𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟑: 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝
After expressing my gratitude and bowing energetically, Tyran-san smiled faintly.
“If that’s the case, hurry up and prepare. We’re leaving.”
“Huh, are we going today?”
“I have some free time after this. Besides, it’s been almost a year. I don’t know when I’ll be summoned for festival preparations.”
The festival is a celebration of the day when demons and humans made a pact.
I see, it’s been about a year since then. It feels like time has flown by.
There is a one and a half month difference depending on whether we celebrate the day reported in the newspaper or the day the hero and his party returned, but it’s a story that doesn’t concern me since I have no intention of participating in the festival.
Although Tyran-san intends to participate in the preparations, it seems he has no intention of attending on the day. He complains that it’s troublesome.
Nevertheless, he seems enthusiastic about going to the bookstore and immediately starts drawing a teleportation magic circle.
Usually, he activates magic without drawing circles, but this time, it seems he decided to draw because I will also accompany him and the distance is far.
While Tyran-san is preparing, I return to the room. I unlock the drawer and open the salary envelope. Since I hardly spend it, it keeps accumulating.
I take out a little more and transfer it to the wallet that I haven’t used since coming here. I stuff the bulging wallet into my pocket and return to the king’s chamber. The teleportation circle is already prepared.
“I will cast a transformation spell.”
“Please.”
Wrapped in a gentle warmth, I transform into a different person. When I slowly open my eyes, there is an unfamiliar man standing in front of me.
“Did Tyran-san also cast a transformation spell today?”
“We have a brother and sister setting. Come on, let’s go.”
“Yes.”
I am led by the arm and enter the circle.
This is the second time using teleportation magic.
The first time, I was sent to the demon realm without understanding anything, and the second time, I returned to the familiar human realm.
The hand that is held is warm, just like Tyran-san’s magic.
“Well then, here I go.”
“Enjoy your long-awaited time in the human realm.”
I wave my hand to Demon King-sama, and everything in front of me turns pure white.
After the dazzling light fades, I slowly open my eyes. If I look around, there are only trees. It seems we have teleported into a forest.
“Please get off.”
“Ah, yes.”
When I step out of the magic circle, Tyran-san crouches down on the spot. While tracing the magic circle, he mutters something.
When he stands up straight, the pattern that was floating above the ground disappears completely. It seems he cast a spell. Perhaps to prevent it from being misused.
“The bookstore… is this way.”
I follow Tyran-san, we quickly come out onto a busy street.
Various shop signs line the street. It’s not as crowded as the capital, but it seems we have teleported to a bustling city.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
We run, and I stand next to Tyran-san.
My face reflected in the shop window is quite different from my usual appearance. However, it looks quite similar to Tyran-san’s current face. If someone were to say we are siblings, I would understand.
“By the way, why did we set ourselves as siblings?”
“Around here, if a boy and girl of our age walk together, they will be targeted by street vendors. Especially be careful of the shops selling accessories. Among the various street vendors, those types of shops are the most troublesome.”
“Has Tyran-san been approached like that before?”
Imagining him walking together like today, with a girl of the same age, my chest twinges.
But instead of recalling precious moments with a loved one, Tyran-san’s face contorts as if recalling a terrible memory.
“I was persistently approached as a lover. When I said I didn’t have one, they recommended a bracelet with a love charm… I had a hard time escaping. Still, it was better than others who had a lover or gave vague answers. It seemed they wouldn’t let them go until they made a purchase.”
“T-That sounds tough.”
“From our perspective, it may be troublesome, but from their perspective, it’s business.”
Even though it’s a tourist spot, they wouldn’t go as far as approaching individual customers.
The incident where Tyran-san almost got caught by a stall was just an irregularity. Or maybe they approached him because they were convinced he had a girlfriend.
Tyran-san has a handsome face. He’s good at taking care of others and skilled in magic. It wouldn’t be strange if he had a girlfriend.
It wouldn’t be strange if the stall owner misunderstood.
That’s what I thought, but when I actually walked around, I came to realize the truth in his words.
