With Sergey's help, Guy and Arios finally submitted a satisfactory report, and their superior was happy to give them a week of vacation, which was an incredible thing for Guy and Arios who worked overtime every day, so the two of them cherished it immensely.
Arios took his wife and daughter on a trip without hesitation, while Guy planned to take his fiancée and brother to a nearby place.
As for where to go? The first choice was naturally 'Armorica Village'.
The village is located in the northeast of the autonomous state and is a small village that operates in agriculture, animal husbandry, and beekeeping. Because the village has beautiful landscapes such as vast waters, huge flower fields, and medieval ancient roads, citizens and tourists who are tired of the noisy city come in an endless stream, which makes this small village quite prosperous.
The only thing to complain about is probably the Orbment bus that runs every four hours, but it's already much better compared to taking a carriage before.
Guy, who was holding his brother's hand, changed his usual neat jacket + jeans style today and wore a more casual shirt + straight-leg pants. In addition, his sunglasses made him look a little more wild and unrestrained. Many young women who were also waiting for the bus would occasionally cast their gazes at Guy, but he was a little anxious and looked at his watch.
'It's almost time. Is Cecile busy? Do I need to go look for her?'
His girlfriend was cute, had an impeccable figure, and a very gentle personality. Finding such a girlfriend could be said to be the greatest fortune of his life, but it was precisely because of her gentleness that she would always encounter some 'accidents'. For example, if a child or an old person who needed help appeared in front of her, she would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
But at this moment————
"Guy, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting~"
Cecile, holding a bamboo lunch box in one hand and wearing a white dress, waved at Guy and trotted over. When Guy saw her, he quickly led his brother Lloyd and trotted over as well.
The reason he did this was because the gazes of the men around them were too piercing. After all, it was normal for a woman with a proud figure to be turbulent when she ran, so girls would generally be very careful about this, but Cecile, who was a bit scatterbrained, didn't care so much.
"The bus is still a while away, don't rush. What if you fall?"
Guy, who was holding Cecile, gently comforted her while using his body to block most of the gazes and declare his ownership.
But it was obvious that Cecile didn't notice her 'fiancé's' little movements. After being held by him, she first looked up at him and showed a gentle smile, and then explained in a low voice.
"It's okay~ I won't fall~"
Then she crouched down and stroked Lloyd's head.
"Have you been listening to your brother recently~"
Lloyd, who was being held by Guy, shyly hid behind his brother. Guy just smiled at this.
Recently, he had discovered that his brother didn't seem to be very good at dealing with girls. He was already a little worried about whether his brother could find a girlfriend when he grew up.
Although they were brothers, Guy, who had raised his brother with great difficulty, acted more like a doting father at this time.
After waiting for a while, the Orbment bus finally arrived, and they walked directly to the last row of the bus.
Lloyd sat on the innermost seat. As soon as he got on the bus, he knelt on the chair and looked out the window with curiosity, while Cecile sat next to Lloyd, and Guy sat on the outermost seat, protecting the two of them.
And just as Guy and Cecile were chatting happily about their respective jobs——————
"Brother! Someone outside is fighting a monster!"
Fighting a monster?
His brother's gasp caught Guy's attention. He glanced over. Because of the speed and bumps of the car, he couldn't see it clearly, but then the expression on his face became a little strange.
"It should be a bracer clearing out monsters, right?"
The reason Guy's expression was a little strange was that the person was using a lance as a weapon. It was known that very few people used this kind of weapon now. With the development of firearms and Orbment magic, this weapon, which originated from cavalry, had gradually moved away from the stage of history.
But other than that, there was nothing worth noting. After all, unlike the police, their job was generally to deal with criminals, while the bracers' job was to help ordinary people and clear out monsters. The two could be said to be complementary existences, but due to Crossbell's awkward political position, there was a certain gap in the relationship between the two sides. However, this gap was more from the higher-ups. For Guy, he just didn't pay much attention to it.
At the speed of the Orbment bus, the 'bracer' quickly disappeared, and Guy also put everything out of his mind and continued to chat with his fiancée.
When they arrived at their destination, the three of them first went to the honey workshop. Looking at his brother's flushed face after eating the honey, Guy couldn't help but show a smile. Because of his parents and him, his brother had been very strong since he was a child. He was still a child but had already started working out, with the goal of becoming an investigator like him.
Guy naturally supported this immensely. After all, having a goal and a dream was a happy thing, but just like most parents, they would also feel heartache seeing their child work hard. So at this moment, seeing his brother who was always so serious show the expression of an ordinary child, he was incredibly happy.
"Guy, let's pour some honey on our sandwiches later, okay?"
"Okay~"
Although Armorica Village was one of Crossbell's tourist and leisure spots, the flow of people was not very large in reality. After all, Crossbell's population was not very large, and people were also more diligent, and vacations were a rare thing. Most of the people seen on the roadside were villagers with simple smiles on their faces and tourists with happy expressions.
In this environment, Guy simply stopped restricting his brother and let him run around.
And as he smiled and watched his brother's figure disappear into the flower bushes, he also secretly held Cecile's right hand.
Cecile, who was suddenly held by the right hand, was a little flustered at first, but then she leaned against Guy with a blush on her face. Then they looked at each other, and both of their cheeks were a little red, but they also had happy smiles.
'This is probably the life I'm looking for...'
Guy couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he held his fiancée's hand and walked into the flower bushes.
