Chapter 3 - 6 My Home My Life – Gift from Yashisu

The next day, after enjoying the bath, I woke up in the bed I was sleeping in with Wendy.
Sneaking out of bed so as not to wake the still-sleeping Wendy, I open the curtains and let the morning sunshine flood in.

Hmm-mm!
When I stretched up, my back felt a bit pain and I felt like I'd slept a little too much.
Well, yesterday I got to take the bath I've always wanted.
This would have taken away a lot of the fatigue.

“Let’s see” (Itsuki)
“Fuwa.... Good morning. Master” (Wendy)
“Good morning. Seem like you are still sleepy.” (Itsuki)
“I'm sure I wasn't bad in the morning, but I had a good night yesterday” (Wendy)

I understand that.
Going to bed after taking a bath helps to make one feel more tired.
After all, refreshment is important.

“Well, before Shiro wakes up” (Itsuki)
“What are you doing before you wake up?” (Shiro)
“Shiro!?” (Itsuki)

I am surprised to see Shiro in the room as it should be.
I wonder how long she's been here.

“It's almost noon ... and I want to eat breakfast ...” (Shiro)
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I think I slept a little too much.” (Itsuki)
“That's good, but more importantly, why is Wendy here too?” (Shiro)
“Uh ... well, that is” (Itsuki)
“That's not fair. Shiro wanted to sleep here too...” (Shiro)
“Shiro, who was asleep first, is to blame. The one who gets early wins” (Wendy)

Wendy had a winning look on her face.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's a bit immature.

“This time it's fine. Next time Shiro will sleep alone with Lord. Two days in a row” (Shiro)
“Oh, that's not fair! Shifts, let's take shifts!” (Wendy)
“Nope. Absolutely no.” (Shiro)

There was a snap on Wendy's winning face, and Shiro was announcing maximum harassment to Wendy, too.

I quieted the two of them and went to the bathroom and started to prepare for the morning bath by storing water while I did the laundry.
They were surprised like there isn’t a morning bath routine, but they convinced themselves that I really like to take a bath.
In the original world, many people like the morning bath, or rather the morning shower... I think.

Shiro, Wendy, and I took a hot bath together, and this time Shiro didn't swim, either, but instead clung tightly to my side.
Wendy has been sticking to me in the bath since yesterday, and she doesn't shy away from squeezing her arm on the other side.

“Ahh... that feels good.” (Itsuki)
“Yeah, I guess so” (Wendy)
“It's a little hot for Shiro” (Shiro)
“Don't push yourself. You can get out of the tub first.” (Itsuki)
“It's okay. I won't leave Wendy alone with Lord.” (Shiro)

However, Shiro's head is shaking as if she's pushing herself too hard.
It's bad enough to go any further, but Shiro stubbornly refuses to move away from me.
I had no choice but to pour hot water over my head and get out of the bath.
Since there is no fan in the changing room, I wiped my body and entered the alchemy room, pouring my magic power into the air conditioning magic tools, a cool breeze came out to slowly wake up my fiery body, which felt good.

“Ahhh.... But I'll catch a cold if I stay too long. Maybe I should make a fan too........” (Itsuki)

To be honest, I want plastic.
It's not safe with glass and steel.
But I don't know how to process oil, and I don't think I have the technology to process it in this world yet.
It would be handy if it was.

For some reason, the original world is full of plastic products.
Even vibrators are usually plastic, right?

“Gue” (Itsuki)

While I was lying on the sofa to cool off, Shiro came after me and climbed onto my tummy.
It's okay to get on, but please don't jump on it.

“Lord, wipe my hair” (Shiro)
“Hmm, you're soaking wet” (Itsuki)

Damn, she was such a troublesome kid.
Ah-ah, my clothe also getting wet.

“You’ll catch a cold” (Itsuki)
“Hmm, I never caught cold” (Shiro)
“Seriously. Here, don't you feel itchy?” (Itsuki)
“Mm, a little lower” (Shiro)

Here, here. Is this place? You want to do this place?
As expected, her ears are itchy?
Somehow, she's more spoiled than ever.

“Hey, Shiro. I haven't wiped your head yet!” (Wendy)
“Mm-hmm. Lord wipes me down so it's okay” (Shiro)
“Oh, hey!　What are you letting Master do?” (Wendy)
“It's fine. Wendy also want me to do?” (Itsuki)
“I ... wiped it off already” (Wendy)
“So how about I tie your hair up?” (Itsuki)
“Does Master like me being hair tied up?” (Wendy)

It's not like that, but don't one want to mess with a girl with long hair a little bit?
Well, even if I could, it would only be a braid.
And it would be a shame to have such beautiful hair if I failed to do so and got marks on it.

“Not really... no? Wendy might as well keep it that way.” (Itsuki)
“I see...Uh” (Wendy)

That's weird.
It's a compliment in my mind, but for some reason I'm feeling ashamed.

“Here, Shiro done. I don't want Wendy to catch a cold, so I'm leaving now” (Itsuki)
“Yes. So, let's have breakfast then” (Wendy)
“Right. I'll help you too.” (Itsuki)
“Yes. Ufufufu. Shiro, just take your time” (Wendy)
“Mmm. I can't win against a meal...” (Shiro)

As expected, Shiro is also quiet when it comes to food.

We made breakfast together, and since we were here, we put it on the table and it turned out to be a pretty big meal in the morning.
There are so many different ingredients that I've never seen before, I asked Wendy how to prepare this and that, and before I knew it, I had made six dishes.

“Hey, Shiro. You should also eat vegetables” (Itsuki)
“NO. MEAT MEAT BREAD MEAT MEAT” (Shiro)
“The use of meat is too much...” (Itsuki)
“Eat what I like, when I can. Otherwise, sometimes I wouldn't be able to eat it.” (Shiro)

You said that when you were eating my beef skewer sandwich before.
Shiro said she is from a fighting race, and maybe she's talking about dying in battle.
It's true that I'm going to ask Shiro for an escort, but I don't intend to ask her to actively go towards the enemy, nor do I intend to go out of my way to risk it.

“Shiro. If you don't eat your vegetables, you won't grow up” (Wendy)
“...... Wendy. I will also eat salad” (Shiro)
“Yes, yes, yes. Is that alright with this amount?” (Wendy)
“Hmm...... It’s bitter” (Shiro)
“Really? This is so fresh and delicious. Here Ah-mm” (Wendy)
“Hmm...... It’s bitter after all.” (Shiro)

I wonder if they have a different tongue.
Come to think of it, I used to be bitter about bell peppers when I was a kid, but as I grew up, stuffed peppers were one of my favorite things to eat.
I seasoned it easily with yakitori sauce, and it's just as good.

Ring Ring Ring

“What is that sound for?” (Itsuki)
“It appears you have a visitor. I'll go ahead” (Wendy)

Oh, the intercom-like thing.
Come to think of it, there's a gate, so no way to knock directly on it.
But still, I wonder what kind of principle it's sounding on.

“Lord, vegetables don't taste good” (Shiro)
“I'll make you a better one next time and you should try your best today” (Itsuki)
“Uhmm...” (Shiro)

Don't you eat like you're sad.
I can't help it, so I'll share some of my bone-in meat with you.

“Master, Yashisu-sama is here to see you.” (Wendy)
“Please excuse me while you eat. I'm here to congratulate you on your move” (Yashisu)
“Oh, Yashisu. I haven't seen you since that day. Did you get along with your wife?” (Itsuki)
“Yes, of course. The kids were looking forward to playing with me for the first time in a long time, and I was able to return the gratitude to them” (Yashisu)

You even had a child........
Moreover, he said that “Tatsu” mean there is more than one.

“I assume you got the goods from the courier?” (Itsuki)
“Yes. As expected of a customer, you work very fast. I'm very grateful for your help, as there was a long waiting list for our customers to make a reservation, even if I chose the one to sell.” (Yashisu)
“I've made some more, so I'll give it to you today” (Itsuki)
“Thank you for your help. As many of the customers would like to use it the way it was originally intended, can you make more of the larger ones?” (Yashisu)
“All right” (Itsuki)

The larger one naturally costs more in materials, but I can take care of the rest easily.
Even though I'm selling cheap to Yashisu, if I can get my money back and sell it consistently, I'm okay with that.
Continuity is power, and that's not what it means, but that's about it.

“By the way.... it sounds like you're doing well” (Yashisu)
“...... What are you talking about?” (Itsuki)
“No, no. No, it's nothing.” (Yashisu)

It's not like it's nothing........
This guy, I can't let my guard down....

“Yeah, I brought something for you today that I saved. I thought it would be perfect for you” (Yashisu)

With that, Yashisu took out one of the larger jars from the magic bag.

『-Ultimate Night- Unknown. The ultimate night for you』

......
So, you know.
Why Reinrich and Yashisu give me an item with all the details unspecified?
It saying ultimate......
What's going to happen? What does Ultimate Night mean?

“This is the only one of the few gems in the world created by a certain Emperor Zetsunin. I recommend that you don't tell anyone that you own it.” (Yashisu)
“No, no, I don't know the reason. Why?” (Itsuki)
“There are many nobles who are willing to kill for the sake of getting it” (Yashisu)

This is too dangerous for hear.........
Or rather, I wonder why Yashisu has this.
Moreover, this is unopened, no matter how I look at it.

“Haven't you tried it, Yashisu?” (Itsuki)
“My wife and I are both pale in comparison. Our kids are growing up, and all we need to do is have a normal, happy life” (Yashisu)

You're giving me a medicine you haven't even tried....
There's no danger, right?
And Yashisu. I'd be very curious to know what your normal happiness is like.

“Shiro. Now you can rest assured that even if a customer is someone who doesn't respond to the smaller ones.” (Yashisu)
“Yashisu, well done!” (Shiro)
“I'm relieved to hear that you were pleased with it.” (Yashisu)
“Well, I'll take it, but whether I use it or not is another matter...” (Itsuki)
“Yes, that's fine. I don't mind. But please don't spread the word that you have it and that you received it from me?” (Yashisu)
“Yeah, I get it.” (Itsuki)

This must be really dangerous to be reminded further......
Let's keep it in magic space.

“That's right. How about getting some breakfast?” (Itsuki)
“No, I had a breakfast today that was filled with my wife's love” (Yashisu)
“I see. Well, we're going to have a house-moving celebration dinner when Aina and the others get back, how about that?” (Itsuki)
“If I'm free of schedule, I'd love to join you” (Yashisu)
“Then at that time. I hope you are free of schedule” (Itsuki)
“Yes. At that time, I look forward it.” (Yashisu)

After saying that much, Yashisu left.
I'm glad he took the time out of his busy schedule to deliver a house-moving gift for me, even if it's just a dangerous thing to have.

“Lord, it's okay to use it when you're on Shiro, okay?” (Shiro)
“No, no, no. I'm usually too scared to use it...” (Itsuki)
“I don't mind when it happens to me!” (Wendy)
“It’s fine for Wendy to compete about it......” (Itsuki)
“Just only for Shiro. Wendy is old enough to be....” (Shiro)
“It's not that much different! Even I'm still young!” (Wendy)
“Compared to Shiro, your age is m...” (Shiro)
“Oh, is that what you want to say? Then no lunch for Shiro!” (Wendy)
“That's not fair. But Lord hold wallet. It is fine since I'll order dinner from Lord” (Shiro)
“But Master and I will have the same meal, only White will have food from the food stall. Me and Master are matching, though!” (Wendy)
“Mmm. Wendy, you have a bad personality.” (Shiro)
“It's not bad. Not worse than Shiro” (Wendy)

Hah.
For the moment, after I finish breakfast, I'm going to make the vibrator that Yashisu asked me to make.
I wonder what I'll do after that.

“Master, are you listening to me? Shiro is terrible!” (Wendy)
“Lord, the root of all evil is Wendy. It's all Wendy's fault.” (Shiro)
“You guys, where are the two that were so close in the beginning....” (Itsuki)

You told me you'd be happy with me and that we'd be happy together.
I beg of you, please get along.........
