What did I call them again?
……… Ku……… don’t think! You will somehow manage by letting to things take a natural course!
Anyhow, let’s enter!
｢I kept you waiting. There’s going to be a punishment if you were slacking off｣
Gya!
Am I a Queen or something-!
｢Yes!｣
｢Thank you very much!｣
｢We have been waiting for you!｣
｢I’m so happy!｣
｢Woof!｣
｢Please, punish me!｣
Each and every one of them!
Woof! What do you mean by that! And yet…… I found that answer to be good in the corner of my heart………
