Volume 6 Chapter 68 (2/2)

Nove that didn't worth it for her to pay attention to thehed on Clara's ed that it wasn't so so serious that she had to express her opinion to the party's reliable ician Her hand reached to one of the piled up books──

──The next day

Aria and Sophia gathered inside a rooether with the

Nove around the bookstore in the capital, so they weren't here

「Right, then ill start the class now」

Monica was acting as a teacher

She was holding a s side by side

The word ”tsundere” ritten on the board

「The lesson today is regarding tsundere Everyone, don't think that tsundere is so easy Tsundere is extre──」

Sophia stopped that explanation of Monica

She raised her hand slightly with reservation

「Say……Monicsan」

「Sensei Call ht now」

「Se, sensei What is tsundere?」

It was an unknoord for the three of them

Monicaa cold attitude to an opposite sex who you like while so kind to theht honestly

「What's that? Isn't that just a troublesome person?」

Monica put her hand on her forehead and then she shook her head like that

「You don't get it Now listen well, the attitude of you three to chicken dickwad It can also be categorized as tsundere if you think about it」

Shannon as listening to the talk while eating sweets laughed with aunrelated to uy」

Monica snorted

「That attitude is already tsundere you know, this little girl!」

「Wait, what do you mean by that!? More importantly, aren't your attitude to us really bad?」

Monica answered with a straight face

「What about it? Then, we're continuing the lesson」

Aria as listening to the talk thought

(There was nothing to do so I tried talking to Monica by mistake but, this is troubleso to do, so they asked for explanation at Monica as using incomprehensible word like usual

Because of that it turned into a troubleso like this

Monica's lesson continued

「Tsundere, it's a double edged sword If you take a wrong step you will anger the other party and they won't notice your fondness to them at all That's why, hopeless tsundere like the three of you should stop right away」

Sophia got dejected

「Ho, hopeless tsundere? So we are hopeless」

The diligent Sophia was seriously dejected, but Shannon consoled her

「You don't need to irl is broken」

Fro Lyle as chicken dickwad even though he was her

Even so, she wasn't a bad person so they got along like this but……

「It's rude to call soenuine tsundere is Oh, nice ti to this room」

Footsteps came from the corridor

Monica see from that sound

She immediately put away the whiteboard with tsundere written on it, but it looked like it got sucked between her maid uniform and her apron

The three were always puzzled seeing how anything could be stored into that gap

Monica's own existence was too mysterious that no one asked her about it, but they were curious just ith the gap between thesound Monica replied

It was Lyle who entered

「Eh? What are you all doing together here?」

Aria shrugged

「There's nothing to do so we're playing More ih she said that, in reality it was their turn to guard their iteuard

The people of Circry House ht come to take back Shannon If it was Miranda she would be able to escape, but they orried if it was Shannon in such situation

「I' food」

Sophia tilted her head

「I heard that ould go out for dinner though? Besides, Noves like erasped the Jewel hanging on his neck

「……Well, it's for reserve I guess? I' Monica for this kind of time

But, Monica brushed up her blonde twintail, and then she took a different attitude from usual in order to put tsundere into practice

「Oh, you are calling on this Monica? Allow h──」

When she spoke until there, Lyle easily withdrew

「You don't want to come? Then, Sophisan, please help out」

Sophia nodded and stood up Then Monica clung on Lyle's leg

「Wait! Please wait! I' with chicken dickwad Don't leave irl」

Lyle shrunk back froized to Sophia and then talked to Monica

「If you want to go then say so from the start」

「That's not it I only wanted to attract chicken dickwad's attention」

Lyle was exasperated at the crying Monica Even so he took her hand and irl', he had a s ahead at the lobby, so coot out of the rooone, Monica turned around to the three

「Did you see? This is tsundere Oops, I can't waste time like this I have to hurry to where chicken dickwad is Well then everyone, sayonara~」

Monica hurriedly chased after Lyle

The three were dumbfounded

Sophia opened her mouth

「So that's tsundere How should I say it……it only looked like their usual conversation」

Shannon didn't look bothered

「Isn't it pointless to pay that anyinto thought

(……Eh? Just which one of the Monica, Lyle as pushi+ng her away at first before acting kind to her at the end even with some reluctance was the tsundere wasn't it?

She didn't speak out such doubt And then the three of them deeply talked about tsundere with excitement It was a deep talk for the three, however from the perspective of outsider it was a shallow talk without any

The conclusion that they reached was 「Tsundere is an abyss」 which was incomprehensible except for the three of theether of that conclusion to Clara who returned back

The one as the ed into such talk──

I who took along Monica in order for shopping looked at the bags that I got etable and fruits, then cheeses and other things I had purchased various ite our nuh

When I looked back, Monica was carrying a wooden box and a sack that was filled with items

From the outsider's perspective, it only looked like a e while he his

In fact it was exactly as it looked so it was troubling

「For noe'll be alright for food with this I guess?」

Monica answered while holding up the great ae

「Please don't worry I will at least secure the food for chicken dickwad nofood on site to this Monica」

This girl was really able to do anything huh

But──

「We are stocking up food because we don't want to search for food on site though Or rather, froh then?」

「Well, frankly speaking this a about the scheduled period of the subjugation In the first place, we also don't really understand how long ill have to stay there」

It was the ancestors' suggestion to stock up food

Procure that in the sense that she would gather up foods like wild animal or edible wild plants at our destination, but with our deployment this time the place for the procurement on site would be──Gioni

It was possible that the subjugation force that would be dispatched in order to protect the city would ransack the town because the food wasn't enough

We stocked up food in order to prevent that

Besides, with the Seventh's Art then it was possible to preserve fresh food

It was a really convenient Art

While I alking into a deserted alley in order to throw the foods in my hands into the Seventh's Art, I heard a fairl──an elf was sitting on the ground When I thought that I had seen her somewhere before, it was actually Evsan

My reunion with this girl who I encountered in another city was in a narrow and dirty alley while she was sitting down on the ground……it was really hard to call it areunion

「Thank you Lyle!」

Evsan continued eating while saying her thanks

The restaurant table had dishes lined up to an astonishi+ng degree Evsan as eating thery

She──Evsan was an elf who ran away from the forest where she was born and lived as a perfor to a troupe and acted by herself

Elf was a hunting people living in the forest, but at the sa curiosity and there were also a lot of elves who lived the forest and lived as a troupe of traveling perforree that people's ily attached to elf

I ation previously At that ti care of her daily need in our tent

Even I who hadn't heardher performance, so shewith energy as could be seen fro e with her various e clear to see

She cooperated with ht noas ravenously eating foods joyfully in front ofbeside ht break the iht that elf will be aravenously like this」

This girl, just what kind of ie she held about elf?

Evsan objected

「When I'e then I'll sell as much dream and fantasy as you want But, you can't fill your stomach just with that! Lyle, can I order second?」

Evsan asked for second with a sweet voice, so I looked at the table There that great amount of food had been finished up

Just howand I asked Evsan's story until the food came

「By the hy are you in the capital? Didn't you say before about going around the west region?」

「I went to do that And then I headed to the capital next, but I was unfortunate and couldn't find a troupe who can go with me When I entered alone all my money was used up」

When I asked, it seee scale town and city was fought for by roups Everyone would want to perform in a place with many people It would be difficult for someone to suddenly come and perfor without asking perot my money taken aith various excuses like venue fee or whatever The royal capital is an unpleasant place」

Monica was tilting her head

「So elf is traveling perfor and performance Well, it's natural that there is that kind of rule for perfor here? You should talk with the one in charge beforehand」

Evsan couldn't argue back

Monica continued

「Even so, a business of selling drea outside of that, you have it realistically tough As an elf you should aim to be asuch strange fantasy about elf huh?」

「Elf has an ih-handed, and also frail」

「How can elf be frail when they're living in the forest or living while traveling everywhere! I'ic but physical strength is also ih-handed! If you're picking a fight then I'll take you on!」

「What an elf who is easy to lose teht that you're a more intellectual creature, how unfortunate」

「What's with you? What're you looking for froht, Evsan resu

I asked Evsan about her plan forward

「Then, after this you will talk to the people in charge and sing so that, but in the end I couldn't pay the venue cost so I have to earn money first」

「Should I lend you money?」

「H~m, that's an attractive offer but I'll refrain froth」

While I was feeling i

「You'll persevere by yourself after sitting on the road hungrily and ended up getting treated food by chicken dickwad? Elf's sense of humor is really first class You should aiht about it, that only sounded like she was

「I, I'll repay this back properly I've also obtained new song 」

Monica snorted

「That's great But, although you seem to be very confident……we don't really have tih it's ot stolen by this kind of glutton elf instead」

「You, cut it out I'ized, Evsan seemed to be curious and stared at Monica

「Broken? What, did she get her head hit?」

「Ah, no……well, this girl is like an ancient relic She is an automatic puppet called automaton」

Evsan's eyes started to sparkle when I explained

「What's that how curious! Hey, tellso tell reat interest

「Right now I'm a bit busy so──I'll tell you next time」

「You're busy」

「Yes Actually I'ation force」

I and Monica……and also Evsan returned to the inn

「I'll participate in the hippogriff subjugation so please take care of me!」

Novem and Mirandsan ere in the lobby each showed different reaction

「Long time no see isn't it, Evsan」

「Elf……will she be useful?」

「Long tih I look like this I've been together with a troupe of travelling perforic and boon't be in the way」

Mirandsan and Evsan started arguing for some reason

Nove Evsan to join?」

「Yes She said that it's her thanks for treating her to food Other than that, she said that she want to co material and because she want to hear about what happened at Aru with curiosity would do absurd thing in their search for material or story topic

It felt like she would conored her, then in that case it would be safer for us to act together

「Elf is good walker after all It will be helpful if she is with us」

「You're right」

Evsan was still continuing her quarrel with Mirandsan It seeet on ith her

「It'll be troubling even if you co around!? I' material!」

「……Elf is really troublesome」

「What do youbut, it seeot the worst iriff subjugation force with these members but…would it be okay?
