With the clear blue sky above me, a slight breeze pleasantly caresses my cheek. It’s a wonderful day and the temperature is good, making it comfy.

It’s a very good day to exit, and actually, I did go on an outing to a reasonably distant place.

There may be presently a significantly large open gate in entrance of me, and I can see fairly just a few folks coming and going.

I’m in entrance of one in every of three entrance gates of the Friendship Metropolis, Hikari. The Friendship Metropolis, Hikari is a triangular metropolis with the massive cathedral in its middle.

Quite, being a metropolis the place all of the three realms are concerned, I feel the residents right here could be fairly aware of the quantity three. The variety of gates is three, the form of town as an entire is triangular, and town is split into three sections.

Once I visited throughout the Competition of Heroes, there have been too many individuals and I didn’t have the luxurious to leisurely go searching, however after passing by means of the gate, I arrived within the plaza and within the middle of the plaza is Neun-san…… or reasonably, the First Hero’s statue.

Nicely, it’s solely a statue, so it doesn’t look precisely like her, but it surely captures her traits, so I can perceive why Neun-san doesn’t wish to come to the Friendship Metropolis.

That apart, my function of coming to the Friendship Metropolis this time is to satisfy, or reasonably, to greet Founder-san once more. Responding to the letter I acquired and discussing along with her about our schedules, I made a decision to go to right now to say whats up.

Nonetheless, I’m planning to greet Founder-san within the afternoon, so I used to be pondering of sightseeing within the Friendship Metropolis within the morning.

By the way, I additionally invited Aoi-chan and Hina-chan to go together with me…… however despite the fact that they had been considering sightseeing within the Friendship Metropolis, they didn’t wish to be concerned in greeting Founder-san, they usually apparently additionally had adventurer work to do, in order that they stated that the three of us ought to go once more another time, and if I discovered a pleasant restaurant or a retailer like that, I ought to take them there at the moment.

……They positive are extraordinarily resolute kouhais. Nicely, I’m undecided how lengthy the greetings with Founder-san would take, and even when I meet up with them after greeting her, it might be troublesome with the three of us unfamiliar with the geography of this place, so it’s in all probability a very good factor I got here alone this time.

As I walked down a big avenue with this in thoughts…… I see, this definitely was essentially the most well-known vacationer spot within the three realms. The environment round me appears like they’re centered on tourism.

Simply by trying round a little bit, I can discover varied memento and specialty shops, and there are additionally many eating places.

……Ahh, there’s additionally that Hikari Manju that I’ve heard about. In accordance with Neun-san, they had been fairly glorious, so I suppose I’ll purchase just a few, together with some souvenirs.

Even so, I feel there are a number of gadgets associated to Heroes once I have a look at the assorted souvenirs. There have been even some shops promoting uncommon gadgets similar to Japanese katanas.

Nicely, katanas had been well-known for being the weapon utilized by the First Hero, so I suppose that is comprehensible.

As I continued strolling alongside the road lined with many memento retailers, I progressively started to note a change within the development of the shops I noticed. The variety of memento retailers appeared to be lowering, and the variety of eating places elevated as an alternative.

I suppose this could be the world with many eating places huh. Even so, they positive have all kinds of eating places right here. Nicely, being a big vacationer metropolis, I suppose it wouldn’t be unusual if they’ve such quite a lot of retailers.

A few of the dishes aren’t what I’d have anticipated from the names of the restaurant or the names of the dishes written on their indicators, so it’s fairly fascinating simply trying by means of them.

It’s nonetheless too early within the day to go in, but it surely is likely to be a good suggestion to know which place I’d prefer to go for lunch. Since we’re at it, I want to eat one thing that solely the Friendship Metropolis can provide……

As I walked alongside in a daze, one restaurant abruptly caught my eye. It was a small, compact retailer, much less flashy than the encompassing eating places. The explanation why it caught my eye although was due to its distinctly Japanese-style structure.

It in some way has the environment of a set-meal restaurant on the town, and though not flashy, the Japanese-style look is distinctive sufficient to naturally catch the attention.

I’ve heard that there are a lot of individuals who yearn after Japan…… or reasonably, the opposite world the place the individuals who held the position of Hero got here from, and simply as is the case with Rei-san and Fia-san’s home, there are a very good quantity of people that make their homes in imitation of Japanese structure.

Nonetheless, such homes and retailers are often “a little bit totally different” from what I, a Japanese, would see, however this restaurant fairly acquired it.

How ought to I say this…… It has this stability round it, not simply crammed filled with every little thing Japanese-related.

It will need to have been constructed by somebody who is aware of about that world.

[……The name of the store is “Suiren”…… that’s how you read that, right? A nice, simple name———– Eh?]

My consideration drawn, I appeared on the retailer signal and instantly seen one thing misplaced. I imply, the title of the restaurant was written in kanji.

No, there are folks on this world like Blossom-san, so them understanding about kanjis in itself wouldn’t be uncommon, and the title of the shop is written under the kanji utilizing the letters of this world as nicely.

Not solely that, however the signal additionally says “Japanese, tremendously welcomed” in small letters on the sting of the signal. Sure, it says “Japanese”, not “Otherworlders”.

Maybe, the one that wrote this……

[Ahh, is it a customer? Sorry! Even though you had come all the way to visit my place, we haven’t even opened yet. We open for lunch at 11 am…… Unnn? Hmmmm?]

[Eh?]

Instantly, I heard a voice and turned to see a lady in her 20s standing there with purchasing luggage in hand. She checked out me with a stunned expression on her face and a little bit later, with a panicking tone, she requested me “in Japanese”.

[P- Perhaps, are you Japanese?]

[Eh, ah, yes. That’s right……]

That confirms it. This lady is certainly Japanese…… and likely somebody who used to play the position of Hero.

Critical-senpai : [I knew it! They definitely would have met, wouldn’t they? It’s more strange if they don’t meet, wouldn’t they!? She had her store in the Friendship City. How can he not meet her after he raised that flag of going to the Friendship City to meet the Founder?]
