"Now that I think about it your clothes is a bit different today." (Setsu)
"Eh! R-really?" (Yuuhi)
Yuuhi is wearing a bright attire, with the white floral design on the dress, and a brown hot pants. Since she's always wearing training clothes during training(Thick and short T-shirt), it feels a bit refreshing seeing her in other clothes after a long time.
"Mizuki-chan and I bought it when we have free time after our training." (Yuuhi)
"Aah, did she chose for you?" (Setsu)
"H-how did you know about that!?" (Yuuhi)
It's been like that for a long time. If the clothes that Yuuhi wears really suits her, it's absolutely a clothes that other people chose for her.
"That's because your fashion sense is the worst…" (Setsu)
"D-don't say that!" (Yuuhi)
I remember that time when she goes out for a walk to the convenience store while wearing jersey….Yuuhi's fans will cry if they see that.
"Y-Yuki-kun is also looking good! The clothes I mean!" (Yuuhi)
"…Is that so?" (setsu)
My current clothes is the so-called adventurer's clothes in this world. Since I had Eruka prepared that, it's a long trousers with enough room for both mobility and safety, a long-sleeved black shirt, and also a brown jacket on top. Since the brown jacket is processed from the skin of a low rank monsters, although it have a high heat resistance, its a comfortable wear that would not obstruct my movement.
Although the main reason I'm wearing this today is because I'm going to leave town, obviously I didn't tell her that.
"Where did you get it, that clothes?" (Yuuhi)
"…I got it from a person I get to know in this world." (Setsu)
I'm not telling a lie here.
"S-so that's how it is!" (Yuuhi)
"Yeah…" (Setsu)
Yuuhi is waving her arms around, her appearance is kind of amusing today.
"Are you in bad shape?" (Setsu)
"No! It's different! Doesn't that shop seems interesting!? Let's enter!"
She runs ahead trying to deceive me.
Umu…Although I thought that I might be a bit dense, could it be about that?
I can't think of any other reason why she would have that upset tone.
(….Should I question her later?)
It's bothering me now that we've come here. Let's ask Yuuhi directly after this.
Even if there are times when Yuuhi shows her disruptive tone, the atmosphere didn't worsen. Although I am worried about the cause of it, it's not a thing I can carelessly ask without destroying the mood.
"Kya!" (Yuuhi)
"Ooops!" (Setsu)
While I was thinking a bit, I support Yuuhi as she almost fell down after knocking against a person.
I didn't really notice but it seems that the surrounding people had increased. It seems that we have come to the center of the castle district.
"Are you okay?" (Setsu)
"Yes… thank you." (Yuuhi)
"Ou…" (Setsu)
Yuuhi's face is bright red…even I would get embarra.s.sed seeing her reacting in that manner.
――――――Since the woman that I am close with in this world are only the 'odd' types, as expected this kind of reaction feels refreshing by all means. Uwaah, I've probably been staring at her….
"Just take care for a bit, since there are many people here." (Setsu)
"Yes――――――" (Yuuhi)
'Yuki-kun is gentle after all'―――――I had a feeling that I heard Yuuhi mutters that line.
We pa.s.s the center of the town, and decided to enter an available cafe with good atmosphere. Although there are a lot of cafes at the center of the town, since that place are crowded, it's considerably noisy after all. As I thought, that's a place that only popular people would use.
Therefore there's not that many people here, we enter a shop with with the wood as the theme. We got two seats and orders two coffees.
By the way, there are tea and coffee in this world too. There's no cola though.
"This is a good shop." (Setsu)
"Yeah, although the shop in the center is noisy, it's pretty quiet and calm here…" (Yuuhi)
"That's right…did the noise at the center troubled you?" (Setsu)
Yuuhi laugh with "ehehe", raising my sense of guilt. This girl is not that good with crowds, so I should have been more careful there.
"Did you calm down?" (Setsu)
"I'm fine now, the coffee is pretty good too." (Yuuhi)
The coffee in this shop is certainly delicious. Delicious enough to make it possible for someone coming for the first time to think of coming here again.
The master is a quite middle age man, standing behind the counter with an ap.r.o.n above a black shirt. Various cooking tools lined up on the counter, as he prepares coffee carefully with his boorish hand.
――――――Should I listen to her now that the atmosphere had settled down?
"Say, yuuhi." (Setsu)
"N?" (Yuuhi)
"…Is there something wrong? You've been absent-minded here and there today." (Setsu)
"Eh!? H-how did you know!?" (Yuuhi)
Although she's been shaking too much from being upset.
"No, what are you saying now after all this time? You're always making that face." (Setsu)
Uu~…" (Yuuhi)
"You didn't want to say it that much?" (Setsu)
With her face bright red, Yuuhi is glaring at me with watery eyes. I won't get upset even if she's glaring at me like that, on the contrary I think it's lovely.
"I-is it really okay for me to say this…?" (Yuuhi)
"Please tell me, as expected I'm anxious about it." (Setsu)
"Uu….O-okay then." (Yuuhi)
Yuuhi finally agrees, and then opened her mouth.
"Yuki-kun――――――Since you're meeting with Eruka last midnight, what kind of relationship do you have with her?" (YuuhI)
…..Wow, did she saw at that time?
"I, you know…I kind of get anxious thinking about what kind of relationship did you have…" (Yuuhi)
What kind of relationship…in other words, lover-like meaning.
…Let me tell all of you here so there's no misunderstanding, Eruka and I were never in a romantic relationship. Although I do feel something like goodwill for her, I got transferred before anything could happen. Even if the days are blurred after coming home, there's not even one time when it became a special relationship.
Well if you consider the special relation in particular, it's in the meaning of master and slave. In a sense it might be a bit deeper than a lover..?
By the way, since we'retalking about how it happened, I was pretty normal until Eruka asked to be my slave.
"…No, it's nothing like that between me and Eruka…." (Setsu)
"――――――Did you call for me just now, 'Setsu-sama'…?" (???)
…I broke out in cold sweat.
Suddenly hearing a voice I know, when I fearfully confirm the owner of the voice….
"…Yoo, Eruka." (Setsu)
"What a surprise meeting you here, 'Setsu-sama'." (Eruka)
This girl! Not only did she not try to hide our relationship, she's also trying to emphasize it!?
"…Why are you here?" (Setsu)
"Because this shop is my favorite. Did 'Setsu-sama' likes this place too?" (Eruka)
You're only liking this place just now, oi.
No good!! I'm really having a bad feeling from this girl!!
"!! Yuki-kun!! What does she mean by that!?" (Yuuhi)
"Wa-wait! Calm down for a bit!" (Setsu)
"Even if you ask what I mean――――――that's because I am Setsu-sama's property." (Eruka)
Sensei, please stop dropping those kind of bombs.
"P-property!?" (Yuuhi)
Yuuhi stands up from her chair trying to question me.
"Calm down!" (Setsu)
"That's right, I am Setsu-sama's faithful servant. I'm even in charge of his personal care." (Eruka)
"Personal care!?" (Yuuhi)
Certainly she's in charge of taking care of me but it's not like that! Won't Yuuhi get completely misunderstood from that!?
[T.N: Remember that she and 2 others were his personal attendant.]
"To go that much….Yuki-kun! What did you do to Eruka-san after coming to this world!?" (Yuuhi)
"I didn't do anything! Therefore I'm asking you to calm down!" (Setsu)
"You didn't do anything? For me it's because I begged you to make myself to be yours." (Eruka)
…Oi oi did you really need to go there..? This is going to be bad you know?
"!! Shouldn't you and Yuki-kun have only met for a few days!? It's too light to make yourself to be his!!" (Yuuhi)
"That's why I said to calm down――――――." (Setsu)
"There's no such thing as a short time! Setsu-sama and I have been together for a long time alr――――――." (Eruka)
"――――――How about both of you calm down right now?" (Setsu)
*Biku*――――――
When I said that more quietly than the current voice, the inside of the store is suddenly wrapped in silence.
The guests from far away got frightened, the men in my surrounding faint, the women talking with their friends are having some kind of toilet accidents.
[T.N: They pee or shat themselves, I leave that to you imagination.]
Yuuhi who is near me doesn't move and had become stiff, while Eruka was kneeling while trembling herself.
――――――What I put into my words just now is bloodl.u.s.t.
Normally you use them on your opponents in battle, but having mastered it to the extreme, I could suppress a certain s.p.a.ce with my power.
Since they'll likely die of shock if you mistook the addition and subtraction, I suppressed it fairly so that the effect is low. I'm sorry for having unrelated person rolled up in the effective range.
The power is enough for Yuuhi who have little to no experience with that to feel it. Well, it is indeed effective on Eruka. This girl would really fear me once I get angry.
"Eruka, do you know why I stopped you?" (Setsu)
"No…" (Eruka)
"The reason is you. When people learn that the Magic Sword user employed by the castle was having a deep relationship with a worthless man, please understand how bad that is from my point of view. Worst case, you might get killed if the King and princess who really hates me know about it you know? Here is a public place, reconsider your words, how much more dangerous thing are you going to say? It's not easy to deceive everyone you know?
…Do you want to make me lose my 'important one'? (Setsu)
"I-I'm deeply sorry…" (Eruka)
[T.N: 'Important one' is written in kanji, with 'Eruka' written on top of it. Just j.a.pan's double meaning]
With her face down, I pat the head of the apologizing Eruka.
Eruka is indeed an excellent woman, I don't have to repeat the same thing twice.
"It's good that you have understood! …My bad, having to lecture you." (Setsu)
"No…I'm also lacking consideration…I'm the one who neglects your creed." (Eruka)
My creed huh―――――I barely remember it…
"Oops…Can we put this topic off for the time being, Yuuhi? I'm sorry, are you okay?" (setsu)
"Y-Yes…" (Yuuhi)
Have you recovered yourself…they should at least let you experience this during the training.
I call out to Eruka again.
"Eruka, I'm sorry but can you use your money to buy me a suitable change of clothes for all of us? I'll pay the money later." (Setsu)
"Y-Yes!" (Eruka)
I ask Eruka to stand up, and make her do some shopping. Since this terrible scene is my responsibility, I have to clean it up…although I depend on Eruka, There are some part that I need to do myself.
"―――――I'm sorry for the uproar, I'll pay for it no matter how much.
That's why, cant you guys keep quiet about this uproar?" (Setsu)
I ask with my best, and the visitors that are still awake nodded on the spot in spite of being scared.
Now then, next should be about explaining this to Yuuhi―――――I guess?
