「Okay, how about we go now? It’s not dangerous outside, but still, stay close」
「Okay, I’ll stay with Daiki-sama all the time」
「Ah, I want the other side too! I guess this one will do」
Nia grabs my right hand and clings to my arm.
Euphy saw that and she held my left arm
「Let’s go…It feels natural like usual, but this won’t do」
As I put on my shoes at the door, I realized something.
The idea of having two underage girls out in the open…
Both of them look like foreigners at first glance, so it might not be surprising that their communication is like this.
However, it still stands out.
I explained it to them and they slowly backed away.
We can’t help it then. We have to follow the customs of this country so we’ll put up with it」
「If Daiki-nii can’t, then I’ll just hold hands with Euphy-nee, right?」
Both sides are lonely, but I’m grateful that they’re reasonable. Thus, I opened the front door.
After that, the heat that flowed in made them frown.
「And it’s hot outside today」
「Woah! It’s hot, it’s stuffing!!」
It seems like the Japanese summer baptized her immediately, and not only Nia, but Euphy also expressed her discomfort.
「It’s the warm season over here, and it’s very humid. We’ll get a ride soon, and it will be cool in the building that we’re going so bear with me for the moment」
I told them and walked through the door, and after walking a bit further, they stopped in their tracks.
「What’s wrong?」
「No, nothing, it’s just that we’re up high」
「Oh yeah. The curtains were closed so you didn’t see outside. You say that it’s high, but this is just the third floor. Look, you see some tall buildings over there, right?」
「T-This dwelling isn’t much compared to its surroundings. I heard about it, but this is amazing. These huge mansions exceed my imagination.」
Euphy’s already in culture shock after a few stops out of the front door.
Fuahaha, now you know how I feel over there.
「Hey, hey, what’s that?」
I was amused by Euphy’s reaction, then this time Nia’s surprised, and her mouth’s agape.
I looked where she was pointing and saw a radio tower emerging from the roof of the building.
「That sends radio waves far away. If I recall, that’s the best one currently out there」
「It looks like a huge monster. A strong one」
「It looks like a home for dragons…」
The two looked at the radio tower and started some fun fantasies in their head.
「I told you girls, there are no monsters here. Don’t stop there」
If they’re already surprised just a few steps out of the house, what will happen once we walk around the town?
I’m a little concerned, so I pushed them and got into the elevator.
They were also surprised by the elevator as it started moving automatically, but they were less shocked compared to the radio tower.
When we got to the first floor, we got off the elevator, and the two followed, leaning shoulder to shoulder and looking around cautiously.
「T-There’s so many things I’ve never seen before」
「Woah, they don’t have a horse yet the carriage is moving by itself」
That’s the first impression they got after leaving the apartment.
They sound like someone who traveled in time from the past.
「Nyoooo!! Euphy-nee, there’s another huge building. It’s bigger than a fort」
「That’s much bigger than the Nyhied’s main castle…and there are several of them」
After a short walk, they stopped again and were amazed at what they saw.
There are a lot of buildings along the street we’re walking on now.
They’re not comparable to the skyscrapers in the city center, but they’re definitely taller than the castle.
We can’t see the base of the building from here so we don’t know how far it extends, and they can’t recognize that each of them are independent buildings, so they’re misjudging the scale.
「H-Hey, what are those stone pillars with ropes tied to them? It scares me」
「I think I know that, Nia. That’s a technique to attach a huge monster to the ground to seal it in place. I learned that it’s used by a family that hunts large demons in the country far north of Mugdam. B-But, this scale… Those stone pillars are so sturdy, and placed like they go on forever, what are they sealing? W-What a scary world」
Hahaha.
If I were to continue listening to their conversation without saying anything, they’d be imagining things that’ll blow their imagination.
I couldn’t hold my laughter that air’s puffing out of my nose.
The two noticed that I was walking off and rushed back to me.
The distance is much closer than before, and now they’re sticking to my back.
It’s a little hot, but I’ll put up with it because they look like they’re freaking out.
「Girls, get in here」
As soon as we reached the main street, I hailed a taxi.
I turned around and beckoned the girls to get in, and they came running. Though it was just a few steps, they were surprised, frozen at the edge of the sidewalk at the sight of so many cars
「You girls keep getting surprised」
「D-Daiki-sama! There are so much fearsome objects in this world!」
「Daiki-nii, are we getting in there? You sure? Are we going to be okay?」
Euphy and Nia were clinging to me with worried looks.
「I know that you’re scared, but it’s fine, relax. Get in」
I pushed both of them into the taxi.
The girls did as they were told but they didn’t hide their anxious looks.
I feel a little sorry for them, but it seems like there will be no end if I try to explain everything to them, so I’ll let them get used to it, even if I have to be a bit pushy here.
I pushed them in and I got in the back seat.
Normally, I’d be in the passenger seat, both of them are petite enough that there’s still room.
After telling the driver our destination, the car starts to drive off.
At first, the two seemed fearful but curious about what was going on inside the car, but after a little while, their interest turned to the scenery outside the window.
Euphy follows the view, shaking her face repeatedly, while Nia who’s sitting in the middle, looks out with her hand on my thigh.
It’s not hard for her to stay like this, but let’s switch seats.
I grabbed Nia’s waist and carried her, then repositioned her to my seat.
Now that it was easier to look outside, Nia kept looking at the approaching radio tower.
「Hey, we’re approaching the tower, are we going there?」
「Yes. There are a lot of shops there. They sell most of what you need, and there are also restaurants, so it’s convenient. And so, we’re sightseeing there」
「I see. So that’s what it is. There are no monsters there, right?」
「Haha, I told you, there’s none I went over there and bought those clothes, remember? Why are you so afraid?」
「I mean, there are a lot of stories about strong demons in places like that」
「Those are stories from that side, not here, so don’t worry. Why would there be any houses or anything built so close here?」
「Oh, you’re right. Oh, so there’s none here for real..」
Nia’s still not convinced, but it seems that her fears have calmed down.
Curiosity has become more apparent on her face as she gazes at the radio tower.
I was about to turn my head to see what Euphy was up to, then my eyes suddenly met the driver’s through the mirror.
「Sir, what language was that? It’s not French or Spanish」
「Huh? Oh right. It’s from the Nordic countries」
「Oh, I see. That’s why it’s not familiar to me. So those kids must be from the Nordic countries too? They’re quite the beauty, aren’t they? They look like dolls」
「Yes, and both of them have bright futures with their beauty」
He’s quite the senior driver, so he talks quite a bit.
I don’t have a problem with that, but it’s hard to answer.
But, this is a good opportunity.
Let’s continue talking.
「I guess drivers, by nature of their profession, pick up passengers from many countries, what did you hear from the conversation by the way?」
「Hmm, let’s see. At first, it gave me the impression that it’s German」
「I didn’t know that, I got used to it so I don’t even know what it sounds like. Thanks」
I see. So that’s what it sounds like.
「Nia, come here」
「What?」
「Say “Pussy”」
「Daii-nii, what’s wrong? Did you hit your head? Do you want others to hear that? Are you crazy?」
「I won’t ask again. Nia’s voice is so cute so I just want to hear it. Please」
「G-Geez… P-Pussy…」
「 Thanks, Nia. You’re the best」
Her face is so cute that she worries about the driver.
After staring at her, she suddenly looked away and out of the window.
I was poking the embarrassed Nia, then I feel a gaze behind me.
I turned my head and saw Euphy, and she was giving me a rebuking look.
Usually, she’s a yes-man, but she’s being responsible at times like this
Oh man, she’s angry that I made Nia do that
「Euphy, don’t get angry This was a test」
「A test?」
「Yes, a language test Our conversations here aren’t understood by the people in this world, so I found that I was switching languages even though I wasn’t conscious of it The results are splendid」
Well, I’m pretty sure that the driver didn’t know what the conversation was about. He didn’t respond at all when I said the word “pussy,” so I knew that the language would instantly switch at that point.
While I’m sure that the driver didn’t understand the conversation, he didn’t respond at all even when I said “pussy,” so I know that the language would switch instantly at that point.
「Daiki-sama? Does that mean that he didn’t find out when Daiki-sama said such obscenity, why did you make Nia say it」
Seems like I couldn’t fool Euphy.
「Phew, exposed」
「Daiki-nii, that’s cruel」
Nia angrily taps my arm.
Meanwhile, the taxi reached the destination, the radio tower.
