Trucker Meets a Suspicious Person

Sponsored Content

“Stardust” is a popular women’s accessory store that also offers a wide variety of other products such as clothing, cosmetics, and other items for women.

The building is located almost in the center of the city, and its size is like a huge building.
It seems that there are several restaurants and stores in addition to the store.
Amazing.

 

“Sure, it’s awesome, but as far as I’m concerned, I think this one is amazing too ……”

“Well, it’s the face of this city.”

“Wow.
…… ‘Stardust’ main branch, across the street from …….”

 

Yes, across the street from “Stardust” stood the cathedral, the symbol of the city.
And it is huge.
It’s like the Sagrada Familia, a World Heritage site.

I wonder how it was built.
I am not interested in religion, but I think this cathedral is worth seeing.
Let’s go there when we are done shopping.

 

“But first things first.”

“Yes!! Let’s go, Shiny, Kota-san!!”

“Wait a minute, Mireina!!”

 

 

Mireina started to run and we chased after her.

 

 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

 

 

At the entrance of the store, I gave them both some money.

 

“Mireina, Shiny, here’s some money for you.”

“Eh!? That’s okay!?”

“This is a reserve, is it not?”

“Oh.
I hardly spent any money, and it’s our first time working together, so we’re going to go all out.
This time it’s special.”

“Wow, you’re good, President.”

“Jyu, a hundred thousand coins.”

“Just this once.
Next time, you’ll have to pay out of your own paycheck.”

 

By the way, Tama is in charge of accounting.　

If you think about it, Mireina is my secretary and tea-person.
I haven’t done any accounting work yet because I haven’t received any money yet.

I’m going to ask her to make a list of the incoming money and calculate the expenses.

There are no receipts in this world.
It looks like there would be a receipt if I could get her to write one down.
I’ll just list this withdrawal entry as ‘Mireina, Shiny allowance’ or something like that.

 

“Kota-san, Kota-san, I want to see the accessories, Kota-san, please choose one.”

“Oh, me!?”

“Oh, well, I’m going to join too!!”

“Hey, Shiny!!”

“That’s not fair, Shiny.
I’m in it too!!”

“Ohh!?”

 

No way, definitely not with your arms around me!

And both arms.
Two beautiful girls have their arms tightly around me and won’t let go of me!! Don’t tell me that at 26 years of age, I’ve reached the age of popularity!? Disgraceful!!

“…..
What are you crying about?”

 

 

Oh man, I think I was crying because I was too emotional.

 

 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

 

 

The main Stardust branch looked like a commercial building like the ones in modern Japan.
More than half of the customers were women, and most of the men were probably luggage carriers.
The sight of women in groups of adventurers dragging their companions around for shopping was quite disturbing.

 

“Well, girl adventurers don’t have time to dress up.
This shop sells accessories that are not only fashionable but also effective as equipment, so you can enjoy yourself in a variety of ways.”

“Kota-san, look at this.
What do you think of this!!”

“I wonder, how about a more mature ……..collection for Mireina…….?”

“Wow, beautiful necklace…”

“Some monsters breathe fire or lightning.
You must have accessories with protection for each of these attributes.
Of course, they are expensive.”

“Mireina, when you wear a suit, you wear your hair up, don’t you? Then this necklace glitters around your neck….
I like it.”

“Well, isn’t it ….
embarrassing?”

“And how about a pair of earrings to go with it? These white ones.”

“These are pearls from the epilithic shell.
They can be artificially bred and are inexpensive, but they are beautiful.”

“My armor is made of high mithril and has the effect of nullifying water and ice.
This is a first-class piece of armor made from the outer shell of a dangerous species, the Mithril Lizard, which I defeated by myself………..
Well, it was a baby.”

“You know a lot about jewelry, don’t you, Kota-san?”

“No, it was a long time ago.
I worked part-time cleaning at a jewelry store.
I learned it from a senior colleague.”

“Oh, really? Is that so?”

“Hey, listen to me!”

 

In a space lined with relatively inexpensive jewelry, we were browsing the merchandise.
Mireina’s head is scurrying around excitedly.

I think Shiny caught her lightly staring.
She’s not interested in the conversation, nor is she interested in the outfit.

 

“Sorry, sorry, how about this bracelet ……….
that would look great on Shiny?”

“Which one is …..
Heh, that’s a good one.
A blue light stone bracelet?”

“Wow, I guess blue goes well with Shiny!!”

“Yes.
It’s so beautiful.”

“Oh, don’t give me too many compliments…….”

 

Ugh, Shiny cute, blushing and turning away.

Yeah.
The usual cheeky attitude of the girl is very destructive.
This is a weapon that only Shiny can have, and that Mireina can’t imitate.
What am I saying?

 

“Okay, next is Kota-san”

“Let’s pick out some accessories that will look good on the president.”

 

 

Thus, we enjoyed our shopping spree.

 

 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

 

 

After shopping, we unloaded our bags onto the truck and went to our next location.

 

“Cathedral…huh ….
it is huge!”

 

The truck pulls up to the space where the cathedral carriages are parked, we get out, and we look up at the cathedral.
Then Shiny came back with something from a woman nearby.

 

“Look, look, I got a pamphlet.”

“Which one is it? Oh, it’s called ‘Ellison Cathedral’?”

“The cathedral is where Saint Chris was given the authority.
It says, “Saint Chris” is the messenger of God’s gift of healing miracles, saving and healing all those she touches.”

“Hey Saint …”

“Well, I guess she’s not here right now.
She is currently on her way with a brave warrior from that unknown land to defeat the Demon King, the king of calamities.”

“That land….
?”

“Yes.
That’s what the pamphlet says.”

 

Unknown land, huh? In this kind of tempestuous situation, it’s a brave warrior summoned from another world.
He is young and good looking, forms a harem with all the girls in his party, and after he defeats the Demon King, he takes all of them as his wives.

 

“Blast off!!”

“Kya!!”

“Whoa!? What the hell is going on!?”

“I’m sorry.
My heart just screamed.”

 

 

Guess I’m not so different…..?

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

 

 

The cathedral was spacious and the decorations were amazing.

My vocabulary is too poor to give an impression.
All I know is that every single pillar is elaborately decorated.
I wonder how much they would charge you if you dropped and broke stained glass window or a high-class vase in this world.

 

“Amazing!”

“The Ellison Cathedral took hundreds of years to build.
The exact number of days is unknown.”

“That makes sense…”

 

Employees, which is strange to say, but women who look like sisters are coming and going.
I’ve never seen them before, but they are all beautiful.

As the three of us were looking at a mural, we heard a woman’s voice from behind us.

 

“Do you believe in God?”

“What? Oh, wow!?”

 

When I turned around, I saw a sister there.

The sisters here wear black nun’s clothes, but this one wears a white one.
Her face was that of a beautiful young girl, her soft smile was admirable, and her hair, peeking out from her hood, was pure white.
Her eyes were green like emeralds, kind of doll-like, which surprised me a little.

 

“Do you believe in God?”

“Yes? God?”

“Yes.
You are loved by the Lord.
The aura of blessing that surrounds you is the best proof.”

“Ha … ha.”

 

Oh no.
I shouldn’t get involved with this type.

What’s an aura? I’m not a psychic.

 

“What’s wrong? It’s so rare to see a pure white Sister.”

“……Oh god bless this blue girl.”

“Huh?”

“God has given me ……..pfft.”

 

Sister looked at Shiny and blurted out.
It’s some kind of silly laugh.

 

“Hey, what’s the matter with you, you just laughed at me!”

“No, no, God’s blessing reaches everyone.
Just pray and you’ll be happy, okay?”

“I don’t believe in God.
I believe that happiness is in one’s own hands.”

“I see.
Good luck.”

“Are you trying to pick a fight!?”

“Okay, Shiny, calm down.”

“You are loved by God …..”

“What? Wow, is it me?”

“Yes.
You are loved by God …….
an erotic god with a bit of an ulterior motive.”

“What?”

“It is God’s blessing that I find eroticism in your everyday gestures.
Like the nape of your neck when you lift your beautiful blonde hair, or the way you usually let your hair flow but show it off in a tidy bun at work.”

“… Eh, erotic?”

 

This woman can do it.

I thought I was the only one who would notice Mireina’s sudden eroticism, but I didn’t expect such a sister to spot it.
I mean…

 

“Oh, um, can I help you?”

“Oops, excuse me.
I was attracted by your aura.
Excuse me, where are you from?”

“Uh, yeah, um, Zenimouke.”

“Zenimouke…..
hmmm.
I’m sorry, it wasn’t Ole Sanjo.”

“Don’t just say things that don’t make sense.
If you’ve done what you had to do, go away.”

“I’m sorry I’m late.
I am Kirie.
My name is Kirie Ellison, a sister of the cathedral.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I can help you.
I’m Kota.”

“Hey!! Don’t ignore this thing!!”

“Oh, Shiny, please calm down.”

 

The Sister, who introduced herself as Kirie, lowers her head and stares at me.

 

“You have the air of a brave man.
You have black hair and black eyes ….., but you are more loved by God.”

“Huh.”

“Are you a brave man? A hero, the legendary one?”

“Yes.
They are heroes who were summoned from another world and have only recently appeared.
They are loved ones just like you, and they have come to this land in search of companionship.
And they have set out again, taking my sister Chris with them.”

“Chris, Saint Chris?”

“Yes.
I am Chris’s sister.”

“…”　

“Kota-san?”

 

I listened to the whole thing and held my head in my hands.

What did this person just say?

 

 

A brave hero summoned from another world? I’m definitely not going to get involved in that kind of thing, because I don’t want to be a part of it.
