─ ─ The next day, I went to Princess Leia’s room to pick her up. I left my usual armor and spear behind, as I was going out today. However, I don’t know when I will have to fulfill my role as an escort. I had only a short, small spear, which I could carry in my shorts, tucked into my belt at my waist. Other than that, he was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes: shirt and chino-style trousers.

…Although ordinary, I have thought about what to wear in a certain way. After all, it was the first time in my life (including my previous life) that I was going out with a girl, so I was really hyped up about it. I chose clothes that looked like they were made of the highest quality fabric possible, and I thought about the color, the combination with shoes and even the color of socks. As a result, I ended up looking like a mob character that could be found anywhere in castle town.

After a short walk down the corridor, I see the front of the princess’ room.

“Eh…”

There, I could already see the princess waiting in front of her room. And not in her usual dress, but in plain clothes. She was wearing an inconspicuous shirt and a white cardigan, like a town girl anywhere, and a skirt that covered up to her knees.

…What a refreshing change. And it suits her so well… she’s so cute.

Already, my heart starts to pound.

“…Gustav-sama? You are here?”

“Ah, yes! Good morning, Princess.”

“Good morning, Gustav-sama.”

The princess bashfully looks a little embarrassed.

…Oh no, she’s so adorable. The princess is so cute that my heart is about to accelerate to full throttle and fall off a cliff with all my momentum.

But there’s no time to die here. Today is just the two of us. It’s a so-called [date]… In times like this, a man is supposed to escort a woman, right?

“Well, shall we go then, Princess? Is there somewhere you would like to go, for example?”

“Well… for now, I want to walk around the castle town. I want to feel the bustle of people first hand.”

“I understand. I would like to walk around the castle town for the time being.

So can you show me the way there, Gustav-sama?

“Yes!”

… and so began the date (?) between me and Princess Leia. And then, we went out of the back gate, out of the royal castle, and away from the public eye.

…Well. This is sudden, but what do you generally do when guiding a blind person as a carer? When walking with the maid, Princess Leia held the maid of honor by the elbow and walked half a step behind her. I thought I should do the same, so I held out my elbow and said, “Please”.

“I’ll leave you to it, Gustav-sama.”

“No, please don’t hesitate…?”

Two twin hills pressed against each other. It’s a breast of a breast. My arms were completely embraced in the perfect soft position of Princess Leia’s breasts.

“Eh, Princess?”

“Come on, let’s go, Gustav-sama.”

“Oh, my arm!”

“Gustav-sama, the day is passing by so fast! Not a moment can be wasted!”

I’m forcibly taken out of here. No, no, wait a minute. As expected, I had to lead the way, and I had no choice but to start walking in the same position.

… I had no choice but to, right? I didn’t say anything more because I wanted to feel the soft and warm touch of the princess as it is. There was never such an impure reason.

─ – And so, Princess Leia and I toured various places in the castle town.

First, the morning market. This was a bit of a poor choice, I think, for myself. The streets of the market were crowded with people buying foodstuffs, and both the princess and I were squashed. I managed to protect her body from being crushed, but Thanks to this, I had to go through the streets in a shoulder-hugging or half-back-hugging position.

“I’m sorry, Princess. I didn’t expect it to be this crowded either.”

“No, I am rather somewhat glad. I could feel that Gustav-sama was very close to me.”

“Is that so…?”

… I don’t want to mention that I also enjoyed being physically close to Princess Leia.

Next up was a slightly early lunch. I went into a long-established coffee shop that has long been a favorite in the castle town and ordered tea and a set of bite-sized sandwiches.

“Gustav-sama, what is sandwiched in this one?”

“It seems to have pickles in it, along with tomatoes, lettuce and other vegetables.”

“Well, I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t like pickles…”

“Then I’ll eat it. How about this ham and potatoes instead? It’s a bit spicy.”

“Yes, I’ll have that one.”

Princess Leia opens her little mouth and turns to me.

…What? Is this what you call an ‘ahh’?

“Well, then, Princess, ahh…”

“Uh-uh.”

Gently place the sandwich in the mouth of the princess. The slight sensation of her lips moving through the bread was felt. How should I put it, I feel extremely nervous. And then the stares from inside the shop, half warm and half reminding me to explode my rear end… Sorry, I’m really fulfilled right now, including that kind of air feeling. Mm-hmm.

“It was so tangy and delicious. Now, Gustav-sama, please have the pickle. Yes, ahh.”

“Eh, ah, yes. Mmm.”

Muffled. Munch. The warmth of the princess’ fingers remains on the sandwich, which is then devoured in one bite.

“Is it good?”

“Yes, very much!”

…Ah, I’m chewing on happiness right now. The sandwich is wonderful. Thank you, Uncle Sandwich, for leaving such a flirtatious food culture in this world.

In the face of this happiness, any misfortune that I was actually not fond of pickles was quickly drowned out.
