Mira's Cocktail

  I greet the cooling morning sunlight shining through the window as I woke up. Yesterday was rainy the whole day. Our schedule was delayed even further thanks to that, so I’m grateful for the weather today.   The military police had given me the greenlight to leave the town yesterday morning. Mattroc and his subordinates was to…

   A day after defeating the Dark Demonic Dragon. To receive the reward, I dropped by the office together with Ravi. 「Please wait in the innermost room on your right. The responsible officer will be with you in a moment. 」    I was guided by a female receptionist in glasses and headed to the…

   Today’s a cloudy day and it’s cold in the mountain. It’s great that the lush trees are blocking the cold wind.    I looked at Ravi who was wearing my coat. It naturally made me remember our first encounter. It can’t be helped since her one-piece doesn’t ward the cold very well, but the…

  As I stared into the water from the riverside. It’s clear and beautiful. I can even make out the figures of the fishes swimming. Some sizable fish are also swimming in it. It seems that it wouldn’t be a trouble finding food.   I moved downstream and washed my dirty hands there. As I scooped a handful of water…

   After that incident, we welcomed the dawn without getting attacked by wild animals or demonic beings. I saw the sun that hid behind the tree lines as I stretched both of my hands upwards. Even if I slept in an uncomfortable environment, there wasn’t any pain in my joints.    It’s completely different from…
