World's Fastest Level up!

The next day.

"Nn, it seems Yui-senpai and Rei-senpai haven't arrived yet…"

"It's still not the meeting time yet after all."

Having arrived at the shopping mall, we exchanged such conversations while waiting for the other two.

Then,

"Ah, Hana-chan, Rin-senpai! Good morning!"

The first of the two to arrive is a girl with long bright cherry colored hair which is tied two-sided up with a hair accessory in the shape of a small petal– Kasai Yui. Her large and bright jade green eyes that seem to have the power to pull someone in, coupled with her facial expression and clothes, all those combinations seems to bring out her entire girlish cuteness to the front.

"Everyone, it’s been a while"

The one who came next is a girl with a pair of blue eyes and bright light blue hair that stretched to her shoulders– Kurosaki Rei. Perhaps because of her calm expression and voice, her appearance was fit to be called beautiful rather than cute. And I am certain the same answer will come out if I asked the surrounding passerby.

Well, after talking with her for real, I learned that she was quite weird and also has a childish side, so personally, I think she is more on the cute side, though…

"The last time I met you two was when I came to the guild the other day, right? Are you two doing fine?"

"Yes! I was very happy to hear that Rin-senpai is also coming today!"

"Me too, me too"

"I see, then I'm glad."

It wasn't just flattery, as they seem to really think like that, so I am relieved.

"With this, everyone has gathered! Now, let's go!"

After confirming the four of us had gathered, Hana walked to the front, letting her black hair that was tied with a red ribbon into a ponytail hang down to her shoulders.

Then, toward Hana who kept quickly walking forward, I said.

"Hana, you will get separated if you walk so fast, you know?"

"It's fine, Onii-chan. There aren't that many people today, so, you don't have to worry about that!"

And five minutes later, we got separated.

"I never thought we’ll really get separated…"

"Ahaha, when I was distracted by the shop and stopped for a while, both of them had already disappeared."

The ones who were left behind were Yui and me. Well, since they're the type who likes to rush ahead, they likely didn't notice us stopping here.

"Even so, I heard that today we're supposed to enjoy window shopping, as today's outing was more about gathering than shopping. But I never thought we would end up going off on our own."

"Ahaha, I'm a little surprised too, as this usually doesn’t happen when I hang out with my friends,"

Yui said while scratching her cheek, looking troubled. She was sociable and had many friends after all, so she probably has gone to hang out like this many times before.

For that matter, Hana should also have many friends but… I don't have the impression that she was going places with her friends that much. Although there is a part that cannot be helped because I've left a part of the housework to her, even after setting that aside, since a long time ago, whenever I was at home, Hana was also there. I don't know what happened since I became an adventurer, though.

And regarding Rei… I wonder. I think she is the type that keeps people away from herself but… Fuu, in the sense of loving solitariness, she might just be the same as me.

Wait, that's not what matters now.

"Yosh, shall we go too?"

"Eh? Is it fine not to wait for them?"

"I have sent a message just in case, and we are also planning to join them later, but don't you think it's a waste of time just to wait? Since we're already here, let's look around together."

When I gave that suggestion, Yui had a slightly spaced out look on her face, then,

"Y-yes! Please!"

With a great smile, she replied.
