An A-Ranked Adventurer’s ‘Slow-living’ - 100 Tea path is steep
Then, when I was talking to Fiona about his daily life and a little bit of the flora, Flora, sleeping on her lap, awoke naturally.
Flora, who had a sleepy eye for a while, smiled shyly when she realized she was sleeping on my lap.
“… hehe”
Flora is very cute.
“Hey, don’t you?
“Wow! Mom !? Why?”
Flora smiles innocently, but Fiona wakes up when she speaks. Seems to be the most agile flora ever.
“Why didn’t you say you’re going?”
Flora listens to Fiona’s slightly amazed voice and checks her watch.
The time is already past noon. Flora who saw it looks back at this vigorously.
“Mr. Aldo! Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I’m sorry. If I was sleeping on the flora, I would sleep too …”
“Because I said I could just leave it. Don’t blame Mr. Aldo.”
When I apologize, Fiona asks you to support it.
“… yes.”
At that point, Flora calmed down, as if she couldn’t really tell.
Then Fiona claps her hands to switch air.
“Rather than that, Elgis will be coming soon. It’s time for lunch, and please prepare for lunch.”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Listening to Fiona’s words, Flora starts moving and wears an apron.
I get up to help with lunch, but Flora stops it.
“Oh, Aldo is with her mom and dad who will come later. It’s not too hard because it’s almost finished already.”
Certainly, it is not good to leave the guest Fiona and the upcoming Elgis. Fiona doesn’t even have a cup of tea, and I should be here.
“Okay, I’ll leave it. If you want help, feel free to say it.”
“Thank you”
Flora smiles and answers, and she puts the souvenirs she receives on shelves. He doesn’t seem to use the souvenirs that he brought.
I boil water and prepare fresh tea while Flora sorts.
For the time being, should I talk with Fiona until the water is boiling?
When I returned to the sofa with that in mind, the door of the entrance was knocked.
“Aldo-san? I’m late, Elgis!”
“Ah, yes!
Apparently, this time Elgis came.
“Ufufu, it’s just getting busier.”
Looking at our scene, Fiona mutters happily.
This is fun, as always. Is it because of the orderly liveliness that is different from usual Toac, Aisha and Kourne?
With that in mind, I prepared the slippers and opened the front door.
Then there was Elgis, who was holding a bottle of wine.
“Oh, I’m sorry to be late.
“No, don’t worry. Please come in.”
I know the situation, and talking outside is tiring.
I guide Elgis as hard as Fiona couldn’t. It’s a relatively short distance from the entrance to the living room.
“Aldo, this is a 10-year-old wine for Aisha. He brought it because he liked it the first time he drank it.”
That’s why Elgis offers wine.
If you look at the label on the wine bottle, it says North Ende.
“It’s a decade, but is it good?”
Elgis likes a lot of wine. But can we open a decade of wine for us?
“These are things you can open to make your fun time more fun.”
My concern is Elgis, who says she is useless.
I’m most happy with the feelings and words of Elgis.
“It’s okay. I still have ten years and twenty years left.”
Elgis proudly says that I’m trembling.
Yeah, Elgis likes a lot of wine. It seems that they store a lot of wine besides Nordende.
For the time being I get the wine and put it on the table.
Today is a dinner party for the whole family. You can drink lightly during the day.
“Well, Aldo’s house has also changed a lot. I was surprised because I only saw Aldo moving and Flora moving.”
“Yeah. Recently, no one was using it, probably because ivy was crawling on the outside wall.”
“Oh, but if you look closely you can see a lot of ours. This carpet or the one in Flora’s room, right?”
“That’s right. I can’t imagine it as someone else’s house.”
Elgis and Fiona have such a conversation while sitting on the sofa. It seems to be very peaceful and nothing else.
Watching them, they made a sound of boiling water, so I went to the kitchen.
Then prepare the dishes and brew tea for three people.
I’m nervous because there are people who are much better at brewing tea than I am, but I can’t let busy flora and guests Fiona do it.
I mobilize all the knowledge that Flora has taught and brew tea.
When the tea set is ready, put it on the tray and bring it to Fiona and Elgis.
“I’m sorry to be late. It’s tea.”
“Thank you”
“Thank you”
When I serve tea, Fiona and Elgis bow down carefully.
After all, the two people who are polite are lined up and look good.
With that in mind, I sat down on the sofa in front of me.
Fiona and Elgis tilt the teacup and enjoy the smell of tea without having to drink tea or add honey or sugar.
Both of them are very good at brewing tea, so don’t get nervous.
Some time later, they slowly drank tea into their mouths.
“… I’m not as good at brewing as everyone, but how about the taste?”
When I asked him, Fiona and Elgis smiled.
“I’ve been drinking Aldo’s brewed tea before, but it’s really improved.
“Yes, it’s very delicious. Aldo. I guess Aldo has a good tongue.”
“Thank you, Flora told me.”
Was good. They seemed to have reached the basic level of the two who can be called tea professionals.
Watching them drink satisfactorily, I pat my chest relievedly.
“It was just a bit too steamed. If I brew a little earlier, it tasted more natural.”
Fiona points out with a smile.
After all, Fiona, who enjoys tea every day, seems not sweet.
He turned his eyes to Mr. Elgis and nodded with a bitter smile.
After all, it seems that training is still not enough to make them growl.
I have to behave to Toac, Aisha and Kourne, and practice making delicious black tea.
