Chapter 69 - 069: Kyuuchouji temple

Under Echidna tutelage, Arthur and Emilia can catch up with the standard knowledge of magic and other subjects they need in the high school, title of the witch of greed is not just empty word.

She is really true to her title, the thirst for new knowledge about magic and the modern world make her more like a scientist rather than a witch.

"Echidna! We will be going out, do you want to join?"

Arthur called Echidna who is always in the basement, she claimed it as her personal territory from the first day after she summons here.

"No, there is still a lot of things that I need to know and experiments for. So if you can, bring me another pudding when you come back"

"Are you not bored always eat pudding every day?"

"Uncivilized person like you will not understand the greatness of pudding"

"Uncivilized... so you treat me as a savage barbarian?" Arthur speechless at her obsession with pudding "Well, it's not a problem if you didn't want to join, I will bring your pudding when we come back"

"Thanks a lot, you're a really great person! Have a safe journey!"

Arthur leaves her alone with whatever she is doing in the basement.

This is their last day before the school is starting, so Arthur decides to take a break and take Emilia outside, they use a black car with Abby as a driver.

Their destination is a shopping district that not too far from their home.

"No matter how many times I look, I still didn't believe I was at different worlds"

Emilia look at the city outside of the window, they just use some casual clothes Emilia wear a long sleeve white shirt, long purple skirt, and black boots, while Arthur just uses white shirts and black jeans.

"You didn't need to put more clothes? The temperature at the outside is slightly cold"

"This is nothing compared to the coldness in the Elior forest..." Emilia answer unintentionally but Arthur knew her well, Arthur grasp her hand with both of his hands

"Don't worry, there must be a way to coming back to the Alfheim. There is also Cecilia in Alfheim, I believe she will take care of everything"

"Thank you... she is very knowledgeable about how to rule the kingdom, I learned a lot from her"

"That's a given... she is a former queen after all"

They're chatting about many things and Abby informs them they arrive at the shopping district.

"Abby, let's go inside"

"Thank you Emilia-sama, but I will go to different stores for buying groceries, so please take your time with Arthur-Sama"

"She is really stubborn... why can't she act closer to us"

"Wow, someone who is stubborn about several things talking about someone else stubbornness behind her back"

"What you said?" Emilia turn her back and glared at Arthur

"Nothing, let's go. There are many interesting things waits for us" Arthur held her hand and take her walking aimlessly

They visit several store and Arthur buy everything she likes without caring about the price and make the employer in the store treat them like supermodels.

Well, it's quite understandable.

With Emilia and Arthur appearance, if they applying become model there is a lot of agencies who want to make a contract with them.

White hair and silver hair already make them stand out, coupled with their face and body shape make them attractive to both male and female.

There is no way for Arthur bringing all of the things they bought so he asks the store to send them back to his house and they agree immediately.

Emilia half-elf ear? The system takes care of all of this

"There is really really a lot of beautiful clothes"

Arthur and Emilia currently in some restaurant, when they pass this restaurant Emilia says she wants to try the special ice cream in this restaurant so Arthur takes her inside.

"But I think we bought too much ..."

"I think it's not a problem, all of the clothes we bought is look very beautiful on you...oh thank you"

The ice cream they order arrives and it was quite large portions, Arthur picks the spoon and feeds the ice cream to Emilia.

"Mmmm... it's very cold and sweet..."

"It's was ice cream after all"

Arthur feed her until the last ice cream enters her mouth, every time he feeds her she always has a blissful smile, it was a portrait of a perfect couple from the other customer perspective, there is even some costumer who takes a picture of Arthur feeding Emilia.

"Do you want another serving?"

"No, I think I full, we will going home now?"

"No, there is another place I want to visit"

"Where?"

"You will know when we arrive there, let's go, we need to find Abby first"

Spending all of their mornings for shopping, Arthur bring her to Kyuuchouji temple searching for Yakumo.

When they arrive, Arthur let Emilia sightseeing with Abby while he is approaching a tree before stopping in front of it.

"Greeting, master Yakumo"

Other people might think there is something wrong with him but there is a slight movement from behind the three and Yakumo come out from there.

"I didn't know how you can find me?"

"There is a little thing that can escape from my eyes" Arthur answer confidently

"Hmmm... let's see.. white hair, blue eyes, and there is also a beautiful girl with silver hair with you. You're Arthur Spencer?"

"Yes, that's me. I will not surprise if master Yakumo can know my identity"

"Oh, why you think like that?"

"You have a disciple in public safety, in ten master clan and also in the army. It will be very weird if you didn't know us"

"From what I know you're coming to Japan with just your friend over there but there are other people in your residence lately" his voice still playful like before but Arthur knows he is testing him

"They're coming separately, one is a researcher from my parent's company, and the other one is the child of a butler who works for my family before. I didn't have bad intentions coming to this country"

"Well, I already retire from meddling with the county like before. What do you need from me? I think you didn't come here just to greet me"

"Yes, I hope you will be willing to teach me about martial arts"

The reason he comes here is in hope Yakumo can teach him about martial arts, it's true he has quite a lot of skill at his disposal, but because he is quite inexperienced he can't bring out all of his potentials.

"Why?"

Arthur didn't answer immediately but he turns his back and look at Emilia who is looking at the temple interested with everything that new for her while chatting with Abby occasionally.

"There is someone I need to protect"

Yakumo following his line of sight, and he give his answer after thinking for several minutes

"Alright, but my training is quite harsh and you need to reschedule your time to early morning before going to the school, well, of course, you need to going early tomorrow for the first day of the school so we will start the training the day after tomorrow"

"Thank you, Yakumo-Sensei"

"Well, I will test your body strength and reaction first now"

After he speaks like that Yakumo throws a punch to Arthur and both of them start the training or it more appropriate to call it as a fight.

With that Arthur officially become Yakumo disciples and embark in training for martial arts.
