I told him he could stay here, but Yuusuke wouldnβt listen and insisted on going back home.
Perhaps, heβs embarrassed now that he knows I am a woman.
Or perhaps, he doesnβt find me attractive as a woman.
Does he find a plain and gloomy woman like me uninteresting?
However, I donβt feel like thatβs what this is about.
Yuusuke is just sincere and cares about me.
He is not like a certain lecherous King. When I came to that realization, the feeling of loneliness in my heart immediately disappeared.
[Well then, Iβll see you later in front of the dungeon.]
Our meeting time and place are the same as before, but something feels different from our usual rendezvous.
After all, we are now dating.
[Iβll make lunch again today, so you donβt have to buy lunch.]
[Sorry for troubling you as always. Howeverβ¦β¦]
After a pause, Yuusuke smiles.
[I will have to ask you that. Michelleβs meals taste the best after all.]
Those words alone make me want to jump into Yuusukeβs chest.
I really donβt want him to go anywhere, but I pushed those feelings away and sent him on his way.
[I went to the trouble of buying this, but it seems like I didnβt need itβ¦β¦]
I threw the manacles I had bought to restrain Yuusuke into the trash.
I didnβt really intend to confine him.
I just wanted to use these to fasten Yuusuke to me.
I felt like it was the only thing that would make me feel relieved.
However, I donβt need this anymore.
After all, weβve really started dating!

I met Michelle in front of the dungeon and she was wearing a silver mask as usual.
The fact that I have discovered her true identity doesnβt change the fact that sheβs a wanted criminal.
For a while (not sure how long it will be), sheβll have to keep disguising herself like that.
[Good morning.]
Her voice is the same low hoarse voice as usual.
Once again, I realized how amazing the Recognition Inhibition Magic is.
With that magic, I donβt think anyone will realize that this person is actually a girl.
[Letβs get going then.]
We walked down the stairs to the dungeon side by side.
There was nothing unusual about Michelleβs appearance.
Itβs just, I think we are standing a little closer to each other.
Our shoulders touched each other as we descended the stairs.
Once we arrived at the location in front of the onsen, I opened the store by thinking βOpenβ in my mind.
[Oh, the gachapon had been restocked.]
Because the Gnomes had bought everything, the gachapon had been out of stock for a long time, but today, the contents were suddenly replaced by new items.
Product name: Capsule Toy: Waterproof Notebook and Mini Pencil (6 types in total)
Description: A set of mini waterproof notebooks and pencils that can be used even in heavy downpours. Itβs also fireproof.
Price: 200 rims
The capsule itself is bigger than before, but the price is 100 rims cheaper.
When I bought one to try it out, I found a notepad slightly smaller than the palm of my hand and a thin pencil about 4 cm long inside.
The cover of the notepad is red with a cool design of a flame crest.
It seems that six different designs can be acquired from the gachapon: earth, water, fire, wind, light and dark.
In this world, quills and ink are the most common writing tools, and I have never seen anything that looks like a pencil.
Paper does exist, but the paper I have seen in this world is rough and of poor quality.
In comparison, this notebook looks very sturdy.
I scribbled my signature on it and the writing was surprisingly smooth.
I have read that in my previous life, special forces personnel carried waterproof notebooks.
Theyβre apparently called Tactical Notebooks.
There may be a demand for this type of notebook among adventurers in this world.
[Whatβs that?]
Merle, who had come to visit the shop, immediately noticed the new item.
She has always been on the lookout for new things.
[This is a writing tool set. Itβs an item whose writing wonβt smudge even if it gets wet in the rain, and it apparently also has a certain level of fire resistance as well.]
[Really?]
Mira also looked interested.
[Itβs true. Thatβs what was written in the introduction. If you think Iβm lying, you can try it out.]
I handed her my notebook.
[Iβll take you for your word then. Ei!]
Mira suddenly wraps the notebook in her Aqua Ball magic.
[Oi, oi, no matter how waterproof it isβ¦β¦ Oya?]
[Amazing! It really doesnβt tear apart.]
The pages started sticking to each other, but it didnβt seem to tear apart or smudge.
Even my poorly-doodled signature was clearly legible.
Mira immediately played with the gachapon and got a notebook with a water design.
Mira isnβt the only one who wanted a waterproof notebook, as Guile and the others also spun the gacha.
[Weβre a bunch of forgetful idiots, but if we wrote the route here, it would help us explore the inner regions.]
The notebook certainly would be great for mapping out the dungeon.
That morning alone, the new gacha had been pulled about nine times.
Michelle had also pulled once and won a dark notebook.
I donβt think this is something I should be saying, but the dark design really does fit herβ¦β¦
Michelle didnβt bring it along in an exploration for the dungeon though, just sitting next to me and writing something down in her little notebook.
[Hey, arenβt you gonna go exploring?]
[If I write thisβ¦β¦]
[Are you writing a research report or something?]
[Noβ¦β¦ A love poemβ¦β¦]
[I- I seeβ¦..]
[Do you want to read it?]
It feels strange, as I want to see it and at the same time, I donβt.
What could be written in such a dark-designed notebook?
Magical words of love?
Michelleβs wishes?
I wonβt be cursed by reading that, rightβ¦β¦?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
