Chapter title: A day off for two men

「I didn’t think I’d be spending my first day off as a soldier with you.」

Russell-san, who was walking next to me, covered his mouth with his hand and let out a big sigh.

He was on night duty yesterday, guarding the castle, and was having breakfast in the soldiers’ canteen when I visited.

「If you were going to walk around the capital, wouldn’t you have preferred Serena or your childhood friend over a tough guy like me?」

Russell-san saw the reunion between me and Alicia when we were having the discussion the other day.

He asked me with a slightly teasing look on his face, as if he was curious about the relationship between Serena, Alicia and me.

「They’re both out shopping today. So I’m the only one left alone.」

「What the hell, you mean I’m just here for you to pass the time?」

「No, I really wanted to do some shopping.」

Thinking that I had made him uncomfortable, I waved my hand in denial.

Yesterday, I decided to go back to the Lost Forest to make the most of my free time.

The purpose was to take Serena back to the Elven Forest and to replenish the supplies at the Evil God’s castle.

When I told the three of them about it, Alicia and Serena said that they needed to prepare.

And since they said, “It’s better for women to do this kind of shopping together,” I refrained going with them.

As for the funds, the prize money for defeating the Arc Demon and Kuzmugo has been transferred to me and Serena, so we can afford to buy magic tools and magical equipment that we couldn’t afford before.

That’s why I offered Russell-san, who has visited the capital many times on business and knows me, to show me around.

「Maa, in addition to the reward for defeating the Arc Demon, I also received the contract money as a soldier commander, so my pockets are warm. I’ve been wanting to spend it all, so it’s perfect.」

Russell-san smiled at my offer, waving his hand lightly as if he didn’t particularly care.

「Oh, by the way, you. I heard you’re going to get some kind of great title this time.」

On the way, Russell muttered, as if he suddenly remembered.

「Do you know about it?」

I’m pretty sure Alice told me that it’s been hushed up. I was wondering how much Russell knew about it.

「Well, I’ve been in relatively close contact with you, you know. They didn’t tell me your name, but I would have noticed.」

If you think about it, there were a lot of people there. It would have been impossible to keep it completely quiet.

It’s probably best to assume that the word has gotten around in the castle.

「So, I was told not to be rough with you because it would be a problem if I offended you. Perhaps I should be more respectful?」

To Russell-san, who suddenly said this.

「Please don’t do that now. To me, Russell-san is a senior adventurer. It would be awkward.」

His face was scary, but I respected him. This is the reason why I would feel lonely if he used honorifics, as if he was distancing himself from me.

「Maa, I can’t help it if you say so.」

「Ah!」

He then reached out his hand to my head and crushed it.

「So, Elt. Where do you want me to take you? Your weapons aren’t exactly something you can buy on the street, are they?」

Most of what I’m wearing now is stuff I recovered from the Evil God’s castle.

I don’t feel like equipping the cloak, tin staff, ring and crown that the evil god wore for some reason, but I have the famous sword, so I don’t need a weapon inferior to it.

「What I want you to show me is a store that deals with artifacts.」

So I told Russell-san about my destination.

TL: I’m back! I wanted to stockpile chapters, and I actually did from this novel (20 chapters) but I went from windows 11 to windows 10 (I don’t like windows 11) and I forgot to BACK THEM UP…..

I’m sad. I’m crying…. Anyway, this website does not have ads anymore, and if you see any ads on it please Tag me in the comments (PS: This does not include the ads that Disqus shows.)
