"The weather is lovely today. And from here, I can watch everyone working so hard. That makes me happy. Thank you, Qiong Xing."
"Not at all. Kira works very hard, so would you please keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't push herself too much?"
The old lady laughed and nodded.
Leaving the rest to her, Qiong Xing took Tasha with him to do the laundry.
"...If this is about what happened this morning, I'm not angry, so don't worry."
Even as Tasha silently washed the clothes exactly as he had shown her, she kept glancing toward him from time to time.
The sight made Qiong Xing smile.
Seeing Tasha finally relax her shoulders in relief made him realize just how much he had frightened her.
"I'd like you and Kira to mainly help with the household chores."
"...Why? You could just have me work together with the others."
When Qiong Xing looked up, he could see the children busily working in the fields.
