Uchi no Musume no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai Chapter 6

When Dale woke up, it was quite early.

“…Ahh, that’s right….I picked her up.”

How will I get out of bed without waking her up. He thinks.

But when Dale got up, Latina’s eyes suddenly shot open.

Dale let out a small grin, as he felt a sliver of Latina’s uneasiness. In a way that could calm her down a little bit.

Saying that, he patted her head.

The attire that Dale was wearing today, different from when he was working, a simple shirt, and a comfortably made pair of trousers. On his waist wears only his wallet and a small knife. He tidies his bed hair with his fingers. Putting on his boots and carrying Latina up into his arms.

Going down to the first floor, directing Latina to go towards the table in the kitchen that wasn’t the store.

Rita smiled at Dale and Latina as she noticed them. Of course, only to Latina.
Kenneth and Rita were right in the middle of breakfast preparations. All adventurers, eat in excessive amounts from the morning. There was an abnormal amount of food required compared to the number of people who are living there.

Dale went around the back casually, washing his face at the washing area across from the bathing area. Cleaning the towel that he used to wipe his face, he went back to where Latina was, handing to her the soaked ‘thing’.

Doing the laundry for his underwear-type clothes, was his first sequence of work in the morning. He hung them at the drying place set up at the washing area.

Returning, Rita was combing Latina’s hair. Rita seemed to be amazed, emotional and restless, all at the same time.

Indeed, after the comb has went through Latina’s hair, it’s become so beautiful that it could never have been compared to up till now. That kind of thing, the novice guardian wrote down in the memo book inside his heart.

Rita took a fleeting glance at Dale, and said as if she was whispering.

“I understand. Sorry about this”

There was no change to her figure but, to Latina who was now clean, had neat hair and clothes, no matter how you looked at her, she was a girl. She was a completely different person from the kid back in the forest who was dirtied to the point where you couldn’t distinct between the gender.

“Ohh, morning. Come on, it’s breakfast”

“Mo,re,nin”
Looking like she didn’t have much confidence, she quickly lowered her head after that.

Kenneth stiffened up. Dale distorted his expression.

Hearing the same words since morning, it probably hit her that it was a greeting after a bit of thought.
As expected, it seems this kid excels in observational powers. Even if you question if it was because she was a race which was considerably smart, that was probably just a vague guess.

「 ” ***？ *****？ ” 」

To Dale’s expression, Latina became anxious thinking that she was wrong.

“Damnit, remember this Kenneth”

However, Dale who had her [First greeting] taken away from him, kept complaining to Kenneth whilst smiling. Kenneth too, for some reason couldn’t stop smiling.

Kenneth returned back to work as he muttered, ‘a child would be nice’.

Dale’s breakfast was just the normal bread with cheese and grilled smoke meat on the menu, but Latina’s portion was made specially for her. The bread was dipped in milk and egg, the middle was baked so it was glistening, placed on top of the compote from yesterday. Thinly sliced smoked meat, was grilled until it looked crisp.

Magic tools in general circulate around.

However as all things they have a price, naturally using the common well, using fire to ignite things, there’s no reason for these things to not exist. However they were the overwhelming minority. It was no match to convenience.

Due to that, chilled food wasn’t very unusual.

Latina turned to look at Dale happily as she drank it suddenly.

So that Latina couldn’t hear the latter half he murmured it in a soft voice.

“Hey, Rita. Where do they sell clothes that girls wear?”

“Later, teach me the things that I will need to know immediately please. From a men’s point of view, it might be something we forget.”

Rita stopped moving her hands, gliding her pen to create a list.
Dale just listening to it, felt a sliver of intensity of how girl’s deal with shopping, and shivered.

Dale left the “Dancing Ocelot” as he held Latina up in his arms.

Her weight wasn’t a pain or anything but, you couldn’t carry luggage at the same time.

“『Shopping』, how should I say this…”
‘I could buy her a picture book and head back’, he says in a soliloquy. It wasn’t cheap but, something of that level wouldn’t bother him too much.

As they entered the closer to the heart of the city, the figures of adventurers disappeared, and the number of people who lived here increased. The plaza in the center held a market, so there were probably a lot of people eyeing for the products that the neighbouring villagers, travelling merchants put up.

Just like he had heard from Rita, he passed through the doors of the shop set up by the craftsman known as Baltic.

“So tired…”

Speaking the truth, defeating magic beasts was easier. In a shop with no one but girls, continuing to shop for unfamiliar things, he didn’t think it would be this mortifying.

Thinking about all of these things until he felt depressed, Dale was exhausted many times over.

“Ahh. Don’t worry about it. [Negative, Problem]… I’m alright”

“Ahh. That’s right”

After Dale ate the juicy fruit that he cut up, seeing how sticky Latina’s hands have become a thought came to him.

“… Latina, she might have had quite a good upbringing…”

Of course, the person facing Dale probably has faces where she is nervous too.

「 ” O’ Water、Show Thyself,to this one’s command《Manifest : Water》”」

“Something to wipe… Also, I guess we should go buy some of the handkerchiefs that Latina uses…”
Muttering that, Dale who stood up, checking out the market once again, not realising that this repetitive action of shopping, was way beyond what he had first planned.

Just like that, a large amount of luggage was carried back, surprising both Rita and Kenneth, before finally realising that fact.
