3. Morning

 

More than a week passed since we left for the trip.
When I raise my body from the sofa, my spine makes cracking sound. As expected it was unpleasant to sleep on a hard sofa. My whole back hurts.
Originally i should use the bed, but it was already in use. Albeit i said that, renting a room with two bed is expensive.

“Unn~.Maa, let’s just endure it a bit more … “

While i muttering, the mentioned bed’s occupier……. tsubaki opened her eyes. Black and glossy hair is shining in the morning sun that comes through the window.
She came from the eastern country. If i have to say similiar a place in earth, Japan would be appropriate[1]. Her appearance is like a half-ish Japanese beautiful girl, though she’s such ambiance, honestly if compared to groups of japanese beautiful girl her cuteness won’t lose.
On top of that her body shape is also very well-balanced, as i unintentionally look at her roughed pajama. Well shaped chest, decent waist, slightly plump butt. In addition emenating faint adultish aura.

“Hn, good morning. Trell…….fuaa~~”
“Good morning. Do you feel refreshed?”
“More or less. Rather how about you? ”
“Somewhat”

……..Normally, you can’t stay in a room together with such beautiful girl.
However, i’m not proud to say this, no, i’m proud to say this but, i and tsubaki are in love relationship with each other.
Since i’m former Japanese, it’s one of the reasons why i’m attracted to camellia. But the main reason is her both lively and sweet combined personality.
She seems like a cold person, but towards a familiar person she is a reasonably friendly person. At first she is timid as meek as a lamb[2]., but as I talked with her repeatedly she revealed a cheerful and amiable look, i enjoyed this image.

“Un……!!  But we’re going to arrive today’s noon right?  I can’t wait~! ”
“It’s not good if you’re too frolic okay. Sheesh”
“Trell is just uselessly too serious”
“Okay okay……well, it’s about time to get out. Let’s prepare”

We quickly dressed and went out of the room with our bags together. We walked out in the wooden corridor and went outside, the lively atmosphere of the morning market was completely everywhere. Many merchants shout loudly to sell food items, daily necessities, and weapons on the main street where morning mist remains.
The civilization level of this world is, so to speak, medieval. Basically there are no objects like the Internet and airplanes.
However, there were several substitutes similar to the tools of the original world. There’s transmission magic tool that plays a role like a mobile phone. Some part of civilization’s level is same as in Japan, such as a projector sound machine that emit and display images, and a recording board that saves the image.

“…… Anyway he’s late, that Halma'”
“Oooohhhhhh~, crap, i overslept!”

The moment I grumbled so, while rushing noisily, a guy one head taller than he, jumped out from the window.
Though he has masculine face his complexion looks bad, and his short blond hair is disheveled too. His bodybuild is good, but gives off impression of going to collapse somewhere.
He is a childhood friend who lives in the same village with us.
His dream seems to be a mercenary to wander the world, he leave the village in accordance with following me and tsubaki. Though we’ve been traveling together, the schedule is a for us to part today.

“Zee~, zee~[3]………why you didn’t wake me up?”
“You told me you’re going to get up on your own”
“Still…….”

As I approached, i smelled scent of alcohol[4].. This guy, he drank too much.
At the age of seventeen, if you’re that old you’re allowed to drink in this world. I and tsubaki rarely drink, but halma drinks frequently. Every time he take a room separately with us, it’s for the sake to drink the alcohol he likes.

“Uwaa, a liquor!  You drank too much.”
“Well, t-, that’s……”
“Don’t open your mouth, it awfully smells like alcohol …….”
“Aren’t you too mean?”
“It’s the truth though”
“…….Well, it certainly smells. It might be better to wash my mouth once again.”

And like this, tsubaki sometimes speaks like a thorn. However it’s not like it’s distasteful, basically it’s rated as straightforward.
When Halma reluctantly returned to the inn, he brushed his mouth. As expected he still reeks of alcohol as expected but, well, it’s kind of better this time.
Three people begin walking in the middle of the morning market.

“Trell, why do you even date a girl that can’t coat sugar on her words?”[5].
“The one who do better be coat sugar is halma though”
“I think a candy is enough, in my opinion”
“Fufu~, probably”
“So mean, you couples are …….”

While we’re having familiar quarrel-like conversation, we look for a nice shop for breakfast. It’s probably the last time to have a meal with three people, and i’m in the mood to eat good things for a bit too.

…… Even so, from early morning brazen things like dildo and lotion-like liquid, and even condom is being sold by a shop in morning market, i don’t know what to say. Though the other two try to not look at it, since it’s not really drawing attention i guess it’s a common scene. I’m just haven’t gotten used to it for a bit.
The said condom isn’t made from rubber resin and the like. It is made using the membrane and film of demons.
Although it’s an item to help couples, but neither I nor tsubaki have ever used it. It doesn’t we mean we’re doing it raw, we haven’t do it in the first place.

“…………”
“What happened?”
“No, it’s nothing”

…… We’ve past confession, we’ve past holding hand too, we also more or less have kissed.
However, little progress has been made since then. We both at the age that should be strongly interested in sex yet, that itself, is the reason i avoid using word sex[6]..
I’m also know that Tsubaki sometimes goes to the bathroom rustling doing it, conversely tsubaki should be also know that i relief it myself.
I tried to borrow the power of sake once, but we just stayed in the sight of each other’s nakedness.

And so all of that lead to the present. I’m probably going to be busy from now on, so I won’t have time more than now.

“… Trell, it’s okay even if you don’t rush. We also talked that even if the saint and the attendant do it during pilgrimage it won’t get find out right?”
“That’s true though. I just feel guilty.”
“Seems stupid”
“It’s a job you can’t do carefreely”

…… The occupation that I and Tsubaki aim for. It’s the attendant and the saint.
To sum it up, the saint receives sacred divine protection and to carry out treatment and relief in various places kind of occupation. The attendant is her escort.
As for why such a profession exists, this world suffered great damage in the great war with the demonic group called the Demonlord Army about ten years ago.
After all, the great war ended with victory by the human side, but the damage such as demons and plague remained, and the saint was necessary to heal it. It’s obvious but not everyone can do it.
Tsubaki’s backbreaking effort came to fruition, with restoration magic to some extend she acquired saint-apprentice title.

“Hmm … … maybe because the Holy city is close. The number of similar kind of people increased.”
“Other apprentice-pair are moving with carriage, i’m a bit envious ……..”
“It’s impossible for us poor villager”

Saint’s basic attire is a style to wear a white robe from the top. This town is relatively close to the holy city, there are many apprentices and attendants of the saint who stay like us.
…… Going to the holy city, is for saint apprentice to receive baptism ceremony. By doing so you can publicly using saint title to lend a hand with your ability. For the attendant before that or after that’s basic stance doesn’t change but, the capability to use martial arts reasonably is necessary.
I’m not boasting but, I don’t feel like losing to run-of-the-mill guys.

Then, there was a fragrant smell from somewhere. When I looked at it, at the stand there’s hot sandwich with a lot of ingredients jammed being sold.
Ham and vegetables, also egg. There’s plenty of it, it made me unintentionally gulped.

“Okay. Let’s eat this today.”
“Ah~, it’s the one that i want to try to eat before!”

Tsubaki is delightedly pleased, we head towards the stand’s front.
Especially at the first city, she was shivering like a flag, but nowadays she became to hold interest at here and there like a child.
Nnn~~, I’m deeply moved.
As i’m thinking of that, the ordered amount of hot sandwich finished cooking, and we receive those piping hot sandwich from the shop’s old man.

Care to drink wine? Halma asked so, and two of us replied with refusal. I think he’ll became an alcoholic this year.

“… … Well then we should depart. The pedestrian have become crowded too, it seems we won’t find a place to eat peacefully”
“You’re right. One thing and another made us a bit late too. ”
“I’ll escort until the holy city properly okay.”
“I think it’s better if halma don’t pick a fight until you sober up”
“Since it’ll be a bother if you throw up like before”
“I’m already sobered up so it’s fine.”

In this way, while exchanging such trifling talk leave the town.
In the afternoon we’ll arrive at the holy city, tsubaki’ll become a saint, and halma will part there and go to another city.

…… Today, our life changes greatly.

Walking out while holding a lot of hot sandwich. Tsubaki that keeps eating with a full smile was lovely.
