A Night In The Countryside
「I’m back!」
「Welcome back」
Entering the house the villager brought me, a gentle, beautiful blonde woman greeted us.
She’s probably the villager’s wife. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ara, this person is?」
Of course, she would be curious if there was an unfamiliar man next to her husband.
「My name is Kureto, an adventurer from the royal capital」
「Thank you for your politeness. I am Andre’s wife, Stella」 (アンドレ, ステラ)
「So his name is Andre-san」
I learned the name of the villager for the first time from his wife.
「Hm? Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you my name, did I?」
「You did it again, you brought him here forcibly saying he could stay with us, right? I’m sorry, Andre was forcing you to come here」
And when I sent a piercing stare at Andre, Stella immediately turned to me looking apologetic.
「No, I’m very grateful to be able to stay here so please don’t worry about it」
I actually wanted to use Teleport to return immediately so it was an unwelcome favor for me, but I decided to stay so there’s no use in complaining.
It looks like Stella often lets a lot of people from outside stay at their house. I guess they’re kind people.
「Right right. That’s why please take care of Kureto’s dinner too!」
However, the person responsible for all this doesn’t look ashamed at all.
I guess he doesn’t care about the small details, for better or worse.
「Understood. Please come in for now」
「Sorry for intruding」
Seeing him like that, Stella resigned to the situation, but she quickly gave up and let me in.
What a nice couple. My mother passed away quite early so I had never seen this kind of interaction typical of a married couple. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Their relationship that accepts each other’s virtues and flaws is so enviable and warm.
The house where Andre lives is a single-story house.
The floor is made of wood and the walls are made of stones. There is a table and chairs lined up in the living room and a fireplace at the corner. Farm tools and small weapons were also hung on the walls.
I can’t help but be impressed at this house, which is a common house in this world. It’s completely different from the house from my previous world.
I wonder if there is no culture of wearing slippers or being barefoot, the inside of the house is completely dirty with dirt from shoes.
I feel a little sorry and guilty about entering someone else’s house with my shoes on.
「That’s right. Let me introduce you to my daughter, Nina」
After Stella said that, Stella entered the room in the back,
Then, she brought a girl with the same hair color as her into the living room.
I guess she’s around 10 years old. Her blonde hair is tied with a ribbon in a ponytail style.
She appears to be a cute child with clear jade-green eyes.
「Nice to meet you, my name is Kureto an adventurer. I will be staying here overnight thanks to Andre-san’s kindness」
「My name is Nina! Pleased to meet you!」
Nina welcomed me with a grin when I looked at her and introduced myself.
That’s good then. Her daughter is not of a complicated, marriageable age nor has a difficult personality.
If she were to click her tongue as soon as she saw me, I would have immediately returned to the royal capital.
「Where did Kureto come from?」
「I came from the royal capital」
「The royal capital!? It’s a city with a lot of shops and people, right?」
Nina unexpectedly took a great interest in the royal capital. ww
w.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
She may have something like a longing or admiration for the city.
「Un, something like that」
「Tell me about the royal capital!」
Nina pulls my hand as she guides me to a chair while her eyes are sparkling.
But, I wonder if I could help with the dinner.
「Please accompany my daughter if you don’t mind. Stories from travelers are a good pastime in a countryside like this」
「If you say so」
「Andre will help me prepare the food. I also want to cook a little more to entertain Kureto-san」
「What!?」
Andre - who was planning on joining in my conversation with Nina - shouts in surprise.
I thought Andre would head to the kitchen dejectedly, but quickly came over to me.
「Let me tell you this in advance, don’t even think of touching Nina or telling something strange to her, you hear?」
……what the, isn’t he just a doting parent?
◆
「What a nice smell」
「Yeah. I wonder if this is cheese?」
As I was telling Nina about the royal capital, a nice smell came from the kitchen.
The fragrant smell has completely interrupted our conversation.
「Dinner is ready, I will bring it there」
After silently looking toward the kitchen’s direction for a while, Stella’s voice can be heard.
The completely hungry Nina and I eagerly wait for dinner.
Then, Stella came out wearing mittens while holding a large plate. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I received some good cheese today so I tried to make some gratin」
The gratin is then placed on top of a pot stand Andre took out.
The cheese is rising to the edge of the plate. It is still simmering and making small sounds, the burnt spots in some places are releasing a very fragrant smell.
You can see scattered slices of sausages, mushrooms, and potatoes among other things.
They are all packed tightly in the large plate, probably meant for 4 people.
「Uwaa～, that looks good!」
「It’ll definitely be delicious!」
In front of the delicious-looking gratin, I react the same as the little girl Nina.
I mean, it looks that delicious. I can’t help myself. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hoi, here’s bread, salad, and tomato soup」
Andre serves a plate with bread and vibrantly-colored salad and a bowl of soup with plenty of vegetables.
「Un? What is this meat?」
On the plate where the salad was served are red something that was arranged in a circular pattern.
「Aah, that’s Tatar (タタール). It’s a meat that has been lightly seasoned and lightly cooked to harden. You can’t get it fresh there so you couldn’t see it much in the royal capital, right?」
「That’s true, isn’t it」
I see, I guess it’s something like a yukhoe.1
Certainly, when you cook it with low heat, you can’t get this kind of dish if it is not fresh.
Even in the royal capital, there are few dishes with raw or rare meat. I won’t be able to casually eat fresh, raw food if the hygiene of the materials is not as thorough as the one back in my previous world.
「Nina, help me put the tableware 」
「Yeeーs」
While Stella and Nina arrange the tableware, I only wait at the table.
I don’t know much about this house so I would just be in the way if I were to move around in the house.
「Can you drink wine?」
As I was waiting obediently trying not to bother them, Andre asked me while smiling nicely with a wine har in his hand.
Judging from the innocent smile on his face, I guess he likes wine.
「Not a strong drinker, but I can drink」
「Then, drink, drink」
Andre came over with a glass seemingly in a good mood and poured a red wine for me.
「What a nice smeel」
「Oh? You understand, huh? The grape farmers here are quite picky about wine. This is a good quality wine」
It was a sour smell I recognized from the inn’s dining room. With that in mind, I expect the wine here to have a good flavor.
Even so, making wine leisurely in the countryside, huh.....that’s kinda nice. www.ihaves

I have the unfair magic called Space magic, but what will I do after I have enough money later? It’s true that I don’t have to work non-stop as I did in my previous world.
「Dear, dinner is ready」
Just when I was thinking about how to live in this world, it seemed like the dinner preparation had somehow been finished.
Stella and Nina are already seated.
Let’s think about difficult things another time. I should meet everyone with the dishes they made for me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
