...A date? No, it's Just a Walk, You Know!...
The four of them went to their rooms on the second floor. They did not need to ask where her room was, because Elena who was already familiar with the setting of this kind of world was too memorized by what the author thought. As for the three of them, they simply followed Elena and also already felt that her room was indeed on the second floor.
Elena took off her jacket and threw it on one of the most marginal mattresses. He immediately lay down on the bed and stretched his body while saying, "Ah! I'm tired! Sleeping outside for a few days is very distressing and uncomfortable. I didn't even sleep a few times and stayed up."
What Elena said was not entirely true. As a psychic, she could survive without sleep for a few days, so a few days of staying up late was no big deal for her. In addition, they also sleep more in the inns of the city they come to, not the middle forest which is where they first landed.
"Nee-san, haven't you had enough naps in exchange for your malm sleep? Moreover, Nee-san does need to stay up at night as we take turns to guard the caravan from any demon and beast attacks that might occur," naruto said as he watched Elena with his plain white T-shirt.
Naruto chose the furthest bed from his older sister. For some reason, his instincts said so because it would be dangerous if he got too close to Elena. Thinking about Naruto being frequently colonized, this is indeed the right choice.
*silent!*
Unfortunately there was no answer from Elena to Naruto's statement. The three of them who were observing Elena further, realized that she was already tired of falling asleep and would not respond anymore to what they said.
'How can he sleep so fast!' shouted the three in each other's minds.
Elena who fell asleep quickly was still not too tired at this time, but she preferred to reassemble or refresh her mentality to be in a more prime condition. The other reason, there was nothing really of interest to Elena in this capital. He had seen the setting of the fantasy many times until he was bored and he also still could not gather the natural energy here as it would attract too much attention.
If Elena used her control of the natural energy, then the area around them would be affected by the suppressing air due to the massive pool of natural energy around Elena. After all in the anime, the Main Character once showed control of his magic and made one school building gripping. Elena who had mental strength many times better than him would have left the entire capital affected by it.
The reason why they came here, was none other than to pick up a book in the library regarding enchantment magic. Unlike ordinary spells, enchantment magic is a magic that gives effect to an object by inscribing several letters of magic. The concept is the same as Fuinjutsu, but it will probably have a slight difference as the laws of this world and the laws of Naruto world are different.
There was no guidebook that was truly adequate for them during this trip, so they wished on the capital as their last hope. Well, although they were not very hopeful since the magic level here was very retarded, at least they had tried their hardest by coming here.
"All right, now what are we gonna do? Our original purpose here was to find a guide on enchantment magic, right?" Eriza sat on the bed beside Naruto while asking.
"Hmm, if we choose a rational step, we should head to the library or the magic bookstore to look for it, but …." Anko lay on the bed next to Elena and used her one arm to cover her eyes. "I'll go to sleep first. Going on a long trip is exhausting, you know?"
"Huh, basic, is everyone in this group lazy?" Eriza looked back at Naruto and said, "Do you want to take a nap just like them, Naruto?"
"I? No, I'm not gonna do that." Naruto shook his head before saying, "I think I'll take a walk and take a look at this city. My place of origin has very different customs and customs to this city."
"Can I come with you? The rule of the party is that the more people there are, the more exciting it will be, right?" Eriza smiled sweetly as she said that.
"Em, um, yeah …." Naruto did not immediately give an answer, but rather he pointed his eyes to various corners of the room with a restless feeling.
After all, Naruto is still a man and Eriza is a girl who is not much older than Naruto. If the two of them went for a walk together, then this would look more like a date than a normal walk.
Naruto was certainly aware of this, and because of this he became restless. On the one hand, Naruto wanted to accept Eriza and take her for a walk, but on the other hand he was well aware of her nature as a real man who would not play women.
"Can't it?" eriza said with a clear face.
"It's not okay, it's just .. I'm not too comfortable when we're just alone together," replied Naruto in a voice that vibrated.
"Do you have a problem walking around with a girl like me? I know I'm not very pretty, but say if I'm ugly .. isn't that a little rough?" Eriza still did not understand Naruto's intentions and considered this a normal affair.
Before Eriza joined Elene's group, she was exploring alongside male-dominated mercenaries because it was a rough job. For him, traveling with men is a natural thing and does not need to be questioned.
"Ti-No, that's not it! I mean, I mean, I mean what if you're in a relationship with your opposite sex!" Naruto shouted loudly because he was confused to explain what else this would be like if it could not make Eriza understand.
"Connecting with the opposite sex?" Eriza fell silent and thought of these words more deeply.
After a while, he finally understood with the intention Naruto said, and instantly his face turned red like a tomato, very clearly if he blushed embarrassedly.
"Don't get me wrong! I-I don't have that kind of intention!" Instead of speaking in a small, timid voice, Eriza shouted loudly as an affirmation.
"Yes, I know, that's why I reminded you back!" Naruto made a coughing sound before saying, "Ehem, so how? Do you still want to come?"
"Of course I'll come with you! Anyway this ... It's just a regular walk." Eriza's last sentence was spoken slowly along with her eyes that were turned to the corner of another room.
"Huh …." Naruto let out a tired sigh, thinking about the girl in front of him who was very intent on following him, to the point that the girl forced her shy self.
