There isn’t even a single product which will cost 200 yen or 300 yen!”
Rossweisse-san is super excited right now. How should I put it? It’s making me think that she won’t be able to change this poor side of her. But this personality of her really makes me think that it is Rossweisse-san after all. “I couldn’t help but spend ten thousand yen for my shopping…… To be expected from Tokyo’s “Bella”. Terrifying indeed……”
Rossweisse-san moans while she looks inside her purse. After doing some shopping, Rossweisse-san and I are taking a rest in terrace side of the café. Ten thousand yen worth of 100 yen items. Basically, Rossweisse-san who had purchased one hundred products came to think that she had bought too many things. So she sent her items away using the courier agency nearby. It will arrive at my house by tomorrow. A huge chunk of them, that is. ……But it’s only worth ten thousand yen huh. She came all the way to Tokyo and purchased ten thousand yen worth of 100 yen items. ……I guess it’s alright since the girl herself seems like she’s satisfied. But I do wonder if it’s okay for a young girl to buy those sorts of things when we came all the way to Tokyo. I started to worry about Rossweisse-san’s future from now on. She then talks to me. “……D-Did I bore you? I-I’m sorry for finishing buying things while I was the only one all happy about it……”
Maybe it was due to myself putting on a complicated look, so Rossweisse-san says that to me while looking sad about it. “Oh, not at all. I’m simply happy just being able to come to Tokyo with you, Rossweisse-san.”
That’s my honest feeling. It’s my first time going far alone with Rossweisse-san, so there’s new taste to it. I even had the opportunity to see the side of her I usually can’t see, so there’s no way that this is boring. Rossweisse-san then says after drinking her coffee. “……If I think about it, this is my first time being on a date with a man.”
—! I don’t know what to say after hearing such shocking truth. It even makes me feel honoured by it. It also makes me think if it was okay that I was her partner for her important first date. “Was it really okay that it was me?”
I couldn’t help but ask. Kiba could have escorted her even better, and Azazel-sensei could have driven her to Tokyo with his sports car that he is so proud of. Compared to those two, the way I handle dates is quite ordinary. Rossweisse-san continues to speak while feeling shy about it. “I-If I was asked to choose one person to date among the men around me, then I would have chosen you, Ise-kun…… B-But please don’t misunderstand me! It’s “if”! “If” someone asked! This is merely a “what if” story!”
Rossweisse-san drinks her coffee while turning red. —She suddenly puts on a gloomy face after taking a breath. “……I simply studied while I was living in my homeland…… The War Maidens, the Valkyrie, that were around me were having a heated discussion about amazing heroes that turned into the warriors of Valhalla…… While my classmates were wasting their time with the opposite sex, I simply gave it my all at studying in order to get closer to my aim.”
……It sure is a story that isn’t hard to imagine. I’m sure she continued to study while telling herself something in the lines of: “It’s filthy! It’s vulgar! You would join the loser group if you don’t study!”……
Rossweisse-san then looks afar. “……I was able to become a Valkyrie due to putting all my time of youth for studying, but now I look back thinking that I should have played a bit back then.”
“What are you saying? You are still young. You are only older than me by a year or two, so from now on, no, from this point on you can just continue to spend your time of youth.”
Seriously, you are still too young! The people around her and also she herself forgets her actual age since she is a teacher, but since she’s still in her teens where she can still experience the time of her youth, I reckon that it’s still too early for her to say something someone old would say. “It’s also amazing that you were a bodyguard of that geezer Odin who is the Chief God. Seriously, it’s amazing to have a history of working next to a Chief God from a mythology.”
Rossweisse-san’s unfortunate side does stand out, but if I think about it—no, I actually don’t need to think about it since her previous history and her abilities are amazing. I won’t be able to have a high position such as becoming the bodyguard of a Chief God, no matter how many times I am reborn into someone new. “……Though he did leave me behind.”
Rossweisse-san became a bit depressed about it. ……I don’t know how to reply to that statement. Well, you can say that we became comrades thanks to that happening……
Rossweisse-san puts on a sad expression. “……Also……I’m not someone who has achieved particularly high as you just said, Ise-kun.”
Saying that, Rossweisse-san takes out an emblem from her pocket. There are complicated looking symbols carved into it. ……A unique looking shape which has circles made up of rune symbols. Is this my first time seeing it……? No, I saw this last night. ……Yes, the symbols were carved into the magic-circle. Rossweisse-san’s grandmother, Gondur-san, had the same thing. Rossweisse-san continues on and says this. “This is a unique symbol……a house crest, that had been passed through my family. The oldest child of the family inherits this symbol and gets it carved into their body and soul in order to pass it to the next generation. …..I am the oldest child, the oldest daughter to be specific, but I couldn’t……”
Rossweisse-san stops there and then says it after lowering her tone. “……inherit this symbol.”
Rossweisse-san than tells me. At the Norse region—Asgard, the Half-Gods that live there create and polish their unique magic, techniques, and tradition, that had been passed through their family where they have those aspects being carried on to the next generation as their priority. And they use that as the symbol to represent the inheritor when they have the generation change where they carve the emblem into their body and soul. Rossweisse-san’s family is no different, so they had the next inheritor carry on the emblem at the time they need to inherit it. Rossweisse-san’s mother also inherited the house emblem, so it was planned for Rossweisse-san who is the oldest daughter to inherit it as well. —But Rossweisse-san couldn’t inherit the emblem. No matter how many times she performed the ritual to inherit it, the emblem didn’t get carved into Rossweisse-san’s body, soul, and magic-circle. Rossweisse-san then says it while holding the emblem in her hand. “……I don’t have any siblings, so my distant cousin inherited the emblem in the end. That child completed the ritual to inherit it immediately, and I remember it very well because no one such as myself or those around me could complain about it.
