Volume 6 Chapter 20 Stretching Out
In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself taking on the role of Rouza's bodyguard ―― or, rather, royal capital tour guide. However, the first place Rouza requested to visit was quite surprising.
"Well, well. So, this is where you guys are staying?"
"It's probably plain compared to the inn you're staying at."
"I'm not narrow-minded enough to complain about such things. After all, I'm the one who asked for your guidance."
Rouza's first suggestion was our residence ―― namely, Kyunei's clinic. It was probably out of curiosity, but since he would be under our care for a while, he wanted to know our whereabouts for good measure.
While it was Rouza's request, it was also convenient for me in a way.
"I'm home."
"Welcome back, Yukina-san."
The first one to greet me as I opened the door was Aina. It seemed to be the time she was helping out at the clinic.
"Wait, Mikage-san? What about your work? And――"
Mikage, who is not scheduled to return to the royal capital yet, is followed by Rouza and Getsuya. Aina couldn't grasp the situation yet, but she seemed to sense that something had happened. She didn't panic and simply nodded in response.
"I'll explain later. But first, where's Kyunei?"
"Kyunei-san is in the examination room in the back. She was seeing patients until earlier, but she should be free now."
"Got it."
I waved my hand slightly in greeting and headed towards the examination room in the back.
"...I've been curious since I first met her, but is that young lady by any chance your lover?"
"She is."
In response to Rouza's question, I scratched my head in embarrassment and confirmed it. I still get embarrassed when I have to answer questions like this.
"Well, well...good for you, Black Blade. I heard you're a rising star among mercenaries, but I didn't expect you to be in a relationship with such a beautiful woman. I'm envious."
Rouza was quite impressed, but then I realized a problem.
'It's a well-known fact that Mikage is loyal to his partner, but with the addition of a romantic relationship, the reaction might be a bit frightening. ──Especially for the fox brother behind me.'
What if I'm asked about Mikage again? If I answer wrong, could a bloody fight break out in the clinic?
"Let me add that the Kyunei――sensei you will meet later is also in a relationship with Yukina-sama, so please refrain from flirting with her."
"What!?"
Mikage skillfully added a supplement to get ahead of the game. Thanks to Rouza's surprise, there was no time for questions.
We came to the door of the examination room and knocked. It was something I were familiar with, but I did it just in case.
'Yes, please wait a moment.'
It seems that knocking was the right thing to do.
After waiting a bit, we were prompted from inside, and I opened the door.
"Ah, welcome back, Yukina-kun."
"I'm home."
Kyunei, who greeted me with a smile, was fixing the collar of her white coat. She was probably in her underwear when we were standing in front of the door. She quit her 'job', but for Kyunei, it seems like casual wear, and she spends her private time in the clinic in a seductive pr**titute outfit.
I'm used to it, but there's an outsider here this time. Kyunei probably doesn't mind, but the customer would be surprised to see it all of a sudden.
Kyunei put her hand to her mouth at the sight of the two unfamiliar people following me.
"Could it be, the important people from Mikage's hometown that you mentioned?"
"Yes. I'll be their tour guide for a while."
"...It seems like another strange thing has happened."
It's probably Kyunei's way of being considerate not to delve into it too much.
Kyunei, who had a troubled smile on her face, then smiled at Rouza and the others, a smile that could charm anyone, regardless of gender.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kyunei, the doctor at this clinic. Please take care of me from now on."
"This is quite the greeting. My name is Rouza. This is my bodyguard, Getsuya. Well, I was somewhat prepared for this, considering young lady Aina's situation, but I didn't expect it to be this much. It's an honor to meet you."
The alluring female doctor in a white coat had a captivating smile. The moment he entered the room, Rouza's nose, which had already been extended, grew even longer upon Kyunei's greeting. I can understand his feelings. I was the same way when I first met her. Getsuya let out a small sigh at his lord's shameless behavior.
"Ahem!" Mikage cleared her throat loudly, and Rouza snapped back to reality.
"Hahaha. Well, it's not every day you see such a beautiful woman, even in Sanmoto! I'm so jealous of Black Blade!"
Rouza laughed heartily, his hand on his head, trying to play it off. Mikage and Getsuya's cold gazes pierced into his back. I have a feeling these siblings get along well.
"Sorry for disturbing you, Kyunei-sensei. I heard Mikage was under your care, and I couldn't help but worry."
"No, please don't worry about it. If there's anything you need during your stay in the royal capital, please don't hesitate to stop by. I'll do my best to assist you with anything I can at this clinic."
"Oh, that's very kind of you. I'll definitely contact you if I need anything."
Rouza's nose started to lengthen again. Is it because he's shameless, or is Kyunei just that amazing? Her aura and words had completely captured Rouza's heart.
'She's got a lot of experience in interpersonal relationships, in a different way than Aina.'
As expected of a former top pr**titute in the royal capital. She seems to know how to handle the bigwigs very well.
