CH 335

“Ahahaha, Urka, you looked good♪.”

“I wish you wouldn’t do that, it’s bad for my heart …… I’m sorry, Milfy-san, for taking part in Helena’s pranks.”

“N-No! I was rather happy to see your sleeping face ……”

“What?”

Makina and Helena were doing the devilish thing of dragging the inquiring Milfie into Urka’s room and whispering good morning in his ear.

Only I, Makina, and Helena know that the plan was successful, and the moment the sleepy Urka noticed Milfy, they bumped foreheads and almost kissed.

“I’m sorry, Urka. But, it’s been a while since I felt like when we’re at the academy and it was kind of fun.”

“Even Makina would say something like that? Lars, you have to stop your girlfriend.”

“I’m sorry, I had some fun too ……”

When I said that, Urka smiled and patted me on the back, saying, “Sometimes, Lars can be mean”. Then Nora, who was behind me, started laughing and talking.

“I think I would have liked to have seen that. We had a lot of fun at the academy, didn’t we?”

“Well, yes, we did. I also gained confidence thanks to Lars and the others, and I’m grateful for that.”

“You guys are really close. I envy you!”

“Y-Yeah.”

Milfy smiles beside Urka and Urka blushes and looks away. Umu, now that you’re a little more aware, it seems Helena’s recklessness was not in vain. 

“Should we start at the shopping district?”

“Yeah, since the town is large, the shopping district is large too, so there is a lot to see. The plaza is nice, too.”

“I’d like to visit the square! It’s the place where Chelle-chan found Sephiro, after all.”

“Maybe we can stop by there later when I go  to the tamer facility with Ash and the others.”

“Yeah! I wonder if Ash and the others are behaving well?”

Aina looks up at me, her mouth agape. She sounded worried, but in fact, she was unhappy that she couldn’t take them with her. We left the monsters at home as part of their training, so it’s just us here.

It’s not like they’re completely left behind, because Fath-san has stayed home, saying that the young ones along should go play …… And of course, Sarge, too.

“Then let’s have a quick look around the shopping district before lunch♪. I think I need some clothes.”

“Ah, that’s a good idea.”

“Uhhh …… It’s nice that the two people of you have good style.”

“I’m jealous because I’m tiny too ……”

The women seemed to have decided their destination, and they gathered and began to move. I ended up with us following them, and I called out to Makina.

“Makina, if you see something you want, tell me, okay? I want to give you a gift once in a while.”

“Thank you!”

“Mm-Mhm, you’re still not good enough, Lars. Shouldn’t you pick something you think Makina will like, buy it secretly and give it to her later?”

“Oh, that would be nice too.”

As I scratch the back of my head, smiling at Helena, Urka is standing beside me.

“…… I see.”

He was muttering with a straight face. Is there a promising development in this ……?

“Lars-niichan, Dedite-niichan, over there! Weapon shop!”

“Haha, I think Aina is too young for that.”

“Aina can already fight with a wooden sword! Tilia-chan’s dad says I’ve got good muscles, just like Lars-niichan.”

“Tigre-sensei ……”

I stroked Aina and resumed our stroll through town, thinking that I might have to talk to him the next time I return.

You can find a lot of different types of clothing, accessories, sundries, weapon shops and souvenir shops. If they find something interesting, we wander into the store.

“You are Helena-san, the idol ……!? I didn’t know that you would buy clothes from my store ……!”

“Ahaha, good things are good, you know. Lars, the dull-looking guy over here, designs our outfits.”

“What!? Lars-Irving-sama!? So You were Helena-san’s lover!?”

“That’s not true!”

“Lars-niichan is Aina’s brother!”

At the clothing store, Helena’s disguise was easily spotted, and for some reason, she jumped on me, which made Makina furious. Aina was saying some disturbing things, but I didn’t pay attention to them.

“A Ring ……”

“When is Lars going to marry Makina?”

“I-, I feel like it could be any time, but with Makina’s training, I think it’ll be when I’ve achieved my goal of having them learn more about the skill [Jack-of-all-Trades].”

“If it’s okay with both of you, it’s fine, but I feel like Lars’ goal is going to take up a lot of your life, and I think it’s fine if it’s after Makina-chan’s succession is over. “

In the accessory shop, my brother asked me about marriage, and when I replied, he softly persuades me. It’s like he’s telling me in a roundabout way, “Don’t let her get away, okay.”.

Well, I guess we’ll have to wait and see, with Basleigh-sensei staying with us and Fath-san training with us? Even so, It’s a secret to Makina that I’m planning to ask her to marry before she turn 20. For the wedding ring ……  I want a good jewel.

As I was thinking about this, I noticed Urka looking at the accessory intently and called out to him.

“Did you find something you like, Urka?”

“Uhya!? …… La-, Lars, don’t startle me.”

“I was just called out to you in a normal way, though …… You were looking very intently, so I thought you might have wanted something.”

When I said that, Urka glanced at the women gathering around and asked me.

“Has it been long since Lars has met Milfy-san ……? Do you know what kind of accessories she likes?”

Fumu …… That thing in the morning seems to have had quite an effect. Obviously, he’s more aware of her than he was yesterday. Milfy is cute because she wants to be an idol, and although she has a tendency to run wild, she fits in very well with Urka’s simplicity. I want to help him here, but–

“I’m sorry, Urka. We haven’t known each other that long, so I don’t know much about her except that she likes sweets like pudding. I’m sure Helena has known her for a long time, so why don’t you ask her?”

“N-No, asking Helena is not good!? Did you forget about this morning!?”

“Y-Yeah ……”

Urka blushed and backed away from me as I crowded him. As Urka returned to his selection, I pondered for a moment, then stealthily approached Makina. 

“Makina.”

“I’ve got some money from the request, so getting at least one is …… eh, Lars? What’s wrong, coming here stealthily.”

“I want to talk to you about something ask–“

I called Makina from the shadows, explains the situation, and she smiles and heads straight for Helena. Fortunately, she was separated from Milfy, so there was no difficulty in telling her. She went to Urka just like that and turned his ears towards the three of them. Now, will it work?

Will Urka’s love life work ……? Love for idols is!?

Thank you for reading!

“It’s a faraway place, so even if they go out ……”

Now, now, don’t say that. You can expect what happens next, I guess?
