Peddler in Another World: I Can Go Back to My World Whenever I Want! Volume 8

Book excerpt: Stella’s departure from Ninoritch to search for her long-lost husband has thrust the responsibility of looking after Aina onto Shiro until her mother returns, but just as he is finally starting to get used to his new role as guardian to his young assistant, Kilpha comes along and drops a bombshell on him by asking him to be her husband. Once Shiro has managed to recover from his near heart attack at this shocking request, Kilpha clarifies that she is planning a trip home to the cat-sìths’ village and the only way to give her family—in particular, her grandmother, the village chieftain—some peace of mind is to show up with a partner in tow. Eager to visit the home of the cat-sìths (otherwise known as “cat-ear paradise”), Shiro agrees to pretend to be in a romantic relationship with Kilpha, and the two of them set off to visit Kilpha’s home. But will it really be the kind of fluffy paradise Shiro envisions in his dreams?
