The Mastermind Behind The Incident

We are on our way home after teaching the village’s children. Eleonora-neesan and I walk down the straight road to the mansion while I make our ski and snowboard float in the air by Psychic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Haa......I ended up being the one who did most of the teaching, I’m tiredー」

I felt so exhausted today that I can’t help but grumble about it.

「I properly taught them too, you know?」

「I say, that kind of intuitive teaching method was impossible……」

I was in charge of the boys while Eleonora-neesan was in charge of the girls.

However, Eleonora-neesan’s method of teaching them was the same as when practicing swordsmanship, it was an intuitive manner of teaching them.

『You shift your weight forward over here and just continue to smoothly slide down like that』

The blank looks on the girls' faces when she told them that left an impression on me.

According to the person herself, it was surprising since she was teaching them how to brake.

And because of that, Ema-oneesama started imploring me midway through and I ended up busy since I was also in charge of the girls.

「……even though it might seem like that, I’m still teaching them carefully though……」

Moreover, the person herself is not aware of it herself. It may be difficult for people who have intuitive talent.

I wouldn’t be this tired if Eleonora-neesan were able to properly teach others.

「Hey hey, I want to slide down a slope to my heart’s content, can I? Somewhere wide and with a long slope with no one around!」

It seems like the discussion of being in charge of others has already ended inside Eleonora-neesan’s mind. She said that to me with a very innocent expression on her face.

「Then you can just go to the mountain, right? There’s a long slope in the mountain and it’s not popular so you ski there comfortably」

「You’re right! Mountain sounds good! So let’s ski in the mountains tomorrow!」

「Eh? I’m also going?」

「Of course. It’s boring to ski alone and Al is the only one who can properly slide down a slope」

I was suggesting it to her like it was completely someone else’ problem, but before I knew it it ended up becoming me being dragged into it as well.

Dang it. I won’t suggest skiing in the mountain if it were going to turn out like this,

I can’t use Teleport to go there since there are other people there so I have to walk all the way to the top of the mountain myself.

I personally want to slide down the mountain slope myself to my heart’s content, but there are no convenient mechanisms like a ski lift here so it wasn’t something I wanted to do in a situation where I couldn’t use Teleport.

It’s really a hassle.

But, it will be difficult with Ema-oneesama and Sheila’s skills to be Eleonora-neesan’s partner. I’m the only one who can satisfy Eleonora-neesan’s wish. There’s no escaping it.

While giving myself up to the feeling of resignation and regret, Eleonora-neesan seemed to be in a good mood. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Arriving at the mansion, we left our skis and snowboards in our room.

After putting them away in the corner of our room, I headed to the living room to take a break.

I’ve been outside the whole time today so I feel like drinking warm tea.

Should I add milk to them, or sliced lemon?

Entering the living room while having such a thought, I saw Sylvio-niisan reading a book on the sofa, and Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan chatting amiably.

It’s the usual scene in our house.

「I’m backー」

I called out upon returning, but I felt a strange tense atmosphere as I entered.

……that’s strange. The room should have been warm from the crackling of the fireplace.

It’s obvious for me to feel relieved after being inside the room after coming back from the cold outside world, but I shouldn’t feel such a chill in the air.....

「Welcome back, Al. Do you have a minute?」

Nord-tousan suddenly calls out. The flow of conversation feels like he’s going cross-examine me.

But, didn’t I do something wrong?

I couldn’t think of anything, but Sylvio-niisan gave me a wry smile.

「I’m going to warm myself in front of the fireplace, so I’m a little busy」

「Then, we will go there」

「I will also make you a cup of hot tea」

I sensed something wrong so I tried to escape, but Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan kept following as though blocking my path of retreat. That kindness of theirs is actually scary.

I warm myself by the fireplace, feeling something eerie. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Do you want milk in your tea?」

「Ah, yes. Please」

I obediently nodded as Elna-kaasan smiled brightly.

I received the warm tea with milk in it, carefully stirred.

The mellow Royal Feed goes excellent with milk. And the taste is exquisite since it’s Elna-kaasan who made it. Even if I make it myself, the taste won’t be like this.

The milk tea really soaked my whole cold body.

「Al, there seems to be something strange that is popular in the village, right?」

「Something strange?」

「I heard it from Bartolo who went shopping, people are sliding while being on a strange board」

「Ah, skiー...」

I was about to say ‘skiing’ but I hurriedly closed my mouth.

So it was that. I started skiing and snowboarding on the spot, but I hadn’t told Nord-tousan anything about it.

It’s obvious that Nord-tousan is trying to find out about it.

It’s quite a bad personality of them to aim for the moment when I relax by drinking warm milk tea.

「So Al is the one behind the strange incident」

「That makes me sound like a mastermind for an incident.....」

Nord-tousan way of saying it was so strange that I couldn’t help but retort to him.

This is not a certain great detective anime setup so please don’t phrase it strangely.

「So, Al is involved with those strange things?」

It appears that they already heard about the outline from Bartolo. So even if I say I wasn’t involved with that, it will be over if they say they saw me slide together with others. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

It would be better to just come clean. It’s not like I was hiding it and having a guilty conscience.

「Un, that’s right. Eleonora-neesan and the other girls came over when I was playing with Torr and Asmo so we just played together. I didn’t make them to be sold as a product though but they ended up becoming more popular than I expected」

I casually dragged Eleonora-neesan’s name while insisting it was just a game for children.

I didn’t reproduce ski and snowboard to commercialize them just like with the reversi this time, I just did it because I wanted to play in a normal way.

「I knew it, it’s Al’s work」

「I just came up with it on the spot though」

’Al’s work’, I don’t think I did anything wrong.

「Hm, I understand Al’s point. It looks like it matches with the information from Bartolo」

As expected, I guess Bartolo already told them about the general idea of the game. I’m glad I didn’t try to poorly deceive them.

「What is the name of the game?」

「It’s skiing and snowboarding」

「I have heard that it was a game where you ride on something like a board but, you can show them to me if you have them」

「I’m interes――it is popular in the village, so it is our duty to check what they are like」

Elna-kaasan, your true intention leaked out. It ruined your noble dignity.

Rather, I feel like Nord-tousan’s eyes are lighting up for some reason.

Guess it’s because he’s been cooped up inside the mansion a lot due to the snow these days.

The two of them may also be interested in a winter game where they can play outside.

「Okay. I’ll bring it」

So I decided to go back to my room to get the ski and snowboard. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
