Chapter 100.1: Side Story – Ludi and Yukine’s Girls Talk

Since I just recently arrived in this town I don’t really know a good place. The place I was recommended to was a cafe just under ten minutes of walk time away from Hanamura house.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t expect this. From my perspective, Yukine-san has the image of a traditional Japanese person. I expected that she would introduce me to a Japanese-style place like the one she introduced to me before.

“You sure know various kinds of shop, Yukine-san.”

“It’s the place my classmate from the student council introduced to me. I come to this place with her once in a while to talk about dungeon capturing. It’s not that far from the student dorm after all.”

Saying so Yukine-san sips her tea.

“I see, so Yukine-san is living in a dormitory. What is it like?”

“It was built more than ten years ago but its facilities are first class and very comfortable you know. Ludi is living at the Hanamura house now right?”

“Yes, Otou-sama said that I will absolutely be safe with Hanamura Family…and I think so too as well. There’s my own maid, Marino-san, Hatsumi-san……..and most importantly, Kousuke is there too.”

After I said so, Yukine-san let out a gentle laugh as if she sees through everything.

It is kind of embarrassing so I avert my eyes and reach for the tea.

“That’s certainly true.”

“Yes, he is really reliable.”

“……..Takioto was really amazing in the dungeon you know? He exhibits the strength that even I never have seen before when we were training together. That must be because he wholeheartedly wants to save you, Ludi.”

Hearing so I can’t stop smiling. I was truly happy when he showed up. When I thought that it was already hopeless, I ended up getting carried by the situation and hugged him. His back was firm and broader than I thought……

“Since it happened in front of my eyes, I saw his figure as well. Umm, he really was very reliable. Well, there are some unforgivable parts as well though.”

“Unforgivable?”

“………….His pervert gaze when we were wearing the swimsuit was a little…”

It might be an inevitable thing for a man. He did try to turn his face away as to not stare at us as much as possible but his gaze was totally glued at us.

“C, certainly, Takioto’s gaze was really intense then.”

“But there’s a part that he did try to look away as much as possible too….Besides, he stopped doing that when we entered the dungeon as well, I can’t confidently say that though.”

“Well, that’s true. Even so, our appearance was quite embarrassing at that time.”

Hearing Yukine-san seriously said so, the appearance of the well-worn green swimsuit came to my mind. It was something I often worn.

My face gradually growing hotter. When I raise my face, I also saw Yukine-san’s white skin turning a shade of red.

“L, let’s forget about that Yukine-san…..there will be no opportunity for us to wear that again anyway.”

“That’s true. I pray that we don’t have to wear that again. That thing really has high defensive power though……”

Even if you say that it has high defense.

“Can Yukine-san swing your naginata while wearing that? Can you really show your peak performance?“

“Ugh, that is.”

There are magical equipments that will become half as effective when you equip other items on top of them. Those swimsuits were that type of item so you can’t wear other clothes on top. Their defensive power is certainly high but you surely couldn’t wear them and fight unless you possess the pride of steel. Moreover, Yukine-san’s chest is big.

Silence overtook us. We simply sit there with our reddened faces. As I was staring at the teacup while thinking about another topic something came to my mind and I break the silence.

“S, speaking of which Yukine-san. Do you often visit this kind of store?”

“Ju, Just once in a while. Once a week a most I think. Since I have to dive into the dungeon and taking classes I don’t really come here that often.”

“Hee, so that was the case.”

“Well, I really want to come here more but I have to consider the time for duty at the committee, the dungeon, and studying for the test you know……Come to think of it, do you also have some special training at the Hanamura house as well, Ludi?”

“Yes, Hatsumi-san has taken care of me a lot. Recently, I have become able to shorten my chant as well.”

“A training from Hatsumi-san herself huh. That’s amazing.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, among the professors at the academy Hatsumi-san is one of the most recognized for her ability you know.”

Even if you say that, I only saw her spaced out all the time though.

“That’s a little hard to imagine.”

[FuFu] Laughed Sempai.

“She certainly always like that. But her ability is the real deal. In the first place, if you don’t have a certain level of ability or some kind of special ability you couldn’t become a professor at the academy anyway. Hatsumi-san possessed both knowledge and ability and moreover…”

Saying so Yukine-san uses her magic and creates water in front of me.

“She is normally quiet but she will change as soon as it comes to magic?”

She stops her magic and the water vanished.

“I see, at first I thought that training with her would be dull too.”

“Hahaha, that’s really like Hatsumi-san. I can imagine her just indifferently watching you using magic.”

However,

“But still, I am thankful to her. Hatsumi-san was busy at that time. She looked after me despite the school about to start and there was that matter too…..the part where she made me using magic to the point of exhaustion was a little too harsh though.”

“Fumu, but isn’t using your magic to the point of exhaustion make it easier to increase your magic power?”

“That seems to be the case. Kousuke also said the same thing. So I started doing it until I feel dizzy then after that Kousuke shows up and uses his magic transfer……Ah.”

My words come to a sudden stop and I hug my body.

That was bad. Bad bad bad!

The feeling like my whole body got gently stimulated, the burning heat and the good feelings that almost make my consciousness fly away….. Just what was that, it was like my entire body was fulfilled and the addictive desire that wants him to do it all over again…..

“What about the magic transfer?”

But Kousuke’s gift magic wasn’t entirely a bad thing. My body certainly felt hot and it felt good? Also kind of ecchi too. Still, he properly transferred his magic power over to me.

“N, no. it’s nothing. Th, that’s right. If you are going to receive magic power from Kousuke then please prepare to steel your mind as well.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Um, it’s a feeling that is hard to describe with words…..no, umm, anyway please prepare yourself.”

“I don’t know what to prepare myself for but I will keep that in mind.”

Yukine-san exhales.

“Well, it’s Takioto so he wouldn’t do anything bad to us right.”

Hearing so, I strongly nod.

“There’s no doubt about that. If I or Yukine-san were to be in danger then he would surely come to our side even if his life is on the line after all.”

“Me? Speaking of which, he did say something like that.”

“No, Kousuke will surely come, absolutely. Of course, that goes for me too. I don’t know where or when you are going to need our help but we will definitely come to you.”

Hearing so, Yukine-san was stunned for a moment but immediately after she showed me a gentle smile.

“Somehow, it seems like I have a good junior. Umm, how should I say this, when you say it so seriously like that it is kinda embarrassing.”

“Is that so?”

“It is. Well, it’s already almost noon…. what should we do about lunch?”

I almost automatically say ramen but I managed to hold it. Yukine-san surely won’t mind it but it is still embarrassing.

“How about pasta?”

“Aa, then let’s go to this shop I know. It’s the place that my friend told me about though.”

I look at Yukine-san laughing and exhale. Let’s leave the ramen for tomorrow. If I ask him then he will definitely take me with him. If it’s Kousuke then he will definitely do so.

Then we would leave the house together, walking down the street together, and enter the ramen shop together. I don’t know, it is like when you find a four-leaf clover, the time that we bought sweets at the convenience store together a small moment of happiness like that mix and combine together and become bigger and bigger. It is a mysterious feeling.

After we paid our bill and left the cafe, I look at the sky and take a huge breath. The cloudy sky still looks like it is going to rain.

But tomorrow…

Tomorrow……..it would be good if it is sunny tomorrow.
