Reliable Helper

I was completely shutting myself inside the mansion. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I warm my room with Fire magic, sipping on Royal Feed while eating pancakes.

Such ordinary daily lives are wonderful.

There will be a backlash if you go out continuously and after some time you will not want to go outside anymore.

Even on my precious days off in my previous life, I made sure to have at least a day where I would stay cooped up at home.

Although I was using Teleport, I still feel tired when going outside.

It is also important to care about your body and mind by relaxing at home and resting your body.

「Ooーi! Alー!」

As I was relaxing and spending my time like that while thinking of such things, a familiar voice could be heard coming from the window. That’s definitely Torr’s voice.

I was thinking of checking by opening the window reflexively, but I suddenly came to my senses and stopped moving.

If I open the window right now, the cold air from outside will enter the room, right?

I hesitated since I was currently inside a warm and comfortable environment.

I mean, it’ll definitely be cold if I open it after all. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

It’s fine to open to ventilate the room if the air quality is bad, but I just did it a while ago.

And the air hasn’t gone that bad now.

So, maintaining a comfortable environment is much more important compared to engaging in face-to-face conversation with Torr.

「Oi, come out wil yaー! I heard from Sara-san that you’re in your room, y’knowー」

I ignore him while pretending to be out but he doesn’t give up.

Apparently, Sara told him where I was out of courtesy.

So they won’t give up if they knew about it and there is also the possibility that they came down there being guided by Sara. In that case, it would be better if I just went out.

I reluctantly stand up and open the window.

There, I saw Torr, Asmo, and Sara looking up at me from the courtyard.

The cold air unreservedly enters my room making it cold.

It’s warm inside but outside, white mist will come out when you speak as it is cold.

「Why did you come?」

「’Why’ you say, you should know when you see us」

「We came to invite you to play」

Different from Torr, Asmo directly told me the reason they came.

「Playing outside on such a cold day? Why don’t you wait until it gets warmer a bit?」

「You, we won’t be able to play at all if you keep saying something like that!」

「Good grief, do you want to play with me that much?」

「「Being with this guy all the time makes me so sick」」

Torr and Asmo said while pointing their fingers at each other.

Oh well, the two of them are neighbors and they get along well. The two of them had no choice but to get stuck with each other if I was not around. It makes me feel sorry for them when I think like that.

「Haa, can’t be helped.  I’ll go out」

I haven’t really played with Torr and Asmo properly since the harvest festival ended.

It won’t be a bad idea to play together since I’ve been wanting to play using a ski and snowboard after teaching Maya about sandboarding.

After I told them that, I closed the window, ate the remaining pancakes, and washed it down with the Royal Feed.

Changing into winter clothes from everyday clothes and heading downstairs to the entrance, I met Sara entering the mansion.

「Alfried-sama, please take care on your way」

「Un, I’m going」

Sara called out to me while smiling as I was putting on my shoes.

I wonder if something good happened to her. Sara was smiling strangely.

One also becomes happy when being sent off by a cheerful maid, though.

I open the front door and head out into the courtyard where Torr and Asmo are waiting.

There, what welcomed me was a storm of snowballs. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I couldn’t avoid the snowballs that suddenly flew at me so my face and body got hit *bssh bssh*.

「Gyahahaha! Al fell for our trick!」

「Ihihihih, they hit him nicely」

Torr and Asmo happily laugh seeing me covered in snow.

Darn itー! That Sara! It seemed like she knew about this so she told me to take care while smiling at me. She knew that there would be this kind of reception for me since had heard about Torr and Asmo’s plan.

I wish she would just tell me in an easy-to-understand manner if she’s going to tell me.

「Don’t you think this is a bit too much after inviting me?」

「This is punishment for refusing our invitation!」

「We’re punishing Al here」

Saying that, Torr and Asmo quickly throw snowballs at me.

Apparently, they didn’t find it interesting for me to keep rejecting their invitation to play together after the harvest festival.

I wanted to go back inside to take refuge, but I knew they would gang up on me if I were to open the door so I gave up and took shelter.

「Oi, don’t let Al escape inside!」

「OKー!」

Those two continue to throw snowballs at me to block my path of retreat and prevent me from entering the mansion.

Even though they usually get into meaningless quarrels with each other, their cooperation when messing with others is outstanding.

「Don’t you think it’s cowardly to gang up on me?」

「Yeah, so what?」

「As long as we can defeat the opponent then anything’s fine」

Naughty friends who don’t particularly listen to my objection. They’re really a bunch of garbage as usual

「If that’s the case then I also have an idea」

「You’re just going to use magic as usual anyway!」

I also thought of using magic to have a snowball fight with them, but I got annoyed when they told me I was going to do it.

「No, that’s not it. I’m not going to use magic this time」

「Haa?」

Fortunately, I’m currently within the mansion’s grounds. I have the means to fight back even without using magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Torr and Asmo become cautious, maybe because they don’t know what kind of trick I will be using.

But choosing to do nothing is a mistake on their part.

I take a deep breath and call out toward the kitchen.

「Ooーi, Bartolo! Let’s do a snowball fight!」

「Oooh, snowball fight! Sure!」

Bartolo immediately came out from the backdoor of the kitchen when he heard the mention of a ‘snowball fight’.

「I don’t have enough people so Bartolo is on my team」

「Okay!」

Being a person from a snowy country, Bartolo must love snowball fights. So I thought he would immediately participate if I were to call him like that.

There is also a good reason for matching the number of people so I managed to openly pull Bartol into my team.

「Hehehe, I’m itching to do this」

Bartolo continues to throw snowballs like a canon by taking advantage of his big and strong arms.

And with that kind of hardness, his snowballs are probably several times firmer than our snowballs.

「Oi, calling Bartolo is cheating, y’know!?」

「I don’t think so, I don’t have the same number of people as you after all but even if it’s cheating, what’re gonna say now?」

Torr criticized me for that but I returned his exact line to him.

Then Torr made a frustrated groan. The best way to counter garbage is also with garbage-like means.

I fought Bartolo as the enemy last year, but he became a reliable person as an ally.

「Dang it! I’ll knock down Al alone!」

「I will take you down along with me if it’s come to this!」

Torr and Asmo became desperate and rushed at us, but that was a bad move.

「Bartolo, do it」

「Ou」

The two of them were quickly defeated by Bartolo’s snowballs. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
