Chapter 38: Experience the Beach Vibes with Milena-san!

After meeting up with Milena-san, we began walking together. Milena-san soon started the conversation.

“It’s wonderful to be out with you, Adin-san. By the way, I was a bit surprised that Aria-san forgave you so easily.”

“Well, it’s more so that Aria-san had other plans today, so I came without informing her.”

“I see. In that case, I plan to forget about work today and just enjoy the time with you.”

“I’d be happy if spending time with me could help ease some of your work-related stress.”

“Just seeing you already helps reduce my stress by half.”

Milena-san smiled as she said this. While I thought her comment about reducing stress might be a bit of an exaggeration, I was pleased to know that my presence could positively affect her in some way.

“That’s good to hear.”

However, Milena-san soon wore a slightly troubled expression and said,

“But there’s a bit of a downside to always having Aria-san around. If it’s not that you can’t train with me, you could come visit me more often if you wanted to.”

“I don’t want to take too much of your time since you’re likely busy with paperwork and your other tasks.”

“If you come to visit, I can always make time for you… For instance, if you’re tired from training and need to relax for a while, you’re always welcome to come by.”

Milena-san spoke in a gentle tone.

“If you’re saying that, I’ll try to drop by after my training ends.”

“Alright… By the way, we’ve arrived at our destination.”

“…Eh? This is the place?”

The building Milena-san referred to was about the same size as the arena where the magical tournament was held. However, the atmosphere was quite different; it felt more like a part of everyday life rather than a place for combat.

“Milena-san-san, what is this place?”

“It’s called the Small Ocean. It’s a place where you can observe sea creatures and non-dangerous monsters that appear in the ocean. Since you mentioned visiting the Safety Ocean recently… The Safety Ocean’s biggest advantage is the absence of dangerous monsters, but it also means there aren’t any fish or other marine life present there. Today, I want you to enjoy seeing ocean life here, as you missed out on that experience. Since you left me out when you went to the Safety Ocean, you owe it to me to experience something similar together.”

Milena-san pouted slightly as she said this. It seemed like she was still holding onto the fact of not being included in the previous outing, even though she had forgiven me.

Despite that, the Small Ocean was intriguing to me. I had never seen marine creatures up close before, and even though it was described as safe, getting a close look at monsters was a rare opportunity I didn’t want to miss.

“Alright, let’s experience the ocean vibes together.”

“…! Thank you so much…!”

With that, Milena-san and I entered the Small Ocean. Inside, there were numerous tanks filled with unfamiliar creatures. As an adventurer, encountering new creatures and monsters was incredibly fascinating!

“Milena-san-san! Let’s go see them quickly!”

“Adin-san, there’s no need to rush… Your youthful enthusiasm is quite charming too.”

Milena-san spoke kindly, but I was so captivated by the tanks with fish and other sea creatures that I didn’t catch everything that she said.
