Three days after the assault from the three siblings . I was hiding in a forest near the village . Neil had come alone the next day . I didn’t meet him . But he came again the next day . Again alone . I ignored him . But I couldn’t leave my house . So it was very inconvenient .
As such, my mood wasn’t too great and I couldn’t do my daily routine . Thus, in order to regain my peaceful days, I gave up and decided to make the medicine . But I have no intention of giving it to Neil . I dislike him . So I decided I would give it to Coco instead .
And so I was currently on the lookout wondering when Coco would appear .
Yep, I look like a really suspicious person . So it’s great that I have the Stealth skill . Once I find her I’ll report back . Let’s tighten my hood and secure the perimeter!

Anyways, the village sure was quiet . There were very few people walking about . I wonder how their life looks like .
……It really is empty . And Coco still hasn’t shown up yet .
Even after waiting for a while no one had passed by . Why?

Probably because of that . Everyone was likely still in bed . Most likely they couldn’t leave home because they were too sick .
Of course! I’m being stupid … . . But as I was about to give up and head home, I saw a face that I recognized . First villager discovered! It’s Collie .
That child was difficult to deal with . She’s quite vigorous . The type of person who pushes others to listen to their story . It’s probably not possible to have a conversation with her . Or at least not a proper one . And so I decided to tail behind her without talking to her .
After following her for a bit, Collie entered a house . It looked like she had gone out to draw water . So now I just have to wait for Coco to come out . Alright, come on, Coco!
“Big-sis witch?”
Oh, I found her . Or rather she found me! She was able to evade my eyes!
“What’s wrong? What is big-sis witch doing here?”
“Um… . . I’m not a witch, okay?”
“Ah… . . um, I’m sorry . ”
“It’s alright, just be more careful from now on . ”
… . . I hope she’ll stop calling me witch after this .
“Um, so……why is big-sis w-, doing here?”
She just said witch again . Or she almost did .
“Right, I brought this . I managed to gather enough materials . But only enough for this one time . ”
“Eh……is it really okay!? Isn’t this supposed to be very rare?”
“Sorry, but not so loud . Could you please speak more quietly?”
“Ah, I’m sorry……but is it really okay?”

“Yes… . . but I would be happy if you could tell him not to come anymore . To be honest, it’s becoming annoying . ”
“Ah… . . that is, um, I’m sorry . ”
……Probably . He was probably standing outside my house at this moment too .
“Okay, then can I rely on you to pass on the message?”
“Yes!”
I hope with this my peaceful days will return . If he continues to come bother me then I will move . I’ve already decided upon that .
“Well then, I will be returning home . ”
“Okay, um, thank you!”
“It’s fine . Ah, can I ask you for one more thing? There are various materials for this medicine that can’t be obtained during this season . So this really is the last one . So even if you want more, it really is impossible to make it anymore . If other people ask you, could you tell them that?”
“……Yes, I understand . I will make sure to tell everyone . ”
……You don’t have to go out of your way to tell everyone you know?
“Right, then see you?”
“Okay, bye-bye!”
Now then, let’s go home . I don’t want to do anything else for today .
But as expected, when I arrived back home, he was standing outside . So I went out gathering until the evening before returning home .
Several days later .
KNOCK KNOCK!

There was the sound of someone pounding on the door . Who is it so early in the morning! I’m sleepy… . . let me sleep… . .
KNOCK KNOCK!
KNOCK KNOCK! KNOCK KNOCK!
Shut up! I can’t sleep!
I got out of bed and went down to the living room . When I was about to open the door, I noticed that I was still in my sleepwear and activated Storage to instantly change my clothes . It’s great since I could save myself the trouble of having to change my clothes one by one . Storage sure was convenient .
After changing clothes, I unlocked the door and opened it . Ah! It’s bright outside!
“Ah…… . ”
Ugh, it’s Neil . Why did he come so early in the morning? Usually, he would come around noon .
“Uhh, that, um–”
…… . What’s with his reaction . It’s different from usual . What’s with him?
“Ah—, that uhh…”
Ah . I’m not hiding my face! I hurriedly slammed the door shut . I activated storage and equipped my cloak . Then I pulled on the hood before opening the door again .
“……Good morning . ”
“Oh, uh, good morning . ”
That sure was close . I barely managed to avoid catastrophe . Or at least, I hope I did .
“What are you doing here so early in the morning? Didn’t you get the message?”
“No, I heard it . But I just really wanted to say thanks . That’s why I left home around the time everyone was still sleeping to come here . ”
“Hah, is that so . Then I accept your gratitude, please return home . ”
“Wait! I just really wanted to thank you!” I heard from my sister about how the medicine couldn’t be made anymore . Even going out of your way to bring something so valuable… . . ”
“Yes, I understand . Then I accept your gratitude, please return home . ”
“Wait! Wait! This isn’t much of a repayment, but I brought some vegetables! To be truthful, they’re part of our stock for winter, but I wanted to do this much at least . ”
“Is that so, then thank you very much . I will accept it . Now then, I accept your gratitude, please return home . ”
“Why do you keep trying to make me leave!?”
“……Because for some reason you keep on trying to enter my house . Do you really not understand? Why a girl is living in such a remote location by herself? It’s because I just want to live quietly . Do you understand? I made that medicine because you kept on being persistent and annoying, so I had no choice but to make it in order to get you to stop . ”
“That’s……”
Neil lowered his head . But that was the truth . I just wanted to be left alone .
“If you understand, then please return home . And don’t come back anymore . I will accept the vegetables . Thank you very much . ”
“No, it’s fine… . . then, I’ll…”
“Yes, goodbye . ”
Neil then went back home .
As such, my peaceful days have finally returned . I decided to go back to bed .
Winter was slowly approaching .
