Howling Village This Time

　The next morning after I completed Lefyria’s request. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　Staying in my royal capital’s mansion, I headed to Lefyria’s studio to pick her up.

「Lefyria-san, I came to pick you up」

「Yessー!」

　When I called out from outside, the door opened along with Lefyria’s drawn-out reply.

「Please, come in」

「Excuse me」

　She let me in just like yesterday and we head to the studio in the back. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　I store the necessary art supplies there in my subspace, and our preparation is complete.

「Now then, let us head to Howling village」

「Yes, we can go anytime」

　After I said that, Lefyria automatically took my hand.

　Apparently, she is still not used to teleporting, even though we have teleported repeatedly yesterday.

　I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking about it, but let’s try not to think of it as much as possible.

　Lefyria has a natural airheaded side to her so I should not get the wrong idea.

　Firmly keeping that in mind, I teleport to Howling village with Lefyria.

「……is this Howling village?」

「That’s right」

　The scene before our eyes changed instantly from the studio to the tranquil Howling village.

　Our location is right next to my house. There is an unpaved dirt road and flowers, with a forest spreading out nearby.

　The houses are sparsely scattered, and most of the area is farmland. You can see villagers working in the fields here and there.

　Mountains stretched around as if surrounding the village, and it is clear to see that the people here live closely with nature. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「What a lovely place. The peaceful scenery is very beautiful. You can feel the closeness of nature, and the peaceful lifestyle of the people is showing」

「Thank you very much」

「Is this Kureto-san’s hometown?」

「You could say it is my hometown, but strictly speaking, it is not. I actually live in two places, the royal capital and Howling village, using magic. This house next to us is my house」

「So, Kureto-san is also living here?」

「Yes, I call it dual-based life」

「That is nice. Certainly, you do not have to fixate yourself with one place if you have Kureto-san’s magic」

　It was a strange way of living, but Lefyria - who has actually experienced teleport - looked to easily agree to it.

「So, what kind of painting should I make? Is there any scenery you would like me to paint? Maybe around your house, the fields, or river」

「Right. I’d like it to be something that captures the image of Howling village, though.....」

　It’s a very rough image.

　I don’t have any experience asking for a professional painter to paint for me, so I don’t know what to tell her to convey the image.

「I see. Then, can I walk around the place for a bit and decide later?」

「Yes, I will leave it to Lefyria-san」

　I feel like it is better for the professional to decide it rather than for me to specify the painting.

　Having decided to leave the decision on what to paint to Lefyria, I followed her along as she walked wherever her mood took her. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　There are no large buildings or stores compared to the royal capital. However, Lefyria walks around curiously as though the scenery is fresh to her. 

　She stooped and stared at ordinary flowers, sometimes picking them up to smell them. Looking at the small fish in the stream or touching the water.

「Looks like you’re having fun」

「I was born in the city, so this is my first time walking in a village rich with nature like this. So it is a lot of fun 」

　Lefyria walks with a cheerful expression on her face.

　I see, she’s the exact opposite of Nina and the type who doesn’t know the live close with nature like this.

　I was also the same before I live here, so I really know how she feels.

　Perhaps the reason she slowly observed the scenery like that, touching things to check the texture, will lead to the creation of realistic paintings.

　As we walked leisurely on the field, Olga came over driving a cart.

「Oーi, Kureto. You’re going for a walk todaaaahhh!?」

　He noticed me and called out to me, but his voice changed into a strange screech.

　Olga hurried over, left the cart behind, and came straight to me.

「Oi oi, Kureto. Where did you kidnap such a beautiful woman?」

「Please stop saying it like that. Do I look like a criminal?」

「I never saw that woman around here, y’know?」

　I understand what Olga was trying to say.

　A woman with glossy silver hair and well-defined features. With pure white skin that looks unrelated in any way to sunburn.

　Wearing a summer dress you can only buy in the royal capital, Lefyria is so beautiful you could tell at a glance that she’s not a woman from this village. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　Perhaps it is what they call the refined beauty of the city?

「Then don’t say things like I kidnap her or anything. I brought her here from the royal capital for work matters」

「Aah? Work? So she’s not your girlfriend?」

「She’s not」

「What the. How boring」

　Olga’s face looked like he got bored when I flatly denied it.

　It feels like he’s going to completely tease me to the end if she is. Even if I meet someone like that, let’s not let her meet Olga.

「Kureto-san, this person is?」

「This is Olga, the tomato farmer in this village」

「I’m Olga」

「Pleased to meet you. I am a painter, Lefyria」

「O, ooh」

　Olga hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes and shook her hand when Lefyria held out her hand.

　Even though he purposely put some dirt on my hand back then, the difference in his response is ridiculous.

「Well, this is a village with nothing interesting in it, but please take your time」

「Yes, I will take my time and relax if you do not mind」

　After bowing politely, Olga looked confused for a moment before he began pushing his cart.

　There is no one in the Howling village who responded this politely after all.

　Olga silently pushes two tomatoes to me and leaves.

　He probably told us to eat them.

「I got some tomatoes, you can try it」

「Thank you very much」

　I gave one tomato to Lefyria and started walking while eating the tomato.

「――mh!? This, this is very delicious!」

　Lefyria took a bite of the tomato,o and her eyes widened in surprise.

　Yeah, you will have that sort of reaction if you don’t know about the tomatoes from here.

「Yes, it’s really delicious」

「Right, it is better than the tomatoes I have eaten until now」

　I’m sure Olga will be happy to hear that.

　He got embarrassed and returned to his work, so I will tell him about it later. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It has started to be used in high-class restaurants in the royal capita,l you know」

「Was that, Kureto-san and Emilio’s work?」

「Right, it was our work. It is such a delicious ingredient, so I want many people to be able to enjoy it」

「I see」

　Lefyria nodded as if impressed when I explained it like that.

　I talk about other ingredients that can only be cultivated here with the tomato in one hand.

　Ingredients like Howling spring onion, Howling eggplant,and three-colored edamame. There is a lot of delicious food here.

　Although it probably sounded just like I was bragging about my village, Lefyria still listened attentively.

　That will also seem to be the image for the painting, so I continue to talk about the good points of the village.

「I am sorry, can we move to that place over there?」

　As we continued walking here and there while talking like that, Lefyria pointed to a hill in the distance.

　Although it is not as wide as the royal capital, walking around aimlessly for a long time will still exhaust you.

「Understood. That hill then」

　Holding my hand again, I teleport to that hill with Lefyria.

　It is a place slightly north of the Howling village’s residence area, a perfect place where you can have an extensive view of the village 

　The wind blows and passes us by, as if caressing our skin. The plants around us made rustling sounds like the sound of waves *shaa*.

「……I think I am going to paint this scenery」

　Lefyria muttered while holding back her flowing hair.

「Understood, please take your time」

　I have no objection.

　I’m sure Lefyria will be able to paint a beautiful painting from this scenery. That’s because I had such a belief inside. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
