Kotatsu With The Family
「……what are you doing?」
As Elna-kaasan was also feeling cozy in the kotatsu, Eleonora-neesan returned from the outside.
And as soon as she entered the living room and saw us, Eleonora-neesan made a perplexed expression on her face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It seems like she was practicing on her own outside judging from how she has a wooden sword in her hand.
Her white cheeks had a faint reddish tint due to the cold.
And she’s fine even though it’s this cold.
「We are warming ourselves inside the kotatsu」
「Kotatsu?」
「It’s a heater Al came up with」
「Is it warm?」
When Sylvio-niisan told her that, Eleonora-neesan cautiously approached the kotatsu.
Then, even though there were still spaces, she came beside me.
「Move over a bit」
「Okay okay, I know so don’t grind your leg against my waist」
It’s amazing how Eleonora-neesan’s foot seems to dig between the bones.
There are a lot of things I want to retort but there’s no point in complaining so I obediently move to the side.
And then, Eleonora-neesan nodded in satisfaction and entered the kotatsu.
「Warm……!」
Eleonora-neesan’s eyes opened wide as she voiced out her thoughts. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
She lifted the kotatsu's futon and casually inserted her hand inside to enjoy the warmth.
「I know your hands are cold but the warmth will escape if you lift up the futon like that」
「I know already」
I guess she also doesn’t want the warmth to escape. Eleonora-neesan obediently followed despite my sincere advice.
She lowered the raised futon, deeply inserted her arms, and sat back down.
At that moment, Eleonora-neesan’s cold hand touched mine.
「Cold!」
When I immediately moved my hand away as I let out a surprised shout, Eleonora-nesan grinned at me.
This, it’s a face thinking of doing something bad.
Despite trying to get away after sensing the danger, Eleonora-neesan moved faster than me.
「Give me a bit of your body heat」
Eleonora-neesan’s arms reach out and slip into the collar of my shirt.
「It’s cold and ticklish! There is a kotatsu here, use that to warm yourself!」
「But this way is warmer and more interesting」
It feels like her cold hands are continuing to absorb my body heat.
Dang it, this is her revenge for my cheeky advice before.
Eleonora-neesan was looking happy as she watched me gasping from the coldness and tickling. What demon
Being constantly attacked is also not in my nature so I cast Ice magic while enduring the tickling.
I put a piece of ice on Eleonora-neesan’s nape. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hyaaa!?」
Eleonora-neesan jumped up and made a girlish scream, maybe because she was surprised at the ice that suddenly appeared in her clothes. Her body hit the kotatsu, almost knocking over the cups on the table.
「Hey, you two don’t act out now」
The red-faced Eleonora-neesan was embarrassed and was about to cover it by doing something, but then Elna-kaasan suddenly spoke out.
「「Yesーs」」
Honestly, I don’t think it was my fault, but there is the possibility that we will both be chased out of the kotatsu even if I were trying to object.
I didn’t want that to happen so Eleonora-neesan and I replied with a reluctant apology.
Sylvio-niisan is reading a book, Elna-kaasan is eating dried fruits, and Eleonora-neesan is concentrating on warming her body.
While I am lying face down.
It’s hard to get into this position when there are 4 people in a kotatsu at the same time, but my current body is small so it’s no problem.
Haaー, it’s warm. It feels like submerging myself in the bath.
I don’t think I can get out of here anymore. I’m becoming one with the kotatsu here.
As I closed my eyes while making such a decision, I heard a growling sound from beside me.
While everyone was relaxing and being quiet, such a sound was clearly standing out.
「……I’m hungry」
The person letting out such a sound said with a straight face particularly devoid of shame.
At times like this, it is mainly my responsibility to urge everyone for a meal.
「How about eating lunch here?」
「That sounds good. Eating in a different place once in a while is not a bad idea」
Elna-kaasan responds to my suggestion without delay.
Although she was saying a very reasonable line, her real feeling of not wanting to get out of the kotatsu escaped her.
But, since everyone is of the same opinion no one objects to it.
「Al, ring the bell」
「Okay」
I make the bell placed on the table in the living room with Psychic and ring it.
There was a clear ringing sound *chirin* and I heard Mina’s response from the hallway.
Usually, the members of the Slowlett house are taking care of things by themselves if there are no maids around, by we are now succumbing to the magic of kotatsu. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Yes, why did you call――eh, what is this?」
Mina tilted her head to the side as soon as she - who entered the living room - saw us in the kotatsu.
「Its’ a heater called kotatsu」
「A heater!? May I intrude for a moment?」
「「No」」
We reject Mina’s request.
「Why!?」
「Coz Mina will not be able to get out once Mina enters the kotatsu」
「Su, such a ……heater……」
It’s easy to imagine Mina falling to the charm of kotatsu and not working anymore once she entered.
「Depending on Mina’s effort, there is the possibility of placing a kotatsu in the maids’ waiting room though.....」
「Please give me any commands!」
She said to give her any command by just saying I will place a kotatsu there, I wonder if she’s okay?
As far as Mina’s nature is concerned, while I knew she would do her best if there was a bait dangling in front of her, I’m a little worried.
「We will eat lunch here today」
「You will have it here? In that case, it will be difficult to have a dish with a large number of items」
Compared with the dining table, the kotatsu I prepared is quite small.
I could imagine it would be difficult to eat if they prepared the amount of dishes the same as usual.
「How will it be?」
「Then, wouldn’t a hot pot be good?」
There was that time when we had a hot pot in my room in the summer. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
At that time I used Ice magic to make my room very cold, and we ate hot pot in the middle of that.
This time I want to properly eat a hot pot in winter. My suggestion came from that desire.
「Right. It will also be easy to bring everything together and have everyone eat it」
「Understood. Well then, I will convey it to Bartolo-san」
And with the approval of Elna-kaasan - the one with the biggest authority here -, our lunch became a splendid hot pot.
「Later, also call Nord――no, it’s nothing」
「Is everything all right?」
「I will call him myself」
What! To think that Elna-kaasan will not succumb to the magic of kotatsu and be able to leave, I can’t believe it.
Considering Elna-kaasan’s lazy personality, that was an impossibility.
I can’t believe she will even leave the warm kotatsu to call Nord-tousan.
Does she want to see Nord-tousan surprised that much?
The power of love can even conquer kotatsu, how terrifying.
After a while, Elna-kaasan returned accompanied by Nord-tousan.
「Is this the kotatsu Al made?」
「Yes, that’s right. It’s very warm」
For some reason, Elna-kaasan proudly said that.
I don’t really care who made it so I don’t mind. What matters most is that this couple is happy.
Elna-kaasan sits down, and Nord-tousan also sits down next to her.
「This is really warm. It feels nice and warm even until the tip of your toes」
「Right?」
Elna-kaasan approaches Nord-tousan while throwing some agreeable response.
I see. The reason she called for Nord-tousan was so that she could make sure he would sit next to her.
If Nord-tousan were to be called normally, there’s a high chance that he would sit in the spacious and vacant area.
As expected from Elna-kaasan, she’s strong. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
