Book 9: Chapter 38: Monopolizing Halt for a Day
ina, Tina, wake up.
I woke up to a pleasant voice calling me.
Halt-sama was in front of me when I opened my eyes.
...Halt-sama?
Goodmorning, Tina. Its already morning.
Ehno way.
II overslept
It is my duty to wake Halt-sama up.
I need to rise earlier than him.
And yet
We partied late into the night yesterday, so theres no helping it. Wanna sleep more?
It was my birthday yesterday.
Halt-sama held a celebration for me, and we had a lot of guests who came over.
The party continued on well into the night, so it was already very late by the time we slept.
There was another reason why I overslept.
I requested to have the privilege of having Halt-sama to myself for an entire day as my birthday present.
Because of that, Halt-sama and I slept together only the two of us.
It had been a while.
Halt-sama and I flirted a lot.
I-It was really pleasant.
Good morning, Halt-sama.
I was too embarrassed to look him in the eye, so I dived under the blanket, hiding while greeting him.
Morning, Tina.
Ah!
He pulled the blanket off me for a bit.
I wasnt wearing anything.
Halt-sama, too.
Is it okay to give you a good morning kiss?
Halt-sama pulled me with a bit of strength, forcing me to face him. His face was super close.
His azure eyes that seemed to suck me in were truly gorgeous.
I gave a tiny nod, and he kissed me so gently.
I was in cloud nine, but also equally embarrassed, so I buried my face in Halt-samas chest.
What do you want to do today?
Halt-sama stroked my head while asking me.
What to do?
It was a very difficult question.
If I could spend the whole day with Halt-sama, anything we do would make me happy.
But then, I felt it would be a waste if we holed up inside the mansion for that entire time.
How about going down memory lane and visiting the places we went in the past?
Pastdo you mean the time when I was the Guardian Hero?
Yes. Halt-sama, there are countries you havent visited yet, right? We can set up teleportation circles, and I have a country I want to visit.
I heard that there the special product that I really wanted to buy was being sold in the city that Guardian Hero Haruto-sama and I once saved.
Moreover, it was being sold as a souvenir which anyone could buy, apparently.
Even if it wasnt for sale, I would definitely get my hands on it, even if I used the help of H&T Corp.
Got it. Then lets go to the countries that we traveled together back then.
Yes! Thank you very much!
I did it.
Success!
Afterward, I donned my clothes and prepared to go out. We would have our breakfast outside.
Thats because Halt-sama is mine only for today.
So, where do you want to go first?
I want to go to Rieggollen!
RiegThe country where the city of Gareth is?
Thats right!
As expected of Halt-sama, its been a century, but he still remembered the name of the city.
The city that I wanted to go to was precisely that place.
By the way, why do you want to go there?
Eh?
I wasnt sure, but it seemed like Halt-sama wasnt keen on going there.
See, we did save that city from a stampede, but other than that, we didnt do anything there, right?
Indeed. There wasnt anything special that happened then.
Thats why it might seem odd for us to visit that place while going down memory lane.
But thats fine.
We cant?
N-No! Okay, lets go to the city of Gareth!
Fufufu.
Pleading with upturn eyes was a success.
We magically teleported to Gareth.
Halt-samas teleportation magic only worked in places he had already been to before.
He had been with me as the Guardian Hero once before, but he didnt have the ability to mark it with a teleportation circle before.
In short, Halt-sama already visited this place after his reincarnation.
Why didnt you tell me?
Ah, perhaps
Did you want to prevent me from seeing that?
Ah, er, no, I didnt plan to do that
We were in the central square of the city of Gareth, and right in the middle stood a splendid statue of the Guardian Hero.
It was Haruto-sama.
It was truly a magnificent statue of Haruto-sama.
I ended up fascinated with it because he looked so heroic.
Of course, the real Haruto-sama was a million times more handsome that this!
Its so handsome.The artisans of this city are truly talented.
Yup, they did beautify it a lot.
Haruto-samas appearance back then was far more handsome than this!
I hugged his arm.
T-Thanks, Tina.
Yes. Of course, the present Halt-sama is also handsome, too.
I really love Halt-sama.
I also really loved the Guardian Hero Haruto-sama.
Haruto-sama and Halt-sama. Im over the moon because theyre the same person.
Tinaare you sure you wanna buy that and bring it home?
Of course!
This [Life-Size Statue of the Guardian Hero] was the reason why I wanted to go to Gareth.
Its only natural that I wanted to buy it and bring it home.
Im going to display this in my room!
Halt-sama let me buy the statue, so I did.
It was a bit pricey, but Ill just add it to the expenditures. I can let the H&T Corp borrow it from time to time whenever there is an event.
It would stay inside my room for the rest of the time.
I have to keep it in tip-top shape everyday, after all!
We went to two other countries after that.
Halt-sama hadnt been to these places after his reincarnation, so we got there by my flight magic.
One of them was an allied country made up of smaller kingdoms. The inn where we had fond memories of was still there in the same spot as it was in the past.
It was the inn where Haruto-sama and I slept on the same bed for the first time.
I remembered how my heart was about to burst back then.
We have to go back and stay here again next time.
The other country was the Kingdom of the Dwarves.
It was the place where Haruto-sama chose a dagger for me.
The store no longer existed, but the shop owner dwarf was still alive and working exclusively for the imperial family, apparently.
Halt-sama and I discussed visiting this place again when were free enough to stay a bit longer, and how nice it would if we could meet with him once again.
It had gotten pretty dark by now.
The next country would be our last stop.
I mulled about where to go next, when
Theres one place I want to take Tina to, but will it be okay with you if we go there?
Yes, its fine!
Halt-sama had a place in mind apparently.
Where are we going?
I would follow you wherever you want though.
Youll know when we get there, so look forward to it!
Alright, I understand.
I took Halt-samas outstretched hand, and the teleportation magic was activated.
