Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.

I feel kindness in the warmth of the wood stove.

Millions of years have passed since humans started working with fire and cooking meat in wood fires.Relieving may be an instinct cultivated in the course of a long history that lasted alongside the fire.

But when it comes to hairy cats, it's hard to burn.

From time to time, the powder of fire exploded, and Mui, who was still standing, turned her eyes towards the stove, shining like glass balls.

The fire is beyond the heat-resistant glass, and there is a fire with firewood, and there is a sleeping place.Knowing he was safe, he yawned.

"Oh, you can still sleep."

and a very gentle voice sounded from above her head.Po-po-po-po-po-po, the breath hits my ears, it's a tickling but gentle voice.

It was her fingers that stroked her forehead, and Muy feels a little nostalgic.It reminds me of what my grandfather did to me a long time ago.

Sweetheart. Fufu, you're cute.

She strokes the neck and the tip of her chin as she says "pepper".I twisted my body indefatigably and bit my finger in front of me.

I don't usually do such sweet things, but I was completely relieved by the voice I was used to hearing.

Well, who is this man?

I thought so, but Muy slowly opened his eyes.

Oh, I'm awake. I'm awake.

It was still the young elves who were reflected in the blurry vision.

"Welcome," she says, with her jewel-like purple eyes narrowed.She was then lifted by her extended hand and naturally placed on her lap.

I wonder if Mariabelle would want to invite anyone to look behind her.When he looked up, the young man appeared and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sleeping more than I am."He stretched out his hand as he approached and stroked his forehead.

I wake up quickly. The young man had a familiar smell, and his drowsy voice was remembered as well.

"...... Master Kazuhiho, is it Death?"

"Nh, you're a cat.You're like an animal, aren't you? "

The fingers that stroked me to praise my splendor smelled like honey.Mui stands up, chasing his hands away, and realizes it's a completely strange place.

The expensive glass windows and buildings beyond are architectural styles I've never seen before.

Muy walks to the window, as he is guided slowly.Grasping the curtains there, he breathed out a "haa" as he looked at the buildings that seemed to grow from the ground and aim straight for the sky.

Surprised?

Muy nodded honestly to the Elves who spoke to him from behind.

"Um, how come there are so many buildings, Death?"

Because there are no monsters here, and instead, there are countless human races.

The girl said as she leaned her knees on the ground and drew her gaze closer.I couldn't believe there were no monsters, but Mariabelle was not lying when she stroked her head.

"... is that the kind of place?"

“Yeah, that's where it is. Welcome.The black cat has woken up, so if you don't take a seat soon, you'll run out of food. "

When I looked behind him, the black cat got up, stretched out, and was about to yawn.

The cat was the first creature Mui had ever seen, and while she was surprised to see her big eyes round, the cat sat at the table in a casual motion.

"Ah, Uridra is over here."Today's guest is Mui, so senpai needs to relax. "

Kitase, who was lining up the plates, said that and poked the black cat's nose.Like a fool, the cat cries, "Let's go to bed," but apparently has no intention of defying it.I walked on the table with Toto.

Kitase calls out as he removes the apron.

His voice is always modest, and he often follows when he notices that he doesn't feel compelled.When Mui pulled down the chair and sat down, Mariabelle was caught between her and Beise.

"I'm sure there's a lot of surprises, but let's start with a delicious breakfast.With honey and bread, Muy would be fine. "

“I'm fine, hi, I'm fine. Honey is a luxury product, so I hardly ever take it out of my mouth.”

"I have to rely on imports for Alilai in the sand country."Speaking of which, what happened to the beekeeper's farm? "

"It's about the second level."The bees will start working in the spring, so they'll just have to prepare the hive during the winter. ”

While answering that question, Mariabelle cuts the toast stained with honey with a knife.Juice, honey, and the sight of butter staining attracted the smile of the Elves.

It's a very simple breakfast. Cut the baked toast into a griddle and make it stained with honey and butter in a few minutes.

But then Mariabelle and Mui narrowed their eyes to the line and said, "Nhhhh!"I was going to roar.

"Nh, the honey stained with burning eyes...!"

"Death with melting sweetness...!"

Shaking a little bit of salt is a hidden flavor, but it does a good job again.It tightens the taste and enhances the rustic sweetness and butteriness.

If you enjoy the natural sweetness of the milk, and then put it in a mug, the sweetness will melt on your tongue.The two of them roared again, unbearably tasting like dew without chewing.

"Ahh, honey is a luxury after all."I've decided, and I'll give my full support to beekeeping. ”

"Haha, I'd like to say such an exaggeration... but natural honey is certainly a luxury."I think I'll give it my back. [M]Oh, by the way, it seems that Puseri-san has started investing. "

What, investment? What the hell is that?

"It looks like you're financially supporting the whole thing."The neighborhood may have been influenced by investment-loving Zalesh.The Black Roses are a favorite of the people who have hosted the Alilai refugees. I mean.... "

"Ah, a welcome party for refugees!" It's unusual for a puseri to be stretching out for a treat.I see. That's it. ”

“Yeah, if she stood out from the Black Rose family, people from Alilai would be happy to help.It would be better with financial assistance. "

Ponpon and Tempo often play catchballs of conversation.The atmosphere was such that I could see that I was enjoying the conversation in the usual way, and even if my appearance changed, it was normal.I think that's strange.

Mui doesn't know much about "no country".It seems like a country born in an ancient labyrinth, but on the first day we arrived, we were on our way to the North with these two.

That's why you don't get mixed up in the conversation and have a delicious breakfast with a black cat.I kept moving my big eyes from right to left like watching a tennis ball.

The black cat, who kept eating, glanced at me with golden eyes, as if to say, "Enough of listening."He may be a pissed-off, surprisingly kind-hearted cat.

“It's a good thing to invest.For my part, I'm passionate about bringing together Veyron, the famous armor craftsman, and Mui, an expert on magic stones. ”

Is that me, Death?

"Of course I am." Hey, Uridra, is this my bad faith? [M]Don't you know why Mui, the tiger child of Alilai, was able to visit the nameless country at this time? "

That's what Kitase says as he slices pomegranate and honey toast.At the same time, Mui convinced herself, "I see."

Kitase's behavior has been calm since before, and he says sharp things like this from time to time.I was always looking like a child, but I was convinced for some reason that it was the real thing on my side.

In response to Kitase's question, the black cat, who was the demon of the magic dragon, did not answer.On the contrary, "I'm just a cat?"I stood on the floor with an empty plate behind me.

"...... Kuro, right?"

That's what the Elves, staring with their eyes, say, and throw the rest of the bread into their mouths.Maybe because I got a little hint, I was showing a thoughtful expression while chewing.

"Recently, Uridra has only been thinking about the development of the country."I wonder if there's any reason..."But let's think about it later.First, I need to properly tell Mui about this world. "

Having said that, the girl gets up quickly.

About the world, Death?

"Yeah, there's a lot of common sense in this world, and there's a lot of things to be protected."

Do you know what that is? The Elves laugh like that.

However, for some reason, Mui had a slightly unpleasant feeling at this time.I wonder if they were looking at the Elf tribe that was closing in on me.Or perhaps Kitase's praise of the Cat's peculiar insight worked just now.

With his stomach swollen, he can no longer perform his escape as a cat.I was hugged by both arms and captured unexpectedly.

It was the black cat who walked in a light footsteps.

Go through the slightly opened door, and ride on the edge of the floating bath with water droplets that are not scared of the water at all.

The steaming bathroom echoes the sound of running water, and some elves whisper in a good mood.

As he peered into the other side, the black cat burst out with a fufuous expression.

Muy sits in a bucket and continues to bathe in hot water.However, the expression was completely lost, and it was precisely "nothingness" itself.

Apart from licking the water dripping from time to time with her tongue, Uridra felt so pleasant that she laughed in her stomach.

"Come on, don't laugh."Since you're a senior, let me show you a good example..... "

Just like when he showed up, the black cat runs away.The girl cried out, "Hey!" and never stopped for what she would definitely hear.

Instead, the young man showed up, often looking at the black cat running through his feet, and then put his hand on the bathroom door.

"Hey, how are you?"

It's going well. Mui-chan is a very nice girl, so I'll finish washing soon.

Muy becomes a wet rat, and the foamy Muy keeps fumbling without worrying about Kitase.The expression that doesn't make eye contact with anyone seems to say, "I can't talk anymore."

“I'm sorry, Mui. If you don't keep it clean, you'll get angry.”

He apologizes for stroking his forehead.

Cats are cleaner than other animals because they have a tight hair grip, but if you are a housekeeper, you have to help some people.

But even so, Mui was in the midst of a complete "nothingness" without making a slight movement.

"Hmm, I think it's okay." I looked very unhappy when I got wet over there. "

"I'm sure she'll be fine. Mui-chan is a nice girl."Hey, Mui-chan? "

The reply was a sniffle.

Noticing that he was accumulating a quiet rage, Kitase's expression of confusion and bewilderment deepened further.However, the Elf girl seemed to trust Mui, saying, "Look, I'm happy," and the exact opposite of his mood.

With such a normal bias, the girl smiles.

"Well, here's the thing." I wonder if I could get you a towel and a hairdryer.I heard that if you don't wipe it quickly, you will be disgusted. "

Apparently, I learned a simple way to bathe from the owner of the cat store earlier.Maybe it's part of it that I don't use the shower.

I twisted the faucet and hurriedly left the bathroom with Muy.While I wiped my body with the towel I had prepared, the cat did not move at all, and I never tried to match my gaze.

But the worst part for cats is the sound of this dryer.

I hate it when it stays wet, and I hate the mechanical sound of the dryer, and the cat clan is completely drowned.

While taking a hot air, Mui did not make eye contact at all, and her ears were stretched out to the side...... When she saw the so-called squid ears, Kitase looked "wow".

Probably very angry.

Yes, Kitase was aware of it, but the Elves were in a good mood and cared for it.He whispered to Muy, "I'm almost done, too."

At that time, the limit of patience had finally come to an end.

Cutting off the dryer and aiming for the other girl's attention, Mui ran away from the dressing room.

Until now, they were probably unable to react at all, and they were stunned by the momentum like arrows.

"Ah, wait, wait, Muy-chan!"Muy-chan, Muy-chan! "

I can't catch up with the mui who runs around the room endlessly, because there is a wood stove, so I can't leave them alone.

It was not good to have the window open just for ventilation.The moment my fingernails got caught and opened... "

Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!

While the girl's face turned pale, the beast child jumped out of one of the apartments.

§

I can't say that the weather is good to flatter, but Ichi and her husband didn't mind going out at all.She was dressed in warm, winter-like clothes, and her husband, Tetsu, had a younger outfit than before.

Tetsu-san, have you lost some weight?

"Ah, I want you to say it's tight."If you cut down on drinking, you'll have to be a little healthier. "

Tsukuriko smiles and narrows her eyes behind her glasses.

I don't have any particular errands to go out, and I haven't decided where to go yet.However, I think this kind of thing is also good for Kaoru.

Much more time together than before, he also prioritizes his family.The trigger was probably to go to the dream world and play together.

Tetsu laughed when Tsuko thought about it.

"There were many good fish in that lake.I want to fish again. "

"That's good! However, I want to do the same, but it doesn't bother Kitase-san much..."

Hmm, and the two had a difficult face.

I want to go to the world of dreams, but it's not something I can easily ask for.It seems that Mariabelle and Kitase recently made a promise to get married, and I want you to take care of your time alone.

I'm curious about what's going on in the third tier, but I think it's a bit of a gentleman.

“Really, I'm just curious about the new library.”

The diligent Tadako already remembers a simple common language, as well as the Elf language.I can only have a strenuous conversation, but I am very quick to learn because I have acquired language acquisition skills.Therefore, to be honest, I would definitely like to go to a library with multilingual books.

Hmm, Mr. and Mrs. Ichijo were troubled again and sighed at exactly the same time.

I can't help it, let's give up.

"Right. I'll invite you to dinner tonight, even if it's just over there..."

When I was talking to him, I heard a woman screaming from above.

At the moment she looked up, she saw an object that was falling, and she stared at it.

It looks like a cat, but it's bigger than that.I wonder what that furry creature is spinning like while drawing a parabola.

Not long after I observed it, it came blurring into my arm.

"Wow!!"

Surprised by so many things, she screams, and the baboon lies on her ass.

But it was not until now that I was surprised.Although what sits in my arm is very similar to a cat, the skeleton is much closer to that of a person.The eyes that were directed at us were big and adorable like stuffed animals.

"Huh? Huh???"

She stared alternately at the rare beast that suddenly appeared and the girl that was shattering on the veranda, and Mr. and Mrs. Ichi didn't even know what to do or what to say.

No matter how you look at it, it is Uma (unidentified organism), and if people see it, it will be a great commotion.Even though they knew that, they couldn't move a bit with their screaming faces.

"Kaoruko-san! Kaoruko-san! I'm sorry, hurry up, hurry up!!"

Due to the loud voice from above, the couple decided to go to the Kitase family in a hurry.

At the same time, Kaoru somewhere in her mind felt that the date for today's outing would be canceled.
