Isekai ni kanaderu densetsu ~toki wo tomeru mono~ Chapter 14 (1/2)

Sou and Lexa set forth towards the town of Dire, during the journey, Lexa has been constantly talking to Sou.

「Sou, how old are you?」(Lexa)

「I’m only 16.」(Sou)

「Oh, you’re older than me by just a year.」(Lexa)

「So, Lexa is only 15.」(Sou)

Well, I already know that. I definitely can’t say「In fact, I looked at your status, Lexa」.Particularly, it can’t be said to women in general.

「Surprised? You think I’m older judging from my appeal, right?」(Lexa)

「Who said that you look older with your appeal? Rather, I think you look younger.」(Sou)

「W-, wha! Are you saying that I’m still a child?」(Lexa)

「It’s not like that. Wouldn’t anyone wants to appear younger, particularly the girls?」(Sou)

「I’m already a grown-up!」(Lexa)

「Yes, yes.」(Sou)

It’s difficult to talk to Lexa about appeal. My impression wouldn’t change even after around 5 years. Honestly, the way you act like a grown-up is adorable!

「What! You’re a grown-up. For one thing, act like a guy, would you?」(Lexa)

「Use honorifics when you speak to me from now on.」(Sou)

「I won’t use it! Going on a journey without bringing anything wasn’t something a guy would do!」(Lexa)

「A fair point.」(Sou)

It’s a little painful being poked in that spot. Gununu……I can’t retort at all. Not bad, Lexa!

「Hmph, it’s good that you understand.」(Lexa)

「I’m carrying the backpack as an apology but you can’t bring out that topic again in the future.」(Sou)

「A-, As for the backpack, I’m thankful!」(Lexa)

「Because you’re excited, did you packed so many unnecessary things? This is too heavy and would impede our journey.」(Sou)

「Th-, there’s no helping it! It’s hard for a girl to travel alone!」(Lexa)

「But, we’re travelling together now.」(Sou)

However, travelling alone was dangerous for Lexa’s level, right? The fact showed when this fool got surrounded by the goblins. Perhaps, she’d have an injury or two if I didn’t pa.s.sed by her. Somehow, I began to worry when we part in the town of Dire. Our relations.h.i.+p was forged one step at a time with great pains to be able talk like this, isn’t there a way for us to be together in there for awhile?……

「Y-, Yeah! T-, Together…… (Just the two of us)」(Lexa)

「It’s because it’s dangerous for Lexa to travel alone.」(Sou)

What’s that……? She’s mumbling so I didn’t heard the last part. I wonder if Lexa’s level went up to 3 because of her being an adventurer around the Royal Capital until now. When I get used to it, I’ll make the town of Dire as a foothold.

「What do you mean!? I’m already a full-fledged adventurer!」(Lexa)

「Says the one who had a hard time dealing with a goblin?」(Sou)

「Ugh, that’s because it’s 1 versus 3……」(Lexa)

「A full-fledged adventurer doesn’t make any excuse.」(Sou)

「T-, That’s……」(Lexa)

Whoa, Lexa suddenly came into a halt, she’s trembling from head to toe making a ‘pururu’ sound. However, she won’t be able to grow up if I spoiled her here. This is an important matter regarding life. That’s the disadvantage of being alone because your opponents wouldn’t just stand by. It can also be said to me but……

「……」(Sou)

「……」(Lexa)

「……Hey. I said something a little excess――」(Sou)

「Yes! Why didn’t I think of it! I’m such an idiot!」(Lexa)

Lexa’s trembling stopped and I suddenly felt sorry, when I was about to say something to console her, it was interrupted halfway by Lexa’s voice. Oh, this girl didn’t reflect at all. Lexa raised her face with a look of fulfillment……

「What’s it so suddenly?」(Sou)

「Sou! Let’s form a party!」(Lexa)

「Party?」(Sou)

「That’s right! Party! There’s no problem for us to be together and with that, I don’t need to part with you!」(Lexa)

「Huh?」(Sou)

「Oh……」(Lexa)

Lexa’s face became red and hurriedly cover it up with a desperate excuse「What I said just now……forget it! I-, It’s just a lie! S-, Surprised?」. Super cute……what a cute creature! You hate to part with me that much~. Perhaps, I guess it’s actually lonely being an adventurer alone. After all, I’m going to be like an oniichan to Lexa.
