Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

「With this, we can go on a journey without any worries」
「What!?」「Haa!?」「N?」「Oh?」

In order, Derrick-sama, Wald-sama, Callan-sama, and Risner-sama .
All of them let out silly voices because of my announcement .
Are? Did I not tell them before?

「Takumi, are you leaving Shirin?」
「Yes . I actually wanted to leave earlier, but I was concerned about the matter with Baron Gilbert」

At least, I wanted to resolve the matter with『Gold Wheat’s Shop』before going on a journey .
I think that if the problem were only the slave trader, I would quickly leave the town . It would look like running away, but dealing with fellows like that is troublesome .
I think it was good that all the problems got settled as a result .

「Have you decided on your destination?」
「I thought about going south towards the sea」
「I see… so you are staying in the country…」

When I said that I’m『Going south』, the four people made expressions of relief .
Is that it? Do they want to keep human resources in the country?
In a case of emergency, the magnitude of the damage will change depending on the available fighting power . It must be something that Knights must consider at all times .

「The south, is it? Which means, Bailey?」
「Yes, that’s right」

The destination has been pretty much decided on the port Bailey on the Southwest of Guardia .
The season is already a complete summer . It’s all about sea when it comes to summer, right?

I thought about showing the sea to Allen and Elena .
Ordinary people would travel from town to town, and it would take at least a month by carriage to arrive . If that would be the case, summer would already be at its final stage, so I intend to ride Joule and others, that way we can expect to arrive in a few days .
Because of that, there’s no need to hesitate .

「Takumi-san, here」
「A letter? Risner-sama, this is?」

Risner-sama hands me a single letter .
Hearing our destination, Risner-sama borrowed tools from Callan-sama and wrote it on the spot .

「It’s a letter of introduction to the feudal lord of Bailey」
「Eh!?」

To think it was for the feudal lord-sama!?
I inadvertently retracted the hand I was about to receive the letter with .

「Bailey’s feudal lord is my acquaintance . I will contact him so definitely visit him when you arrive in Bailey . I don’t mind if you force him to support bakery, etc . 」
「Eeh!?」

Not “rely on” but “I don’t mind if you force him”…… What are you saying! As expected, something like that is not possible .
Risner-sama continues to present me the letter while grinning .
Ah~ the well-prepared smile…… it’s not something I can go against~
I look around asking for help, but as expected no one wants to help me . If I had to say they have a “receive it” feeling .
I decided to accept it gratefully .
Even so, I have no intention of forcing my troubles on him . Let’s rely on him only when in a difficult situation .
I may ask him to support the bakery, though……

After finishing my business with the Knights, I visited the Adventurer’s Guild, Road-san, and the Inn to say goodbye .

When I said we are leaving, everyone was surprised . We were detained at the Adventurer’s Guild .
Luna-san particularly had a very sorrowful look on her face, she looked like she would start clinging to me at any moment .
It must be because I’m an important supplier of material from Gaya Forest . I feel slightly empty inside that there was no love element involved………

The next morning was an ideal day for the departure .
We departed from Shirin and soon walked off the highway . After confirming that there are no people around, I summoned my Contracted beasts .

『Waffu』『Gau』『Pii』

The three immediately nestle close to me .

「O~ Yoshyosh」

I could hardly summon the Contracted beasts before . They may be sulky that it took so long to call them .
First of all, I decided to pat them to their heart’s content .
After the three animals had been satisfied to a certain degree, I conveyed the calling matter .

「Joule and Feat will transport us」
『Waffu』『Gau』
「Bolt will fly in the sky and keep track of human presences」
『Pii』

As the three replied in acknowledgment, I promptly seated Allen and Elena on Joule and climbed on Feat’s back myself .
I told Joule and Feat to start running along Gaya Forest .
Just in case, I had Bolt to fly up and watch from above .
Like that, it’s less probable to meet people . I can’t help but think that meeting with people would be troublesome .

I imagine riding on S-Rank monsters would make a ruckus . Therefore, just in case .

Sometimes, a monster emerges from within Gaya Forest . Then, Joule and Feat would lower us down and go to defeat it .
Iya~ Our kids are strong . They defeat most of the opponents in a single blow . As expected of S-Rank monsters . How reliable .
Moreover, they return bringing the defeated monsters in their mouths, how considerable .

「「Good child~」」

Allen and Elena praise Joule and Feat who returned from the hunt . Good child, good child, they pat their heads .
Even if Allen and Elena stand on their tiptoes, they are not able to reach Joule’s and Feat’s heads . Because of that, Joule and Feat lower their heads to make it easier .
It’s little clumsy, but a heartwarming scene .

『Waffu』『Gau』
「Haa~! Wait a moment!!」

After having their heads patted, this time Joule and Feat tried to lick Allen’s and Elena’s faces back, so I stop them in panic .

「Joule, Feat, don’t lick!! Haven’t you just bite on the Bloody Bear!? Your mouths are bloody!!」
『Waffu!?』『Gau!?』

Joule and Feat stiffen with a twitch .
What!? …… they look at me with such expression .
You are really easy to understand, but I can’t help but think you are not beasts……

「Look, I will make you neatly clean so don’t move . 《Washing》」
『Waffu!』『Gau!』
「「Ukya~」」

The moment Joule and Feat became clean they started licking Allen’s and Elena’s faces .
Ah, they pushed Allen and Elena down……
O~i . Be careful not to squash them~
Seeing such situation, Bolt cries『Pii』on top of my shoulder . For some reason, it felt like he was saying… good grief .
Because Allen and Elena are having fun I didn’t stop them, just moved closer in case Joule and Feat will start crushing them .

「「Unya~」」
『Waffu~』『Gau~』
「Uo!」

While playing with each other, the two children and two animals suddenly charged at me .
It’s okay if it’s just Allen and Elena, but as expected I won’t be able to catch two big animals . In short, I have been pushed down .
Ah, Bolt has evacuated……
The two children and two animals looked with a joyful expression of success .

「You~」

First, I tickle Allen and Elena who fell on me with all my might .
After that, I got up and rubbed Joule’s and Feat’s cheeks .

「「Ukya~」」
『Waffuu~』『Gauu~』

Oya? You are happy?
I intended to do that as punishment, but it looks like I was unsuccessful .
But oh~ well .
In the end, we played until all of us were satisfied .
