"Haha! Let's find a place to stay?"
Embarrassed, I pretended not to hear Yuno's words.
"Lily, your arms and legs are coming out together."
Ugh, is the turmoil in my heart outwardly revealed?
Anyway, we decided to go down to the village and sell the jewelry I had to pay for the trip.
Yuno said he would build a house with magic, but that would be too noticeable.
Yuno agreed with me to stay quiet, wondering if news would reach the ears of my senior, Shish, and Dietrich, and find me. You say you're going to monopolize me, so yo u seem to be serious.
I didn't want to be caught by other main characters at a critical point when I had to find a way back to the original time zone and complicate the situation.
"No more, no more to sell?"
It's a fairly big city, so I tried to trade at a jewelry store, but the jeweler's eyes turned away.
Of the ten emerald decorations on the necklace I was wearing around my neck, only four were removed.
"How about this?"
"Oh, oh, that's good. Is there more?"
"Is it possible to pay? How much is going in hit each one?"
"Wait. Can I give it to you with gold coins?"
"Please mix in the silver coins as well."
I received 60 gold coins, including the silver ornaments I had offered earlier, mixed with gold and silver coins.
"Please come again next time."
"Yes."
To get a good price, you have to visit several stores, but I didn't do that because it was troublesome.
"Should we find a place to stay first? You don't know the house where we can go back to our original time zone, do you?"
"That's right. I've been researching ways to go back in time."
"How can we go to the future? Since the present we are in is the future at this point, wouldn't we be able to do it?"
"I think it's safe to say that I haven't researched how to get to the future. I'm more interested in the past than the future..."
Yuno bit his pink lips slightly and soon shook his head from side to side, saying it was nothing.
Crumble.
At that moment, a rumbling sound echoed from my stomach.
"Let's eat first and think about it."
Yuno, who laughed and pulled my hand.
We stayed in a two-story, L-shaped building. Fortunately, there was a spare room.
"We are one body, so we have to share the same room."
Since Yuno was crying, I took a room.
"The two of you are so cute. Of course, you should share a room."
"Oh, uncle! Please make the bed big."
"I'll give you the largest room in our building."
No, it doesn't have to be...
I accepted because I'd rather spend more money than have Yuno hold me and make me groan every night.
Fortunately, the room was comfortable, and there was a restaurant on the first floor of the building, so it was good to have a meal.
"It's all from here to here."
I opened the menu and ordered a large amount, and the waiter was quite surprised.
"It's okay, hurry up."
I eat well, but Yuno is still growing.
Yuno, who was on the thin side, ate so much food that it was hard to tell where it was going. I mean, the tasteless food from the Magic Tower. Taste didn't matter to him.
"I don't know the joy of life."
"What?"
"I'm here, and let's eat a lot of delicious food."
I came into the book in the first place. Do you think I'd be confused if I came to the past?
Oh, I was a little embarrassed, actually quite embarrassed.
But there were still a lot of parts that didn't feel real. Part of it was because I was relaxed, not having anything I absolutely had to do back in my original time zone.
"Is there a hint in this necklace? It's a way to go back in time."
Yuno accepted the gold pendant I handed him. He injected magic and muttered something to himself and looked at it, but the pendant no longer glowed.
"I think the magic on this necklace is over. Usually, magical items that are teleported are one-shot, and this one is no different."
"Really?"
"Yes. I swear on my heart that I am serious."
Hmm. He's not lying just to be here.
Soon, the food started to come out one by one, and as expected, Yuno quickly and silently ate it all.
"Oh, the food is pretty good."
The food at the restaurant was so delicious that even I, a gourmet who had eaten the food of Milanger and the palace chefs, was impressed.
"Our chef is very good."
A cheerful employee intervened.
"If yoy get a chance later, try the cold bath steamed noodles too."
"Yes. I'll definitely eat that tomorrow."
Yuno kept stuffing himself with food, unable to tell if it was tasty or not. That's why the food at Magic Tower kept getting tasteless.
By the way, it's the 110th year of the imperial calendar
In 123, Yuno was twenty years old, so 13 years ago, he would have been seven. At seven, he would have been sold into slavery.
“Ugh, squeak.”
"Lily? What's wrong? Poison?"
I waved my hand at Yuno, who seemed about to destroy the store. Then I drank some water.
"It's just that the food went down the wrong path."
Poison? Where does that idea come from?
"By the way, Yuno, isn't the food at this place delicious?"
"Yes."
"What was the most delicious?"
“Everything?”
Looking at Yuno, who was tilting his head, it seemed like, as usual, there was nothing tasty or tasteless.
Well, he's already unimpressed with the food prepared by Milanger's chef, so it's unlikely he'll react any differently now.
"Lily, let's finish eating and then go out."
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Not at all.”
Even though he'd been out and about a lot during the day, Yuno didn't seem tired at all. He's got incredible stamina; you'd think he'd be the main character.
If you think about it, I'm the main character, too. Why am I so weak and lacking any special abilities? It's unfair.
"Lily, let's go out. Yes?"
"You go alone. I'll rest."
Despite my refusal, Yuno kept insisting that we go out together, and I had no choice but to follow him.
Outside, dusk was falling.
"What do you think, Yuno? Do you think we can go back to our original time?"
"I don't know yet. More importantly, Lily."
"Huh?"
"Do we really need to go back to the original time right now?"
“Huh?”
I was taken aback by the sudden question.
"There's no rush. I don't know how to get back right away, but I can stay here a little longer and then leave."
Yuno's golden eyes, with his back to the streetlights lit up all over the city, were darker than usual.
“Isn’t it?”
"You're right."
Anyway, if I go back to my original time, I'll just be playing and eating.
"Then, first, let's take a look at this city. Find out where it is in the empire and what its characteristics are."
"Yes."
The city was quite developed, and the streets were bustling with people until late. Shops were also thriving, so we were able to easily acquire a map from a bookstore.
"Let's see... what is this? It's the southernmost point of the empire."
The sea seen here was completely different from the sea in the capital.
"Yuno, you know the place..."
I kept my mouth shut as Yuno's face darkened even more as he looked at the map.
What on earth is going on with Yuno making that kind of expression?
"Yuno, what's wrong? Is this a familiar area?"
After I came out of the bookstore, I asked quietly, and Yuno suddenly stopped walking and looked down at me.
“You don’t know?”
"Yes?"
"Is this an area you don't know? Not at all?"
"Huh? Yes. It's the first time I've heard the name of a city."
Yuno, who had been watching me for a while, made an expression I'd never seen before. His lips twisted into a smile.
"You're a rookie, so is there anything you don't know?"
I said I'm not God....
"This world, you created it."
But it's been out of my hands for a long time...
As I hesitated and sat still, Yuno suddenly dashed ahead. This was the first time I'd seen Yuno like this, usually either smiling brightly or frowning, so I followed him at a distance.
My head is already complicated, so why are you doing this, too?
"Oops."
In the meantime, as I passed by, I bumped into someone's shoulder, and my hood came off.
"Sorry."
I bowed my head in apology, but the other person didn't leave my presence. Instead, he smiled brightly at me.
"You're my type! Come meet me!"
This guy looks fine, so why are you saying that all of a sudden?
The problem is that, starting with this man, the people around me suddenly started rushing at me like a swarm.
"Oh! That's my style! Lady, will you be my woman?"
"Me too! I'll run for office too!"
Oh my god, am I just showing off my charm here for no reason?
Several men surrounded me, and I was embarrassed as I had nowhere to run, but I was shaking.
A terrifying sound echoed beneath the men's feet. Lightning struck, sending a jolt of electricity through them.
A hooded man burrowed between the men who were running away. He grabbed my hand tightly and gave a warning to the people around him.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out."
