I teased Fran's children with a joke mode that could not exist among ordinary people, and I contentedly abandoned the childish idea that "Miss Love, who caused me trouble, is a close friend of Fran, so she bullied Fran-chan to regain a little psychological balance". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The idea of deliberately avoiding sensitive (self-perceived) content kept Fran-chan fresh for a while, and Miss Maruko was also satisfied with the stock of many bizarre story materials, and then watched TV and chatted about the time until eight o'clock in the evening.

According to hearsay, eight o'clock at night is a very good time to accumulate popularity, so powerful modern art works are usually broadcast at eight o'clock as the goal, but at the moment the TV is not a TV series or cartoon, but a certain food program, I thought that in terms of Miss Maruko's profession and hobbies, I should choose to watch animation or TV series.

The host of the food show was enjoying a plate of brightly colored double-layered creamy fruit cake in front of the camera in a large store, and Miss Maruko drooled and said, "Speaking of which, that strange place called the Earth Spirit Temple has many professional-grade desserts in addition to a lot of cute little animals." ”

"Huh? Oh, and while it's good, it's still a lot of getting tired of eating ......."

As if being reminded of the overlooked point, Fran's children also raised their hands while drooling at the TV, shouting, "Fran wants dessert!" ”

"Approved! Let's go! ”

Was it a whim out foraging for food caused by a TV show, or was it premeditated, so I brewed my appetite through the TV show, and while I was pulled by one big and one small to go out to find the dessert hut together, I wondered whether it was appropriate to go out at will, and at the same time felt that the reception banquet of the Earth Spirit Temple attached to the underground trip might be the main inducement, but for Miss Alice, who had temporarily abandoned the way of living at home for nearly a hundred years, going out to forage for food and shopping by the way should be a good pastime.

It would be nice if there was a purple witch with a dead house who was better than me, and it would be nice to make do with a black and white magic apprentice, and in our thoughts, we came to the shopping street near the crowded apartment.

"Wow, that's a lot of people!" Fran's children took the trouble to repeat similar words.

"Wow, there are so many people...... I remembered wandering the streets in confusion at night a few days ago, saying who was the person who gave me information and the direction of the investigation in the first place. It seems to be an innocent high school student on the streets of Shibuya who was brutally intimidated by me?

"The large number of people is a direct proof of prosperity," says Maruko, "and I can't imagine what the world would be like if Tokyo became less populated, and there are many movies and literary works that depict the apocalyptic crisis." ”

"Ahh That kind of book, uh, maybe it's a comic, I've read it, but a natural disaster, a virus, or some other man-made disaster that has made the whole world go from prosperity to ruins, and I haven't had an intuitive feeling all the time, and there have never been many people in Gensokyo, and I don't feel it until I know a little bit about Tokyo these days, and it seems really scary to go from more people to fewer people. ”

"Huh...... Stop talking about such a terrible topic, we are aiming for dessert! ”

Didn't she bring up the topic herself?

"Dessert! Dessert! Fran wants a three-tier fruit cake! It's a cake that's even better than the cake made by Sakiya! ”

"Ah, Miss Sixteen Nights is a very capable professional maid no matter how you look at it, and although I haven't enjoyed Miss Sixteen Nights' craft, it may be difficult to find a better dessert shop than hers," said Miss Maruko with great unconfidence, "but if you give up your fear of fat, you will definitely be full!" ”

"More! That's more! Fran shouted again, "Sakiya and her sister always don't let Fran eat!" ”

"That's for your health." I say.

"Fran has always been super healthy!"

"Don't brag, your dear sister didn't do such an excessive thing for, eh, your health problems."

"Something excessive?" Miss Maruko asked curiously, "Fran's sister must be older than her...... Is it an adult? What would be the excesses that Gensokyo residents have done? ”

"No, in fact, it's also a teenager, and the so-called birth from the heart is not an empty word."

"I'm sorry I don't understand at all."

"Ah...... In short, the excessive thing is that the child is innocent and naughty, there is nothing to say," this sentence is not a lie, in order to prevent myself from being pitted again, I quickly changed the topic, "Why is the child so excited?" That、That cartoonist、Eh、Sensei didn't take you out for dessert? Ah yes, Miss Maruko said that she was very busy, and it was understandable that she was almost a squatter at home and didn't take you out, and Fran-chan was so pitiful. ”

"Don't speak ill of Eriko's sister!" The blonde young girl raised her fist in protest.

"Looks like people are treating you very well."

Harvest the grimace of a young girl.

"Ahem, I just found out that Mr. Jing Yi can take care of people, it's really not easy." Miss Maruko interjected.

"It's forced, the wayward sister is very good at making it difficult." I say.

“……”

"Don't speak ill of your sister!" Fran shouted again, and added, "But Alice is so right! ”

"My sister said the same, and the eldest lady is so pitiful."

“……”

Under the leadership of a professional editor who is familiar with urban life, we came to a large restaurant with spacious space, simple decoration, and dessert as the main business, and sat down in a four-person position by the window away from the main entrance.

Because I was curious about the working girl's work clothes, which were similar to Marisa's or Miss Sakiya's daily outfits, I looked at the working girl's outfit for a while, and then met her gaze.

"Wow, ahhhh Yes, yes......" The working girl's face gave me a familiar impression, and her deliberately suppressed exclamation made me feel as if I had seen her somewhere.

"Hmm-" recalled for a moment, "Ah! It's you! So, who is that? ”

"Ah, haha, haha, it's me, Miss Pretty Girl from a foreign country, the map, the ...... who gave you the map"

"Oh!" Isn't it the girl in the high school duo who provided the clue that I accidentally recalled earlier, and it was her uncle who was a police officer who gave me Masako's clue, "What a coincidence, that...... Thank you again for your help. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, although the gods are mysterious, I think you should be a good person." Ami-san, who was smiling as a professional waiter, sent me a good person card.

Is it a good person if you didn't leave her and her boyfriend behind? But she didn't hold a grudge against me, which reassured me a lot.

"A lot of people have said I'm a good person, so I'm really a good person," nodded in agreement with her assessment, "Ah yes, my name is Alice, Miss Foreigner Pretty Girl, what's too troublesome." ”

Ami took the large string of desserts drawn out by Fran, "Hehe, I'm sorry I was too, I was surprised, I forgot to ask your name, now it looks like Miss Alice is really a super beautiful girl, no wonder Ah Cheng ...... Ahem, is this blonde girl your sister? It's so cute, and this mature beauty sister looks so ordinary...... Is that all there is to the menu? ”

"That's, that's," I said, "Fran seems to have taken our share as well." ”

"Not really!"

"Although Miss Maruko has a treat, don't go too far, it's enough for four people here."

"It's okay," the rich editor slapped the table boldly, "provided you don't spoil your stomach." ”

"Guaranteed not to be bad!"
