Volu 6, Chapter 5: The Lovely Daily Life of an Elentary School Girl, Part 1
and Onzada-kun had tired ourselves out, so we decided to get ran together.
Ran is high in calories, after all… and since I beca [], my body won’t grow any direction than up, however, even Demons shouldn’t be reckless. Since I started to use magical power recently, I’ve been getting tired more easily.
Oh, Dad-chan gave the default when I asked for ran. It seems like there is a delicate line not to cross when ordering, normally that wouldn’t happen by just ordering ‘ran’ casually like that.
Dad-chan’s ran carries a rich, rustic flavor, and the broth shines golden all the way to the bottom. I also enjoy the noodles our company makes for here. Recently, the chicken used for the stock has co from the higher ranked items from Nikuno Ham, so I’ll order this soup for life. Well, the bowl is also child-sized still.
“What are you talking about, Yuzu. I like the soup, but the roasted pork ran is unbeatable.”
“Hmm… It’s just a bit oily for .”
Dad-chan’s pork cutlets are prepared a bit differently than usual. It seems he didn’t like the cutlets from Nikuno Ham, so he talked with people in product developnt and made a fattier option.
It’s actually close to simred pork. When it’s heated with soup, the fat seems to drip off and add more richness, Onzada-kun liked to ask for a lot of noodles along with the special sauce and rice.
…Hmm? Did he say sothing?
“Onzada-kun, did you just say we should co again?”
“Because dinner is always so late, I always feel really hungry by this ti.”
…Oh well. If I gain weight I’ll force him on a diet too.
Today we ca to the shopping district by foot rather than driving.
To explain, Onzada-kun hates the feeling of the chairs in my car, saying “I can’t feel calm,” so he refused to ride and we ca this way instead.
I’m also a fourth grader now, and my parents aren’t as worried since I haven’t been attacked or kidnapped lately.
Also, Koto-chan has seen to it that Onzada-kun protects ; she seems to like it and approved to go out as long as I’m with him.
For so reason, Koto-chan would have a strangely warm smile on her face whenever I talked about Onzada-kun… She truly is mysterious, having such an interest in a male junior high student.
“……”
Recently, for so reason everything has been quiet around here. For example, whenever people see a male junior high schooler and a female elentary schooler wearing the Takamine school uniform walking side by side, it’s really conspicuous. I don’t know how we look from the outside, but since he and I don’t look alike we probably don’t look like brother and sister.
During our walk, two laughing male high schoolers saw us and approached while swaying slightly to and fro.
… Why are they shaking? Are they possessed?
Even if they pick a fight, Onzada-kun’s ready to protect , which I thought would drive them away, but as they approached they beca stranger and their eyes changed color.
Intimidating them didn’t work, they had a strange [Presence].
…Ah, they’re really single minded.
“What is with them…?”
Even though Onzada-kun was anxious, he naturally took a half-step in front of .
“Sorry, Onzada-kun, let’s get out of here.”
“Y-yeah”
I took Onzada-kun’s arm and moved forward calmly. Everything will be alright.
We passed to their side where their eyes were unfocused, but the next mont they raised their fists to attack from behind… I turned around and they froze as they looked at my crimson eyes.
At the sign that showed as a [Demon], the annoying [Presence] that had possessed them dissipated.
At the sa ti, sothing like “experience points” ca out of their soul and were scattered and reford into sothing that looked like a child, which looked at us peacefully.
I don’t know whether or not to hit the child, but I don’t really care so I just want to move on.
Because this all happened before a real fight started, nothing is reacting around us.
… Really, what’s with all this?

“Dad-chan, I’m here for ran~”
“I’ve said this before, Yuzu-chan, you know that I’m not Misa’s father, right?”
“Ah, Yuzu-chan”
“Misa”
Misa was helping a little around the shop so she ca over and gave a hug.
Misa’s gotten quite strong recently from helping in the shop, but I think I’d still win if I used the powers form being a demon.
The shop seems to be trending recently, so even though it’s early I can see so custors. Since I’m one of the more often seen children wandering around, and Misa got smiles from the storeowners.
Last year, Dad-chan was adopted by Ino-san, the ran store owner, and officially handed over the store this spring, so Dad-chan beca the shopkeeper here.
Also, since Ino-san was quite the grandpa, he’s retiring out to the country and doing “Matagi.”
… What is Matagi…?
“I see you brought Onzada-kun today, what will he be having?”
“Ah, the usual, please.”
“Got it, pork noodles and pork sh, coming up.”
As expected from Dad-chan. I wonder what else I should eat… For soone like who doesn’t taste food properly, Dad-chan’s ran that he puts his soul into is really a treat.
“Order up, Seaweed ran for Yuzu-chan.”
The ran was put in front of before I ordered.
“…Dad-chan, I haven’t ordered, right?”
“It’s fine, since Yuzu-chan ca during the day, the shopping center has doing well enough that I couldn’t possibly take money from Misa’s friends.”
No, not that, When did he decide I wanted seaweed ran? I guess you only get to decide what you’re eating when you pay. Well, I’ll eat it.
Looking to my side, Onzada-kun was slurping down his ran with a rich bowl of rice. Do I have at like that?
“This is why I said that whenever Yuzu cos, the service is really good.”
Onzada-kun noticed my look and said as such with a straight face.
Well, even though there are other custors, surely we didn’t get all the service, right? Thinking of that, I saw Misa just now taking orders from the other custors.
Impossible… is this why everyone scowls at us when we co in?
“…Huh?”
“What’s up, Yuzu?”
“Nothing, it looks like I have a ssage on my phone.”
While eating my ran, the seaweed told that a ssage was coming to my cell phone before it sunk into the broth and drowned. Hot ran is really not an environnt you can live in.
First, before checking my ssages I finished up my noodles before they got stretched. It seems that a few e-mails ca from this morning.
I had completely forgotten to check it fully… When I looked at the sender, it was all from Yuki-kun.
… Ah, I forgot that yesterday night was the information exchange.
I see, so that was the reason Yuki-kun was staring at this morning.
Yuki-san is so serious, he might have been waiting all the way until morning.
For the ti being, I typed [Ran Ti] and sent it with a picture of my ran before I drank up the rest of my soup.
Humu, it seed sowhat cold.
“…”
After I finished the soup, I felt a ‘Killing Intent’ like a frosty blizzard.
Since the other guests were still calm, I knew that the murderous feeling was only directed at . It was to the extent that Onzada-kun only barely looked around out of curiosity.
Due to its strength and control, it seems like this enemy is quite powerful. Such a thing, it’s the level where I have to protect everyone.
*Gara~*
“Dad-chan, get this kid so ran.”
“Don’t call Dad-chan all the ti… who is that kid?”
Misa ran over and took the hand of the boy who entered the shop.
“No, I’m here…”
“You were outside the shop? My Ni-chan’s ran is delicious!”
“…”
The boy gripped sothing and mumbled sothing, I could see his killing intent rising, as he stared at again.
“Yuki-kun, you really should eat this because it’s delicious, right?
＊
After that, Yuki-kun went ho bringing two noodle dishes with him while glaring at .
Apparently he wasn’t interested in the food from this world, but was touched by the taste of ran he tried here.
“Is he your friend, Yuzu?”
“Yeah, he’s a classmate.”
Since Koto-chan was a first year university student now, she ca to pick up. Whether she ca just to pick up or to see Dad-chan, I’m not quite sure.
Koto has beco quite beautiful since becoming a college student. Dad-chan also clearly felt like she’d grown up, so every ti Koto-chan cos, he seems a little softer. Spring may have passed, but ‘Spring’ is on its way.
Ah, I got a hateful email from Yuki-kun… He might seriously fight if I miss tonight again…. I feel sort of tired now.
“Yuzu… do you know him well?”
“Yeah? What about Yuki-kun?”
It’s been quiet since Yuki-kun ca, so Onzada-kun spoke to while raising an eyebrow.
“I see… I feel like that wasn’t the first ti I t them.”
“… Is that so?”
I wonder what Yuki-kun did.
“Anyways Yuzu, please be careful. I can’t protect you all the ti.”
“Y-yeah…”
Onzada-kun? What happened…?
“Yuzu…? Your face is becoming red.”
Koto-chan, who was watching my and Onzada-kun’s conversation suddenly looked serious and put a hand on my forehead.
“…There might be a slight fever.”
“Yeah? I can’t tell.”
I feel a little heavy.
This body is still so weak… It seems like even Demons can catch a cold. Tonight has beco troubleso for real.

Next ti is Yuki-kun’s training.
