I went downstairs with some anxiety, and saw Alice sitting at the table, holding her face with her left hand, her back facing me, and I couldn't see her expression, so I didn't know if she was still angry.

It's okay now. You won't suddenly wake up and pinch me again....

When I approached from the side, I saw Alice frowning there, but now my attention was completely attracted by the chubby face on the side.

I suddenly wanted to pinch it twice as a prank, so I stretched out my hand, but as soon as I reached halfway, Alice put her hand down, and then turned to look at me.

"Is the fight with Seluka finally over?"Alice curled her lips and looked at me and the half-raised hand with an unhappy look on her face.

"What are you doing with your hands up?"

"Ah, it's okay....And I wasn't joking, I just wanted to wake her up."

I quickly took my hand back. After all, it feels weird to say that I want to pinch your face."

"Hmm, who knows? I don't think so. Aren't you two having a lot of fun?"Alice glanced at me, without any look of belief in her eyes.

I looked at Alice, who was obviously unhappy, and when I wanted to explain, there was a creaking sound of wooden boards behind me.

When I saw my sister coming down, Alice's face A smile appeared immediately, and he ignored me and said to Seluka:"Ah, Seluka, go wash your hands and eat."

When he sees me, he frowns and cries, but when he sees his sister, he smiles. This difference in treatment is not big!

But what can I do about this?

I can only shrug and express my helplessness.

——————————

"tear~~"I took a sip of the soup and looked satisfied. Alice seemed to be in a better mood after seeing this scene. Her originally angry expression softened a lot, and the corners of her mouth began to turn up.

I glanced at the two of them, and then my eyes fell on Alice. The person who noticed my gaze cast a doubtful look.

"Alice, would you like to take a rest first in the afternoon?"I suggested to Alice after eating the bread in my mouth.

"Um? I don't think it's necessary."Alice showed a slight smile and waved her hand.

"How could it not be necessary? Seluka was already exhausted. Although you are two years older than her, you usually only practice sacred arts. You should be very tired from such actions in the morning."

"And after you came back, you directly helped us prepare lunch, so it was time for you to take a rest."I said step by step.

"It really doesn't matter. I usually do housework, so this little thing won't tire me out."As she spoke, Alice rolled up her sleeves and showed off her arms, but when I took a look, there were no muscles at all on her flawless arms, and they didn't look strong at all....

"Forehead...."I frowned, closed my teeth, and took a slow breath through my mouth, with a look of suspicion in my eyes.

Even if you say that, even a person with thin arms and legs like you wouldn’t want to do it!!

"What's your expression?"I showed a complicated expression and Alice saw it.

"No, no, I wasn't thinking about anything, I was really just worried."I shook my head and hands back and forth quickly, finally getting into a good mood, but I didn't want to get angry again.

"You really don’t have to force it. We can go back to the herbs tomorrow. The evening is exactly the time for the jumping bunny activity. In this case..."I cautiously propose again

"I said no need!"Alice put her hands on the table and stared at me unblinkingly with her big watery eyes....I watched Alice, who exuded the majesty of a tough sister, be defeated again....

Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve given in.....

I leaned back on my chair helplessly and took a sip of the soup without looking at Alice.

Okay, whatever you say is what it is

"I said you won't forget me, I'm going too."When I thought it was over, a dull voice came from beside Alice.

"ha? No, Seluka, you should rest at home. After all, your feet haven't fully recovered yet."

I've finished cooperating with my sister. Now it's time to deal with my sister's affairs.

"In that case, don’t worry. Although it’s not as good as my sister’s, I’ve also been treated with light."

"Why? If you do that, you will still feel sore next time...."I don't understand this behavior

"I know, but I have to go today."Seluka calmly took a sip of the soup.

One or two of you...

There was nothing I could do about these two sisters, so I could only place my hope in my sister. Alice, who received my look for help, expressed her understanding.

"Seluka, let’s take a good rest at home."

Alice looked up and down at Seluka who had changed into new clothes.

"After all, I just put on a new dress, and I have to climb vines in the afternoon. Not only will it get dirty, but it may even get torn, so I'd better stay at home."Alice touched Seluka's head and pointed to Seluka's new skirt.

After all, Seluka usually wears a nun's uniform, and she only wears skirts a few times on her days off.

"I know that, so I'll change out of my clothes later. I'm only wearing them now because Swain chose them for me."

Even I can hear a certain show-off tone in Seluka's words.

"Hey~Sven chose it~~"Alice smiled and looked at me with squinted eyes.

Suddenly I felt hairy and goosebumps all over my body. What was going on! ? Can I still feel in danger at home? I raised my head in panic, but what I saw was two sisters living in harmony.

I didn't hear the conversation between the two of them clearly during the meal just now, so I had no idea what was going on.

Um? illusion?

But now it feels like it lasts forever!!

I looked back and forth but nothing really seemed out of the ordinary.

I finished my lunch uneasily with this strange feeling.

————————————

In the afternoon, we escaped from the sun when it was at its worst and came to the north of the village. The terrain here is completely different from that in the south. To the south of the village is a dense forest, while to the north is a mountainous area with complex terrain, and there is also a huge river here..

Exiting the wooden bridge at the north gate of the village, we headed north along the river, passing the orchard and windmill house of Miss Narela and Mr. Malos, and then passed a wooden bridge to the Twin Lakes.

This is formed by two small lakes, and people usually come here to fish. The source of the lake is in the mountains in the distance, and the river flows further south after circumventing the village.

"Huh~~ If you go further and cross the wooden bridge at the Twin Lakes in front, you should be not far from the target cliff."I stretched out my hand to wipe the sweat on my forehead, picked up the water bottle on my waist and took a sip of water.

"....."

"That should be right."

I turned around and glanced behind me. Seluka seemed to be in a high mood. She would always say yes to whatever I said, but Alice was a little different. She was not as energetic as usual. She didn't say a word along the way, and even Didn't look at me once

"well~~"I can't do anything about Alice's inexplicable mood.

"Well, do you want to drink water?"I handed over the kettle that had not been covered, but Alice still ignored me.

"OK, uh uh~~!"Seluka, who was relatively interested, reached out his hand from the side and took away the water bottle and took a few sips.

"Okay, sister, you should take a few sips too."Alice quickly took the kettle handed out by Seluka.

Although girls who get into trouble are also very cute, it's a shame you don't mind the trouble....

Alice brushed a few strands of golden hair behind her ears, raised the water bottle and took a few sips. After finishing the drink, a smile appeared on her face again, but it disappeared immediately after seeing me....

Soon, Alice handed the kettle to Seluka, and then Seluka handed the kettle to me who was dazed....

I took it with a wry smile and was speechless, not understanding the meaning of this unexplained behavior.

"So let's keep going."I glanced at the village in the distance.

We continued walking, but I always felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot as we went north. I glanced at the sun, which was already a little skewed.

"Maybe it's because it's by the water."I didn't think it was important, so I didn't care about it.

Finally we came to the bottom of a cliff. It was not a cliff formed by a whole side of stone slabs, but made up of several parts. There were many platforms in the middle for resting. Moreover, it is covered with green vines, so climbing should not be difficult, and there are several thick ropes hanging from the top, which is even more advantageous.

"This should be it."I looked up and estimated the distance of about ten meters.

I put down the two ropes I was carrying and tied them around my waist respectively. Then I handed the two ends of the two ropes and the gloves to the two of them. In my hand, although Seluka took it in the end......

It's not too much trouble...

While the two of us were tying the rope, I was looking at the best place to climb, a place with small undulations and lots of protruding rocks and footholds.

Soon the two of them were ready, and I checked the rope one last time

"Remember, if something happens, grab the rope first....Alice, your ties are loose."

I gave the last instructions to the two of them, but after seeing that Alice's rope was a little loose, I reached out and hugged Alice to help her tie the rope again.

"Alas alas!"

"Okay, let's get ready to go, using the wind element."I laughed secretly and ignored Alice's reaction, but it didn't show on the surface.

When I stood upright and faced the cliff, used wind element and started climbing, the two of them realized and hurriedly used wind element to chase me.

————————

"Hey, duh!"

Soon a hand appeared on the edge of the top of the cliff.

"Finally reached the top..."

I first grabbed the edge of the cliff with one hand, then grabbed the thick rope next to it with the other hand, and pushed myself up with both feet at the same time.

I didn't rest, but immediately grabbed a rope and pulled up the people below.

I first pulled Sellu up. After all, she didn't have much physical strength left.

"One, two, come up."Because the wind element was applied a few times on the platform in the middle, I could pull up Seluka relatively easily.

But when it was Alice's turn, it was not so easy. It's not that the wind element was heavy, but because of the reduction in wind element. The heavy effect is gone, and it looks like Alice is really tired in this last part.

"Uh-huh!!"I carefully pulled Alice to prevent her from bumping into her.

Although she also assisted by placing the main weight of her body on the footholds of the vines and rocks, the effect was not great.

"Euler! ah...."

"Sorry, Swain."

Alice, who was pulled up by me, is now kneeling on the side, and I also took this opportunity to lie on the ground and rest for a while. After all, I was basically the one who pulled them up in the second half of the journey.

"S-Sven, are you okay?"Alice crawled over and looked at my face

"Ang, it's okay, but let me rest here for a while. You should go find the herbs first."I waved my hand. After all, this is nothing to me now. In fact, I just want to lie here for a while....

"Huh, that's good. You can have a good rest here. Let's go find what Miss Tatia needs first."

"Brother, thank you for your hard work."

I left the picking to them, and I got up and found a big tree a little further in and leaned against it, with an unknown weed in my mouth.
