Chapter 29 (2/2)

The fact that there were only two of us were taken for granted before this.

But now that we say it out loud, there are a bit of awkwardness to it.

With a face full of expectation, Arisa turned to me.

“Then Ed…how about you go out with me today?”

Arisa's face wavered to her expectation.

(It's like…a date.)

I felt a bit embarra.s.sed when I thought of that, but I want to treasure the time I have with this girl. I would greatly welcome her invitation.

“…It's been a while, so let's enjoy today with just the two of us, Arisa.”

Hearing my answer, Arisa's face lights up with a smile.

“Now that it's decided, let's go, Ed!”

Arisa hugged my arm tightly.

“Yeah, let's take it easy today.”

I walked around with Arisa in tow.

After that, Arisa and I walked to various places in the town.

We looked at clothes for Arisa, or bought some sweets at some stalls.

Of all clothes that Arisa tried on in the clothing store, she really looked good in every one of them.

I mean, she is a beautiful girl after all. I would say that clothes almost doesn't matter to her.

I also thought that the shopkeeper's sense is good as well though.

Of those clothes I told her that she looks good in, she bought most of them.

What a sorceress she is.

Her social position notwithstanding, she's very rich.

We head for the weapons shop.

As I would expect from the town ruled by that brawny old man, there is an actual weapons store here.

The weapons store had swords, knives, hammers and spears lined up.

Because my telekinesis from my Spatial Magic allows me to use weapons, time would pa.s.s by quickly as I thought about how to use these weapons.

On the other hand, Arisa was listening to me happily.

The time we spent was so much fun.

After that, we went to an antique store.

There, we found a skull of a monster I've never seen before and a mysterious crystal. After that there were a broken knife and a reading material that looked like a scroll.

“There's a lot of things here, huh?”

“If you search for it, maybe you can find a good bargain.”

We searched through in the building that feels a bit ancient.

After looking around the store,

“Hm, what's this…?”

I found a pendant with a purple stone that looked similar to the pendant embedded with fire-attribute mana stone that I have.

It's different from mine; I don't think the stone embedded is a mana stone, but its design was similar to the one Arisa made and gave to me.

I hid it from Arisa and secretly bought it.

The sun gradually starts to set.

We were resting in a park as we saw the sun sinking.

“Haa—, today was fun. Thank you, Ed!”

Arisa stretched her arms and showed me a smile.

“Then I'm glad.”

I thought of giving her a present as I looked at her.

“By the way, Arisa, can you please close your eyes for a bit?”

“What is it? I don't mind.”

Arisa looked slightly curious at my words.

I put the pendant I bought earlier around Arisa's neck.

At that time, Arisa's long eyelashes twitched.

“You can open them now.”

After I said that, Arisa opened her eyes and noticed the glistening pendant on her neck.

“Ed, this is…”

“It's my present for you. It's our first date, right?”

I said that jokingly, but instead of being happy,

—drip, drip.

Arisa's skirt gets wet.

“Arisa?”

Tears flowed down from Arisa's eyes silently.

“I-I'm sorry. Did you not want it?”

I was surprised seeing her unexpected response.

But Arisa shook her head and denied that.

“That's not it, Ed,”

As Arisa lifts her face, I noticed.

—Even as she cried, she was smiling.

“Thank you, Ed. I'll treasure this.”

Arisa gripped the pendant as if it's important to her.

“…Yeah, I'll be glad if you could.”

I'm relieved that she's happy.

I was satisfied with that.

—BZZZZ.

At that time, Arisa's pocket on her clothes vibrated.

It was her handheld magical communication device. Basically it's a handphone……I don't think I should just say it as it is.

Anyways, Arisa looked at it and the color of her face changed.

“What happened, Arisa?”

“Ellie is in danger…!”

Arisa suddenly stood up from the bench vigorously.

“—I'll go to the the mansion first! You should come quickly too, Ed!”

Arisa conjured a ma.s.s of ice on her feet, and she instantly kicked off and flies through the sky.

Afterwards she creates more ice below her feet and headed towards the mansion, sliding in high speed.

“……what happened?”

I rushed towards the mansion after Arisa who disappeared from sight in no time at all while still dumbfounded.
