All right, let's go, Mae.

　After having a good time with Lady Allen and the others, Sister Ferris was very considerate and finished May's work earlier than usual. They thanked Sister Ferris for her kindness and left the royal palace together.

'So, where are we going, Roy?'

'Oh, first we'll have a quick bite to eat somewhere, and then we'll look around the city. Then I want to look around the city and get out of King's Landing for a bit in the evening or so. Is that alright?

　May nodded at my words. Good, first let's eat. I'm not going to my favorite diner, but to a slightly more fashionable restaurant.

　This is the place I heard about from an attendant working at the palace. It seems to be a popular restaurant among women, and seems to be a rival to Koryu-Tei. I apologize to Koryu-Tei, my favorite restaurant, but I'll use this one for today.

　As we entered, a female staff came and showed us to our seats. Wow, looking closely, it's the royal maids' holiday or something. I pretended not to know.

　Then we ordered our food. I had a set meal with a lot of meat and Mei had a salad set. There are a lot of beautiful people around me, so I've been paying attention to these things.

　But unfortunately, May isn't the beautiful type, she's the pretty type. I feel like she's different from the beautiful sisters around her.

''I was going to come here, but I can't help but tell you to Koryu-Tei, which is close by.

'Yeah, I know that. Besides, my sister Pricia is the manager there.

　That shop is because Hilde-san brings rare ingredients from all over the continent. It seems there are some ingredients that can only be eaten in this royal capital and Nanor's shop.

　Sometimes those are served as a set meal, and everyone eats them without even realizing it.

　The reason why the price is the same as the price of a normal set meal is because Hilde isn't too obsessed with money. He just wants to be able to pay his employees' salaries. Well, even so, the sales are in the black.

　And while I was eating with May, some of her acquaintance's maids came glancing at me. Hey, don't look at me. You must be embarrassed.

　I'm not sure if Mei has noticed them or not, but she's smiling at them. I know exactly how you feel.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.　They're looking at me like I'm crazy.

You're curious. You're curious about the fact that May and I are dating.

'......　Day....!

　 I'm sure he's finally aware of what I've said, and his face is blushing. I'm happy to see her blushing and embarrassed face, but I'm sad that she didn't realize it until now.

　Even so, the fact that they don't ask me to leave means that May has also accepted me for that. Good, let's keep going.

　After finishing lunch, Mei and I wander around the city. This town has really come to life in the past three years.

'What are you scurrying around for?'

　I was looking around like that, and May looks up at me as if to peer at me. Cute.

'No, I just thought this town has gotten pretty big,'

　

'Hmmm, totally Roy sounds like a grandpa. We're not 14 years old yet.

'Yes, but. I've known this city since the war with Regalia ended.

Well. Well, I don't know. But you still have to stop talking like an old man. We're still going to have to work for you.

　May walks in front of me, giggling and laughing. I want you to walk with me for the rest of your long life. I'm about to say something like that, but I hold back.

　It's not the right time to say it, you know. You'll have to hold out for the night.

　Then I'll go to the shops with May. Mei doesn't have a lot of greed, you know. I asked her if there was anything she wanted, and she said there wasn't.

　I'm just enjoying looking around like this. I've never been in need of anything, either.

　When I was enjoying looking around, I noticed that it was evening. It's a good time to go out.

"May, I think we should go outside now, okay?

Hmm?　Yeah, good.

　Good. I'm going to keep going to the gate and borrow the horse I've been asking for. I've learned to ride my horse to some extent in the last three years. If we ride both of us on this horse, we should be able to get there in about an hour.

'May, put your hands around my waist so I don't fall off.

Yeah, okay.

　I give May a hand and let her ride behind me. May gets on behind me, and she puts her hands around my waist and squeezes me. Ugh, I feel something stunted but soft against my back.

'Yeah, let's go then.'

Yeah!

　All right, let's go!

　◇ ◇ ◇.

　An hour and a half later.

What's here?

Yeah, deep in the woods.

　We finally arrived after a little over an hour of riding our horses from King's Landing. The sun will be going down completely soon. I get off my horse and hold my magic lantern.

　May is a little scared, but she follows beside me, squeezing the hem of my clothes. I've confirmed that there are no strong demons here. Even if there are demons, they are probably goblins or orcs. If that's the case, you can use the small warding device of the magic tool to get rid of it.

　And then May and I proceeded through the forest. The footing is a little lousy, but the moonlight shines through the trees, so it's not completely invisible. There's also a lantern.

　We walked for 30 minutes in the forest. Finally, the trees disappear and we come to an open space. There's

Wow, it's beautiful!

　May starts to run excitedly. It wouldn't help, either. Because the place I brought her to was like a jewel, full of colorful flowers and surrounded by luminescent insects, bugs that make their bodies glow.
