Al Came. A Day Off From Work
As I was about to head to my room on the second floor, Mina called out to me as she passed the front door. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ah, Alfried-sama! You received an invitation from Torr yesterday! ‘Come to my house’, he said」
Yesterday, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan came to the village and explained that a bunch of nobles would come to our village and warn the villagers about it.
Since Mina also followed them, Torr must have asked Mina to tell me that yesterday.
「Heeー, when?」
「It’s today」
He invited me yesterday to come today, does he think I’m a person with a lot of free time or something?
Oh well, I have time anyway so it’s fine.
「What about the time?」
「Umーm, he ran off before I could ask him that......」
Mina answered with a wry smile when I asked about the time.
That’s Torr for you. He was probably satisfied after imposing his demand on me so thoughtlessly.
So it mean I can come over to his house whenever I can since he didn’t tell me the time?
But, I guess it’s better to come quickly rather than going late and him complaining about it later. Torr would also be able to skip his work earlier that way. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Okay. Then, I will go now」
「Understood! Have a good day!」
I stopped going up to the second floor and went outside while being seen off by Mina.
When I reached the mansion’s garden, pleasant sunlight shone down on me.
The sun was blazingly scorching until a little while ago, but I guess it’s thanks to now being in the middle of the ninth month that it has now become very mild.
It’s going to be okay to wear shirts with short sleeves if it’s this pleasant. But for people who are sensitive to cold, it will make them want to wear something like a haori whether it be in the early morning or evening.
You can tell that the season is gradually changing by the temperature.
Passing through the beautifully tended courtyard, I went through the gate and headed straight to the straight road in front of the mansion.
The temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold. Sure enough, autumn is great.
I mean, you can go outside with peace of mind and without alternating between feeling happy or anxious about the weather daily.
A pleasant wind is also blowing from the meadow today, the plants are also making *zaaa* sounds of rustling leaves.
It is still the beginning of autumn, but the roadside is already filled with bright-colored flowers.
However, as autumn deepens and the season gradually approaches winter, they will wither.
As time progresses, we will not be able to see these beautiful flowers for a while.
It’s a little regrettable, but the season won’t stop.
But, there are good things about autumn and winter and when spring comes, flowers will bloom again.
And that’s how the year passes by.
It’s because there are changes like this that make our daily lives enjoyable.
But, it’s kinda sad not being able to see them for a while, so I have to fully etch their appearance right now into my memory.
As I walked while watching the scenery and the flowers around, I saw a wheat field that gradually turned golden-colored.
I guess it’s because they are soon to be harvested that the villagers who manage the fields are also devoting themselves to checking their condition.
The Autumn Harvest Festival is slowly approaching. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The villagers’ feeling of expectations are high, maybe because it’s a once-a-year festival.
However, I felt like there was another atmosphere apart from that reason.
The men like Roland and Westa are gathering under the tree next to the field.
『This is bad, it looks like noble-samas are going to come to our Harvest Festival this year, y’know? What’s more, they are noble ladies! Seems like it’s not crude men that will come!』
『That’s bad, what if they ask me for marriage? That will make me a noble, right?』
『That’s impossible I tell you, don’t worry about it. If you become a noble then I’m already a royalty』
『The heck? Ain’t it fine to dream for a bit? Just because I already have a wife doesn’t mean that I can’t get carried away......』
I see, apparently, they have heard about the fact that nobles are coming to the Harvest Festival and it has since become a hot topic among the villagers.
The news only went around yesterday, but as expected from the countryside, they sure are fast to spread.
Nonetheless, Westa. The noble ladies who will come are four and twelve years old, you know? It will be a crime if you put your hands on them......no wait, I guess it’s not strange in this world where early marriage is wished for?
Although, both of them came from famous Duke houses. Even if they made a mistake, they still wouldn’t ask you to marry them.
I continued to walk toward Torr’s house while giving them a sidelong glance and thinking about such things.

「Oh! As expected of you Al! I thought that you would understand my intention and come in the morning if it’s you!」
Just when I was walking near Torr's family field, Torr noticed me and called out to me loudly.
Just as I thought, he was pleased that I came over in the morning when he was working. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Aah, Alfried-sama. Good morning」
As I was having a slight, complicated feeling about Torr’s happiness at seeing me, Ema-oneesama greeted me.
Ema-oneesama - with her refreshing-to-look-at blue hair fluttering - is also dazzling today.
Although, I have to greet her first before continuing to watch her in fascination.
「Good morning, Ema-san. Are you working in the fields today?」
「Yes, we don’t have any vigilante corps practice today so I’m helping with the field work」
「Doing a vigilante corps practice is hard and it is also your day off, it’s admirable for you to help your family」
When it comes to Eleonora-neesan when she had no practice, she will drag me or Sylvio-niisan to have a voluntary practice with her at her own convenience. I wish she would follow in Ema-oneesama’s footsteps and help Nord-tousan’s work a bit and become quieter.
「No, such a thing. It’s only natural to help in the field as a family」
「……liar. Even though she tried to skip her work and then kaachan slapped her butt――oww!?」
When Torr was muttering about something, he suddenly made a strange noise.
「Torr, there is some mud on your backside. You are now in Alfried-sama’s presence, you should take care of yourself more」
「O, ou, that’s right」
Admonished by the gentle Ema-oneesama, Torr hurriedly slapped the mud stuck on his body.
It’s true that there is some mud stuck on his body probably due to the farmwok he did.
Compared to him, there is almost no mud stuck on Ema-oneesama’s body. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I’m sure that they must have been removing the mud and dirt stuck on them before Torr shouted out loud like an idiot and approached me. No wonder Ema-oneesama’s greeting came one beat late.
As expected from Ema-oneesama, she’s much more feminine than Eleonora-neesan.
「Okay then, since Al’s here I’ll leave the work to you」
I was about to open my mouth to have a bit more conversation one way or another, but Torr interrupted me.
Oi, what is this guy doing now. It’s been a while since I saw Ema-oneesama, I wanted to enjoy a conversation with her a little more.
「Yes, I understand. Alfried-sama, there is nothing here, but please make yourself comfortable and take your time」
「Yes, thank you very much Ema-san」
Now that there is nothing to be done about it, I can’t continue our conversation.
「Let’s go Al. Let’s also call Asmo」
「Even though I wanted to chat with a little more.......」
「Sorry. My butt won’t be able to take it if you continue to chat with my neechan」
Haa? Why would Torr’s butt won’t survive if I chat with Ema-oneesama? I really had no idea what he was talking about.
While I was having such doubt, Torr continued to hurriedly walk away.
「Hey, I don’t mind waiting at Torr’s house, you know」
「Can’t do that. I can’t bring Asmo then」
「Why? If I were there then you would be exempt from most of your work, right?」
Torr looks uncomfortable when I doubtfully ask.
Suspicious. I wonder what did he do?
Torr averted his face when I stared at him questioningly.
「St, stop it. Don’t stare at me with such lifeless eyes」
「Calling it ‘lifeless eyes’ is so rude!」
It’s also my fault for taking the roundabout path so persistently, but that’s not a reason to hurl abuse at me like that.
「……you, you used my name to skip your work, didn’t you?」
After I said that, Torr’s body clearly trembled. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「We, well, something like that, yeah」
It’s this guy’s cunning to skip work. Even though I didn’t come to ask him to play, he probably skipped his work saying that I came to ask him to play with me.
And then, as it happened several times, Myula-san and Emaoneesama probably found out about it. What a brat this guy truly is.
「We’ve arrived at Asmo’s field! Oーi, Asmo!」
As I was staring at him with an amazed look, Torr exclaimed as if to change the atmosphere.
Meh, whatever. It’s Torr, after all, let’s just forgive him.
Looking in the direction of the field Torr’s finger points to, I saw Asmo there with Sheila-san.
Apparently, the siblings are also doing their fieldwork right now.
「Oh, you finally came. And so, neechan. I’m going to Torr’s house」
「Muー! Only Asmo gets to leave, that’s unfairー! I also want Eleonora-sama to come and skip work~!」
As soon as Asmo stops pulling the weeds and his gloves, Sheila-san puffs out her cheeks and pulls out the weeds forcefully as if venting her anger on the weeds.
「I’m not a convenient item to let you skip your work though.......」
「N, now now, since the three of us are now here let’s go to my house!」
「U, un, that’s right! Let’s search for nuts or fruits today!」
We headed to Torr’s house while having a somewhat indescribable feeling. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
