22-022-Unexpected visitor

"128 years of St. King's life, Blue Moon, 35th of the same day, this afternoon.

So, Onii-chan. Go on a date with Elena.

What's the matter with you, my dear...

As soon as we returned from the castle, Satsuki said something outlandish.

''I know that Onii-chan is a shrewd, indecisive, eight-sided bastard, so do something about that thing.

'How to say it!　...and what?

At the end of Satsuki's point, Elena, who had puffed out her cheeks in an unhappy manner, was looking at me with zit eyes.

''Um, Elena-san...?''

Excuse me?

Are you angry...?

"I'm not angry!

''The atmosphere is scary or something, for that matter. What can I do for you...?

Is that what you want?

Yes, sir!

◇ ◇.

To be honest, I don't know what's going on here, but Elena and I came to the South Street.

The Holy City of Plutena is a symmetrical structure with four towns in a cruciform shape, east, west, north, south, south, west, north and south, but of course, if the places are different, the people and shops are different.

South Street is sold with many restaurants for young people, in short, it is a date spot.

"~♪

And in front of the "pile of fruit cut into various shapes", a hot topic of conversation that is popular in South Street, Elena, who should have been looking fierce like Shura just a few minutes ago, looked very pleased.

Come to think of it, when Mary, a clergywoman, asked me to be her escort, I got pushed away from her once, so it's really difficult to have a woman's heart.

'This is the first time I've ever eaten alone with Elena, after all. It's always Satsuki was always close to me.

(Haha. Satsuki's favorite child, you know.

While mugging an apple with a rabbit-like design, Elena says something strange.

'My favorite child........ And for that, he called me an a**h*le or something just now.

"Well, well, well, that's just another way of hiding the fact that he's doing you a favor.

What a twisted expression of affection, even for my little sister, Onii-chan, I'm in trouble.

.........Well, if Satsuki is sticky and spoiled, that would be creepy.

As we were talking about this, the people around us began to move towards the north with some kind of coloration.

''What's going on?''

'Hmmm ... yeah, I see. Apparently, Princess Priscia and Pete showed up in town for their unveiling.

Although Pete and his friends have become known as the Holy Dragons due to the King's crane call, it still takes some time for the whole country to get the word out about it.

It seems that Princess Priscia and Pete are parading around the city to show their faces to the people and adventurers of the Holy Royal Capital, in order to both promote awareness and the princess' tomboyish desire to go out.

''Princess Priscia and Pete.......they both look happy, I'm really happy for them.

'Yeah, totally. I thought about that with Sharon, but what can I say... I'm so happy.

It's a little hard to express in words, but I think "happy" is the closest I can get.

I wonder if it's the same for Elena, and she smiled softly, as if the pouty face from earlier was a lie.

I've heard that the bard's narration of praise for Princess Priscia and Pete has come up. You can hear it if you go to the tavern.

"Wow, that's pretty cool.

According to a rumor, Princess Pricia healed the injured Pete and when the curse was lifted, he became a holy dragon, which is his true form~ and in the last scene, Pete rescued the kidnapped Princess Pricia.

Naturally, our existence isn't even mentioned in the slightest, but the story of how Sifu and his friends broke through the castle's security in the middle of the night on a dragon is not good, so I hope the story continues to spread.

'And the princess of the human race and the son of the dragon race continue to cuddle together as best friends....... Hahhh, it's so wonderful that two different species can recognize each other's values and coexist in harmony.

I guess so.

"I'd love to see something like that.

Mmm-hmm.

"After all, tribal differences are trivial.

Oh, yeah.

There's something about Elena that makes me feel really goofy!

I was a little confused, and Elena's face came closer.

''I want to stay with Kanata-san forever. From now on ... forever ... and ever!''

Oh, yeah.

I repeated the same reply, but then Elena fell silent as she gazed into my eyes.

Is this waiting for some kind of reply...?

....

No, I'm... no, I'm... no, I'm... with Elena!

And then...

Eat and run!

We huffed and puffed at the shout that suddenly came from the stalls, and we returned to our original distance.

And right after that, we heard a clatter nearby and turned to look in that direction...

'd*mn it!　Why is this timing so important?

.........The identity of the noise was Satsuki.

'You, why are you sneaking around........'

This scene!　This atmosphere!　In this vein!　No way is this a food escape event!　That's about as close as you can get to not being able to read the atmosphere!　Where is my love for you?

While silencing the foolishness of the noise in the middle of the café with a chop, I turned to the direction of the shouting and saw a boy with a rag on his head running through the seats.

In his small hand he held what looked like a boiled potato.

I see. I see.

I was looking at the boy who was running away in an unenthusiastic mood, but Satsuki pointed to it and bashed me on the shoulder.

'You can't be a thief!　

You're being very honest... But I guess it can't be helped.

I wasn't too keen on it, but I grabbed the wooden skewer that was stuck in the fruit in my right hand and put my magic power into it....

Shadow stitching!

I predicted the boy's running trajectory and threw it straight at him with my right hand.

'Whoa!'

The skewer thrown in the manner of a throwing sword brilliantly caught the shadow of the boy who escaped from eating, and the familiar shadow stitching skill was activated every time.

'What the hell is this!　Come on, come on, come on!

Well, it's worse than eating and running.

"What?　d*mn it!　We can't be stuck in this shithole!　Oh, my God, help!　Nee-chan!''

It's too bad that he didn't know what to do, but when the owner caught him after all, he dragged him away.

I mean, even though it's the Holy City, it doesn't mean they're all rich, after all.

As I blurted out, Elena gazed at the boy with narrowed eyes... and her face changed color.

''Kanata-san!

Hmm?

"That boy is an elf!
