...in the morning.

　I woke up today feeling really good. Basically, I'm a farmer, so I'm a strong morning person. But with everything that's been going on lately, I haven't had much time to relax and get to bed.

　So I guess that's why I should be grateful for the routine that allows me to wake up feeling good like this.

'Proto. Good morning.

　We were able to meet up with Proto safely. All of my family members are safe. And now, a month has passed since then, and many things are going on with the reconstruction. The academy will start next week, and I've been busy preparing for it.

　Once the kingdom has settled down, I'll sit down here again and work on my research. That's what I've been thinking about since the uproar broke out.

　The search for the labyrinth is also important, but for now, we thought we should focus on this one. Besides, it shouldn't be impossible for Leif and the others to explore the labyrinth on their own. In the first place, he was able to capture the labyrinth without our help.

''........!

　Proto raises his hand in a goof. Seeing that, I lightly stroke his head. Then Proto raises his hand more vigorously, and he looks very healthy.

　And so I get ready for what I'm going to do today alone.

　And before that, I head to the bathroom to take a shower as usual. When I did so, I opened the door and in front of me.....................for some reason, Fee was standing there naked. It looked like she was just in the middle of changing her clothes.

''........eh.
Oh.

　They let out dumb noises to each other.

　Come to think of it, Fee was staying at the house yesterday, too. I had completely forgotten about it. I mean, isn't this a cohabitation anymore?　But it's useful in many ways, and there's nothing wrong with being with Fee all the time, so I always agree with him.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.
'Oh ... no ... no ... no ... no ...'

　It was already a loud voice that rang out.


'I'm sorry. It's like this.

　Head down.

　Breakfast was ready and we were seated across the desk. There I was apologizing. I understand that it's not a good idea to see a woman naked in a stone, so I lower my head so low that my head is almost on the desk.

''Be-........not that. It's rather late, and I'm not going to get angry, but...!　I mean, you have to be careful about all that stuff, right?
Yeah. We'll take it into consideration from now on.
Well, it's not so bad.
Not bad?　What does that mean?

　I seem to have mumbled a blur, but I asked back because I could hear him firmly. Then Fee's face turns red and she turns her head to the side with a pui.

''.............it's nothing!　Come on, let's get some breakfast!
Yeah.

　Apparently, they didn't want to expand the conversation any further, so the conversation was discontinued there.

　Well, after this, I guess I'll go out and work on my crops for the first time in a while!
