Chapter 40 – Festival

Uhm…

It’s my first time taking off my hat, so I’m a little nervous.

Until now, I had taken my hat off even when I was sleeping in a room like Yongsarang, but unlike that time, I’m outside now.

That’s interesting.

Originally, I didn’t even wear a hat, but now I feel anxious without a hat. While I was thinking about what to do because it was too big to carry around, the warrior kept my hat in his own subspace. He said he would return it when he returned to his lodgings, so he nodded his head.

You may think that not wearing a hat is a big deal, but when the thing you usually carry disappears, don’t you feel like something is missing?

I just feel that way right now.

“I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Rumia take off her hat…”

Saying that, Cecilia walked around me.

At first, I was stuck at an inn alone because I was worried about myself, and then I broke up with the kids, so I wondered if I should go out with the dragon and I, but fortunately, I was able to meet with the help of others while wandering around.

It seems that Cecilia and Ruril were also looking for the hero with me.

“Your hair is so amazing..”

Ruril, who came next to me, stroked my hair and said so.

My hair did look a little strange.

What can I say… If I put it well, it’s mysterious and strangely beautiful, and if I put it badly, it looks like mint poured with blueberries and mixed. The latter is probably the most lively description of my hair.

Actually, I can hear the sound, but I’m trying to act as if I can’t hear it, so I’m afraid I’ll keep making mistakes, so I’m wondering if I should use magic to make it really inaudible. It was just a while ago that I asked while combing my hair, so I had the right to look back.

It’s hard to imagine that this will be the case in the future.

I’d rather use magic so I can roughly figure out what it means even if I can’t hear the words. It would be great if we could go there with the same feeling.. I don’t know if such a thing was possible in the game, so I can’t act hastily.

How did you communicate with each other in the game?

When there is paper, it is enough to just talk roughly through paper, but in times like now when there is no paper, there is no way to have a conversation with them. That said, I’m still thinking about whether or not I have to blow up something like telepathy for something like this.

Although the amount of mana required to use telepathy is on the high side, it doesn’t take that much mana if Rumia uses it, so it doesn’t matter too much. Even so, the reason I don’t use telepathy is simply because Rumia isn’t the type to use telepathy just for this kind of thing.

Although I decided to be sincere with the hero, it was basically to act like Rumia but not hide my feelings, not at all to act like Rumia and Nabal.

Lumia spoke, that is to say, telepathically, only spoke to her at important moments in the game. Other than that, she always accepted any prank with a smile.
He only hardened his expression at the slightest prank, but did not say anything telepathically.

My original personality was like that, but now touching my hair isn’t too much of a joke, it’s just touching it like it’s strange, so I just smiled and looked at the two of them.

“Ummm.. Hero.”

“Huh?”

“Is Rumia really not listening to us?”

To Ruril’s question, the hero answered yes with a solemn expression.

Cecilia, you don’t need to ask because you know that I’m deaf after traveling with you, but Ruril probably won’t. It hadn’t been long since we met, so I only heard that I couldn’t listen and couldn’t do it, but I didn’t have much time to notice it myself.

It’s not unusual to ask.

“I see..”

Ruril, who made a sad expression toward me, soon stopped looking at me.

Maybe it’s because he cares about me.

Even if you can show a pity for a person who is not feeling well for a while, if you keep looking at them with that gaze, you will feel very bad from the perspective of receiving that gaze. Well, it’s not really like that, so I don’t feel too bad when I get that kind of attention.

“Something… It always makes me sad when I see Rumia.”

“Huh?”

In the meantime, Cecilia, who was looking around at me, said with a thoughtful expression. I wanted to ask what the hell that meant, but as I always keep in mind, I couldn’t hear her, so I held back and tilted her head toward Cecilia, who was looking at me and thinking hard.

“Rumia is also very pretty and cute.. But she doesn’t dress up properly..”

What?

“That’s right… We haven’t been together for very long, but so far, we’ve always had the same clothes… Of course, since we’re traveling, I think that’s possible, but he’s wearing such a drab robe and a big cone hat that doesn’t fit his body. It’s kind of like that because I’m on the go… I want to see you dressed up!”

Ruril also looked at me as if influenced by Cecile’s words and said that.

No, what kind of crazy bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?

What? You’re making me up?

No what is that…

Saying so, Cecilia turned to her hero.

It seemed as if she was asking the hero what he was doing, so I turned her head and looked at her hero.

“Uh.. So… Rumia, they say they want to decorate you?”

“..?”

No, do you say it directly again?

I know that I have no choice but to say it directly because I am in the position to tell you what is going on, but I am not sure how to react to this since I have never been like this in the game. Cecilia, noticing that I was riding a sucker, took my hand with her eyes shining.

Uh, no wait.

“First of all, if you want to decorate something, you have to put on clothes!”

Uhhhhh…?!

“I want to go too!”

Gee, really?

Are you thinking of dressing me now?

Above all, I haven’t even answered properly yet, so why are you running with me as if you’re in a hot mood? Being a saint, it would be normal for her strength to be weak, but for some reason, it was difficult to shake off Cecilia’s hand. Seeing that even the saintess Cecilia couldn’t resist, it seemed that I was the weakest here.

Come to think of it, Lumia’s status is a strange status where only magic power is abnormally high… At least it seems that Cecilia’s strength stat was much higher than Rumia’s.

I can’t shake it, I can’t even speak.

Oh my..

“Hero, come quickly too!”

“Uh.. That, yes!”

Yes money!

There is no need to decorate it, but decorating it would be a waste of money, so why not dig into it? At least in the game, since I was the subject, there was no such thing as an unexpected action, so I don’t know, but it would be if it was Lumia’s personality!

Looking at the hero’s bewildered expression, he must have never experienced anything like this in the past.

Surely it will.

– Yo, warrior.. Too, it’s going to be a waste of money, so dry it quickly..!

“Uh, guys…”

Ok, fine!

I looked at the warrior with a look of anticipation.

“They say it’s better not to do it because Rumia is a waste of money.”

“What?”

I thought he would tell me like a man, but I was quite hesitant.

Anyway, I’m just glad you said it.

I looked at the two as if they were wondering, but Cecilia had an expression that seemed somewhat laughable.

“You mean money is not enough?”

“Uh? No, it’s not like that…”

“Don’t worry. Because there is plenty of money.”

Saying so, Cecilia took a pouch from her bosom and placed it on her hand, pouring in what was inside.

Then the gold coins inside began to pour out.

There were so many of them that several fell to the ground.

The warrior opened his mouth wide.

“How is it? As a saint in her own way, she received a lot of support from her. In the future, she will have the support of the Holy Land, so there will be no shortage of money. This much is fine.”

Crazy.

No, then why the hell did I buy everything with my own money when I was playing games?

If the saintess had so much money, why did no money come to me? Just by looking at it, it was gold that was several times the bounty he had previously received. At some point, Ruril, who picked up all of her gold that had fallen on her floor, handed it to Cecilia and put it in her pocket.

“How is it?”

Why?

It’s normal to look cool, but Cecilia looks scared today.

“Because there are many things to buy before going on a trip.”

This way, she no longer had any reason to refuse as Rumia. The reason I rejected it in the first place was because it was a waste of money, but since there was an abundance of money and people who spent money said it was okay, I had nothing to say.

“Now, shall we go?”

Cecilia smiled at her eyes as she said so.
