Chapter 8 (2/2)
「Why can’t it be Aoi’s house?」
When Yasutaka asked with a curious look, an extremely complicated expression rose from Aoi for just a moment then she muttered why
「……………………my brother」
「Eh? Aoi’s brother…… Takanori-san? What’s wrong with him?」
Ki to become the shopkeeper of a coffee shop, their fa 26 years old, he has a bit of an age gap with Aoi
Although he’s shorter than Yasutaka, he weighs about 30 kilos ure, but Takanori is a virtuous person that would do no harm to Eru
Just like with Aoi, Yasutaka and Takashi+ also socialize with Takanori, so they know him very well
「He’s not the kind of person ould do so been said, since Eru-chan would be with you, it’s not like he’d have the guts to do anything bad either?」
As Takashi+ had said, rather than a virtuous person, Aoi’s brother is the timid type
Yasutaka and Takashi+ couldn’t iuts to play a prank or cause mischief at all
「With regards to that, as her sister, I also agree with Takashi+ But that’s not the probleenuine elf」
A genuine elf When Aoi said that, disregarding Yasutaka, Takashi+ was completely convinced
Aoi’s brother, Takanori, is even more of a severe fantasy otaku than Takashi+ and has an abnormal obsession with elves (Elf Mania) He would becooods related to elves
What would happen if that Takanori ends up living with Eru, a real elf?
「If that brother of mine lives with a real elf, he would be moe all day and we’d lose the normality of our daily lives!! I’m sure of it!!」
As Aoi clenched her fist in ereement
「I see…… The goods Takanori-san collects…… Those were elves……」
Although Yasutaka knew of Takanori’s hobby, he only knew that they would be characters of an anioods Takanori collected were elf related Or rather, it reeked of too er that he didn’t try to find out
「So that means……」
Yasutaka and Aoi’s gaze turned to Takashi+
「U~n…… There’s an extra room in my house so there’s no probleued person there……」
「Akira-san, huh……」
Akari is Takashi+’s elder sister, and as the younger brother has said, she’s an extremely talkative person who can’t keep a secret
If Eru lived in Takashi+’s house where Akira is, it is likely that in three days, Eru’s existence would spread not just to the neighbourhood but the whole of Nisshi+n City
「……So then…… Yasutaka’s house is the only choice, after all」
Aoi spoke herthe three, the only place Eru can live in secretly was here, Yasutaka’s house
However, her cohts didn’t allow her to realize it so readily
「Alright!? Yasutaka!!」
Aoi was severely looking daggers at Yasutaka
「Just because there would only be the two of you, if you do anything weird to Eru…… I’ll kill you?」
「Y, yeah I won’t do that」
Aoi glared at the visibly frightened and nodding Yasutaka suspiciously then faced Eru
「I’ll come to this house as , you’ll ht?」
「Va……Vaーsu」
Right now, Yasutaka is the one wearing the earring so Aoi can’t understand Eru’s words But she understood that the words just noas equivalent to a 「Yes」
「It won’t happen so…… Eru, best regards」
「A, anoー, Yasutaka-san I have an opinion as to where I will be living…… or rather, where I plan to……」
At the conclusion, it seems that the person concerned, Eru, finally had some sort of proposal
Not just Yasutaka but Aoi and Takashi+ were also eagerly waiting for Eru to continue talking
「I arateful that you would receive me here, however, I would be a nuisance…… Therefore, if you could point me to a cheap inn around this area, I plan to move there」
「A, an Inn?」
「Yes, an Inn, An establishh it may not seem like it, but I am a bit experienced as an adventurer in the town of Prius Al, also, may I ask you to inform me where the Adventurer’s Guild in this town is located? If so, then I believe I can register by e, this is…… a, are? What is the matter, Yasutaka-san?」
Eru noticed that Yasutaka was looking at her in blank a such an expression
It was a ister at the adventurer’s guild and get work from there This was common sense for Eru
Meanwhile, having come to his senses, Yasutaka interpreted her words to Takashi+ and Aoi
When the two heard it, they had the sa at Eru blankly
「You see, Eru-chan……」
Just how long did the three stare blankly at Eru? Co to his senses at last, Takashi+ opened his mouth
「Yes, what is it, Takashi+-san?」
「ーーーgot none」
「None? What has none?」
「This town…… No, this world’s got no adventurer’s guild Of course, there’s no jobs or systems for adventurers too」
「Eh……? Th, there’s no…… adventurer’s guild……? And no adventurers either……?」
In this world, there are those who call themselves adventurers but it’s entirely different from what Eru calls adventurers
After hearing Takashi+’s explanation, it was Eru’s turn to look dumbfounded
With Eru’s co town to not have an adventurer’s guild But with no adventurers in this world, it’s logical that there would be no adventurer’s guild
「That’s how it is, so…… Eru-chan, what are you gonna do now?」
Takashi+ asked with a teasing smile
Eru as du at the three in turns
And then,
「……Yasutaka-san, thank you for taking care of me at your house……」
She faced Yasutaka and bowed deeply, and then the three laughed and once again welcomed Eru
And so,
An elf girl who lost her way from a parallel world, came to live at the Akatsuka residence in Nisshi+n City, Aichi Prefecture as a freeloader
