Side Story (-esque) for commemoration of the hundredth chapter.
Its 1.5 times longer than the usual chapters. (TLN: .This is so not gonna end well)
This started after we returned to our home in Lucas after the wedding ceremony safely ended.
Its after Amy-san and Ari sudden sleepover ended peacefully, when it settled down for a while. (TLN: Holy. This Amy person only appeared once, at least, her name did, way back in chapter 29. The girl who got kidnapped by the orcs way back then)
Danna-sama, Aisha I think that it is unfair
As we were enjoying a fun conversation as a family while having our dinner, Sylphy suddenly said such a thing.
What are you referring to?
I have no idea at all.
What are you referring to by unfair?
As a question mark floated above my head, I asked Sylphy, and she made a slight pout.
Un, its really rare for Sylphy to show such an expression, isnt it.
The usual dignified Sylphy is good, but a pouting Sylphys also cute.
I was thinking about such a thing, but.
Sylphy blushed furiously, and her movements stilled.
M, Myne-kun, youre saying out loud, out loud, you know
It seems that I said it out loud.
Da, Da, Da, Danna-sama! Im not talking about t, that right now
Aisha and I waited for Sylphy who was flustered to the point of it being amusing, to calm down.
We waited for roughly five minutes.
She who had finally calmed down, Once again started talking about the unfairness from before.
Phew, good grief this Danna-sama, launching a surprise attack at me *grumble grumble*.
Aah, thats right! Danna-sama! I think that it is unfair!!
Un, what is?
We returned to the real issue at hand.
Danna-sama went on a date together with Aisha only, didnt you!
Date? Mm, mm, mnnn?
Ummmm, did we go on a date?
I dont recall at all, you know?
Thinking that Aisha has an idea about it, I looked at her, and she was folding her arms and pondering.
Un, as expected, we cant remember such a thing at all.
Sylphy, what do you mean by date? I dont remember such a thing at all, though
As I asked her that, Sylphy was enraged, and her whole body was emitting anger.
What are you talking about!! Both of you went to the Dungeon of Strength alone, didnt you!
Her breathing became rough, puffed up her chest, as if saying How about that?.
Dungeon of Strength Thats a date.
I see, so to her, that is a date, huh.
I dropped my shoulders and sighed at my extremely regrettable wifes thought.
Aisha also sighed by my side, so her mental states probably the same as mine.
Hey, Sylphy? Exploring a labyrinth is a date?
Of course! A couple in love going afar, with only themselves for company.
What can it be, other than a date?
I see, if you say that, if Sylphy says that, then thats that. (TLN: I can feel the exasperation in his words)
And, what does Sylphy want to do?
Go on a date with me!!!
Thus, Sylphy and I once again headed to the Dungeon of Strength.
Aisha and Waffle are house-sitting.
Waffle said Im going too, Im going too until the end, but with Sylphys one sentence, Its not a date if the two people arent alone together!, he was forcibly made to watch the house.
That being the case, Sylphy and I are inside a stagecoach heading to Adol.
If I used Unique MagicSpace-time, we would arrive in a moment, but Sylphy strongly desired to take the coach.
The time of travelling is the charm of a date, she told me.
Furthermore, it seems that Aisha and I travelling by coach is also one of the reasons.
Well, of course, even having a conversation with the two of us can be considered a date, but.
Where in the world did Sylphy get her information about dates from?
This is extremely mysterious.
We were able to talk about various things within the stage coach, just as Sylphy planned (?).
I feel glad that we were able to know about each other more but.
It cant be helped, but we were extremely conspicuous within the carriage.
In the first place, Sylphy is the Princess Knight, who boasts of overwhelming popularity from the citizens.
I also came to have no doubts about her popularity from the crowd of citizens during the wedding ceremony.
That popular beauty is right in front of their eyes so theres no way she wont receive attention.
Its a matter of course for Sylphy to be given a lot of attention, and the ordinary man beside her.
The wedding ceremony only ended the other day.
Naturally, that ordinary man is exposed as the Princess Knights husband, so.
In other words, attention is also gathered on me as well.
I can hear their whisperings.
Thats the Princess Knight Sylphid-sama, right? She married, didnt she?
However, Princess Knight-sama is really beautiful, huh
Marrying Princess Knight-sama Im jealous of him
That being the case, until we arrived at Adol, honestly, I was ashamed with this bed of needles pricking me.
Sylphys probably accustomed to this, as she doesnt seem to mind at all.
Overcoming the subtle difficult atmosphere, we finally arrived at the Town of Adol.
Un, Im glad that we arrived!
Ive taken a lot of rides on carriages until now, but Ive never been so happy arriving at the destination!
No, it really was tough.
While thinking such a thing, I relaxed my stiff body from the travel in the carriage, and Sylphy, who looked like she didnt feel the fatigue at all, started talking to me.
Danna-sama! Lets quickly go to the inn where you stayed with Aisha!
Hey, lets go now!!
Welcome to the Silver Bell Pavilion
The moment we entered the inn, the pro2prietress-san called out to us just like when I stayed with Aisha.
Ara?
Does she remember me? Proprietress-san faced me and asked me with a smile.
Both of you will be staying the night, arent you?
As expected of a high class inns proprietress.
From her response, theres no doubt she remembers me.
Its been quite a while since I last came, but I even feel moved in a certain sense, with her responding this way.
Yes, we will be staying a night. You remember me, dont you!
Thank you very much for favouring us
As I said that, Proprietress-san returned a sweet graceful smile, and politely bowed.
Such a response, we might even be coming here again next time!
By the way, excuse me but isnt this Your Highness Sylphid?
Aah, as expected, she noticed.
Sylphys really famous, isnt she.
Aah, I am no doubt Sylphid, but I am not a princess anymore.
You dont need to fuss about me
I have heard that you have married.
I offer my blessings from the bottom of my heart
Proprietress-san said that and bowed deeply at Sylphy.
She then guided us to our room, but mysteriously, we were brought to the same room as when I stayed with Aisha.
I dont think Proprietress-san aimed for this, and as I was surprised at the coincidence, Sylphy tilted her head to one side and asked me.
Whats wrong, Danna-sama?
Nothing, its just that this is the same room as when we came here to stay previously
Ooh, I see!! To me, this is a happy thing!!
Sylphy, who is obsessed about not being different from Aisha.
Shes really happy, huh.
I see, this room is the one that ties Danna-sama and Aisha together, huh It feels deeply moving if you think about it that way
No, its embarrassing, so please dont feel so deeply moved about such a thing!
Probably curious, Sylphy walked about the room, and checked the bed and baths.
Now then, I generally understand the layout of the room now.
When you came here with Aisha, did you immediately enter the labyrinth after this?
Ummm, if I remember correctly, we took a look around the town.
We visited the general store and the weapon store, I think.
As I told her about what happened before, Sylphy pondered for a while before making a suggestion.
In that case, why dont we visit stores other than those two?
Even for weapons, we already have the necessary ones
Thats right, theres certainly a point to that.
Theres nothing we currently need for sundries, and there isnt anything new at the weapon shop.
I already have the Weapons of Origin, after all.
Un, thats right! Lets take a look at the other stores
That being the case, we exited the inn and took a look around the town.
The last time I came, there were a lot of adventurers crowding around.
We walked around the town with hands joined from the very beginning.
The first shop we entered was a clothes shop.
We purchased cloth for making casual clothes for the three of us and Waffle.
We bought several pieces each, so it cost quite some money, but I think that the clothes we bought are quite nice.
Its a secret that Sylphy bought quite a few pieces of underwear she secretly got fired up about.
She probably bought Aishas part as well.
Leaving the clothing store, and as we discussed on where should we go from here on, somebody suddenly called us from behind.
Hey, that pretty girl over there.
Well treat you as much as you want
The ones who called out to use were a pair of aggressive-looking adventurers.
They seem to have gotten a little drunk.
As expected, theres always this type of people around.
I wonder if its something of a miracle that we werent entangled with such a thing before this?
Or rather, I was really surprised!
That there would be people who dont know who Sylphy is by looking at her!
Even though that many people would know that she is the Princess Knight in one try!
Ah, but I myself didnt know either, so I cant say anything about other people, huh.
Oi! That brat over there!! Get your ass out of here!
Well be taking care of that girl! Heehee
Ah, this is bad.
Sylphy looks like shes about to snap.
Im sorry, shes my wife.
We dont have any business with you, so you should be the ones going somewhere else
I spoke before Sylphy snaps.
I took a look with Appraisal, but both of them seem to be C-rank adventurers.
I cant be careless, but compared to Carl-san who I had fought before, they look considerably weaker.
Take care of my little sister
I recall these words Onii-san told me.
Huh? Such a fine womans the wife of a brat like you?
If youre going to lie, then make up something more believable!!!!
While shouting that, the drunk adventurer A punched towards me.
I dont even need to dodge something like this!
I stopped his fist with my left hand, and crushed it with all my strength.
The sound of bone creaking resounded throughout the surroundings.
Guoo, my hand!!
I threw my right fist at the drunk adventurer As, who had been raving, solar plexus.
uu
A groan leaked out from the drunk adventurer A for a moment, but he sank at that very place.
I called out to drunk adventurer B who became flustered at seeing me defeating his companion with one blow.
Will you still be picking a fight with us?
If you want to continue, I will be getting serious(TLN: Man, being badass but using polite language sounds really weird)
I pretended to be expressionless, and tried to speak as if uninterested.
As I did that, drunk adventurer B feebly shook his head, and fell on his backside.
Well then, please excuse us!
Saying that, I took Sylphys arm, and left the place with quick steps.
As we walked for a while and slipped out of the hustle and bustle, I breathed a sigh.
Danna-sama, you were really cool!
Those guys thought that Sylphys a pushover.
As expected, I must protect Sylphy and Aisha
Sylphy unrestrainedly praised me, so I answered, looking a little embarrassed.
After that, since its quite late, we decided to return to the inn.
Itll be a waste if we are late for dinner, after all.
I know that the dinner in the Silver Bell Pavilion is really delicious, after all.
It really was delicious, wasnt it!
Yeah, it certainly was delicious
Right now, we have finished our meal, and are relaxing in our room.
While the bath is being heated up, our topic is of course, the dinner we just ate.
Oh, it should be ready, right?
Danna-sama, lets enter. Ill rinse your back today
We joined hands as we headed towards the bath, and experienced supreme bliss.
Un, baths really feel good, dont they!
AN:
Thank you very much for always reading.
Please take care of me from now on as well.
Well, this is the first part of a side story unlike a side story. (TLN: Well, most of your chapters are lighthearted like this, I guess)
As a request from a friend, I allotted a spot for Sylphy.
I will be glad if you enjoyed it.
