Chapter 74
<strong>CHAPTER 74 – KAKERU BELIEVER</strong>
Along the way going back to the town of Roizen .
I told Io who was walking beside me .
「You’d gotten stronger huh」
「Really?」
Io’s eyes sparkled .
「Ahh, pretty much . When did you be something like an A rank adventurer?」
「It was a while ago . While Kakeru-san is busy, I’m clearing quests from the guild . It’s like when I noticed, it’s already like this」
「I see」
「Uhm……Kakeru-san?」
「Un?」
「Did I……really got stronger?」
Very timidly, she asked as if to check my face color .
「……pu!」
It got funny, so I couldn’t help butugh out .
「I-I’m sorry! I’m still not yet there after all right」
「Nope」
After taking augh, I said .
「You’d gotten stronger, with no doubt . You’d gotten stronger that you cannot bepared to when we just met」
「Really?!」
「Yeah」
I nodded clearly .
「……I did it」
Io made a small guts pose .
That appearance of her was very cute .
She was so cute that I want to return to the mansion right away and push her down on the bed .
「And then? I’vepletely forgotten to ask it but, what was those two?」
I asked Io .
The two who’s taking about ten meters distance back after I defeated the goat head monster .
The ponytail female swordsman and clerical clothed female priest .
The two who were calling Io Ane-san and Onee-sama .
「Agnes and Julia?」
「Ahh . When did you get to know them?」
「Just a while ago . On that day, the two suddenly came and said『Please let us enter Io-san’s party!』」
「That’s something I also heard somewhere」
When I said that, Io’s face reddened .
She said the same thing to me, and pushed herself to be in the same party with me . Honestly, it’s the same pattern .
「From there, you were in the same party huh」
「Yes, when Kakeru-san’s not around . Ah! It’s alright, Kakeru-san, I’m telling the two girls that it is only a temporary party」
「Temporary?」
“What do you mean”, I asked back .
「I refused because I’m already in another party, but they said that it’s okay even if it’s temporary party . If they say that much, I couldn’t help it, so I epted」
「He?」
I didn’t get clearly how it means .
Is there something like a real party or a temporary party .
But well, from how Io said it, there probably is .
「It’s real okay? I’m in, Kakeru-san’s party after all」
「Ahh, I know」
I nodded .
「You’re in my party, and you’re my woman . Even if you say you’d want to leave, I won’t let you」
I said with a little strong tone .
「……ehehe」
Io had a more and more grinning face .
「I got the story . You’re fighting monsters here and there with those two recently huh」
「Yes」
「And then, you’re being admired like Ane-san or Onee-sama」
「Yes……」
Io looked down embarrassingly .
「I’m telling them to stop, but the two wouldn’t」
「Isn’t it alright, letting them call you like that」
「Eh!」
To Io who’s troubled, I said as a joke .
「Rather, you should win them over more and more . Io should win over them, and give them to me including yourself」
The footsteps stopped .
I looked at Io who stopped on her feet, she looked at me with a surprised face .
Mu, I said it wrongly huh .
That right now wasn’t good huh, it can’t be helped, I should make it up……
「If I do that, would Kakeru-san be happy?」
「Un?」
「Uhm……」
She took a nce to the two on the back, and said .
「If I win over the two, and let Kakeru-san e-eat us together, would you be happy?」
Io asked .
She stuttered, but her face was serious .
Her face was saying, if I said “Un”, she would really do that .
This reaction is unexpected .
It’s unexpected, but I don’t hate it .
「I guess so, I’d be happy」
「Then, I’ll do that」
Io smiled innocently, and nodded .
「I’d do that for Kakeru-san’s sake okay!」
Io, she showed me her best smile today .
