23. I came out further than I thought

「What a big man……」

While staring at a far away Sakamoto Ryouma 1 , I muttered seriously.

From his gaze that overlooked the Pacific Ocean, I felt a sense of abyssal depth.

……I said it a little cooly, but there wasn't such a deep meaning.

As such, s.h.i.+ndo Nanao in Katsurahama!

Just so you know, Katsurahama is the name of a coast in Kochi prefecture.

No, certainly I asked for a moving destination where it would be hard for the Kuromizuchi to find me, but I never thought I'd have to cross the sea for my relocation.

As expected, the demon's methods aren't half-baked.

Presently, I was enjoying ice cream (アイスクリン aisukurin) 2 in the cold winter wind.

It's super cold! But since I've come, I can't not eat it.

By the way, I'm being treated as an at-home worker and being made to work unreasonably.

It's been two weeks since I've moved here, but today is the first time I've gone out.

I've been too busy until now and couldn't go outside.

Work, bathroom, work, bathroom, work, eat, work, bath, work while napping, it was that sort of lifestyle.

For food, it was retort 3 packs piled in a huge mound in my room.

Also, likely out of consideration so I wouldn't lack greens, the fridge was packed with chilled vegetables.

If he had time to worry about that, I wish he'd reduce my workload.

Unable to possess such natural consideration, it seems our President has lost his human heart.

That instant, a text arrived on my cellphone.

After I jumped, I timidly took it out of my pocket and sure enough, it was a large quant.i.ty of additional work from President.

What's with his great deductive ability. This guy, he definitely sold his soul to a devil.

I was just about finished eating my ice cream, and it's cold enough to die, so…… Can't be helped, let's go back.

Since I had the chance, I went to the supermarket and bought groceries.

Thinking about the amount of work, my next outing won't be until a while, and I was considerably tired of retort pouches.

I want to eat fresh rice soon. For the time being, I have a rice cooker, pot and frying pan too.

I should make the regular rice and tonjiru.

Incidentally, according to President, there was a period of time where the Kuromizuchi a.s.sociation was in an uproar as predicted.

They were likely searching for me, he said.

Now they were in a lull.

President said they were too quiet so it was conversely unsettling, but from my point of view, I didn't think that man would spend more than a week's effort to search for a kitchenmaid he met coincidentally. I mean, since personnel expenses to move even one person for a week was considerable.

A break in money is a break in destiny―― It's nothing like that, but his interest should have waned by now.

At least I wish, un……

An important political figure in j.a.panese history that played a big role in getting rid of feudalism and helped shape j.a.pan into what it is today. You can read more at wiki. Here are some more images of the . I got the picture I used here:  ↩  "Aisukurin" is one of the most famous sweets of Kochi. It looks like ice cream, but, strictly speaking, it's actually closer to shaved ice. This gives it a lighter feel than ice cream, and its crisp texture, fresh sweetness and layered flavour will fill your mouth. —  ↩ I tried writing my own definition for once but failed, so wikipedia-sensei! Os.h.i.+ete!! But basically it’s pouches of pre-made food. If you’ve ever drank from a Capri Sun juice bag, that was a retort. ↩
