108 Episode 105: Nia in plain clothes




 When I returned to Dillinden from the sandy beach where the duel took place, I

'I believe you said there was a commercial district on the west side, with lots of shops and stalls.
 Recalling the information Uzuki had told me, I was first making plans for the future near the castle gate.

 This place is one of the few places I know, or maybe I have a subtle connection to it--.

''This is the first time I've seen it in the light, but it was a really big and sturdy castle gate. I'm glad I didn't break it down last night in a reckless manner...
 I was about to break it down and enter.

 When I was looking around curiously like a lobsterman - perhaps because this gate is also a landmark - there were merchants and residents who seemed to be used to it, and they were looking around as much as I was. There were people everywhere who were looking around.

After such a fierce battle last night, everyone is in good spirits since this morning.
 This wasn't for anyone to hear, it was just my impressions, or rather, my own thoughts.

'We all have our daily lives. Ten years and one day. Every new morning is a new breakfast.

 As if answering my mutterings, he called out to me from behind.

 By the way, the perception system S-class cheat "Dragon's Eye" doesn't basically respond automatically to opponents who don't have harmful or hostile intentions.
 Utterly, even though it's an S-class cheat, it's subtly stingy.
 Aside from that.

"Hey, Seya. It's a nice surprise to see you here.

 The owner of the voice that was ahead of her turned around was a tall woman with great style.

 She was dressed in a mini-skirt that showed off her long legs like a woman doctor on the drama "Dr. X" who never fails to make mistakes.
 The simple but stylish outfit was stylishly dressed in a cool, sometimes cute way like a supermodel, and it gave the impression of a mature, capable woman.

 The combination of a tall woman and a mini-skirt looks great.
 And her healthy thighs, not too thin and not too thick, are the ultimate in femininity.
 Art is an aesthetic entity that strikes reason and appeals directly to instinct.

 In other words--.

'Ouch, my gaze is drawn to your tempting thighs..........

 I couldn't help but notice that this is now a biological instinct!
 Because the ultra-sensitive lines of the mini-skirt just can't help but tempt my gaze!

 If I squat down, I'm pretty sure I could see into that.
 Pretend you dropped the money and squat down?

 ........What?
 No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I was improvising!
 And yes!
 Now, let's just leave aside my preferences and s*xuality and all that stuff!

"...well, who are you? -- and, oh, it was Nia?
'Geez, Seya is one hell of a crying woman, forgetting to look at the face of the man who lived and died just a few hours ago, Atai.

'Seriously, I'm sorry. It was totally different from the usual white and silver armor, and the atmosphere was a different person. Yes, but your personal clothes also look great on you. It looks super good on you to the point where you can't help but gawk at it.

Oh, yeah? Then it was good. I took the break I finally got, and I went out for a change of scenery. Yeah, Seya gave me a compliment, and it wasn't a bad choice.

'What, you'd be embarrassed if you said that with such a seriously happy face...'
You're embarrassed to say it's Atai, so I guess it's mutual.

Oh, well...
'Yeah...'

 
 How can relationships change so much before and after a confession?

 What's more.
 Naiya, who's just a pretty lady, has her cheeks dyed and looks up at you like that.

 And the first time I saw her in private clothes, she looked great.
 It's a bit of a gap builder, and it's just too cute to be true, let's face it, common sense!

Speaking of which, what's Sayre doing here? From the way you were looking around, are you a tourist?
'Yeah, something like that. I just wanted to look around the city for a bit and buy some stuff.

Sightseeing and shopping. Would you like to come with me to the store? I'm not as good as the residents here, but I can at least give you a quick tour of the place, right? And if you're going to shop, I know some of the stores.
 Normally I wouldn't have expected that to happen.

What--? Oh, no, it's just, I mean, it's not like I'm going to be able to ask Nia to do the shopping for me...
 I'm a bit of a slumbering mess.

''.........Hmm. That unnaturally exaggerated reaction........ I don't want Atai to know too much about the purchase......... So, now, is it a present for the girl - or is it a present for Uzushi?

Buh-uh-uh!
 It was a surprise.

'How scary is that detective thing?
 I mean, is my reaction that obvious?

What, that's not a particularly great theory. Isn't it a given that when a man is hiding something from a woman, it's usually because he's thinking about another woman?
Well, that's just the way it is...

 Well, it must be a universal truth, because I was like that.
 It's the kind of subtlety between men and women that is extremely difficult for a virgin to understand.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference. Surprisingly, you're not too bright about socializing with the opposite s*x. But the hard-headedness is also a high point in Atay's eyes! Utterly and truly, Sayre is a good man who makes women cry!

'Oh, yeah? Thank you.
 Why did I get a compliment for not being popular?
 You just don't know anything about the world, do you?
 Well, a beautiful woman like Niall complimented me, and I don't feel bad about it at all.

So, about that earlier. I don't have a problem with you choosing a gift for Uzuru. Uzuki is a very nice boy.

Is that...? But I wouldn't feel comfortable asking another girl to pick out a gift for a girl...
 It's the work of a scumbag man, no matter how you look at it from the 360 degrees around the entire perimeter.

And at least for that time, you and Atai are on a date. That's why. You can walk around with me, if you're happy with Thayer. After all, I've been working hard since yesterday. I'm a bit tired, as you can imagine, and I need a break.

 Naiya showed a look of exhaustion as expected.

''You said you were going to spearhead the recovery after defeating the Shin-En-Dragon, but I didn't think it was going to be all night long after that....... Great people must be really hard work. Yeah, as long as it's okay with Nia, I don't mind. If that's the way you want to relax, I'd be happy to help you relax.

Okay, that's it. Well, I suppose we could go shopping, take a break, go on a date, have some fun--
 I said and Niall snickered happily.

'Well, I'm going on another date........ Even though it's only the fifth day we've been over here........ Huh, I'll say it again and again, but I dare to say it again. This other world is for me after all........!

 And it's a date with an attractive sister.

 Nice, yes!
 I think it's very good!
