There is not much difference between being stupid and being smart, if you want to say why, of course, it is because each has its own feelings, even if one party seems clumsy and one party seems smart, they are all the same standing on the same starting line.

The idea of wanting to be with others can probably be divided into the category of 'love', and as far as Natsume is concerned, being together is a manifestation of liking in itself.

The conversation with Kotori ended, and Natsume, who was alone in this room, lay directly on the sofa, his body sunk down and heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Wearing high heels, the rattling tone was like an unadjusted note, vibrating Natsume's nerves.

Now Natsume doesn't want to be quiet alone, but he wants to find someone he can talk to, and he wants to say all his words and complaints.

But does such an object really exist?

I don't belong to this world, I'm just an alien traveler, and the words hidden in my heart can't be told to others.

But Natsume suddenly thought of the elves that had descended here, these elves from the neighboring realm, weren't they just like him? It's the same from another world, it's the same outsider, the only difference is that Natsume's arrival didn't cause a space earthquake.

Explanation is explanation, different is different, and when it comes to this, Natsume still thinks about where the elves and himself are.

At this end of his thoughts, Natsume noticed that when the footsteps stopped, the world became dark, and something was placed on his face, blocking the light.

Natsume picked it up with her right hand, and after pulling a distance from it, she realized that it was tempura wrapped in a bag.

When making tempura. The freshness of the ingredients is the primary criterion. The most important thing is to choose different seasonal vegetables according to the season. However, for the current summer, eggplant and edamame should be chosen, but in the fall, moray eel, cuttlefish, and oysters are turned on.

Looking at the golden tempura that was placed in the bag, Natsume's gaze shifted and he saw Reion Murayu, who had a ragdoll bear on his left chest.

"Miss Murayu?"

“…… Should I say it's been a long time? Although I saw you doing up and down exercises in the bathroom through the monitor a few days ago. ”

"Don't use such an easy misleading statement, I'm just wiping the stains on the bathroom that I suddenly saw, and if I use a rag, I'm sure I'm going to do some kind of 'up and down movement'."

“…… Against the dolls? ”

"I said you misunderstood something, so why did you bring this thing here? Could it be the tempura made by Miss Murayu? ”

Tempura that should look delicious. Natsume asked reflexively.

I don't know if I was looking for words that could be explained, and after a pause for a while, Ling Yin clapped her hands gently.

“…… It's kind of a thing, but it's just a trial work, because the captain has something to do, and he doesn't want to cause trouble at the same time, so he brought it to you. ”

"That's right."

Talking to Miss Murayu, who looks sleepy, Natsume doesn't know how to deal with this person.

But now he only felt a little hungry, and when he came here early in the morning, he really felt a little hard.

Do it on the couch. Natsume opened the bag, and a scent overflowed from it.

Just as Natsume was about to stand up and look for chopsticks. A pair of disposable chopsticks came out from near her left ear, something that Miss Murayu had prepared a long time ago.

Natsume thanked him and picked up one of the pieces, and the flour, eggs, water, and pulp were fried on a crispy and delicious surface, and the tip of his tongue was beating as if he was enjoying it.

The taste is really good, and if you make it yourself, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach this level, rather, it is simply a master-level level.

The moray eel meat in your mouth is chewy, and it spreads in your mouth because of the golden skin and the aroma of the meat.

The evocative return seems to have been inhaled into the bloodstream, circulating naturally throughout the body.

Sitting across from Natsume, Reine poured a glass of water from the water dispenser in the house and put the tea bag inside.

After Natsume had eaten a few pieces, he handed the brewed tea to Natsume, but his face still had the same sleepy expression.

Because the dark circles caused by insomnia have not been solved now, and it is serious in Natsume, and Murayu Lingyin is a very individual, and a little strange person.

He was puzzled by Murayu Lingyin's current actions, and it was better to fill his stomach than to think about things that had no answers.

C.C., who is still in the dormitory, must be eating breakfast in the lobby with the rest of the class.

Putting down the chopsticks, before Natsume said the words that were influenced by the influence, 'Thank you for your hospitality', Murayu Reine spoke first.

“…… Actually, I'm lying to you, it's just something I took from the hotel kitchen. ”

"Actually, I also think that Miss Murayu shouldn't be able to do something, after all, she's very busy."

“…… I always feel that there is some ridicule in your words, is it my delusion? ”

"Don't say that to me with a stun gun in your hand! Doesn't Miss Murayu still have to work? Everyone else is busy, right now. ”

“…… Compared to those, I'm a little concerned about Natsume's younger brother's situation, wilting or something. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

“…… But now I don't need to worry about it, it's much better. ”

Looking at the smile on the face of Murayu Lingyin, Natsume, who came back to his senses, realized that he had become much more relaxed.

I've been thinking about C.C.'s future, Kurumi's future decisions, and the actions Yakuya will take, etc., and those heavy questions don't seem to exist for me now.

Should I say happy or relaxed, Natsume is very grateful to Murayu Reine for what he has done.

“…… Then, it's time for you to decide. ”

"I know that the duel between Yakuya and Yuxian must be won or lost."

“…… According to the investigation, they may have become impatient because of this victory, and the power in their bodies began to flow uneasily, and if they caused a spatial earthquake, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

I know that too.

Natsume nodded clearly, just as Murayu Lingyin said, it is absolutely impossible to let the space shock appear here.

Is it time to take action? Raid the elf girl, save the elf girl, and then, seal the girl, learn to fall in love.

Standing up from his position, Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good, let's work hard now!"

“…… Effort? It's good to be motivated, and by the way, the tempura just now costs 1,000 yen. ”

"It's so expensive!"

I had to collect money.

Natsume returned to the dormitory from Ratatoskr after handing over the money for the purchase of tempura to Reine Murayu. (To be continued......)
