Chapter 19
"Lime of the Silver Sword"
“Did you forget anything?”
“No, I got everything I need”
I ask him a question and Jotaro answered while picking up his bag. Ma~ even though I said bag, it just looks like a small sack. We are in front of the Mansion Gate, Jotaro is about to leave with Vine-san. It would be nice if our cellphones are working so that we can still talk with each other even if we are far away from each other but as expected, that is too much to ask.
“Well then, off I go. Take care of Henko-chan for me Takeo-kun”
“Yeah, leave her to me. I will make sure not a fly will approach her”
“Hey, I can take care of myself you know?”
With that said, Vine-san made a slight bow to me and Henko and turn her back following Jotaro from behind. Hmmm? Shouldn't it be the other way around? It should be Vine-san guiding Jotaro…. …. … well, whatever. The important part is me and Henko. It will be just the two of us tonight.
“Well then, should we head to practice?”
“Hm? Did you forgot? That loli elf has something to do, we are free for today”
“Is that so? I totally forgot”
Yeah, no wonder. Since Henko don't listen and goes into her own world after training. Henko diligently continue her training in Aikido, other than that… I think her character is becoming more… wild? Maybe because her skill is more about punching, she is starting to look like a delinquent. She had difficulty at beginning since Aikido doesn't have much punches however an elderly elf started to teach her a martial art from this world. Thanks to that, Henko after the training session will stay behind and continue to train in secret.
When I watch one time, the martial art in a glance is somewhat similar to karate but it is actually quite different. I have no idea how strong Henko is right now but even before we are sent into this world, I haven't won against her except in Nakenjutsu. What did you say? I let her win because I like her? No way… I was serious in Aikido. It is a chance for me to touch any parts of her body you know? However, every time we spar I always find myself spinning down to the ground. I cannot touch her, not even once. I have no doubt that you can call her a genius but I guess Jotaro is a little bit better than her. So, what is Jotaro? A super genius, I guess.
“We don't get a day off quite often. What do you say? Want to explore the city? We've been here for how many weeks already yet we still haven't tour around”
Woooooooo! What do you think of that? A casual way of inviting Henko to a date. I need to make a good impression throughout the day so I can set the mood later tonight.. Kukuku! Hehehe!
“You have a perverted face right now”
“Geh! W-what are you talking about? This is my normal face”
“I don't trust that face. I know that you are not a pervert but sometime, I can't help but think that, especially when you make that face”
I am not a pervert!! I am just a man of culture! I am also loyal, I don't think of any other girl. While I was thinking that, Henko made a heavy sigh as if giving up on something.
“Ma~ Whatever, let's go see what we can find. I hope we can find something interesting”
Yahoo! Secret Invitation for Date complete! I'm so happy I want to hug her, but of course I will not do that.
“Let's go”
Walking around town, we found a bakery called “Open Bread”. We bought some and eat in the plaza. We are not just training, we need to adapt on this world as well so we are actually doing simple jobs here and there. Except our big source of income is Henko's healing magic. Apparently, a healer is expensive that ranges from 500kyo to 1000kyo depending on the injury or sickness. Of course not all sickness is can be healed with magic but its another matter if its injury. As long as the person is not dead, Henko can heal him. Oh, kyo is the currency used in this world. According to Vine-san kyo is used throughout the whole world and there is a country that manages it, I forgot the name of the country though. There are no paper money in this world as well. Everything is in copper or silver like coin and it is divided to 1kyo, 5kyo, 10kyo, 50kyo, 100kyo, 500kyo, 1000kyo and 10000kyo.
Anyway, Jotaro and I are just doing odd jobs like cleaning the roof or construction stuff but Henko is running around healing anyone who are injured or sick. At the end of the day, Jotaro and I will only bring home around 500-600kyo while Henko will come home with around 1000-2000kyo. Ma~ we are not doing the job everyday though since living in this world is so cheap. Just like this bread that we bought, it only cost 5kyo and the size of it is half as big as a soccer ball. Apparently, there is no issue with food in this city because there is a huge well taken care farm to the south of the city and a hunting forest to the north.
While sitting in the plaza we eat our bread while watching our surroundings. Every elf walking in this place are smiling. There are kids running around, although I'm not sure if those are really kids or loli elf but there is no doubt that it is so peaceful in here.
Errr.. c.r.a.p, thinking like that is like raising a flag. I should not do that, I should learn from the novels that I read. While thinking that I caught something at the corner of my eye.
There is a female knight wearing silver armor walking elegantly on the street. However, it is not because she is a knight that caught my attention but her appearance. Henko also look at her and I'm sure that she is also thinking the same thing. Her hair is long and black. Her facial feature is almost like j.a.panese. No, there is no doubt that her face is exactly like a j.a.panese. Who is that girl? She stand out like a sore thumb because of her hair color. Everyone around has silver, golden, brown, red or green hair.
“That girl… Is she j.a.panese?”
“I wonder”
Henko asked but there is no way that I will know the answer. While thinking that, we hear the elves who are sitting not far away from us and talking to each other. They are also looking at the girl.
“Isn't that Lime-sama?”
“Lime? You mean Lime-sama of the silver sword?”
“Yeah, I have no doubt that is her. Her armor, her hair. I'm sure of it”
“Eh? You are right… but didn't she leave like 9 months ago? Did she just came back?”
Oh.. Looks like that girl was away from this city for a very long time. No wonder we didn't notice her. There is no way that we will not notice her with that appearance but then again, this city is huge so there is also a chance that we will miss her. Anyway, I'm done eating. Maybe we should return on checking the stalls.
“Are you done eating? Should we go?”
“Yes”
I asked Henko and she confirm that we can leave. While we are standing up, the two elf who are talking continue their conversation.
“I wonder if she found it?”
“Oh that's right, she was looking for something but I can't remember what it was”
“If I remember correctly, she called it [The Altar of Creation]”
What!?? Altar of Creation!? Both Henko and I reflexively look at the two elf. Since hearing that she is looking for the Altar of Creation as well, I also can't help but look at the girl after few seconds. When I turn my head to her direction, I saw her looking at me. Those black eyes are like pulling me into her, it is like an infinity of abyss. While thinking about that, she smiled.
