Even more so, there's no point in worrying about these clothes here. It will take you at least a month to get to Magic City Sharia no matter how fast you hurry."
"..."
"Rather than clothes, make sure you properly clean yourself up before you meet. Take a bath, brush your hair properly, those sorts of things, and... um... it's obvious a woman who just smells like sweat will be hated."
"Rudeus never once made a disgusted face even when we spent time together after sweating."
"Well, it's not as if I can't understand that to some extent, it's something between you and your partner right?"
"Instead, he seemed to be rather happy to smell the scent from my sweat soaked underwear."
"Isn't he just a pervert!"
Eris showed a bit of an offended face in response to those words.
"Rudeus isn't a pervert; he's just a bit ecchi."
"Though, to want to smell your scent? No matter how you look at it, he's a pervert!"
"..."
After hearing that Eris raised her arm and started sniffing around her armpit.
However, all she could smell were freshly worn clothes and the smell of soap.
She had just gotten out of the bath before starting to travel.
"He's not...a pervert."
"Well, maybe I said a bit too much just now."
"..."
The two of them went silent after that.
Their hair was blowing in the freezing wind caused by this cold weather.
"Ghyslaine is rather late."
"She might be having trouble deciding which horse to pick."
"That could be it."
Eris nodded to Nina's words.
"Come to think of it, I have heard a few rumors about your boyfriend."
"What kind?"
"If you see Rudeus Greyrat, your eyes will jump out of their sockets."
"It's quite possible if it's Rudeus!"
"Also, that he likes girls with small chests."
While saying that, Nina looked at Eris.
Eris as well took a look down at herself.
There was a rather voluptuous chest that had been well trained as a swordsman.
"It's alright."
Even though she said that, Eris's face was a bit blue.
"Then, there are more rumors that could be heard all around such as clearing some sort of legendary labyrinth, wiping out an immortal demon lord, and fighting a battle against one of the seven major world powers."
"That's right, as expected of Rudeus after all. It's got to be like that."
Eris's face turned a light shade of red.
She was happy to hear Rudeus had been giving it his all just like her.
"He sounds like quite the monster. Normally, most of these would be pretty unbelievable."
"Right?"
Eris stuck out her chest, broadened her lips into a smile, and let out a breath from her nose.
"Though, I have heard a bit of a weird rumor as well."
"What kind?"
"Rudeus Greyrat is a major playboy, and he's always wandering around with a different woman near him."
Eris's smile stiffened up.
"Somehow, it kind of feels like he's so strong that he's allowed to do whatever he likes?"
"..."
"Hey, Eris, just saying this as example, but could it be that..."
Nina said it with a small voice.
"You've been forgotten?"
Nina moved her left hand with high speed.
In the next instant, there was the sound of Nina catching Eris's fist.
