Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

(After Hiro sold the materials)

(Still in Eclair's POV)

Hiro: Alright, we are done here.

Eclair: Where should we go next, Hiro-dono?

Calm down. Calm down, me.

Hiro: Let's go back to Uncle's shop and get changed and after that, let's go to a book store and get some children's books to help me study this world's language. There is a book store here, right?

Eclair: Yes. Yes, there is one. Alright, let's go back to Uncle's shop.

We went back to the weapons shop. Hiro-dono removed his armor immediately but I didn't.

Erhard: Yo, How's your first-day training, kiddo?

Hiro: It went well. Eclair helped me a lot and we did some experiments with the shield, earned some money by selling monster materials.

Erhard: Hahaha... It looks like it went well, Eclair.

Eclair: Eh? Ah... Yes.

I suddenly remembered the scene and my heart rate became faster again.

Eclair: I will go get changed.

I immediately ran upstairs and stayed there a long time to calm down. I took a bath before I got changed into normal clothes. I went downstairs. It seems Hiro-dono changed into normal clothes too. He already put on a cloak.

Erhard: What took you so long?

Eclair: I took a bath.

Eclair: Y... Yes!

I immediately put on a cloak to cover my face. And I took him to a book store and I showed him the children's books section while I took the books of Language, dictionary, and History. Hiro-dono also brought some books. We went to the counter to buy those books. There is a woman sitting at the counter. Hiro-dono said that he would do the talking.

Store Owner: Children Books and Language books for beginners? Are these for you?

Hiro: No, you see that person over there. She is my wife and the books are for our child.

W... Wife! Ch... Ch... Child! With Hiro-dono! Awawawa... That's not fair, Hiro-dono!!

The Store owner gave an understanding smile and took the remaining books and grinned at us. What is the meaning of that smile? She put all the books inside a cover and gave the cover to Hiro-dono. He came back to me.

Hiro: Let's go back.

Eclair: Y... Yes!

My heart is beating like crazy. I didn't say anything on our way back to the Love Hotel. The Old Lady at the counter greeted us.

Old Lady: Look who it is, it's the adventurous couple. How are things going?

Hiro: They are going fine, madam.

The old lady looked at the cover that Hiro-dono is holding.

Old Lady: Oh my, What are you holding, boy? By the outline of the cover, they look like books.

I don't think it would be good if she finds out that we are holding children's books.

Hiro: Ah, it's... It's a bit embarrassing.

He took out a book and handed it to the old lady. She looked at the book.

Old Lady: Oh My! Fufufu...

She grinned at us. Huh?

Old Lady: So, you like things like these. No need to be embarrassed about this. Such a lively couple. Fufufufu...

She said while giving the book to me. I didn't understand what she meant but I looked at the book that I am holding. This... This... This is an a.d.u.l.t book! When did you get this, Hiro-dono! I look clearly at the cover of the book. W... W... What are they doing ?!! Is this the so-called SM play ?!!

Old Lady: Fufufu... I thought you are the shy type. But you like to do things like these with him huh?

Not at all! My face is burning and my eyes are spinning! I can't move at all! H... How am I supposed to answer that ?!! D... Doing things like these with H... Hiro-dono ?!!

Hiro: Would you stop teasing her Madam? She might faint at this rate.

Old Lady: Oh, sorry. Fufufu...

Hiro-dono took the book from my hands and put it back in the cover but I still can't move. Hiro-dono held my hand. Not good! Not good! Not good! It's indecent! Handholding is l.e.w.d! I am doing a l.e.w.d thing with Hiro-dono! Awawawa! My mind is going to stop working at this rate!

Hiro: Alright, Madam, we will go back to our room.

We went back to our room. Hiro-dono was taking me to the room while holding my hand. L.e.w.d! L.e.w.d! We are doing such an indecent thing in the L... Love Hotel! H... He is taking me to our... our room in the L... Love Hotel w... while doing such a thing! W... What else is he going to do o... once we go in... inside the room ?!! I can't think clearly!

I suddenly remembered the book cover. Are... Are we g... going to d... do that ?!! Is he going to force himself on me ?!! Such a thing! No way! That is only supposed to be with the people you love! I can't allow this! Wait for a second! I am stronger than Hiro-dono. I can stop him. But... But what if Hiro-dono confessed to me ?!! W... Will I stop him from doing that ?!!

We finally went into the room. Hiro-dono closed the door and locked it from inside. He is still holding my hand!

Hiro: Haa... Finally. Alright, Let's do it, Eclair.

Awawawa!! He said it!

Eclair: H... Hiro-dono. I... I think it's better if... if we wait some time.

Hiro: But I want to do it with you as fast as I can, Eclair.

Hiro-dono, slow down!

Eclair: No! I... I think we should take our time.

Hiro: Really? I thought you also wanted to do it as fast as we could.

D... Do I ?!! D... Doing such a thing with H... Hiro-dono. Do I want that too?

Eclair: No. Hiro-dono. We should wait.

Hiro: Ah. You are right. I guess we will do it after I take a bath.

Right after the bath ?!! That's a very short time, Hiro-dono! Hiro-dono went into the bathroom while I sat on the bed trying to process what's going on. Hiro-dono is in the bathroom. Taking Bath. N.a.k.e.d. N.a.k.e.d. Hiro-dono is n.a.k.e.d. Hiro-dono's n.a.k.e.d body. I never got to see it. He saw my n.a.k.e.d body, didn't he? So, it's fair for me to see his n.a.k.e.d body. Right? Yeah, that's right.

I don't know when was it that I moved but I am already in front of the door. As this is a love hotel, there is no lock for the bathroom door. Hiro-dono is n.a.k.e.d on the other side. What am I doing ?!! I never saw a man's n.a.k.e.d body. They have t. that thing, right? I just want to look at it. Out of curiosity. Yes, just out of curiosity. I mean, he has seen me n.a.k.e.d. So, this also works as payback. Yes, this is just curiosity and payback.

So I pushed the door open and went inside. And I saw it. Hiro-dono's n.a.k.e.d body.

Hiro: Hmm?

Eclair: Ah.

Hiro-dono looks like he just completed his bath. His body is still wet. And droplets of water ran down his body. He has a strong build. His body is muscular and manly. And... And... that thing down there. It's... It's that, isn't it? I saw it. I saw it!

Eclair: Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!

Eclair screamed so hard that the old lady downstairs heard it.

Old Lady: Fufufu... I have never seen a couple as lively as this one. Young people these days.
