It Was a Day That Made Me Feel Really Good

◈

Golden carrots.

These are carrots grown with great care by artisans who specialize in carrots on premium farmland.

Their taste is so fantastic that even rabbit beastkin, who are practically connoisseurs when it comes to carrots, praise them highly.

Even though they’re carrots, they’re called golden carrots because a single one costs much more than ordinary carrots, making them literally the gold of the carrot world.

Simply put, they are extremely delicious and expensive carrots.

I learned this by quietly asking Celine.

That’s great for you, Luna-noona!

And while I was listening to that explanation, Maiya and Sera arrived with the food.

“It’s nothing special, but please enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you for the food.”

Nothing special? What are you talking about?

The food placed on the table was clearly a feast that showed great care had been taken in preparation.

Just putting one piece of food in my mouth.

…I couldn’t help but exclaim “Mimi (delicious)!” because of how good it tasted.

“This is really delicious! Isn’t it, Luna-noona?”

“Y-yes! It’s d-delicious!”

“Oh my, I’m glad.”

“I’m glad my wife’s cooking suits your taste! Ah, by the way, our Celine is also an excellent cook.”

“Really?”

“I just follow what I learned from mother. Father, you don’t need to tell them such things.”

“Hahaha! Well, what father doesn’t want to brag about his daughter! What do you think, Doctor Jin-sang? Our Celine or… perhaps Sera? Both are lovely daughters I’m proud of.”

“F-Father!”

Huh?!

Is this suddenly a “please accept my daughter” appeal…?

“I’d be fine with such a capable Jin-sang brother~.”

Jin-sang… brother!?

“Sera!”

“What? Just looking at Jin-sang brother’s abilities, he’s clearly capable. Securing a good man early is a skill, sis.”

A good man, she says.

Heheh.

“J-Jin-sang?”

“Luna-noona, did you hear that? She said I’m a good man.”

“Y-yes! J-Jin-sang is a g-good man! The u-u-ultimate combo p-partner!”

“Father, Sera. Jin-sang is properly active as an adventurer. Please don’t say unnecessary things.”

“Hmm, so there’s a possibility if he retires, isn’t that right?”

“Visit us when you retire! If not my sister, then me…”

“Sera!”

“Oh, come on, sis~. Can’t you take a joke? Men like this kind of thing.”

Huh?

It w-was a joke?

This can’t be…!

“But aren’t you interested in our Celine?”

“Father!”

This was the first time I’d seen Celine raise her voice like that.

Hmm, I should take Celine’s side here!

“Hahaha, no man could be uninterested in Celine.”

“J-Jin-sang!?”

“J-Jin-sang!?”

“Oho. So you too, Doctor Jin-sang?”

I should praise Celine abundantly here.

“Well, Celine is like an angel in the Kellion Adventurer’s Guild!”

“An… angel?”

“Jin-sang?”

I fluently explained how competently Celine works at the Adventurer’s Guild, how kindly she guides and helps us adventurers.

And how much help adventurers, especially! beginners like me who were lost at first, received from her actions.

Luna-noona also nodded and supported my explanation as she listened.

Celine’s family was soon intensely focused on my story, their eyes wide.

“Therefore! Celine is like an angel of Kellion, an extremely popular woman!”

“Celine… has always been a sensible and kind child, but to think she’s loved by so many people! I’m truly proud!”

“Sis…! You’re really amazing! Wow! Isn’t it hard to receive so much praise?”

“I really did raise one fine daughter!”

“…”

Celine was blushing with her head bowed, seemingly embarrassed.

Great! Should I praise Celine even more here?

“And that’s not all…!”

At that moment.

Grip!

Celine firmly grabbed my sleeve.

“Jin-sang…”

“Yes?”

“Please… stop now.”

“But I still have more to say…”

Griiiiip!

Celine grabbed my sleeve even more strongly and raised her head.

“Please…!”

Celine’s face was bright red with embarrassment.

I could almost hear Celine’s inner voice saying that if I continued, she would die of shame.

Ah, did I go too far?

“Okay.”

◈

After dinner.

Luna-noona and I went to sleep in a room built for guests.

Beron said he had built it in case important guests ever stayed.

The bed was exactly double size!

Meaning two people could sleep in it at once.

Even with a double-sized bed, Luna-noona and I are a man and a woman!

Thinking we couldn’t sleep in the same bed, I was about to sleep with just a blanket…

“Jin-sang, c-come here.”

But if Luna-noona invites me to sleep together first, there’s no reason to refuse~.

I regretted that judgment.

“Kuuuuu…”

Even though I continuously cast Stamina Heal and Heal, Luna-noona, who had been running for 3 hours straight, quickly fell asleep.

Of course, I was also getting drowsy since I’d been casting Heal continuously, so I turned my body in the opposite direction from Luna-noona.

Just as I was about to forget that Luna-noona was beside me and fall asleep.

“Ummmm…”

Grab!

Squish!

“Oot!”

Maybe it’s a sleep habit.

Luna-noona hugged me from behind.

No!

Luna-noona, no!

If I keep feeling this squishiness against my back!

I won’t be able to sleeeeeep!

Plus, since I absolutely can’t have happy happy time in this situation, it’s driving me crazyyyyyy!

In the end, I spent the night in a time of happiness and torturous suffering.

Fortunately, I didn’t feel much fatigue thanks to Stamina Heal during that time.

But I was filled with the desire to return to Kellion quickly.

When you get excellent side dishes, you want to use them quickly… that’s being a man!

And so the next morning came.

After having breakfast, we decided to return to Kellion.

It was because Celine requested that we return quickly so she could sort out her work, since she had left her post urgently for an emergency.

As for the golden carrots, since we couldn’t carry a whole box while running, Beron said he would send them by carriage.

“G-golden carrots…”

“Hahaha, I brought one here.”

“Wow! G-golden carrot!”

Luna-noona immediately snatched the golden carrot that Beron brought and crunched into it.

And then.

“Ah, ah, ahhhhh…!”

Luna-noona, with an absolutely ecstatic expression, continued to take quick small bites with her short mouth.

It looked really delicious.

“Luna-noona, is it that delicious?”

“Y-yes! It’s d-delicious! I-if I w-w-w-were to d-describe it…!”

Luna-noona thought for a moment, then perked up her ears, looked at me, and said:

“It’s s-supremely deliciously extremely heavenly!”

“Ohhh! It must be incredibly delicious!”

It was an expression I immediately understood.

By the way, Luna-noona still remembers that phrase well.

“J-Jin-sang, w-would you like t-to try a bite?”

“Ah, I’ll try a bite later when the whole box arrives. For now, Luna-noona should enjoy it all!”

“O-okay!”

And Luna-noona ate the golden carrot with great satisfaction.

“It was… the best…”

Seeing Luna-noona happy made me feel satisfied too.

“Farewell, Doctor Jin-sang, Luna! Please visit us again anytime so we can treat you!”

“Please visit again.”

“Take care! Jin-sang brother! Luna!”

“Yes!”

“Father, Mother, Sera. Take care.”

“You too. Be as angelic as always at the Adventurer’s Guild, Celine.”

“My daughter. Work hard like an angel.”

“Goodbye! Our.an.gel.sis!”

“…Really! Stop it!”

Celine shouted at her family while turning bright red.

She was quite cute.

Ah. She glared at me.

I-I’m sorry…

◈

After leaving the village.

We immediately formed the Rabbit and Shell Formation, Luna-noona carrying Celine, and we set off toward Kellion.

Since Celine wanted to get back to work quickly, we used continuous Heal and Stamina Heal express service from the start instead of Regeneration!

Thanks to that, we were able to arrive in Kellion before lunch.

“Oh my! Jin-sang? Luna? Celine? You’re back already?”

Bleks was the first to express surprise at our quick return.

I confidently smiled and said to Bleks:

“Yes! We went and came back super quickly! And!”

I gave a thumbs up.

“Celine’s father is now treated and healthy!”

“Really? That’s great! So a good priest or healing magician treated him?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, no, Bleks. When we arrived, Celine’s father was in a very serious condition. But~! He became healthy right away with my magic!”

“With Jin-sang’s magic? Is that true, Celine? Your father received the magic and?”

“Yes, that’s right. Thanks to Jin-sang… my father recovered from very serious injuries and is now healthy.”

“Oh my oh my! Jin-sang is a~mazing!”

Upon Celine’s testimony, Bleks clasped his hands together and moved his body flexibly like a worm.

Stop it!

It feels good to be admired, but a muscular Bleks making those movements is really gross!

“He treated him? That unofficial quack?”

“Celine’s father?”

“And he completely cured serious injuries?”

“Is he really as skilled as he boasts so loudly?”

I could hear the adventurers around us buzzing about me.

Uwhahahaha!

Now you know my skills, you lot!

I’m a super skilled hea… ahem! unofficial healer!

It was a day that made me feel really good.

“Ah, uh. Uhh…”
