Leading the young lady I picked up astray, making her the happiest girl in the world!-Chapter 57 - Now, Off to the Hot Spring Trip! 2
This area has long been famous as a hot spring tourist destination, with numerous inns catering to visitors. Among them, the hotel where Allen and his group would be staying was a brand-new three-star hotel.
The hotel boasted not only hot springs but also gourmet dining, massages, and a wide range of services, making it a favorite among repeat guests...or so they said.
All of this was what Miaha said.
"Miah consulted with the mutual aid society members and picked the perfect plan for you, Demon Lord! Please enjoy it to the fullest, nya~"
She even told them, ‘Forget souvenirs, just give me a report instead, nya!’
As they chatted, the hotel building loomed closer and closer.
Charlotte suddenly perked up and pulled out a thick book.
"Look, Allen-san. That inn is also in this book!"
"Let me see... Oh, you're right."
It was given a two-page spread, an impressive feature.
As Allen stroked his chin, thinking that this place seemed quite promising, a thought struck him.
"Wait... Could it be that this is the hotel you really wanted to visit?"
"...Yes!"
"Liar."
"Ugh... that's amazing, Allen-san. You can really tell when someone is lying..."
Charlotte shrank back like a scolded child.
With how she hesitated, avoided eye contact, and spoke in a trembling voice, anyone would have seen through that lie. Maybe she needed more exposure to the real world.
Allen took the book from her and flipped through it.
"Hmm... So this isn't the one. Then, is it this hotel on the secluded island? No, wait... If it's popular among women, then perhaps..."
"S-Stop it!"
For some reason, Charlotte, her face bright red, snatched the book back from Allen.
"I am also looking forward to the hot springs! So just forget about where I wanted to go, okay! Hah, don’t tell me...!"
"’Scary’?"
Allen tilted his head in confusion.
"Why?"
"B-because..."
Hugging the book tightly to her chest, Charlotte mumbled in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Because... it’s the kind of place a little kid would want to visit..."
"Hmm? I see."
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
He was about to continue talking like that, but then stopped.
Allen shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, if you hate it that much, I won’t press the issue. But let me just say one thing."
"H-huh?"
Allen looked at Charlotte, who was wide-eyed in bewilderment, and laughed.
"Trying things you couldn't do as a child once you've grown up is a fine pursuit. There's nothing wrong with that."
"…Did you have things you couldn’t do as a child, Allen-san?"
"Yeah."
He nodded generously and thought back to the past.
It was a life of unlimited possibilities, but there were things that he couldn't do. He achieved all later in life.
"Like venturing thousands of meters underground to mine ridiculously rare magical ores, or testing large-scale destruction spells in uninhabited regions… My uncle always stopped me when I was young. But once I was older, those experiences were truly exhilarating."
"T-that seems a little different... But it does sound fun!"
Charlotte forced an awkward nod.
"Well, I guess. Do you think I'd laugh at you and say 'childish' when I asked you where you wanted to go?" ?"
"... No."
"See? So whenever you feel like it, just tell me. I'll do it anywhere."
"... Yes!"
Charlotte's face brightened like a blooming flower.
After all, she had hardly experienced a normal childhood. Reclaiming lost time was important.
(Hmm… Helping her embrace her inner child… That’s not a bad idea.)
Even after this hot spring trip, there were surely many more ‘naughty things left for him to teach her.
