Back in their own world, Shinji and the others decided to return to their daily routine until there was progress in Freri’s surveillance of Kuroumaru and the others. Shinji and Emily went to work in Wolf territory. Meanwhile, Lila and the others are working as adventurers.
Shinji, who is supposed to be the treasurer, is asked by Christina to go to a village in the territory. The village is too far away for a day trip, and an overnight stay is necessary to return.
Although the request is ostensibly from Christina, who is in charge of the work, it is actually at Shinji’s request. The purpose was to have plenty of free time at night.
Then, upon arrival at the village, Shinji reconfirms the contents of the petition from the village as requested by Christina, and investigates them using magic. After informing the village head of his findings and promising to report to the lord (Alvin), Shinji rents an empty house in the village for a day.
A normal official would spend the night, but Shinji is different. He changes into a formal suit prepared in advance and puts on a mask that covers the upper half of his face. Shinji, who looks like he could attend a masked ball hosted by an aristocrat with a luxurious look, sends a thought to someone.
[Hayate, are you ready to go?]
[Ah, onii-san. I’m ready!]
The thought is directed to Hayate. Shinji needed to make time to invite her to a top-class restaurant (hotel) in the capital, which he had promised to do.
[Then, can you send the magic power to the invitation? That way you can teleport to the hotel.]
[Okay. But isn’t it too much to coming in and out to the hotel with teleport magic? Invitations are disposable.]
[Well, but wouldn’t it be conspicuous if I brought my mistress to the hotel with me? Besides, this service is favored by aristocrats who are worried about being seen.]
[Then why didn’t they have mistresses in the first place?]
[Well, it’s none of my business. Anyway, it’s a lot easier if we don’t have to walk around anymore, isn’t it?]
Behind the living room is a bedroom with a double bed. In addition, there is a toilet, a changing room, and a bath room. In addition, there is a doorbell on the table in the living room, and if the doorbell is rung, a maid will be at service, so that they can spend a perfect time.
Now, Shinji and Hayate are shown to their room and drink a welcome drink. Hayate is surprised by the refreshing and pleasantly high quality alcohol. The difference from the ale she used to drink as an adventurer is too great to even compare.
But this is only the beginning of her surprise.
”It’s so good~♡ So delicious~♡!”
Hayate was in love with the appetizers, soups, and other delicacies that came out one after another. She could not stop her knife and fork in front of what she thought was the most delicious dish of her life. The gesture is not admirable, but no one can blame her for it.
”If I had my smartphone, I could have taken a picture. It’s a shame really, because it looks so stylish.”
”I know pictures are the still images you were talking about before, but smart phones look... another new term...”
”Ah, sorry, onii-san. Do you mind? I probably can’t explain it well, and I don’t know the structure of it either. If it about the pictures, I’m good... but the video camera... no, those recording crystals are so expensive...”
The distant look in Hayate’s eyes reminded Shinji of the time she asked him if he could take a video of her. He told her that she could buy a recording crystal that could record images, but from the way Hayate looked at him, he guessed that she did not buy it.
Hayate, who knows about modern video cameras, would never have thought of buying a recording crystal because of its high price and inconvenience of not being able to edit the video, such as cutting a scene, or overwriting the video without re-shooting.
As they eat, Shinji listens to Hayate talk about why she wants photos and videos, albums, and home drama, the act of preserving memories in a physical form. Hayate was pleasantly surprised by Shinji’s speaking style, which was not only listening but also speaking in a way that made the conversation lively at key points.
They chat over a delicious meal and drinks. Hayate, who is a cheerful and sociable person, enjoyed the conversation very much. Then they continued to talk, changing the topic one after another and changing their facial expressions.
