Chapter 7 (1/2)

Chapter 7: Does it match?

Takashi+ looked excited as he listened to Yasutaka’s story, but his expressions didn’t take long to change from one of excitement to perplexity and then surprise

「An e, elf girl…… from a parallel world to your house……?」

「Yeah, that’s ht she was an alien, but according to Aoi, she’s from an elf tribe and works as an adventurer in the parallel world」

As he was explaining to Takashi+, although a bit late, Yasutaka wondered 「What does an adventurer do, exactly?」

Meanwhile, before he knew it, Takashi+ had a dreary air about hi

「O, oi, Takashi+……? W, rong……?」

When Yasutaka, orried about Takashi+’s strange state, called out to him, Takashi+ looked at him sharply

「MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARVELOUS[1]!!」

「Ta, Takashi+……?」

「Parallel world! Adventurer! Elf! Beautiful girl! Magnificent!! Hoonderful…… Well done getting involved, Yasutaka!! To have such a wonderful close friend, right now, I’m deeply moved!!」

Standing up, Takashi+ roared Even as the he was looked at strangely by the surrounding people, he was too excited to be bothered by it

「O, oi, Takashi+!! First of all, settle down! And take a seat! People are looking……!! 」

Having been admonished by Yasutaka, Takashi+ finally composed himself and sat down

「Ah, my bad I was so shocked that I lost myself there」

「You really like fantasy with swords and ic, huh……」

「Yeah!! Fantasy is my favourite!!」

Takashi+ clenched both his fists and had illusionary hellfire behind him as he declared it

Right Just as he himself had declared, Takashi+ is an extreme fantasy otaku

Tall, good looking, and is physically fit, Takashi+ has everything going for hiirls in school

The reason is, of course, because he is an extreme fantasy otaku However, the person himself doesn’t seem to care as he doesn’t particularly try to hide it

「S, so then, where is the elf girl now……?」

「She’s buying stuff like clothes with Aoi, and will soon be here……」

And when Yasutaka said so, he and Takashi+ heard a faotten used to since they were kids

「Ara? Takashi+? Why is Takashi+ here?」

「Fufufufufu It’s been decided! To call each other, it doesn’t matter how far apart Yasutaka and I are because we are bound together by the eternal bond called love!」

With his teeth sparkling unnecessarily, Takashi+ declared such elegant words to Yasutaka and Aoi

「Quit it I’ll get mad I don’t have that kind of hobby」 (Aoi)

「I also want you to stop It’s so disgusting」 (Yasutaka)

「What a coincidence, Yasutaka The truth is, I’usted」 (Takashi+)

After a short while, the three looked at each other and laughed

With a puzzled expression, Eru atching the three intently, but they didn’t notice for quite a while

✧

「It’s nice to ino Takashi+ I am pleased to make your acquaintance」

Takashi+, who stood up, elegantly bowed to Eru

「My, your clothes really suit you Since you’re beautiful, anything you ould suit you Right, Yasutaka?」

「Ah, yeah, un I also think it suits you As I thought, it’s great that Aoi was the one to choose I wouldn’t be able to do this」

Right now, Eru is wearing an ivory-coloured inlay border parka over a pink halter camisole hite polka dots, and salmon pink culottes pants

On her feet are ankle socks and pastel yellow sneakers, which caused Eru’s bare white legs to dazzle

And on her head, their first purchase, a light green knitted hat with pink stars scattered here and there Additionally, the knitted hat is an exceptional product that has ear flaps, like the ones from old aviation hats, so Eru’s ears are completely hidden

「Dira kerasu Āio-shi+」

「Eh? What? What did she say?」

Because Aoi is wearing the translation earring, Yasutaka and Takashi+ don’t understand Eru’s words Therefore, Aoi interprets Eru’s words

「Thank you for the complement, she says」

「A, aic item!! Lend it to me for a bit!!」

To pacify the excited Takashi+, with Eru’s per to him

Still excited, Takashi+ repeatedly looked over the earring before wearing it

As soon as he did, he could clearly understand Eru’s words which he couldn’t till then

「Pleased to meet you, Takeshi+-san I am called Erulala Zaphyra Fyrasilula Please call me Eru if it’s too hard to say」

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!」

Suddenly standing up, Takashi+ roared while doing a guts pose

Naturally, eyes gathered fro withoutthem

「THIS IS A REAL MAGIC ITEM!! R, right now I aic!! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARVELOUS!!」

「Sure, it’s marvelous!! So calm down already!!」(Yasutaka)

「That’s right!! If this continues, they’ll think we’re the same as you!!」(Aoi)

Yasutaka and Aoi were pulling on Takashi+’s clothes, trying desperately to make him sit down

It was effective, Takashi+ finally regained his composure and settled down

Although, his breathing was still rough

「Haa, haa, haa, haa, haa…… Maaan, I’irl is the best!! Eru-chan! Forwith you is the best present from God!!」

Once again, with his teeth sparkling unnecessarily, Takashi+ s ruined the refreshi+ng-ness

「Okaaay!! Since toht for Eru-chan’s welcome party!!」

「Ara, that sounds nice Then…… Will it be fine to do it at Yasutaka’s house? If it’s at my house, my brother……」

「My house and faer sister are there Is it okay, Yasutaka?」

「Yeah There’s nobody at et carried away and cause a ruckus late at night, alright?」

After that, they bought light snacks and drinks, thenlittle by little

Partway through,

「W, what is this bright green drink…… Could this be so on top……?」

「This is called e in this world That thing on top is a sweet called ice cream」

「Me, melon soda with ice cream……」

As Aoi explained, Eru inquisitively stared at theeyes Her level of curiosity towards the unknown, is it because she’s an adventurer?

Eru stared at the melon soda for a while, but eventually she readied herself and touched the straith her cherry blosso in the melon soda

As soon as she did, Eru’s already large eyes widened even more

「W, what is thi…… goho!! goho!! In, the inside of my mouth feels bubbly…… keho!![2]」

Having drunk a carbonated beverage for the first tihed violently

Looking at Eru, Aoi and Takashi+ had some really pleased smiles

「Niiiice, that reaction Thank you for that promise[3]!」 (Aoi)

「 Un un That was a splendid reaction Eru-chan, good job!!」(Takashi+)

「No, this level of bullying, it’s normally called a bad prank……」(Yasutaka)

Yasutaka stared at the tere watching as Eru had beco fit, while he rubbed Eru’s back

✧

After buying a few , and daily necessities for Eru, Yasutaka and the group started to discuss whether to leave I-ON soon

「There’s nothing left that we forgot to buy, right?」

「Yeah, I think we’re good now If there’s sohbourhood」

「Then up next is, the necessary foodstuff for Eru’s welcoht」

After depositing the shopping bags into a free coin locker, they headed to the grocery store

Suddenly, Eru called out to the others
