「Where did you find that out? Ever since we came here, you were mostly with me or sleeping in your room, right?」

「There’s a computer in my room, so I tried browsing with it a little.

I can see the bulletin board we just talked about, clan sites, and videos. Probably since it’s dormitory’s computer, all I can see is information for adventurers.」

Gradually, I started to get confused whether I was in a fantasy world or Japan.

No, from fantasy people’s perspective, Japan was the fantasy world, huh?

「That’s amazing. It’s been a month, but I still don’t know how to use it.」

Filos, the purebred fantasy resident, said so. It seemed like he knew the existence of the computer itself.

「Do you find it hard to operate?」

「Not really. I can intuitively control the Microsoft OS. Ah, but the manual and the language default is in Japanese.」

「Ah, of course it’ll be impossible unless you get used to it.」

It was not very user-friendly.

「But then, everyone will try operating the device provided in their room, right? Just like when you found UNIX machine in the warehouse, you’ll want to operate it.」

That’s only for you, okay.

「If you’re going to say that, then bath comes first, right? We can’t use the big public bath, but being able to take a shower and use shampoo are too much like an Utopia. Now that I said that, I think you became a little cleaner, Yuki.」

Changing to his private clothes might’ve affected this too, but I felt like his skin and hair were shining so much more. Even though he was a man.

「That’s only natural. …Tsuna is still a little filthy, eh.」

「Don’t call me filthy. Even if I’m like this, I took a bath properly. I was surprised when I saw the dirt peeled off, I thought I was shedding my skin. I don’t become smaller, right?」

「…You’re not. But more than your body, can’t you do something about your clothes?」

Ohh, so that was the problem. Yuki changed to his private clothes, but I was still in the same clothes I wore when I came to this city. The one that had been tattered by Minotaur and cat ears.

「I don’t change my clothes. In the first place, I don’t even know how many years I have worn this outfit.」

「…Let’s go shopping for your clothes after this.」

That’s right. We had a lot of money anyway. I didn’t have any attachment to this clothes too.

This clothes seems like it’s about to fall apart if I wash them, and it’ll be a chaos if I end up buying clothes when I have nothing to wear left.

I had confidence in my mentality, but I didn’t have such a thick face to go all nude and walk around without any shame. It was already in the different direction.

I didn’t think much about this when I was still living in the village or the royal capital, but after coming in contact with this city, I fully realized how bad I had been living outside.

…I wonder if there’s Fashion Center Shi○mura here.

-3-

「Hey, you are the rumoured fastest capturer, right?」

When the last video was over and we were about to go shopping for my clothes, an unfamiliar girl called me. She was pretty cute.

What, was my spring about to come?

「You’re right, so?」

I responded so with a pretty nice expression.

「Why are you answering like that with such a fake look? Are you trying to look cool?」

Yuki-san, I didn’t need any unnecessary comments, please stop that.

「Who’s that girl? …Uwahh, she’s so cute. No way, is this girl the other person who is the fastest capturer? Can I take her home?」

No good, Yuki had better bite right now. I had to recover the situation.

「Yeah. Actually, we took it together.」

I smoothly stood in front of Yuki.

「Tsuna, your tone is so weird since just now. …Err, what do you need from us?」

「Uwahh, sorry, sorry. I’m called Croche. I’m also going to become an adventurer soon, so we’re at the same year. You can call me whatever you like, be it Roche or Croc.」

Wasn’t calling someone who was named Croche as Croc a little bit too much?[1. Original: Why were you calling someone named Kurooshe as Kuro (Blacky)? Wasn’t that a pet name?]

「My older sister suddenly contacted me yesterday. She told me that a great guy appeared at the same time as my debut and asked me to gather some information. 

At first, I thought that you wouldn’t be that much of a deal since you were still rookies, but when I actually checked about what happened, they told me that you guys cleared the trial in just a day. 

I was a little dumbfounded by that information. What about this? Let’s go for a meal. Together with the girl beside you. It’ll be my treat.」

For some reason, this girl was really energetic.

「I’m okay with a meal, but can we go shopping for clothes before that?」

「Sure, sure. I’m born and raised in this city, so I can introduce you to some stores if you want. Eh, Uwahh, now that I see you, you sure are ragged. It’s like you’re wearing dust cloth.」

Don’t call it as dust cloth.

「We just came to this city two days ago, so that’ll help a lot. Yuki is okay with this too, right?」

「Eh, yeah, sure. No problem at all. Croche-san is such a good person.」

「I-is that so? Being a guide is not a big deal, you know~」

No, she’s wrong.

Yuki was happy since Croche mistook him as a girl.

「What about Filos and Gawain? Since we’re all debuting at the same time, how about deepening our friendship?」

「I’m interested, but we have appointment for Japanese language course After this. We’ll pass, but please ask us again some time later.」

So there was Japanese language course, huh?

This city was full of Japanese language, so it might be an essential course. But then, did that mean there was no translation magic?

「I see, then I’ll go to your room tomorrow or the day after that.」

「Then, let’s go now. Do you have specific style of clothes you want to buy? How about frilly ones?」

「No, we’re not buying Yuki’s clothes. …Anyway, I want to have some everyday clothes. They don’t need to look fancy, just the cheap ones.」

If I wore frilly clothes, it had been decided that that the impression would be so awful.

「Ahh, if you don’t care about what’s trending, there’s “Fashion Center Shimomura” nearby. We only need to walk around ten minutes from here. Do you want to go there?」

I endured it, but Yuki slipped down.

Wasn’t she afraid of copyright strike? Then what was the meaning of me censoring the words just now?

-4-

「Hey, hey, Croche-san. The items in this shop are expensive, aren’t they? All of us are clearly unfit here.」

The place Croc brought us to was obviously some of the luxurious restaurants filled with wealthy people.

When I looked around, everyone were in suits and dresses, even though it was still the daytime. The clerk was also wearing bow tie and tuxedo.

I changed my clothes to plain common clothes in Shimomura, and I was clearly sticking out like a sore thumb here. The other two who were in their normal clothes looked out of place too.

「A-ahahaha… this is bad. I don’t know the store is this luxurious since my sister only told me the store’s name… Maybe I should’ve noticed something is wrong since I never heard the name before.」

It seemed like this was also unexpected for Croc. After checking the name of the store, her face remained stiff.

「Maybe you had a reservation?」

「You’re right. No, it’s not me, but my sister, okay? She sent me a message to bring you guys here… 

But my sister definitely didn’t think of making fun of us. She’s not the type to mock novice adventurers that definitely never ate here…」

「So that means, your sister is also going to join us?」

「That’s… I’m not sure about that. Maybe that’s her plan. What she said to me is “I’ll pay everything, so have a meal with those hopeful rookies.”」

「Then it will be bad if we go home now, right?」

I asked the waiter in tuxedo who was passing by nearby us.

「Excuse me, do you have dress code here? This girl’s sister seems to have made a reservation, but we didn’t know and came here in our everyday clothes.」

「May I know the name of the person who made the reservation?」

「Ah, it’s Ashelia. Ashelia Growentina.」
