Anyway, I’m going to have a date. Nah, it’s a lie.
Uh, I wasn’t lying, but… I asked her to go on a date. It’s actually more like rehabilitation.
It’s important to monitor my condition in case the poison was something extremely harmful, but compared to my current situation where I couldn’t get out of the room, that kind of thing had a low priority for me.
That’s why I had to deal with this. Not being able to get out of the room because of severe depression would mess my life1… And so I went on a date; or more like forcefully trying to go outside when I was still motivated.
… On the first day, I went to the corridor and walked a little, but that was it. When I saw the butler walking from another end of the corridor, I couldn’t move my legs. I had the mentality of a bean curd…
I could go to the stairs on the second day, but I returned to the room after seeing a person down there. And I finally reached the entrance hall on the third day…! Can I go home already? Please?
Anyhow, it took me four days to get out of the mansion. Once I was outside, I should be able to manage somehow… or not. Seeing a person walking outside the gate made me completely lose my courage. I know I should do better since this concerns me. Wait, am I the one who’s putting effort into this? I’m not sure…
On the fifth day, I could finally get out of the gate.
After that, I dragged my feet toward the area with stalls lined up. Lily was holding my hands.
I tried my best to get close to the street, but my feet gave way at that moment… Arisa, who was watching the situation from a distance, came when I couldn’t move and held my other hand. She told me she would come with me. How could I say this? Hearing that made me loosen up… I could finally move my legs.
“I feel bad for Lily, but I’ll have to disturb your date. Sorry.”
“I don’t really mind? What about you, Ren?”
“I still feel uneasy… I can finally move my legs after having you two hold my hands. It’ll be encouraging if you come with me, and I’m grateful for it.”
“Then I’ll bother you. You won’t be able to be lovey-dovey now, though~”
“What’s with that?”
“… I told you I don’t mind!”
Lily puffed her cheeks and turned away… Lily definitely minds, right?… Ah, but Lily’s sulking expression was nostalgic. How cute…
Anyway, since I could come out to a place full of people now, let’s try walking around and have some fun! That’s how I went window shopping. You could also say we were browsing around the stalls.
But I had nothing I wanted to buy, and my original purpose was rehabilitation… What happened afterwards wasn’t so sweet.
You see… Everyone knew that girls took a long time when shopping. You know where this is going, right…?
I thought I should be fine since I was presently a girl, but I was too naïve. Yes, this was impossible for me. But since I was an adult man2, I wouldn’t lash out to them.
One hour passed in a blink of an eye. Right now, I had passed through my frustration and reached enlightenment. This made me feel like a bodhisattva!
However, I also had fun looking around and chatting together with them.
At first, I was afraid of other people’s gazes, but I was surprised at how quickly I started not to mind. Mental tolerance skills are too effective!… I thought so. But you know… I feel like I was just getting numb towards the pain in my heart rather than recovering from my PTSD…?

If I continue to rely on this skill, I had an unpleasant premonition that I would lose my humanity3… Huh? Maybe this was a backfiring skill?
… Let’s stop thinking too much about it. If I go further than this, I could sense myself falling in deep trouble. I had a premonition that I realized something I shouldn’t, but let’s not touch on this anymore. For the time being, it helped me right now.
That’s the story of me noticing a somewhat strange thing, then turning my eyes away from it as I continue browsing around the stalls.
But hmm… I think the accessories around here would suit Lily, but I didn’t like the design. Rather, I felt like it would be better if I made it on my own after I got home. In that case, it was also possible to bestow various things as self-defense.
Alright, let’s do that. I’ll make something to thank her for today.
After that, we kept walking around without buying anything. As we were snacking until lunchtime. We bought light meals and ate a little, but we weren’t full at all. That’s why we bought various meals from random food stalls in the square and sat side by side for lunch.
That’s what happened, but how could I say this… why were they selling hot dogs here?
“I heard a merchant who saw it trending in Harula imitated it. You can also find it being sold in other towns.”
Seriously?
But it was easy to make, so it made sense that anyone could imitate it right away. I guess it couldn’t be helped. I mean, I wouldn’t get into any trouble even if it got spread around like this. It’s not like I was doing hotdog business.
I noticed when looking around that the sauces differ, depending on the store that sells them. I could see why they did that, though. Other than changing the sandwiched sausage, not much could be improvised.
By the way, the hotdog sauce I was eating right now was… like a barbecue sauce, but it also tasted a bit different… It’s not like it didn’t fit, but it didn’t suit my tongue at all. Though it’s not like I couldn’t eat it.
After getting our stomach full, we moved a little and watched the theater. It was quite expensive, but Lily and Arisa paid for it as well.
Hey, I could pay for my share, okay? But when I tried to do that, they forcefully decided that the bill would be on them. Damn it, I’ll definitely thank them for this! Just remember it!
After such an exchange, the performance began. I forgot the title of it, but the content was related to the founding of this country.
It talked about how this country was originally built by a hero of a dragon slayer, but the details regarding it were a bit… I could see they dramatized it in various ways.

… Hundred of years ago. In the beginning, there were several small countries around here, but a black dragon settled in the mountains to the east of here and rampaged, destroying some of those countries.
And a warrior who later became the first king appeared among the troubled survivors, together with a hero who accompanied him on the trip.
… Isn’t it usually the opposite? It’s not a hero with a warrior as his companion?… Huh, I probably shouldn’t think much about it.
Anyway, they challenged the black dragon to save the people.
After discussing many things with the survivors, they went to the northern lake since they heard a legend of a God living there to ask for the God’s help.
They overcame a number of hardships along the way and arrived at the lake safely. There, they met the God of the Wind, received a holy weapon, and used it to defeat the black dragon.
After defeating the black dragon, the people begged the warrior to become their king, and the hero continued his journey to save the people. It ended with a happy ending.
Hmm, I wanted to comment on a lot of things… Could I? No? But, hey; it was a story about the royal family. Criticizing it would be bad, right?
But I found out several things after listening to that story.
The lake north of the royal capital was treated as a sacred place for the royal family because of its founding. And the people of this country believed in the God of the Wind. It made sense.
The king and the hero received the holy spear and the holy sword from the God of the Wind, respectively. The spear was later named after the first king, “Dragon Spear Georgius,” and the holy sword was called “Ascaron.”
The first king named the royal capital after the name of the hero’s sword to pay homage to his comrade and friend. Also, the name of the first king became the surname of the royal family. The royalty surprisingly did as they like, huh?
By the way, the spear was presently in the royal family’s possession as a national treasure. Also, they made an armor using the scales of the black dragon they defeated. It also became a national treasure.
… Huh? Spear and black armor? I feel like I saw it somewhere before…? Hmm… It wouldn’t be anything important if I couldn’t remember it. Whatever.
What piqued my interest more was the whereabouts of the hero and the holy sword. Especially the holy sword. Apparently, it still existed somewhere… I wanted to see the real deal. My [Holy Sword Creation] skill hadn’t improved at all, so it might be helpful.
Well, that concluded the story about the founding of this country.
Eh? How come I didn’t know about the country I lived in? Hey, it’s not like a person of a nation had to know something that happened a long time ago. Not all the Japanese knew about ‘The Chronicles of Japan’ or ‘The Record of Ancient Matters’, okay? Do you think they could explain it to foreigners? Impossible, right? It’s the same for me.
After watching the theater, we hung out until dinner. We had nothing else to do. Buy the groceries, you say? Hey, I was on a long-awaited date. Doing that was a bit… Looking at equipment was also a no for the same reason. In the first place, I could make some myself.
However, three of us were making a living by becoming an adventurer. It’s expected that our conversation got slanted toward that when we didn’t have any other topic left. But thanks to that, we agreed that I would form a party with Lily and Arisa to work together.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation and stop supporting the content thief!)
Ah, yeah. I got invited. Lily and Arisa came back to invite me, so I accepted their goodwill.
Plus, since I was scared to do things solo after getting attacked the other day, having them with me would help a lot. To be honest, I also thought about how I should bring up this subject, so having them invite me was a blessing.
After that, it became hard to kill time until the reservation, so we went to the restaurant earlier. No way, window shopping for several hours was impossible for me. Definitely.
Even though we went to the restaurant earlier than the reservation time, we were welcomed warmly and they served us tea until our seats got empty. As expected from a first-class expensive restaurant.
And when it’s time for us to eat in the private room, we enjoyed chatting about a lot of things. And the meals of the leading restaurant in the royal capital were very delicious.
That being said, it wasn’t that different if compared to the territory’s restaurant we went to before. This would offend them a bit, but I feel like they could improve this more. It was really a shame. Well, I probably felt that way since I had my previous life memory and stuff like that, though.
It’s late at night after we finished the meal, so we stayed overnight.… No. We went home to Lily’s house. As expected, I couldn’t muster enough courage to propose having minors stay in a hotel. It was a shame.
Eh? What am I saying after having a terrible experience just someday before? Hey, that’s the reason I want to be healed by cute girls. You wouldn’t understand.
Even so, I would sleep with Lily in the guest room I borrowed. By the way, Arisa would join us today. I had beauties in both my hands.
Oh, and I got a present from them before I went to bed.
“Hairpins?”
“Yes. We saw your bangs sometimes getting in a way when you’re cooking… We guessed you’re keeping your bangs long since you want to hide your face, but you don’t have to be so vigilant from now on since we’re going to work together!”
I see. Lily was cute. Seeing her say such a thing with an embarrassed face was lovely. And cute. There’s no doubt that she was making me fall in love with her.
Leaving that joke aside, I got a total of six hairpins, including the spares. The design was simple and there was no pattern. It was made of magic steel with silver plating on the surface. And when I took a closer look, these hairpins had [Advanced Magic Power Recovery] bestowed. Even if it’s only LV1.
“This has [Advanced Magic Power Recovery] bestowed, right?”
“How could you find out!? You just saw it a bit, right!?”
“Lily, this is Ren, so no need to be so surprised… It won’t be strange if she has [Appraisal]~”
They still talked like I was a big bad guy, huh?
“Yes. I have [Appraisal], and it helps me a lot.”
By the way, they got their acquaintance to bestow this onto the item. Maybe Lily’s aunt had a connection with someone of that profession? Hmm, I want her to introduce me to an alchemist… I want to learn [Alchemy] skills.
Ah, I had to thank them as well. Maybe I should make some equipment with high usability… Accessories would be better, wouldn’t it? Hmm. But Arisa said she wanted a magic sword before… I’d like to include that as an option. But anyway, I’ll make something as I look at the time.

I went into bed with such a thought, but I couldn’t fall asleep, so I thought about it. I couldn’t afford to use my brain when I was depressed, but now that I had cooled my head, I realized there were many things I had to consider. Actually, I also thought about various things during the rehabilitation date, okay.
That’s how I roughly decided on various reflections, countermeasures, and future plans. Let’s work on the details tomorrow. Hmm, I had so many things to reflect on, and that made me depressed in a different sense…
