Along the main street in the late afternoon, I took a leisurely walk. I didn’t really have any particular goal in mind today, but since I had so free ti, I thought of taking a stroll down the main street and do so shopping.
Being the best street in Symphonia’s royal capital, it’s very crowded today. As I moved my gaze while thinking about such things, my eyes suddenly t with a person who was walking in front of .
[……Ahh.]
[……Geh.]
The one who looked at with a blatantly displeased look on her face upon seeing was Elise-san, wearing her usual fantasy robe.
We both live in Symphonia’s royal capital, so it isn’t really impossible for us to et by chance like this but…… eting her today was quite the coincidence.
[Hello, Elise-san. What a coincidence, eting you here.]
[Yes, hello…… Rather, it’s quite rare for to go out and buy groceries, but when I happen to go out, I just have to bump into you…… It would be reasonable of to think that Human-san has beco my stalker, don’t you think?]
I was suspected of being a stalker just because I ran into her on the street. No, well, Elise-san had the habit of speaking sharply, so if she’s just suspicious of , then it should be fine…… I think.
[By the way, Human-san. Do you have so free ti right now?]
[Ehh? Y- Yes, I think so.]
[Then, go shopping with for a bit. I’ll thank you with sothing appropriate later.]
[H- Huhh…… Well, I don’t mind.]
I’m just loitering around anyway, so going along with her shopping isn’t a problem, but being invited by her still sowhat surprised .
Rather, eting Elise-san outside of her shop is quite rare, so how should I say this…… It’s kinda refreshing.
Nodding once when she heard my words, Elise-san then started walking. I figured that she wanted to follow her, so I followed Elise-san and called out to her.
[So, what is it that you wanted to buy?]
[Various things…… but most of it were stuff for the upcoming Valentine’s Day.]
[Chocolates?]
[Nope, not that.]
[Arehh?]
[Valentine’s Day is a good ti for to make money. I get more requests for compatibility readings, and I also sell a lot of accessories that bring luck in love. That’s why, I’m going to buy materials for my accessories.]
Now that she ntioned it, that would certainly make sense. Elise-san runs a fortune-telling shop, so this would certainly be the ti of the year where she would be especially busy.
Especially when it cos to accessories that increase one’s luck in love, Elise-san, who is good at making magic tools, may be able to make sothing that actually has so effect.
[……Well, I’m sure that the Love Monster, Human-san, wouldn’t need such accessories.]
[L- Love Monster? N- No, it’s not like I’m……]
[Please look at the mirror and try saying that again. There’s nothing to describe Human-san, who is dating not just so of the mbers of the Six Kings, but even God of Creation-sama herself, other than Monster.]
[………………..]
This is bad…… I can’t refute her words. Let’s stop expanding on this topic any further. I’m at too much of a disadvantage.
As we were walking along, exchanging such words, Elise-san spotted a stall and approached it.
[Welco.]
[May I have a look at your products?]
[!? ]
When the owner welcod her, Elise-san’s expression changed from her usual displeased one to one that I had never seen before…… I an, she kind of looks like a different person with that archaic smile on her face, which made look at Elise-san in surprise.
[Oya? You lovers? Quite the handso couple, you both are. You look great together.]
[Fufufu, saying stuff like that is impolite to him, you know? I’m just forcing him to go shopping with .]
[!?!? ]
……Who the heck is this? This elegant smile and polite words…… Isn’t she acting really different from her normal self!?
In front of the surprised , Elise-san exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and purchased so items.
Then, when she left the store with , her expression returned to her usual one and muttered at a volu that only I, who was standing next to her, could hear.
[……You got a problem or what?]
[N- No, nothing at all.]
[I’m still working in a business that requires to deal with people, so I can at least use a sales smile and use polite words.]
……But you never faced with such a look, nor did you speak politely towards …… Ahh, no, she was speaking politely towards when we first t at the Six Kings Festival, wasn’t she?
She had been speaking sharply towards ever since we t again in the Symphonia Kingdom though……
[I don’t need to use polite words when talking with Human-san. I also don’t have to keep up a business smile.]
[……Errr, does that an that you could let your guard down around or sothing like that……]
[……Think of it as you want.]
H- Hmmm…… She was as salty as ever, but she didn’t deny it. Does that an that she thinks of as a friend?
After a few hours of slowly visiting several stores and purchasing many items, we were currently walking towards Elise-san’s shop when she suddenly called out to .
[Human-san, since you’ve helped out, how about so coffee?]
[Ahh, yes.]
[Also…… I’ll also give you this.]
[……Eh?]
Saying this, Elise presented with a small, high-class-looking box…… I think the logo on the box was the logo of a famous chocolate company.
That ans, errr, that this is chocolate, right……
[I’m a little reluctant to say this…… but I don’t really hate Human-san. That’s why, even though it’s a few days early, I’m just going to give you so Valentine’s Day chocolate.]
[Ah, yes.]
[By the way, I may be sowhat good at cooking, but I’ve never baked before, so the chocolates were bought from a store. However, I won’t accept any complaints.]
[……Thank you. I’m happy to receive this.]
[……Speaking of which, it’s already lunchti, so co eat with .]
[Yes. I guess I’ll take you up on that offer.]
Even though she was still looking away, Elise-san’s voice seed a little gentler than usual.
[……You bring quite a lot of troubles but…… I rather like you, Human-san.]
[Eh? Sorry, what did you just……]
[It’s nothing. Co on, let’s get going.]
Elise-san’s mumbled words were too small to be heard but…… I think Elise-san’s cheeks seed to be blushing a bit.
