“Yo…”
“Ah, it’s you…”
I called out to the Ogrekin man who was tilling the fields.
“Goz… you look well.”
“Yes… the Princess as well.”
“This is quite a nice place, isn’t it…”
Nelphilia said so as she looked around the area.
I had introduced them to a building that used to be a bandit base in the mountains a bit away from the Imperial Capital as a temporary home for the Ogrekin and Demonkin.
“Ah… Nelphilia-sama, it seems they were surprisingly tidy bandits, so it’s more comfortable than expected.”
“That’s good to hear! I’ve brought food!”
“Well, I’ll head off now… I’ll come pick you up around evening.”
“Yeah, I’m counting on you! My fans are eagerly waiting for my body, after all!”
Was the Imperial Capital going to be okay…?
Once I returned to the mansion, I called out to Reilia.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, Riku-san! I’m so excited!”
Reilia twirled around to show off her outfit, her long, straight black hair fluttering.
She was dressed in a shirt from the other world, a fleece hoodie, a skirt, and boots.
She wore earmuffs to hide her long ears.
“Ugh… my ears hurt a little bit…”
“Bear with it… If by any chance you’re found out, we’ll just say you’re cosplaying as an elf.”
“I know… Hehe, finally! Finally, an outing in Japan!”
“Uu… Master, Hina wants to go too, nanodesu.”
“Ah, next time. If I’m alone, it’ll be troublesome if you need backup.”
“Uu, it can’t be helped, nanodesu.”
“Reilia-sama, do you have your handkerchief? Listen… you must not use the Item Box. Do you know how to use the smartphone?
If you get separated from Master, don’t just wander around alone; contact him properly and wait right there.“
“It’s fine, Liz… I’m not a child…”
I was very anxious.
Very… very anxious.
Well, she had been saying she wanted to go for a while now.
I put on a shirt, a thick hoodie, and jeans, then took Reilia’s hand.
“Well then, Liz, Hina, we’re off.”
“Yes, Master, please take care.”
“Yes, Master. Reilia, make sure to behave yourself, nanodesu.”
“See ya!”
Reilia waved with a beaming smile.
Well, for those two, we’d be back in the next instant anyway.
“Yahoo! The outside world!”
“Hey, hey, keep it down.”
I admonished Reilia, who was frolicking just from stepping out of the apartment.
I wouldn’t care over there, but it was incredibly embarrassing here.
Since her ears would be exposed when taking a helmet on and off on a motorcycle, I prepared a car.
“For now, we’re going to the shopping mall and watching a new movie, right?”
“Yes! I’ll follow Riku-san anywhere!”
Once we arrived at the shopping mall, Reilia looked around curiously and wandered off, getting sucked into the shops.
“Whoa! Ri-Riku-san! There’s stuff… there’s stuff everywhere!”
Even with her hair changed to black, Reilia’s beauty was not just a head above the rest; she was in a league of her own.
There was no way a girl like that wouldn’t stand out while frolicking and shouting excitedly.
“Re-Reilia… everyone’s watching, so let’s try to be a bit quieter.”
“Eh! That’s impossible… Oh, Riku-san, Riku-san, look at that! I want that one!”
Reilia pointed at a stuffed cat sitting in a shop window.
“Alright, alright…”
After paying and removing the tag, I handed it to Reilia.
“Waaaaah! Amazing! It’s so cute!”
Reilia spun around while holding the stuffed cat high.
It was incredibly embarrassing.
“Ah, Kiriake-kun.”
And to make matters worse, I ran into Takeyama and Shinozuka-san.
“Kiriake-kun, Happy New Year.”
“Ah, Happy New Year…”
“Aah! Riku-san, did you f–with these girls–ngh?! Mmm! Mmm!”
I covered Reilia’s mouth as she suddenly blurted that out.
“They’re friends from school. And the small one over there is a boy.”
“Wha?! This child is a boy?”
“Ah, yes! I’m Takeyama!”
“I-I’m… Shinozuka… Um, because you’re so cute… I was surprised… um…”
“Seriously! I-I’ve never seen such a cute girl! It’s like you jumped right out of the 2D world!”
You’re not entirely wrong, Takeyama.
“Ehehe… did you hear that? Riku-san, they said I’m cute…”
“Yeah… well, shall we go…”
“Eh! Since we’re here, I want to talk more…”
“Co-Could it be… that person… is Kiriake-kun’s girlfriend?”
Shinozuka-san asked with great interest.
“No… I’m serving as Riku-san’s sex slave!”
Reilia said that while striking a double-peace sign pose.
“Heyyyyy! Are you stupid?! Hey, are you an idiot?!”
“A… sex slave?”
“A-Are you serious… a super-beauty like that…”
“Unbelievable… shouting ‘sex slave’ at the top of her lungs in a place like this…”
The people walking around started to murmur and cause a stir.
“You, wait… let’s go!”
Instinctively, I tucked Reilia under my arm and started running.
“Ah! Kiriake-kun!”
I could hear Takeyama and Shinozuka-san’s voices from behind, but I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
“You’ve really done it now, Reilia! We don’t have slaves over here! Give me a break!”
“Ah, is that so?
You should have told me that beforehand… ehehe.“
“You! You definitely said that on purpose!”
“I didn’t know… it’s Riku-san’s fault for not telling me…”
“Good grief… saying ‘slave’ is banned. Being this far away should be fine for now… Let’s eat.”
I set down Reilia, whom I had been carrying under my arm.
Well, that was quite painful in front of Takeyama and Shinozuka-san, but what’s said is said.
I gave up and we ate.
I took her to a restaurant famous for its omurice, and she looked very happy as she ate.
“Hafu, hafu, the eggs are so soft! This is delicious!”
Well, looking at her like this, she really is cute…
Her black hair was a nice change of pace and earned her some points.
“Well, shall we go to the movie…”
“Yes! I’m so excited.”
I took her to see the new movie of an anime she had been into lately.
I bought her a mountain of popcorn and a cola, and we took our seats.
“Ah, Reilia. I’m going to cast Silent magic on you, so don’t resist.”
“Eh?! Why?”
“Because you shout a lot even at home. You’re supposed to watch movies quietly in a theater.”
“Eh… I understand. It can’t be helped, then…”
It was a magic that erased sound, but for someone with magic resistance as high as Reilia’s, it wouldn’t normally work even with a significant level difference.
When I patted Reilia’s head as she obediently accepted it, she smiled happily and turned her sparkling eyes toward the screen.
I couldn’t help but smile seeing Reilia munching away at the popcorn, washing it down with cola, and opening her mouth wide toward the screen.
Looking at the screen, it was a battle scene.
I took Reilia’s hand as she clenched her fist and looked like she was about to jump out, and made her sit down.
After about an hour and a half, the end credits began to roll, so I dispelled the magic.
“Hafu~. That was fun! Seeing it in a movie theater is so powerful…”
“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
After the movie, I bought her a bag full of merchandise, and today’s otherworld date came to an end.
“Thank you for today, Riku-san. It was very fun.”
“Yeah, I had fun too. Well, shall we head home? Or do you want to stop somewhere else for a bit?”
“U-Um… Riku-san…”
“Hm? Akiba is out of the question for now… it’s a bit far.”
“Ah… that’s not it… Since it’s finally… just the two of us for the first time in a while… w-would you like to relax somewhere?”
Oh? It’s rare for Reilia to make an invitation…
Reilia blushed and looked away, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed to say it out loud.
“Right… since we’re here, shall we go to a love hotel or something?”
“L-Love hotel! The place with those legendary rotating beds!?”
“They don’t have those things nowadays!”
“A-Also, um… can I ask for one selfish thing?”
“Go ahead.”
“Today… um… I’d be happy if you could be gentle with me…”
“True.”
I took Reilia’s hand and started walking toward the nearby downtown area.
When I searched for a nearby love hotel on my smartphone, quite a high-end one popped up.
It was still evening… the rooms probably weren’t all filled up yet.
Come to think of it… Maybe because I’d been spending time with family, I hadn’t noticed, but I hadn’t let loose once since doing it with Ayame at the end of the year.
Huh? Now that I thought about it, looking at the black-haired elf Reilia, I suddenly felt incredibly horny…
“Reilia… I’ll apologize in advance. Sorry if I can’t be gentle.”
“Ehh, since it’s just the two of us, please don’t be mean to me…”
“No… that’s not it… I haven’t done it for about three days…”
“Eh?! No way… Impossible, impossible, impossible! Taking Riku-san after three days of pent-up frustration all by myself is impossible! L-Let’s go home! Look, let’s all four of us do it plenty!”
“No, that’s not happening… It’s your fault for inviting me. It feels like I’m about to burst through my pants.”
“H-Hiii… please be… please be gentle…”
“I know… I’ll do my best…”
And so, taking Reilia with me, I headed for the love hotel.
