Ruri’s side

Today, mister Setsu will depart fro the stall I received for the very first tireet me

“Ruri, I’onna leave this place today, so yeah”

Going to the toilet for a bit―――――is how it felt the way he told me and I unconsciously openedthat ti shaped object towards me

I checked the object I received while I’m confused and upon closer inspection, it is a necklace On the curiously shaped geh it I inquire about the iving to people I’ifts, is the broochalso the same as this necklace I wonder?

That makes me happy and somewhat ecstatic and ry fro away smoothly

I feel like it would be like this if I had a big brother His attitude towards me too, it’s as if he sees me as his little sister The truth is, I want hih……

When I’ teary eyed, this person would place his hands on my head Mister Setsu’s hand is warently Actually he doesn’t do it very gently at all, but I don’t resist it

“Well, you do your best with your stall okay? Once I return, I’ll help you make it prosper after all”

While saying those last words,towards the gates There were s I still want to talk about, but I will trouble hi of reluctance to part with him and watch mister Setsu’s back until he disappears

If I run this store together with him, I wonder how happy I would become For the sake of this newly made dream of mine, I must make this store prosper and overcome mister Setsu’s standards

I put inspirit and prepared to openof the store, but I will boldly open the store today in the afternoon I brace redients that was meant for tomorrow

“――――――The lot who got an accessory from me increased by a lot didn’t it……”

While I’ an accessory to Ruri, I mutter a feords

Basically, the accessories I give out contains h I call it divine protection, it’s so unique that would invalidate attacks fro attack once and it informs me when it falls into a crisis I also wanted to put in a bit , but the jewels and such used for storing theh capacity to store that much power

Currently, the ones holding this accessory are the three people who traveled together withthe continents, so I’ her sooner or later

While I’ates on the outskirts I receive a check froate (can’t have criminals and the like leave this place after all) and then I leave the town

“――――――Well, aren’t you taking your time”

When I breathe in the outside air, I’m suddenly called out

As I search for the owner of the voice, I find Levia standing at the edge of the street

“Yeah, that’s because I went to Ruri’s place It would’ve been fine if you had coether with me you know”

“It’s fine, okay? I didn’t really want to act as the third wheel between the both of you in your alone time”

My and Ruri’s time? It wasn’t a farewell scene where you have to pay thatlike that, you know……

“Well, I will be having quite soive at least this much time to her”

While saying that, Levia clings tightly to

Speaking of why Levia is accoby sea and her strength is nothing to scoff at She already intended to return to the sea, so I had no reason to not go together with her

Nevertheless, she’s quite honest today Even though she would always e tsundere display……

“Which reminds me…… you remember our promise?”

“H whatever you ask? Have you already decided?”

“ …… It’s because you properly res that you’re so sly …… you lady killer……”

I don’t know if she spoke in a voice so s with ether with those thickheaded guys?

“Err, I have decided I can ask anything, right?”

“Yeah, if it’s within my ability”

If you request outside of that I’ll tear off your scales, so please take care not to go out of range

“Itdress Desas earing wasn’t there?”

“Yeah”

It’s that dress that doesn’t suit Desas because it’s pure white Co like the black and red dress? Should I get the usual guy make it?

“That…… you see? ……I was thinking that, you know…… I also kind of want to put on that dress……”

With her voice gradually beco smaller, she unconsciously casted down her eyes at the end When she becomes honest, she beco more definite, so I pressed her further

“A sea colored dress you see…… and above the sea we could make a place with ice……”

“Oh, like that……”

“And then――――――wait, I can’t say so like that, you know!?”

Tsk, I thought I could enjoy this a bit longer…… Well in short――――――

“――――――you want to marry me”

“Uugh! Don’t just go saying that so straightforwardly!”

I easily avoid the fist of anger she launches that’s cutting through the wind like a roar towards e people would break in pieces from that

“Don’t dodge it!”

“No way”

I catch her fist and and strike her head with a chop Levia, who got struck, beca on the part she was hit at

“Ugh～～～……sigh, it’s not good, is it? Being honest seems so hard for me”

Levia is suddenly drained of her strength, pushi+ng quite soht onto my shoulders

“Isn’t it unreasonable to think you can becoain?”

“I s to you in such an ahtforay? There are also many others who yearn for you…… and it doesn’t sees would reach you, so……”

While saying so, Levia hides her face again

…… How do I say this To put it sis like you’re dishonest or you have a hot-cold personality, it only won’t get through if the other party is thickheaded…… On the other hand it’s easy to understand for me, who likes to tease people, but――――――

“――――――your feelings reached me so don’t worry, okay? If you want to marry me, just say it and I’ll respond to you properly”

Hey try saying it, try saying it――――――is what I instigate her Of course, it’s acco face

Levia, whose face is becoly red, tries to spin so teary eyed……
