r>We won’t be able to properly play the Jenga with the current tilted tower, right?

「Ahaha, we can’t continue to play if we don’t prepare it again」

「It’s fine even if it became slightly tilted, isn’t it」

And when the tower collapse, Eleonora-neesan will complain about it, right?

It’s actually not a bad thing to play Jenga by purposefully starting with an unbalanced tower, but it would be quite hard for the beginner Eleonora-neesan.

I put the Jenga on the floor, for now, then fix the tower and make it upright.

Sylvio-niisan and I sit around the Jenga, then Eleonora-neesan also started to sit down and imitate us.

「Have you played this before Sylvio?」

「I have been playing this with Al several times」

「……hmーm」

Eleonora-neesan mutters sounding uninterested after hearing Sylvio-niisan answer.

She looks so unhappy that she was not invited to play together with us.

「That’s because Eleonora-neesan was not here as you were still on the way back home when we played this」

’If you were in the mansion back then, we will ask you to play with us, you know?’ I explained with that kind of nuance in my explanation.

「Ah, speaking of on my way back, there’s something that had been bothering me」

While I’m using the box to set up the Jenga tower, Eleonora-neesan muttered that as if she just remembered about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 

 

 

 

Just with that remark alone, I understand what kind of topic Eleonora-neesan will talk about.

「Hey, Al」

「What?」

「Were you in Kikka around two days before I return home?」

My heart rate jumps up after hearing Eleonora-neesan’s question, but I don’t reveal any of it in my expression.

Calm down Alfried.
Eleonora-neesan didn’t find me back at Kikka.

I certainly went out to look for slimes that day, but I properly had breakfast in the mansion, and I also return to the mansion in the evening.

I have also made an alibi that shows me being at the mansion that day, besides it’s impossible to return to Koryatt village from Kikka in less than half a day.

Even if Eleonora-neesan saw me at Kikka back then, people wouldn’t doubt me.
It would probably be treated as Eleonora-neesan being mistaken.

After fully confirming my innocence, I managed to regain my composure and answer Eleonora-neesan calmly.

「There’s no way I’m in Kikka when I just got back from my trip.
I went to the forest with Torr and Asmo at that time, searching for slimes」

「That’s right.
Al went outside to look for slime to turn it into a slime cushion.
He played Jenga with me after he return」

Sylvio-niisan says as if to prove my alibi. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

While Eleonora-neesan alternately looks at me and Sylvio-niisan with a suspicious expression on her face.

I want to think that it’s just my imagination that she looked at me for a somewhat longer time than Sylvio-niisan for some reason.

After only staring at me so thoroughly, Eleonora-neesan confirms it simply with Sylvio-niisan.

Sylvio-niisan – who is completely clueless as to why she doubts it – tilted his head looking really confused.

Eleonora-neesan looks at us alternately and lets out a groan 「……strange」.

「Why did you suddenly say something like that?」

I have an idea why she did that, but it’s a natural question for Sylvio-niisan who doesn’t know anything.

「I felt Al’s presence when I stopped by in the city of Kikka on my way back」

「You felt Al’s presence in Kikka?」

「Yes?」

I react by taking advantage of Sylvio-niisan’s dubious question.

「……maybe neesan just saw someone who look like Al?」

「Yeah, but it’s not.
That was certainly his real presence I felt」

「Ha, haa…….」

Sylvio-niisan is baffled after hearing Eleonora-neesan’s answer that sounded crazy.

For a third-person POV who listened to our conversation, they wouldn't be able to hold back their laughter while worriedly saying ‘What the heck are you saying now’ to Eleonora-neesan, though it’s not a laughing matter for the person concerned – me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「I couldn’t actually confirm it, but there’s no mistake that my senses told me that Al was there!」

「……but, Al and I were spending our time just like usually in the mansion, you know?」

「Un」

「That’s why it’s strange, right」

「The strange one is Eleonora-neesan isn’t it? You just felt the presence of someone who felt similar to me.
Let’s just play the Jenga rather than thinking about that kind of thing, alright?」

「……yeah, you’re right」

Even when I persuade her like that, she still looked somewhat unsatisfied.

I wonder why do I have to feel nervous, even before playing Jenga……
