The Beginning of Discomfort 1

“H-How can I comfort you…?”

“If you could do me one favor, maybe it would cheer me up?”

Alvin-sama raised the corners of his mouth as he said that.

I felt like I was being lured into something, but I had to comfort him.

Thinking that it was something I could do, I nodded my head slightly, and Alvin-sama’s expression brightened.

“Thank you. Then, will you go on a date with me?”

“Eh?”

“Because I’ve never gone out alone with Nina until now. Is it no good?”

I was confused for a moment, not expecting such a cute request, but I nodded again and agreed.

Looking back, I had never gone out leisurely with anyone in this world. Although I frequently went out with Theo and Dirk to subjugate demons.

When I thought about it again, the other day when Bruno and I went to see the magical beasts might have been my first time. Of course, it wasn’t a date, and it ended halfway into it.

By the way, I wrote to Bruno after that and he replied, “It sounds like you’re going through a lot, but just do well.” I hoped to see him again when things settled down.

“I’ve never been on a date before, so I don’t know if I’ll do well, but if that’s okay with you, then all right.”

“Is this really your first time? What about when you got back to your world?”

“Yes. After I returned to my original world, I couldn’t go out freely anymore.”

“…. Ah, so that’s how it is.”

With a sad expression on his face, Alvin-sama gently patted my head. I had told him about my messed up family before. I felt sorry for having made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Hey, Nina.”

“What is it?”

“Do you think it’s good that you came to this world again?”

“I was confused at first, but now I’m glad I’m here. I was reunited with Alvin-sama and everyone, and I met Erica and Cheryl.”

“Is that so? I’m glad then….. Thank you.”

Even though I wasn’t allowed to leave the castle grounds now, I was otherwise allowed to do pretty much as I pleased. It would be too much to ask for more.

I wondered why Alvin-sama looked relieved and thanked me, so I thanked him as well.

Alvin-sama looked at me, smiled a little, and pulled me into a hug. I wasn’t used to being in contact with men, so I still felt a little uncomfortable.

“I’m feeling better now. I’m looking forward to our first date.”

“Y-Yes.”

It seemed that Alvin-sama would decide the itinerary and destination, so I could just wait for the time being.

“Will you continue to give me all of your firsts?”

I had a feeling that I had a lot of “firsts.” Especially in a different world, I was sure there were still many firsts.

Alvin-sama tilted his head slightly while I was thinking that I didn’t want to answer carelessly and ended up telling a lie.

“You’re not going to give it to me?”

“What kind of ‘firsts’ are you talking about, for example…?”

“There are many things. Like, kisses.”

“Kiss…!?”

Seeing me shaken, Alvin-sama chuckled.

“If you don’t give it to me, the person who stole Nina’s firsts will just die, so Nina doesn’t have to worry about it.”

“…. That’s difficult.”

I didn’t care about such things. That said, I had no plans to kiss. I decided not to worry about it for now.

I decided to do some research on dating so that Alvin-sama could enjoy it.
