Chapter 165 Neun-san Looks Strange (1/2)

20th day of the Tree month. Under the clear sky, I stood in the garden of Lilia-san’s mansion, my eyes scurrying about.

There’s actually a visitor scheduled to come to Lilia-san’s mansion today, and I’m the one to greet him.

The reason why I, who isn’t a servant of Lilia-san’s mansion, is coming to greet him is that this visitor is an acquaintance of mine…… Hmmm. It’s about time he arrived……

Shortly after thinking that, I heard a loud voice that resounded well in the garden.

[Oiii. Kaito!]

[Acht!]

A large man with blue skin and two horns, standing nearly two meters tall…… This is Acht, a Blue Ogre who I met and became friends with when I was invited to eat barbecue by Kuro.

It seems that he came in human form just as I asked him to do before, greatly waving his hand as he walked towards me with a refreshing smile on his face.

[Well~~ My bad, we took the wrong turn earlier and arrived a bit late.]

[No, it’s fine. Welcome, Acht.]

[Ooh! Ahh, that’s right, let me introduce you. This is my partner……]

[I’m Eval, a Special Individual of the Black Wolf Race, the Silver Wolf. It’s a pleasure to meet you.]

With Acht’s words, a beautiful silver-haired woman appears from behind.

With long, bushy hair resembling that of a lion’s mane, large triangular beast ears, and even a long silver tail peeking out from her waist, she’s a beautiful woman that definitely looks like a beastman.

The word “fluffy” somehow popped into my head.

[I’m Miyama Kaito. It’s my pleasure to meet you too. Eval-san.]

[You can just call me Eva if you want. I’m just like this idiot, people who didn’t have a good upbringing. Calling me that uprightly is just making my back itchy. I’m also going to call you Kaito, too.]

[I understand…… Ah, no, got it.]

I feel that Eva has a personality much like Acht.

Hearing what I said, Eva lets out a refreshing smile, showing what being a “pleasant beauty” is.

[I wasn’t able to attend the barbecue last time…… Did my “idiot husband” do anything strange?]

[……Husband?]

[Unnn? I’m talking about Acht.]

[……Eh? Eeehhh!? A- Acht is already married!?]

[Ooiii, Kaito. Why are you that surprised…… Or rather, what were you thinking about me……]

Kuhh, what is this…… He looks like he would be completely clueless regarding love affairs, but this damned Acht, for him to be able to marry such a beautiful woman…… Riajuu, go explode…… Ah, no, that’s no good. I also have Isis-san by my side already, so I guess I’m also one of them riajuus huh…..

[N- No, I’m sorry. I heard that you were his partner, but I didn’t think you were his wife……]

[Unnn? Ah, I really didn’t mention it huh…… We’ve been married for eight hundred years now.]

[……Well, I’m still wondering why I ended up with this idiot……]

[Oi, oi, you’ve been calling me an idiot since before, aren’t you being mean……]

[……That alcohol I’ve been looked forward to drinking, who drank it again?]

[……I’m sorry.]

Yep. I’ve already figured out the power relationship between them in that short conversation…… Acht is being completely led by the nose.

Well, that shows how close they are to each other…… ah, I wasn’t able to ask him because I had to say hello to Eva first, but I guess I’ll ask him now.

[……Acht, is Neun-san not able to come?]

[Ahh….. Oi! Neun! Until when are you going to hide there!?]

[……Ehh?]

In addition to Acht and Eva, Neun-san was also supposed to come today but…… I can’t see her right from the start.

When I asked Acht about it, Acht looked backwards and called Neun-san’s name.

Thereupon…… A familiar helmet appeared from quite a distance away, or rather, from the shadow of the gate of Lilia-san’s mansion.

[……I- I can’t. M- M- My heart i- i- isn’t ready yet…… A- A- Aren’t we just supposed to meet before our m- m- marriage ceremony?]

[What the heck are you talking about? You’ve been talking about strange stuff since before….. Hey, just come already.]

[Aaahhh!? Please let go of me, Eva-sama!? P- P- Premarital relationships here are no good! I hate to stay chaste until I’m married! H- H- However, if K- K- Kaito-san w- w- wishes for it, I’m not sure I can say no to him!]

[No, you’re making too big of a leap there……]

Eva-san drags Neun-san, who has been hiding behind the gate and hasn’t come towards us at all, while letting out a sigh.

Even while she was being dragged, Neun-san was still saying incomprehensible things.

[……Hey, Acht. Could it be that Neun-san isn’t feeling well?]

[……Are you…… for real?]

[Eh?]

[……Kaito, knowing your worth is important, you know……]

[……Eh?]

For some reason, Acht looks dumbfounded and patted me on my shoulder…… What is this? Also, what does Neun-san mean earlier? She wouldn’t be able to say no if I asked him something?
