Chapter 68
"I think it's urgent for us to get stronger considering what happened this time . I get the chills just thinkin' what would've happened without Nobu-kun around . "
"I am in agreement . I have come to understand my powerlessness . "
" . . . But what should we do, concretely speaking?"
"About that, I have an idea that could help . "
My idea is simple, we four should form a party and dive into dungeons . At the same time, we'll take on quests related to dungeons and raise our ranks . By the way, Sefi-san is staying since she's got a store to tend to . She's got to train her assistant, Dillit-san, too .
Kagura-san was a solo party, and there were many occasions where Mitama and Futsuno-san took on quests unrelated to fighting . Though it's partly because my growth rate is just fast in comparison, those two points are probably why their levels haven't gotten that high .
"In that case, you three should live in here . We've still got plenty of rooms after all . And once everything settles down, we can start the dungeon diving . "
" . . . Sefi-san, is that okay?"
"Of course~ Nobu-chan lovers are like family to me~"
Thus, we'll use this week to move in, confirm our equipment, and finish up miscellaneous stuff . Futsuno-san's lost her equipment, while Kagura-san's stuff got damaged badly in her fight with Dave . And my foodstuff supply has decreased quite a lot since we were traveling in big numbers . And I've still got to report to Master and file complaints to the guild too .
"Then it means the dissolution of 『Tail of Wind』 . Gotta think up a new party name . How 'bout, 『Nobu-kun and Her Beloved Maidens』?"
" . . . Nee-san, that's a bit . . . "
"I personally think that 『Nobusada Love Regiment』 sounds good . "
You two, please stop inserting my name there . Is it some kind of public execution?
" . . . 『Nobu and Tail』?"
Et tu! Mitama (Brutus)!! Too bad that there's also Kagura-san who doesn't have a tail besides me! Wait, no . Not good, I'd be gradually heading straight to public execution end if I don't say something here!
"How about 『Izumi no Kami』?"
"""Izumi no Kami?"""
"My family name is Izumi you see . Add a word that means 'Protect' in the language of my home to it, Izumi Kami . Those I want to protect, and those that protect me, that's the meaning I want it to have, what do you think?"
"Pretty nice! I like it . "
"Umu, protecting one another is a nice thing . "
*Nod nod* . Mitama nodded too . Sefi-san is giggling while warmly watching over us .
Oh good . I've avoided the public execution route . After this and that, it's night time already .
Late at night, I ponder the future while in my bed . I slept like a log that I didn't even have a dream last night, but on this quiet night, I can think about many things . Considering all that happened, we've been quite fortunate to settle everything up almost without a loss .
Knock
A weak knock reverberated in the room that was filled with silence .
Before I could respond, the door opened and two shadows of person slowly came over here .
" . . . Nobu, do you have time?"
Is that Mitama?
I slowly open my eyelids and turn to the source of the voice . . . Futsuno-san and Mitama wearing thin silk dress are there standing under the moonlight .
"Wha, Mitama, what are you . . . "
Mitama stopped me with one finger as I tried to get up in a hurry .
" . . . Um, you see, Nobu . I have something important to say . "
Seeing her serious expression, I quietly listen to her while still in bed .
" . . . . Um you see, when I asked you to save Nee-san and told you that you could do anything you like to me, I was speaking honestly . No matter how cornered I was, I wouldn't have said something like to someone I don't like . And as promised, Nobu saved Nee-san, and me . That's why, please receive my everything . "
Mitama who usually didn't talk much spun her words at full throttle . On the contrary, Futsuno-san who's usually talkative has not said a singel word . However then, Futsuno-san who's holding Mitama's shoulders with both her hands looks straight at me while looking like she's resolved herself .
"That . . . I've been having bad lucks with that kind of man since forever . So many first-rate idiots like that set their eyes on me . I've had enough of getting Mitama involved in it . And after we became adventurers, I did many things in order to protect this child . I've also done dirty works in the back . My body isn't that pure . . . even so, I want to give my first to someone I like . My head has been full with the words Nobu-kun whispered in my ears back then all this time . "
Futsuno-san also conveyed her feelings in one go . Her emerald green eyes look as if shining slightly under the peeking moonlight, feels very mystical .
""So please, make us yours, Nobu(kun)!""
