Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Parting

Allen and Elena unusually didn’t speak of “wanting to play outside” or “wanting to accept a request, and spend their time with Rebecca-san when they could .

“Allen-chan, Elena-chan, how about having tea?”

“”Yea! You know~ we made snacks~””

“Oh my, you two made them yourselves?”

“Yeah, Allen you see, I made a chocolate pudding~”

“Elena made Ichi pudding!”

And, while Rebecca-san was busy, they said that they wanted to make snacks to eat with her when she’s free, so they took the challenge of making this new snack .

“”How is it? How is it?””

“My, it’s really nice, you two . ”

“”Really!?””

Seeking the impression on the pudding they made themselves, they were truly delighted when told it was delicious .

“”Will make again~””

“My, is that fine with you? But, wasn’t it difficult making something this yummy?”

“”Is fine~””

“Then, I will have to leave it to you . ”

“”Yea!””

Such days continued, but five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the morning of Rebecca-san, Velio-san, and Amelia-san’s departure arrived .

“”… Au~””

“My, oh my, Allen-chan, Elena-chan, please don’t cry . ”

Large drops of tears were spilling from Allen and Elena’s eyes .

Although they depart on a journey themselves, this is the first time they are sending someone close to them off .

“Allen, Elena, it’s not like we are parting forever, so you have to send her off with a smile . ”

“That’s right . We will meet again, right?”

“”… Yeah . ””

They were still hesitating, but Allen and Elena stopped crying and tried to smile .

“”Obaasama~ see you again . ””

“Yes, let’s meet again . ”

“”Yea . ””

The children hugged Rebecca-san tightly and said their farewells .

“Rebecca-san, Velio-san, Amelia-san, I wish you safe travels . ”

“Thank you . I will be looking forward to meeting in Rubia again . ”

“Takumi-kun, it was fun spending time with you . Come to our fief whenever you want . ”

“We will be awaiting you . ”

I had not spent much time with Velio-san and Amelia-san, but the two are gentle people, so even now, they feel like my older siblings .

“I will collect many gifts with the children on the way . ”

“Will collect~”

“Many~”

“””……”””

For some reason, the three turned silent when they heard our remark .

“… Takumi-san? By that, you only mean… vacation souvenirs, right?”

“Ah, so he meant it like that . My~ I was getting chills thinking what kind of absurd thing Takumi-kun would bring with him . ”

Certainly, as Rebecca-san said, Allen and Elena will give them souvenirs from what they experienced on the trip the next time they meet, but I was thinking of gifts of quality, though~

… Still, just what kind of absurd gifts did you have in mind, Velio-san?

“… When are gifts considered as absurd?”

But, to speak the truth, I have no idea when gifts get considered as absurd, so I can’t help but feel that I would do it .

“From what I experienced up until now… Majesta fruit, truffle, Snowbelow mushrooms, Orc General or Armored Buffalo are quite absurd, in my opinion . Ah, Pastel Rabbits too . Looking at it like that, Takumi’s common sense has become distinctly absurd, didn’t it~”

Here, Wald-sama pointed out for some reason .

Should I say that it’s as I expected or what… I feel somewhat annoyed that it was pointed out by Wald-sama, though .

“… Then, I will do my best to bring you Dragon meat as a gift . ”

“”Will do my best~””

Therefore, when I declared to bring an absurd gift, Allen and Elena also showed their fists with all smiles .

“Nonono! Don’t joke about that, Takumi!”

“I could take this occasion to investigate thoroughly what absurd really means~”

“… Oy, Takumi, stop right there . ”

Wald-sama tried to stop me, but I pretended I didn’t hear .

“Ah, wouldn’t fur be better rather than meat that will get consumed? Err, what monster would be good for fur?”

“Bear~?”

“Wolf~?”

“Then, how about sending one to the Ruven mansion in the Capital and another one to the Ruven mansion in the fief?”

“”Ohh~ will do my best~””

“I am telling you to stop right there!”

Wald-sama finally raised his voice .

“”No good~?””

“Yeah, that’s no good . ”

“”Why~?””

“Why… that’s because it’s not normal . ”

“”What is normal?””

“Normal!? Normal is… a typical thing . ”

“What is~”

“Typical?”

“Typical is, you know…——”

Allen and Elena barraged Wald-sama with questions .

It’s quite difficult being questioned, isn’t it~ yep, let’s leave this to Wald-sama!

“Takumi-san . ”

Just when I stepped back from the children and Wald-sama, Rebecca-san and Matthias-san approached me .

“I will be looking forward to the delicious Dragon meat . ”

“I was also thinking of getting a new fur carpet . Takumi-kun, I will be hoping you find something nice for me . ”

“Yes, I will do my best to answer your expectations . ”

The two are smiling very much, so they are surely not being serious and are only getting onboard on my joke . ”

… Although I say that, I might be able to do something about a good fur carpet, but as expected, Dragon meat might be a bit difficult .

“Fufu . But, I wouldn’t like waiting too long . Therefore, even if you don’t get a souvenir, round up playing around and come over . ”

“Got it . I don’t want to play outside for decades too, so I will etch it in my mind . ”

“Yes, please do that . ”

Rebecca-san smiled and hugged me lightly .

“Rebecca-san?”

“Takumi-san, you will be leaving on a journey too after this, but you are like my third son to me . Therefore, both this house and the house in the fief are your home . You can come anytime without hesitation . ”

“… Thank you very much . ”

Deeply moved that Rebecca-san thought of me like that, I unconsciously turned teary-eyed .

“Won’t this make me to come to Rubia immediately when I get lonely?”

“You will be very welcome . ”

“Rebecca-san, you can’t tempt me . ”

“Oh my, how unfortunate . ”

This time, she invited me while laughing .

“But, I will really be waiting for you . ”

“Yes, we will come soon . ”

“Allen-chan, Elena-chan, be well . ”

“”Yea, Obaasama~ too . ””

Rebecca-san once more spoke to Allen and Elena who came to us before I noticed, got on board the carriage and departed .

Allen and Elena waved their hands until the carriage could be seen no more .
