"Hmm? Isn't that Sissha?
"Oh, looks like it. I wonder what you're doing?
After buying a necklace at the grocery store, I was walking the city appropriately. I can't really decide where I'm going next.
Along the way, I discovered Sissha with her hands on her grandfather's hips, watched by multiple people.
What the hell are you doing?
"Oh, it's easier. I'm sorry."
"No, please be careful not to hurt again"
Me and Estelle stopped for a while to see how Sisha was doing, and it was over and my grandfather turned his torso left and right to start checking something out.
From the conversation, were you treating him with restorative magic? Wasn't there a flashy light or something, but does it feel different when it's tight?
"Sisha, what are you doing?
"That's Mr. Osakura, Mr. Estelle. What's going on here?
"Oh, I just stumbled on it."
Looks like I got a paragraph, so I called out to Sisha.
The people around her were a lot of old people, and I'm kind of embarrassed to be seen as being serious when I come near them.
Normal armor doesn't bother me a lot to be seen, but they've all spent time in private clothes, including mine, since the holidays. So now he has no helm and remains bare.
I may have just figured out how embarrassed Knoll is to hide his face... when he's wearing a helm, I feel a lot less embarrassed than I usually do.
"What, do you know Sisha?
"Yes... he's my loved one"
"Oh man, could it be your boyfriend!?
"Yes...... I said it"
"Whoa, whoa, what are you talking about!?
Suddenly Sissha dyes her cheeks red and covers her illuminated mouth with her hands.
This guy! He's finally starting to tease me no matter where I am... I want you to give me a break.
"Light up, brother. Wouldn't it be nice if such a beautiful woman were her? I envy you."
"No, it's really not. I'm just having an adventurer party with her."
"Whoa, you're one of Sisha's adventurers. That means your child too..."
Even desperately correcting it, my uncle told me with a laugh if I was hiding it from him. The old men around me are turning their gaze at me like they see something smiling.
He also seemed to know that Sisha was an adventurer, and he convinced me as soon as he said I was an adventurer party.
And the old men saw behind me when I said she was that kid... but for some reason she stopped talking on the way over and was out of line.
"Hehe, Sisha, what did you say earlier, say it again? Now I'll let you sleep properly."
"Mr. Estelle, I'm joking! Calm down, calm down please No!?
I also turned around wondering what was going on and at some point Estelle was hunting Sisha down on the wall of a nearby building.
Sissha, desperately sticking to the wall, is trying to escape from Estelle, who is approaching with a bee and loud noisy electric shock coming out of her fingertips.
"Uh, stop, stop! Estelle, calm down!
"Mm-hmm, okay..."
"Ha, that was helpful..."
Sisha was going to get hit if he stayed like this, so I went in between Estelle and the others and made him stop.
Estelle was pointing her mouth at the dissatisfaction, but she was pulling back, and Sisha stroking down her chest saying she was helped.
Looks like I've been teasing you with my usual nori, but I can't believe I did it in front of Estelle... I would have known the scare.
I'd be glad if you stopped teasing me with this... but Sisha's not going to punish you for looking at any of the painful eyes.
"So, what was Sisha doing?
"I was just talking to the city people. I started exploring the city after the holidays, but that kind of got me on edge."
"Heh... Really?"
I don't know what you were exploring... what did you do to get on with it?
Still, what about the older Sisha and Knoll aggressively going out and low esters and loonas pulling into the house?
Estelle needs me to go outside. She's stuck in her room and she's reading a book, so in a way, it's because I'm stuck.
"No, hey, my back hurts when I'm carrying my stuff, and I had Sissha cure me for wanting to go through. And then they're not talking or treating me... sorry."
"No, because it's what I like and do"
My grandmother, who was with Sisha, opened her mouth for what she was wondering.
Uh, so you were treating him earlier with your hands on your grandfather's hips? I think my back pain is going to heal in the potion... what do you think?
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to talk to these people a little bit."
"Oh, talk to me slowly."
"Ugh!? Hey, don't pull it!?
It didn't seem like he was doing anything particularly problematic, so I tried to leave him saying it was bad to interrupt the conversation, but before I did, Sisha said I needed to talk to him, and he grabbed my hand and pulled it.
"Totally...... what's going on all of a sudden?
"Osakura and Estelle, are you on a date? It's a date, right?!?
"Heh, yeah."
When I got to a little further away, Sisha let go of her hand and turned to me, squeezing her hands together, gouging her face closer and listening.
Estelle replies smiling at it as she catches up late.
Dating...... is it a date!? I thought it was an extension of what we usually go out with... well, Estelle seems happy, and let's not say extra things to offend the mood.
"Kuh, I can't believe this sounds so funny..."
"... you, you're not willing to hide a lot anymore"
Sisha is clenching her fist and roaring and about to regret it. Seeing this reaction, you might have been stalked if you knew this would happen beforehand.
I don't feel like a shadow right after I summon you anymore. Even the good people with clarity are completely disfigured.
"I thought we'd go outside a lot, but I'm surprised Sisha's getting along with the city folks"
"Right. You seemed pretty close."
"Ugh, this is my charm, too."
I didn't think Sisha was talking to the city people friendly. If we don't show our nature, it's just as we imagined it, and it's no wonder we're getting along soon.
Besides, he's not wearing his usual monastic clothes now, he's dressed like a white piece with a cardigan and a more vocal than usual.
Says Sissha owes it to her charm as she winks with her index finger up, but no table because of what she's saying herself. Too bad about everything already.
"Okura-san lives in this city too, so I think you should talk to the city people, right?
"Uh, yeah... I'll make an effort"
"Your brother doesn't seem to be very good at talking. He doesn't look right in the face and talk to me."
Are you friends with the city people...... I'm supposed to live in Brunne, so is it important to hang out with the neighborhood after all?
I feel so familiar with Sissha already. I think this kind of place envies her personality.
As Estelle says, I'm a familiar person, so I'm a little nervous when it comes to actively talking to people in the city.
If I were a light nori like the Knolls, I could handle it... but I still often talk out of sight.
"That's right! Hey, it's funny how you reacted when you made fun of that in the labyrinth.
"What's going on? Can we just keep going?
Sisha reacted pleasantly to Estelle's words, but he finished saying them halfway through and held his mouth and shut up.
Estelle listens as she nicks it, tilting her neck and urging her to say ahead quickly.
We were supposed to tell each other not to mention it in the labyrinth... but I slipped my mouth and blew myself up.
"That's better than that! Apparently, Mr. Knoll has become a rumor of sorts, too!
"The knoll?
Sisha suddenly slapped her hand with a pong and began to change the subject so that she ran away with a cold sweat. Estelle still stares silently at Sissha with a smile on her face.
Well, I don't mind that Sissha is being hunted down, but I'm curious to hear that Knoll is rumored.
I hope he hasn't caused any problems because he does things a lot.
"I'm talking about a girl hiding her face in the square with a fluffy hairy animal the past few days. The people I was talking to were suspicious, but they said they didn't seem like bad kids because they greeted me well."
"Uh... he stands out, too. That one"
"I'm not usually suspicious with a helm, but if it's personal, it's doubly suspicious."
You've finally been treated like a suspicious person...
Since the holidays, Knoll has also worn personal clothes. It's seemingly normal with shorts on a shirt with half a sock, but that eye mask is driving me crazy.
If you walk through the city, you'll be noticeable enough that the people who go on the road are bound to look back. So you greet him well and walk around the city. He...
You're supposed to be just going for a walk with Mofft, but you're getting noticed.
"Then I'll be back, so enjoy later for the two of you. Estelle, let me know what you think when you get home."
"Yeah, okay. And Sissy, I'll let you know when I get back."
"Hih - excuse me!
As soon as the business was done, Saskatchewan started walking towards the old men he was talking about earlier.
I dodged him off topic well, he seemed to think... but before that Estelle stabbed me with a nail and freaked my body out.
And I said I wasn't listening. So I ran out and left.
... What a noisy guy.
●
"I came to see if Knoll was doing anything weird... here?
"Um, I think that's what it feels like to hear... oh, not there?
Ask the city people where they are and they are coming to the square in Brunne. It was close to the center of the city and had a fairly grassy but promising space.
People are there, and there are places to sit like benches and places to relax.
I'm talking about having Knoll here...... it's hard to understand with a lot of people.
I thought this was going to be hard to find, but when Estelle looked at the tip of her finger, there was a place where people in the square were walking subtly to avoid it.
Looking at it finally, a silver-haired woman wearing an eye mask sits on the bench with a boy and a girl as long as Luna.
Oh...... that's a knoll. You're so conspicuous.
"I'm thirsty, and I still drink with you."
"Weird sister. What is that?
"So I'm not your weird sister! This is a potion."
He seemed to care about his friendship, so me and Estelle approached him from behind as he circled around to keep him out of sight.
Looks like the boy says something about a weird sister or something. So I'm angry... but I can't help it because it's the truth.
Without speaking up if there was no problem, I tried to keep it that way...... Knoll is taking the red potion from the gutter out of his waist porch and telling the kids to drink it or something.
This guy... is he treating you like juice and trying to drink potion!?
"Potions aren't good, are they?
"Hmm, this is a delicious potion. Do you want to try it?
"What, it's okay!
"It's fine. But you can't really tell anyone else, can you? There are people who get angry when they find out."
A girl asks Knoll in an anxious voice, but Knoll replies with a confident voice that it is delicious.
The potion in this world is green and bitter as blue juice. I drank it once too, but it sucked because of the smell of my tongue being paralyzed for a while.
The word "pain in the mouth" is the same. Thank you for the sweetness and effectiveness of the gacha products in that regard.
"Heh, who gets angry when they get angry?
"That's Ogura, of course. - Huh?
I think I'm going to give him a cheeky potion if he stays like this, so I decided to speak up.
When he speaks from behind, Nor answers it all the way down the road, and when he realizes it's not the children, Gigi looks back with a blunt motion that sounds like it.
"Pi!? Hey, why are you here?!?
"I came to see it because Knoll was a rumor.... you drank potions instead of drinks"
"This is, um... I'm sorry!
He shouted, and Knoll jumped off the bench. The children on the left and right are also surprised by the reaction.
When I asked him about the potion, he honestly bowed his head without excusing it because it was in front of the kids and Noel apologized.
Um, I didn't mean to get angry... but I'm honestly apologizing, and you don't have to be so strict about it.
"No, I don't mind. Instead, if we run out of them, we're gonna say it right, right?
"Oh, Lord Okura... he's fat!
"So don't drink too much."
"Ugh... Copy that."
I'm handing over potions for combat at once, so if there's not a number at times, Knoll's in trouble.
The potion itself has a lot with the chatter hassle, and will be about enough to drink a little.
I would have been a little angrier if this had been a small number of hyppotions.
Still have trouble drinking too much and getting fewer numbers, so I stabbed the nail.
"Brother, do you know this weird sister?
"Oh, yeah. What were you doing with this weird sister? Didn't something weird happen to you?
"Yeah, I was just letting you touch Mofft,"
The silent children called out to me.
The boy has short blonde hair and has a bit of a messy vibe. Girls have long blondes and look like adults.
Ask Knoll if he's doing anything weird, and the girl shows me the mofoot she's putting on her lap.
I thought you got close to Knoll, which looks pretty suspicious, but it sounds like you owe it to Mofoot.
"Oh, don't call me a weird sister to Ogura!
"About when I was in my personal clothes, why don't you take my eye mask?
"I don't like it! Was Estelle with you? It's unusual for both of you to come here."
The more suspiciously I see it, the more suspiciously I say if Estelle removes her eye mask, she's shaking her head left and right and rejecting it with all her might.
Now I can say she's a pretty girl if she's bare face... well I went through the same thing earlier so I can't say it strongly.
"Nah, brother. Is it true this weird sister is an adventurer?
"Hmm? That's right. She's a weird sister, but she's the same adventurer we are."
"Heh, I wasn't lying."
A boy asked me a strange question about whether Knoll was really an adventurer.
I know you don't look like an adventurer at all because you don't look like your usual armor... is that what you bother to ask?
"Was Carm still suspicious!
"'Cause, sister, you lose a lot to us for playing. And if I were an adventurer, I'd be stronger."
"Ah, uhh... that's right..."
Hmm? Based on the story, I'm suspected because I did something with the play and Knoll lost the bolt, huh?
She seems very spicy with the answer, and she deliberately lost her hand or something?
Hmm, you're out of your hands. You can't tell me, and I'll follow one here?
"Even a sister like this, if you fight, you're strong, right? Oh, my God, they're gonna stun me just because I got hit once."
"Whew, really!? Sister, you're a fool."
"Lord Okura, don't say anything unnecessary!
Well, I was going to follow you well, but did I make a mistake?
I think if Knoll actually hit me with no protective equipment, I would definitely faint with a blow.
Because Dade is not the only talent among us that is rising to the second stage.
"I'm relieved it looks okay for now. Knoll, they think you're suspicious, so don't walk too late, okay?
"I think it's better than the usual Okura outfit... or I don't want to be told by Okura..."
"Your brother's always like that, so I guess Knoll's paralyzed."
If I tell Knoll just in case, he seems very dissatisfied.
I don't want it to be the same as Knoll's for me... because I usually dress properly for once, and the only thing they think is suspicious is how I dress in combat.
●
It didn't seem like a problem, so after that, Knoll and I broke up, Estelle and I are coming to a place like an observation deck out of town.
It was also subtle in time to go around the store now at dusk already, so I arrived here looking to go even where I could see the city.
"I'm sorry, Estelle. You said you could go wherever you wanted, but you couldn't get around much."
"Heh, I don't mind. Besides, you said it first, didn't you? He said you and your brother could go anywhere."
"Ooh... I hope so..."
I ended up meeting and talking with Sisha and Knoll, and Estelle and I hadn't been able to tour the city satisfactorily.
Is it about the clothes store and grocery store that went decently?
Still, she smiled at Nico and said the same thing to me before she went out.
Uh... when they say that, it makes me feel stronger that I should have let you enjoy it more properly.
"You've never seen this world so slowly before."
"Your brother was hunting all the demons before he summoned me, not slowly?
"Yeah, 'cause I wanted to turn it around. And I wanted money at first."
He elbows over the wall and looks at the city, but he's never looked at the city like this before.
This observation deck is not high enough to overlook the whole place, but it's a place where you can see the city's landscape as far as it's quite large.
There are various roof buildings that are triangular or flat, in various colors with red and green.
I saw the square where we met Nole earlier, and I saw people still walking quite a bit.
Again, you hunt all the demons and you have no idea about the city or anything. I might be more familiar with the hunting grounds if I suck.
Even Knoll and Sissha are already getting familiar, can we do this?
I also remembered when Estelle told me about the summons, but you were so confused then about whether or not to summon Estelle.
I've regretted how I got lost, as opposed to the silly things I just thought I was lost...
"Now that we've successfully collected the Demon Stone, I wonder if we can slow down every day like this."
"Um, I don't know. In the end, we have to level up to attack the labyrinth."
If the idea of collecting Demon Stones succeeded, from now on you can earn Demon Stones with no income.
Well, there seems to be a lot of problems, so I don't think it's going to work that well...
Still, if you don't need to focus on collecting Demon Stones, it is also possible from now on to level up priority.
And from now on, you can also use the Dimension Room to explore the labyrinth.
With this, it is possible to hunt for more than a few days in the labyrinth.
You might want to find a place like a level up or a goblin labyrinth to hunt.
"Well, I guess it's time for Knoll and the rest of us to go home, too."
"Oh, wait... is it time?
"Hmm? What's wrong?
I told Estelle to go home and tried to get out of the observation deck because the sun was about to set.
But I want her to wait and say.
"Look, brother, this"
When Estelle came to my front, I opened the hand I was squeezing.
There was a necklace with demonic stones that I bought at the grocery store...
"Ooh!? That's amazing! That's Estelle."
The Demonic Light Stone, which was clenched in ester, had been transformed into a jewel that glowed like a rainbow.
Depending on how the light strikes, it's beautiful that changes from red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and one after another.
I can't believe that a gem that was colorless and transparent would be a gem to this point... I don't know what would happen if another magician made it, but that just seems to me to be Estelle.
"Estelle's magic is beautiful, isn't it? If it was going to be such a necklace, I'd be glad to buy it. I think it'll look good on Estelle."
"Hehe, thanks. But I didn't buy this for me."
"Huh? Then who did you buy it for?
I thought I bought the jewels for myself and made my own, but apparently not.
Hmm? Are you going to give it to Knoll, Sisha or even Luna?
Luna's just been summoned, and it's not weird to give her as a celebration.
"I bought it to give it to your brother."
"What, me?
"Yeah, I've been getting a lot from your brother, but you've never given it to me, have you? So I thought I'd give you this."
Estelle says so, picking her necklace and giggling at me.
I listened to her, and I was flabbergasted. I don't think I've ever gotten anything.
I give Estelle and the others all sorts of things, but they belong to the monster stone we collected together. So I had no sense that I was giving it away.
And yet it feels kind of complicated to be able to get something personally as a thank you this way.
I'm starting to think I should just pay you back.
"Are you sure?
"Yeah, that's why I bought it."
"Well, then, at least just the price..."
"No more! Then it doesn't make sense that I gave you the money to buy it! You take it in silence at times like this, okay?
"Ah, yes..."
When I told him I would give him the money, the look on his face that was smiling changed and he frowned and got angry.
Ahhh...... apparently it was a useless care. I really can't believe you can't handle it properly at a time like this...
"Brother, I'll put it on you, give in a little bit?
"Oh, wow."
I honestly tried to get the necklace from Estelle, but she told me to put it on for you, so I gave in so she could arrive.
Though pretty young, getting your necklace on like this is a bit embarrassing.
"Well, you look great, brother."
"... thanks, I'm glad"
"Hehe, I wish you'd been happy. I thought it was me, so I kept it."
Pretty glad I got the necklace. Strange, but I feel the same way when I want to pull a hit and dance out with chatter.
But I thanked her for less words without being as honest as I was when I was chattering... because I'm embarrassed. My face is so hot.
I was in such a floating mood, but when I saw what I wore again, Estelle told me not to let go of my skin with a very satisfying voice.
...... hmm? I don't know...... I should be quite happy, but am I to blame for hearing Estelle's words and remembering her strange anxiety?
"Shall we go home then? Knoll and the others are hungry and waiting."
"Oh, yeah, you are"
Estelle said to go home looking at me with a very good smile, either because she had finished her business.
Why the hell did you get anxious...... don't care.
Even with that in mind, I didn't care if I watched her smile, so I decided to go home alongside Estelle.
