“Isn’t this ground (clay pack) awesome!”

“I’m gonna spread all over our arms, legs and everywhere else that is exposed to the sun!”

Many things have had happened during our journey but the bandits are all doing fine.

However, we have not met up with Bashu-san yet.

Nevertheless, we did not spend the time fruitlessly waiting for Bashu-san. Kou-okaasan and I started a beauty seminar to enhance women’s femininity, spending our days on polishing up one’s figure.

“What do you mean by demonic beasts!”

After spending more time with Kou-okaasan, I have acquired a womanlier tone. It is a good thing.

“S-sorry! U-um, the boss is calling.”

Kou-okaasan went off while covered in mud.

“A-are you going in that state……”

“Right on.” said Kuwamaru-bro as he gave his thumbs up.

Finally, some days before, Bashu-san has finalised his team to undertake the agricultural reform. However, having boss appear out of nowhere and saying, “Gahahaha, I have finally found you!” would invite suspicions that he might be a demon lord, and we were afraid that we might be subjugated by Bashu-san’s escorts so Kuwamaru delivered a message instead.

“Well, it is easy so long as you leave it to me. First of all, I went to a nearby village and approached a girl. I gave her some pocket money and I told to help me pass a bouquet to the person in the carriage. And then, inside the bouquet was the message addressed to Bashu so…... hey, are you listening!” Bro stopped in the middle of his story to shout at me because I was still smearing the mud on every crook and cranny of my body.

“I am listening. So the size of it is that Bashu-san found the letter in the bouquet and is coming to us right? Impressive, impressive.”

“What’s with that half-hearted praise…… Y-your treating me pretty bad these days y’know? Just one year ago, you were still so docile…...”

“You must be imagining it.”

I see. From his reaction, they must be really intimate friends.

“Boss and everyone are friends from the school yes? I heard about it from Kou-okaasan. Did boss and everyone often hang out with this Kou-okaasan’s brother?”

“……Well, yeah. Still, he was a mage so the worlds we live in are different.”

At the part when he said “Charming?”, he made a terrible shrieking voice, he had better not been trying to imitate my voice when he did that! My voice is definitely cuter than that! A cute voice that young girls have!

To display my indignation, I gave Aniki a hug while covered in mud.

“Uwa, hey you! You’ll dirty me—!” Aniki yelling resounded through the mountains.

Ever since that was decided, somehow, boss had been on his toes and Kou-okaasan was less lively.

I had always played a tune or two after our meal but what should I do today?

A life in the mountains would not have the usual entertainment we have normally, so I was thinking of what could I do before finally choosing music. Hence, I made this bamboo flute myself. It was made such that the notes were accurate.

Usually, together with the party, I would blow a nice “Pii Hyara”(TN: the sound of a party horn) music with a refreshing rhythm and the intoxicated Gai-san and Kuwamaru would dance to it.

As I blew from my flute, as always, Rudel-san glaringly gazed at my hands.

Even now, as he observed my hands, his hands were vaguely moving too. No doubt that he is practicing in his head right now.

“No, it is more like Ryou was originally better at playing these calm compositions.”

I had never imagined in those days that this music would, after I had been reincarnated, for the sake of letting others listen to it, etch on a melody that describes the current state of my heart. I never expected the day when I would play this music so naturally, so much so that I would say that this is exactly my rock! 

“However, it is so miraculous—. Despite having no lessons in it, that she can play it so well.”

It seems that in this world, playing music with an instrument is not common. There is a strong connotation of it to rituals that spirit users conduct to execute large-scale magic and that it has been sanctified too, so it was not something the average person would lay his hands on.

Ultimately, on that day, boss continued to be serious throughout while the curtains on Ryou-chan’s classical concert closed.

The reason for boss being tensed up after having decided the meeting with Bashu-san, was something that I could vaguely guess at since I have been with him for the past one year.

I pretended not to notice anything and continued with my child-like innocence.
