We were camping outside that day.

"We were somehow able to dispose of that ridiculous amount of food at a high price."

Because the south's famine was already resolved, we had to come to the North and sell.
Though there is still one cart of food left, it is for that absurdly gluttonous bird.

"Food~~!"

The bird stuffs her head into the cart and starts devouring.

"Delicious~!"

I've heard the annoying phrase somewhere before.
Although this fellow's growth is over, she's still a glutton. The everyday food costs are nothing to scoff at. On the other hand we travel extremely fast.
However, the carriage goes through some abuse as various unreasonable actions are performed.
The repair costs are also quite hefty......

"What should I do"

In this case, maybe the carriage should be made of metal instead of wood. Filo is also complaining about how light it is, and considering the higher durability.
Raphtalia overcame her motion sickness, but the g-force from Filo's full speed is ridiculous.
Maybe the shock will be reduced if i add in a spring.
My money has been accumulating nicely. I'm looking forward to meeting the old man from the weapon shop.
That weapon shop in the center of the castle town sells the best weapons.
I don't know where the other heroes buy weapons and armour, but I haven't found a shop that sells better equipment than the old man's weapon shop.

"Master~"

Squish...... Filo hugs me and presses her feathers feathers to my face
It's the north so it's a bit cold. Therefore, Filo's feathers that have her body temperature are nice and warm.

"Ehehe~"
"Muu......"

For some reason after I sit down Raphtalia also clings to me.

"Hehehe, everyone is nice and warm together"
"It's getting quite hot for me......"

Though I don't leave this position because it's still somewhat chilly.

"Filo get off. The temperature will be just right after that."
"No~, If anyone should get off it's Raphtalia onee-chan. Stop monopolizing Master!"
"I'm not monopolizing anything!"

Noisy!

"Both of you go to sleep!"
"But......"
"Master~ let's sleep together~!"
"I need to prepare medicine before we arrive at the east area."

In response to the large amount of medical herbs i've acquired, I start mixing treatment medicine zealously.
Though you never know whether or not you have enough......That is the difficulties of peddling.

"Boo......"

Filo parts from me and sulks to sleep.
At the same time Raphtalia enters the carriage. Rather than it being comfortable, it's preferable to sleeping on the ground.

"Now then."

I continue to work on the medicine while tending the fire.

"Naofumi-sama"
"Hm?"

I heard Raphtalia's voice from the carriage.
Then I see Raphtalia beckoning me to the carriage.

"What's wrong?"
"...... Can we sleep together?"
"You too?.....honestly"

Though they look like adults they are still children. Being lonely is a given.

"How bout you sleep with Filo in her human form."
"I'm not lonely......it's just......"

Raphtalia looks down shyly and fidgets.
That reminds me of the time she was crying non-stop at night......a considerable amount of time has passed since then.
