It had been a year and a little while since Shaw started living with Hal.

Shaw and Hull, who celebrated the star reception festival and became thirteen together, are now in the North Forest after winter. Of course, Leon and Falco are with us.

In the winter it is the northern forest where demons are activated and hunting demons is a very important task in the northern town. If there are too many demons in the woods, the demons head toward townships, about thirty years ago, but the northern towns are actually hit by major demons.

Over the past few years, demons have seemed to be revitalizing everywhere, and the excellent northern town hunters are at the mercy of each other. In the meantime, only Falco has remained in the northern woods for the past few winters. People in town appreciate Falco, but Shaw actually knows that travel is just a hassle. The hunting arm is certain, but Falco doesn't seem to really want to do anything.

For example, the cheerful and seemingly easy-going Leon changes the color of his eyes when it comes to hunting. That's the same for Gaius, the representative of the town, and the same for Lyla, Falco's mother, and no matter how old she is, she has no spare time to brush her arms as a hunter. Dredd, the Lake Marsh mage, would also go anywhere for his magic to improve. Most of all, Shaw got a little fed up with the fact that he's been in northern town lately in the winter.

"Is there no new magic?"

"Yeah?

And because it's loud. By the way, it is not Shaw, but Hal who is working together properly.

"I wonder if this year will come."

I wish Sarah was as annoying as Shaw, for example.

"Uh, uh, if you use the magic of a hairdryer to dry your laundry quickly, the people in town would be very happy"

"Not so, is there anything you can use for hunting"

"You know, build a windshield before you to protect yourself"

"That's it! I'm not going anywhere for a while until I'm taught that."

"Yeah?

And it's a sight like I've seen somewhere. Shaw looked away, wondering if it was two years ago. And Dread eventually wears the magic that made the dryer convenient.

Such dreads and liras are also being asked by the North Forest this year to stay and hunt in the mountain huts of the North Forest along with the familiar faces of Falco and Leon, Gene and Bibal. Though the mountain hut is tight, it can accommodate a certain number of people, so it's fine with Shaw and Hull combined for eight people.

But there's a good number of hunters. Last year Hal wasn't used to life in the North Forest, so Hal was like an aside, but not this year.

"It's hard to look after the lives of six hunters by yourself. Hire Hal on the same terms. Hal's a magician, and most importantly, he's polite at his job, so you'll get a lot of good herbs."

"I'll do my best!

Shaw, along with Hull, has sued the guild for that and has taken a contract for the two of us to help each adult live in. Initially, residents of northern towns who were worried about Hal's seemingly unreliable appearance have also seen Hal this past year who is solid and can do proper chores instead of a loose look, enough to give Leon a heartbeat when he is relieved to leave it to him.

When Leon most claimed to be the breadwinner, there was so much opposition than Falco. Social trust is higher on Leon, but because his aptitude as a parent was doubted more than Falco.

"Take a woman or a hiccup, a single man with a child? I can't."

And the words of Leon, which I said to Falco, came straight back to Leon. Because we all knew that women, anyway, had no other life force than economic power. Besides, in the same hometown as Shaw, Hull's rumor that he had no parents and had a hard time getting rid of them quickly spread, killing an inquiry that he wanted to raise dearly at his place.

"Live with Shaw and Falco"

to Leon, claiming that

"Leave it to me."

and the townspeople who could, but I have a history of seeing Hal calm with Shaw and convinced Leon that he had no choice but to leave it to his parents.

That means that a year later, Leon proved he could live a decent life as a proper parent, and Hal, as half servant, gained enough trust to take the housekeeper's job.

"Go away"

"Be careful."

Yes, the hunters are still scattered in the north woods today as they loosen their faces to Shaw and Hull, who send them out of the cabin entrance.

"Sa, your job!

"Yeah!"

When the number of people increases, so does the work. The two of us split up and wash the tea bowl, clean it briefly, wash it, and dry it.

"No, Hal's thought of this dry way, that's really nice"

"With so many people, it really helps."

There are two ways. Once you've put the washed laundry in the bucket, there's one other way to shift the bucket slightly and overlay it, pour the magic of the warm wind through the gap, and dry it as you leap through the laundry. Convenient when laundry is low. The other is Shaw and Hull's unique way of doing it, but they dry a lot of laundry in a small room, open the windows and doors a bit, and then pour in the magic of the warm wind for two. It's the only way you can do it without a lot of magic.

"We, the laundromat, look like we could use it."

"I can, I can. That's one option for the future."

"Just for laundry."

"I don't."

Laughing and doing the laundry for eight. Most of all, Hal was well enough to laugh that the lake swamp people would have turned blue if they had seen the magic wasted.

I'm still sleeping with Falco at home, and Shaw, who's about to manage to get a room for one, but the mountain hut was a good opportunity for that.

"I'll make it a room for two with Hal"

Falco looked at Shaw as desperate as he declared. However,

"I think it's time you didn't leave me."

"Leon would be sleeping separately from Hal in the first place."

With the backing of Gene and Bibal, Shaw and Hal are in the same room, a bit like a school trip and fun every day.

"Let's have lunch!

"Yeah. You can have some tea first."

Looks like this fit. And in the afternoon they will defeat the slime and take the herbs. Slime is for pennies, and medicinal herbs are according to a request from the guild.

It is difficult to increase the number of healers because they also have qualities. But if you take the herb and potion it, you can cure the injury even in the absence of a healer. With more demons and more injured hunters these days, Shaw and Hull have an urgent request to pick good quality herbs from the North Forest.

The two of them don't use slime bars anymore. It is handed down to the youth group and makes a good penny for the children. I always use the barrel and chopsticks. 'Cause don't you hate grabbing the nucleus of the slime with your hands? Shaw is a sword, Hal is magical, and he knocks down the stiffness and slime.

"Well, let's pick some herbs"

Hal's voice plays, who loves to pick herbs. When I first harvested the herb, I saw Hal shining my eyes and Shaw thought it was something I knew. When I come to another world, I collect herbs, and this is something I will never be able to remove. But Shaw, like Hal and usually happy to start picking, looked at the woods with some discomfort and standing up.

"Wait. I feel a different sign in the woods. The demons may not come close in the junction, but let's get back to the cabin for once."

"Ugh, yeah. Okay."

Hal didn't know the signs, but I figured if Shaw was going to say so, he would be. Shaw let Hal go first and kept his eyes out of the woods with the door half empty right in front of the cabin.

At the same time that Hal heard the sound of retraction, he also heard people's voices.

"It's not a demon. But I can't believe everyone's coming home at this hour."

There are still signs of vigilance in Shaw's voice. but now, it was Dredd who came out of a different place than the road, and shortly after that, Leon and Falco are holding someone. Long blonde hair swayed clearly.

"Shaw! Lyla's been hit by a demon!

"Carry me inside!

Leon and Falco with Lyra passed through the door that Hal had just opened completely. I get broken clothes and red colors in my eyes. I can't afford to be carrying it upstairs.

"Let me sleep gently on the floor!

This winter, it's going to be a tough start.
