Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Farewell

"Well then, take care on your journey, Master."

"Prince, I shall reluctantly depart as well."

Together with Freya and Frio, they returned to the mansion. This time, they were seeing off Celestina and Sakura, who were heading to work. It made him feel a little sad, remembering how he used to see Mikoto off every morning.

"Farewell, Celestina, Sakura. Take care, both of you."

"Hehe, you two look so lovely, just like newlyweds."

"......"

Sakura was excited, while Celestina remained silent. Huh?

"What's wrong? Celestina, your face is all red."

Celestina's face was flushed and trembling. Could she be feeling unwell?

"...M-Master, th-that 'f-farewell' k-k-kiss..."

What's this... The cute captain of the knight order.

"Ahh, that's not fair! Prince, me too, me too!"

"Alright, alright, line up in order. Don't push! There's no time for 'don't push.' Well, despite appearances, Mikoto has approved of the 'farewell' kiss. Go ahead and savor the Reaper-Slaying Kiss!"

"Huh? Master, um, nnn, mmm~"

"Oh, Prince? S-such a sudden... nn, nn~"

Once they had bid farewell, all he could do was pray for their safety and wish for their swift return. The 'farewell' kiss was not about technique; it was about gently embracing, imparting feelings, and sharing a slightly longer kiss. No words were necessary.

"Fufu, M-Master~ I love you!"

"Heh, heh... Prince~ I... I can't take it anymore, my, my legs are giving way..."

Huh? Did Celestina break down? Sakura couldn't stand either? Oh no!! I forgot about the Kiss (Extreme) skill... What should I do? They're both becoming vegetables.

In the end, I had to give them some Divine Water to revive them.

"Geez, you put us through quite an ordeal. When you come back, you better do it again!"

"Absolutely! If you don't give us a 'welcome back' kiss, we won't forgive you!"

Although both of them went to work, fuming with anger, wait, are they coming back here? Isn't this your home, you two!?

Feeling a gaze, I turned around and saw Claudia, Chloe, Eva, and Sonia.

"Oh, you're all heading out to the town, right? Have fun and be careful."

"......"

"...Oh, you might have been watching us, after all?"

All four nodded silently.

"A 'farewell' kiss... you do it, right?"

All four nodded again.

Oh dear... These four are having their first kiss, but is this really okay?

Well, there's no choice. If I'm going to do it, I'll give them a kiss with all my heart and soul. That's my sincerity and way of life. It's okay, I have Divine Water.

A few minutes later, after reviving the four who had become all floppy, I saw them off. Maybe I went a bit overboard.

Now, Silphy and Sara are waiting. Off we go!!

My shoulders were firmly grasped. I turned around cautiously and saw Cecilia and Katarina, who had returned from training, smiling warmly.

"Uhm, I'm going to the town from now on."

"If you want to go to the town, you'll have to defeat us (kiss us) first!!"

"Kakerutchi, let's have a fair battle of kisses!!"

Well, I guess there are times when a man has to fight...

I defeated Cecilia and Katarina and hurried to the town.

(Wait for me, Silphy, Sara! I'm coming now.)

"Being popular is quite a hassle..."

After Kakeru left, Frio, who was hiding in the shadows, was trembling.

***

The meeting with the two took place in the guild's dining area. There wasn't much allure here, but in the city, there are many dangerous people who might approach these beauties.

At the guild, aside from complete beginners, everyone knows about the two's background, so no reckless heroes would approach them.

They spotted me and waved.

"Milord~ We've been waiting for you!"

"Seriously, milord, what were you doing, taking your sweet time!"

Despite their words of annoyance, both of them seemed happy. I apologize. I can't exactly say that I was indulging in kisses...

"Milord, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat first?"

Indeed, it's already noon, and I'm hungry too.

"Alright, let's go eat then! There's a restaurant nearby that I was thinking of trying. What do you think?"

"I'm fine with anything, but my favorite is your homemade cooking, milord..."

"I-I also like you the best... I mean, your cooking the best... Oops, I was talking about food!"

My twin princesses are too adorable and it's so hard on me. I couldn't help but embrace them.

"Feh, milord? I'm happy, but we're in public..."

"Hehe, I'm always welcome, milord..."

After enjoying their touch for a while, we headed toward the restaurant on the street near the guild.

I recalled that it was a shop owned by a blonde, handsome guy where Chloe and I had gained cooking skills together before. It's called "Gold Plate Pavilion." It's known for its flashy performances, but also for its reliable cooking that takes advantage of the cooking skills. The queue was already forming, but while watching the blonde guy's performance, it soon became our turn and we entered the restaurant.

The interior was nicely decorated with lots of wood and greenery. Both Silphy and Sara seemed to like it.

Silphy ordered a mushroom and vegetable salad, while Sara ordered something like a spicy red stew. I went for their signature dish, the thick rabbit steak.

"By the way, you two share senses, right? How do you manage when eating?"

I suddenly wondered and asked.

"When we eat at the same time, the flavors mix. It's like a spicy mushroom salad."

"When we want to enjoy each flavor separately, we eat at different times, milord."

"I see, but you get to enjoy two different dishes every time. I'm envious."

The enjoyable time passed quickly. After finishing the meal, it was time to accomplish our purpose for today, which was buying new clothes for the two.

Being favored by spirits, regular materials wear out quickly for them. For Sara, she needs materials with high fire resistance, and for Silphy, materials with high slash resistance. Carlos introduced us to a specialized shop that deals with clothes made from various monster materials. They might find the perfect clothes there. Clothes made from monster materials are not only popular among knights and adventurers but also have high demand among many people due to their high performance, despite their high prices. They even accept custom orders, so I'm thinking of placing a few orders while I'm here.
