Chapter 39: Time for the two of us

The time passed quickly as the two of them talked, so they went downstairs to the cafeteria to have dinner.

The taste of the food was just average, and they went back to their rooms without any further comments.

It was still too early to go to bed, so they spent the rest of the time looking for the spoils of the day. At that time, Ai suddenly showed a sign of thinking about something.

Hmm

Whats the matter?

No, I feel like theres one more thing I should have done, but I cant remember.

Something you have to do? Hmm~.youve finished everything today oh!

Tatsuro didnt think there was anything in particular he could think of, but just to be sure, he thought back on his past actions and remembered now that there was definitely something he should have done earlier.

What?

A permit to enter town!

Thats it!

They had completely forgotten that they were now entering the town with a temporary permit.

They both reflected on the fact that if they had just forgotten about it, they might have caused trouble for Zendo.

Lets go update it first thing in the morning.

Yes, absolutely! He has been good to us, but we cant bother him.

They nodded at each other and filled in their schedules.

If were going to the gate anyway, why dont we go to the guild tomorrow and take care of some simple requests?

Yeah, I guess so. The payment from the guild is due in five days.

Until then, I have to make do with only the money I have, but todays expenses were unexpectedly large.DiisCoover updated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)com

I should earn some money so that I can live comfortably.

I cant believe this is all the money we had.

Youre spending too much, Ai.

I need everything!

But I dont have anything special to buy with this, so Im going to keep it low for a while.

Tatsuro wondered if it was true, and although he had some doubts, he decided to believe it if the lady herself said so.

Well, lets spend a few more days taking requests, and in the meantime, well think about the request that Leela-san mentioned.

Ah, there was such a thing heh.

Ai narrowed her eyes with a subtle expression as she said this.

Dont you want to take it, Ai?

At the moment, Id rather do both.

Id like to take a few requests and see what its like.

I guess so. Well, if it looks good enough, I might as well take it to reassure the people of this town.

If I dont, Zendo-san will be worried.

Thats true.

Do you feel hot?

No, not at all. Tatsuro is so warm I think Ill fall asleep soon.

Then Ai clung to Tatsuro like a koala. However, when Tatsuro does so, he finds it difficult to sleep.

However, when he saw Ais happy face, he couldnt say the same, and he realized that he would need to take advantage of life magic again today.

As the sun rose, Tatsuro and Ai renewed the number of days they had stayed in the other world. One of them, who had been sleeping close to each other, woke up.

He picked up his pocket watch on his pillow and looked at the time, the hands were pointing to a little past six oclock.

I think Ill get up. I dont want to sleep now.)

He decided to get up, but in order to do so, he would have to pull the healthy child who was sleeping happily in his arms, who went to bed earlier than him and woke up later than him, out of his body.

Thinking about what to do, he couldnt come up with a good idea, so he tried kissing the forehead that was right in front of him.

Thats right, look, raise your arms.

There are fairy tales about waking up with a kiss, but the princess in front of him would not wake up whether he kissed her on the forehead or on the mouth.

Then the sleepiness came back, and he had no choice but to let it take over.

When the morning sun had completely risen, one of them, who was sleeping close to each other, woke up.

He picked up the pocket watch on his pillow and looked at the time, the hands were pointing at half past eight.

(I should get up soon, huh)

Happy that he was the first one to wake up today, he decided to wake up the person sleeping next to him. However, just waking her up was not enough of a trick.

So, what was he thinking? He kissed her on the other cheek to see if she was awake. Then he kissed her forehead, neck, eyelids, chin, and everywhere else to see if she woke up, but there was no sign of her waking up.

Still sleeping? Sleepyhead)

Murmuring that in his mind, he kissed her on the lips for the last time.

Nnn..nn?

When she woke up, she saw that her lips were covered by something.

It was soft and felt like something she had tasted before.

When she opened her eyes, they parted, and she saw him smiling in front of her, filling her vision.

It was then that she finally remembered what it was that she had just felt.

Good morning, Tatsuro.

Good morning, Ai.

And so, this time, they kissed of their own volition.

In the midst of this, Tatsuro was secretly thinking about something like this.

(I didnt think I was supposed to be the princess.)

Haha!

Eh!? What?! Whats wrong?

Imagining himself dressed as a princess, Tatsuro couldnt help but blow up.

Ai was worried about his sudden behavior, but Tatsuro said, Its nothing, and covered it up.

This is how they started their day together.
