What Came to Mind During My Third Time in Another World Was to for Now, Get Naked. Chapter 31

《Etherclan》in front of the main gate.

「Stop! From what town did you come from, what is your purpose in 《Etherclan》–」

The usual dangerous, heavily armored guard stopped us.

「(H-hey…/// This girl, I think she’s Kazuha-chan right?///)」

The soldier glares at me while the other whispers into his ear.

「(……. Hm? …… Aah! The tiny breasted runner-up who’s strength was on par with Alzein……!)」

Hey.
I heard that.

「(…… You’re famous eh? Kazuha……)」(Tao)

「(…… Is it not just because you caused a problem in this town?)」(Ruru)

Hey. You little girl. Change your way of putting things.

「(…… Fuuuuun~ What a pain…… I’ll just use my 《Darkness》 magic to–)」(Selen)

Selen-.
Would you please not act violently before we even arrive-.

「Uhmm……/// I-. I’ve just returned from《Farthest Town》~./// Can you please let us through?///」(Kazuha)

「「「(Uge……)」」」(Selen, Tao, Ruru)

……Don’t say anything you three.

「Ye-……yeah/// Please be careful while entering///」

The guards moved their giant spears aside and let us through.

「Please do your best in your jobs~///」(Kazuha)

「「「…」」」

Like I said, don’t look at me with such eyes.
This is my job too.
Not really though……

We then safely entered the town of 《Etherclan.》

「Ah-, oh yeah. Can I stop by Jii-san’s place for a bit?(Kazuha)

I leave Tao to register at an inn and head towards the Blacksmith shop in the outskirts of town.

「…… Kazuha. Can I come with you?」(Selen)

「Eh? Aah, do what you want……」(Kazuha)

「Then, me and Ruru-chan will go set aside a room at the inn, kay~」(Tao)

「……….. As I expected you really do get along…… *Ji—-*」(Ruru)

I feel a scornful stare, but I’ll leave Ruru to Tao.

「『The Blacksmith Artisan Zegius Bahamuth』 eh……. Fu…… what 『karma』 huh……」(Maou)

「?」(Kazuha)

Selen was muttering something but whatever.

I take Selen with me and head to the blacksmith’s hut.。

「Hey~, Jii-san. You here?」(Kazuha)

*Hyu*!

「Whoa!」(Kazuha)

He’s still continuing this head-attack greeting huh……
That’s dangerous!

Like always , upon entering the small hut I head towards the seat I usually use.
And the always carrying smithy tools and working Jii-san appeared.
Eh……?
Don’t tell me he hasn’t moved from that position since I’ve left……

…… Of course not.

「…… Oh. It’s Kazuha, eh」(Zegius)

「Ossu-. I just returned-」(Kazuha)

「…… I’ll intrude. Zegius.」(Selen)

「Unn? …… !! Y-you’re Granzyme!! Why is the Maou with Kazuha!?」(Zegius)

The Jii-san stood with his mouth gaping open.
Hey, are you okay. Did your heart stop?
I don’t want that. I don’t want to use CPR on you.
Absolutely not.

「…… Long time no see Zegius. It’s been half a century…… hasn’t it」(Selen)

「Eh」(Kazuha)

「…… Good grief…… Kazuha always surprises me…… As expected this time my life span has shortened……」(Zegius)

No, no, no.
I don’t care about your life span.
Rather it’s been 『half a century』 since you’ve seen Selen?
Then how old is she?

Ah, no, I’ve prepared myself concerning her age since she’s not human, but……
Hearing it personally is really shocking~.

「Ah. So, Jii-san. I didn’t steal the cursed sword in the end so I brought her instead~」(Kazuha)

「…… So you lost. To her……」(Zegius)

「…… Well, yes. …… With the 『fake sword』 that you made too.」(Selen)

Aah, Selen-chan is depressed.

「This girl…… Kazuha’s 『power,』what is it really……? You must know something, right?」(Selen)

「Hey! So that’s why you followed me! Jii-san don’t tell her anything! My secret!」(Kazuha)

「…」

「…」

「……….. Ah」(Kazuha)

I just blew my secret to Jii-san.
I’m such an idiot……

「…… What do you plan on doing after hearing it? Granzyme.」(Zegius)

s.h.i.+t.
If Selen found out that I was the hero that appeared in her 『dreams』……
Next time she will probably shoot beams out of her eyes……

「……」

「……」

Eh？ What? What’s with this pause?
I don’t want this, it’s making my heart beat fast!

「………….. Fu……. . Listening is boorish is what you mean, huh.」(Selen)

Selen broke.
For the mean time there’s no beam.

「…… Someday, you’ll hear it from that 『person.』」(Zegius)

Seriously-.
So I’m gonna say it to her?
『I won’t let you! You decimated my body 2 times!』 she’ll say.

…….
I can’t say it……
I’ll absolutely won’t say it……

That I was digging for gold during my 『second time』 and the like……
I absolutely…… Won’t say it……

「For the mean time, I’ll pour some tea. And the bath is already warmed up.」(Zegius)

Jii-san stood up and poured the tea.

Well, I am tired-.

I’ll just take it slowly here at Jii-san’s.
