Last Hero
Chapter 13: The New Life

Marie's point of view.

It's been a week since I've lived in the labyrinth city and I can't stop looking in awe at how human life really is.

They have a large and beautiful house building, quite a lot of clothing stores and diverse food. It's amazing so this is what the outside world is called.

I nodded my head several times before someone's voice reached my ears.

"Marie you're studying, try this fish, we have a fresh one. I'll give you a discount of course."

"Right aunt, then I'm asking for one."

"Good."

The size of the fish is quite large and looks so stunning.

"What is this?" I said.

"Tuna, in the east they eat it raw but processed various foods are also very tasty."

"Once, I'll probably try to make it into soup."

"That's a great idea, your husband must be happy."

"Ah, Okta is not my husband."

"But you guys live together, has something happened between the two of you."

Unfortunately not.

I felt that my face turned tomato red.

"I'm just teasing you, stopping by later."

"Thank you aunt."

"Yosh."

I just stayed here and they were very friendly and nice. Now all I have to buy is complete this soup.

I thought I'd buy some meat for dinner later too.

After carrying a lot of luggage I knocked on the door and Okta who just woke up helped me to bring everything.

"You should wake me up shopping."

"No, no, I can't do it. I want to do it myself."

"You're not thinking of acting as a real servant, are you?"

I looked away, I liked the maid clothes and I thought if I thought like them I could bring a little.

Okta let out a long sigh, it seemed like she didn't know what to say. However, he just said do what you like.

"Sorry to trouble."

"No, it's my job.more than that I should say sorry for forcing me to stay here."

"I don't mind."

I put on a confident pose.

"As long as it's just the two of us here, I'll always spoil you so please don't turn it down."

"I understand."

In this way Okta does not need to take any role when at home, I have become a professional maid of course.

All the food I had made was beautifully presented at the table and I sat down in front of Okta to see how she enjoyed it.

"How's it?"

"Sonce, you're getting better at making food."

"Hehe I got some recipes from the store that I bought and also the best ingredients from them at half the price."

"Eh, so? They're very nice to pretty girls."

My face is flushed.

"Ah that's not what I mean, you know when I'm shopping they sometimes don't care about me."

"really?" many wonder.

Okta nodded.

"I guess since I was in debt a lot, before getting to know everyone I was just a lowly adventurer who only hunted slimes, this house was only the only one I had."

"That's not true, Okta is very strong.You can be a great adventurer even a hero."

"I think I'm gonna fight for his second title."

I smiled gently in return.

If there is no Okta I might not be able to see the outside world or live a life like this, without him knowing actually he has become a hero for me.

At least that's how I feel.

"Marie you don't eat your food, it might get cold."

"Ah right. good-eating."

I'm glad to be here.
