Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless - CH 152
Kent’s day off ・ Part 1
***—***
I, Kokubu Kento, am up early in the morning.
Even though it’s the day of rest, Amanda-san’s shop will be open as usual … That’s not why.
After getting dressed, I will pick up the chairman and Manon in that order, and then we’ll be treated to breakfast at Klaus-san’s mansion.
From there, I’ll spend the day with the four of us as the first step to atone for being overwhelmed by Seraphima.
I do the unusual and bathe in the morning, change into good clothes, put on the shoes Marcel-san gave me, and I would like to say that I’m ready, but my hair is so messy …
Since I came to this world, I hadn’t been to the barber even once, so my hair had grown quite a bit.
I think I’ll go to the barber shop when I go back to Japan … But, it would be a bad thing if I were found.
When I picked her up at the garrison quarters, the chairman was waiting at the gate.
She wore a long dark brown skirt, a tan-based coat, and short boots on her feet.
The fluffy knitted hat and muffler were also brown giving it a chic look.
She noticed me and waved happily, and her smile was really cute.
“Good morning, Kento … Eeh.”
“Good morning … Yuika.”
I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself and hugged her tightly.
“Hey, Kento, everyone is watching.”
“Does it bother Yuika if we’re seen?”
“Mou … Idiot …”
To the garrison member guarding the gate, please stop muttering in a low voice and chanting resentfully.
I don’t want to lose my hair or go bald.
“Shall we go?”
“Yes!”
The chairman held my right arm and rested her head on my shoulder.
Yup, yup, when she’s like this, the chairman is seriously an angel.
It seems like yesterday’s Yaksha girl was a lie.
“That’s because Kento was bad …”
“Hyau, you’re right …”
Yup, the chairman can definitely read my mind.
Volzard’s main street was crowded with people on the rest day.
However, there was still time before the shops opened, so the traffic was sparse.
“The town of Volzard is really beautiful.”
“Yeah, it’s well-cleaned, the sewers work properly, and the roads are paved, so it might be cleaner than Japan.”
“Above all, there are no cars running, so it’s quiet and the air is clean.”
“Yes, even when I first came here, I thought the starry sky was amazing.”
“But, Kento had a hard time after that, didn’t you?”
“Oh … Really, I thought I was really useless at that time …”
It felt like a long time ago when I was driven to the Devil’s Forest alone, almost eaten by Goblins, and was rescued by Reinhardt and the others.
I couldn’t believe it’s only been a little over three months.
Hey, it’s just too eventful.
We passed through the main street, passed Klaus-san’s mansion, and came out onto the street where Manon’s house was.
She wore a navy blue flared skirt, a sky blue short coat, and boots on her feet.
Manon, wearing a checkered newsboy cap with blue tones, ran up to me, waving her hand.
Yup, yup, Manon is super cute too. Therefore …
“Good morning, Kent … ?”
“Good morning, Manon.”
Of course, I gave her a hug.
“Kent …”
“You’re cute, Manon.”
“Hee …”
Yup, Yup, Manon’s eyes are swirling.
“Kento, what about me?”
“Of course, Yuika is cute too.”
“Yup, that’s fine.”
That’s true. I have to love my future brides equally.
But, that means, I have to do the pattern of hugging and whispering that they’re cute in front of that Idiot Parent.
Yup, I feel like I’m digging my own grave.
When I arrived at Klaus-san’s mansion with a flower in both hands, the garrison member guarding the gate let me through without even checking my guild card.
Oh, have I finally gotten to the point where I can pass through with a face pass.
A butler greeted me at the entrance of the mansion.
“Good morning, Kent-sama, Yuika-sama, Manon-sama, everyone is waiting for you.”
“Good morning. Thank you for your time today.”
The butler guided us to the dining room, where Beatriche greeted us.
The wine-red skirt and fluffy white sweater looked warm.
In the back, I could see Klaus-san and Marianne-san sitting in their seats.
“A good morning to you, Kent-sama.”
“Good morning, Riche, you look cute today, too.”
“Maa, Kent-sama …”
In Beatriche’s case, it’s the default for her to come hug me herself.
My mission is complete if I just say she’s cute.
Yup, naturally Klaus-san was glaring at me with a face that looked like he was grinding his teeth.
“Good morning, Klaus-san, Marianne-san.”
“Tch, breakfast on a long-awaited holiday …”
“Maa, maa, well, don’t say that. Also, Kent-san, please call us father-in-law and mother-in-law.”
“Understood, mother-in-law, fa …”
“Klaus is fine … Fuun.”
Klaus-san sat at the far end of the table, Marianne-san was diagonally in front of him, and Beatrice was next to him.
I sat across from Beatrice, with the chairman on my right, and Manon on my left.
I asked the chairman to sit as a buffer between Klaus-san and me, but it’s a little difficult for Manon.
“Speaking of which, Kent, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs is coming tomorrow, right?
“Yes, we plan to leave Japan at 10 o’clock, around noon here.”
“If that’s the case, can you guide him directly to the guest house? When the messenger from Resenburg arrives, I’ll be able to see what’s going on inside, so will it be okay?”
“Yes, then I’ll guide them to the entrance of the guest house.”
“Ah, that’s fine. I’ll prepare to accept them as well.”
When he was talking seriously like this, he had the personality of a really sharp Lord, but when it came to Beatriche, why did his mental age suddenly drop … I didn’t even need to ask.
“Kent-san, so when will Her Highness the Princess of Barshania come to Volzard?”
“That will depend on the stability of the domestic situation in Resenburg, I wonder when it will be …”
“Well, that’s a rather ambiguous answer … Even though it’s a big deal for women …”
When I told Marianne-san about Barshania’s Idiot Parent and her Idiot Brothers, and that Seraphima pressed the story forward because she might want to become independent, she nodded strongly.
“Then, Her Highness Seraphima’s very similar to our Riche.”
“Eh, but Riche’s brother is …”
“Riche’s two older brothers and older sister are attending a senior school in the academic city of Bakkenheim. In two more weeks, they’ll be back for New Year’s vacation, my eldest son will graduate from the academy, and my eldest daughter will graduate from senior high school, and from the beginning of the year they will be living in Volzard.”
In Volzard, there are only schools up to the so-called middle school level, and those who attend high school or university are said to live in a dormitory in Bakkenheim.
Wait a minute. To say that Seraphima and Beatrice are similar means that the two brothers are idiots.
Wait, wait, if the eldest daughter is an idiot who loves her little sister, won’t I be in big trouble?
“Kent, there’s only two weeks left, so look forward to it …”
“No, I’m looking forward to it …”
Damn, are you saying that the parent Idiot Father will gain reinforcements? Are you serious?
“That’s right, what should I do if even Ange is attracted to Kent-san …”
“Haa? It’s obvious that it’s no good. It’s hard to forgive even Riche alone!”
“That’s right, Okaa-sama. Onee-sama is no good!”
Huh? I feel the nuances of Klaus-san and Beatriche are slightly different.
“That Ange-san you’re talking about…”
“Don’t call her so familiar. It’s Angelina!”
“Yes, I’m sorry, what kind of person is that Angelina-san?”
“Kent-sama, you don’t have to be interested in my Onee-sama.”
“That’s right, it’s just as Riche said. You don’t have to know!”
No, why are the two of you so desperate?
“Ange inherited her father’s hair color and ear shape, and she inherited her face and figure from me.”
What’s that! She’s a dynamite sister-in-law.
I have to get closer to her …
“It hurts, it hurts, Manon, it hurts. Don’t pinch me so hard.”
“Kent, you’re getting a lewd look …”
“Uu … I’m sorry.”
“For now, Kent, if you put your hands on Ange, I really can’t leave you alive.”
“I understand. But, since they are going to be my brothers and sisters in law, I have to properly greet them … Manon, that hurts!”
“Hmph! Kent’s ecchi!”
Ahh … Manon, who was in a good mood, became in a bad mood … Rather, it’s my fault.
“Ara, ara, both Manon-san and Yuika-san are in a bad mood. Kent-san, the New Year is coming in a month, so why don’t you get dresses tailored for your future brides?”
“Dresses … is it?”
“Yeah, we’re going to have a celebration party here for the New Year, so they need dresses.”
“I see … But, where should I get them tailored?”
“I’ll have Riche guide you.”
“Leave it to me, Kent-sama.”
That’s true. If I leave it to Beatriche … Is it just my imagination that Klaus-san is looking at me with a pitiful gaze.
Well, I’m not worried about the budget at all.
With the exception of one person, there was a lively chat until the stores opened.
“I have to have a consultation with Yagi-tachi, so I have to go back to the garrison gate at noon, but I don’t mind if everyone comes with me.”
“What is Yagi-kun’s consultation about?”
“I found a way to return to Japan, but it will take some time before they can return. Especially since the boys have been put on the back burner, they want to hear how to spend their time in Volzard until they return.”
“But, they’ve been taken care of by Kento and Manon, don’t you feel it’s too late?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But, I think it’s because the ones Manon took care of were mainly girls, and because the boys weren’t serious until now. No matter what, if they’re motivated, I’d like to cooperate.”
“Kent-sama is really a caring person, isn’t he.”
“Right, right, Kent is too kind.”
Normally, the chairman holds my right arm and Manon holds my left arm, but now Manon is on my right and Beatriche is on my left, and the chairman turned around and walked a little ahead.
I only have two arms, but I have three future wives, so they decided to rotate.(TN:That are here, anyway.)
Yup, it’s a wonderful, equal world.
Boys around our age who stopped at the street corner and looked at us gave me a look of great resentment, but I didn’t care.
I mean, I can’t refuse, and I don’t have any intention of refusing.
“Riche, where do you order the dresses?”
“I’m thinking of ordering from a shop that has become a hot topic, recently.”
“A popular shop?”
“Yes, they sell clothes with very innovative designs and they are popular.”
“Innovative design …”
The direction Beatriche guided me to was the direction I imagined the store to be.
The shop was crowded even though it just opened, Flavia-san’s shop that is.
“Just as I thought …”
“Kent-sama, do you know about this shop?”
“Yeah, the clothes I’m wearing right now were bought at Flavia-san’s shop.”
“Is that so? But it’s a rather normal design for that.”
“Well, I chose a normal design.”
When it came to Flavia-san’s shop, naturally the clothes would be more revealing.
No, wait, it’s fine if it’s only me, but if there are other men around, it’s not good.
“What’s wrong? Kent-sama.”
“N, no, nothing really … Umm … Why don’t we look at other stores … I thought.”
“That’s fine, but I haven’t checked this shop yet.”
“R, right, that’s right. But, isn’t it rather crowded …”
“In a little while more people will gather, so let’s check it now.”
“Th, that’s right.”
I’d like to see the three of them in revealing dresses, but I don’t want to show other people.
But, if they see Flavia-san’s miko cosplay-like outfit, the chairman would suggest we go to another shop.
The shop was crowded with female customers, and I seemed to be the only male customer.
“Sagara-san?”
“Ah, if it isn’t Asakawa-san. Kokubu-kun is here too!”
Sagara-san, who worked at the store, was wearing a maid outfit today.
Even though it was called a maid outfit, it wasn’t unfashionable and practical, but it wasn’t like it was super mini with a high degree of exposure.
The waist was tightened to emphasize the feminine lines, but the exposure was kept low, and the beautiful colors and ruffles were used to bring out the cuteness to the fore.
“Uwaa, that’s cute …”
“Right, right. It’s based on my design, I finished it together with Flavia-san.”
“That’s nice … Hey, we’re looking for dresses to wear at the New Year’s party.”
“Is that so? Maybe the timing was just right. Lately, the number of orders has been increasing, and we were planning to close the deadline for the New Year.”
“Well then, can you please do it for the three of us?”
“Leave it to me! Asakawa-san took great care of me in Lastock, so I’ll put all my skill into it and do my best.”
While the chairman and Sagara-san were talking, Manon and Beatriche went to see the clothes on display and I was left alone.
That being said, the appearance of the store had changed completely from the last time I came, and all the items on display were for women.
The main thing was that it was frilly and cute, and there was a lot of space for underwear.
As I was feeling a great sense of not belonging, the owner, Flavia-san, appeared.
Last time, Flavia-san was dressed in a costume like shrine maiden cosplay, but this time she was dressed in a less revealing outfit.
She wore a black knit long-sleeve dress, her collar was a turtleneck, and her skirt was below her knees.
She feels like a woman owner who can do it.
Flavia-san greeted me with a smile, but when she caught sight of me, she made her way between the customers.
“Welcome, ‘Monster User’.”
When Flavia-san said my name while smiling bewitchingly, the customers in the shop all turned around and started whispering.
“What are you looking ofr today?”
“Umm … A dress to wear at the New Year’s party …”
“Dress? For you?”
“No, no, not for me, it’s for my lovers.”
When I point to the three of them, Flavia-san turns around and at the same time, the noise in the store grew even louder.
“I knew about Beatrice-chan, but the two over there are like that, huh, those two are adorable, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they’re too good for me …”
“That’s not true. Look at the eyes of the customers in the store.”
“Eh, the customers is it …?”
Not knowing what to do, I looked around the store, and the customer I looked at was blushing with her hands on her mouth, waving her hand slightly, and yelping.
After hearing that, the chairman’s trio came back to me quickly and wrapped their arms around me and hugged me.
“Ehh, ehh, what’s going on …?”
“Oh, it seems you weren’t aware of it. The youngest S-rank adventurer in history who saved Volzard from danger and gained a huge amount of wealth. You’re the object of admiration for young women.”
“Eeehhh … Really, is that so?”
Uu … It’s like sparks are flying between the customers and the chairman and the others.
Are you saying that I’ve reached the age of being super popular?
“Kento!” “Kent!” “Kent-sama!”
“Y, yes … I understand. Of course, I know …”
I can’t grin and smirk while being stared at from such a close distant, can I.
“Ara, ara, it looks like no-one can shop. Everyone, please go to the back …”
We decided to order the dresses in a separate room in the back so as not to disturb the shop.
In addition, I had my New Year’s clothes made for me and had my measurements taken.
“Hee, you’re more solid than you look …”
“Since I came here, I’ve been trained in various ways …”
I mean, Flavia-san’s way of using her hands was somehow ecchi.
When she measured my chest and waist, she touched me so casually that I got chills.
Or rather, since they’re having dresses made, everyone will have their dimensions measured, right.
That is, the chest size, the chest size, the chest size … But, there’s no way they can show that to me.
I was made to sit facing the wall while everyone had their measurements taken.
When they were discussing measurements, design selection, fabric selection, detailed requests, etc. , it was already lunchtime in the blink of an eye.
After everyone’s orders were completed, we left the store with a meaningful wink from Flavia-san.
