An exclusive mage who broke up with his alchemist childhood friend, wants to lead a slow life in a remote town – Intermission 2 – Special friend

After seeing Iris arrive at her inn, I leave with Mars.

We also have a map, so we run fast and manage to reach our inn before Loyd gets back.

We give the receptionist a simple greeting and head upstairs, get inside, and close the door before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

We’re safe for now.

Now Mars and I just need to get our story straight, and Loyd won’t find out.

We just went to watch him train, but instead we spent all night watching Loyd’s romantic scene.

As for my final impressions, I agree with Iris. A hundred and twenty points.

I was mad when he made Iris use her saintess power. In my head, that was where Loyd would step in all invincible, and beat up their enemies. And then Iris would go ‘oh Mister Lloyd you’re so wonderful let’s get married!’.

But after that, it was perfect.

He had a perfect grasp on the town’s features, despite getting here recently, and was able to use the geography to its fullest to earn a hundred and twenty points.

Letting her see the sight of the town illuminated by magic light stones was incredible enough, but the way he thought about them changing color as the sun rose was a stroke of genius.

I can only call it incredible.

Once again, I feel sorry for Ruby for letting go of such a precious person.

I support both as a shipper, so I can’t give an answer yet, but it’s safe to say that this time, Iris won.

And also, I’m all sweaty because we came back in such a hurry. I might stink a little right now, so I want to take a shower.

“Mars, I’m taking a shower first.”

“All right. I’ll tell you when sensei gets back. He might drop by our room.”

Mars says as he sits on the bed and removes his sword and armor.

It’d be weird for him to be equipped with that when he’s supposed to be sleeping.

“He might come here to brag about Iris.”

“No, I didn’t think he would do that. But he’s perceptive, so we have to be careful. Maybe he even spotted us.”

“My magic was perfect, so don’t worry about it.”

It was Soundproofing Magic, Perception Inhibition Magic, and Magic Energy Obstruction Magic all at once, so no matter how great he is, even Loyd wouldn’t notice us.

I know he’s very incredible, but I’m very good too. I’m very confident that I can move without him noticing.

“Hey Mars, you can come in the shower too.”

I invite Mars while peeking out of the shower room, but he shakes his head.

“Then I’d seem like a pervert. Don’t be silly and just take a shower. I wanna use it next.”

“Tch…”

I think he really does want to take a shower too because he’s also sweaty, but he should give in to me first.

His tone is rough, but he’s honest, so he definitely wouldn’t peek in the shower. I’d be perfectly fine with that, but he keeps making excuses every time.

We haven’t done anything lewd yet either. We only kissed once, a month ago.

I kiss him on the cheek when he’s sleeping, but he never initiates it.

He’s staying in the same room as such a beautiful girl, so it’s not normal to not make any moves even once. Am I just not charming? It’s a little shocking.

I have a nice figure, but my chest size is at the bottom.

And my character… I inch towards the unfortunate, but I’m normally a serious girl. Or at least I act serious in front of Loyd.

I only let myself be myself in front of Mars. Because he’s my ‘special friend’.

Ah… I wanna be a girlfriend already…

I keep thinking that as I take a shower.
