Chapter 146: Spring

Chapter 146: Spring

Since the time I came here, my plans were about to drastically change.

I had planned to close the shop on days when the academy was closed, but it seems like that can no longer be the case.

[Yuusuke-chi, you come to the dungeon too.]

[Right. If Yahagi-san does business in the dungeon, it will help us too.]

Not only Carmine and Kurtz, but other students asked me to do it.

The days off at both academies are the same, with three days off within ten days.

The students are gonna use their days off to dive in the dungeon.

I’m also worried about Carmine and the others.

Although I will have fewer holidays, I have decided to open my shop in the dungeon.

For the first time in a long time, I opened my shop on the dungeon’s 1st Underground Floor.

Michelle, who was also on her day off at the academy today, is also coming to help me out.

I would be setting up my shop where Merle and Mira brought me when I just came to this world. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Back then, I didn’t have the money to buy a business permit, so I did business in this tax-free place.

It was also here that I first met Sanaga-san and Mirai-san.

Feeling nostalgic for the years I spent in this world, I was deeply moved as I gazed at the nondescript rock wall.

[Arehh, Yahagi-san? It’s been a while! Why are you here?]

The adventurers who knew me were surprised to see me.

Many of the rookies have grown stronger within the year I hadn’t seen them.

[I’m especially opening up my shop today.]

[Really!? Then, I’d like to pull in the rocket lottery.]

[I’d like a Jumbo Cutlet.]

Not only the students from the academy, but also a number of my former regulars lined up at the shop.

[Yuusuke-chi, are you actually famous?]

Carmine looks at me curiously.

[I used to set up my stall in the dungeon.]

[Ahh, could it be that Yahagi Onsen is Yuusuke-chi’s?]

[Yeah, that’s right. The Gnomes told me about it.]

Staring at my face, Kurtz looked surprised.

[Then that means...... Yahagi-san is the famous Sweets Baron!]

[Thanks. We’ll share them later.]

[Yeah......]

I wonder why?

That was just supposed to be an ordinary conversation, but I could smell the scent of youth in the air.

Heck, I even feel like I’m seeing a hallucination that cherry blossom petals are dancing only at the spot Gort and Kikka stand on.

[Geez, it’s getting so irritating watching them.]

Scratching his head, Kurtz sighs.

[You jealous?]

[That’s not it! They’re obviously in love with each other, but they’re making no progress at all.]

So that’s what this is about huh.

[Acting all wishy-washy, Gort should just confess already.]

[Isn’t it fine? They can just fall in love at their own pace.]

Carmine, who was puffing up her gum, is laid back about it.

[Kah, that’s just pathetic.]

[Then, why don’t you go confess your feelings to Mira-san already?]

[Ugh.]

Kurtz, who got his own situation pointed out by Carmine, suddenly acted very suspicious.

[T- That’s for when I’ve grown a bit more, like when I become a full-fledged adventurer......]

Kurtz likes Mira huh.

From up to Mani-san to Kurtz below, Mira really is popular with all ages.

However, looking at the fact that she’s still single, could it be that Mira has high standards?

Or perhaps, is she just the type of person who isn’t interested in romance?

[You’re just as pathetic then, Kurtz.]

[What about you, Carmine?]

[Me? I don’t really care much about love. Hanging out with Yuusuke-chi and the others is already enough for me......]

When Carmine fluffily answered that, the bubble gum she had blown up burst with a loud pop.

I see, such happiness also exists.

As someone who had been searching for a place of my own in this unknown world for a long time, I understand how Carmine feels.
