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.
