Autumn Talk ①

Time changes the flow season.

This is the story of one autumn day, when the trees began to color red and yellow.

◆ ◆ ◆

"You look kind of hard, but anything bothering you?

A demon king spoke to Lisa, who was tidying dishes in the kitchen.

"Was it that much on your face?

Lisa put down the plate she had in her hand and did her hand to her face.

Even though I meant to be natural as far as she was concerned, her expression was apparently hardening without her knowing it.

"I'll talk to you, if you don't mind.

"No, nothing............... no, can I ask you something after all?

Lisa tried to shy away reflexively at first, but she seemed to put it down for a beat and then rethink it.

Anyway, I am painfully stained when it comes to stupidity carrying troubles all by myself. She knew perfectly well now that thinking and thinking on her own would not bring to mind a good idea.

Although this time the problem was slightly different from the previous sole.

"I'm worried about the path."

Lisa's troubles, a very normal high school student, were naturally very normal.

Get into school. Get a job. Few teenage boys and girls will be able to stay completely out of this hand problem.

But when I heard that, the Demon King found it a little uncomfortable.

"When it comes to the path, it's about work, right? That, but I just..."

But Lisa was supposed to inherit her parents' western restaurant.

I haven't braced that goal at all, from before I became a brave man to the present, and Lisa's family is happy to support it.

"Oh, yes, I'm going to get a job at my parents' eventually. But before that, for example, I trained in other shops and schools... and then I wanted to study something else."

But even if the final end point is set, there is not one way to get there.

Lisa's grandfather and father, for example, may also have some experience when they were younger, crossing several shops in the name of training. The familiar parents' shop is cozy, but I'm sure there are some things you can only get from leaving there once.

"So, if I were to take the exam, it would be time to put my back in, and maybe reduce my part-time work..."

Currently around the fall of my sophomore year in high school.

If you want to go to college, it's time to start getting ready, but then you have to reduce your part-time time. Namely, we need to reduce our chances of meeting the Demon King. That was a big problem for a maiden in love.

"Good luck with this one because it's okay to have a little less manpower."

I guess the Demon King tried not to make him worry.

I should have worked pretty hard, but as usual, I don't know what a maiden heart is.

"Ha... you can lie there, 'cause I wanted you to say about' I miss you less time '. The Demon King can't help but see me... it's sad, hard..."

"Ah... I miss you!? I miss you so much!

"Hehe, I'm just kidding."

Of course, that was just Lisa making fun of, not some wacko who's seriously crying or grieving.

I was relieved to learn that the Demon King was just a joke, too.

For the record, these days, Lisa has also become accustomed to the treatment of the Demon King, or even though she doesn't think it's a good idea, she has more to play with drawing on the Demon King's reactions like this.

The demon king's hasty and hesitant reaction seems kind of adorable and makes me want to stick around and get in trouble.

"It's okay."

Lisa said in a calm voice.

"It's hard to study a lot, but I don't like it."

This concern is only a positive one that Lisa herself wanted but the late.

I had a bunch of dreams and goals, and I tried to reach out to greed and a bunch of them, and that just got me a little carried away.

Lisa was feeling that her anxiety had disappeared and her temper had gushed after just a little talk with the Demon King. At this rate, I'm sure he'll be as fine as he says he is.

"But don't pack too many roots."

"Yes, because if you try too hard and break your body, you have no ex or child."

"That's right! Wait a minute."

When the demon king opened the oven at hand, he pulled out the top plate from inside.

Apparently, he was baking some kind of pie.

The fire seemed to go through reasonably well during the conversation, and the baking was just at the best time.

Butter flavors incense from crisp pie fabrics.

When the Demon King cut it apart quickly with a knife, he put a slice on a plate and offered it to Lisa.

"Yes, to reward you for your hard work"

"Are you sure you're still at work?

"So I mean taste it. Can I ask you to help me?

"Really, you can't help but taste it. Hehe, let me help you now."

As Lisa cut some of the pie with a fork, the muffled hot air rose from the yellow cross section. I just got it out of the oven, and it's still hot. She exhaled and cooled to avoid burning her tongue before carrying pie shards into her mouth.

"Hot, delicious"

I meant to be cold enough. But the pumpkin (...) cream in the pie dough seemed to retain quite a bit of heat. Even though it still seemed delicious enough not to stop me from eating it.

"Ugh, uh-huh."

Now one more sip after it cools down even more in mind.

The smooth tongue of the cream I didn't feel earlier feels really comfortable.

And the flavors of the pie confectionery make the butter a great attraction, but this time it seems to incense even stronger because it's baked.

Peeled and backed by steamed pumpkins, with sugar, raw cream and a little flavored cinnamon.

Stuff and cook the pumpkin cream made that way in pie dough.

As for the recipe, it's a simple category, but the flavor of the nourishing pumpkin combined with the buttery, crispy pie dough made it a really attractive treat.

"All I can think of is treating him like this, but don't hesitate to tell me anything I can do to help."

That's what the Demon King told Lisa, who cheeks the pie looking delicious. Even with him, he seems willing to help Lisa.

And with the words of such a demon king...... Lisa had a nasty, evil grin that only the brave men had.

"Are you sure you'll do anything for me?

"If I can do it."

Lisa just said she took the word for it.

"Yes, it's about where I got my job earlier... that's just about your job, or apart from that... see, I'm going to be permanently employed at the Demon King's in the future, right?

"Huh?"

"Well in fact, it will be after I get a job and my life is stable in the future, and I'm still quite a bit ahead of me... If I can get one promise (proposal) around here, I think I will be very motivated to work hard!

"Uh, you know, here and now?

Lisa stands up all at once without worrying about the confused Demon King.

"That, won't you promise me? You said you'd do whatever you could, right?

"I told you, that's not what I meant... right?

"Is the Demon King my thing?"

"No, no!? I like that if I say I like it or I don't like it!?"

The Demon King is in a hurry, not even like.

And Lisa, when it came to him, gave him a helping boat around where he fully enjoyed his appearance like that.

"Haha, it's a joke. Now, not yet."

"What's 'not yet'?

"Yeah," not yet. "Don't skip forever. I'll be back at work."

I was motivated by Lisa's five bodies, either because of the delicious guy or because I played with the Demon King again.
