v1c10 (2/2)

This is Snow’s daily life nowadays.

Morning, part time work infusing magic in magic stones.

Afternoon, magician’s practice, revolver practice—something like that.

Snow was already at the same level as me when it comes to revolver reloading, quick draw, and firing precision.

She also has talent as a magician.

According to Elle-sensei, who teaches magician’s basic cla.s.ses, Snow has very good memory.

She unmistakably has apt.i.tude to be a B+ rank magician to begin with.

Rather than jealousy, the feelings of wanting to congratulate her were overwhelmingly stronger when I heard that.

Because Snow is my closest childhood friend, I felt happy for her being praised as if it was intended for myself.

Also, her physical growth recently is amazing.

When she clung to me I felt C-cup b.r.e.a.s.t.s through her s.h.i.+rt.

She is also still in the middle of growing, this time next year I am sure she will have gone over D cup.

To the point where I am worried about where my eyes are pointing.

Perhaps because she was one of the white wolf tribe of the northern continent, she was weak in summer.

Because of that her clothes were rough.

Pure white skin yet healthy b.u.t.tocks, smooth sides without even 1 strand of hair growing from it, a small navel slightly moistened with sweat, and springy b.r.e.a.s.t.s peek out from underneath her s.h.i.+rt!

I stole glances at her without her noticing many times over!

I realized that my body became hot from Snow clinging on to me.

The desire to not only pat her head, but also to touch every corner of her tender body became stronger in me.

But she was still 8 years old.

My own body is the same age as her, but there is a 35 year old adult inside.

I don’t intend to lose to my desires and hurt my precious childhood friend.

Yes lolita! No ecchi! I am a gentleman so I absolutely won’t do anything that would hurt Snow! …… I surely won’t! I probably won’t.

Strengthening my reason, I called out to her to get some distance.

“W, well then, let’s start practice. Hey, Snow let go.”

“I want to hug harder, just a little more.”

“Afuu~!”

She put more strength into her arms.

The feeling of Snow’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s became stronger.

Her hips, inversely, drew back.

I cursed this young 8 year old body.

I started becoming h.o.r.n.y.

I want to push her down right now and do this and that—but I came to my senses and resisted the feelings that were about to explode.

We’re still 8 years old, it’s still too early no matter what anyone thinks, the stimulus was too strong.

I pulled myself apart from Snow while feeling regret for separating from the feeling of those b.r.e.a.s.t.s from the bottom of my heart.

“Th, that should be enough, no? If we cling like this any further we’ll have no time for practice”

“Lute-kun is stingy.”

“Yeah yeah, stingy is fine. Here, the gunbelt. Put the cylinder in yourself.”

I handed the gunbelt and revolver over to Snow.

She fastened the belt and held the revolver with experienced hands.

She pushed the cylinder out, and took 6 9×29.5mmR rounds from a wooden box.

Raising her body abilities with body strengthening, she fired at the human shapes on the cliffs.

We began practice.

When it became evening I finished cleaning up

While Snow goes besides the river bank she asks.

Lute-kun what will you do when you become 10.

In this world there is no concept of birthday; if one becomes 15 they will generally be treated as an adult.

10-year’s old is an important time to decide one’s career.

Children of the upper cla.s.ses are different, but the common folk children become merchants’ apprentices, craftsmen’s students, etc. or enroll in school if the house has the leisure to do so.

Inside the orphanage including Snow and me there are 4 persons at the same age

Snow is going to enter a magic school.

The two girls who are Snow’s friends wish to be maid apprentices and took up a recruitment letter from the town’s bulletin board.

They sent a letter and are waiting for a answer.

In this situation only I’m unable to chose a career.

Probably, she is worried as a childhood friend.

“As I thought, you’re going to Malton-san’s place and run a toy store?”

“No, that’s not it.”

In reality, the discussion comes repeatedly whether or not to learn how to become a merchant from Malton, but I refuse it entirely.

If I don’t have a goal, I think using the knowledge of my previous life and selling toys wouldn’t be bad.

But I had already decided on a lifestyle.

I didn’t intend to keep it a secret, but I haven’t told this to Snow or Elle-sensei.

This is a good chance so I’ll tell her.

I wanted Snow to know.

“I was thinking of going on a journey when I turn 10. Then… If I can, I want to help people in trouble or in need of help.”

“Why do you want to do that?”

Atonement for the acquaintance that was cornered to suicide in my previous life… of course I can’t say that.

It hurts to lie, but this is what I said.

“Last year I helped Snow right? That time, I felt that helping others is something worth doing.”

“If that’s so, then Snow will go on a journey with Lute-kun!”

I thought Snow would say something like that.

I gave her the lines that I’ve prepared for this.

“Snow will go to school when you turn 10, right? Then you will become a splendid magician and go to the north continent to look for your parents, that was your dream, right?”

“If I’m with Lute-kun, I can go to the north continent the way I am now.”

Certainly, if Snow holds an AK-47, her fighting power would be doubled.

It wouldn’t be difficult to face ordinary monsters and enemies.

But Snow has talent to become a magician.

Furthermore, Elle-sensei acknowledged that she’ll “certainly become B+ rank”.

If by any chance before that….

I don’t intend to crush that talent of hers.

I let out my honest feelings to Snow.

“I would be happy to be together with Snow. But, Snow has talent to become a magician. I don’t want to be with Snow so much as to eat away Snow’s talent. I don’t want to become a burden for Snow.”

“Lute-kun……”

Snow wiped her rising tears with her finger.

She stopped her legs and released her hands, then turned around to face me.

Miraculously, that place is exactly where I saved her from goblins.

Snow’s skin became red down to her neck, and not just because of the setting sun’s light.

Her eyes are not filled with sadness, but with hot emotions.

Snow clasped her hands together on her chest, mustering courage, she spoke out.

“There is something…… I’ve always wanted to tell Lute-kun.”

At the riverside where the sun sets.

A trembling, red-faced childhood friend, staring straight ahead.

I’m not a thick-headed protagonist of some manga or light novel, I’m already aware of Snow’s feelings.

The reason I didn’t say anything is because she’s still an 8 year old child.

But now, it seems like that Snow is going to let out her feelings.

8 years after I was born.

If you add the memories of my previous life, 35 years.

This is the first time a girl confessed to me.

Of course, the answer had already been decided. It’s ‘Yes!’.

With the setting sun at her back, Snow mustered her courage with all her might.

Putting in her whole feelings, she exclaimed loudly.

“Snow…… Please make Snow into Lute-kun’s ‘s.e.x slave!’.”

“——Huuuwwwwhhhaaaattttt!!!?”

Receiving the most unexpected of unexpected proposals, I unintentionally let out a yell that didn’t lose to Snow’s.

Snow’s idiot kid levels had sped up faster than I’d imagined.
