Chapter 1: The beginning, Shinji joined
"Haaaa!"
With a flash, the swordsman\'s sword cuts off the kobold\'s head. When the swordsman looks around, he sees that all the kobolds have fallen down. He then turned to his companions who are waiting behind him.
"There is no sign of any other monsters. It looks like the battle is over"
A wizard called the swordsman from behind.
"Al-kun, thank you for your hard work. Are you injured?"
The swordsman and the female priest.
"Al, please wait. I\'m going to collect the monster\'s parts as soon as possible!"
The female ranger, carrying her bow on her back, pulls out the dagger at her waist and begins to dispose of the kobold\'s corpse.
"Thank you, Mil, I\'m not injured. And I\'ll be right there, Renka! So, go on first! Sorry, Shinji-san, can you..."
"I know what you mean. You can leave the guards to me. Hey, Freri..."
When the wizard calls out to the palm-sized child spirit on his shoulder, she waves back gently. The swordsman, in spite of his cute and unreliable appearance in adventures, knew how to search for enemies well, so he rushed off without worry.
Thus, this adventure ended without any problems.
The party of three, the boy swordsman Alvin, the woman female Milis, and the female ranger Renka, <Running Wolves>, and the solo wizard Shinji. It was the third trial adventure for Shinji.
* * *
"So, to celebrate Shinji-san officially joining the party, let\'s have a party!"
"""Cheers!"""
After the adventure, the three members of <Running Wolves> agreed to accept Shinji into the party.
"I like that you don\'t look at me and Mil weirdly. Though, I would have preferred a new girl member"
"Give me a break! I\'m definitely tired if I have to be with three girls!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying you\'re tired of being with us?"
"Calm down, you two"
Millis calms the two noisy Renka and Alvin. Shinji, on the other hand, smiles and drinks his drink.
"You know, my previous party had disbanded because they were having a baby. Although it was a congratulation, it was sudden for me. I wouldn\'t have complained if they had discussed it with me beforehand"
Shinji\'s eyes are somewhat distant. Milis whispered to herself, "baby," and her face flushed. She then turned over and threw a sidelong glance at Alvin. Renka also looking at Alvin with a blank stare. "Oh, from their reaction, no way?", Shinji tilted his head.
"W-We\'re not going to let that happen to this party! Right, Mil!?"
"I don\'t know!!"
Milis reddening at Alvin\'s spur-of-the-moment words and actions made her shout out in an unusually loud voice. Shinji sensed this reaction and bowed his head to apologize for the unethical topic. Apparently, the two of them are flustered by Shinji.
"Both of you don\'t flirt with each other during adventures. And it seems you don\'t know that you\'re so passionate when you\'re on a date"
Renka teased.
"Oh, tell me more about that"
Shinji started to make fun of it.
"H-Hey, Renka! How do you know about it?"
"I just happened to see it on the street the other day"
"R-Renka-chan!"
"Well, it\'s good to know that there\'s an on/off switch. And there\'s a talk about you two from other party too. Also..."
An unremarkable conversation begins.
They laughed and raised their voice. The conversation never stops. And the drinking goes on.
(Oh, this is so great! This is what being an adventurer is all about!)
Seeing his beloved Milis, having his trusted Renka, and welcoming his new friend Shinji. Alvin was feeling very happy. He didn\'t doubt that it would continue for a long time.
* * *
"See you tomorrow"
"Yeah, at the guild. I\'m sorry I insisted you on staying at the guild"
"No, don\'t worry about it. See you tomorrow"
After that, Alvin, Milis, and Renka are on their way home. Alvin asked Shinji if he could change to the same inn as theirs, but he refused it with an apologetic look. When Alvin looked back, he could see Shinji\'s back leaving the bar with a steady gait.
"It would be more convenient if we stayed at the same inn"
"Well, well, Renka-chan. I understand how Shinji feels. He doesn\'t want to change from his current inn to another one"
"You like it here, don\'t you, Mil? <MistletoeYadorigi-tei>"
"Yes. The service is good... and Riri-chan is here"
Ririka, the only daughter of the couple who run the inn, is two years old. Milis loves her so much that she makes time to play with her on her days off. Alvin recalls the smiling scene, but then he remembers the story that came up during the drinking session... He imagines himself as the husband, Milis as the wife, and their daughter, and blushes alone. Renka, who has a keen eye, would not miss it.
"Al, what are you blushing about? You\'re just imagining yourself and Mil, right?"
"Stupid, I told you it was too early for that!!"
"It seems I was right! You pervert?"
Renka, who was walking behind the pair, saw Milis\' face was as red as Alvin\'s.
(We are thinking the same thing...)
Milis is happy that they had imagined getting married and having children together and living happily ever after. At the same time, having a child meant doing "that"....
(I wonder if Al wants to do it too...?)
Milis had only experienced a loverly kiss with Alvin. Because for some reason, he has avoided it, but it doesn\'t mean he\'s not interested. However, she thought it would be embarrassing to ask him out herself, so she waits for it.
(If the mood is good and he presses me... hehehe)
Alvin too have no intention of rejecting Milis. Even if they aren\'t going to have children yet, he wanted to cuddle with the one he loved.
"Even Mil, you\'re turning red... I don\'t remember raising you to be a naughty girl!"
"Hyaa!!"
Millis, who was engrossed in her fantasy, is surprised to be hugged by Renka, who had somehow arrived next to her.
"I mean, it\'s not like Renka raised us!"
"I\'m older than you and I raised you. It\'s not an exaggeration to say that I, who was older than you two, raised both of you"
"Hahaha"
The three of them always been together. It will be the same from now on.
At this time, this thought is the same for all three of them.
But no one ever thought that things would change in the future.
