It was an early morning on the day they will begin travel to Isteria.
In the middle of the room, that was illuminated by a portable oil lantern, Kazura was reexamining the content of his sack-bag[1], which he thought will be useful in the travel.
The sack-bag was borrowed from Valetta yesterday. It was a bag that was made by tightly knitting plant fiber.
The content of that sack-bag was food, like Lipo-D[2], but it also contained bandages, antiseptic solution, first aid kit and so forth. Those, together with the portable oil lantern in this room, were purchased at an outdoor shop yesterday.
The sky outside the window was still dim. The sun still concealed behind the mountains.
Usually, Kazura would still be sleeping at this time, but Valetta woke him up today to inform that they will soon depart, thus, Kazura did a final check on his luggage.
He had changed his clothes and put on Valin’s clothes that he had borrowed 2 days before. With just a passing glance, Kazura looked similar to the other villagers.
After Kazura finished with his luggage check, while carrying the sack-bag, he exited the room.
✦✧✦✧
「Have I kept you waiting? Sorry for being late.」
Kazura arrived at the living room and saw Valetta already prepared and waiting while reading a book in front of the fire in the hearth.
On top of Valetta’s usual garments, she was wearing a leather mantle. She really looked like a traveler.
「No need to apologize since the other villagers haven’t arrived yet. It’s all right.」
Valetta put the book that she was reading inside her bag, stood up and presented the nearby mantle to Kazura.
「Although this is my Father’s, I hope that Kazura-san could wear it. Even though it’s already summer, the night is still cold.」
「Oh! It’s the first time I wear something like mantle. It is something nifty.」
Kazura received the mantle and immediately Valetta taught him how to wear it.
The cloth mantle had fur lining affixed to it, so it was quite warm.
If someone slept outdoors, he could use it as blanket and wouldn’t be bothered by the cold wind.
「This is quite warm...Hm? Valetta-san, what are you wearing on your waist?」
Kazura shifted his attention to Valetta, between the gaps of her mantle he could see a flat board shaped object fastened horizontally on her waist.
「Ah, you mean this? This is a Dagger[3].」
Valetta move her mantle away, then with a familiar movement she drawn the bronze dagger from its scabbard, and lastly, she displayed it in front of her.
The blade length was about 40 cm, while the width was about 6 cm. The sight of the sharp blade reflecting the dim light from the hearth was quite impressive.
Since Valetta was a girl with a slender body shape, Kazura felt a sense of incongruity when looking at her.
Look at how happy is she.
「.......Eerr, does Valetta-san know how to wield a sword?」
「Yes, since Father taught me, I can use swords and spears. But, I am not really proficient with either of them..... I keep being scolded by Father whenever we practice.」
Valetta made a bitter smile. With a smooth action, she turned the dagger in her right hand and put it back in its scabbard.
Kazura was troubled in what kind of comment he should make, while Valetta wore her mantle and pick up her luggage from the floor.
「Then, since everyone will soon gather, should we outside?」
She then walked toward the residence’s entrance.
✦✧✦✧
「Ano. I think I should be the one who carry that...」 (Val)
「No, you shouldn’t. Let me carry this myself. Because it’s my selfish wish to tag along to the town.」(Kaz)
Valetta’s kept objecting while being troubled about Kazura who showed her a wry smile. He was carrying a wooden rack with tied up firewood.[4] In this fashion, both of them exited the residence.
The firewood that Kazura was carrying was to be sold in the city. Valetta had previously gathered it and stacked them on the dirt floor. Of course, he felt awkward when he thought that this girl was going to carry the heavy firewood while he would only be carrying the luggage. So, he decided to be the one to carry the firewood.
The firewood that he carried, although already desiccated, was still quite heavy. It might even be high quality firewood.[5]
