Chapter 404 It was a Cute Request (2/2)

Updated from lightnovelworld[/.]com

[Unnn. Well then, your next stop should be Agni-chan’s place, right? Good luck~~]

Lightly bowing my head to Ozma-san who was lightheartedly waving his hand at us, I left the place with Anima, aiming for the next arena.

Together with Anima, I proceeded to the fifth arena.

On the stamp card in my hand, there were four oversized stamps, proof that I had defeated the War King’s Five Generals. I don’t count the stamps from the attractions we participated in along the way since they weren’t counted in Megiddo-san’s place…… The next one is the fifth, the last stamp I needed.

[Master, a hummingbird arrived……]

[Unnn? Oh, it’s from Lilia-san.]

As I was somehow feeling deeply moved by the fact that I was finally close to gathering all the stamps, a hummingbird from Lilia-san arrived.

It said that Lilia-san and the others had finished challenging Bacchus-san’s arena, and they were challenging the Five Generals in an opposite order from me…… After they challenged Bacchus-san, it seemed that they were now headed to Agni-san’s arena. She then ended it by questioning if we should meet there.

Her timing was actually just right, so I sent a reply that we were also on our way to Agni-san’s arena and decided to meet up with them there.

Since we were going to meet up there, I thought of walking faster, but I felt someone discreetly holding the hem of my clothes.

[……Eh? Anima?]

[Ahh, m- my apologies! I just……]

[No, it’s alright but…… Is something the matter?]

[N- No, ummm……]

When I asked her, tilting my head to the side, if there was something she wanted, Anima blushed and turned her head to the side, murmuring in a voice that was unusually soft for her.

[……I- I know that this is rude of me but…… errr…… ummm……]

[Unnn?]

[I- I’d like it if…… we could be “alone”…… for a little…… u- ummm….. M- My apologies! It’s nothing!]

[……………..]

It was a very unusual, no. Perhaps, this might be the first time since I met Anima…… that she had spoken out her small, modest selfishness.

She didn’t finish her words, but I still understood what Anima was asking for…… and to be honest, it made me happy.

That’s why, asking Anima to raise her head that was deeply bowed, I smiled as gently as I could and spoke.

[……I’m actually hungry from all the moving around I did earlier. I want to get something to eat. I’ll let Lilia-san and the others know that we’ll be a bit late, so can you go along with my selfishness?]

[Master…… Y- Yes! Gladly!]

[Well then, it seems like there’s food and drink stalls over there, so let’s go.]

[Yes! Ah, ummm…… Master.]

[Unnn?]

[……Thank you.]

Smiling at her modest words of thanks, I headed to the area lined with stalls together with Anima.

Dear Mom, Dad———– How should I say this…… Ozma-san is like a mature man and he seemed to be very dependable…… I’m really glad to have met him. On a different note, I will now go along with Anima’s small selfishness. No, I don’t really think…… I call that selfishness huh. That is…… Yes. The thing asked for by this girl, who desired nothing for herself, for the first time———- was a cute request.

Serious-senpai: [F- Fufufu, first place…… Yes, I’m the first place! The era demands me (seriousness)! It’s time for all those days of hard work to finally pay off…… From here on out, it’s finally the time for seriousness!]

? ? ? : [No, what the era demands is the misfortunate you, so it won’t be the time for seriousness any time soon.]

Serious-senpai: [So you have arrived, my arch-enemy ? ? ?…… However, you being my arch-enemy ends today! I’m in first place! You’re second! In other words, I’m better than you!!! Relish in the taste of the bitterness I have felt until now! Prepare yourself!!!]

? ? ? : [……Well, it’s not like the rankings have anything to do with your combat power though.]
