When I went out into the city, I changed from my school clothes to my normal clothes.

Even though it was a normal outfit, it was almost the same as after taking off the team uniform, just wearing something like a vest on top.

Well, it's easy because I don't know my face and I don't have to disguise myself, but my seniors and Leona Mr./Ms. don't do that.

 

"Did you really want me to follow you?"

"It's bound to be good, isn't it?"

 

I answer to Mr./Ms. Leona, who murmurs hesitantly in front of the inn.

Now she is dressed in plain clothes, not a knight, and her hair is down in a knot.

It's quite strange, and even just changing your hairstyle makes it look completely different.

 

"You're right, Usato-kun, you shouldn't think it's a nuisance."

"In fact, I'm just happy to be able to work with them in this way."

 

A senior wearing date glasses and a beret says so.

Instead of wearing a ponytail for the convenience of wearing a hat, she wears her long hair in a braid, which she calls herself a "literary girl style".

It's a good idea to change your impression just by doing that.

 

"Oh, I see...... I'm glad to be with you again."

 

Mr./Ms. says this shyly, and both I and my seniors smile.

 

"Well, I'm going!!"

"Why is this guy so upset......

 

Nea, who has changed from an owl to her usual black-haired, red-eyed girl, urges her to go ahead with a lot of excitement.

Ferm, who is assimilated with me, mutters to herself.

It's not like I don't know because I'm a curious guy by nature, but .......

 

"Is Ferm okay?"

"No problem, let me know if you see something delicious at the stall."

"Yes Yes"

 

…… Maybe I need a break for some reason.

I'm not going to take it off, but I'm going to take the strength out of my shoulders.

 

●

 

Walk from the place where the inn is located and head to the crowded castle town.

Since it is before a big festival called the Hero Festival, the city is crowded with people, and various shops and events are open.

 

"When you look at it this way, it looks like a festival that me and my seniors know."

"It's a different format, but the atmosphere is very similar."

 

What comes to mind is the kind of food stalls you see at summer festivals or something like that.

The difference is the scale and what they sell, but the price is not so high and it seems that you can easily go around.

 

"Kamherio seems to be a country where commerce is thriving in addition to the belief in heroes, and it is said that the cultures of various countries intersect because of its location in the center of the continent."

"Wow, that's why you also sell some familiar food."

 

As I was admiring Leona's Mr./Ms.'s words, my eyes suddenly stopped on one of the stalls.

A large piece of meat passed through an iron rod is roasted in a fire generated by a magical tool.

The stall owner Mr./Ms. seems to be scraping the meat with a knife on the surface with a beautiful grilled surface, placing it in a bowl and handing it to the customer.

 

"That's a cooking method called broiling, which is often used by knights on expeditions."

"Oh, I know, it's a story that spread from the fact that when you cook animals hunted in the forest, you don't have time to dismantle them into small pieces, so you stab them with swords or spears, lean them against the ground, and roast them on a fire."

"Oh, you know so well."

"Hmmm."

 

Nea is praised by Leona Mr./Ms. and becomes proud.

Listening to their commentary, my seniors and I first thought of kebabs...... I see, it's a sword and spear cooking method, so it's like it's spread.

 

"Usato, I want to eat that."

"I thought I'd say, I'm going to buy that."

"I'm going to eat too, so let's all go."

"Well, I'm getting hungry too."

 

Since everyone is going to eat together, the four of us move to the front of the stall and order grilled meat for five people, including Ferm.

 

"Broiled meat, for 5 people, please."

"Yes."

 

When I hand over the money, the woman who owns the shop grinds the grilled meat into a bowl with her accustomed hands.

In no time at all, we are given five plates of meat each, and we move to a table near the stall.

 

"Look, Ferm."

"I've been waiting for you!"

 

He passes the vessel he holds into the back of his vest to Ferm, who is assimilating.

From the side, it would look like the vessel was being sucked into my body, but I wouldn't be able to see it because the senior next to me was a wall.

 

"Did you come here for sightseeing?"

 

Perhaps the shop was just vacant, but the owner Mr./Ms. who was interested in us talked to us with a friendly smile.

 

"Oh, yes, I heard that there is a big festival from the Ringle Kingdom."

"Ringle Kingdom!? Speaking of the Ringle Kingdom, isn't it a country where famous heroes live?"

 

Are you surprised that the Ringle Kingdom is just a thing?

Well, from the point of view of the people of Calmherio, it is natural that the Ringle Kingdom has Senpai and Kazuki, who are heroes who were active in the battle against the Demon King's army.

The senior sitting next to me is smiling wryly.

 

"What kind of person is the hero of the Ringle Kingdom?"

"Uh-huh......

 

I glance at her, but she gives me a small smile ——— gives me a thumbs up.

This person is going to let me talk ......!?

I can't leave it to Leona's Mr./Ms., and Nea is out of the question...... I can't help it, I have to speak.

 

"He is a cheerful and reliable person."

"yes, yes."

"For me, no, he is also an irreplaceable person for the Ringle Kingdom."

"Irreplaceable ......!?"

"The Hero of Light"

"That's it!?"

 

He passed the senior who had a small reaction, and when he looked at the Mr./Ms. shopkeeper, he nodded in satisfaction.

 

"The Hero of Light is a noble person who is not contrary to rumors, do you know that? It seems that the Hero of Thunder and the Healing Wizard Usato-sama have arrived today."

"Oh, is that so?"

"It's surprising that not only the hero, but also the healing wizard Usato!!"

 

Hey, wait.

I'm too scared to ask, but why is my name as well-known as the hero in Calmhelio?

I bet that he was praised for his achievements in fighting the Demon King and turning ...... magic power!

 

"Come to think of it, it's all Mr./Ms., maybe it's your lover or something?"

 

I was a little relieved that he changed the subject, but there was a more difficult question to answer.

Senpai and Leona Mr./Ms. roll their eyes in surprise, but I'm also a little impatient.

 

「「!?」」

"Oh, no, no, no."

"What's wrong? Well, I thought so."

 

Why ...... disappointed?

It seems that it can be used as a way to hide one's identity, but I don't have the courage to play it that way, so I'll deny it.

Then, with a grin and a wicked smile, Nea put her hand around my arm.

 

"Hehe, I'm a wife."

"Hmmm"

"Goho!?"

 

Nea was about to tell a joke, but before she could do so, she was hit by Ferm's hand sword that flew out of my torso and she fainted in agony.

Why did you try to do it when you denied it...... I'll make it up before you misunderstand me.

I point with my hand to Nea, who is fainting in agony.

 

"This is my sister."

"No, Imo!?"

"Surely you have the same hair color, so what about that girl?"

"Yes, sister."

"Whew!?"

 

Why are my seniors gushing out now!?

- I wanted to be called an older sister!

While rubbing the back of a choking senior, he casually tries to change the subject.

 

"I came here with my family."

"Travel all the way from the Ringle Kingdom...... Your family is close. So, is that blonde Mr./Ms. your wife?"

 

Mr./Ms., who suddenly turned to the brunt, turned red in the face and became frustrated.

 

"What!? Oh, oh Mr. Mr./Ms.!? Oh, that's ......!?"

"Just kidding, kidding! Aha!!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!!"

"Oh...... Yes! Let's enjoy the festivities!!"

 

I saw off the owner Mr./Ms. as he returned to the stall and smiled bitterly, and I looked at the seniors again.

Mr./Ms. Leona flushed her face with a senior who still can't get out of some kind of damage to Nea who is glaring at me with jito eyes.

…… yes, I didn't get hit by a demon's attack, but I'm in a half-destroyed state.

 

"Hey, why am I your sister?!" I'm not convinced!?"

"Well, then, what was good?"

「……」

 

Nea, who crossed her arms, wondered if she hadn't decided in particular.

As for me, I just said it randomly on the spot, so I don't have to worry about it so much.

 

"Come to think of it, I don't mind if it's my sister, ♪ brother."

「…… No, I'm getting goosebumps, so please stop."

"Isn't it rude!?"

 

I'm seriously scared, so I want you to stop normally.

Rather, I slightly regretted adding a new variation to the nair.

As I was being shaken by Nea, Ferm, who was assimilating with me, made a satisfied voice.

 

"It was delicious, I still want to eat it."

"......, you can eat for me."

"Are you sure? Thank you.'

 

Since it is not touched at all, it is replaced so that it can be replaced with a ferm vessel.

…… Considering the environment of the Demon Lord's Domain, there would have been few opportunities to eat delicious food like this, and I would like to fulfill their requests as much as possible.

But...... I never thought that Ferm would heal my heart in this way.
