Chapter 29 (2/2)

「Don’t be like that. Just talk to her normally」 (Hind)

「Even if you talked like I am, they’d be able to hear just fine you know?」 (Tobi)

「I don’t know what you are trying to say here. That mask makes you look extremely suspicious to begin with. On the contrary, they’d be vigilant about you」 (Hind)

「Umu, like that you end up taking the initiative in the conversation. Vulgar, as expected of a filthy ninja」 (Yumir)

「So mean! Even though I was only trying to turn around the conversation because we were getting nowhere!?」 (Tobi)

「Fu, fufufu…ah, I’m sorry」

From that reaction, I could tell that this girl was the honest type.

The other girl by her side that I failed to notice, started to explain.

「I’m sorry. This girl is a knight…but she started admiring Yumir-san’s aggressive style after watching that video. We just found you by chance while we were walking around and blood rushed to her head thinking it was destiny」

「W-wait, Sai-chan!?」

「Ah, I’m called Cineraria. This girl is called Licoris. The one over here that looks sleepy is Siesta」 (Cineraria)

「Good evening…fuwahh」 (Siesta)

「I know this might be rude of us, but we have a request. It’s fine if it’s just for a little bit, I’d like Yumir-san to show her fighting style to Licoris but-」 (Cineraria)

「Sure!」 (Yumir)

「Really!? Is it really OK to give us an immediate reply!?」 (Licoris)

「T-Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!」 (Cineraria)

Due to the unforeseen reply, even the girl that had her eyes narrowed in sleepiness looked surprised.

She’s like this after all…just give up.

「You don’t mind, right? Hind」 (Yumir)

「Ah, go ahead」 (Hind)

「Hmm? You are not coming with us?」 (Yumir)

「To begin with, I was thinking about splitting up tonight so I could go sell that greatsword and craft some elven ears. Tobi, what do you plan to do?」 (Hind)

「I’m also interested in the trading BBS and the market. Since we have reached level cap, I’ll give preference to information gathering tonight. I’ll go with you, Hind-dono」 (Tobi)

「There you have it. Once you are done, send us a mail」 (Hind)

「Got it!」 (Yumir)

Yumir was the first one to stand up and start walking, the three of them bowed and thanked us.

Since the three of them seem to know their manners, I believe there’s nothing for me to worry about.

Immediately after the four of them tried to exit to the field…

「Ah, wait a moment. Who’s the healer in this party?」 (Hind)

「Fuwah…that would be me sir…」 (Siesta)

While yawning, the girl that looked sleepy raised her hand.

Due to me saying that, they all turned their heads and stood still, eh…was she called Siesta-chan?

Siesta-chan urged the rest of them to go ahead.

「Ah, go ahead first. I’ll catch up soon enough…probably. So, what did you want, senpai?」 (Siesta)

「I’ll give you some healing items. Mainly holy water」 (Hind)

「Eh? Why? …Ah, oh I get it. It’s true that I’m a balanced type Shinto priest and I’m unable to resurrect. However, is it OK? To receive a gift like this without giving anything in return」 (Siesta)

「It’s fine. If you end up being unable to resurrect them because of Yumir, the mood will turn sour…I believe it’ll place a burden on you, probably」 (Hind)

「Hnu. So Yumir-san is that type as expected…a wild boar?」 (Siesta)

「Right on the money. She relies on Hind-dono’s support after all…I believe a normal healer wouldn’t be able to support her properly」 (Tobi)

「I see…I have more of an interest in you than Yumir-san though…if it’s OK with you, can we exchange friend requests? Can we?」 (Siesta)

「Hmm? I don’t mind…you are quite peculiar」 (Hind)

「They do tell me that often…or maybe not…」 (Siesta)

After receiving the holy water and exchanging friend requests, Siesta-chan leisurely pursued the other three.

Is she really going to be able to catch up to them at that speed?

Oh well…but she sure was a girl that you couldn’t figure out what was was going through her head…

「…That’s no good, Hind-dono」 (Tobi)

「Ah? What are you talking about?」 (Hind)

「No matter how grown up she looks, that would be a crime! No matter how you look at her, she’s a middle schooler!」 (Tobi)

「What do you even mean? Even if she said she had interest in me, it was obvious that it was not the type of interest in the opposite sex. More importantly, where were you even looking at when you said that her growth was good? Isn’t because you have those indecent and perverted thoughts that girls avoid you?」 (Hind)

「…」 (Tobi)

「S-Sorry. I said too much. I’ll apologize so don’t cry silently like that!」 (Hind)

She didn’t exchange friend requests with Tobi…but that’s probably because she noticed Tobi staring at her chest that didn’t match her age.

They’ll feel uncomfortable if they notice you doing that so that’s no good, I even told him a long time ago.

The sense of distance between girls and Tsukane-kun is pretty bad! That was the kind of conversation I had with Saitou-san at some point.

That’s why I think he’s not popular even though he has a handsome face…it’s such a waste.
