Chapter 34: The Commander's Son Invites His Fiancée Out on a Date

"Suddenly, do you know what a date is?"

"What?"

Alice was dumbfounded, but after thinking for a while, she clapped her hands as she remembered.

"I've heard of it. That's what you call a rendezvous with a commoner."

"Yeah, I want to do that, but how about it?"

Only one person remains as a capture target for the maiden game "Lovely ☆ Princess". What I proposed to Alice at that time was a date. It's surprising that the word "date" exists in this world, but it wouldn't be strange if a similar word was born.

That aside, when I suggested that, Alice asked after blushing a little.

"So, does that mean that I and Arth will have a date together?"

"yeah, I guess so"

"I'm happy... but where are we going?"

"I'm going to a town in the north, but is there anywhere you want to go?"

When asked that, Alice thought for a moment before answering.

"Actually, I'm not very knowledgeable about geography... well, I don't even know where I want to go."

"Well, Alice can't go out much."

Being a daughter of a Duke and ex-fiancée of a prince, she probably wouldn't be able to go out to take a break from the heavy responsibility. Even if that weren't the case, nobles would normally travel by horse-drawn carriage, so few would be familiar with the actual geography.

"Then, let's go out together. Let's walk around the town and see, hear, feel, and enjoy various things with me."

"Arth... Um, can you go out so easily in the first place? Security issues or something..."

"Ah, that area is fine. After all, you have the strongest bodyguards."

Originally, it would be necessary to help with security, so there are various procedures that are troublesome, but for the time being, I'm confident that I can handle 100 to 1000 knights from this country. How can I say that? I tried it. These are the statistics of the results of measuring the strength of the elite knights under the guise of a tour. As expected, the father class who is the leader of the Knights is the limit, but in the first place, the top is just crazy, and the basic combat ability of this world is not that high.

No, it's probably expensive, but... is Arth is too strong? It's dangerous because he has specs that can seriously be called a cheat, but... when I asked a member of the Knights Order, I was told that even a thief was only half as strong as a member of the Knights Order. In other words, if you believe that, you don't need a large-scale security guard if I'm by her side. Well, just in case, some people will stand by as shadows, but basically it won't be a problem with just me.

And, if you ask me so far, you might think that I'm underestimating this world, but I'm not letting my guard down like that at all. Always act on the assumption that the opponent is higher than me. To do so, it is important to understand the terrain and think strategically. That's why I've done a preliminary inspection, assumed the worst possible pattern, and arranged for Alice to escape. That's why I went there several times and made some familiar faces. The rest is up to Alice...

"I have gotten permission from Duke Misty, so Alice can decide the rest."

"I... would like to go with Arth. But is it really okay for me?"

"Oh, I want to go on a date with Alice."

Or rather, I was desperate just for a date with Alice! No, of course I have another purpose, but my true purpose is a date with Alice. Before I get married, I want to go on a date as my fiancé several times if possible! I want to go around the shops, buy and eat, laugh together and have fun. I know it doesn't look like a noble, but I want at least that kind of reward. Alice was silent for a moment, then she chuckled and said,

"Arth always does that and easily kidnaps me."

"I do not think so?"

"Yes, at that time and now, Arth kidnapped me...Actually, I wanted to walk around town with Arth. But I'm the daughter of a Duke, so I can't say that. So I won't cause trouble for everyone because of my selfishness."

Even if this endlessly kind girl shot me through the chest and kept turning me into a beehive, I said with a smile.

"Then, tell me a lot of selfishness. Any kind of selfishness won't be a nuisance."

"Arth... yes"

Alice smiling. Even that kind of expression was endearing, so I pulled Alice over here and gently hugged her and said.

"I'm sorry, seeing cute Alice made me want to say selfishness."

"Huh... I'm fine. Arth said it's okay, so I'm fine too. Please say selfishness to me too."

"Ah, then is it okay if I hug you for a while?"

"yes..."

That's how Alice and I decided to go on a date, but please don't make retorts that it's the same as usual even if it's a date. Even if you are flirting all the time, the quality of flirting is different between dating and everyday life. yes that's right.
