「… It’s time to go home」

I am sure Luna-san knows that. I am sure that she knows that I was concerned about her. But it would be better to do the search in several parts than to continue the search and be exhausted to death. I don’t want to waste time, but my health comes first.

With this in mind, I take up a slight position in front of Luna-san without her noticing. If I could get her attention in this way, she would be a little more at ease.

「Luna-san. Can we go next time tomorrow?」

「! Yes! I’m free to go! I’ll do my best!」

「Understood. Let’s work together tomorrow!」

I was a little apprehensive, but she agreed to do it. I had a good time today too, and I wanted to have another adventure with her…

I’ll have to leave earlier tomorrow for Luna-san’s sake.

While we were having this idle conversation, a large door appeared that was not there when we came. It is the same kind of door as the bosses I have fought so far, so I am sure it is the mid-boss who is ahead.

「… What should we do?」

「…… Let’s go!」

「I understand!」

When I asked Luna-san about it, she was troubled for a moment and then responded that she would go. And her words were filled with determination.

───Gyiii…

「「………」」

We look at each other when we see what is waiting for us in the far end.

「◇々٩٩■٩pm’ღϖϖ●ϖ◆◆ヾ？」

「「It talked!?」」

The thing waiting for us in the back of the room is something that everyone needs to use in winter… It is a heater. It is a type of heater that can be used in any direction.

It appears as a boss and starts talking (I don’t know what language), which is an incomprehensible situation.

「Ah, Ayane-tan… ?」

「Yes?」

「Is it possible to cut that with a sword… ?」

「Oh, no problem then! I have an Art for that, in case you’re wondering!」

「As expected~!」

I guess she got nervous when she saw that thing, but Luna-san pointed both index fingers at me.

「For now… 《Appraisal》」

「It’s tough…」

If true, against this kind of enemy, striking type… It would probably be easier to do damage with a big hammer or something like that. I also have a two-handed club… Luna-san has a mace, but I can’t use water magic, and my sword has no blade, so I am a complete liability.

But I also have a technique that I inherited from my Master.

Master said he developed it because he thought there might be enemies in armor, but I figured, it’s not the Middle Ages. But now it comes in handy.

「《Todo-ryu Tojutsu・Zantetsu》!」

「N-No way, that Zan○ken!?」

──Gyaiiiiiinnn……… !!!

「▽дШ≫々▽:/mdgjд:ШЭ!??!?」

「Ooooh!! Amazing!! Ayane-tan is so cute!」

──Pishipishi…… Parin… !

「▽д△д▽Ш▽■tpm◇■gatwj!!?!!?!???」

『This heater will explode after 3 seconds』

「「Ueee!?!!??!」」

「… So many things have happened…」

「That’s right…」

With our tone completely crestfallen, we finally made it to the exit.

「Oh, you two… It’s hot, isn’t it?」

「「Hiii!?」」

「S-Suzu? Why are you angry, may I ask… ??」

「Even though you have me, you’ve been with another woman… You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? Come on, Aya… let’s go home together??」

「… I-I’ve got some things to do…」

「Aya??」

「Yes sorry let’s go home toge…」

「Good」

That’s how I was caught by Suzu. By the way, Luna-san had already escaped… I don’t get it.

What’s waiting for Aya is… Ryoka-san
