"Dating?.........what is dating?" Shiori was surprised by what zegel said but she had no idea what he meant
"You're surprised like that but don't know what it means?" Said Zegel who put on a puzzled look to Shiori
"yes it's just a reflex, I'm just shocked"
"the courtship is a man and a woman in a relationship like a lover"
Shiori was startled and opened her mouth wide
"why did you open your mouth like that? still hungry?" Zegel asked to look at Shiori who was silent as she froze
"Ah..no I'm just surprised by the meaning"
so fast they are dating. Shiori said in her batteries that trusted Zegel's words
Hikaru left before Asuka and headed back to the dining table where Zegel and Shiori were
"because Shiori's crystal ball is gone, so maybe I'll go alone after this" Hikaru said who stood in the middle between Shiori and Zegel
"where are you going to know your purpose?" Ask zegel
"Emmm"
Shiori smiled as she saw Hikaru answering Zegel's question, Hikaru glanced towards Shiori as he smiled
"Hey hey, why are you smiling laughing at me huh!" Hikaru pointed at shiori's face
"Ah no, don't get close to me there you already belong to someone else" Shiori said as she pushed Hikaru with her hand
"Eh?" said Zegel and Hikaru who were confused by the words Shiori
"yes, the point is that I'll stay with you" Shiori said as she returned to her tea
"i'm coming with you because I'm going to help you decide what path you should go through. It's my pity that you saved me before"
it should be gratitude not pity. Inner Hikaru
"I'll also have an adventure with you Hikaru" Zegel said
"Ha?. isn't it that you have a shop in the royal capital, if you're traveling how?"
"I also need another atmosphere, every day I just make weapons continuously.I might open a shop while we adventure. oh yes and I will also help you in the matter of equipment to fight"
"This is cool" Suddenly Hikaru's behavior changes when Zegel says he wants to make him a weapon
the three of them came out of the restaurant and said goodbye to the village chief
"so where are we going?" Hikaru asked Shiori and Zegel
"how about we go to the royal capital first, I'll pack my things" Zegel told Shiori and Hikaru
"But if I go to the capital I won't be able to enter" said shiori who thought of herself because she was a human with a cat race
"Just be calm if the problem is, I have a secret way to get in there without passing through the guards" said Zegel who was very confident
"Oh yes... By the way Hikaru, why is your shirt like that?" Zegel asked who had been confused by Hikaru's clothes
"This is my friend's shirt ah yes, I hunted" Hikaru reasoned that was very unreasonable, because he was still wearing school clothes from his world when he came back here.
"That's the theme shirt I saw earlier" Shiori said which helped Hikaru to convince zegel because Hikaru didn't want others to know that he was from a different world
"oh so, but it looks the same as the one in my shop when we first met"
"Of course I'll give it" Zegel forgot the conversation about Hikaru's clothes and the three of them went back to the capital.
They traveled a considerable distance from the village of Gorch to the royal capital
"it's been very late, why didn't we just stay in the village" said Zegel, who was tired from walking
"Don't complain, suck" said Shiori who still continued walking without resting and complaining
They finally reached the forest around the royal capital, the three of them peering through the bush to see the gatekeepers
"Look there are guards, and on the right there's a hole in the waterway, we go in from there and it'll appear under my shop" Zegel explained the secret passage to Shiori and Hikaru
"Alright let's go ahead" Zegel looked back to invite Shiori and Hikaru but the two of them had already gone first
"Hey wait"
They also entered the water hole
"Ah here is too dark" Hikaru said as he fumbled at the palpation of his hands that could not see what
"Aw" Shiori's little shout as her tail was held by Hikaru
"That's my tail, you son of a bitch"
"sorry, it's too dark
- if Hikaru was not angry, maybe if I had touched him earlier my life might have been threatened. Inner zegel
"it's fast through here" the zegel ran up a ladder leading up out of the channel
the three of them went up the stairs and arrived at the back of the zegel's supply store
"Well, this way we can get in and out of the city easily" Hikaru said as he cleaned his school uniform
They entered the zegel shop and when they arrived inside Shiori immediately opened her robe and looked around
while Hikaru and zegel were looking for a suitably dressed suit for Hikaru to wear since it was impossible for him to adventure in school uniform
"it looks good" said Hikaru who saw a dress with a white jacket with a black blue striped motif on the side and back
"Well, actually this is a fairly expensive item, because only this is different myself I designed it specifically so that it can be used even though it is not for fighting. this jacket could withstand low to medium level magic attacks" Zegel explained the advantages of the jacket to Hikaru
Hikaru immediately went to the back and changed his clothes with the jacket he had chosen
"Well, if it's like this I'm more free to move" Hikaru said as he moved his entire body
shiori's gaze shifted towards Hikaru who was wearing his new clothes
"Well it looks like we're going to rest here tonight, tomorrow we're going to go out and explore this world" Zegel said
"What about our finances?" Said shiori who asked, and made the zegel spirit disappear instantly
"i only have the money from my first mission of taking aloe vera" Hikaru took out his money from his pants pocket
"I only have this" Shiori also took out the money
"Sorry my shop is quiet again, so I don't have any money" said Zegel.
the thoughts of the three of them also changed who had wanted to go on an adventure instead became critical because of inadequate financial factors
