Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.
Episode 55: Stewed Pork Horns, Mr. Elf ①
Looking out the train window, it was already abundantly twilight.
Contrary to my desire to return soon, the train is so cursory and slow that it seems to stop now.
The announcement flows late.
I hear there's a customer who dropped his luggage on the tracks at some station.
The rain keeps falling in the morning, and the windows still have water droplets.
I feel somewhat humid, but I'm fortunate that it means midday at Golden Week. I remember that the company had a relaxed atmosphere because of it.
They each enjoy the holidays with those who travel, relax and rest, and return home.
When I finish working tomorrow, I can clear up and be free. Everyone had a soft look as to whether or not they had such thoughts, and they felt a ravenous air from within the company.
As for me, I intend to travel on the Shinkansen to the northeast.
Take the Shinkansen with the elves and spend a few days in the northeastern countryside.
Just thinking so makes my chest squeal excitedly on its own. I'm very excited.
All you have to do is stop this rain...
Bullshit......
and that's when the smartphone vibrated in the suit.
Apparently, SNS incoming, and the screen shows the name "Kaoruko".
She is a married woman living in the neighborhood and a while back she was taught her plans for a suburb in the city.
Elves, and traveling with dragon men is a lot of fun and enjoys plenty of day trips to the suburbs of the city.
Drop your mouth and read the message from her.
―――
Kitase, are you interested in braised pork horns......
―――
For abrupt throws, yes? And I blink my eyes.
While exchanging messages several times, I figured it out, but apparently I made extra braised corners. My husband at City Hall was unfortunately invited to a sudden drinking party.
Stewed in horns. Oh, that's good...
I can make it in a large pot, but I need time to simmer, and then I can hardly get my hands on it. In that sense, I can't wait to want a pressure cooker or other short time appliance.
Well, what do I do about inviting you?
It's the same apartment, and of course, I'm sorry that I left it at that as a thank you for the braised corners. I just wanted to thank you for going up to your room and thinking about your travel plan, if possible.
Hmm, then type in the response.
―――
Then why don't you join us for dinner?
Marie will be delighted, and I'll make fried rice.
―――
The message came right back.
Um, women are fast typing.
―――
Really!
I'll go, I'll go, I'll interrupt with a pot!
―――
At the end there was an illustration representing joy.
It was interesting to see the exalted emotions coming from the literature as well, and when I smiled at Kusuri, I got eyes to eyes with a nearby salarier.
But braised horns and stir-fried rice. Yeah, it looks fancy tonight.
I hope the train moves after that.
Contrary to the mood, the train proceeded incredibly slowly with a no-ro.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
but......
Hey, I finally made it home.
When I opened the front door, the air felt warm somewhere and smelled different than usual.
Marie, who approached us, had a ridiculous look on her face and stood her index finger up at me in surprise.
"Well, here's the problem. What would I have done?
Yeah, you don't know what "well" is.
Nevertheless, the girl receives the bag while stirring up an aura of "praise and praise". My cheeks are going to loosen on their own to an elf with an exciting look on his face.
"Uh... laundry? Dishwashing?"
"Boo-boo. Yeah, I did both, but what I did was more of another thing. Do you understand?"
She reaches out from the girl and receives my bag.
Yeah, I wonder what.
Shiruru enters the room while removing the tie and asks how it is… nothing has changed. What makes the air so clear is strange when it comes to this rain pattern.
"The air is clear...? Oh, what's this?
I almost took off my jacket and stopped moving. [M]
To the center of the room, there was a clear liquid floating around, almost leaking a scream of "hiccups" at risk. I could see it right there, but it's like moisture drifting through a spaceship.
- Oh, I guess the water spirits you showed me in the morning.
It seems that an elf, a half fairy, can manipulate spirits, even within Tokyo. Of course, if you look at this sight, people other than me will scream.
A little closer, there was a light flock of blue fish swimming in its center. Looking back, being a spiritual user, she looks, uh, proud.
"............... the Spirit is breathing extra moisture?
"You're absolutely right. Look, I told you we'd have higher humidity next month. I was trying to do the opposite of what I was doing in different worlds during the day."
If you ask me that, she did have temperature control using vaporized heat. That one surprises me, but when I get hit in this Japan, I lose my temper.
No, on second thought, isn't this awesome?
I can't believe you can control humidity without using air conditioning - the electricity bill is very floating.
"I'm surprised, Marie. If humidity can be adjusted, summer and winter can be great."
"Hmm, you would. I really like this kind of neat management.... Oh, did you borrow the video?
I look at the bag at hand, and the girl peeps in with her light purple eyes.
I think I made a mistake because the painting on the bag belongs to the renter, but I bought this on my way home.
Um, I worried, and then I turned my bag mouth to her.
"Put your hands in this."
"Uh, uh, I guess it's not weird. Nico is sleepy..."
Oh, were you nicotine before you realized it?
She looks surprised, and the girl gets her hands on the bag.
There was something hard in the bag, and I slowly pulled the bag after confirming that I had grabbed it.
came out of the sack of sari is a beautiful colored DVD package.
An incredible creature turns its blurred eyes to this side, standing in the rain like tonight. The girl already knew that the hand-painted background had a unique atmosphere that was smudged with pictures, and that some of this was packed with lovely stories.
"This...!
I'll keep my eyes wide open and look up at this one.
"I have a special gift for a working elf."
"Huh...? Oh, to me... to me?
"Sure. You can always see it as many times as you want. I wonder if you'd be happy."
The reply was a hug to the neck muscle.
"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!" and overflowed with joy, his feet shaking about to the strength against his appearance. I rushed to hold him and support him and managed to balance him out.
"Thanks! I love watching this. I'm so glad."
"Ugh, good for you. I'm buying another one, so why don't we see it later when we're done eating?"
"Look, look, look with me!
Hey, I'm glad you're so happy.
The arms I held couldn't get them to weaken, and I got cheeky with every soft, white hair.
In the end, it was a little later to be free of the girl.
