Volume 1 Chapter 14 My Sister Nana And The Ceremony Of Revelation

 Two years have passed since the Stampede battle, and Rumi and I are now 9 years old.

 After that fight, nothing much happened, and we’ve been living peaceful days.

 This spring, my little sister Nana finally turned 5, so we decided to go to the dungeon city Somirkas again to have her participate in the ‘Ceremony of Revelation’ at the church!

 Unlike my last time, this trip to Somirkas includes the whole family.

 Rumi is also joining us as part of the family.

 Since we’re all going together, we plan to stay a few nights there and check out various shops before heading back.

 Rumi and I are really excited to challenge the Somirkas dungeon, but we can’t enter yet because we need adventurer qualifications.

 It’s a bit frustrating.

 Early in the morning, we got on a shared carriage heading to Somirkas and left Grove Village.

 Inside the bumpy carriage, I was staring at my little sister Nana.

 Nana was happily munching on snacks while glancing at me.

 (Nana’s affection for me is 30… Why hasn’t it increased at all in the last 4 years?)

 ”…? …Rob, why are you staring at Nanna with a serious face?”

 At Rumi’s voice, I looked up.

 It seems my feelings were showing on my face.

 Rumi, who was snuggled up to me while talking, made my heart feel a little lighter.

 (Rumi’s affection for me is 200. It’s definitely maxed out. I wish she could share some of that affection with Nana.)

 As we leisurely rode in the carriage down the street, the merchant uncle who often came to buy my mom’s Magic Power recovery potions from Grove Village approached us from the other side.

 When the merchant uncle stopped his carriage, we also came to a halt.

 ”Hey, isn’t that Mr. Izana and Mrs. Emma! I was just heading to Grove Village to buy more of Mrs. Emma’s magic potions!”

 ”Oh, Mr. Cresson, thank you for always coming to buy from us. I have a little less stock right now, but would you like to buy some?”

 My mom smoothly pulled out 6 bottles of Magic Power recovery potions from her space pocket.

 ”Wow! I would love to buy them! That’s 6 gold coins, one for each bottle, right? Please confirm!”

 ”I confirm. Thank you! …We have other things too, would you like to take a look?”

 ”Absolutely! Wow, Mrs. Emma’s potions are so effective that they always sell out quickly!”

 It seemed like a business deal was starting.

 This might take a while…

 (…I need to get either a space warehouse or a magic bag by the time I become an adventurer.)

 My Magic Power is about to max out, so I’ll be able to learn time-space magic from my mom soon.

 …But I probably won’t be able to create a space warehouse right away…

 We arrived at the dungeon city of Somirkas just around noon.

 We were a little late due to my mom’s business talk and the rare appearance of some thieves, but it wasn’t a big deal.

 We cheerfully greeted the guard and passed through the gate.

 The city is as lively as ever, and as soon as we enter, the delicious smells of grilled meat and fried snacks from many stalls fill the air.

 Plus, there are beautiful magic stones and monster eggs? These are things you would never see on Earth, and just looking at them makes me excited.

 ”Mama, I’m hungry~…”

 ”I’m hungry too, Mom!”

 It seems like Nana is hungry, so I join in and show that I’m hungry too!

 ”…Rob, weren’t you sneaking some food earlier?”

 I activate ‘Thought Sharing.’

 (Rumi, you don’t need to say unnecessary things! My sister is hungry, so even if I’m full, I’m definitely going to act like I’m hungry!)

 (Ugh~… Rob is saying weird things~!)

* * *

 We decided to have lunch at a noodle shop called ‘Adventure of Udon.’

 ”Welcome! A table for 5, right? Please go to that table! We have 5 guests here!!”

 The cheerful greeting from the staff and the pleasant aroma wafting from inside the shop made our stomachs growl instantly.

 ”Alright, everyone must be hungry. Order whatever you like.”

 said the reliable Dad Izana as he looked around at us.

 ”Wow~… There are so many unusual dishes!”

 Mom said, taking her time to decide what to eat.

 ”Mama, I want this! I want to eat this!”

 Nana quickly decided what she wanted. Her eyes are sparkling!

 ”Rob, let’s share our food~♪”

 Rumi said, feeling embarrassed while our parents watched with smiles.

 ”I’m good with sharing with Nana!”

 So, I’m doing my best to be liked by my little sister.

 I thought it would take a while to decide on the unusual dishes, but surprisingly, everyone made their choices quickly.

 Dad chose ‘Super Spicy Udon.’

 Since Dad loves the curry in this town, it makes sense that he picked this.

 The spicy flavor is perfect for Dad, who loves hot food.

 Mom chose ‘Seafood Udon.’

 It looks really good and seems healthy too!

 I wanted to eat this, Mom.

 My little sister Nana chose ‘Mystery Udon.’

 It’s a noodle dish with completely unknown ingredients… Why did you pick such a mysterious dish, Nana?

 Rumi chose ‘Dessert Udon.’

 This totally feels like a date for Rumi!

 It’s a perfect choice for Rumi, who loves sweet things.

 I chose ‘Mystery Udon’ too.

 I never thought I would end up eating such a punishment-like dish…

 But I’ll do my best to finish it!

 An hour later, we were all full and left the restaurant feeling happy.

* * *

 We arrived in front of the church.

 ”We’ll wait outside, so you go on in. I think it’ll be fine, but make sure to be polite to the priest.”

 Yeah, this is almost the same thing Dad told me when I was here before.

 ”Okay, I’m going in!”

 Nana replied cheerfully.

 Nana said the same thing I did back then.

 We really are siblings!

* * *

 About 30 minutes later, Nana came back to us.

 Mom smiled at Nana and gently asked how it went.

 ”Welcome back, Nana. Were you feeling lonely by yourself?”

 ”Ugh, I’m back, Mama!”

 Nana dashed over to Mom and hugged her tightly.

 ”Alright, how about we go shopping at various stores in this town?”

 Dad suggests the next activity to everyone.

 Since everyone agrees, shopping is next.

 We decided to visit clothing stores because Mom wanted to buy clothes for everyone.

 Rumi comes closer to me and asks,

 ”Rob, do you think this looks good on me?”

 ”Yeah, I think it looks good!”

 ”How about this one? Does it look good too?”

 ”Yeah, of course, I think it looks good.”

 ”Ugh… Rob, your answers are all the same…”

 ”Well, what can I say? They really all look good on you!”

 Rumi smiles brightly and starts choosing more clothes.

 After enjoying shopping for a while, we stayed at an inn in the town, feeling pleasantly tired as we ended the day.
