Chapter 83: Swing
I came back to My Home after a long time.
It’s fine for me to spend my time comfortably in the mansion, but the weather is good today, so I decided to go outside to pass the time peacefully.
I climbed up a tree, the only tree that grew up near my home.
Then I step and put my weight on the sturdy and thick tree limb that grows sideways to check it.
Uh huh, it's unyielding. If it’s like this, it seems that it will be okay even if Asmo were to jump on it.
Nah, there’s no way that’s okay. I don’t have any confidence in him since he has the previous offence of breaking the ice back in winter.
I think he should have been frozen at such depth.
Oh well, I’m not gonna let him get on this, so there’s no problem.
Using Space Magic, I took out the seat board that has been tied securely with a rope.
I think what I’m trying to do is mostly clear. That’s right, it’s a swing.
I coiled the rope around the tree limb, and set the seat to suspend it at just the right height.
When it finally reaches the height where it seems that I can ride on it, I tie the rope tightly so that it won’t come untied.
It might not be stable since I have no metal fixture or a convenient tool in my hand, and there may be problems with the durability, but I’m not heavy so it will be fine.
I just wanted to sit down, and swinging on the swing.
After I tied the rope carefully, I jumped down and sat on the seat board.
I feel like it’s slightly slanted, so I climb up the tree again to adjust it.
After repeating it for several times, I finally have a proper swing.
I tried to swing lightly, but the tree didn’t even shake.
This tree is quite strong.
And immediately after, I started swinging on the swing.
The indescribable feeling of floating, engulfing your whole body feels good. I feel like I’ve become a bird.
Then I swung with a little more force, and the scenery started to go up and down a little.
The feeling of moving against the wind with my whole body feels nice.
I guess this might be the first time since I rode a swing at the public park, on my way home from work in my previous life.
At that time, I think the surrounding people looked as if they were taken aback, seeing an adult of my age having fun on a swing.
I guess I was undoubtedly on the verge of death from overwork back then, so I became funny in the head.
I wonder why is it so fun to sit on the swing like this after a long time?
「……what are you doing?」
And just when I was getting tired of swinging and thinking of going to read the book I bought at the royal capital, someone called out to me.
When I look towards the direction of the voice, Eleonora-neesan comes out from the shade of a tree.
Since the trees around my home were cut down, there's not a lot of places to hide yourself, and the visual field is also excellent.
Moreover, it was naturally surrounded by the vegetation, not to mention that Eleonora-neesan’s reddish brown hair is conspicuous.
「Umm, it’s a swing?」
When I answer like that, Eleonora-neesan is coming my way.
「Hmmー, swing huh.」
Then she looks at the swing with interest, and shakes the rope.
「You’re really good at making something weird as usual, don’t you.」
Calling it ‘something weird’ is rude.
But, now is not the time to argue about something like that. But for this sister of mine to come here is a matter of grave concern.
No way, does she want to practice with me again? No, she didn't bring her wooden sword today. And she wears a white one-piece.
「What are you doing in such a place Eleonora-neesan?」
「This morning, I saw Al’s figure ran out of the mansion, and I also just went out of the mansion.」
「In other words, you’re following me?」
「Since I have the spare time I thought why not, but then your footprints were cut short. Just how did you walk anyway?」
「That’s because I use the grassy path halfway. Ahahaha.」
What a close call. Does it mean that I also can’t be careless when I use Teleport near Eleonora-neesan?
「Then, when you take a stroll to kill some time you come across me here?」
「Something like that.」
For some reason, Elenora-neesan answered it while acting self-important as she stuck out her small chest.
「It hurts!?」
「Ah, sorry.」
Because Eleonora-neesan pulled the rope away, it hit my cheek.
Was it because I’m having some uncalled thoughts? But, Eleonora-neesan looks calm and it doesn’t look like it was on purpose.
If it’s the usual her, then it would be something like 「I feel like I want to hit you now」 while clenching her fist.
Assuming that she’s really calm, I feel like she can’t do something like that…
It’s quite painful as if I was being whipped *bechin*.
「By the way, how do you play with this. You just sit idly on it?」
「No, it’s something you enjoy doing while sitting like this. Though sitting idly on it is also fine.」
When I showed her how to play it, Eleonora-neesan raised out a 「Heeー」 in admiration.
「Change with me a bit.」
「Okay, here」
It feels like just when a strong kid or a neighborhood bully said that to you to change place.
Since I enjoyed it and was satisfied, I obediently got up from the seat and gave it to her.
Seeing that she doesn’t have any particular trouble sitting on it, she started to swing it by herself.
Though if it’s Torr, maybe he would say something like 「How do I swing it!?」and kick up a fuss.
「Heeー, this is kinda interesting for some reason!」
「Right?」
Maybe she was pleased by it, Eleonora-neesan looks overjoyed.
Skillfully using her legs to gain momentum, she accelerates quickly.
Due to the great momentum, Eleonora-neesan’s ponytail is also swinging greatly.
「I'm tired of swinging. Give me a push on my back.」
Mou, did the essence of a swing flash into her mind already? Truly a sister that is very good at bringing people down.
I went around behind Eleonora-neesan, then put my hands on her back.
And then I push lightly.
「Ah! Somehow this feels better」
「That’s, because I’m the one, pushing」
I push her back harder as I answer, while Eleonora-neesan raises her voice happily.
「Hey, your pushing is weak.」
And when I let go of my hand a little this is what happened. If I say that Eleonora-neesan is heavy, I wonder if I’m going to be killed.
「I can hear you, you know!」
The moment when I’m about to push her back, Eleonora-neesan turns around and hits my head. Owie.
Truly a sister who does a really nimble action.
Even so, I’m only pushing your back, and there’s almost no difference from some time ago so why did you not get tired of it. Really strange…
My arms are getting tired, so I want you to quickly get bored of this.
「It’s fine already」
After a while, maybe she heard my prayer, Eleonora-neesan said something relieving to me.
Though I think it’s just her being moody.
And when Eleonora-neesan saw me being some distance away from the swing, she forcefully jumped off using the momentum of the swing.
Rather than getting off normally just when she got on it like before, she did this kind of move. It wasn’t a big move or anything like that, but I think it requires a great amount of courage to do that.
Eleonora-neesan’s ponytail flutters in the wind, and she manages to land beautifully.
And since I’m tired of pushing Eleonora-neesan’s back the whole time, I move as if I was crawling towards the swing and sat down on it.
「……fuu」
Just when I deeply sigh in relief, Eleonora-neesan looked at me and smiled.
That, is an expression of someone who came up with nothing good. Eleonora-neesan’s red eyes are shining brightly.
Eleonora-neesan came running up to me, and turned to my back.
Could it be, she’s not going to to forcefully push my back right?
But it’s dangerous, since the swing is not suspended by a thick tree limb.
I was about to open my mouth to tell her to please be careful, but she already put her foot firmly on the swing seat.
Then, Eleonora-neesan grabbed the rope and put her other small feet beside my thigh.
「Two-seater!?」
「Let’s swing like this!」
Eleonora-neesan declares gleefully, and she uses her feet to start swinging skillfully.
With the weight of two people riding on the swing, the rope made a grating sound.
「No no, Eleonora-neesan. If you ride along then it will exceed the weight――」
「So you want to say I’m heavy? If you meant it like that, then I’m going to drop my fist on you you know?」
No, I didn’t mean it like that, the swing is not designed for two people, I mean that it is designed for a single person's weight.
I feel like I won’t be able to avoid her fist no matter how I explain it.
………crack.
「Just now, the tree limb made a sound that should not be made right!?」
「It’s just your imagination!」
Eventually, the tree limb didn’t break, and it seems that Eleonora-neesan looks to be having fun and was satisfied.
But, I’m so nervous every time the tree limb makes a sound as we swung.
◆
The next day, Roomba came to the mansion holding the swing's seat and the torn rope.
「This is, Al’s, right? It broke………」
「Of course it will! That’s because the tree limb can’t support your weight isn’t it!」
