Episode 35: Dating?

Me and Lina came to a town named Hoone in the western part of the human territory. The means of movement is, of course, [instantaneous movement].

This is the town of the human realm.

I shrugged as I walked down the main street of town. The town of the human realm has seen it several times in [Thousand Eyes], but this is the first time it has taken a direct leg.

Wherever I saved people from bandits and went to work part-time was just a village. After all, the town is vibrant compared to the village. The medieval European-style township I saw in books, photographs, etc. when I was a human was spreading there.

By the way, I am now the figure of Yuto A by the spell of [Transformation]. If you were walking around town like a king, you'd be scared to get away with the murderer.

"Um, brother. Are you really glad I'm your brother's wife...?

Lina, who was walking next door, said sorry.

"That's okay. I can't believe you can look like a human being like this. It's about as bad as being with Lina. Lina would be cramped if she was stuck in King's Castle the whole time, too, wouldn't she?

"Kyu, I can't believe you're cramped..."

"Besides, I didn't get to talk to Lina much in the castle, and I thought it would be a good opportunity. How's life at the castle? Are you used to it?

"Yes. There are so many interesting books in the library, you can eat your favorite dishes in the dining room, all the demons are so sweet, it's like heaven compared to when you were a slave"

"Right. Good for you."

It kind of makes me laugh that there's a castle in heaven where a lot of demons live. But this is also because Lina is my sister. [M] If Lina finds out she's human, I'm just zoomed to imagine what the devils would see me do. Well, I'm in a similar position as a human being.

"I'm so happy right now. It's all because your brother took me. Thank you so much."

"Ha, he said I heard enough octopus in my ear to say thank you. You're never gonna tell me that Lina's a human being, are you? If they find out, it's gonna be a big deal."

"Yes, brother"

"... One more suggestion, when I look like this, why don't you stop calling me" brother "?

"What? Why not?

Lina tilts her neck about two millimeters.

"I don't know, I don't really care when I'm a king, but when I'm called your brother when I look human, I don't know, I get itchy..."

I'm worried about the eyes of the people around me.

"So while I'm being transformed into a human, it's usually called by name, or at least it would help if you could be my brother."

"... ok. Then may I call you my brother?

"Oh, so please"

Okay. You can have a chat with Lina, but we also need to remember the purpose of finding out who did the soul loss.

Then me and Lina keep walking around town for a while. After all, there's no sign of a case anywhere in the sun. It would be extremely likely at night if the offense were to be committed. There is no guarantee anywhere that the killer will show up in this town in the first place, so I plan to head to another town after a day.

"... I've been walking and you're hungry. Why don't you stop by that store for a second?

"Right."

Me and Lina walked into the coffee shop where it took us, and we sat down in our seats for two. Many, if not few, customers are shops with a small, sparkling atmosphere.

"This is the first time I've been in a store like this, so I'm kind of nervous..."

Lina looks at the list of menus as she swims her eyes.

"You can order whatever you want. There's as much money as there is."

"Oh, thank you"

Thanks to the spell of [creation], you can make all you want to make gold coins. Though I feel a little guilty when it comes to the people who work hard and make money.

Speaking of working, I wonder how Mr. Kiel is doing by now. Do you still keep working part-time at that grocery store with five copper coins an hour? But the fact that I cured the manager's daughter's illness eliminated the need to put money into the pills, and maybe the hourly rate is up.

"Hmm?"

Looking forward, she noticed that Lina was dyeing her cheeks red and mozzling her body.

"What's up, Lina? Are you sick, too?

"Yes, no! It's just that, you know, it's kind of like we're on a date..."

"Dating?"

"Ah, soot, sorry, forget about that one now!! It would be annoying if they thought I was her!

"No, that's not true at all."

Dating, huh? Surely it wouldn't be surprising to be mistaken for a couple if two men and women were in a store like this. I feel like we have no heart or the gaze of the people around us. They think Lina's cuteness definitely hasn't matched...

No, you've never been in a coffee shop alone with a girl, even in your human age. Plus, they're pretty cute girls. I got a little superiority in this situation and regretted that I should have transformed it with a more handsome correction.

"I think I'll make a sandwich and coffee. Has Lina decided?

"Yes. I want to make it hot sandwich and orange juice."

You're modest when I say you can ask for whatever you want. I'm sure you're reluctant because it's about Lina.

A few minutes after the order, each item was transported to the table. I'll put my mouth on the coffee first. It tastes like neither possible nor impossible, but it's like drinking it for free, so let's not say luxury.

By the way, I am in a state where ATK and DEF have been reduced to some extent by the spell [weakened] I put on before the transformation. It's a spell I would use against my enemies, but I still can't say control of my powers is perfect, because if I suck at staying in the King's status, I can break the coffee cup I have in my hand right now.

The dinnerware and other items at King's Castle were built quite sturdy to match the power of the devil, but they don't belong in the human realm. It's hard to be too powerful.
