I Was the Heroine, and in the Sequel, Even Though I’m a Mob, All of My Stats Are Maxed Out

First Date 2

That night, exhausted after a long day of defeating demons, I prepared to go to bed early and jumped on the bed with Cheryl, when Alvin-sama came in.

“I’m sorry, I’m just so exhausted. I couldn’t talk to Nina all day, so I wanted to talk to you for just five minutes.”

Today, while we were all having breakfast together, we were informed of a massive outbreak of demons.

Since there was a possibility that even the nearby towns would be affected if we were late in responding to the situation, we moved immediately with Alvin-sama’s teleportation magic, without even eating, and continued working until the evening.

And because we were both in charge of different places, we had very little conversation.

“Of course. Would you like some tea──”

“No, thank you. I’m fine.”

“…. Ah.”

It wasn’t until he said this that I realized I was lying sprawled on the bed.

Even though I had become less conscious around Alvin-sama lately, I reflected on my lack of feminine charm and jumped up.

“I-I’m sorry for showing you my shameful appearance….”

“I don’t mind. I like any kind of Nina and I’ll never dislike you.”

“Really? Even if I gain a lot of weight?”

When I asked him jokingly, he nodded his head without changing his expression.

“I like Nina’s appearance, but it’s Nina herself that I fell in love with, and I’m confident I’ll like you no matter what you look like. I’ll still like you even if your face is a mess[1].”

“T-Thank you….”

Although the metaphor was too frightening, I could feel that Alvin-sama would love me in any form and any state.

We continued to talk about other things, and I suddenly remembered my promise to Erica.

I had planned to ask Alvin-sama out tomorrow because I thought I wouldn’t have a chance to talk to him today. But, as the saying goes, “Strike while the iron is hot,” so I decided to ask him now.

“Alvin-sama, um….”

“What is it?”

“Well, you see…”

It was so embarrassing to just say “Let’s go on a stay-at-home date.” It was much more embarrassing than saying “I love you” in general. I was ashamed of my impassiveness.

Seeing me hesitating, Alvin-sama raised his well-shaped eyebrows.

“What’s wrong? Nina.”

“That’s…”

“If you have any complaints about me, you can tell me. I’ll fix everything right away. I’ll try to be the man of your dreams. Is it bad that I recently cut my hair a little? I’ll do something about it soon──”

“Please calm down.”

The conversation was going too far off the rails. I didn’t even notice that Alvin-sama cut his hair because it was too natural. The hairdresser was undoubtedly quite skilled, so please don’t blame him.

I thought Alvin-sama would go berserk at this rate, so I blew off my nervousness and opened my mouth.

“I know Alvin-sama is busy, but can you give me just one day?”

“Of course, I’ll always make time for Nina. What can I do for you?”

Relieved that he readily agreed, as expected, I continued.

“I’d like to have a stay-at-home date! With Alvin-sama.”

“…. Eh?”

I had come up with the idea with Erica of spending a whole day alone with him in the forest mansion behind the royal castle.

In fact, although we saw each other every day, we rarely spent long hours alone together.

We could cook and eat meals together, take walks, and so on. I wanted to spend the day relaxing with Alvin-sama and do such things that were natural for lovers.

“….. Alvin-sama?”

Alvin-sama covered his mouth with his hand and didn’t say anything while looking away.

When I looked into his face to see what was wrong, his face was slightly reddish.

“I’m sorry, I was so happy I couldn’t say anything. I still feel like I’m dreaming when I feel Nina’s affection for me.”

“Please get used to it already!”

I even made a reverse proposal the other day, but Alvin-sama was still the same and full of smiles.

“When would you like to have it? I’ll take care of it right away.”

“I have some preparations to do as well, how about this weekend?”

“I understand. I’ll leave a day open.”

“Thank you very much!”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

Alvin-sama looked so happy and innocent that I really wanted to make it a day that he would enjoy.

And so, we had our first date.
