Chapter 51 Shopping Date (Liz)
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”…Seriously…”
”Is it 2 gold coins for each youma (demon)?”
”Yes. At this size, it’s probably a high-ranking demon. It’s a Rank B monster.”
In front of me are 4 ‘demon stones,’ and the receptionist smiles brightly.
”And, since there have been many incidents on the town street, there was also a request for extermination. Since you didn’t officially accept the request, here’s a part of the extermination reward: one gold coin. So, the total is 9 gold coins.”
”Nine gold coins…”
”We’ve never received a reward like this before…”
One gold coin is about 100,000 yen. That’s 900,000 yen in my old world. Being an adventurer is a job where you risk your life, so even this seems not worth it.
For now, I exchange 2 gold coins for some small coins and receive my reward.
”We’re definitely going to spend it all on a date, right?”
As Liz takes the leather bag filled with gold coins, she mutters.
”If there’s anything left, should we buy some gear other than armor?”
”But, it would be a waste not to buy at least a weapon with the lord’s money.”
”I see. Then, Liz can keep whatever we don’t spend.”
”…I have to make sure I don’t drop it…”
Liz puts the leather bag with the gold coins into her belt pouch.
”So, where should we go on our date?”
”…What’s with that flat delivery?”
”Well, if a date is decided without my knowledge… I wouldn’t know what to do──.”
I stopped my words there. Looking up at Liz’s face, she looked really sad.
(Yeah, I need to enjoy this too.)
”…Sorry. I was a bit insensitive. ──Okay. Let’s enjoy the date.”
”Hiroya… you really are a good guy.”
With a big smile, Liz took my hand and started walking.
”First, let’s have breakfast. How about we try a café?”
”Got it.”
I smiled back at Liz’s cheerful face, and we started walking down the main street together.
* * *
”An open café. There are places like this in the royal capital, huh?”
”Oh, Hiroya, you know this well. How is it? Stylish, right?”
Sitting at a terrace table, we enjoyed a light breakfast while watching the people walking by.
”Hiroya, I didn’t know you drink coffee.”
Liz said while sipping her tea.
”I just… did.”
In a moment of nostalgia from my past life, I accidentally ordered “toast and coffee” from the waiter.
Of course, it didn’t suit my child’s taste, so I added a ton of sugar and milk.
”Still, the royal capital is amazing. There are so many people and all kinds of shops. It really feels like the center of everything.”
”Right?”
Liz rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the street.
”Well… I really like Razia Village.”
Liz murmurs.
”The people in the village are kind. The village is peaceful, and it has a gentle atmosphere. Spending time there with you guys and my good friends is the best. I’m an adventurer from somewhere else, but I want to settle down in that village and have all kinds of adventures.”
Liz gazes into the distance with a nostalgic look in her eyes.
”Yeah, that’s right. So I have to protect that village, and we all do.”
”Yeah. I’m counting on you, Hiroya. I’ll do my best too.”
Liz shifts her gaze to me and smiles gently.
Seeing this side of Liz reminds me again. She really is beautiful.
”?”
I must have been staring at Liz’s face. She looks at me with a “What’s wrong?” expression.
I probably have a red face.
”Yeah, I’ll do my best.”
I sip my sweetened coffee and turn my gaze away, looking at the town.
And so, breakfast time passed slowly.
* * *
”It’s a shop that only exists in the royal capital. Since we’re here, I definitely want to buy something!”
After leaving the café, I ask Liz where our next destination is, and she says that while pulling my hand and walking ahead.
”…”
”In the village, they only have practical designs. I want something cute, right?”
”…”
”When I go back to the village, I have to impress Ares, so I want something a little sexy…”
”…”
”Hiroya? Are you alive?”
”Hey, Liz.”
”Yeah?”
”Do I really need to be here?”
”No, I want your advice on which one is good.”
”…From an 8-year-old kid?”
”Even so, you’re a proper man, right? You can use your instincts and feelings.”
”Instincts, huh?”
”As a man, I want to know what kind of things you want women to wear.”
We are at a trendy lingerie shop.
”Please, Hiroya! Come in with me!”
I understand the feeling of wanting cute, pretty, and stylish things. Liz is a girl after all. But going in there with her is…
I glance up at Liz. …Okay, I get it. You don’t have to look like you’re about to cry…
”Alright! Let’s go!”
With determination, I pull Liz’s hand and we enter the store.
* * *
(Ah, I don’t know where to look)
There are so many cute and sexy things, and if I look away, I see garter belts.
”Hiroya! This one just has a little fabric in the front, and the back is just strings!”
Liz excitedly shows me a red pair of panties right in front of my eyes. There’s clearly not enough fabric. Wait, they have thongs in this world?
”This one comes as a set. When I wear this, it barely covers… you know, that part.”
Next is a red bra. It’s basically a micro bikini.
”I think that’s a bit too sexy…”
I turn my face away but still comment.
”If I wear something like this and approach Ares… would he turn into a beast? …No, maybe a beast is good…”
Liz’s face turns red. What is she imagining?
”I think white would look prettier on you since your skin has a healthy color.”
What am I doing, giving calm advice?
”Is it… pretty?”
She covers most of her face with the bra she’s holding, only her teary eyes looking at me.
”Yeah, you’re beautiful, Liz.”
”…You’re really a woman killer, Hiroya, even though you’re just a kid…”
”What?”
”Nothing! It’s white, right? I’ll go find it!”
(Did I say something unnecessary?)
In the end, she bought a set of white-based purple lace, a set of pink lace, the first red set with a small fabric area, a set of black lace (along with a matching black inner bustier), and a few simple-designed everyday wear items with lace frills.
”In the village, they only sell plain shorts and bras with no frills.”
”I guess you can only find fashionable stuff in the capital. Well, I better buy some now. I understand.”
”Thanks, Hiroya.”
”…Let’s head out now that we’re done shopping.”
”Yeah!”
Liz, holding the shopping bag, looked at it happily and then linked her arm through mine as we left the store together.
* * *
”We’re running out of time because we wasted too much time at the guild.”
”Really? I don’t have the schedule memorized.”
”Next is Rena. I think we’ll go shopping and then have lunch. We’ll meet at the same spot where I met you this morning.”
”Oh, so it’s over already.”
Hiroya and Liz returned to the central square and found a street vendor among the stalls in one corner.
”Liz, come here for a moment.”
He took her hand and led her there.
* * *
”Is it okay to buy you something like this?”
Liz traced the silver accessory hanging from her ear with her finger. Her expression was a shy smile.
”As a girl, you have to dress up a little, you know.”
I bought a pair of silver ear cuffs from the accessory vendor and put them on Liz.
”I wanted to thank you for the enjoyable shopping date. They look great on you.”
”I was expecting a separate gift… thanks.”
”Separate?”
”Yeah. Come here for a moment, Rena?”
Liz beckoned to a small alleyway.
”? “
I followed Liz into the alley, where she turned around and bent down, closing her eyes.
”What’s wrong?”
”It’s the ‘kiss’ that ends a date.”
Liz grinned, opening one eye.
”You have Ares, right, Liz!”
”Today’s date is with Hiroya. What’s wrong with kissing you, Hiroya?”
”No, it’s not right.”
”Come on, hurry up~♡.”
Liz playfully swayed her hips and pouted her lips.
(Well, I’ll show her.)
I lightly touched my lips and then immediately wrapped my hand around Liz’s head, slipping my tongue into her mouth.
Liz’s body trembled for a moment, but she quickly intertwined her tongue with mine.
I sucked on her soft tongue and then teased it in my own mouth.
”Nfuu~♡.”
When I licked the surface of her tongue, the left and right sides, and then the back of her tongue, Liz let out a faint sigh.
”M…n…muh~♡.”
”Mwah.”
I kissed her lightly on the forehead.
”…You woman killer…”
Liz looked at me with a flushed face.
”It’s your fault for teasing me, Liz.”
”I give up…”
* * *
”Then have fun with Rena next! I had a great time!”
Liz waved from a distance.
”Got it! Thanks, Liz!”
I waved my hand too. Then, in the crowd, Liz walked away toward the inn. I put the 15 small coins for our date that Liz gave me into my leather pouch and headed to the guild.
Now, next is the goddess (Rena).
