Watashi No Hanayome's

9

After a while we walked, we finally reached the very end of this cave and also the origin of the light.

"What is this?!"

A rather spacious place was inside this cave and many large piles of rocks were scattered within the cave. I also saw a bright blue-colored sword stuck in the ground, and the light I saw earlier was the reflection of the light from the exact sunlight hitting the sword, not far from where the sword was, and the light I saw was the reflection of the exact sunlight, I also saw a blue sword sheath.

Because of my curiosity, I approached the sword. And after arriving.

"What a legendary sword is, and maybe if I could draw this sword, I could become a hero like the one in anime" I muttered with a small smile.

Rin just looked from a distance, I don't know what the girl was thinking.

I drew the sword, and I easily drew the sword without any difficulty.

"Ehhh? How do you get immediately uprooted? Is this a legendary sword? Usually, in anime, it takes a considerable amount of power to draw a legendary sword, but why is it so easy" I thought

I compared the west of my sword and the sword I pulled out just now.

"This sword is quite light compared to my 'Shirame' sword." I muttered

After that, I walked over to pick up the sword sheath that I suspected belonged to this sword because the color of the sword and the sheath of the sword were the same.

And right after that, Rin ran over to me and hid behind my back.

"W-What's wrong Rin?!" I said a little nervously.

"I-it's."

Rin pointed towards the exit. I looked carefully, from a distance on the way out of this cave, I saw 3 demon beasts that were outside had already entered into this cave.

"Yeahhhhh!!! How's this?!!"

I started to panic because maybe the only way was to fight to save myself, because there was no way to escape here anymore.

I also prepared my sword. Because my sword was quite heavy, so I used the field I pulled out just now and also because it was quite light in weight it would probably ease my movement.

Grooarrr. Think of it as animal sounds.

The demon beast was getting closer.

"Rin! You better hide soon."

"But..."

"Already! Just hide!"

After that, Rin hid in one of the piles of stones in this cave.

"Like a hero, I told Rin to hide, when in fact I was scared too. But it's okay, it's also to protect a girl." I murmured.

The demonic beast arrived and immediately looked at me, and instantly the 3 demonic beasts attacked me simultaneously.

I panicked and did not know what to do, suddenly with reflex I immediately jumped.

I jumped high enough to almost reach between the ceilings of this cave. "Waaahh!! Tinggggiiiii!!" I was both impressed and surprised, because I didn't know that I had the talent to jump.

And at the same time the 3 demonic beasts that were under me opened their mouths and were about to swallow me. 

I once again panicked, and I closed my eyes as I slashed the sword I was holding carelessly (because it was light) towards the three demonic beasts that were right below me.

With my eyes closed I landed perfectly. "Have I been eaten?" I said that closed my eyes.

"What's this?" I felt something with my footrest and I decided to open my eyes.

"Yeah!!! What's going on?!" When I opened my eyes, I saw that all the demon beasts had been split into pieces and that on my foot massage was now a blood floor of the blood of all the demon beasts that were split and also they did not recuperate different from what I fought with Garden at that time.

I'm starting to get confused about what's going on here. "Is this the power of this sword?" muttered.

Then I tried to slash it against the wall in this cave, but nothing happened. "If it wasn't for this sword, who would it be?" muttered.

I saw Rin hiding in one of the rocks in this cave. And I don't think he did it, so who did? Actually I was curious if unlocking the power of this sword, who is this or is there anyone else in this cave besides us?

"Rin, it's safe now, you can get out."

Suddenly a foul smell began to smell from this demon carcass, the smell was already very pungent when it was only a few minutes after this demon animal died and the smell of rotten already smelled like a carcass that had been dead for days.

I took out my sword and the basket containing the tail***wooden, and I also took the sword I used with it along with the sheath. After that Rin and I ran out of the cave because the stench was already very pungent.

Soon I arrived outside the cave and the stench of the demon beast was no longer smelled.

"Take this Rin." I gave Rin the sword I pulled out earlier, because it wasn't too heavy I just gave it to Rin, who knows she can wear it.

"Why did you give it to me?"

"Take it."

"Good."

Rin took his sword. And after that, we went back to the city to deliver this forest deer tail and received imblan for the success of the mission we were working on.

*****

Afternoon, hours - - - - -

"Ohhhhh!!! Finally arrived!! Is there no such thing as a vehicle in this world?" My complaint.

3 Hours we walked and finally we arrived in front of the city entrance gate. And in front of the city gate, there were 2 guards standing guard.

"Hey young man, what are you carrying?" (Gate guard 1)

The guard looked towards the basket I was carrying.

"This? It's a jungle deer tail. This I will give to the guild for proof that my mission is complete." My reply.

"Alright, be careful on the road." (Gate guard 2)

"Good."

I also went into the city.

In town.

Everyone on the street saw us, no matter what they thought. And if there was a Garden here, he would be able to answer my question on this one. 'Why do they see me?' That's the question I'm gonna ask Garden. But alas, Garden left for a while because he was on a top-level mission. And for now, I can just keep going and try to ignore them all.

A few minutes later.

We finally reached the guild, and there were still many eyes on us. I ignored it and quickly approached the receptionist and gave her the tail of a forest deer.

"This." I said to the receptionist while giving the basket containing the tail of a forest deer.

"Hmmmm. 3 forest deer. All right, please show me your card and your partner." (Reconsecionist)

"Well." I gave the receptionist a black card that Alice gave her yesterday.

A few moments later.

"It's in return for your mission, all 24 silver coins." The receptionist gave us the mission reward coins that were placed on his desk and on our cards.

"Well." I took the coin and my cards and Rin's.

And still in the same state, everyone (except the receptionist) saw us, no matter what they thought.

"Why do they see me?" muttered.

"Actually they don't see you" (Respectionist)

"What do you mean?"

"Actually they're all looking towards your partner who's behind you."

"Why did they see Rin." I'm getting jealous.

"They all saw the sword that your partner was carrying. Do you know the story of the first king who ever saw a god?"

"Yes, I know."

"Conon, one of the swords carried by the god is a bright blue sword like a diamond and also has a blue sword cover exactly as held by your partner. And also, the sword has tremendous power, because it was made directly by a god."

"Ohhh. So that's why they keep looking in our direction."

"Yes, you're right."

Suddenly I had an idea in my head.

I'm yelling.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT?! ARE YOU AMAZED BY MY SWORD?!"

"What's? Make it?" (People in the guild)

"REALLY!! THIS IS MY SWORD, GOOD NO!"

"Huh. It turned out to be just an artificial sword, I guess it was a legendary sword." (People in the guild)

After hearing that, the entire yeng people looking towards us instantly ignored us.

"Waaa. It worked." I muttered with a small smile.

After that, Rin and I went out of the guild to the inn and somehow, on our way to the inn, no one noticed us anymore.

A few minutes walk, finally we arrived at the inn rented by the Garden.

I saw 3 girls talking, and I heard them a little.

"Do you want to come, I'll go to the hot spring later?" (Female 1)

"Waaahh. I'll come along." (Female 2)

"Bath, yes. I'm coming!" (Female 3)

"Well, we'll all go together." (Female 1)

"Good!" (Women 2 and 3)

After that, the girls left.

"What in the world, there's a hot spring too?" Mumbles.

I went into the inn, and inside the inn was a girl who was sweeping this inn and this girl was different from the girl I had met the first time when I entered this inn with the Garden.

The girl stopped sweeping. "Welcome sir, how can I help you?" Said the girl with a smile.

He didn't know I was staying here. And I decided to ask about the hot spring baths that are here.

"Do you know where the hot spring in town is?"

"Ohhh. It's pretty close to the guild, sir. You just walk a little east and you will find a house that is quite simple, and that is where the hot spring is located. Do you intend to go there?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Better mister immediately rushed, because starting from afternoon to evening, usually the bath was quite crowded. And also, if you are an adventurer, there is a special bathhouse for adventurers."

"Hmmmmm. A special place for adventurers? How much does it cost, huh?" muttered.

"Let's just relax, sir, there's no charge for people who want to take a bath in that bath."

"Whhh... It turned out that he was horrified by my murmur." I was quite surprised that he could hear my murmur in a fairly small voice. "So, that bath will not cost you anything?"

"True sir."

"God. Then wait, especially. Come on Rin, we're leaving now."

"Wait dul-."

Before Rin finished his words, I went straight out of the peek, and rushed towards the hot spring. Rin chased after me who was some distance ahead of him.

I went to the bathhouse without putting my love first in the inn, and maybe that's what Rin wanted to tell me earlier.

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

We finally got to the hot spring. I saw a building with ancient house architecture like the one in Japan.

I went inside, inside, the place was pretty clean and there was also a room quite spacious, there was a door in the middle of this room, I don't know what room it was, maybe it was the dressing room.

Suddenly, a woman wearing a dress similar to a yukata and a dress she wore no pattern nor even an image (plain), came up to us, looks like he's one of the servants in this bathhouse.

"Do the ladies and gentlemen want to soak in this bath? If true, you could use that room to change the clothes you're using now."

The waiter pointed towards the door that was in the middle of this room, I had guessed.

"Good."

"And you can also drop your sword, if you don't mind."

"For the sword, let me carry it myself."

"All right, sir."

I immediately entered the room and I also saw Rin being led by the servant to another room.

Inside this room, there are so many clothes that I can use, but all the clothes in this room are all plain white. I also choose the clothes I wear.

2 Minutes later.

I finished choosing and also put on the clothes that were in this room. And as for my clothes, I don't know what to do, because the smell and blood of the former demon animal is still slightly attached to my clothes, and besides my clothes are also quite dirty.

Not knowing what to do, I walked out of the room with my sword.

Outside the room, I saw a different servant in front of my room.

"D-wanna? Where's Rin?" ask the waiter.

"Oh so." And at the same time. "W-can you clean my clothes?" I offered myself.

"Ahh??" the confused waiter.

"Ettoooooooooing. My clothes are dirty, can you clean them?"

"Oh.. All right then, sir. But before that, I'll take you to the bath first."

"All right."

The waiter drove me to the bathhouse.

After a long walk.

The waiter stopped at a fairly luxurious open-air bath.

"Here, sir."

"All right, thank you."

"It's okay, sir. It's our duty."

After that, the waiter left.

"I'm quite surprised, if an adventurer alone can get such special treatment like this, why not many human races who do not become adventurers only. And instead I saw in the city, there were so many men who were only merchants." Thought.

I also went to the bath. Inside the bathhouse, I saw a man who was quite handsome, in my opinion. With brown hair that is not so short that I think quite cool, a little long hair on the front covers part of his right eye.

And also, the baths I use today are open-air baths with quite luxurious designs, in my opinion.

And I saw him taking a shower and without taking off the clothes he was wearing. "Maybe it's an ordinance to bathe in this hot spring bath." I murmured.

"Oh. There's a man apparently-" (man)

The man was aware of my presence.

"Don't just stand there, please." Reciprocity.

"Ah. B-good."

"See this guy is quite friendly." Thought.

I also went into the hot spring. The warmth of this hot water was very fitting, and also coupled with the beautiful view of the night sky with many stars made me more relaxed, and the fatigue I was experiencing was instantly gone.

"Yeah..." I took a long breath.

"It looks like you've just been through a pretty hard thing."

I was a little surprised why he knew.

"How do you know?"

"That's pretty easy. Everyone who comes to this bath will definitely take a deep breath when they are experiencing a difficult problem. That's why I know."

"Ohhh. Like that." Mumbles.

"Oh yeah. Introduce my name Hiroaki." For some reason, I unconsciously introduced myself to this man.

"Hiroaki, yes. Then call me Sha."

"All right."

After that we talked about a few things. Unknowingly, the night was getting late. I decided to end the conversation and immediately leave this very delicious bath.

"It's getting late, I'd better get back to the inn."

"Oh. Is that so. Alright. Be careful on the road."

"good. And also, it's nice to be able to chat with you."

"Me too, I haven't talked in a while. And maybe we'll see each other again soon."

"True, then, when we meet again let's talk again" I said with a smile.

After that, I came out of the bath and when I was outside. A waiter who delivered me earlier was in front of the bathhouse I was in.

"Here are your clothes, sir." The waiter gave me my clean clothes.

"How can it be so fast?" Mumbles. I just remembered that there is magic in this world. And for things like cleaning the clothes for sure in this world using magic as well.

"Thank you." I said to the waiter.

After that, the waiter left. I rushed to the locker room I was using.

------ About 2 minutes later -------------

I finished changing clothes and came out of the dressing room. Outside I saw Rin waiting for me, and I saw that the clothes he was wearing were clean, "It seems that the servant also cleaned Rin's clothes." Mumbles.

"You're so long. Actually, what the hell are you doing inside?"

"I've only been in the dressing room for 2 minutes, has it been a long time?"

"I guess that guy could be faster. Yeah, let's go home now."

"All right."

We came out of the bath, and when we wanted to go out, there were a lot of people waiting in line to enter the bath.

Just like the innkeeper said, the more nights more people want to enjoy this bath.

Rin and I went back to the inn. In the middle of the journey.

Grrr. (Suppose starving stomach voice)

I was starving, and I just remembered that I haven't eaten anything since this morning.

At the edge of the street I saw a simple restaurant. "Do I eat there first?" Mumbles.

I saw Rin, as if she was starving too. "How about we eat first, it looks like there's a place to eat." I pointed at the dining place I mentioned earlier to Rin.

(Rin) No. coment.

"All right, we'll just eat there."

"After all, the money I got from the mission seemed to be less for eating in even more luxurious places. So better, I should be able to skimp." I murmured.

Rin and I walked over to the restaurant. We go inside, "Welcome, can I help you?" (employees)

A male employee greeted us.

"I want to order food."

"alright. Please sit down."

I then sat down.

Inside this restaurant, I only saw a few quite simple dining tables and also, there were only a few visitors who came to this place. I don't think this place has many customers, in my opinion.

Shortly after, the male employee gave me a book.

"This is the menu, sir. You can choose."

"Good."

I opened the menu book, and I don't know what menu she had at this restaurant. And because Rin can read the language in this world, so I leave this matter to her.

"Anu. Rin's. You can find a menu that is not too expensive, our money is still a little, and we better be able to save money." I gave the book to Rin.

"All right."

Rin picked up his menu book, then he chose.

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

"We'll just order this." (By)

"alright, miss. We'll be ready soon."

I don't know what Rin said, I don't know what the message was and I hope the food that Rin ordered wasn't too expensive. Because I only have 8 silver coins from completing the mission.

------- - A few minutes passed ----------------

I saw that the employee brought a tray with 2 types of food covered by a dessert made of aluminum and also two drinks, I do not know what it is.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir."

The employee placed the order ordered by Rin on the table, and opened the cover.

When the clerk opened the food cover, I was quite surprised to see what food Rin ordered, a food that was quite luxurious.

"This is your order, miss. Two special meals are available here."

"Busett!!! I told him to order some inexpensive food. He ordered a special meal, two more. Will I have enough money to pay for this meal." I muttered in a bit of panic.

"All right, all the masters." (officer).

"Ending already. How will I pay for it?!!" Mumbles.

"3 silver coins." (employee)

"Ehh."

"What's up, Hikari?" (Rin) asked with confusion.

"Yes, it's okay."

I gave the clerk the 3 silver coins I got earlier.

After I gave him 3 silver coins, the clerk left, and I was still wondering exactly why the special food was so cheap, what it tasted so bad.

"Hikari? Don't just shut up, let's eat."

"Ahl. Aye." Yeah."

I also ate the food Rin ordered. When I eat it. "Enak.." Mumbles.

I think this food tastes very good, and I'm quite surprised, why this food is so cheap when it tastes so good, I think this food will be very expensive.

"What's up, Hikari? Is the food bad?"

"Ah. Its alright. The food is so good."

"so.. Yes it is." Rin continued eating.

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

The food and drinks on the table are all gone.

"Ahl. I'm already full. What about you, Rin?"

(Rin) no coment.

"It seems he's full too." Mumbles.

Then I stood up. "Rin. Let's go back to the inn now. It's late."

"Good." Rin then stood up.

I walked out of the restaurant, and Rin followed me from behind.

"My money is only 5 silver coins, it looks like this will be enough for breakfast tomorrow." Thought.

"Ne. Hikari."

"Eh. Yep. What's up?"

"For breakfast tomorrow, we'll just go there again."

"Eh, why?"

"Uhs. The food there is very cheap, and also the taste of the food is also very good. So, how? We'll have breakfast there tomorrow."

"Hmmm... Alright."

----- Almost 10 minutes of walking, maybe --------

We finally got to the front of the inn. We went straight inside, and inside, there was still a waitress I had met this afternoon before coming to the bath.

"Ah. Master is coming again. Can I help you?"

I was surprised because he still remembered me.

"Emmm. I want to go back to my room." I said it while smiling.

"Ah.. So you're the customer at this inn?"

"Hm. Yeah, that's it."

"Sorry, sir. I didn't know you were a customer at this inn."

I don't know why he apologized. But, it seems that the customers in this inn are quite respected.

"Eh. Ahhhhh. Yeah, it's okay."

After that, the waiter left and I went back to my room, and Rin went back to her room.

Since there were no friends to talk to, I decided to go straight to sleep. And I didn't know that tomorrow there would be a disaster coming to this kingdom.
