CH 88.2

Tomorrow is my long awaited day off.

It was originally my idea to make a late night convenience store in this world so what’s the point if I don’t go?

I slipped out of bed so as to not wake Laura-san, who was sleeping in the room with me and knocked up my escort, who was sleeping soundly in a chair in the hallway and took her out of the house.

By the way, the twins are in a separate room with a nanny prepared by the Slayra family.

It was a very noble way of raising children but since I myself was born to a mage mother and raised by a nanny, I actually didn’t have too much of a problem with it.

「Listen, the gate will be creaking so get out quietly so they won’t know we’re here. 」

「Isn’t it okay for them to know since we’re just going to master’s store?」

「This is something fun to do in secret.」

As I stepped triumphantly through the gate of the house, whispering to my “ハ” browed escort, someone grabbed me by the shoulders.

「What’s so fun about sneaking out?」

「Ah……ahahaha……」

The slave guard on duty today, who didn’t seem to be very helpful, backed away from me, pointing behind me.

I turned around and there she was……my wife, carrying a long, big knife on her shoulders like a crowbar.

「There is no need to sneak around.」

「No, I just thought you wouldn’t like it if I woke you up……」

「And how do you expect me to not wake up when you slip out of bed?」

While saying so, she brushed her blonde hair back with no bed hair at all.

She’s also dressed up in good clothes and even put a thin layer of makeup. She lined up next to me after hanging her knife on her waist.

「So, where are you going?」

「Ah, to the late-night store on Schenker Street. I’m hungry……」

「Then, let’s get going so we can go back early. Tomorrow’s our day off so we should get some sleep and have a good time.」

「Eh? Laura-san is going too?」

「I’m already awake so let’s go.」

「Sorry」

After a good plan execution, I ended up waking Laura-san. The three of us, me, Laura-san, and my escort, headed for the Schenker Street.

We walked slowly along the half lit street and when I turned to the side, I saw my wife with her blonde hair shining under the moonlight.

Well, though I failed my sneaky mission…..I got something else.

-0-

It’s so dimly lit in the middle of the night in Torquiva that you won’t be able to see far but this is already good.

Before I created the infinite light emitting magic construct, there were almost no streetlights so if you go to a narrow alley where moonlight can’t reach you, it will be pitch black.

Now, you can walk in any small alley and recognize the faces of the people you’ll pass by.

I can even see the gawking face of the fishkin Roast who is coming from across the street.

「……uwwoooo! If it isn’t young master and madam…..what are you doing here so late at night?」

「Ah, we were going to the late night store.」

「I see. An unannounced inspection. Scary.」

「We’re not, we’re just going to buy something. How about you?」

「On my way home after buying tomorrow’s breakfast from the late night store.」

Roast lifted the paper bag she had as she said that. She also said “Mince is there too”.

This girl was probably on her way home from a bar or something, probably.

I guess it’s really popular with the drunks.

It could also be used to get a quick drink before going to bed.

We were brewing sake after all so it’s perfect for that.

The three of us walked down the street while Roast continued her journey to go back home. Chatting in low voices, we turned to the corner onto the Schenker Street and it suddenly became bright.

「It’s amazing how bright it is in the dark……」

「Don’t you get any complaints about this?」

「Nothing yet……」

Looking ahead, we see the late-night store that’s shining brightly through the dark midnight……a group of Schenker adventurers are hanging out like yankees in the seats in front.

「So, I went to visit him. I thought porridge would be good since he has a cold so I brought some and……he was so impressed. He said, “I might have fallen for you.”.」

「Lie」

「What a bunch of lies」

「Do you even know how to cook? Nhahaha」

「Yeah, it’s a lie」

「I mean, you…….ahhhhh…..!」
