Chapter 375 – Everyone Goes to Tom’s House

Elkay had calmed down quite a bit, so I started working as a guard for Mulg again.

But I was still worried about Elkay.

I would have to check on the orphans at Tom and Kay’s sometime soon.

Also needed to train my pupil, Steff, in magic since she was living with them now.

Needed to check on the prisoners next to the agent’s house as well.

I finally made my way there after worrying over days and found my worries were unfounded.

The wholesaler and his crew were obedient and the orphans were all working hard.

Millia’s new store was near Tom’s house as well.

She brought many new goods there and the orphans helped her with everything.

Tant was happy as well.

They lived well with Tom and the orphan leader helped Millia with whatever he could.

It was two weeks after we had captured the wholesaler.

I was eating breakfast, and the little elf girl Collette said to me,

「Old man! Old man!」

「Hm? What is it?」

「I wanna go to Elkay too!」

「Sure, want to see the place?」

「Yay! I get to go withsth the old man!」

Millet looked a bit worried.

「Is it really okay?」

「Elkay’s pretty much at peace now. You want to come too, Millet?」

「Yes, I do. I want to see Steff and Tant again.」

「Okay, then let’s all go.」

Vi-Vi said, also nodding.

She frequently stayed in Mulg until morning and then would go to Elkay until night.

She was busy helping Yureena and Millia.

「Ah, I’ll go too. I want to see Tant and the other kids. I don’t have to oversee what’s going on in my realm today.」

It had been a while since Cruz had gone there. She was busy with her work as a marquise.

「That realm of yours has kept you busy.」

Luka had been busy working on restoring the adventurer’s guild in Elkay.

They had a lot to do as well.

「I want to go too, but I have business in the capital.」

Yureena said, always busy.

Timi was listening and added,

「I’ll go as well.」

「ryaa ryaa!」

Shiggy cried happily upon hearing that.

So we finished breakfast and,

「Be careful everyone!」

「Tell Millia I said hi. If she has any trouble, just let me know.」

We saw Vallimie off as well as Yureena, and then ventured to Elkay.

「PiGii!」

I noticed that Chel was riding on top of Femm.

「You can come too, Chel.」

『No work today.』

Seems that Chel was taking a day off work at his village.

I wondered what work Chel was doing there in the first place.

I would have to go to Chelnovillage and see myself sometime.

So we arrived at Tom’s place, and Kay and the other kids ran out to see us.

「Old man! Wewcome!」「Old man!」

The kids jumped all around me.

「I’m back. Nice to see you all in good spirits.」

「Yeah! We have a lot of customers!」

「Is that so?」

Tom was surprised to see all of us.

There were many guests, but this was the first time he had seen Millet and Collette.

Everyone else had visited Mulg but them.

That’s why it was the four’s first meeting.

「My name is Millet. Nice to meet you.」

「Are you Kay? I’m Collette from Mulg.」

「I’m Kay!」

「And I’m Tom, nice to meet you two.」

After introductions, Collette called to all the other kids,

「Everyone, letsth play!」

「Okay!」

The kids ran around, and Shiggy stuck her beak out of my pouch.

「ryaa!」

「You want to play too?」

「ryaa ryaa!」

Shiggy flapped her wings and jumped on Collette’s head.

Then the kids all danced around Shiggy.

Seeing this, Millet said,

「Tom, here’s a gift from Mulg.」

「Wha? Can I really have it?」

「Sure!」

Millet took out some freshly baked cookies.

「Kay, we got these from Millet!」

「Thank you Millet!」

Kay bowed a quick bow.

Then Tom called to Millia, Leah, and Leo.

「Got some cookies, let’s have some! And some tea as well.」

「Thank you!」

Everyone sat the table together, including me.

Even the little kids sat down politely.

Tom’s table was a very large one, large enough to seat everyone.

Tom also poured the tea as we all ate the cookies Millet had made.

「Delicious!」

「Yeah, they’re very good!」

Tom and Kay were very appreciative.

Millet always cooked good food, so it was nice that Tom and Kay got to appreciate it.

「Heh heh, Millet’sth good at making cookiesth…」

Collette was very proud of her sister.

「Shiggy have some too!」

「Try one, Mr. Shiggy.」

「ryaaa」

One of the kids slipped Shiggy a cookie.

For some reason, Tant had started calling Shiggy, “Mr. Shiggy.”

I guess because Shiggy was the one that comforted Tant the most when we first found her.

Chel jumped up onto my knee.

Femm and Moofy were next to me, both seated.

「ryaam ryam」

And so the kids took turns in feeding Shiggy.

Shiggy was still small but chomped away at whatever she was fed.

Even if she ate a lot, she hardly ever seemed full.

Vi-Vi ate some as well and fed Moofy while she did so.

「You really make good snacks, Millet.」

「MOoomph Mooph」

「Thank you very much.」

「Yeah, thanks as always, Millet.」

「Mister Al, don’t make me blush!」

And so, because everyone was complimenting her, she turned red.

I handed Femm and Chel some of the snacks too.

『Good!』

「PiggGi」

The beasts were all quite happy.
