The Elf Is a Freeloader

Are you still surprised?

Grasping the brake lever attached to the handle, the bike slowly slows down.

"It's really interesting to have a ride called this bike. The faster you row, the quicker you run, and when you stop, just blur and grip him. It's a lot easier than riding a horse."

But I'm a little tired of climbing the hill. adding that Elle puts up a proper bicycle stand to park the bike.

When locked to her bike as taught by Yanggui, she wipes the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand while removing the black-edge glasses for the disguise.

"Phew, it's hot. This world is hot and humid."

The world where Elle was...... or the country where Elle lived did not have four seasons. There are recurring water verses and fire verses, that is, rainy seasons and dry seasons.

The rainy season is a little chilly and the dry season is a little hot. These two are repeated in the climate of the area where Elle lived. It may be said that it is easier to spend the whole year in a warm region than in Japan.

According to what I have heard from Yasushi, temperatures and landscapes vary from season to season in this country.

In spring, cherry blossoms bloom and are overflowing with pink, in summer the sky and sea glow pale, in autumn wild mountains stain red and yellow, and in winter they are covered in white and gray.

Within this, what Elle experienced was spring and summer. Neither of them showed me a brightly colored landscape, which is not in El's world. Most importantly, cherry blossoms could not be seen in person, so I just saw them in pictures and footage.

"But this heat is a bit of a break. I wouldn't even say desert zone... but it's comparable, this"

It seems to be particularly hot in the past few summers, but still seems to be cooler around his house if you let him tell you.

Because of the large number of plantations around his house, he said the wind blowing through is cooler than in an asphalt-covered city on one side.

Especially that it is also tantamount to suicide to walk during the day with the addition of the heat island phenomenon, such as the city of Nagoya, which has also been there before?

Moreover, it is surprising because there are hotter areas than its Nagoya.

Elle also sees and hears news on TV news shows, like the day after day, about where the temperature of the land there did not exceed 40 degrees or something.

I can't imagine how hot exactly the temperature is to say 40 degrees, but the landscape in the TV screen certainly looked much hotter than Nikkei City with Elle.

When I open the front door, a good smell that invites appetite as soon as possible irritates Elle's nose.

"It's just now, Mr. Yastaka"

"Welcome back."

Speaking into the house as he took off his sneakers, Yasushi replied from the back.

Usually one way or another, Elle is home and often waiting for Yasushi to come home.

Yasushi has a lot of opportunities to leave the house at school, part-time, etc., so naturally, the opposite exchange was somewhat fresh for Elle.

Up the front door and through the hallway.

I've been coming to this world for months. Completely tamed, this house had already become "home" for Elle.

As soon as the door leading to the living room is opened, cold air flows out of it.

Something called air conditioning that keeps you cool in this room is probably one of the most surprising things about this world.

Exactly a magic tool (magic item) that allows you to create a comfortable living space with one switch, no matter how hot it is.

It seems that among spiritual users like Elle, those who made a covenant with the Ice Spirit would be able to do similar things, but in fact this was impossible.

In the first place, ice spirits cannot be seen without going to a region colder than the country where El lived - a region where most of the year would be closed to snow and ice. If you serve that ice spirit in a hot place, you will quickly diminish its power and wipe it out.

For this reason, in the world of El, when it comes to how to get cool in hot weather, there is only one way to say it with a fan or swim in a river, pond, etc.

And yet with this air conditioning, it's very cool and comfortable in a closed room.

The air conditioning that overshadows El's common sense that "it's hot in a closed room" was a genuine "magic tool" for her.

"Though it's gonna be dark soon, it was hot out there, wasn't it?

Yasushi makes a good cold cup of tea for Elle. Though, I just pour the pet bottle of tea I left chilled in the fridge into a glass with ice.

When Elle receives it with a smile, she calms down on the couch and slowly savors the tea chill.

An ice-cooled tea snatches heat from inside a lit El's body.

Again, this was incredible to Elle.

Ice exists in hot weather. That's impossible because of Elle's feeling.

Indeed, some of the people living in the cold were in the business of keeping ice in ice chambers and other places to sell in hot weather.

But such ice is naturally expensive and can only be obtained by some wealthy people. In fact, until Elle came to this world, she never saw anything called real ice, even when she heard the story.

It's easy to make ice like that in your home. It is only natural that Elle should be surprised.

"Really... the world over here is full of surprises"

"Huh? Did I say something?

Yasushi, who was finishing his dinner in the kitchen, listened back in response to Elle's whining.

"Nothing."

Elle smiles and holds a glass of tea with both hands.

The pleasant cold coming from your palms and the face of your health looking at this one strangely.

Which would have been the reason she laughed?

Finishing dinner for two, eating cold watermelons, etc.

Elle told Yasushi today about the new person she met.

A friend of Yasushi and Aoi, Sawa (Sawa) Village (Mura) Love (Megumi). Ryu's sister Jing (Akira) and sister Cherry Blossom. Yasushi is also a very familiar person.

"Right. Was Sawamura and Sakura friends?"

"Yes. Both Mr. Megmi and Mr. Sakura gave me Kataidenwa's number and Azosu. But Akira..."

Crystals popped out of the living room, saying something Elle didn't quite understand. When I told Yasushi about it, he also had a troubled look on his face.

"Hmmm...... that guy, he's not a bad guy, but he's a pretty unusual guy. He's doing some work while he's going to college, but Ryu won't tell me what he knows."

Yasushi whines as he hits the watermelon.

"Well, I can get close in there."

"Right!

Elle eats watermelons just like Yasushi.

This fruit, sweet and sweet, is also a presence that surprised Elle.

First and foremost, the appearance impact was amazing. It's big, hard and green, with black stripes in it. Elle couldn't believe Russia, such as this could be eaten.

Even more surprisingly, cutting the fruit in half is brilliant inside - don't tell Elle it looked a little poisonous - it's red.

What was even more surprising was that this was a very delicious fruit with a light sweetness when I tried it.

Delicate sweetness the opposite of a delicious look. Besides, for some reason its sweetness stands out when you shake the salt, so all I can say is wonder.

That's a different world. My common sense doesn't make any sense.

Different worlds that I don't know - the many "magic" of this world. Touching those "magic" people was something Elle couldn't help but enjoy.

But the magic of this world is never unlimited either.

Air conditioning can keep you cool even on hot days, ice that you can easily make, and water supplies that will gush out infinitely if you open the plugs.

All this costs money. Elle was very surprised when she heard it.

It is understandable to Elle that he will pay a lot of money to get convenient tools. But it was something Elle couldn't think of, such as needing more money to use afterwards.

Higher quality weapons, etc., are naturally expensive. Still, once you buy it, you'll have to pay for it afterwards - it'll take a while to take care of it - but it won't.

Expensive and convenient magic equipment (magic items) Because once you get it, it doesn't cost you any more.

However, the "magic tools" in this world still cost money when you buy them.

It's only natural to pay for water, electricity and gas for what you've spent, but Elle didn't understand that initially.

It is the water that I did not particularly understand. The country where you live is rich in water and is essential for water wherever you go. It was something Elle really didn't get that he had to pay for such water.

If this is a land where water such as the desert zone is precious, it is understandable to El. In fact, Elle has also been to the desert area on the job of an adventurer, and when he saw that true water was priced higher than any namesake there, he realized that water was very precious in the land.

Nevertheless, what more is Elle going to say about it than that is common sense in this world, and I was convinced it was something like that.

However, when she was home alone, Elle sneaked to her heart to refrain from using more convenient appliances than she needed to.

Both Yasushi and his parents have already admitted to me about Elle as a family, and Elle is starting to think of the Yasushi as a family.

Still, the feeling that I am still a living place exists somewhere in Elle's mind.

And if you don't have that much distinction than being a dweller. That's what I thought. It was El.

This world of you and the world in which Elle was born and raised, the third cup of dwelling is a gentle offering.

After that, Yasushi and Elle finished bathing in turn.

As Elle pulled into her room, she set the fan timer and fell asleep in bed.

Air conditioning is also installed in this room, which was once used by Yasushi's sister. But Elle didn't feel like using it.

Air conditioning is certainly convenient, but the coolness of the wind blowing out of it can be felt unnaturally somewhere.

I can't even say that during the hottest months of the day, but if it was a night of some falling temperatures, Elle would have preferred the gentle wind of a fan of something a little raw and warm.

As Elle looks up at the ceiling, she looks back at what each day can do.

With Kaori and Yasushi, the righteous mothers, they got a cell phone that was one of the memorials.

Later, he went to the homes of close associates such as Aye and Ryu, where he also experienced new encounters.

It was a busy day of some sort, but still a fulfilling one.

To that, Elle grins softly in the dark.

At that time, a cell phone placed on the pillow played a melody announcing an incoming email.

"Ah, it's from Aoi... uh... sure... this way..."

With an unbound hand, Elle manages to open her email successfully.

"It's hot every day, and El's appearance is gone, so let's all go to the pool soon. At the corner, I bought a bathing suit last time.

After reading the text with such content, Elle tilted her neck, feeling fuzzy and doubtful.

"Pooh? What is Pu Ru...?

Elle, who doesn't know anything about the pool, replied to an invitation email from Aye while thinking about asking you tomorrow morning.
