V1C26 (1/2)

(026) Let’s go to the intermediate labyrinth for a little bit

Translator: Tseirp

Morning came in the blink of an eye. Morning came because morning came. (TL: It’s most likely a play on words or a pun but I couldn’t really be sure what the meaning was.)

Haru and I had sweat a lot since we were clinging on to each other so we wiped our sweat with a towel before heading to the dining room.

Breakfast was already prepared and the 4 of us gathered to eat.

With the 4 of us gathered, breakfast was bread and milk.

It was, however … If I didn’t move my body I would recall what happened yesterday and become embarrassed.

There’s no helping it. It’s my first step climbing up the stairs to adulthood, yup. I won’t be able to handle it as well as I thought.

Similarly, Haru’s gaze was also slightly lowered.

And, Norn was the one who was the most embarrassed and Margaret-san was for some reason eating with a grin.

“Hey, Ichi-kun, you know, the walls of my boarding house are quite thin.”

I could guess after listening to that single sentence from Margaret-san.

They heard everything … Margaret-san, Norn as well.

Uwa, so embarrassing … Next time, I must seriously consider the time and place.

“You can’t embarrass girls so much. If it’s alright with you, I’ll attentively teach Ichi-kun in great detail before you depart …”

“We won’t be able to make it!”

I’m begging you, please don’t use such an amorous stare. I don’t want to wake up to that.

Norn sent me a lifeboat when I was in trouble.

“That’s right Margaret-san, Oniisan already has Haru as his lover. If he didn’t, then I also would have …”

Norn mumbled and grumbled as she began drinking her milk.

It was embarrassing but also a seriously enjoyable meal.

“So Ichi-kun, what do you intend to do now?”

“For the time being, I plan to dive into the Intermediate Labyrinth in the morning and visit the Adventurers Guild after lunch to sell items for travelling money.”

“The Adventurers Guild huh … don’t do anything reckless.”

” … Yes.”

Margaret-san chided with a smile and I nodded with a wry smile.

Until the end, I still did not have the feeling that I could rival Margaret-san.

Even if my growth cheat became stronger, even if I acquire the strength to defeat the demon lord, people who stand above me will most likely still appear in the future. Actually, I feel sorry for leaving Miri alone in Japan.

In addition, I feel that meeting such people would cause me to experience the true meaning of growth.

“Then, I’ll deliver yesterday’s laundry and the bento by the time the carriage is ready.”

“Thank you for taking care of me until the end.”

“It’s fine, this is all that I am capable of helping with.”

Margaret-san winked at me said that he had something to prepare and left.

Looks like the shop would be temporarily closed today.

We cleaned up the table and headed for the labyrinth that intermediate users head for.

Haru also changed into her combat gear in her own room.

5 minutes later, Haru entered my room after finish changing clothes.

“How is it?”

Upon hearing her ask, I saw Haru’s clothes. I don’t know why the gear was made as a skirt, but it was shorter than her usual skirt that was about knee-length and in exchange, the socks were lengthened. Apparently it was made of a special fabric so it is resilient to damage.

“It suits you extremely well.”

“Thank you.”

“However, if it’s that short … erm, it looks like your underwear can be seen.”

“It’s alright because I’m wearing bloomers under it.”

Haru said and she tucked her skirt up.

Eeeeh, it’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing … but, why does this world have bloomers?

I asked and apparently the lost people who came into this world made it out of interest and it can now be found in the clothes shop of this world.

The Japanese people are really doing whatever they want huh.
