CCM 026 – Yo, Let’s Stop these Explosive Remarks Here

---

Well then.

I am totally free until the sword is completed.

.

It’s fine to just hang around here in the guild as it is but we’ve just arrived here in Rastal village last night.

.

Also, I wasn’t able to take my time to look around as we immediately went to sleep. Though temporarily, I want to know more about the village I will be living in.

.

With that being the case, Reimira drags me along to walk around the village.

.

Oh, we also got separated with Kaya on the way. Seems like she got herself a very urgent request.

.

Then Kaya said-

.

[Not fair- this is just too lonely!]

.

Even if you say so, as a female A rank adventurer, we can’t just stick around together all the time you know. The fact is I can’t even thank you enough for you staying with me after all this time.

.

[Look over there, Arios! That’s the fountain square! Isn’t it pretty? It’s a landmark here in the village!]

[Haha… I see.]

[Then- then, over there is Rastal village’s best restaurant! You know, the aunty over there is way too scary!]

.

Rei looks like she’s enjoying herself but I can’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

.

Afterall, everyone here in the village definitely knows Rei’s true identity.

.

The second royal princess, Rei.

Such a lady is accompanying a young man with an unknown identity.

No wonder all eyes are on her.

.

If there’s a silver lining in this situation, then it would be that there are only few people walking around with the village being it remote and rural.

.

[What’s the matter, Arios? You don’t seem to be having fun though?]

.

I mean, you know.

Rei is now looking at me who’s been silent all this time with anxiousness in her eyes.

.

[No. That’s not necessarily the case, but…]

[I’m so happy, you know! It feels like a date!]

[Yo, let’s stop these explosive remarks here.]

.

A royalty being married will definitely cause a huge news. We’re already gathering enough useless attention here and that explosive remark isn’t helping at all.

.

[Haha, Reimira-chan’s getting lovey dovey already, isn’t she? Way to go finding a fine young man!]

[Right~!?]

.

And with the villagers adding more fuel to the fire, I can’t immediately stop the smoke from spreading out.

Seriously, these people of this village…

.

[And then, next is…]

.

Reimira seems impatient and can’t wait hardly anymore so we resume walking around.

She really looks like she’s having so much fun.

She looks so happy that I can’t bear to put up any kind of dismay or resistance.

.

[Well… It isn’t that bad from time to time.]

.

It made Rei happy after all.

So perhaps it’s just alright for me to get along with this date and let her have fun.

.

[Then, that over there is the best store….]

.

Rei continues to guide me and point around places as I keep on following her with a bitter smile on my face.

.

.

★

.

.

The sun is about to set before I notice.

.

The village itself isn’t that big but since we loitered around in various places, we went to the best restaurant in the village called <Habaari> and ate our fill. By the time all things get done, it’s already past daytime.

.

Though because of all of these, I got quite a plentiful harvest.

.

[Yo, Arios! Come visit my store again!]

[Haha… Next time.]

[Ufufu, it’s such a pleasure that young people have come.]

.

Before I knew it, I ended up being acquainted with everyone in the village.

.

Ofcourse, not all of them knew of my past.

.

To them, I am just the newbie adventurer, Arios-san.

That’s how they regard me or something along these lines.

.

There’s also the identity of being a candidate of a fiancé for Rei, but that is something I have completely shut down.

.

Unlike the royal capital, everyone in this village is full of warmth. Even for me who has just arrived yesterday, they did not hesitate to welcome me with open arms.

.

Seriously.

I can’t be really any more thankful than this.

.

I was immediately treated as an outcast in the royal capital since I was judged to be a failskill by everyone but since then, this village let me feel once again what people’s kindness is.

.

[Kyaa-! That’s cold!]

.

In the fountain square.

The shrill voice of the princess resounds as she washes herself in it’s overflowing water.
