"Phew, that's the last of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hang the wrung out blanket on the tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The weather is quite nice today, so if I dry them in the sun, they will dry in a short time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I check the position of the sun, and it is just around noon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sky is blue as far as the eye can see, so there is no need to worry about rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a good day for washing clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, I'm tired.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dirty clothes and five sheets of goza.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Three cloths to lay on top of the mats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

These were bigger than I expected, so it was harder than I thought it would be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And two blankets for sleeping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

These were also heavy when they contained water, so Ciel helped me on the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola was bouncing around me energetically at first, but she must have been tired, because she is now sleeping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I suggested in the morning to look for a river as we proceeded to All Town, the two of them agreed with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola was especially excited, and perhaps she was concerned about the stains on the blanket she was sleeping in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I cleaned the dirt off myself in the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps the sand had gotten into my hair more than I expected, but after a few washes I finally got it clean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Although I wipe my body every day during summer trips because I sweat a lot, it is different when I clean myself off in the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My whole body feels refreshed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wiped my hair and body with a dry cloth and put on my clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After washing the cloth and hanging it on a tree, the laundry is done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel also seemed to be comfortable in the water and went into the river to wash off the dirt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps inspired by this, I was surprised when Sola jumped into the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was relieved when Ciel rescued her immediately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sometimes, Sola takes on reckless challenges.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Incidentally, Sola sank slowly into the water and did not float up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We go to the shade of a tree where the two animals are taking a rest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel's wet fur seems to have already dried up mostly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They sit down next to each other and eat lunch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a soup of dried meat and root vegetables that I had made before the laundry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The vegetables were a gift from Mr. Guilmouth the day before he left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said something about nutrition, didn't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Delicious!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is the first soup I've had since leaving Ottorwa.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a little hot, but that's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, it's hot!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think to myself as I sip my soup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The rain we had the other day might be the rain storm that comes around the middle of summer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The arrival of this one means that summer is half over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then we'll have to think about winter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder where I will spend the winter. I'm not used to it, so I might as well stay put for a couple of months.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Winter travel is based on moving quite a bit in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because of the unpredictability of how much snow will fall, it is dangerous to move in the wrong direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Especially for someone like me who is not used to traveling, the first winter can kill you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Or rather, it is said that the most common reason for adventurers to die in winter is freezing to death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, if you feel cold, stay in a town or village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it is half of summer now, I can travel for about two months.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How far can we go from all towns?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take out a map from my bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are two villages and one big town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we can move around, it would be about this far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As in Ottorwa, we don't know what will happen, so we should plan our itinerary well in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Cold weather can come early some years, so we have to be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do ciels hibernate?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ciel."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At the sound of my voice, Ciel, who had been sleeping, opens his eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Does Ciel hibernate?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nope."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is the one that doesn't make this purr.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm wondering if Ciel is in the nearby forest?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't come see you when the snow is bad, is that okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have heard that when there is heavy snowfall, they sometimes close the entrances and stop people from coming in and out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So I will not be able to go see him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm worried about the fact that there is only one dog, but I guess it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel says it will be fine, so I'll believe him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm...in a big town or village, the place where I can meet Ciel is far away due to patrols and such.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it would be better to meet in a regular village or so to be close to Ciel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, that would make lodging a little more expensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We are checking inns in the villages and towns we passed through, but in larger villages and towns, there are cheap inns for low-level adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had planned to go for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In ordinary villages, cheap lodging was scarce and the prices were higher than in larger towns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had enough money for this year, but I would have to keep my expenses low for the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, I would have to talk with my traveling companion and ask him to register me with a commercial guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That way, we should be able to sell what we find in the forest and what we hunt in a stable manner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The butcher store owners I've met so far have all been good people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I was warned by Mr. Guilmouth that I was just lucky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, it seems that if you don't go through a commercial guild, it is normal to be bought out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that sometimes the price is half of the guild's price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Freshness is especially important for hunted meat, and the price goes down as time goes by.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's where they take advantage of you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now it's a matter of winter accommodations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have a lot of things to think about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At the sound of Sola's voice, I look at Ciel's stomach area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola, who had been sleeping buried in the fur of Ciel's stomach, opens her eyes and stares at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good morning, Sola.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P~, p~~~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What a powerless cry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I look at it, I feel it pull and shake, and then its eyes slowly close.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if ...... maybe he's sleepwalking?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel is also staring at Sola.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola closed her eyes and started sleeping again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems she was still sleepwalking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I fell asleep, didn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel and I are somewhat whispering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think she would wake up if I talked to her in a normal way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ahh... It feels so nice and warm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Stretch your arms as far up as you can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is hot, but the breeze feels good since we are by the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am waiting for the laundry to dry, but I feel like falling asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure I'll regret it if I fall asleep here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I'll put away the dry laundry first. Ciel, can I ask you to take care of Sola?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After gently patting his head, he leaves the pleasant shade of the tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Once out in the sun, I feel the temperature rise dramatically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's so hot!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I touch the laundry to check, it seems that the clothes are already dry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As expected, they dry quickly in the summer sun and wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The blankets still seem a little wet, so later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The goza and the cloth to lay on top of it were dry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One by one, I examined the stains before putting them away in the magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like I did my best to wash them, and the stains are clean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Phew, all that's left really is the blanket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The blanket will only be dry for another hour.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Returning to the shade of the tree, I found two very comfortable sleeping faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Makes me want to jump in there and sleep with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, it's impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel, sola. It's time for you to get ready to head into town."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Ciel opens his eyes, he pokes Sola, who is on his stomach, with his nose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A pull and a shake to it and Sola opens her eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Sola, good morning this time. It's time for you to get ready, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ciel stretches out his paws and relaxes his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After seeing this, Sola also shakes her body and relaxes her body?　I guess that's what they intend to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, maybe they are really loosening up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I wake up, I am shaking a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wash and clean the dishes and pots I used, and put them away in my bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While I'm making the minor preparations, the blanket is completely dry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, let's go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Considering the position of the sun, I doubt we'll make it very far into town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh well, it's just another day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still, I feel refreshed after a long time of doing laundry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's nice to get dirty things clean, isn't it?
