Day 70: This is my…
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Water Serpent, 22nd day.
Weather: Rain

…No matter how much you don’t want it to, the next day always comes, I guess.
I feel so depressed, but… I will do my best, because it is work.
We were to meet up past midday, so I better buy food supplies etcetera first…

After I finished my shopping, I headed to the town’s western gate, just a little earlier than promised.
Uhh…where is that… Ah, there.
He was standing near the gate, in order to stay out of the rain.

Soft blonde hair and blue eyes. His body was delicate for a man… A gentle-looking man, as always.
He had a silver cuff on his right ear, pendant on his chest, bracelets on his left hand, etcetera. The various accessories ensured he made a strong impression.
As for his equipment, he wore a golden breastplate, boots, and had a longsword on his belt…

And so I approached my older brother. And the moment he noticed, he threw his arms around me like it was the most natural thing!!
!? Hey!! Now everyone, including Ms. Noa, is looking at me strangely!!
Let go!! …Tsk. You are quite strong in spite of being so thin!!

When I finally managed to escape, Ms. Noa stared at me with surprise.
Hah…hah… I’m just tired… Ms. Noa. This is my older brother.
Uh, his name… Well, you do not need to know. He is just a weirdo.

And then my brother protested as if he was deeply wounded by my explanation.
He said that since he had not seen me for so long, it was only normal for him to be so affectionate, and that if anything, he was holding back.
It is not normal!! Just look at Ms. Noa’s reaction!
Ugh, I really do not like this brother of mine…

After that, we got into the carriage that my brother had prepared, and we set out for our destination.
…The carriage looked familiar to me, but I felt that it would be no good to dwell on that.
I should just focus on the fact that our journey was made easier, and be quiet.
Speaking of which, my brother was driving the carriage.
He said that since we had not seen each other for so long, he wanted to show how helpful he could be… I really did not understand him at all.

We were headed to a mountain range that was far from the town.
It would take us about two days to reach it by carriage.
My purpose was to gather boulder dew grass. It was a herb that grew in rocky areas with little water. And it was used in treating paralysis.
It was not an especially rare plant, and could be found in most herb stores.
So it really wasn’t something that you would put out a request for, normally… This really was troublesome.

Before the sun set, and when the rain had stopped, we hurriedly prepared our camp.
My brother volunteered to help, but ended up just getting in the way, and so I threw him into the back of the carriage.
Just stay there… We do not have a lot of time!!

Ms. Noa made dinner for us.
For some reason, my brother was quite disappointed by this, which was very rude of him.
Ms. Noa’s cooking was amazing!!
Besides, though she made the same thing as usual, this time, the ingredients were all very expensive!!
So you should be more grateful.

Once we finished eating, we took turns sleeping.
And then my brother tried to come into my tent.
Hey, get out of here! I am not going to sleep in the same tent as you!
Ms. Noa!! Stop laughing and help me!!

A kicked him out of the tent and was finally able to rest.
Hah… I am so tired.
If all goes well, this will still take four more days… This is hell.

The worst quest with my older brother…had only just begun.
