Chapter 46 – The smell of a memorable day from the other world’s marketplace

Even when I asked Marina if she had any place that she wanted to go, all she said was, “Marina is just a slave. So wherever that my liege wishes to go is fine with me.”

Eventually, I ended up bringing her to the weapons shops and the second-hand shops. It was certainly not a sweet date one might have in mind, but seeing that Marina seemed to be happy regardless, I just let it be.

As I thought, a smile really is the best makeup a girl can wear. It would be satisfying enough just to see an elf-chan, or to be more precise, a dark elf-chan, smiling. Just looking at her smile would literally make my food taste good. Even 5 cups would be of no problem to me!

In the afternoon, we went to a food stall opened by a known eatery at the corner of the market to have their yakiniku-like speciality dish. It was kind of salty, but the beef ribs look alike, and the meat was thick and soft, so it was tasty. Not to mention, being able to see Marina’s smile also added to the flavouring, further enhancing the taste to me. After the meal, I brought up the question from earlier as we had tea while we relaxed.

“This morning Diana had mentioned something about ‘today being a special day’. Does Marina know what she meant by that?” [Jirou]

“Eh!? Y-Yes. …..I knew what she meant.” [Marina]

I guess she hadn’t expected me to ask her that. She looked surprised at my question initially, but she replied in a seemingly serious manner.

Erm, is it a super important special day that mustn’t be forgotten? I had first thought that it might be the other world’s national day, but that couldn’t be it since they should know that I don’t know anything about this world. To begin with, I had already told them that I am not from this world, so they should understand that my ignorance about this world is something that couldn’t be helped.

In other words, it must be something else. What is it…?

“Hmm. If Marina also knows it then…. Ah….is it your birthday or something? Come to think of it, I haven’t enquired you two about it before. This won’t do. Alright, I’ll buy you a present immediately.” [Jirou]

“Ah, no, it’s not my birthday.” [Marina]

“Is that so?….Then, what is it?” [Jirou]

Umm? If it is not birthday then…nothing else came to mind at all.

Come to think of it, I did recall them saying that those from the Turk tribe are not loved by the spirits.

“So how is this memorable day related to the Great Spirit then?” [Jirou]

“Sniff, I…. I-I received two guidance at once for the first time~~!” [Marina]

Marina suddenly burst into tears, although it seemed that they were tears of joy. It was the first time I had seen someone crying joyously.

Even Sh.e.l.lo-san was literally dancing for joy when he accomplished his guidance the last time. It would seem that the spirit guidance is something that is really important for the people in this world. This was especially true for Marina. Considering that it was her very first guidance, her heart must have been filled with even deeper emotion than most people.
