Chapter 5 Hello, Arashi-sama
Because this room has not been inhabited for a long time, even with Sakura's help, Arashi still cleans the room late. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although his biological clock after years of training still makes him wake up the moment the sun shines through the window, his body's instinct is still complaining that he has not been well rested.
Lan, who couldn't get used to the shrinking of his body, sat up from the floor with his somewhat tired body, and he had given up the only room in the house to the little ghost. In any case, he has no habit of sleeping in the same bed with the imps.
But this somewhat dull morning had a strange twist and turn because of someone who shouldn't have been. Arashi, who jumped up from the bed suddenly, looked at the blonde girl who was kneeling on the edge of her bed at some point.
"Who are you?" didn't attack at the first time, Arashi had her own considerations. Since the other party can sneak into the room silently while he is sleeping, he is definitely above himself at this moment in terms of strength.
It is undoubtedly an extremely unwise decision to act rashly without fully ascertaining the intentions of the other party. With this in mind, Arashi replaced his fist with a question and began their first contact between the two parties.
The blonde girl, who was half illuminated by the sunlight outside the window, was wearing knight's armor that she had never seen before, her hands with silver armor were folded on her thighs, and the golden ponytail behind her head was flickering, and the girl bent down slightly and smiled.
"Good morning, Arashi-sama. Without giving Arashi a chance to speak, the girl answered the question she had just asked, "My name is Joan of Arc, and by order of the Holy Grail, I will protect your safety in this world and take care of your life. ”
Putting down her guarded hands with some difficulty in understanding, Arashi turned her head sideways to look at the girl who had always been sitting upright, and continued to ask in a cautious tone, "What do you mean?"
Sure enough, the rumors that Arashi-sama was stupid were true. Sighing, Joan of Arc kept herself seated, and then, with extreme patience and exhaustive rhetoric, explained to the other party why she was here.
"In other words, are you the Heroic Spirit who was summoned by the Holy Grail to protect me?And the so-called Heroic Spirit is the soul of a person who has left a great mark in history and become a legend?" Although he was confused, Arashi summed up the girl's meaning in two sentences.
"Although there are still some discrepancies in this explanation, Arashi-sama thinks that it would be better if this understanding can trust me. The bright blue eyes turned into crescent moons because of the smile, and the girl named Joan of Arc showed an innate affinity.
"Why do you want to protect me?" Lan, who had to start thinking about the reasonableness of the girl's words in her mind, missed Honglian's chattering mouth a little.
"Because you are important to the Holy Grail. Joan of Arc didn't seem to have the intention of concealing it, "It's just that for your safety, please don't let the people of this world know, so as not to have unnecessary disputes." ”
"Important?" Arashi asked again as if confirmed, but no wonder he was puzzled, if it was who received such a message in broad daylight, he would be puzzled.
"Yes, I don't know much, but the Holy Grail does convey the message of your vital relationship with me when it summons me. Joan of Arc, who nodded silently, repeated her narrative.
"What is the Holy Grail?"
"It's a bit of a pain to explain, but it's more important to know that your city is in a war every sixty years for the possession of the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail fulfills a wish of whoever gets it, whatever it may be. ”
"Any wish?"
"Yes, as long as it is the claim of the victor, the Holy Grail will fulfill it. ”
"And you're the heroic spirit summoned by the wishing machine to protect me?" Arashi, who had a headache, pointed his finger at his temple, and Arashi, who had changed to sit cross-legged, kept a proper distance from the girl.
"It's great that you've finally understood. The smile on her face did not change at all, but Joan of Arc, who was as amiable as the big sister next door, said words that seemed to be complaining.
The first conversation between the two had to come to an end here, because the little ghost who had just woken up had already opened the door and walked into the living room.
"Ernie sauce, are you going to get ready for work...... "Probably at first glance, Kiri-Sakura, who saw Joan !!of Arc's existence and rubbed her sleepy eyes, let out a cry of surprise.
"Good morning, Miss. Unclear about the girl's relationship with Arashi, Joan of Arc had to be called a polite one.
Although he was still skeptical of Joan of Arc's words, a humble plan appeared in Arashi's mind when he saw the imp coming out in his pajamas.
"Yes, it's time to go to work. The little ghost, her name is Joan of Arc, and she is ......" Eyes moved to Sakura Makiri, who opened her mouth wide, and Arashi looked at the girl hesitantly.
"It's Arashi-sama's attendant, so please take care of me when we meet for the first time. Joan of Arc, who understood what Arashi meant, helped her protector come up with a plausible reason.
"Ah......" Sakura opened her mouth in a panic, and Sakura hurriedly saluted, "You don't need to call me Miss, just call me Sakura." ”
"Okay, Sakura. Joan of Arc, who nodded, had established a preliminary relationship with the family.
"Let's have breakfast first. Arashi, who stood up from the ground, looked at the clock on the wall. Because of Joan of Arc's delay, it was close to eight o'clock at this time, which was a little insufficient for him who was about to go to work.
"This kind of thing, Arashi-sama, please leave it to me. Joan of Arc, who got ahead of Arashi and quickly got up and walked into the open kitchen, showed unexpected positivity.
"Uh...... All right. Kid, it's time to brush your teeth. Greeting the hesitant Sakura, Arashi walked to the bathroom.
Standing on the small bench, Sakura Makiri, who was as tall as Arashi, kept secretly looking at Arashi with a look of desire to stop while brushing her teeth. didn't know that this scene was completely seen by Lan through the mirror, but Lan hadn't included the other party in the crowd that needed to be explained for the time being, so he just quickly sorted out his appearance and walked out of the bathroom by himself.
But when he came to the table, he had to be shocked by the situation in front of him. Let's not mention how the girl prepared a breakfast for three people in a short time. Just the appearance of the food in front of you is really -- it can only be described as simple and exaggerated.
"It's the most manly match in the military. With a gentle smile on her face, Joan of Arc introduced her cooking to Arashi and Sakura. It can be described as simple, generous, raw (undercooked), and highly nutritious (fully preserving the food itself).
Somewhat surprisingly, it tastes good, despite its terrible appearance. Maybe it's because he's not picky eaters, and after eating all the food, Arashi looks at the little ghost head across the table. Sakura is still fighting with the food that drowns her face at the moment, and she is probably a little embarrassed for this child.
"Little ghost, follow Joan of Arc today. Just take a stroll around the nearby park and don't go too far. Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Arashi, who had already stood up, said to the little ghost.
"Huh......" Sakura said with some disappointment, "But I want to go to the dojo with Ernie-chan." ”
"Let's take Joan of Arc to familiarize herself with her surroundings first, lest she get lost later. Arashi said in a tone that could not be denied, and then walked to the bathroom and began to change clothes.
"Okay. Lowering her head and taking a bite of food that she didn't know how to describe in a noun, Sakura answered in a low voice.
"Well, you take care of your home. Arashi, who dropped this sentence, finally wandered his gaze on the lost Sakura and Joan of Arc, who was always smiling, and he said quietly, "I'm out." (To be continued.) )
