Chapter 183 Confessing to Isis-san (1/2)

The 5th day of the Earth month. I am currently standing in front of the eastern gate of the royal capital of Symphonia.

I wonder how they made this wall though. Piled up stones? Bricks? Although I don’t know enough about it just by looking at it, the massive and solid wall, and the big gate are quite majestic when I look at it again up close.

Since the protective wall surrounding the royal capital is equipped with a Barrier Magic, the gate is said to be almost always open, and basically no monsters can come near it.

The only exception to this are the wyverns and other monsters that have a certain level of power and can fly, but putting aside the monsters from the Demon Realm, in the Human Realm, there are almost no monsters with that level of flying ability.

Lilia-san’s mansion, just like other nobles’ homes, is located near the center of the royal capital, so I haven’t been near the gates that much.

This is my first time being within the vicinity of the East Gate, but I heard it’s usually busy with peddlers…… But currently, there is only the bare minimum of gatekeepers around the area, making it hard to believe that it’s just before noon.

The reason for this is simple, because Isis-san will be here soon…… I myself don’t fear her magic power of death thanks to my Sympathy Magic, but that’s just me as a special case, and it seems that if Isis-san were to visit a city, sooner or later, that city would be in this kind of situation.

As soon as the pocket watch in my hand shows 11:00 and it’s time to meet up with Isis-san, a pillar of ice appears in front of me, and after breaking into multiple pieces of ice dancing like flower petals with the wind, Isis-san appears.

[……Kaito…… Hello.]

[Isis-san! Hello, thank you for coming out today.]

[……No…… but……. is it alright? ……Wouldn’t I…… just be causing trouble?]

[I don’t think you’re causing any trouble at all.]

Isis-san didn’t specifically say anything about what she was causing trouble with, but I can somewhat imagine from the way she moved her gaze to the trembling gatekeepers.

It’s like she worried that her, going out to the royal capital, is causing me trouble.

[I’m sorry for the sudden invitation…… Errr, do you remember what I said when you saved me back at the Sacred Tree Festival before?]

[……U- Unnn.]

Hearing the words I told her with a smile, Isis-san nodded with a slightly perplexed expression on her face.

Yes, the reason why I invited Isis-san to the royal capital this time…… is about the matter of inviting her to eat together with me when she saved me back at the Sacred Tree Festival.

[……H- However…… If I…… If I were to go to a normal restaurant……]

[It’s alright. I’ve thought that through as well.]

Yes, this is something that I also realized later on…… Isis-san is always clad in her magic power of death and unconsciously intimidates the nearby beings.

So, if we were to go to an ordinary restaurant, the waiter would be frightened to serve us and the other customers would also take their distance from us…… I don’t think Isis-san would be able to enjoy such a situation.

[So, Isis-san. So, let’s go on a “picnic” with me.]

[……Picnic?]

[Yes. I heard from an acquaintance that there’s a hill beyond the East Gate where we can see the whole city. I have prepared a bento as well.]

[……Won’t I…… be troubling…… Kaito?]

Yes, what I had in mind for today was a picnic.

This way, Isis-san wouldn’t have to worry about the gazes and reactions of the people around her, and even if I were to confess, I thought it would be good since we would naturally be alone.

But still, it seems that Isis-san is concerned about me, as she has a worried expression on her face, so with the gentlest smile I can muster, I spoke.

[Rather than troubling me…… I actually feel like I’m going to rely on Isis-san on this picnic.]

[……Eh?]

[You see, I’m too weak to go out of the city by myself…… So, I was actually thinking of asking something convenient for me, asking Isis-san to protect me.]

[…….Fufu…… Unnn…… Okay…… I’ll protect…… you, Kaito.]

[Thank you. Well then, let’s go.]

[……Unnn.]

It seems that she understood my intentions, as Isis-san smiles and happily nods.

Thereupon, Isis-san and I walked out of the East Gate, walking towards a direction a bit away from the main road, in the direction of the hill.

[I’m glad that the weather is fine today.]

[……Unnn…… It has been…… quite warm recently.]

[Speaking of which, in this world, are there such things like seasons…… Errr, I mean would there be warm months or cold months?]

While walking up the hill, I asked Isis-san about the world.

If I were to compare it to Japan, the current climate would be about as warm as spring, but does this world also have four seasons?

[……Unnn…… The Light month…… is the warmest…… and the Heaven month…… is the coldest…… In the Demon Realm though…… It’s different in every region.]

[Heehhh… Then, the current month is the time where the temperature is rather moderate huh.]

[……Unnn.]

The 30th day of the Heaven month was the day I was summoned to this world…… The temperature around that time until New Year’s day was around the same as autumn, so it seems this world doesn’t have as much temperature difference as Japan.

I don’t mind the cold weather, but I’m not really a big fan of hot weather since I tend to sweat easily, so I’ve been very comfortable in this world while the temperature was around spring and autumn.

[……Going out sometimes like this is good. Ahh, since Isis-san is collecting all those stuff, you must have been to lots of places huh.]

[……Unnn…… but…… It’s been a really long time…… since I’ve gone out with anyone……]

[Is that so……]
