The journey back was smooth.
　We didn't find a carriage being attacked by a demon like we did on the way there...
　We were able to proceed without incident.

　........Well, Sola and Luna were having a hard time getting drunk on the carriage.

　There was no reason to rush, so I asked them to proceed as slowly as possible so as not to put a burden on the two of them.
　Thanks to that, it took a week when it would have taken five days.......
　At any rate, I'm safely back in Horizon.

　I open the door of the house, thinking nostalgically of my home after a long time...

""Wow...."

　When I opened the door, everyone got a subtle look on their faces, all together.
　It had been sitting there for over a month, so there was dust everywhere.
　The plants and trees in the garden are all over the place.
　It looks like we've reverted to a haunted house.

　I'm sorry that I'm tired after a long journey, but I couldn't leave it here.
　I don't want to sleep in such a place, do I?
　So we decided to clean up immediately.

'Nya, my nose might be itchy from the dust..................hah!
'Oh, my God!　Hey Kanade, can you not sneeze in here?　It's going to get dusty.
'Well, even if you say so, we're sensitive to noses and such... hiccup!
Oh, my God, you sneezing cat...
Sneezing Cat!
Shh!

　Nina was sneezing too, as if the dust was painful.

'Ugh ... sorry, come on.'
'Nope. Nina's fine, don't worry about it.
It's racist!
You're my brother. So you want me to blame Nina too?　Kanade is an animal.
U....well, that's...
Am I a bad boy?
'Uh-uh!　No, it's not!　Nina is a good girl, all right.

　Everyone was sweet to Nina.
　Is she sweet, or is she adorable?
　It's a youngest son position.

''Ghehee...''

　Sola and Luna were lying on the couch, unable to recover quickly from their carriage sickness.
　Their faces are dead, but will they be okay...?

"Sola, Luna. Are you okay?　Do you want some water?
Thank you....
I want... but I'm only interested in a little...
Hey, I'm on it.

　It's been a while since we've been home, so Tina is in ghost mode, not a doll.
　Maybe it's easier to move in a ghost's body, but she was crisper than usual.

　She telekinetically carries a glass of water jug and takes care of Sora and Luna.
　On the other hand, he manipulated the broom and cleaned the floor with a rustle.
　He even manipulated a rag and wiped it clean here and there...

That's great.
Hmm?　What?
'Tina, what's with the power up?　I don't think I was able to do that many things at the same time before...
Hmmm, what do you think?　 Why is that?　Well, let's just say it's convenient!

　You told me later that....

　It seems that when you are possessed by the doll Ganz created, you are constantly releasing microscopic magical power.
　It's as if she's in a state of muscle training all the time.

　Since she was doing that, Tina's magic power was raised to the bottom....
　It seems to be that he was training his magic power unintentionally.

''Well, I can't afford to lose, either.

　I couldn't leave it to Tina alone, so let's just do a quick cleaning.
　With a rag in hand, I faced the dirt of the house.



----------



　We all cleaned up the house and tended the garden....
　And while I'm at it, I'm going to fix the damage...
　I did this and that, and by the time it was all over, it was completely dark.

　We're all tired, we don't have time, and it's hard to prepare dinner now.
　Therefore, we decided to eat out today for the first time in a long time.
　We're going to go to a place where we can have a meal as well as an inn.



　The waitress looked at me and was surprised to see me.

　She's a waitress who did a lot for me when I used to go to this restaurant.
　'A familiar waitress,' she said.

'Isn't that Mr. Shroud!　As I recall, I heard you went to King's Landing.......did you come back?
'Yeah, just after lunch today. And I've been cleaning the house and I don't have the time or energy to cook anymore, so I thought I'd eat here today. There's seven of us, but is there any room at the table?
'Yes, yes, of course!　Seven of you, Mr. Shrouds, let me show you around.

　Why do you say that out loud?
　I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but....

The Shroud?
Hey, hey, Lane's back.
'You were going to take a promotion exam, weren't you?　What was the result?

　People rushed in to hear the waitress' words.

'Nyannya!　Nyango!
'Why are Sola and the others attracting so much attention...?
Oh, come on, can't you get that?

　Hearing Sola's words, one of the people rushing in laughs and says

''Rain and his friends you guys are the heroes of this city. That hero has vacated the city he's been back for a while. Well, you'll be the center of attention.
'And what can I say, I'm not enough without the Shrouds. It's boring and lonely.......so I'm glad they're back. Welcome home.

　Various people from the city, adventurers, and others are talking to me one by one.

　What can I say...I'm happy.
　I am accepted by this town.
　The people of this town accept me as one of their own.

Nyahoo. Rain, Rain.
Yeah?
It's pretty cool.
Well yes.

　I had a place to go and....
　And there are people who welcome me.
　That makes me very happy.

'Hey, hey, Rain. Hey, Rain, how was King's Landing?　Tell me a story.
Yeah. Well, I'll have a drink with you then.

　That day, we ate and drank late into the night
　It was the first time in a long time that we all enjoyed being together and having a hangover.
