The blue sky and the sparkling sunlight.

And the bridge built over the river that clearly reflected such a sky.

"Hahaha."

Merilyn, who had arrived there, jumped up from her spot and began hopping around the railing with her arms wide open.

"Hehehe~ Ahaha~"

"Merilyn, I understand you're in a good mood, but if you fall, it will be a big problem."

"Don't worry~ Before playing an instrument, I first– Oh?!"

I knew it, and just as I tried to catch her wobbling body for a moment.

Soon, Merilyn, who was tilting, regained her balance and began to straighten her falling body.

"Hehe~"

"...Merilyn."

"Oh my~ What's the matter? Are you angry by any chance? If I provoke you too much, you might kick me later~?"

Ah, right. Come to think of it, she said her main job was a jester.

Given her unique skills, worrying might be strange. Thinking that, I burst into a light laugh and followed Merilyn into the city.

"Are you that happy?"

"Of course~ It's been two whole months. If you don't drink water for that long, you'll die!"

Was I more important to her than water? With that simple thought, I smiled, and Merilyn, smiling as well, began to link arms with me.

"So look forward to tonight~ I'll squeeze out as much as I haven't so far, and as much as I won't be able to in the future."

"...Haha."

Right, she has a lot built up, so she's going to release it all energetically.

Hinting at such a future made me unable to be entirely happy, but just being pushed like this didn't suit my temper.

I grabbed Merilyn's chin, which was linked to my arm, and pulled her towards me.

"...Can you handle that?"

Merilyn's body flinched and trembled.

"H-handle?"

"I've also been quite busy lately, so I've built up quite a lot."

It wasn't a lie.

I'd also been physically and mentally exhausted from running around everywhere for the past two months.

I might not know it now, but when the time comes, I might not be able to restrain myself.

"I hope you can handle me going wild, Merilyn."

"...Haha! That's what I hope for too!"

She was full of confidence, yet her face was still red and her body, linked to my arm, was still trembling violently.

Finding that sight cute, I moved to the restaurant we had found for our meal.

After finishing the planned meal, we headed to the center of the city.

While looking around the city to kill time before nightfall, I suddenly noticed a clothing store in the middle of the street.

It seemed to mainly deal in luxury items, given its sophisticated and fancy atmosphere.

During my days as a porter, I wouldn't have dared to look at such places for fear of being asked for compensation, but now it was different.

"Shall we take a look? If you see something you like, I'll buy it for you."
