Chapter 90
Chapter 87 Worries
Now then, since the golems have been defeated, I guess it’s time to collect the required amount of Ars Ores.
While thinking so, I headed towards the source of the Ars ore, when I heard the sound of footsteps coming my way. Ah, that’s right. I completely forgot about Risa who had been hiding behind the rocks. When I looked back, I could see Risa pounding towards me with quite a lot of momentum. Looking at her face, she appeared really quite excited.
She came near me and got really close to my face before starting to talk extremely enthusiastically.
[AMAZING, Yuma-san is really AMAZING! I never expected that Yuuma-san could stop all those golems with just a single blow! The magnitude of My
Hmm, I don’t mind her being so excited, but isn’t this a bit too close. Your face is seriously too close, moreover when I looked down, those bountiful b.r.e.a.s.t.s were sticking to my body. Those things are really dangerous.
[Ha ha, Thanks for the compliments. But really, aren’t the golems just too weak? I don’t really think that it is a monster that can only be killed with magic.]
When I said so, Risa shook her head,
[It’s not that easy! Indeed the Golem's might be really weak to Magic, but they are not Monsters that can be defeated by Lower Level versions of Fireball. Moreover I believe that only Yuuma can do such an outrageous thing.]
Hmm, although the reason for this is unknown, it seems that somehow my magic is more powerful than a regular Mage’s. Is this also Otherworlder's power correction. Or maybe it’s just because my Level is really high. Well it is fine either way, Right now I'm more interested with something else, and that is,
[Hey Risa, I seem to recall that you called yourself with [Boku 1] a moment ago]
Is Risa a Tom-Boy by any chance?
[......!!]
When I asked the question, Risa moved a little away from me. That’s a little disappointing. Then she started to speak in a depressed tone.
[Ha~a, When I get a little too excited, I revert to my previous self from a long time ago. It is quite hard to stop myself from doing so]
[From what I can see, you seem to be forcefully trying to change your personality, is there a reason for trying to so do?]
[There is. You saw me when I got a little excited right? In the past, when I used to call myself with [Boku] I was usually mistaken for being a BOY; I really used to hate being called that, so I stopped using the word [Boku]. Well, at least after that, I never had someone calling me a Man again.]
So that was the reason. Risa does certainly have quite a neutral looking face. The hair is indeed quite a bit shorter than other women. Actually, she might really be mistaken for being a boy when she was young. Even though she has a neutral face, she is quite a cute woman. I think that it's actually quite cute.
Most likely, the biggest reason she was not mistaken for being a boy these days is because she has changed her attire to a girly one. Atleast that’s what i wish to think.
[I get it now. I understand the circ.u.mstances now. Well~ even if Risa does change her way of calling herself, she is still quite girly so I just find it really cute.]
When I said so, Risa raised her face slowly,
[........Really?]
[Yes, really. Risa might think that it is difficult, but I think that it’s fine and that you should talk in the way that you find is the most comfortable. Also, the Risa who doesn't have troublesome things on her mind is the cutest. At least, that’s what I
When I said so, Risa’s face became very red, and then she started laughing,
[Fufu~, I never expected that a boy would ever tell me such a thing. Aa~a, I've been worrying about it for so long. That might be true indeed, what Yuuma said might certainly be true. Yes, I feel somewhat better now. I shall stop forcing myself to talk like a girl, and just be the way I am.]
Hmm, I didn't think that she'd been forcing herself for such a long time, I wonder if she is really fine with this.
Well~ since Risa’s worries have ended, it’s fine, But seriously Risa, she thinks that I am a boy…….should I tell her that I am not a boy. Alright, I guess it’s not fine to let this misunderstanding continue.
[It seems that you have misunderstood something. And I just want to correct the last thing at the end.]
Risa slowly looks up,
[w, what is it?]
[I am 25 this year. I am not at an age to be called a boy anymore. Sorry about that.]
Even after a few seconds pa.s.sed by,
Risa’s face remained hardened with surprise.
A few minutes later,
I helped Risa by storing all the Ars Ores we found into the Item box. At first I tried to only gather as much as required to complete the request, but then I decided change that after I heard from Risa that the Ars Ore sells for quite a high price, therefore I decided I to bring everything back with me.
[Fuu~, it is finally done~. Sorry for making you work so much Risa]
[It's not a problem. I was safely able to achieve so much of this, so it’s fine.]
Yes, then I guess this means that it's the end of the request.
We can just return to Forx right now. But,
[Risa, there are only a few hours until the sunset, I think that the sun will set before we can reach back home, therefore I think we should camp here for tonight. Fortunately, this place is the place where the three monsters lived and so there don’t seem to be any signs of monsters anywhere nearby, so I think this place is relatively safe.]
[Yeah. I also think we should stay overnight here Yuuma.]
[Then it’s decided.]
[Yes, if you think so then, Yuuma-kun, can you bring out my baggage that I brought with me]
Ah, that strangely heavy luggage huh. Speaking of the luggage I was quite interested in its contents. Taking it out from the item box, I slowly placed Risa’s luggage on the ground.
Then Risa took out something huge from inside. While pondering what it might be, I saw it.
It was a tent. Oh, there seems to be a tent even in another world. While thinking about that, Risa had a.s.sembled the entire tent in the blink of an eye. Hmm, although the quality of the tent is quite low as compared to my original world, this was still quite a splendid tent.
After that, we finished eating dinner together before Risa started getting ready to sleep as it was quite late into the night.
[Nee~ Yuuma-kun, Is it really fine? I just slept a few hours ago while you didn’t sleep at all right?]
[Yeah, it's fine. I definitely can’t allow the client to keep watch. And besides, I don’t need any sleep. I will wake you as soon as the sun rises, so sleep tight until then.]
[Yes, I understand. Then I'll take you up on your offer and get some shut-eye. See you tomorrow Yuuma-kun.]
[Yeah, Good night Risa.]
After that, time slowly pa.s.sed by.
The next day,
When I looked at the sky, the sun was rising slowly, so I called out toRisa who was still sleeping.
[Oi Risa, Its time. Get up.]
…..there is no reply.
No matter how many times I call out to her, there was still no reply. She seems to be sleeping quite deeply. Hmm, then I guess it can’t be helped. I opened the tent* door and went inside.
And then, {*EN: last time I checked tents had flaps not doors}
[Hmm, she has a terrible sleeping pose.]
Risa was sleeping in the middle of the tent in a really weird position.
What is this, she sleeps like a child. Oops, it would be bad to stare for too long. Let's wake her up quickly. Then I started to shake sleeping Risa's shoulders.
[Oi Risa, it’s already quite late. Quickly wake up.]
And soon, Risa woke up and slowly raised her body. But when I looked at her face she still seemed to be drowsy. Lisa was still half-asleep and was looking at the surrounding. Then, she finally seemed to notice that I was standing there and then suddenly,
[Wh, wh wh why are you inside the tent Yuuma!?]
[No, I have been trying to wake you up for quite a while. I called out to you a few times from outside the tent, but you still didn't wake up, so I came inside to wake you up.]
[Is –is that so. It was my mistake. I'm really sorry.]
[Quickly get ready for breakfast, and come out as soon as you're ready please. Also, if you keep your belly exposed like that then you will quickly catch a cold so it would be better to wear your clothes properly.]
Saying so, I quickly exited the tent
I heard something like a scream coming from the tent, but I don’t mind it.
After that the two of us ate breakfast.
After finis.h.i.+ng our breakfast, we packed up the tent and went down the Golem Mountain Range.
And few hours later, we were able to successfully leave the Golem Mountain range safely.
After that I just need to run back to Forx.
[Risa are you ready?]
I asked Risa if she was fine with the Princess carry she was in.
[Yes, I'm always ready.]
[Alright, then let's go.]
Then it’s time to go back home, to Forx.
