Chapter 28 - Prologue

It warmed my heart to look at the gentle flames in the fireplace.

Wearing a comfy cotton robe, I sunk into the couch and gazed on the fire.

Someone gracefully offered a teacup to me.

"The red tea of the highest grade is ready, Kazuma-san."

Aqua who passed the red tea to me said as she sat beside me.

I took a sip…

"… This is plain water."

"Ara, ara, look how clumsy I am. My apologies, Kazuma-san."

"Don't worry, you can just make another pot of tea. Thank you, Aqua-san. I'll drink this anyway."

Now that I think of it, Aqua could purify any liquid she touched.

She must've accidentally turned it into plain water while brewing the tea.

With my current stable state of mind, I won't get angry over such a trivial matter.

Sipping the water, a warmth spread through my body.

Harmony.

So, people can be so harmonious if they become rich.

I smiled as I looked at Aqua who was reading a book titled 'High class society language even a goblin can learn'.

I brought the tea Aqua brewed again to my lips.

– It's still plain water, but my current self won't feel angry over such trivial things.
