Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)



Chapter 87: Guild Boat (I).

Kein's POV

Iyashi said that we needed to stock up some things before leaving for tomorrow morning. 

We walked along the guild halls together talking about what we should buy. Now that we have our guild cards with us we can board the cheap boat meant to be for adventurers funded by the kingdoms so they can get to the demon lands safely. 

"So a bunch of exploring gear and food ration is what Iyashi said before leaving." This would be my first time going out to venture into the demon lands. I've done some reconnaissance missions that needed a few overnight trips but is everything going to be the same as what I'm used to?

The demon lands is a barren desert, unlike [Puronia] full of lush green forests where we can forage and capture a few wild edible animals for lunch. 

"What kind of things do we need, Avery?" I turn to Avery who walks with her hands behind her head as she answers almost instantly. 

Avery hums, raising a finger. "The demon lands is a desert area based terrain, so we'll be going clothes shopping first. I know what you guys have on is already good- adventurer clothes but your night clothes might need some work. "

"Yeah… I probably shouldn't expect to travel the whole demon lands in heavy armor. Maybe I should save the fire resistant armor when we're actually in the dungeon tower of the demon lord."

"That's honestly your safest bet, Kein but you can wear it at dawn or at night when it's not hot or when we're fighting monsters so your body can get used to the weight and stuff. We have a healer now so any wounds that might happen, we'll leave it to Iyashi." (Avery) suddenly gave us a whole lesson about desert terrains.

"Even on a hot day, the temperature can drop quickly once the sun goes down in the desert, and trails in the mountains can reach dangerously low temperatures at night. A light jacket or emergency blanket can keep you warm enough, we'll also need to buy us a bigger tent." She raised her second finger and I mentally noted a tent that we needed to buy later.

"I already have a tent but it's only meant for one person, we need to buy a bigger one where we each can have someone to be with for body warmth." she suggested and I have no objections with that idea. 

"Alright so warm clothes, tent, food rations and-?"

"Pegasus feed. You might also want to stock up on your Pegasus feed because I don't think your steed can't go to her own magic space like mine." 

"You… don't feed your familiar in your magic space?"

"Oh I do but the magic space that I have has those different time things. I don't have to feed him regularly, and I keep some monster meat stocked in my [Inventory] . If he wants some food then he can just go there."

"Your inventory and other space are connected…" I was curious on how it worked, so I turned to Avery who shook her head as if already knowing what I was about to say.

"I have not tried taking on a familiar, Lady Kein. I only have the [Inventory] and nothing else but if we find something along the way I will make sure to experiment to let you know my hypothesis as well as theory on the matter." (Kazari) lowers her head in apology and I told her that it was fine. 

"You haven't tried getting a familiar or a pet companion? It's pretty cool! A descendant hero like you should be able to snatch and grab something great." (Avery) chuckles, getting close to her newfound friend on the journey wrapping her arms around her shoulder. "I was shocked too but it made sense. It's like this huge space built for me with different compartments that are connected to one another, things can also travel if they can move which is pretty cool."

"Maybe if you gain a super cool pet familiar you'll have this hidden compartment unlocked!"

Hearing the good perks of private inventory spaces made me envious. Don't get me wrong, Kein Rosenguard/Hills now is a decent person to have been transmigrated in- even counting the fact that she had a horrible aunt to live with and one of his sons being a natural asshole.

Not to mention with this person- Kein is secretly a daughter of the Duke of one of the most influential families in [Winshern]. So if I'm speaking on her behalf, she's half winshernian and puronian.

I wish I was reborn as a hero not transmigrated into another body. 

"Q-Quite handy." I replied and sighed, being a hero or at least a descendant might've been troublesome too so I'm good at being Kein. Each path gives its own separate trauma with its own benefits.

"Maybe so but we must focus on the task at hand, Miss Avery please wear your disguise. If we are to go outside again in the city to shop we must hide everything about you that only screams that you are a hero." (Kazari) reminds the hero that if we go outside we'll be swarmed by her many admirers and go bonkers shopping. 

We almost got hit by a stampede of gifts the first time and got delayed on our things to do that day. 

Lesson learned to avoid that again. 

"Oh right, thank you for reminding me about that buddy. I still have the clothes from last time- I mean I didn't wash it but it should be okay I only wore it for only a few hours anyways." (Avery) takes the clothes out of her [Inventory] and waits for her to get changed in the nearest bathroom of the guild.

"I'll be back guys!" she yelled as she happily waved goodbye getting into the changing room.

…

After setting up her disguise, Avery this time had a different set of costumes. 

"I'm back, you two. So how do I look?" (Avery) 

Her voice caught our attention and my jaw dropped when we found her wearing men's clothing. It wasn't expensive- but it was enough to make her very- very! Handsome to say the least and I even noticed she binds her chest for this occasion.

Her blonde hair slicked back, tied into a ponytail, her height was already helping her enough to make her look like a man and her androgynous body- I never thought I would say this but in terms of crossdressing this girl got me beat.

"You can call me Mr. Williams- or I can come up with a new identity that could help us not get any attention from the crowd." (Avery) seemed to be happy and satisfied with what she pulled. 

Kazari nodded not minding the new get up but I minded- It seems I am the only one who noticed a few stares of many adventurers that were in the hall and not only that- the guild registration ladies were in on gawking at Avery too.

"Avery I'm not sure how to tell you this, but your disguise is not helping." I told her and she gave me a confused innocent look. 

"Why not-? I turned into a man today so I won't get caught by fans. Does the disguise help?" (Avery) didn't seem to have noticed the effect she has on people, it's the curse of her passive charm skill that even I couldn't help but partake in it. 

If I didn't have Rose in my heart perhaps I would've been binded. 

I nudged Kazari who stared at me back with the same confusion. "Do you not notice how handsome this girl is in men's clothes?" I asked the personal maid who became speechless for a second taking in my question. 

She tilts her head looking back and forth to Avery and I. "She is a handsome woman but will it be a problem for our mission? I didn't even notice that it was Miss Avery calling us, this is one good disguise."

"It's too good, Kazari. Can't you see the people around us falling for it too much- falling for Avery?" I pleaded for her to check our surroundings a second time and that is where she saw everyone in the guild whether it be a man or a woman falling for our kind hero, Avery Williams.

"I have already thought of a good backstory cover for this dude- A lost nobleman who was kicked out by his family Lord Orion Bumblesmickens. With no worth to his name, I am nothing but a man trying to live everyday to its fullest." (Avery) had to make his voice become lower, sounding like an old grandpa making Kazari and I was turned off by her antics.

Granted that I was taller, I held her ear pulling it and told her to change into a more shitty clothes so that she won't be attractive enough for the crowd to make her into their own personal candy while we shop for clothes.

"Change, damn it." 

lightsnοvεl "Ow-! IOw-! Ow-!" (Avery) tried getting her ear back. "L-Let go, that's a very sensitive part of the human body even if I'm a summoned hero that still hurts! Also I won't change-!

I let go of her ear, shaking my head. "Your turn to try and change her mind." 

Kazari points to herself before moving forward to talk to the hero in a soft and calm manner. "Please, Miss Avery, change your clothes. You are too attractive in your get up we are afraid that random women regardless of age will come and kidnap you, try to date you and force you to marry them." 

"...Eh?" (Avery) 

THAT WAS A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD REPLY. DAMN KAZARI THAT'S EVEN SCARIER THAN WHAT I DID I ONLY PULLED ON HER EAR NOT SCARE THE HELL OUT OF THE KID!

"I have heard that many sprivanian women are bold and are not afraid to get what they want in any means necessary. Especially their taste in men, you have seen the women here and their personality including culture- they are different. They are braver than puronian women, the chances of you being claimed and asked out to date them is very high." (Kazari) leans over menacingly.

"Then you'll get married and have someone pregnant." 

I almost choked in my own saliva hearing her reply. "K-Kazari damn, even my mind wasn't going that far ahead but with Avery's good genes here that might be possible." 

"B-But I'm a girl I can't get girls pregnant?"

"In this country… you can regardless of gender."

My eyes widened upon hearing that, if I remember correctly they would need to use some sort of magic ritual before that could happen. It's what big sister Valentina and Gisela used to get their daughter. 

It was enough to scare Avery that it made her knees shake.

"O-Okay… I'll change. I don't want someone to get pregnant so I'll change my disguise into a boring grandma… please don't leave without me." (Avery) sniffled looking at Kazari like a deer in the headlights.

"Very well, please hurry, we still have some more shopping to do." (Kazari) 

Avery went back into the bathroom to change into a disguise that won't be attractive to the masses as we relaxed our bodies into a wooden bench nearby. 

"So… do you have any plans if grandmas and grandpas started asking her out?" I asked jokingly, however, I was met with a serious and well thought answer by the descendant of the hero. 

"I was taught to respect our elders, however, if they come too close we will either run but if they continue to somehow pursue- I say we fight them." (Kazari) was willing to commit assault on the elderly.

"I was only kidding- let's just run and not fight okay?"

After Avery was done changing her clothes, we got to buy everything we needed that day.
