86 85. Sibling
Considering the danger of the vessel breaking due to travel in carriages and crowds, he asked for delivery to the tower. They'll arrive tomorrow evening, and I'm so excited to use them.
"Can I eat at a store near the harbor? The crew and I have places to go now and then."
"Please. I haven't been anywhere near the harbor..."
"Well, let's go before it gets crowded"
Near dusk, it's time for those who are done with their work today to find out. You should go into the store before it gets crowded.
I walked a little faster down the road leading to the harbor than I did when I came.
The downtown area near the harbor was already lit.
Many people come and go through the streets of brick-making cafeterias and drinkers.
What a gorgeous collection of glamorous outfits, exotic long clothes and tattooed costumes.
The slightest hints of the sea on the wind disappeared into the smell of alcohol, meat fat, and seafood baking.
"Here. The name's a little different, though."
Wolfe stopped at the black brick and black roof shop, which is characteristic even of the street shop.
The letter written large on the black wall is' Black Pot (Kuro Pan) '
"It's kind of like the shop itself is a black pot"
"Yes. Apparently, the goal is to make our customers happy enough to keep them out. As far as I'm concerned, it's in my wallet."
When I walked into the store, it was wider than I had imagined from the entrance and the round tables lined up sloppily.
There is a counter in the back right and a staircase upstairs in the back left.
Would the seat already be filled by about half? A clerk wearing a black apron is walking early between the tables.
I guess there are those who are already able to make it up with alcohol. A lively voice was echoing from upstairs.
Wolfe headed straight to the counter and spoke to the man with the bottle of booze.
"Evening, long time no see"
"There you are... that's Wolf, isn't it?
"Oh. Back today, are you free?
Offset the fairy crystal glasses and point the golden eye at the man.
The man confirmed Wolfe, putting down a bottle of booze and laughing.
"Nice glasses. Anybody coming later?
"No, just the two of us"
"Then take the back right hand, the second room, please. What about booze?"
"White and red in a glass. And then when you order."
"Okay. I'll take it, just watch it first."
The menu table is given to me, and without being guided by the clerk, the two of us continue down the aisle next to the counter.
When I opened only the top half of the white door, there were four white wood tables and chairs lined up.
"That was the deputy manager earlier, synchronizing the squad. You retired from the army last year because you were married."
"Retired, is it?
I've never heard of retiring the Demon Crusade Squad in marriage.
I thought the knight was something to go on until he was quite old.
"They're popular with our troops, the common people, but because they have a bad reputation as a place to work within the royal castle"
"After all, is it because it's dangerous?
Dalya listens back as she sits in the seat across from the diagonal.
"There's that, and 'Expedition' is huge. I leave my house vacant from time to time, so I may wish to move in or quit my marriage. They say," Fifty Years and Forty percent Fall "or something. 'Cause newcomers come in and they're gone 20% in a year, 20% in five years."
"It's pretty tough, huh?"
"But a job that's not hard, I guess. Even if it's rude, I'm a magician, and you thought I could magically impart magic to you. I don't think it's that dangerous."
"No, I don't think that's usually the case… I think it's common to lose magic."
They've put the wrong magician image on Wolfe.
While receiving the menu table, it was clouded with a reply similar to the excuse.
"Speaking of which, how old is a magic conductor active until?
"There's no retirement, so basically, until you can't move. Except if you change jobs."
"I guess I'm a little jealous. Troops are well paid, but active duty is fifty years old,"
"You just have to save well and aim for a leisurely old age"
"A leisurely old age... does Darya have such a plan?
"Right...... I hope to take the apprentice of a magician around getting gray hair. But before I do, I have to be alone."
One day, I talked to Irma.
If possible, I want to connect the technology my father taught me, the technology I learned myself, to someone.
For this purpose, it would be best to take the apprentice of a magic conductor.
"Don't you think you want your kids or relatives to inherit it?
"I don't think so because I'm not getting married. Neither do relatives... it would be best if you could adopt a disciple and have Rossetti named"
When Darya finished saying it, she knocked on the door and as many deputy storekeepers as she had just come.
"White is Wolf, red is your sister okay?
"I'm not your sister, but that's fine"
A subtle strange conversation, but white wine was placed in front of Wolfe and red wine in Dahlia.
"Have you decided to cook? It's exclusive and contains' Red Bull (Crimson Cattle) 'steak and tail soup, how about that?
"Oh, of red cheese..."
"Of cow demons..."
Red Bull (Crimson Cattle) is a cow demon, which Wolf and I first talked about when we had dinner at the store. We both ate the red cheese, but didn't think the meat was already out there.
"Well, let's do that. How about Darya?
"Yeah, please come with me"
"What would Red Bull (Crimson Cattle) do for booze?
"Diluted carbonated whiskey, seedles and wine around red medium spice"
"Well, with carbonated whiskey. And Darya?"
"Seedle, please"
Because of this, I chose something different.
Asking for a few dishes afterwards, the deputy manager went back early enough.
"Does Darya look like her sister... it's kinda weird when she tells me twice a day"
"Wolf is my brother..."
Wolfe's glasses contain images that resemble my father's eyes, so I guess they associate my brothers and sisters.
The similarity is due to the fairy crystal glasses and the original appearance is as if it were different.
Still, if we had a good time together, would the atmosphere be similar?
I remembered the words of the liquor store owner and thought about it.
"That, from what I'm looking after, the other way around fits better?
"I'm younger than Wolf."
"Above based on the age of the contents"
I remember the previous life, and I was just a little shy.
Add up your living time and you'll be over forty years, certainly considerably older than Wolfe.
"It's not like Dahlia's contents are older, I'm probably in my late teens, my head's contents"
"Okay. Let's stop drinking and juice, even though it's so sweet."
"Give me a break"
Wishing me luck from tomorrow and toasting, I continued my conversation over a glass of wine.
"Darya wish she had brothers?
"Yeah, I grew up as an only child, so I kind of admire being a brother with you since you were little. We can do a lot together, make a magic guide, eat dinner, talk all night, fight occasionally..."
"Isn't that all me but a fight?
"Oh, if you had a brother like Wolfe when you were little, you might have had fun"
Little Wolfe and I play in the workplace, have dinner together, play pranks, and my father scolds me.
I imagined that, and I smiled.
Wolf and his brothers and sisters wouldn't have had anything to say to anyone together and they wouldn't have had to care about men and women or their identities.
I would like to be with you all the time as a friend, but there is also the difference in status between nobility and common people, as well as their own work. For some reason, there may come a day when it will be harder for us to be together.
Besides, if the day comes when I make a mistake and get lost thinking about Wolfe, it will end there too. He thinks he's the same woman he was until then, and he'll keep his distance hurt.
That's all. Whatever happened, I'm sorry.
"... a sister like Darya, then I might have enjoyed my childhood"
Wolfe giggled and spoke to herself, thinking about it.
"Brothers and sisters who play, make noise, study a bit, and dare to challenge Magic Instructors and Magic Sword Production from childhood"
I said it with momentum, Wolfe, but after thinking about staring at each other with Dahlia, it was time to laugh half way.
"I feel dangerous while I'm at it."
"Yeah, I think it's a very heavy burden on parents."
The story between the two brothers and sisters ended there.
