Jikuu Mahou chapter 348: Dried sweet potatoes

Shortly after having helped the girl, Aya and the others came.

「Ah, Nii-chan is picking up a girl～」

「What the hell」

When I talk to girls, it always looks like this.

「Ah, Maruyama Aya-san! And Kawai Mai-san!」

「Hmm?」

「Oya, you know who we are?」

The girl who I helped knew Aya and Mai's name. By any chance, this girl......

「Forgive me. I am called 『Iwao Kimiyo』. Arisa Nishimura, who won 【Lightweight】, was disqualified for some reason, so it was decided that I, as second place, am going to participate in tomorrow's tournament. Therefore please treat me well」

After all, we didn't see the [Lightweight] matches, but I thought I had seen her somewhere. However, she has a tough surname. There are too many gaps in appearance.

「Come to think of it, I feel like I have seen you in the Karate tournament venue!」

「I'm honored that Aya-san remembered me!」

「Kimiyo-chan, you′re exaggerating, aren't you～」

Kimiyo-chan then rushed to Mai-san′s side.

「Kawai Mai-san!」

「What?」

「A, a, a......please shake hands with me!」

「Handshake?」

「I've been a fan of you since I was little!」

She is still tiny.

Kimiyo-san and Mai-san shake hands. Yurie-san looks at them as if it is a scene where her lover is taken away. Yurie-san calm down.

Chatting in a place like this isn't good, so I decided to head to the hotel we're staying in.

----------

We arrived at the hotel that the Karate Association had prepared.

「Hotel...... worn-out」

Aya, it's useless if you think about it.

As we reserved an additional room in the hotel in advance, it became a total of 3 rooms. Mai and Yurie-san′s room, Aya and my room and Elena and Hilda′s room.

Kimiyo-san has a single room.

We finished the check-in and went to our own rooms for the time being.

「Why, I'm in the same room as Nii-chan!」

As I entered the room, Aya came down.

「We have no choice, I only got three rooms, if Aya hates it, you could also stay in the room of Elena and Hilda～」

「No, that would be too much!!」

「I got tired, so let me have a little rest」

When I lie down on a bed like that.......

Aya suddenly began to set up an elbow drop.

「What are you doing!」

I avoid it at the last minute.

「The window-side bed is mine!」

「HeiHei」

Because there was no other way, I moved to the next bed.

「Well then, this time, let me rest」

「Nii-chan......」

「What is it now」

「I'm hungry……」

I'm tired.......

「H-u-n-g-r-y」

「Understood～」

Somehow, I got exhausted....... Later, I should let Elena use 【Recovery magic】 on me.......

----------

I brought everyone, and we came to invite Kimiyo-san to dinner.

Knock Knock.

「Let's go to dinner, Kimiyo-san～」

Dongaragaashaan.

Hmm? It sounds like I heard something......

「Kimiyo-san, are you all right?」

「Sorry, I am Kimiyo Iwao. I came from Japan!」

I wonder if she is about to blow a fuse again.......

「Kimiyo-san, it's me～」

「You...... are?」

Kimiyo-san who managed to regain her composure finally opened the door.

「Sorry, I panicked......」

「Well, it's overseas, so it can not be helped. We will go for dinner together, so won't you go with us?」

「Dinner......?」

Kimiyo-san′s expression clouds somehow.

「Aren't you hungry yet?」

「No, not really....... Money...... there isn't much......」

「Eh? Did you mean you lost your wallet?」

「No, my house, is poor...... ah, but I brought some food from Japan, so it's okay」

「What did you bring?」

「This」

What Kimiyo-san showed me was.......

「Dried potatoes?」

It was dried sweet potatoes in a plastic container. Maybe handmade.

「Yes, I love dried potatoes」

Serious.......

「Are you going to have a match tomorrow and you're hanging on with dried sweet potatoes?」

「I...... I love dried sweet potatoes......」

「Is that so......」

What should I do....... The story is heavy.......

「Hey, that potato, Please give me one!」

Aya didn't read the air[1] but said such a strange thing.

「Eh? Ah, yes」

When Aya got the plastics container from Kimiyo-chan, she did not hesitate to eat.

「I was so hungry that I was dying～」

Aya ate half of the dried potatoes in the plastic container.

「Hey, Aya! Fool, you ate too much」

When I strike Aya's head tightly, Aya pulls out her tongue and exposes a stupid face.

「Kimiyo-san, I'm sorry. My sister......」

「N, No......, it's alright」

「Kimiyo-chan, I'm sorry~. I was starving to death. I'll treat you to dinner instead」

As Aya winks, Kimiyo-san takes a sorry pose for her.

I see! In order to make her have dinner with a natural flow, Aya deliberately ate sweet potatoes!

「Well, you don't have to worry about the money, because Nii-chan is paying～」

Right～.

「But those dried sweet potatoes are really delicious. Can I eat a little more?」

I was impressed that she was so stupid....... Aya seems to have just wanted to eat dried sweet potatoes.

[1] - For those who may not know, "reading the air" is a common saying in japan (and generally around the world) that means "to judge a situation". In this case Aya simply didn't judge the situation she was in and acted weirdly or simply didn't fit in.
