"Ceres-kun, is it really okay to spend this much money?"
Since I started traveling with Ceres-kun to the Empire, every day has been unbelievably luxurious and splendid. Back in the village and even during my adventurer days, I never experienced such a life.
"Well, it's kind of like a honeymoon, so it's fine for now, isn't it?"
Honeymoon? What's a honeymoon, I wonder?
"Ceres-kun, what exactly is a honeymoon?"
"A honeymoon is when a married couple goes on a trip together afterward..."
This otherworld is truly amazing. In Ceres-kun's past world, it was to deepen the bond between a married couple by going on a trip after getting married... I see, they had such a custom.
Now that he mentions it, I feel like my grandmother used to talk about it when I was little.
I see... a honeymoon, huh?
Being with Ceres-kun makes every day feel incredibly fresh and enjoyable.
We've arrived in a city called Oodawara.
Since entering this city, Ceres-kun's excitement has been through the roof.
His eyes sparkled when we got our accommodations, and he looked like he was on the verge of tears when we entered a restaurant.
"Hmm, it's incredibly delicious... I don't know fish can be eaten raw, and it's served on bite-sized rice, a bit sour, but it's also fantastic!"
"This is called sushi. I knew we could have seafood since there's a sea, but I never expected to have sushi and sashimi! But, Shizuko-san, you can eat quite a lot."
"Yes! It's a bit unusual, but it's incredibly tasty. This soy sauce called 'shoyu' is amazing too."
Ceres-kun seemed to be trying to surprise me when he suddenly ordered this. This mischievous side of him hasn't changed since we were kids.
It might not be the best way to put it, but Ceres-kun is both the "ideal husband" and the "ideal son." Just being around him warms my heart.
Because everything I ever wanted is right here.
"The dishes at this restaurant are similar to the ones from my past life. When I saw them, I was amazed."
"I see, now that you mention it, when you were kid, you brought a lot of recipes to Kazuma's place, the owner of the village's restaurant, and you made various dishes."
"Yes, but because Jimna Village was far from the sea, I couldn't make or eat this. I never thought I'd be able to eat it... Should we also order tempura?"
"If we can eat it, then go ahead! There's nothing special to do today, right?"
"Yeah... Amazingly, there was an inn with tatami mat rooms, and they had hot springs too, so I thought we could take a walk and relax after we finish eating."
"That sounds nice. You truly are a reincarnated person; you enjoy this kind of thing!"
"Of course... Shizuko-san, do you dislike it?"
"No, I don't dislike it. It's more like I find it unusual! Even when we were adventurers and visited tourist spots like this, I think I would have chosen to stay at a safe, ordinary inn, have a regular meal, and drink ale. Maybe, if I weren't with Ceres-kun, I wouldn't have ordered something like this."
"Hahaha, Japanese cuisine is a bit unusual, after all."
Ceres-kun ordered dishes with enthusiasm.
Although everything he recommended was delicious, I couldn't handle salted fish roe and natto. Especially natto, is it okay to eat fermented beans like this? Well, since it's served at a restaurant, it should be fine!
It's been such a long time since I've enjoyed a life where I can travel with someone and have fun.
