CH 26.1

「Aidle, Hu~rry~Up~♪」

「Yes, yes, just a bit okay~」

Today is a first stroll with Arena. However, there will be a lot of opportunities finding me if I stroll normally so it is a rule that concealment must be activated by the two of us.

「Well~ Its interesting things when looking from above a human’s town」

「so interesting~」

Looking from above, Haval had a rectangular shape. The entrance can be found only in the north and south. Merchant shops were aligned on the main streets and at the center are the merchant and adventurer’s guild while Dabble-san’s house is near the eastern wall. The rest are all just residential areas here and there.

Are there no slums in a town of this level?

We were flying along with the wind as we watch the scenery from above. Then a soft touch pokes my head.

「Let’s ride a cloud, Aidle~」

「Nn~?」

When I turn around, I saw Arena making a cloud that looked like cotton candy. It was wide enough for the two of us to lay down, so it’s okay to get with the both of us.

「Why’s it like this… Why, doesn’t it collapse even though it looks so soft? It sure gives a mysterious feeling…」

「Nihihi~♪」

Even though it is soft enough to change shape, it wraps up the body as if it’s some high quality cotton. Isn’t this ignoring the laws of physics?

「Does it feel good~?」

「It feels good, in double ways than one」

「Double~?」

The feel of resting in the soft sensation of clouds while listening to an angelic voice beside me feels really good. The two of us were close together while licking the world tree’s Honey Ice Cream while heading towards the forest.

We moved close to the forest where I trained Sigurd. We moved to the ground, pulled out sheets and prepared our lunch. It was a sandwich with orc meat, fried eggs and world tree’s leaves. The fried eggs were from small birds that are as big as fairies that live on the world tree. We collect the eggs from them.

「「Let’s Eat!!」」

It feels like were going out like a couple, but it is a very fluffy and warm feeling even if we aren’t really doing anything. My happiness levels are breaking through the roof and Arena is smiling three times brighter than usual.

「「Thanks for the Meal!!」」

After finishing our meal and drinking Honey Juice, We started a lively game of Tag. Although my status is astonishingly high, it was almost useless. Arena is just abnormally good at hiding.

Once you lose sight of her, it would be extremely hard even for Testania-san to find her. Even I find it hard to find her on visual sight only. When looking for her by sensing magic power, I was only barely able to find her.

「Found you~!! You’re IT!!~♪」

「Kyaaa~ I’m caught~ Hyahahahaha~♪」

Once you got sight of her, it will be easy to catch her. After grabbing her waist and hugging her, she seems to be really enjoying it.

Ahhh, I’m being healed. Possessing concealment skills and a small body, demons would rarely find them. If they are hiding on grass and someone reaps them they deploy defensive walls. I can see the many advantages of fairies.

「Arena, I think it’s probably the right time to leave and aim for the capital」

「Nuh?」

「It will be a bigger city, and there will be Royals like Testania-san」

「A biggah Town! Woooah!!」

Unanimously, the journey toward the kingdom has been approved. And after all that, I am now giving a lap pillow to arena, it will be just a while more until evening.

「Unnnn…」

「Oh, are you getting sleepy?」

「Unn… sweepy~…」

Arena is already at the point where her eyes are almost closing. If I think about children around her age, then it’s almost nap time now. Well I lay down Arena with a lap pillow though. When I was stroking her smooth hair she went to sleep while smiling. I also closed my eyes for a while, and later it was already sundown.

「Nuuh, My legs~」

「Heyah~」

「Uhh, please spare me~」

When I woke up, it was already evening. At that time Arena played around with my numb leg. It was torture! I also suffered from stiff neck…

We rode a cloud again when we returned to the town. I can the setting sun on a distant mountain.

The sky’s gradation changes from a whitish sky to a night sky. Stars are already coming out. The moving clouds disappearing beyond the mountains are probably forming into rain clouds.

「It sure is peaceful」

「Wisdom~?」

「Oh, have you learned some difficult words?」

「Ehe~」

If possible, I would like someday to be able to make friends with more people, of course along with Arena t

「Oh, welcome come back! Aidle-san a staff from the adventurer’s guild was looking for you? 」

When I entered the Inn that I stayed in, the Inn Lady’s daughter said that to me, but I decided to put it on hold for today. I’ll see what it is tomorrow.
