Watashi No Hanayome's

26

Morning, hour - - - - -

Today is the last day before the summoning ritual begins, and today my plan is to laze around all day.

And exactly as I wanted. When I opened my eyes, I didn't feel anything like yesterday. Yeah, because I told them all yesterday when I finished dinner, not to bother me today, because I was working on a plan. In fact, I just want to laze around today.

"Ah, it's already noon apparently." This is the first time I've woken up quite noon, and I feel quite happy, because as long as I'm in this world, I'm in this world, I always wake up in the morning and sometimes even wake up before sunrise.

"Hi-Hiroaki, w-are you inside? (outside the room)"

"That's Emilia's voice, what does she do not usually she to my room? Besides, I seemed to have told everyone yesterday not to bother me today." I thought. "What's Emilia doing?"

"Can I come in?"

"Please."

Kreeek.

Emilia went into my room, and I was still lying in bed. "What's the matter Emilia, you don't usually come to my room, is there anything important you want to talk about?"

"Ehh... I-I just want to give this back." Emilia gave me my adventurer card.

"Oh, thank you." I remember giving Rin my adventure card and forgetting to take it back. "What about the rewards?"

"This is the reward." He gave me a coin bag.

"You take it, you're gonna need something, right."

"This coin, for me? But, this will be your reward..."

"For the time being, I don't need anything, so you can use that coin to buy supplies for everything else."

"The others?"

"Yes, Lia also seems to need a fixture. After all, it seems like Lia has a hidden ability." I said that because, I've only seen first time magic that can make people float and maybe that includes special magic. And I have to put that on the god Sha.

"Oh, so. Alright. H-Hiroaki, have you eaten yet?"

For the first time, someone asked me something like that. "Eh, me? I haven't..."

"How about we eat out?"

"Huh? Eating out?" Emilia invited me to eat outside, even though there was a very luxurious dining room in this inn.

"Aren't you going to?" He looks moody.

"N-not so, but-." I had no intention of turning down his offer, but if I followed his will, my plan for today would be in vain.

"In that case, you better get ready soon, I'll be waiting for you outside."

"What's up with Emilia today?" today Emilia looks different, and more importantly. My relaxing plan for the whole day was gone.

Since Emilia has invited me, I don't want to have to obey her. I get ready, take a shower and so on.

------- 10-15 minutes later ----------

I was getting ready, and since I was only going to walk inside the kingdom, it seemed like I did not need to carry my sword. The shirt I'm wearing now is my uniform, for some reason after I finish taking a shower it looks like I just finished washing, when no one had entered my room before.

But, I'm quite happy because I don't need to wear any other clothes.

------ A few minutes later --------------

[Outside the inn ]

I came out of the inn and approached Emilia who had been outside the inn. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"That's okay."

"Eh..? Why would I make a woman wait, instead of me waiting for her instead of her. Ahhe.. Let it be, after all, this is another world, and I don't really care about such trivialities either." I thought.

I only saw one Emilia and didn't see Rin and the others. "Where are Rin and the others?"

"They said they wanted to buy something."

"Oh.. I see."

"Unlike usual Rin went shopping. Lagupula, what did she buy?" my thinking.

"Where are we going to eat now?"

"Eh... If it's. (confused)"

It seems Emilia does not know where to eat. "It's really troublesome."

"Let's go around first."

"Good."

We went around the kingdom to find a place to eat.

-------- A few minutes later ----------------

For some reason, Emilia looked quite happy today. "Emilia, what's wrong with you?"

"Eh. (confused)"

"You look pretty happy, what happened?"

"Eh.. That's... That's... Because.."

It seems that Emilia did not want to answer my question. "Here you go, forget about my question just now." after all, he couldn't have answered that question.

"All right."

-------- A few moments later --------------

We arrived at a dining place that looked quite luxurious. "Emilia, how about it. (pointing towards the restaurant)"

"D-there?"

"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

"(shaking your head) B-not that. It's just, it's pretty expensive."

"Oh so.. Then, want to find another place to eat?" besides, I'm not carrying my card right now, and I can't taste the food in that fancy restaurant.

"All right."

We walked back to find a place to eat.

-------- A few minutes later, again ------------

I saw a simpler place to eat compared to the one before. "Emilia, what about that one? (pointing to the place to eat)"

"If it's there, it seems like it can."

"Well, we'll eat there."

We decided to eat there.

------- A few moments later -------------

Right now we are sitting face to face at this dining table. The demi-human waiter approached our table. "This is the menu, sir, madam."

"Ah... Thank you." I saw the menu. "Ah, fuck.. I forgot that I can't read the writing in this world. I'm stupid." I thought. I saw Emilia was choosing to order something, and I had a brilliant idea.

"Emilia, what do you want?"

"Eh.. I-i..? If you're Hiroaki, what message would you like?"

"Ah.. Because everything looks so good, I can't choose it." Of course I lied, but I just couldn't read all the menus.

"Oh that's how it is.."

"So, I'd like to order what you ordered."

"A-a-what did I-I order. (bump + blushing face)"

Emilia's face flushed. "What's wrong with you, Emilia? Are you sick?"

"T-t-no, I-I'm fine... I'll just order this. (pointing to one of the menus)"

"Then I order that too."

"Alright, sir, madam. Please wait a minute. (go)" the waiter left.

------- A few minutes later ---------------

The waiter returned. "Sorry to keep you waiting, here's your order. Please enjoy."

"Thank you." (Emilia)

We ate the food we ordered.

--------- 10-15 minutes later ------------

I've been eating and so is Emilia, and I think the taste of the food I've been eating just now isn't bad either.

"Everything, 50 silver coins, sir, mistress."

"It." He paid using the coin I gave him.

After receiving the payment, the waiter cleaned our table and then left.

When I looked at Emilia's face, I saw that there was a bit of food left on her face. "Emilia..." I took the leftovers and threw them away.

"Huh??"

"Now it is clean..."

Emilia's face flushed again."Emilia, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" I touched his forehead with my hand and made sure he was sick or not.

"Hmmm. Not hot, what's wrong with you?"

"Ha. A-a-a-ak-..."

"What's wrong?"

"Ak-ak-..."

"Woy Emilia, what's wrong with you?! (panicked)" suddenly Emilia fainted.

"Does the food have side effects? But, if so. Why am I still okay?" my thinking.

I tried to wake Emilia. "Emilia, wake up. (moving Emilia's body)" Emilia was still unconscious as well.

And since quite a number of people were in this eating place looking at me, I felt uneasy. And I decided to carry Emilia back to the inn.

-------- A few minutes later ----------------

Daytime, hour - - -- -

"Eh? Is this really the way?" right now, I'm in a pretty tough situation, because I'm lost right now.

I continued to walk looking for the right path leading to the inn. And right now, the people on the street were looking at me with strange gazes because I was carrying the tweezering Emilia. "Woy woy woy woy, come on, stop looking at me with that look." I thought.

--------- A few minutes later ------------------ - a few minutes later

"Ah, siall, I seem to have lost my way." I was in a place I had never been before. "What is this place? I didn't know there was a place like this in this kingdom."

A slum located some distance away in the kingdom, and in this place there are not many people who are active or maybe, there is nothing active in this area, indeed, and that makes this place look pretty scary.

"This place is quite spooky, I'd better get out of this place soon." I'll leave this pretty creepy place.

------- A few minutes later -------------

I made it out of that place, and I'm still lost.

"Where am I?" (Emilia) Emilia is conscious.

"Emilia, you're conscious."

"H-H-Hiroaki! What happened a-pa?"

"You passed out earlier, so I carried you and intended to return to the inn."

"Eh, if that's the case." I'm really embarrassed to say it, but, in the common interest, I have to say it.

"What's up Hiroaki?"

"I think I'm lost."

"What?!"

"So, because you're awake. Emilia, do you know the way back to the inn?"

"If that, I know."

"In that case, I'll put you down and you can show me the way." I also said Emilia, but...

"Wait a minute."

"What's Emilia doing?"

"I-I don't have the energy to walk. W-so, w-do you want to keep carrying me?"

"If so, what can I do." I kept holding Emilia.

"Thank you."

"It's okay. Can you show me the way back now?"

"D-yes."

I also followed the instructions that Emilia gave me.

------- A few minutes walk --------------- A few minutes walk

I came to a large garden in this kingdom. "Eh. Apparently, in this kingdom there is a garden, yes." I was quite surprised, because in this world there is also a garden in the middle of the settlement.

"Hiroaki, is this your first time seeing a garden."

"Not really."

"Oh so. Hiroaki, you can put me down now."

"Why? Are you okay?"

"N-not so. But, we are now people's concern."

"Eh? Is that really so?" when I look around, I do get the attention of people around me. "All right, I'll put you down"

I also took down Emilia. "Well, let's go back to the inn." I walked over, and Emilia was still silent at the garden.

"It seems, Emilia was interested in the park. It's still daytime anyway, so I think it's okay." I thought. "Hey Emilia, do you want to go to that park?"

"Eh? N-no-a-I-..." Emilia lowered her head.

"Then, how about we stop by for a while." I also held Emilia's hand. "Come on."

"T-tung-..."

I pulled Emilia's hand and walked towards the direction of the park.

-------- A few moments later ---------------

"Gee.. This park turns out to be big too when viewed up close. (looking towards Emilia) Emilia what's wrong with you?" Emilia lowered her head, I don't know why she did that. But, if it is like that, it is in vain that I bring Emilia here, if she does not see this park, even though she seems to want to go to this park earlier.

"Emilia, what's wrong with you? Don't you like the garden?"

"Not so, it's just..."

"What's wrong?"

"D-here's the place, couples to relax."

"So, do you have a problem with that?"

"If i-it's..."

I thought that Emilia was not dislike of the garden, but she was not confident because my partner's bond with Emilia was an unmarked couple. "Didn't you dare come to this park, because you don't have a partner's mark?"

"B-not so-..."

"(hugging Emilia's head) You take it easy, you're my partner and whatever happens you're still my partner. Even without the sign of a partner like any other couple, you're still my partner."  

"Ahhhhh... I said something embarrassing." I thought.. I said something embarrassing to Emilia, and worse.. Right now, I'm being seen by the people who are here, and that's quite embarrassing.

"H-Hiroaki, (look at me and smile) thank you, because you want to be my partner."

"No problem." Emilia looked calmer and more importantly, she did not bow her head anymore. "How come we go around this park for a while, after that we just go back to the inn."

"Good."

We also took a walk in the park.

--------- A few minutes later ------------------ - a few minutes later

After we finished walking around the park, we immediately returned to the inn. Today Emilia looks quite happy and I am quite happy about it.

----- In the inn -------- in the inn

Afternoon, hours - - - - -

"Ahl. Finally, I can enjoy the remains of my precious day." Right now, I'm in my room, alone.

"*Hey, didn't you forget about tomorrow?" telepathy god Sha.

"Of course, how could I forget it."

"Good then. But before that, there's something I want to give you."

"give me? What'sthat?"

Suddenly a small bag was in front of me. "What is this bag?" I opened it too. "Dye powder? What is this*?" I was given a small bag of green dye powder by the god Sha.

"*That's for your disguise..."

"Milandge?"

"Yes, don't tell me you want to infiltrate the palace with that look."

"Oh right too." What the god Sha said was true, I needed a disguise. "But, why must it be dye powder?"

"That's because, there's something I forgot to tell you about your sword."

"Hey, how many things have you forgotten to tell me. (dejected*)" God Sha was a forgetful god, and I was quite worried because he must have forgotten something important to tell me.

"*Ahahaha, well I'll explain, what I forgot to tell you that."

"All right, I'll listen to you."

"The sword of the blue dragon is a special sword..."

"Special sword?"

"Hey, don't cut out my words!! (dejected)"

"Ah, alright*..." 

"Well, he's pissed.." pikrku.

"*The color of the blue dragon sword will change if you sprinkle a special powder according to the color of the powder you sprinkle."

"So, this color powder..."

"Yes, that powder is a special powder, and the price of that special bag of powder might be equivalent to 50 platinum coins."

"WHAT!!! (surprised) 50 platinum coins. Seriously?"

"Seriously. Forget about this small business problem first. We go back to the discussion. If you have enough energy, this field will evolve."

"Revolutionized? Will this sword change shape?"

"Unfortunately no. That sword will only change color according to your emotional state."

"Changed according to my emotional state?"

"Yes, or arguably, a sword that follows the state of its bearer."

"so.. But, does it have any effect on me?"

"Of course, as this sword evolves, the power of this sword will increase by 3 times."

"3 times, how strong is it?"

"When it evolves, the power of this sword will be tremendous, and when compared to my power as a god. This sword has at least 0.50% of my power."

"0.50% Seriously*?" The number 0.50% does seem a little or even very little, but if you look at the power that Rin previously used time in the extermination mission, you know, god Sha said that such a power had not even touched the 0.01% of his strength. So, you can imagine, 0.50% how powerful such a small number can be.

"*Seriously. All right, that's the only information I forgot to tell you. And I want to ask you 1 thing."

"What's? Plans?"

"Do you have a plan to infiltrate the kingdom tomorrow?"

"Eh, if that's..."

"Did you have no plan?"

"Is a plan really necessary right now?"

"of course. When the summoning ritual began, the entire palace would be filled with guards, and also outsiders would not be given permission to enter the palace before the summoning ritual was completed. Therefore, you need a plan to infiltrate the palace. And since you don't have a plan right now, I'll help you tomorrow but just this time I'll help you. And for the next you'll have to try yourself."

"Well, thank you so much god Sha*." I'm helped enough because Lord Sha wants to make a bath tomorrow.

"*But remember, you have to get up early and not involve them in this business."

"They? Whatchu mean. Rin, Emilia, Inori, and Lia..."

"Yes, if you get them into trouble like this. Something bad is going to happen to them."

"If for that matter, you take it easy, from the beginning I did not intend to see them all into this matter. After all, they are my family in this world, and I will not allow anything bad to happen to my family."

"It's good that you understand. Well then, you'd better get some sleep tonight, because tomorrow's an important day." 

"Alright*.." (god Sha closes his telepathy).

"In that case, I'd better tell the laninnya not to bother me tonight."

Grrrr. (belly beeping)

"Ah... I'd better eat first. After all, they must be in the dining room right now, and that's when I tell them not to bother me tomorrow." I went to the dining room too.

-------- A few moments later --------------

I got to the dining room and I saw the others were already here. I sat down and then ate right away.

A few minutes later.

I'm done eating, and maybe it's time I told them. "Rin, Emilia, Inori, Lia, I have something to tell you."

"What's Hi-chan?"

"I want you to not interrupt tomorrow."

"What's up Hiroaki?"

"Why doesn't Hiroaki-sama want to be disturbed tomorrow?"

"Something I'm aiming to come to this kingdom for, I'll do tomorrow. And I'd be happy if you all didn't interfere."

"B-but, Hi-chan..."

"I'm sorry for my selfishness Rin, but this is my request to all of you. I hope you don't bother me tomorrow, and it'll be better if you stay in the room tomorrow." I also left the dining room. "I'm sorry. I don't want to involve you in this matter." I also returned to the room, and prepared everything I needed for the plan to thwart tomorrow's summoning ritual.
