After defeating the 20th-floor boss, King Slime, I returned with the magical girl.

Me: “Please buy the magic stones. We’ll split it evenly!”
Me: “Good work, Chrono-sama. Here’s 30 medium magic stones and 1 large magic stone.”

Receptionist: Huh? Did she just call me by name? Well, whatever.

Name: Last name: Chrono, First name: Kishi
Skill level & achievements / experience: Intermediate, Triple Thrust, Nine-Headed Dragon Thrust
Highest floor reached: 20
Remaining balance: 1,598,000 yen
Guild rank: 9999

Receptionist: “Congratulations on your promotion to Intermediate, Chrono-sama. That’s the fastest ever. Oh, and please return your beginner explorer badge. Huh? Is that your little sister?”

Receptionist returns the beginner badge.

Me: “No, we went to the dungeon together today.”
Magical girl: “Chrono is a promising adventurer. Strong! We’re not sisters! We plan to form a party!”

Huh? She called me by name too… Did we plan to form a party? Wasn’t it just for today?

Me: “Just for today?”
Receptionist shares the same doubt as me – good job!

Magical girl: “No! Right, Chrono!”
Magical girl: “Ah, well… I don’t mind, though…”

I feel a certain pressure from the magical girl…

Magical girl, smugly to the receptionist: “Hmph! Don’t even think about laying a hand on Chrono!”
Receptionist: “Oh, not at all. I am merely Chrono-sama’s dedicated receptionist.”

For some reason, she’s smiling confidently. I had never heard of a “dedicated receptionist” before…

Me: “Let’s go!”

She grabs my hand and pulls me out of the guild.

Me: “Ah, sorry!”
Magical girl lets go of my hand.

Ugh… why did I get so worked up? I already have the Black Knight…
Sorry! My heart belongs to the Black Knight, so don’t worry! For now, I’m just lending my body to Chrono! Not in a perverted way!

She thinks all sorts of confusing things and apologizes silently in her heart.

Magical girl: “No, it’s fine… Ah, when can we arrange your place to stay?”
Me: “Anytime is fine! My grandfather is the headmaster of the Japanese Magic Explorer Academy.”
Me: “Hmm, hmm. Did you borrow somewhere?”
Magical girl: “The dorm! I live there too. It’s nearby!”
Me: “The dorm?! Only students can enter, right?”
Magical girl: “Yeah, so enroll!”
Me: “No way! That’s a hassle!”
Magical girl: “Then you have no home?”
Me: “Then the park is fine.”
Magical girl: “No, come!
Me: “No.”
Magical girl, teary-eyed: “Ugh… I feel awkward at the academy with my party today…”

Magical girl: “Ah! You have zero magic power! You really can’t enter a magic academy!”
Magical girl: “It’s fine! Grandpa will handle it!”

Ah, a backdoor admission even in this world! My father did the same for me in my own country – enrolling me, a prince, into a noble school. I remember being expelled on the first day… I punched a noble, was treated as suspicious… well, I was suspicious-looking in my gold outfit… That’s why I got caught by the knights too…

I don’t like it… I really don’t… but the magical girl’s tearful, glistening eyes… stop! That hits me! Stop…

Me: “Ugh! I’ll only go when I want, and stop when I want!”
Magical girl: “Thank you! I’m so happy! I’ll come get you every day!!”

I really wish she’d stop.
