Chapter 9: The First Outing
The next day, we decided to bring a lunch box and go out for a hike to the west meadow. But only Lyell could not come with us because of his patrol job. That morning, Lyell had tears and snot drifting down on his face as he cried out loud, which was extremely disgusting.
“Nicole, I’m sorry Papa cannot follow.” “Then don’t come!” “Aww… she’s pretending to be strong.”
Misunderstanding my attitude, Maria had a smile as usual. In her eyes, my attitude was that I wanted to go out and play with my father, and it looked like I was sulking. Actually, I was sulking because I could not do my daily routine.
However, come to think of it, it was true that fatigue had been accumulated by recent training. It might be good to take a rest today and relax.
Maria was my former companion and Finia was a pretty girl. If you did not consider that Maria was a married woman, the current state was a harem flanked by two beautiful women. Of course, I am also a woman, but that is that and this is this.
“Look, Nicole, this is the flower I used for my sachet.”
Finia plucked a small purple flower and brought it to my nose. Then, the flower fragrance from yesterday came drifting stronger than yesterday.
“When you dry it and pack several flowers in a bag together, it will become a sachet.” “Ooh~”
I was not interested in potpourri too much, so I replied half-heartedly to Finia’s explanation. Just by looking at her happy expression, I also became happy. However, such a happy time also ended soon. It was due to the appearance of an intruder with a shrill voice.
“Ah, Maria-sama! Hello!” “Maria, good morning!”
Several kids came rushing towards Maria from the direction of the village. Maria was surrounded in a blink of an eye, and her hand was pulled and spun around. Finia, too, was a victim of the children.
“Oh, who is this child?” “Onee-chan’s little sister?” “Her hair is beautiful. Her arms are thinnn.” “Oooh~ wao!?”
The kids flocked to me this time. I was swallowed in a blink of an eye, and my hair was disheveled. My hair was long enough to reach the middle of my back. I personally wanted my hair shorter, but Maria and Finia strongly opposed it. As they put on a crying face, I couldn’t insist on getting a haircut stubbornly.
My silver-blue colored hair was inherited from Maria, and it was glossy in the light. Moreover, my eyes inherited Maria’s red and Lyell’s blue at the same time, the color was different on the left and right. It was enough to stimulate children’s curiosity.
“Her eye colors are differenttt.” “That’s weirddd.” “Lettt gooo!”
I did my best to resist by pulling my cheeks away, but that accomplished nothing in the end. I brushed off their hands and hid behind Finia as I went past them.
“Hey, don’t be naughty, this girl is my daughter Nicole, get along well with her okay?” “Huh, who is Nicole?” “A friend.” “Let’s play together!” “Oh, wa―― don’t pull my hand!”
I was pulled away from Finia by the outrageous children. I was mercilessly and relentlessly dragged. I could not make light of the physical strength of the children, even though I was also a child.
“These are lavender flowers, you’re making fragrant bags, aren’t you?” “Ehh, that’s boring, let’s go raspberry gathering over there! We can snack on it later.” “Geez, boys really like to eat in a rush. Nicole would hate that sort of thing.” “Why are you like this? You guys also like to eat sweet things!” “This and that are a different story.”
My opinion no longer mattered. In this way, I have forcibly been pulled along and dragged around the field.
