Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 44. Former hero?welcomes the new year, and is entrapped.

I give up thinking about the events of the sphere in the basement of the church.

Even though I had thought about it overnight, I do not understand what I don’t know.

I will continue to investigate it after this, was the conclusion I came up with.

Now, leaving the matter of the church aside.

A new year will begin in another week.

If I’m not mistaken, I should have came to this different world around the start of may.

And then this situation to call it a new year after slightly more than half a year, is the passing of a year roughly the same as earth too?

New year.

In the Imperial Capital. there seems to be a grand festival.

The recapturing of the fort is a success too, and it’s getting rouse up for something like a double celebration.

New year.

From a little while ago, it’s strange to be thinking of new year, new year.

I know the reason.

Speaking of new year, what would it be?

Right, it’s Miko.

The answer might differ according to each individual, but for me, new year is Miko uniform.

However, this is the Imperial Capital of a different world.

It isn’t Japan. There is neither Shinto shrines or miko clothes.

My dream of embracing a girl in miko uniform from the back, and slipping my hand into the place of her wrapped up chest is not fulfilled.

No, let’s stop it.

After all, it’s an impossible dream.

It’s futile delusion.

…….

That’s right.

In the olden days, I recall somebody who said something useful.

“If it’s not there, isn’t it fine to just make it?”

Deciding on that, I started moving with the goal of realizing my dream.

I called Mina and told her I want to make clothes.

“Is it……clothes?

That, is it something special?”

I nod with a serious look.

Looking at my face with unprecedented seriousness, Mina seem to have caught the importance of this project seriously too.

“C, Certainly. Then, Haruto-sama.

What sort of clothes is it?”

Thus, I told Mina of the structure and characteristics of the miko uniform.

In the first place, I do not know the concrete structure either.

Drawing pictures, referring to the structure of similar clothing, I repeatedly consulted Mina.

And, on the third day.

The miko uniform is completed.

Pure white haori. (TN: Japanese formal coat)

Bright red hakama. (TN: formal divided skirt)

And here and there, I decorated it with ribbons to my liking.

It’s pretty.

Over there, it’s certainly what I had requested.

“Wonderful.”

A voice of admiration leaks out unintentionally.

To that voice of mine, Mina nods approvingly too.

Good job.

“This, was the clothes made by Haruto and Mina?”

“It’s a really mysterious clothing.”

Sharon and Laurier are looking at it with great interest.

“And, what is the clothes for?” Laurier asks.

It’s a reasonable question.

Therefore, I said.

“It’s a great ambition of mine.”

“Hmmm….

Anyway, isn’t that a worthless thing?”

Ahhh, this fellow!

Asking and then giving up on understanding it.

Moreover, what is it with calling it worthless?

I cannot argue with that.

The size of the first one completed as a test piece fits Mina.

Although I want her to wear it right now and bring her to bed, I am patient.

That is to welcome the new year after all.

I am a man who is particular about the situation.

“Well, Mina.

The design is perfect.

After this, please make the same thing for Sharon and Laurier.”

“Certainly.”

I can feel a definite bond between Mina and me.

Its the mysterious feeling of solidarity born from the situation of making something together in the cultural festival.

It’s exactly a feeling like that.

“Then, Sharon-sama. Laurier-sama.

Can you let me measure your size?”

Mina faces the 2 of them with the ruler in one hand.

“Eh? Err, are you making our share too?”

“Well, do you have to go to that point?”

The 2 of them agrees to it.

I also wanted to join in and measure various size, but was thrown out of the room by Mina.

Why?

I think there is no need to be shy by now too.

“Because if Haruto-sama is with us, it will take extra time.”

Saying so, Mina closes the door without a sound.

Is that so. That’s right.

Ms.Mina.

You know me well.

Well, it’s fine. It’s a few days until new year.

Let’s hold on to the enjoyment until that time.

———-

A new year begins, and we welcome the new year.

Although there doesn’t seem to be a custom such as viewing the first sunrise, I took the 3 of them to go see it.

Climbing the castle wall of the castle and sitting down on the highest spot, we view the sky that is getting brighter.

“It wasn’t something I noticed, but it’s somehow good with this freshness!”

“Yes. The morning sun puts your mood in order.”

“Fuaaaa……Is there a reason for us to go as far as looking at this purposely?”

Sharon is in high spirit.

Mina does it with a snap.

Laurier is like a degenerate.

Is their reaction such a different thing?

Fascinating.

“Nuu! It’s cold! I’m tell you cold, Haruto!”

Laurier who already had enough was shouting while clinging on to me.

Getting on top of my knees, she buries her head in my neck.

Hey stupid, stop it.

Do not stick your cold hands into my clothes.

But, without tearing it off, I flirt with her.

“Muu”

Sharon comes from across and grab my hand.

And, [Pito], she leans on her body on me.

No way, cute.

I took a glance at Mina.

Mina is not fazed.

And restrains herself diagonally behind me.

But, her ears are twitching.

Are you enduring it?

Adorable.

“Mina.”

“Y, Yes.”

I call Mina, and takes her hand.

And Mina sits beside me too.

On my knee, and to my left and right.

Welcoming a new year of supreme bliss surrounded by pretty girls.

The sun has completely climb to the sky too, and we greeted the complete morning.

Now, it’s time for fun.

Returning to the room, I waited for the 3 of them to change into the miko clothes.

A 15 minutes wait.

Entering the room after being called, I’m surprised.

“Why…….is Rithina here……?”

Moreover, Rithina is properly wearing the miko uniform too.

“When I ask about the story as to why Mina was somewhat busy, I heard that Haurto-kun wanted to make an object that seems interesting.”

Saying so, Rithina in the miko uniform turned one round.

The red hakama floats out gently.

Her breast swings.

Th, this is amazing.

I stared at her involuntarily.

No, but wait.

The miko uniform of Rithina is wonderful, but this is bad.

Where Rithina is around, I am unable to enjoy myself.

It’s such a situation.

If it’s the case, should I wait in front of 4 person in miko uniforms…….?

Rithina approaches me who was jumbled in delight and regret, and whispers in my ears.

“The Reward.

I have talk through it with father-sama.

It doesn’t matter if you receive it now too you know?”

Eh?

Really?

I have not said a word to the king about such a thing yet?

I mean, receiving it now, although other people are around?

“It’s okay.

I have already talked to the other 3 people too.”

Eeeh?

I look at the 3 of them.

They have a somewhat understanding expression,

Oioi, are you serious?

Before I know it, the outer moat has been buried. (TN: first defence down)

“How about it? Haruto-kun?”

Aaah, don’t continously push out your chest forcefully in the miko uniform like that.

“Haruto-sama. As it’s the first time for her highness, royal princess, I will support her properly.”

Before I’m aware, I am persuaded by Mina from across too while being absorbed with Rithina’s chest.

“Hey, looking at the sunrise last night, are you going to sleep without doing anything? It’s early.”

To hell with feelings, Laurier demands sitting on the bed.

Sharon doesn’t say anything, but waits with an expression like saying it can’t be helped.

At some time, without noticing, I had been entrapped completely.

In this situation, I did not have the willpower to be able to postpone it.

To be even at least, I decided to do it particularly to pay back Rithina’s entrapment.

What is this situation?
