「Here we, go. Is it alright like this?」
「Yeah. ……Sorry about that, thanks.」
「Please don’t mind it, Yashiro-kun.」
Bundling together my livingware starting with the bedding, I had Pretty Boy-kun help out in putting it on top of Silber’s back. He was a man of character that would let out the words 「I’ll help you out」 without me having to say anything.
It’s natural that he’d be popular being this.
「Kukeh」
「Damn it, getting all delighted and in high spirits like that.」
Putting the luggage on top of Silber took some time, but he cried a voice that sounded like he was in a good mood.
This little rascal, it looks like he doesn’t feel sorry for hanging me upside down and waving me around in the slightest.
「Yashiro-kun, what will you do from now on? If you have some time, won’t you meet with Akane and the others?」
That harem of Twin Tails-chan and the others huh. Even if you say that, I don’t really have any good memories in regards to Twin Tails-chan.
「Ah~…… But I guess it might be best if you don’t meet with Akane.」
When I was thinking of words to refuse him, Pretty Boy-kun wryly smiled while scratching his cheek.
What’s with that, that reaction…… I, I have a bad feeling about this……
「This was after Yashiro-kun had left but Akane was pretty worried about you. Saying various things like she had strongly said too much. ……Then, after we were introduced to Norn-san, the next time she meets you, she’ll give you punishment for making her worry! ……is what she raged on about. Probably, if you were to meet her now, you’d probably get hit with one or two shots.」
While smiling, Pretty Boy-kun said that.
Hey now, that isn’t the time for you to be smiling.
「That’s why……Let’s see, it’ll become an oral message to Akane and the others but is there anything that you want to convey to them?」
「Ah~, ……Tell them that I’m sorry for making them worry.」
It’s not like I have anything else I want to tell them.
「I got it.」
Nodding, Pretty Boy-kun held out his right hand.
「Hn? ……A handshake?」
「Yeah. During the time in Luxeria, we didn’t properly greet or see each other off, right? That’s why,」
Saying that, Pretty Boy-kun looked at me with eyes that could make one feel the strong will that was in them.
「Take care. ……Let’s meet again.」
He didn’t want to stop my journey, he sought a promise to meet again with me.
Not knowing that I was a Hero, he thought of me as a regular person with no Maryoku.
Normally, you’d probably tell someone “Stop doing such a dangerous thing”. That’s right, it’s dangerous.
This is another world. If you were to say how many times more dangerous it was, it would greatly exceed that of Japan.
Having many murderers and muggers, it was a world where it even had monsters appearing.
But, even though he know about all of that, he sent me words of blessing on my journey and said to definitely live and meet with him again.
……He really is a nice guy. I should also change my attitude otherwise it would be rude.
「Ou, see you later. ……U~m, Amagi-kun?」
「It’s fine to call me Kaito, Yashiro-kun.」
When I asked that while grabbing his hand, he replied while making a wry smile.
「In that case, you can just call me Yuu.」
「!……Got it. Yuu.」
Me and Pretty Boy-kun, no……Kaito, right here, for the first time, became not acquaintances that came together from the same world, but 『friends』.
