Now then,

The matter at the guild has been taken care of, let's go quickly pick up Sari.

I thought this while I was heading towards Zinnia.

But still, I am already an A-Rank adventurer huh, I hope that the Rank increases the same way quickly.

And I wonder what the exam is for the Ranks above A-Rank. (ED: Probably have to kill something super super strong)

Perhaps, well, according to Meru-san there seems tests other than the capabilities check.

Then, that will be a little tough for me.

From the time I became an adventurer, there didn’t seem to be any sorts of occasions such as this when I needed to use my other capabilities other than fighting………We~ll.

It's not like I will receive any promotion requests as of now. I am going to take my time and learn from my experience slowly.

While I was having such thoughts, I was able to quickly arrive at Zinnia.

(ED: *Flag* Totally going to be a promotion request in the near future)

Oh, I seem to have already arrived. Well, I suppose Sari’s preparations are complete.

I opened the door to the inn and quickly entered.

“Ah, Yuma-san. Are you already done with your work?”

When I entered, I saw that Sari was waiting for me by the table. She looked like she was ready to go out. It seems that I had kept her waiting for a while.

“Ah, I’m done with work. Sari seems to have been waiting for me for quite a while. Sorry that I had kept you waiting.”

When I say so to Sari, she slightly panicked,

“It's alright, I just got ready a little while ago!”

She seems to have been concerned about me.

“Is that so, then shall we leave as it's almost time?”

“Yes. Since Yuma-san is there, then I will be able to shop for loads of stuff.”

“Leave it to me, even though I look like this, I am an adventurer. I have quite a lot of confidence in my strength, I will carry as much as you can give me.”

“Fu Fu~, then let's go!”

And then, Me and Sari left Zinnia.

When Sari came out of Zinnia, she seemed to *nya nya* along the way.

I wonder what's up with her.

“Yuma-san. First, let’s go look for clothes, is that alright?”

“Alright, I don’t have any other matters I need to do for today so we can take our time.”

”Yes, then let’s go.”

After a while,

Me and Sari arrived at a store which sold clothes. Well, it's Sari who is picking out the clothes, and me nodding the whole time.

“Yuma-san, look at this dress! Does it look good on me?”

And so she asked me.

To be honest, I really don’t know what I should say at such a time,

“Ah, it suits you a lot.”

“Ok, then I will buy this dress! Then, let me look at the next one.”

Saying so, Sari went to look for the next dress.

But wait, isn't Sari buying a little too many?

Well. it's not a problem since its Sari, and of course money is not a problem.

Well, we are talking about Sari here, so I think she would have pocket money saved up.

Lets just say I am going to pay for now.

Hey, this situation right now, doesn't it look like a date?

After several hours, Sari is still choosing, this is taking way too long…..

“Th-this is a lot of stuff you've bought Sari.”

There were several dozens of clothes in these bag like replicas.

Hey, isn't it ok if I just put this into my Item Box, well I suppose its ok.

“So-Sorry. Is it too heavy? It was because Yuma-san praised me, I went too far and bought too much.”

“No no, it's not a problem at all, if you really want to have problems, then you need at least ten times as much as this.”

“That's good then, then shall we buy the last of the groceries?”

“Roger that!”

And then, Me and Sari went to the street which held the grocery shop.

After a few minutes, we were able to arrive at the street and go there.

“Wow, it's even more crowded than usual.”

As I thought this, It will be a problem if you get lost.

“Yu-Yuma san!!”

Uh oh, what happened to Sari all of a sudden!

I will get scared if you scream like all of a sudden! But, your too cute when you're so close and serious.

“What, what is it?”

“Ah that, that's because we could get separated if we were to walk through this crowd and that's why I am holding your hand, is that no good?”

Huh?

“It’s ok, since its me.”

I reach out to Sari and held her hand. Sari held onto my arm with a strong grasp, she was evidently extremely nervous.

“Th-th-then, excuse me.”

Oi oi Sari, don’t go getting embarra.s.sed for this much. You're making me get embarra.s.sed along with you.

“Then, shall we go”

“Ye-yes!”

Then, Sari and I continued to shop for items while still holding hands, and continued to go through the crowd taking in the sights.

“Oww!”

Sari b.u.mped into someone by chance.

“Hey hey, Ojou chan! Why are you b.u.mping into me, did you have any intentions!?”

“I-i’m sorry.”

“This is not a problem that you can just get out of by saying sorry.”

Ah, this is bad, this b.u.mping was due to my negligence, I should be the one to say i’m sorry.

But the next moment, he tried to grab Sari’s hand.

I reach out and grab onto that hand and,

“I'm sorry, but this is a very important person of mine, if you are going to behave rashly, then i don't mind giving you some things you wouldn't forget about.”

The man suddenly turned around and I felt like I got into a situation again.

“What is wrong with you! Just because she came out with you, doesn’t mean you can behave like you can protect her or put on an act! My eyes hurt from seeing people like you.”

For some reason, after coming into this world, I keep encountering such cliche situations.

(ED: I agree XD)

When I was thinking such about such a thing, a man came over who looked like the boss of that group and speaks into his ear,

“Oi stop, dont mess with him! That person…… is definitely a bad situation.”

“Oi, what the heck are you spouting!? This guy doesn't look like he can even handle a mosquito, let alone me!”

“Oi, you idiot, you're not an adventurer so you don't know. But, they gave that guy an A-Rank adventurer and he took down an Orc King alone. If you mess with him, then you would be insta-killed.” (ED: A bad guy gang leader type said “Insta-kill” that is the best)

“Ar-are you serious?”

The man who tried to pick a fight with me seems to have started developing fear toward me when the other guy told something in his ear.

Alright, this is my chance! While he talks to the other guy, lets just go ahead and take a little advantage of this situation and have some fun.

“You guys, if you just get out of my sight now, then I won't pursue this matter, but if you're planning on getting involved any further, then you must know what's going to happen, don’t you?”

I wonder what they thought of my bluff.

When I said that, the first man who picked the fight started to scream and runs away while pus.h.i.+ng his friend who came over in front of us.

“A, ah that.”

“ You, you seem to have it hard.”

“Ah, yeah, he has quite the short temper. Well then, I will take my leave.”

“Ouu, see ya.”

And then, only I and Sari were left alone in that place.

Fuu~, Sari seems to be quiet for quite some time, I wonder if she is too scared to look at such a thing.

“Sari, are you ok? I'm sorry that you had to see such a sight.”

“Yuma-san….”

“N? Tell me?”

“A while ago you said that I was an important person to you…….Did you really mean that?”

Just a moment ago, I definitely did say that she was an important person of mine, but I definitely did not say it in the way she was thinking in her head

“Ah, uuh. Sari is a very important person for me. If you're ever in trouble, then you can come to me, no matter what kind of a problem it is, I will definitely make sure to protect you.”

When I said so to Sari, her face started to turn bright red.

We cannot stay in such a place for long like this, and so Sari...

“Sari, it's already quite late, shall we return?”

“Yes…”

And then, after a while, Me and Sari were able to reach Zinnia safely.

But still, whenever Sari looked at me, then her face would turn bright red, she doesn't seem to be able to concentrate on her work.

The same night in my room.

When I checked my status that same night using appraisal, there was an addition t.i.tle called, {Honour Knight} that was added to the list and was slowly increasing….
