"... mmm... what?

Tickle, and open your eyes, Lavia. It's Hikaru staring at the condition as he slept right next to him in a small bed.

"! Hikaru...... duh, why are you looking at me?

Lavia dyes her cheeks and hides half her face with sheets.

"Sleeping pretty, watching"

I can mouth this in the grand 5th place in the line ranking that a man wants to tell a woman, and it feels innumerable as a hical. By the way, I'll leave 1st to 4th to your imagination.

"... silly"

Lovia is also cute enough to cover her head softly with sheets. My hair is out of the top of my head.

Hikaru's cheeks are really loose.

I'm 15, and Lavia is 14. I don't think it's a relationship too soon. In this world, death is quite familiar. Hikaru himself has experienced death once in the first place. If so, it makes sense to find someone you love and be bound early on.

"Ugh..."

"? What's wrong, Lavia"

"I want to die of embarrassment..."

"Why?"

"... I didn't mean to speak, but I did... and Hikaru's voice was gentle."

I don't know what to do, Hikaru worries. I felt like holding her like this and asking her to raise her voice again.

But that's much easier.

"It's okay, 'cause it looks like there weren't any guests in the left, right and up and down rooms"

"Really?"

The hair that is out just a little moves a little bit. Lovely.

"Sorry I made you even more tired yesterday after everything happened"

".................. I'll say something embarrassing again"

It is red to the hand that grabs the sheet.

"Uh, no, actually, I thought Lavia's health was at its limit too... Hardly ever left the mansion."

"Yeah...... to be honest, it could be pretty tough. I feel like my body is falling apart now."

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize. My body is falling apart, but my heart is full of happiness."

————

Now it was Hikaru's turn to blush.

He was ashamed of himself for saying it himself, too, around the hair that was popping out was moving. It is a massive suicide bomber.

Then I talked to Lavia a little bit and Lavia decided to rest in her room all day.

When she talked about the sheets in the bed being changed every three days, the hotel humans wouldn't even come in —— Ravya was hazy enough to stick her face in the bed and check something, and then she said with a trembling voice, "Oh, get me some water... it's full of..." Hikaru dared not ask what he discovered. Both Hikaru and Lavia were "first" last night. That's fine.

Hikaru left the room to buy something to eat in the street as he got water.

"Are you going out?

As always, there was a Nekomi Front. Hikaru wonders when the hell this man is resting.

"No, I'm going to buy you a little meal. You don't mind eating in your room, do you?

"Of course --"

Nekomi Front, who was about to say, let him snap his nose, sorry, sorry.

"... do you like customers, too?

Yah, he smiled at me.

"Hey, what's up?"

"I'm too upset. Hey?

"I'm not upset or anything"

"I don't mind the fun, but you're welcome to stay."

"I know."

Hikaru says, leaving the hotel.

"... but when did you bring him in?

Ha, and the necromancer front snapped his neck.

Take home sandwiches bought from the stalls, juices of fruit in ceramic bumps, etc., and eat them both. All this seemed a new taste for Lavia, who lived in a noble mansion, and was thrilled. I didn't buy hot dogs. I wanted to avoid adventuring here, even as a hikaru.

"He wants to stay in the pound until it's almost cold"

"Yes."

"I just don't think it's good mental health to be stuck in an inn for the rest of the day."

"Yes..."

"If you hold hands with me, no one else will notice. But on the other hand, it's dangerous."

"Maybe we'll hit people in the crowd or something?

Hikaru became happy. Lavia listens to Hikaru as he thinks about one step ahead of what he talks about.

"Yes. So I'd like to keep the disguise going and go outside, if I can."

Hikaru glanced at his coat.

If you wear a hood deep in your eyes, you won't find out if you're walking all over the city.

But on the other hand, I feel like I'm wearing a hood for the next summer. The opposite stands out with full suspicion.

"Hikaru... I just lay the burden on you and I can feel it, could you lend me some more money?"

"Money? What do you want me to use?

"Shorten your hair, dye it. And buy men's clothes."

To the offer, Hikaru was pompous.

Lavia is 14 years old. About the age when more and more femininity is coming out. Conversely, it can also be said that "the difference with the boy is still small".

Hikaru was also thinking about the possibility of men's clothing. But I couldn't tell you. I felt like I was undermining Lavia's charm.

I didn't know you'd say that from her --.

"... sorry, Hikaru. Me, even though I'm not attracted to women, I'm getting less and less..."

"Oh, don't worry about that. Would you rather? Even your hair is beautiful."

Shiny silver hair. Hikaru also touched it many times last night but it is really comfortable to touch it.

"Even if my hair gets shorter and turns into a plain color... won't you dump me?

"Naturally."

"Good."

As a heartfelt relief, Lavia exhaled.

(Right —— I'm better than her. I'm the only one who's better than her.)

I noticed it all the time.

It was a hical of lifelong solitude in that it came to different worlds, but it is not socially isolated. Lavia is different. She's being pursued as a murderer, and her presence is only acknowledged by Hikaru.

I need to be more firm for a while now.

When he finished his meal, he left Lavia in his room and Hikaru left the hotel.

The first person on his way is the Adventurer Alliance. It was just before noon so Jill and Gloria were at the counter. The counter still has a crowd of adventurers. Hikaru thinks so, wondering if it's like "Idol I can go see". "UTJ (receptionist) 48."

But it's not like I need you both today.

"Dear Hikaru!

Before the request bulletin board, there were three people: Paula, Pier and Priscilla. Of course it was Paula who discovered Hikaru.

"I was not in the guild yesterday, so I thought," What's wrong? "

"Because I've been reading this carefully over the course of the day"

What Hikaru showed us was a book placed in the Alliance's library. However, it has been used for many years and is no longer used because of the presence of dust everywhere.

"Is this...?

"I borrowed it from Mr. Unken, who was teaching me how to dismantle it. If you read it as one, you'll have knowledge."

That was "alibi work" for Hikaru. Yesterday was Hikaru who helped Lavia escape, but what if he was doing yesterday for a day? I have the answers if asked.

"Such a thick book!?"

Did you hear Paula surprise, Jill coming this way out of the counter? At the same time, the adventurers who were swarming the counter raise their grievances.

... Please, work quietly at the counter, and I usually think Hikaru, but I was wondering if one of yesterday's cases was passed on to the Adventurer Guild, so it was a good opportunity to find out.

"Hikaru. Mr. Unken lent you this? Hmm... I'll give it back to Unken from Atashi."

"Are you sure? You'll be busy."

"Because I just give it to you when you come. —— but did you really read it all?

"I read it."

"Heh. That's a little quizzy, then."

Jill turns the page with pleasure.

"... how to effectively crusade Maddy Rock living in the swamps?

"That's icing spiritual magic. It's easy to destroy if you freeze it."

"How does powdered jaundice work?

"Unlocking neuropathy"

"Describe the dungeon closest to Pond"

"I took a carriage about 5 days down the southern streets," The Underground of the Ancient Divine People ". Jointly managed by Adventurer Guild and Country, Entrance Restrictions are above Adventurer Rank E. A number of undead monsters have been identified. The trouble is with undead monsters who use magic that belongs to evil technology--"

"Okay. You really loaded it properly."

And Jill closed the book.

And she looks back at the adventurers who flocked to the counter.

"Everybody check the database properly. If you know more than just what you've been asked to do, you'll increase your survival rate."

The adventurers looked at Hikaru and gave him a tongue-in-cheek. It is still Jill who does extra things for me.

(... but if this looks like it, it doesn't seem to tell you about Lavia's escape yet. The Adventurer is escorting us, so it's supposed to pass in the form of a request failure. The current "quiz" was good too. It proved that I loaded that book)

"Mr. Hikaru."

"Whoa."

It was Gloria who put her hands on Hikaru's shoulder from behind. Lips in my ear and whisper softly.

"Did you really read it yesterday?

"... yes, but"

"Really?"

"Hih."

At the end of the day, breathing into her ear, Gloria took her hand off Hikaru and went back to the counter. I didn't realize when I was getting out of the counter and approaching.

(I knew you were a cautious person...)

As a matter of fact, I read the latest version, not that old version, in the "library" as usual. Because I had several chances to read it.

Hikaru was much faster at reading books than any other human being and was good at memorizing them. As a matter of fact, it was all in my head before I borrowed the book.

"Hey, what the hell is that receptionist...! I was fuming in Master Hikaru's ear, fu! I want to too!

"Stop me..."

Hikaru left the Adventurer's Guild as he laid low with Paula.

"... what do you think?

That evening, a room in a business hotel.

It was Lavia standing in front of Hikaru. However, her appearance is completely different than before.

The hair dyed flax -- Lavia said she wanted to make it hical and approximate "black," but dismissed it as no because there seems to be very little black hair in this world and it stands out —— to the extent that she left a little hair behind, short enough to hang it somewhat on her ears.

If Tsuba wore a larger hunting cap, it would be difficult for adults to see the eye area.

Chock on a white shirt, and knee-length trousers.

If you put leather shoes on the socks, you'll be little different than the boys there.

"You look great... can I say that?

"Hehe. Fine. —— No...... You know what, Hikaru! Me and you, let's get out of here!

"... don't push it. It's harder to listen."

"So, can't you? I've been practicing all day...... boy words"

One, it's pretty cute to think of Lavia practicing bumps and verbal use in the room, but she doesn't look good at all. Sometimes she's a girl, and even if she looks like a "boy," she's a "classy boy." It makes me look like a well-grown bong. In that regard, Hikaru is the same.

There were a lot of expenses, but still enough money to live for a while.

... By the way, Hikaru also bought what he had to buy for getting a partner named Lavia.

contraceptives.

Even though Lavia is 14 years old, she is a body that can already be pregnant. It seems that the area is no different in this other world —— it was also in Roland's memory.

Interestingly, contraceptives were "magical stones". It contains magic belonging to "evil," which, when carried in a pocket, weakens sperm activity in the case of a man and, in the case of a woman, adversely affects the ovaries. Since men are more negligible and pinpointedly effective at "fertility," it seems that men who go to color towns usually carry them with them. The woman says that the negative effects of irregular menstruation are too strong, so the basics are what a man has.

(This... sounds like I frequently expect a relationship with Lavia... but it's a wand that won't tip over, yeah. Absolutely)

It's too late to have a child. I just couldn't afford to raise a child right now.

Hikaru believed it was a necessary expense, even if the seller cooled him down when buying this magic "stone," as much as 1,000 guillans.

Remaining: 24,630 guillans (+100,000 guillans)

"Hmmm... I guess I'd rather have a" me "for one person..."

To Lavia, who is bumping, Hikaru said.

"Let's just get out of here tomorrow."

"Yes.... where are you going?

"Lavia, where am I supposed to go now? You can decide where you want to go yourself. Not too far away, not until most of the case cools down."

"... where can I go..."

Lavia said it was pompous and then

"… I want to adventure…"

Hikaru laughed and nodded.

"I thought I'd say that. Tomorrow you'll be ready for your adventure."

"Ha!"

"-- before, how are you feeling? Does your body hurt?

"Ugh... it hurts a little, but it's a lot better"

"Okay. Don't push it."

"Oh, so, but if Hikaru wants it, even tonight --"

"Well, that's not what I said!

"... well, yeah. Me, I look totally boyish..."

"Oh, no, no! Don't be depressed —— even if you look that different, I think that... enough, you're cute..."

"Hikaru......"

Holding the hand extended, the two shadows approach.

I ended up waking up after the next morning sun was high without being able to sleep late this day either.

Magic "Stone" has been useful since the first day of purchase.
