It has been a few days since Tina and Whiskey were officially decided to become our crew.

What happened after that? I ate dinner and was forced to drink wine because it was a celebration seat. When I noticed, I took a break at the "resting place" near the restaurant. The three of us.

Well, I know, and there's probably a part of it that I'm riding on. That said, you two need to be punished for doing such a bad thing, right? So I made sure I understood.

“What are you going to do today?”

Mae shouted as she finished her breakfast and said so in her lowest form.

“Yes, the Armor Shop has contacted us saying that the product is finished.”

Well then, let's pick it up today.

Mimi was in a good mood when she heard May's report.

For the past three days, I've been dating Elma, May, and Mimi. I mean, it was Mimi's turn yesterday. The two of us ate and walked together, enjoyed the virtual aquarium, and after that, we had a lot of fun together. So Mimi is in a good mood today.

Well then, it's Kugi-chan's turn today.

Is this you?

Kugi, who was spoken to by Tina, looked surprised with his ears pinned up.

That's right. I'm dating them one by one.

This time, the order was the last one, but this isn't fair after all.

Elma agrees with Tina. Since May is expressionless, it is difficult to read each emotion now, but if he is in the opposite position, he will say so immediately, so it is not that he is opposed to it. Whiskers and Mimi also nodded, so it seems that no one disagrees with them.

I understand. Then I'll let you have it today, my lord.

Oh, thank you.

While returning it to Kugi, she sent her gaze to Elma. Then Elma nodded. In turn, I sent my gaze to May, but May nodded as well. In the meantime, as a result of living with Kugi until now, it seems that they have decided that there is no danger behind the Kugi. Isn't it too soon to make a decision? I don't think so, but I'm sure he's going to do something about it. In the meantime, I should be careful not to get myself into any trouble.



I dressed up properly - I just wore a jacket and a laser gun and a sword - and then I left the hotel with Kugi.

Let's go to the Armor Shop and pick up the merchandise.

"Yes, my lord. But would you mind if Master May didn't help you?"

I said I'd help you?

"Oh, aren't these armor heavy?" I think it's hard to take home. ”

Kugi said that with a worried expression as she walked next to me. Oh, I see. That's it.

“These colonies have a supply delivery system, so we don't have to carry that kind of big stuff ourselves. See, you use trams to move around the colony, right? There's something like a miniature version of that store that allows you to exchange supplies and goods directly from the warehouse."

"I see... then why--Oh, I see. You have to try it on before you receive it.”

"That's right." Well, you should have my size and motion data, so I don't think you'll like it if you try it on. "

And while we were talking, we got to the tram station, so the two of us got on the tram. The tram network in the colony is tightly stretched, so I don't have much trouble getting around, but it's actually quite a walk.

Long distance travel is by tram. And from the station, it feels like walking, and vehicles like automobiles are not very popular. In other words, maybe they only use vehicles related to the military, firefighting, and emergency medical care.

"I-It tickles, my lord."

"Hmm? I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

The inside of the tram was crowded and I felt quite close to Kugi, but apparently, my sniff fell on the beast's ears above Kugi's head. Is that what you think is strangely making your ears snap? No, I didn't have a rough nose, I just breathed normally. I really didn't mean anything by it. It was an unfortunate accident.

I finished my journey on the tram with that scene and started walking to the Armor Shop again.

"Are you used to living?"

"Yes, everyone will do well." I want to thank you somehow. ”

"I see. Well, the ship will be finished in a few days, so it will be a slightly different life again." Nina, you're in real life, so you need to get used to it. "

“Yes, we want to do everything we can to make you trust us as soon as possible.”

Kugi nodded with a very serious expression and smiled bitterly. It seems that the fact that we still don't fully trust Kugi has been conveyed to Kugi herself. Well, that's true, too.

I'm sorry about that.

"No, it is often the case that other countries do not understand the mission of these people. Besides, these guys control their magic power, so it's even better."

Horiki. It's called magic or psychic power, isn't it?

"Yes, it's called differently, but the roots are the same." It's a technique that temporarily twists the laws of this world with mental waves. Some techniques manipulate physical forces such as flames, lightning, and invisible forces, while others interfere with the mind. In these countries, the art of manipulating space and time and destiny is considered particularly advanced. ”

“If I do, I'll be a dangerous man who manipulates space and destiny without any training?”

When I said that, Kugi looked up at me with a smile on her face.

“Yes, that's why we need someone like this. It is my mission to support you and guide you from time to time. So that the peace and balance of this world may be maintained."

"I see... depending on what you're asking, it sounds like you're willing to eliminate it if it's likely to disturb the balance of peace in the world."

"I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen." As long as I am with you, I will not allow you to follow such a path. "

Kugi grabs the sleeve of my jacket and looks up at my face with eyes that make me feel the strong will. Hmm, I see. This is serious. Apart from the fact, at least Kugi himself believes it from the bottom of his heart. What made you so determined about this child... no, it's all been clarified. She is so determined to fulfill her mission, which has been imposed on the people of her country since birth.

Honestly, I'm a man who thinks religion and stuff like that is scruffy. So it's impossible for me to fully understand her. But I'm sure you'll be able to convince and accept that she is that kind of person. I guess the rest is about believing in what you see.

"It's hard right now, but I think I'll trust Kugi." I will strive to be like that. "

"Thank you. Please tell me if this person is trustworthy to you." I will do my best to earn your trust. "

The next moment I said that, Kugi's ears twitched. Then she stopped her legs and snorted with an unpleasant eyebrow.

What's the matter?

"... there's an ominous sign." And the smell of blood. "

"... eh?"

The Armor Shop is just around the corner... is there trouble again? Come on, man.
