"Are you sure you don't want to come with us? After all, you did the most work." Itami said as we walked through the city streets and watched the residents slowly rebuild the city.
"We don't need a reward! And anyway, I want to go on a date with Serika." I said. Although going on a date in a city that was attacked isn't the best idea, Serika and I don't care.
"Okay, when we're done, I'll write to you." He said and left, and the three girls went with him.
"Well, where do you want to go, my wife?" I asked in a gentle tone, taking her hand.
"Where else can we go when all the shops are closed?" She said, crossing our elbows.
"Not all, look!" I said, pointing to a shop just down the street.
It looked like a bakery.
"How about some baked goods?" I asked.
"You convinced me!" she said, to which I laughed.
Opening the door of the bakery, we were greeted by an elderly woman.
"Oh, customers, please come in, my granddaughter will come to you now." the elderly woman said.
We nodded to her and sat down at the table.
A few minutes later, a cat girl came up to us.
"Oh, so grandma, was she telling the truth, nya?" the girl said, and oh my god, she's a classic cat girl who says "nya."
"She's your grandma? But she's a human." Serika asked.
"She found me when I was a kitten, nya! Since then, she's been raising me as her own granddaughter nya." - the girl replied.
"But why are you so surprised to see us?" - I asked.
"In this city, you don't see people like me very often, and the last time I saw someone like me was a couple of years ago, nya." - she replied.
"I see, but in any case, we'd like to order some custard buns and coffee." - I said, to which she wrote down on a piece of paper.
"It'll be ready in 10 minutes, nya!" - she said, to which we nodded and the sweet girl left.
"You know, I wouldn't mind going back to school." - Serika started the conversation.
"To sleep during classes?" - I asked sarcastically, to which she rolled her eyes.
"No, it's just that one month in a typical anime school wasn't enough! I mean, I did have fun hanging out with my friends, going to the club, and just making plans for the weekend." She said smiling.
"Well, I agree with that, but what about taking exams and doing homework?" I asked, to which she laughed.
"Well, that means being a schoolgirl."
"And how do you propose we do that, have you forgotten that we're married? How are we going to explain that?" I asked.
"Well, as far as I remember, in Japanese law, women can get married at 16, so there shouldn't be a problem with that." She said.
"Okay, but don't you forget that once we get to another world, people will have memories of us." I said.
"Shiroko, it's about the government, they will know about us, I don't think the school or the teachers will know anything. We can just scare the governments not to interfere with our affairs." She said, smiling a cute smile that looked pretty sexy.
"I get your point. But what do you think about a magic academy?" I asked.
"Like an Otome game?" She asked me in return, which surprised me.
"Have you played those games?" I asked.
"Yeah, is there something wrong with that?"
"Well, it's nothing special, but aren't those games aimed at straight girls who like handsome guys?"
I saw her roll her eyes and smile wider.
"Shiroko, there are yuri otome games too! Also, I only played otome games that had hidden love interests. Instead of being with one of the guys, I rejected them and did a chain of quests that allowed me to be with either the villain, or the princess, or my childhood friend or something like that." She said.
"But going to a magic academy isn't a bad idea either." She added.
"Well, it's still a long way off, so we have time to think about it." I said, and saw the cat girl walking towards us, carrying trays.
"Here are your orders, nya." She said, placing the trays on the table.
"Thank you." We thanked her.
Taking a bite of the bun, I felt my taste buds in delight, from this food, I looked at Serika, I saw that she was also delighted.
"I need to ask for the recipe for these buns so that I can cook them for us." - she said, to which I rolled my eyes.
Her inner housewife is waking up again...
"As you say... I am interested in the question, who kidnapped Ayane, you seemed to know her?" - I asked
She looked at me and sighed heavily.
"To put it simply... she's a degenerate!" she said.
"Huh?" - I didn't get it, that is, Ayane is in danger?
"Yes, I know what you are thinking! Even though she is a degenerate, she is a degenerate with principles that in most cases are aimed at beautiful girls." - Serika said.
"So Ayane will go to the harem, but will she return to her world?" I asked.
"Yes, she will return back to her world, I am sure of it!" she answered.
"Then…"
"Yuna, that's the name of the one who kidnapped Ayana. More precisely, it was most likely one of her clones that she sent to explore other worlds." - she fell silent and looked away.
I didn't say anything, but waited for her to continue.
"She will return Ayane to the world of "Blue Archive", and stay with her. And simply put, that world is doomed!" - said Serika.
"In what sense?" - I asked.
"Well, not in a bad way, it's just that that world is like heaven for Yuna. There are many beautiful and sexy girls there. So if we get to that world, then I'm sure that all the characters of "Blue Archive" will be in her harem."
"..." - I didn't know what to answer to that, and so Serika continued.
"Well, that's not so bad, in that case all the conflicts will disappear and there won't be any confrontation." Serika said.
I just sighed at her words, although to be honest I want to visit the world of "Blue Archive" to check on Ayane, and I also want to meet the others that Ayane told me about.
After finishing our food and a cup of coffee, we paid and even left a tip, quite a lot of money, and left the bakery.
"Shiroko, let's buy armor?" Serika asked, pulling me and pointing to the weapon shop.
"Why?" I asked.
"Why not?" she said.
I could only sigh and let Serika pull me.
Entering the shop, we immediately saw many shelves with different weapons, from swords to spears, there were also shields.
Behind the counter stood a burly man with a beard and no shirt... is he an exbetianist?
"Dear ladies, how can I help you?" the man asked.
"My wife and I want to buy armor, could you show us the selection?" he nodded to us and came out from behind the counter. He didn't even bat an eyelid when he heard that we were married...
Finally, he led us to the section where the armor was displayed. Most of it was clearly for men, but a little further away was the women's section.
Serika and I were choosing armor until we found the final solution for us.
On Serika, the armor looked very sexy. It protected her chest, shoulders, arms, and legs. The lower abdomen was covered with fabric that fit tightly to the body. I just couldn't take my eyes off her.
I had similar armor, only underneath it was a one-piece tight-fitting suit, which was strange for such a world, but overall I liked how I looked.
And Serika, completed my look with my favorite blue scarf. I looked really cool!
By the time we finished choosing armor, it was already evening, and it was clear that almost all the residents had gone home.
Returning to where the military vehicles were parked, we were met by Mari, who waved at us.
"Shiroko, Serika, how was your date?" she asked.
"Wonderful." we answered at the same time.
"Well, anyway, Princess Pina has given us rooms to stay in tonight, and tomorrow we are heading back to the base."
"Who is Princess Pina?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Cute!" Serika and Mari said at the same time.
"Remember that red-haired girl in armor?" Serika asked.
"Is she a princess?" I asked.
"Yes." Mari replied.
"But aren't princesses supposed to sit in a castle, wear expensive dresses, and eat sweets served by personal maids?" I asked, to which they laughed, and Serika patted my head.
I pouted and waved her hand away.
"I'm not a child!" I exclaimed.
"Well, sometimes you act naive." Serika said, smiling at me, and I couldn't stay mad at her for long.
After talking with Mari, Serika and I went to the room allocated for us, where we fell asleep quite quickly, not forgetting to kiss each other before going to bed.
