I didn’t know how to answer for a while.

"Rita was very talented when she was alive. She had a lot of knowledge in housekeeping and cooking. Thanks to Rita, I gained a lot of knowledge."

"Oh, then you will definitely be a good wife in the future."

"Well, well..."

Qian Zhihe seemed a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

Hmm... You are worthy of me for making such a disgusting joke with an innocent girl.

Later, our conversation ended in a hurry because Marcia came and called the paper crane away.

......

...What is going on?

It's a weekend, the weather... I haven't confirmed it yet because I haven't gone out yet.

“The coffee tastes good.”

"Thank you."

Qian Zhihe expressed his appreciation for my craftsmanship, and I thanked him in return.

"But the cookies taste a little weird."

"Really? How strange..."

It’s not surprising at all.

After all, I found these cookies from an unknown corner, and the time of making them is...unknown.

But at least it's not expired - Raya doesn't keep anything that's expired.

"Ah, don't mind. I'm very grateful for your hospitality. I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."

"No, no, you're welcome..."

Whether to entertain or not is not the point at all, okay?

"Let me tell you, Thousand Paper Cranes..."

I lowered my voice subconsciously:

"What...are you doing here?"

The time now is...near noon.

The current location is a tailor shop—that is, my residence.

The characters now... One is Qianzhi, who is wearing a guard uniform and is sitting calmly in the store looking at me. The other is me who has just woken up and has just recovered.<

/p>

Before that, I seemed to have brought coffee and cookies to Qianzhihe in a daze... It didn't matter.

What's important is why the other person is here?

"...? What are you talking about? Of course I'm here to find you."

As if he didn't understand what I said, Qian Zhihe frowned.

"Looking for me? Is there something urgent?"

"Huh? Didn't we agree to meet today?"

"Well..."

"At little sister Raya's birthday party."

Qian Zhihe reminded.

However, I still have no impression.

Ah...could it be that Gail said something when I was so annoyed that she couldn't bear it...

"That's it."

Let me pretend to remember it for now.

Raya and Miss Polly went out to buy items early in the morning and have not returned yet. In other words, Qian Zhihe and I are the only two people in the store.

There was a little bit of cookie crumbs left on the corner of Qianzhihe's mouth, and his big bright eyes looked at me motionlessly.

"..."

"..."

"What, what's wrong?"

"You're in pretty good shape."

"Because I have some free time."

Qian Zhihe smiled.

Since the "assistant" arrived in the town, Qian Zhihe has not been so busy.

I handed the paper towel to Paper Crane and took away the small plate with the remaining cookies.

When I do these things, I have a feeling of familiarity, like an old housekeeper.

After I took care of the dishes, I spent a long time washing my hands. When I came back, I found the paper crane staring at me without saying a word.

"......?"

"Um, your mysophobia hasn't been cured yet?"

"Cure? I don't think mysophobia is a disease."

Hey, how did she find out that I have mysophobia?

"Eh..."

For some reason, Qianzhihe's tone was a little subtle, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

This guy...just say it if you have something to say.

Wait...

...No, this is not the time to leisurely think about such inexplicable things.

"Anyway, let's go out first."

"Ah...ok."

But Qianzhihe didn't give me a chance to think, so he urged me to set off.

After we left the door, we walked for a while in silence. After my groggy mind was completely clear...

"By the way, where are we going?"

I asked the question I should have asked a long time ago.

"Church."

Church?

"Going there to visit?"

"Well, didn't we agree? I think... even you rarely go to church."

It's true that Qian Zhihe understands me quite well.

The town of Weige is not that big. As a lonely old man who has lived for more than a hundred years, I have naturally visited all parts of the town.

But as a church, a place with a sense of ritual, I often only cast a casual glance at it when passing by, and never thought about "going in and taking a look."

"Are you also a Wang Tujiao?"

I asked.

As far as I know, the church she was referring to belongs to [Wangtu Religion] - Wangtu Religion is one of the most widely believed religions in the Saint Vance Empire.

By the way, the word "ye" in my words does not mean that I believe in Wangtu Sect.

"Well... that's right."

It took more than twenty minutes to walk from the tailor shop to the church. When I saw the door of the church, the air was already cooked by the scorching sun.

At noon in summer, the outdoor environment is no longer suitable for squatting at home like me.

I really want to go to a cool place quickly.

Qian Zhihe seemed to feel the same way, so she didn't stop at the door of the church and walked in with me without a word of introduction - probably because she didn't think it was necessary.

"Huh——"

As soon as I entered the church, I felt extremely comfortable due to the cool air hitting my face.

Although there are no technological creations such as air conditioners in the magical world, there are refrigeration magic appliances that have almost the same function as air conditioners. The only difference is that they are powered by magic.
