CH 38

Is it sunny and then stormy on rest day of the week?

***---***

Meline-san, who is training at Amanda-san's shop, came early in the morning to help with the preparation.

She wants to learn work procedures and recipes as soon as possible and reopen the store that her father left behind.

Really, if only her stupid brother Nikola would follow her example.

Amanda-san also heard about her story and seems to be enthusiastically instructing.

When I asked if it was okay to have a business enemy in the same city of Volzard, she stated that she would not lose to a person trained at her place, and if there were rivals, they could compete and grow together, so rather, they were very welcome.

Amanda-san, you look like a shounen manga hero, don't you?

That's why Meline-san has joined the breakfast table and we have a livelier morning.

"Meline-san, have you talked with Kartz-san?"

"Yeah, Kartz-san sometimes come to eat at noon."

That's right, he gets to see Meline-san, and this time the taste is good, so I'm sure he'll be happy.

"The number of garrison and male customers has increased, and sales have risen sharply, which is a big help."

Today is rest day, so the guild is closed, but many eateries and shops close on dark day, so Amanda-san's shop is also open.

And Meisa-chan, who was deprived of her position as the signboard girl by Meline-san, is eager to help the store to restore her position.

"Kent is a hindrance, so don't wander around."

"Yes, I understand ..."

After breakfast, when I thought about what to do today, I remembered that I hadn't explained anything about how to get a job to the five rescued people.

The day before yesterday, I took them to the guild to find a job, but after talking to Donovan-san, I passed out in a revenge match with Gilik and was sent to the medical office.

Furthermore, Muell-san gave me sleeping medicine, and when I woke up, I was taken by Donovan-san to treat Beatrice, and I passed out again and came back yesterday evening.

After all, I've left the five people completely unattended.

I mean, isn't my daily life too hard?

According to Muell-san yesterday, the old and new duo seem to be cooperative, so they seem to be okay, and the dekoboko sisters will be okay.

The problem is fake glasses who is going straight down the path to becoming a NEET.

I took him to the guild using Muell-san as bait, but I wonder what happened after he was beaten to a pulp by Gilik.

I'm still worried, so I'll go take a look.

"Amanda-san, I'll be out until evening."

"OK, be careful ... you have a bodyguard, so it's okay, just go!"

"Yes, I'm going!"

I called out to Amanda-san, and when I got out of the back door, I stopped in surprise.

"Ma, Manon ...?"

"G, good morning ... Kent."

Manon, who usually wears a large shirt, wears a dress instead of her usual loose trousers.

A light blue dress that matches her hair, a dark brown half coat, and short boots with cute floral decorations on her feet.

It's dangerous, it's cute, she really looks like a girl.

"Does it not suit me ...?"

Manon asks me while fidgeting, and I can only shake my head without words.

"I, it suits me ...?"

I could only nod, but when I suddenly felt a gaze and turned to the alley, a shadow disappeared quickly.

Looking closely, I can see that there are two faces looking at me vertically side by side from the shadows, I see, she was dressed up by the dekoboko sisters.

However ... excellent! If there weren't any people watching, I woudl hug her, but ... I'm sorry, it's a lie, I don't have the courage to do that.

"Cu, cute ... extremely cute ..."

"Really?"

"Yeah ... super cute ..."

Kuuu ... The small, lively, Manon is so cute it's painful.

"Was Kent going somewhere?"

"Eh? Uh, yeah ... that's right, but I'll talk to the two people over there before deciding ..."

"Ah ... it was exposed?"

"Yeah, those are the clothes you bought last time, right?"

"Uuh ... I'm sorry, I wasted money ..."

Oh crap ... She's quickly becoming downhearted.

"Oh, no, I'm not angry, it's fine, because the Gigawolfs sold well so you don't have to worry about it."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really, really ... it's extremely cute."

"Huu ..."

Oops, she covered her face with both hands, and turned her back to me, but the view from the back is also cute.

Jeez, as if the dekoboko sisters weren't enough ... that said, I felt a gaze and looked behind me, Amanda-san, Meline-san, Meisa-chan all stood there smirking at me.

"Kent is such a smooth operator."

"Yeah, Kent is kind ..."

"But Kent is lewd."

"Hey, what are you talking about, Meisa-chan!"

For the time being, I felt it woudl be bad to stay here.

"Ma, Manon, come with me ..."

"Eh, uh, yeah ..."

"I'm going to the livre farm!"

I pull Manon's hand and enter the alley opposite of the alley where the dekoboko sisters are.

I was thinking of asking about Yagi, but right now I'll postpone it.

We quickly walked down the alley, entered another alley, and hid in the shadow of the stacked boxes, and then put out a square shield of darkness to hide in a hurry.

"Oh, no, where did they go?"

"Tomo-chan, there is an alley ahead!"

"Hey, I won't let them go ..."

"If I remember correctly, the livre plantation is ... this way."

"Okay, let's go, At-chan!"

"OK, Tomo-chan!"

The sound of 2 people's footsteps noisily move away from the alley.

I breathed quietly until I couldn't hear the sound of footsteps anymore.

I hid in a panic and am currently hugging Manon in the shadows.

After calming my pounding heart with a deep breath, I whispered to Manon.

"Manon, for a moment Yagi ... I want to check on Yusuke, is that okay?"

"Yes ..."

Manon grabbed my hand as I put away the shield of darkness and went out.

I was a little surprised, but I daringly squeezed her hand.

This time, it was Manon who was surprised, but she squeezed mine back.

I'd like to aim for the temporary dormitory of the garrison like this, but gulp ... it takes considerable courage to do so ...

People on the road cast warm looks and murderous looks at me.

Hyah--! I, am in a normie situation!

Oh, let's forget about fake glasses and go play somewhere.

"Yusuke ... I was a bit worried ..."

"Eh, why is that? Is something wrong?"

"Yeah ... what can I say, Gilik-san has his eyes on him ..."

"Ah ... He did resemble a worn-out dust rag ..."

"Yeah ... um, after that, Kazuki and Tatsuya? Those two were grabbed and taken away ..."

"Ouch ... that reminds me, how about yesterday?"

"I don't know because I only met Tomoko and Akemi yesterday ..."

Everything considered, it seems better to go check on him for a bit.

It couldn't be helped, so I went to the temporary dormitory of the garrison, but Yagi must have gone somewhere and I couldn't see him.

"Where did Yagi go?"

"Do you want to go find him?"

"Hmm ... I think it's okay if he went out for a distraction, so we don't have to go."

"Well, yeah ... then why don't we go up the ramparts?"

"Up on the wall? Okay ..."

I wonder what it is, there is no rock ogre corpse anymore, yet Manon likes to go up on the ramparts so much.

I was surprised to be asked to go up on the ramparts.

The scenery was completely different from when I climbed the other day.

Whether you look to the right or to the left, there are a lot of couples.

Some couples are about the same age as us, but most are older, more adult couples.

Naturally, the degree of close contact is different, isn't it?

It's not that I'm not thrilled just by holding hands, but they're sticking together closer.

It's not uncommon for couples to kiss enthusiastically here and there, and they're kissing everywhere.

"Well ... I wonder if this is always like this on the day of rest ..."

"Oh, that's right ..."

In the pink space that I would have never imagined, my head became dumb.

I've heard that there are date spots and places where couples gather in Japan, but I've never been there, and of course, there weren't any girls to go with.

Somehow, rather than climbing the stairs of an adult, when I got off the elevator, it was like an adult's floor ... I just walked on the ramparts without knowing what to do.

The air was so pink that I couldn't even look up, and my heart was fluttering.

When I glanced at her, Manon's neck was dyed in vermilion, and it has an indescribable luster.

"Ma, Manon ... I think it's a little early for us to be here ..."

"Uh, yeah ... I think so too ..."

Manon-chan, aren't your eyes going in circles? You might be overdoing it.

I pulled the hand of Manon who was on the verge of fainting, turned around and descended from the ramparts.

But, when we grow up a little more ... that said, what am I saying ...

We returned to near the gate, so we went to the garrison's dormitory again to see if Yagi had returned.

Yagi hadn't returned, but we met an unexpected person.

"Oh, Kent, my daughter really caused you trouble yesterday."

"Oh, Marianne-san, no, thank you for the excessive reward."

Marianne-san, dressed in the garrison uniform, doubles her dignity.

Uh ... Manon-chan, it feels like my hand is starting to squeak ... Isn't it too tight?

"It was just right, come here, Rise, thank him properly."

Beatrice was trying to hide behind Marianne-san, but she seemed to be staring at Manon and I.

Her physical condition seemed to be completely restored, and when she stood beside Marianne-san, I felt the aura of the first time I met her.

She picked up her skirt with both hands, bent down lightly, gave a fascinating and elegant bow, and then opened her mouth.

"Kent-sama, thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life."

"Yes ... no, I just did what I could ..."

"Still, I can't find any words of gratitude for saving the life that the Volzard healers had forsaken. Also ..."

"Oh, also ...?"

Beatrice cast a fleeting glance at Manon, and shamefully put her hands on her cheeks.

"After having been stroked all over my body ... I can't be a wife anymore."

"Kent ... what is she saying?"

Igiiii ... Manon-chan, my fingers ... my fingers will break ...

"No, no, that was treatment ... it doesn't count ..."

Even so, I wonder what she's suddenly saying, is Beatrice saying this even when there are garrison people around her?

"However, having my improper appearance seen by a man ... Shouldn't you take responsibility?"

Stop hiding your chest with both hands! It looks as if I've done something ridiculous.

I'm not completely innocent, but it's just part of the treatment ... or rather, it seems that the fingertips of my left hand are losing sensation.

Beatrice approached me, who had a cold sweat dripping down my body, with a smile on her face that is calm and composed, and snuggled up against me.

Ooooooo ... Everyone started making a commotion, after kissing me on the cheek, Beatrice licked her lips as if savoring the taste.

Are the rabbits of Volzard carnivorous?

"Kent-sama, from now on, please call me Rise."

"Y, yes ..."

"Well then, if you will excuse us, Okaa-sama, let us go."

No, Marianne-san, don't look at me with an expression that says 'Oh dear!', say something please.

I mean, surrounded by the warm gaze of the garrison members, Manon's gaze pierces like a sharp blade from the left, can you tell me what I should do?

"Kent ... you will tell me the story in detail, right?"

"Of course ..."

"Kent, look at me ..."

"Uu ... th, that just now, th, that was just teasing me ..."

"Did you touch her?"

"Uh ... but, that was just treatment ..."

"Did you touch her ...?"

"Yes ..."

"Kent you cheater!"

"Hyabu ..."

N, no way ... Manon leaves after slapping me as hard as she can.

Rather, Manon, you''re wearing a dress today, so you can't walk like that.

Uh ... the warm eyes that are coming from the surroundings are painful.

"Hyahhhhhhhh, Kokubu, serves you right!"

"This voice is ... Yagi ..."

Looking back at the owner of the voice, I see Yagi laughing while holding his belly, pointing at me, and laughing.

"Have you realized Kokubu, you are ... a person on this side!"

No, no, I don't think I'm someone who puts on airs ...

"Well, it's a thousand years too early for you to get along with a pretty girl before me!"

"No, I can't live a thousand years."

"It's natrual, that's why if you want her, first introduce this cute girl to me, and everything will go around in a circle!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand, I'll tell Gilik-san that Yagi is aiming for Muell-san ..."

"That, absurd! What are you saying, don't you know how terrible I had it because of you? Don't spread false information! Me aiming at the cat-eared onee-san, I'm not thinking such a thing!"

Yagi is too desperate, I guess he was treated harshly.

"Yes, you're not aiming, not aiming, you're not aiming, but I'll tell Gilik-san that you were looking at Muell-san's chest ..."

"Are you stupid! That's even worse!"

"But you were looking, weren't you?"

"Eh ... n, no ... that, was I wonder ..."

It's useless to pretend otherwise, because anyone can see that you were.

"Yes, I will report that you were watching!"

"Look you, if you say such a disadvantageous thing, you were also watching!"

"I don't really mind ... Anyway sooner or later, I'll make Gilik say 'Ouch!' ..."

"You ... are you really thinking of doing that?"

"Yeah, I'll report ..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Kokubu, yes, let's talk, aren't we fellows who were summoned together?"

What are you talking about, even though you pointed at people and burst into laughter ...

"Well, let's reconsider, Kokubu-kun, Kokubu-san? Kokubu-sama!"

"Will you work seriously from tomorrow? If you work, I won't report."

"Ku ... dirty, Kokubu ..."

"Yes, report ..."

"Okay! Work, I wonder if I should work ... Damn ..."

"Then, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, so get up properly."

"I understand ... Tsk, I'm sorry ..."

Well, I was able to achieve my original goal, but ... well, I'm depressed when I think about meeting Manon tomorrow ...
