Good morning, I'm Tina.

　Today is the day of the hot spring trip that I promised Mr. Hurt-sama. I've already been excited since this morning──no, actually, since about noon yesterday, I can't stop being excited.

　Yesterday, during class, whenever I had free time, I would look at Mr. Hurt-sama.

　Yesterday is a misnomer, isn't it?
　I'm always watching you, Mr. Hult.

　Finally, the day of the trip is coming. I was excitedly getting dressed for the trip.

　Now, let's go wake up Mr. Hurt-sama!

　In order to enjoy this day, I slept away from Master Hurt yesterday for the first time in a long time.

　I missed him.

　But because of that, I'm looking forward to today's trip. By the way, yesterday, Yoko-san, Mai-san and Mei-san slept in their room like Hurt-sama told them to.

I'm sorry, Harut-sama, I have to go.

　I went into the room to wake up Master Hurt.

　Oh?

　I don't see Master Hurt in bed. Has he already gotten up and gone to the living room?

　...hmmm, what is this?

　There was a letter on the bedside table.

'Dear Tina.
　I have a date with you.
　I'll meet you there.
　Meet me at 8 o'clock at Fountain Square on Central Avenue.
　Halt.

　I was thrilled.

　A date ... yes, today's trip is a date.
　Meeting up with a date.

　One of the things I've always wanted to do is come true today.

　Master Halt seems to know how to please me.

　I look at my watch.
　It's 7:20.

　I've already changed my clothes and it's only a ten-minute ride to the Central Street from the mansion. I can make it in plenty of time, but I can't keep Mr. Hurt-sama waiting.

　More than anything, I want to see Harute-sama as soon as possible. After asking Yoko-san and the others about the mansion, I headed to Central Street.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Master Hurt, he's ready for you.
Tina, good morning.

　Mr. Hurt was in civilian clothes.
　The black vest he is wearing looks great on him. It's cool.

"I haven't seen Tina in her civilian clothes for a long time. You look cute in your civilian clothes too.
Oh, thank you!

　He said she's cute in her private clothes too (...)
　I can't stop my cheeks from loosening up.

Then, let's go.

　Saying that, Master Hurt took my hand in his. It's called a lover's bond. He continued to lead me on foot.

　We came to a main street where carriages and magic carts were passing by. My heart is beating more intensely than ever before just from walking hand in hand with Master Halt up to this point.

　Will I be okay for the whole day in this?

　Accompanied by Harut-sama, I approached the luxurious magic car parked on the main street.

　Um, could it be that this is how we're going to move today?

　It was a very nicely decorated, yet not too flashy and elegant magic car. It really looks like we're going to travel in this car. Harut-sama opened the door and escorted me to get in.

　''Gentleman!　Herr Harte, you are such a gentleman!

　I'm sorry, my dear fellow, I didn't mean to interrupt.
　I didn't mean to be distracted.

　I'm Tina Halibel.

　I'm Tina Haribel. I'm the magician who once guided a brave man and defeated the Demon King together. What are you going to do to get carried away with something like this?

　Be cool, be cool!

　I got into the magic car. Master Hurt leads me to sit beside him.

'How is it comfortable?　I've got the best magic car in town today. It's my first date with Tina.

　Saying that, Halt-sama smiled smugly.

　Harut-sama!

　What's that smile?
　It's too nice!

　Did you get the best magic car in the school for today's date?

　I would be happy to ride in any raggedy carriage with you, though, if Master Hurt is with you.

　But I'm really glad that you care for me because it's a date.

　Now you're coming to finish me off, aren't you?

　Rest assured.
　My body and mind already belong to Master Hult.


　Afterwards, I talked with Hurt-sama a lot.

　We talked about the school and the adventures we had with the brave men of the past.

　It seems that Harut-sama is interested in adventure.

　Since Harut-sama is the son of Count-sama, he will be safe for life without any adventures. However, it seems that the reincarnated people yearn for adventure in another world.

　Just like the (...) people of (..).

　........oops, I shouldn't.
　For now, let's enjoy your date with Mr. Hurt.


　I'm sorry.

　After a while, we arrived at a small village.

　The hot spring is located in the forest a little ways from here, in a place known to everyone. By the way, the inhabitants of the village never go near the forest because there are demons of level 80 or so in this forest.

　The village is protected by a ward to prevent forest monsters from attacking the village. That's why people can live in this village.

　By the way, it doesn't matter how many level 80 demons are in a group, they are not enemies to Mr. Hurt and I. So we headed to the hot spring.

　As expected, we can't go to the forest with the magic car, so we have to stay in this village. Harut-sama was talking about something with the driver of the magic car.

　Is he telling them the time to return?
　

　Finally, we head to the hot springs. I was stretching myself lightly to see if I might fight a demon, and then...

It's a date?　I wouldn't let Tina fight her.

　With that, Master Hurt released his magic power.

''Firelance!''

　The Knight of Fire appeared before us.

　It's still a great magical power.
　And a smooth movement.
　How many magic techniques are incorporated into it?

　Maybe even I wouldn't be able to win.

　If such a thing (flame knight) is on my side, it's beyond reliable.

''I hunted the demons yesterday, but there might be some that I missed, so this guy is insurance.

　I'll put it out of my mind, but this forest doesn't allow adventurers with a rank of B or lower to enter.

　They say that they have hunted almost all those forest monsters.

　That's all I can say.

　But now we can head to the hot springs without being attacked by the demons. I'm glad to hear that my clothes, which Harut-sama praised, won't get dirty.

"Tina, shall we go?
Yes!

　I took the hand that Master Hurt offered me and we began to walk together.
