Chapter 3 A paradise that even resembled a distant, old dream

The next day

shi+zuno was enjoying acoffee on the terrace of her older brother’s ether with that, she was having a friendly conversation

She entrusted her body on the back of the comfortable chair and while she sometimes inclined the cup towards her, she put the smartphone on her ear in a refined ela?』

What she was using wasn’t japanese, but English It was on equal levels to a native person, due to the fruits of Urushi+bara family’s strict discipline

『Don’t ry voice was heard froizedon good terms at all

The naela Johnson

Nicknamed “AJ”

She was abeautiful woht arm of Sir Edward

『However, I never expected that a beautiful person like you would use a violent speech of that level? I think that’s disrespectful even if I’m not Moroha』

『If you don’t put and en to this, I’ll beat you to death, you know!?』

『What are you so angry about? May I have an explanation of what I’ overboard?』

『If I don’t explain it, then you bitch won’t understand it!?』

『That’s right Since you’re very hard to please, it’s rather difficult to be guessed in the heart of a young girl like me, you know?』

『Okay then, I’ll tell you…』

AJ said with a crush-to-death voice as if thirst for blood reached her fro here, you idiot…』

『Oh, I’ot about the tiized

The other party on the phone couldn’t see the sed there, and even if she could see it, nobody would understand its ht now! Vo but a voice full of deeply held resentered AJ returned

shi+zuno placed the smartphone away fro the aro fully the sweetness of the milk and the bittersweet of the coffee in herI want to ask you』

She put the s like a spoiled child

『Shut up! In the first place, why are you always calling me 24/7!?』

AJ shouted at her, co sad? Moroha also often co」 Then like fellow assistants, why don’t we get along ith each other?』

『I’ll end the phone call right now, throw you into the trash can and end your career!』

『That’s cruel, how can you say that? Aren’t we friends?』

『When did you bastard and I become friends!?』

『Maybe when I presented you the dress you hen you had a dinner with “Sir” Edward?』

On the other end of the phone, there was a sign that the other party gasped powerfully

『For howadvice to the worried you because Sir Edent to a new pub guided by a kanbanirl who attracts customers to come inside a shop

On the other end of the phone, there was a sign that the other party made her mouth open and close repeatedly

『Moreover, didn’t you even hire a detective using the influence of the Urushi+bara fa to say how much Europe has erected the foundation in its oay, is it?』

On the other side of the phone, there was a sign that the other party raised both hands

『Say, Angela? You’re not going to abandon your friends, yes?』

『………………………the hell you want?』

『Aren’t you happy that there’s a person that think of you as a friend? There’s a s I want to ask about, you see──』

shi+zuno raised the cup and started talking while toasting for the pure friendshi+p of the two

First was the sudden arrival of a foreign student from Russia

Next, a detailed information of Leshya based on what shi+zuno saw and noticed directly

And then, if AJ happened to know anything

『You said that her age is fifteen years old or so, she has silver hair that resembles steel and is a beautiful woman?』

AJ confirmed with a clear and yet fully tensed voice

shi+zuno also had her eyes tinged with seriousness

She raised her body from the back of the chair and corrected her seated posture

『Yes, that’s correct Do you have an idea of who she is?』

『That girl, she ht be “man-eater”』

This time, it was shi+zuno who had her breath taken away

Cold sweat slowly slipped off along her spine

『”Man-eater”? The one… that rivals the one called “Invisible?”』

What finally caue rather than a question

Disinally, they are part of a group of Saviors that murders Saviorsthat shouldn’t exist You knew that Russia was raising theht?』

『That’s… correct Wait a second, you’re telling ? That “Man-eater” is the tru Empress? But then why did she sent her froood person, that worthless guy, cut the tru ill huh a bitter experience by Moroha rettable for her tohis ability

『Well… it’s as you say It’s very true when I say that I don’t want to believe it, but I should definitely assume so』

『Yes At least the physical appearance of “Man-eater” and the one of the foreign student are consistent The other thing is──』

『──You should take into account the possibility that Elensan is a decoy and that the real thing is hiding somewhere』

『Hmm It seems that your head could finally settle, huh』

Certainly, she was able to recover fro, can you tell me all that you know about “Man-eater”?』

『I would like to talk if I had my master’s permission… but there is not』

『Not that Moroha is Sir Edward’s favorite?』

When shi+zuno regained her beat ti tongue of AJ

『Fine It’s also ridiculous to troubleI’ll tell you──however, e?』

『What would that be?』

shi+zuno got cautious, she put herself on guard

『It’s nothing that great Don’t call ain Deal?』

『I see, that’s what it was』

shi+zuno threw an interjection with an ad attention

『Got it? It’s regrettable, but you can’t solve a proble soreed to it after that

AJ, who showed impulsivity and frankness since the first tiue loosened as if to get her satisfied

All the stories she heard from her were series of surprises, but this time she had prepared herself beforehand, so she wouldn’t be shaken up shi+zuno silently listened and recorded everything in her mental notepad

『I think that a well-behaved person like you know this already, but don’t spread anything, alright?』

『Of course Thank you, Angela See you later』

shi+zuno gave her thanks with an obedient tone and hung up

She did a heavy sigh, closed her eyes and meditated for a while

She unconsciously played with the unruly hair that usually stood alone and paid undue aanized in herinformation of “Man-eater” she learned from AJ and explored for a means to make the best use of that information

It would take time, but that was fine She had to do it

And then, when she succeed in drawing a conclusion

She sighed deeply one more time, opened her eyes and turned her eyes to her back

– How long have you been there, Nii-san?

Next to the terrace table, there was the figure of her older brother Tadanori who gulped coffee as if he was drowning his cares in it and with a face like he was chewing a bug

– You were having an enjoyable-looking talk with someone, weren’t you?

Her older brother said, irritated, as the servant was made to pour who kno many coffees already

– With a friend that is a bit far away, perhaps?

– Aren’t you supposed to talk about love and how to get closer to your lover?

Her older brother spoke with sarcas the freshly poured coffee

shi+zuno thought that he soion of his stomach but not because of stress, but because he drank tooDo you know that Haiirl today?

– Ara? Even though I’rumpy?

shi+zuno said nonchalantly as if she had realized the reason just now

This person obsessed with political poas this kind of desperate, he couldn’t help but wanting to make shi+zuno and Moroha who becaed as soon as possible

– Aren’t you worried!?

– No, not at all

Moreover, and related to that, it wasn’t a bluff or anything of the sort shi+zuno tried the cup with elegance

She abstained fro the date because she had to study, and Satsuki was there, but it was a complete lie

– Because I don’t think that Elensan can persuade Moroha that easily, and also won’t this incite Ranjou-san to not lose? She will certainly coainst Elensan, don’t you think? Also, when thelike a quarrel of love, he’s the type that ends up drawing back Frankly speaking, today’s date is going to be a failure, isn’t it?

– Hou… a sound arguument Even you have competed with each other with jealousy laid bare, but if they’re disgraceful woet Haimurkun annoyed

Her older brother left, the reason was that he could understand the tactic of his younger sister

He was a sharp man If one explained the reason properly, he would understand everything fro h what Leshya was thinking and why she wanted a date, however she wasn’t going to attack Moroha all of a sudden Orto do that, she wouldn’t be having a date leisurely or studying abroad, if it was appearing a certain day without warning and stabbing him abruptly, then that should do it

The absolute success rate of it should be higher rather than doing it after showing herself up andhim cautious about her It was evident that Russia had some sort of motives that wanted to attack him carefully

However, in addition to that, it wasn’t about attacking hi him「sooner or later」

shi+zuno was convinced, even if Moroha didn’t try to suspect Leshya

She wanted to carry out preparations for thatthat she could do For Moroha

– There’s so I want Nii-san to cooperate with Can I have your help?

– Then this will becoht?

shi+zuno deeply shrugged her shoulders because of thetypical of her older brother and assented generously

Anyway When she disclosed the plan she was able to derive not long ago, he clung to it iht nicely about her older brother, not even once, quickly thought that he would be useful for Moroha She smiled wryly in her heart; for her, to do such a self-interested thing, it meant that affinity welled up even to such older brother a little

They arranged to meet in front of the station at 11:00

Moroha alking from the dormitories, he was about to arrive at an adequate hour

During his walk, he answered the phone that began tohis feet

『I can’t join the date…』

It was Satsuki who burst into tears abruptly

– Did so it was a bit unexpected

If it was the everyday Satsuki, then she would definitely come even if spears fell out of the sky

『I was requested by Sophie-senpai for urgent help via phone just now』

Sniff sniff, Satsuki kept weeping

『Did you know that Senpai sooes to the church to worshi+p? So, she went there this , but when she arrived there, it seems that a Sister had broken her dominant arm yesterday and looked very troubled The church there seems to do soup kitchen after the worshi+p every Sunday, but the Sister wasn’t able to do that, she said that help with enough cooking ability was needed urgently…』

– So itmany people?

Moroha, who knew that Satsuki’s hidden cooking skills were high, understood so

『I’ forward to have a date withforward to it too But I can’t leave the troubled Sophie-senpai alone』

Satsuki cried on the telephone

Moroha chars towards Senpai, I guess I like that?

『Fueh?』

Satsuki raised a voice in disarray and stopped crying in an instant

『Y-you really mean tha〜〜〜t?』

Then, a bashful indication was transmitted from the other side of the phone

– Yeah, I ht but the feelings loaded in them weren’t

-『E-ehehe, then I’ll do my best to help her!』

– Yeah If it’s a date, we can always do it again, I’ll especially not run away from it

『Y-yup! See you later, ehehehe』

Satsuki ended the call while laughing shyly

Moroha tried to put back the cell phone――and started ringing again

– hello? Satsuki?

『I forgot to mention!!』

The loud voice that was raised with dreadful energy felt like an impact that pierced the tympanic membrane Moroha involuntarily frowned

– What did you forget?

『Even if it’s just you and Leshya, you can’t do strange things and hide them from me!』

– You don’t trust me…

Moroha was sad

– There’s no reason for me to act like that, you know? We’ll just have normal fun, then I’ll just show her around the town

『Is that true〜〜〜? I’ressive!』

– That’s fine, I’ with her, he thought of wanting to be friends with her, but any

Many friends froirlfriend at least!』as their favorite phrase, but the fact was that they really didn’t want one It was a way of having fun between friends, the funny lot He ended up understanding that uess that’s fine, but There’s the curfew of our doro moderately!』

– Sir yes sir, you do your best

『Yup! Well, see you tomorrow at school』

This time he ended the call and put back the cell phone

While he was talking, he arrived at the north exit of the station which was the ure of Leshya wasn’t there yet Moroha killed ti at the crowded streets

This was the shopping district area, the appearances of young people that dropped in with their friends and lovers stood out; it was inevitable since today was SundayThere weren’t tooforward to it

Even if the others were strangers, Moroha liked to see the s faces of the people

His father, a cook and his mother, a server, were that kind of people

He undoubtedly inherited that fro to be able to feel the connection with his parents who died in such casual event

– Well… it’s 11:00 AM now huh

Moroha muttered as he checked the ti to call Leshya who didn’t co could happen, they exchanged their telephone nu ho for the naht there,

– I have kept you waiting, Haimura Moroha

He heard the natural voice of the person in question

Then again Although his awareness was going to the manipulation of his cell phone, he couldn’t sense the approach of Leshya

– The people are at fault

He knew she had erased her presence and that her stealthy steps were skilled, but he wanted her to not use them in her everyday life

Moroha raised his face froh──

He shi+fted his attention to Leshya’s direction──

– Eh, What’s with that appearance!?

He co her sharply

– Is there so with my appearance?

Leshya had the nable

Since she didn’t understand theof Moroha’s attack, she only extended her hand above her head and touched the cat ears there were there

– Because those are strange

Moroha pointed at the cat ears with all his strength

There was a huge cat ears headband put on the head of Leshya

It wasn’t because she attracted the attention But because it had a bad

– What is that? japanese use way too much demonstrative pronouns Sometimes I am unable to understand them

– Cat ears!

Moroha was shocked, he didn’t knohat to say

The hand of Leshya that was interfering with the product suddenly stopped

As if it hardened

When he looked closely at her, her whole body was tre with short and repeated … a bit of… discoht, this appearance is a bit weird… from the perspective of the japanese, yes?

– I’ frankly

When he looked closely at her, in addition to the cat ears, the frilly dress that wanted to take her age a bit more into consideration and the evident handmade ribbons attached in some way on the clothes were colorfully decorated, and while certainly there was a thing called freedoarments in japan, if one had the intention to hat one wanted to wear no matter what, nobody could deny one that, but if possible… could you read the situation or rather, the place a bit y (Oh, I said it) fashi+on like that

The only thing that didn’t float was the black ge all the day yesterday

– Is that so…? Like I thought…

Leshya’s face becaloomy

She made her eyes cast doard, and slowly turned them away to a different side

And, she murmured

– I’m depressed… I want to d…

With a tensed tone of voice to the point it was not a laughing matter

– Hold on

The flustered one was Moroha

This was the case when he rejected her sudden confession yesterday, but he could feel that the wanting-to-die declaration of Leshya was soely anxious, and so that was true

– Certainly! Wait! I also have praises for you! But (If we don’t care about the eyes around us) you’re definitely cute (If you do so about that stern look) then it really suits you

Moroha drew near her side, gently grabbed her are her with utmost effort

There were a lot of ( ), but no lies where there Not in the least

– … your sympathy, I don’t need it

– No, it’s true! You’re so cute thatThis is true!

It had been a while since he had made such a loud voice

Was the enthusiaslanced at him,

– In that case, then I ainal h she just returned fro even at the neck at any moment now」to「A stern expression that said “What are you so serious about?”」, Moroha couldn’t feel at ease from the bottom of his heart

– I’ your little brother behind, right?

– You remembered it?

That stern look relaxed for the first time

Leshya turned surprised eyes That was a little cute

– That was impressive

Because it was immediately after he was told she would die and die Moroha scratched his head

– Aanyways, I’uy who has someone that can attain balance with such clothes, so it would be helpful if you come with your very usual appearance from next time Even uniforize I neglected the consideration about the person I am in love with

– Well, well

Moroha cal while spilling cold sweat

– Aren’t you hungry? Shouldn’t we go and have lunch somewhere?

He proposed to stop the conversation as it was

Leshya assented in silence――however, she got suddenly taken aback,

– Did I ended up keeping you waiting, Haian to say at this late hour what one would norhtlessly forgot about it, like she remembered the stipulated password in panic

– No, not really

Moroha replied adequately while strangely wondering about it

Then, Leshya caused her staring eyes to be bri that had the appearance of bloodlust,

– That is a relief But, I am sorry I couldn’t wear irl

– Huh…?

– I airl

– …………

He didn’t kno to react

He didn’t knohether it was a Russian joke or not

When he got stiffened while appearing to have his eyes wide, Leshya also got suspicious,

– Do you hate cluirls?

– Rather than that, this is the first ti an ordinary conversation

When he answered frankly, Leshya began to treain

– I am depressed I want to d――

– Whoa, wait

Moroha tried to cal both hands of Leshya

– Let me ask you this, where on earth did you learn the ter was formal, her japanese was quite proficient, it shouldn’t be strange to know it, but still

– I learned it fro irls” At the dates, the woman is purposely delayed, and it would be effective to use words like the ones used just now

– I wonder, who is the guy that blew such a false rumor into you…?

– I must say that my information source is reliable It is a japanese site You can see that the level of such credibility comes from an unbelievable number of users every day

– Hey, what’s the name of that site…?

– That site is named『5ch』

– I knew it

Moroha was troubled because Leshya said deadly serious the naest anonymous internet bulletin board

In fact, Moroha was able to start surfing on the net after he was in high school, but it didn’t take him much time to find his way to「5ch」

He was puzzled at first There werethe posts Really too many There were so many slanders that would ood use for it However, as Leshya said, there was a large number of users

Moroha immediately inquired shi+zuno aka his co a s to her:「This site is eitheron how you use it, but certainly I can’t recoinners If you’re a person that don’t see through flattery and lies, then you must absolutely not use it But I also use it fro of not using a knife because it’s dangerous, you get me? Be a ROMつ for half a year as a test」

TN: ROMつ = Lurker on a foru into that cavern of malice, huh…

She continued deadly serious

-『5ch』is wonderful As soon as I created a thread titled『I would like to have a date with my loved ave me advice in the blink of an eye The fact that japanese people are kind is well known in Russia, but they gave me a deep impression for sure, so I just wrote words of thanks to all those people More kind people ca them, the numbers of threads swelled up, I was able to receive useful advices

– Such a skills… I mean, weren’t you lured in? Rather, weren’t you trolled?

Moroha endured the headache

– Then you followed that “cat ears advice”?

He asked with an evenvoice

– Almost every japanese boy told me that he would like『A headband shaped like cat ears』and『Toddler-like garments』 And『The more ribbons you wear, more effective they’ll be』 This headband alet, but in reality it orth it because you liked it I want to thank theuys of 5ch

– Don’t tell me that yesterday’s love letter too?

– Of course I was taught about it when I set up another thread It is an essential custo

It didn’t teach a good thing That 5ch

– Got it I understood everything… anyway, do we go somewhere? Let’s have soht the matter to a finish

He followed the motto of his PC teacher and didn’t say that he won’t look into it anymore

Leshya assented in silence and this ti

As soon as that happened――

Sudden movement! Leshya linked their ar a criminal to the police… the exactly opposite of the very natural way like the one of a pair of lovers

Moroha got nervous in the differentof the word

Not only that, Leshya was the owner of an abundant chest, as it should be expected of a Caucasian When she walked with that appearance, Boing, Boing, her breasts were pushed against hihtof the word

It was impossible for his heart to not race

And, the eyes of his surroundings were painful

They were seen by pairs of lovers The boyfriend was a bad couple for ot nervous in the displeasedof the word

(Shouldn’t alk a bit more separated?)

He couldn’t say that

The eyes of Leshya that were turned straight ahead were extremely serious

Like a soldier ent to the battlefield with a heroic resolution

It wasn’t an at to her

(Well, it’s not a big deal to being pointed at our backs, is it?)

Moroha resigned with one sigh

It was transmitted from the linked arms that Leshya was also nervous

Maybe she wasn’t used to walking and linking arms with a man

Moroha decided to settle this in hisis fine forit to me? Then, ill it be?

He wanted to soothe the tension of the other party, so he kept deliberately talking to her amiably

However, even when it was a date that didn’t seem to follow the ordinary methods, it was a win if they enjoyed it the way it was
