Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.

Episode 174: This is a trip to Izu for one or two nights (3)

The days are higher and East Izu Street has become a lot more congested

But we don't care, we don't move while we stop. That should also be because the parking lot parked sideways overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is a great location for lunch.

The extent to which the window can see a short hedge. Cut cliffs arc in the direction of the car's progress, and if you open the window and turn off the engine, you can even hear the sound of the waves.

Looking back at what it would be like in a place like this, it was about time the three of them snorted at me.

"That's just it! It's bright and beautiful, and the sun's right on top, so I wouldn't mind the sun."

Mr. Elf will be delighted as he rocks his puffy legs. Though there is a great breeze, it would be better to eat while experiencing the sea.

"Um, good view then. It's not a luxury to have lunch overlooking Taihayo."

"Yeah, I'm glad you have the right place available. There's lunch in your bag, so I was wondering if Shirley would mind eating with me?

Yeah, hard to understand, but "eating together" means having her possessed and eating with us as it is.

Rarely did she look at her lunchbox and nod when she gave her face all the time. To see a bright look, he doesn't feel apart from reluctance to possess it.

And is it preparation for possession that slowly turns into a ghostly translucency? I grab my shoulder, and when I feel like I hear "excuse me," it conveys the feeling of "do."

I don't know if the heart tone of Toktok is due to the exhilaration of the sea view or because I'm looking forward to lunch again.

"So this is Marie's lunchbox, and Uridora's the bigger one over here."

Giving them lunch turns a "thank you" smile. The elves have white hair, the dragons are letting their dark hair play in the wind and with the ocean spreading behind them...... I guess it's too much to say that I'm impressed.

No, it's as beautiful as I thought it was a dream. Well, the truth is, I'm getting you from the world of dreams.

The time is just around lunch and the eastern sun will soon be directly above us.

Thanks to some reflections from the sea, the interior of the car is bright, and the elf girl sitting in the passenger's seat "I was waiting," she said, floating with joy to unwrap the blue sky.

"I'm already hungry. I'm sure it's the suspension bridge that scared you."

"Isn't it just a little bit across? You know, when you think you finally said something, you said," No, I'm home, "and it sounded like a mosquito."

"Mmo! If you're gonna say that, I'm not gonna feed you our cooperation lunch! I'm sorry to hear that. It's a masterpiece with a lot of trouble."

Pussy and Marie wrinkled between her eyebrows and Uridra said, "I'm not giving it back!" and I held my lunch back.

Yeah, well, it's true that I put a lot of effort into this, and I'm putting nearly two hours of effort into this. Probably... No, definitely the biggest lunch I've ever cooked in my life.

Why did you take so long......

Then unwrap it and open the lunch box.

Then there's the adorable character, "Ni!" and the bustling sight of me laughing awaits.

Uridra blinked several times, then opened her mouth wide.

"Nga-ha! Similar!!

"Hey, cute - eh!!

I guess I know how to laugh and get bored.

This is called a character valve, a Japanese culture called a lunch box that is intact but mimics the character.

The oval-shaped rice balls have eyes and mouths decorated with seaweed, and they welcome you with a two-handed banzai. The original motif is popular from children to adults and is so influential that Mr. Elf, who came to Japan, was so hooked up with the cartoon.

It's busy with a lovely face and round eyeballs on meatballs, quail eggs, etc. It's called lettuce that decorates the surroundings, and when you add shades of egg roasting, mini tomatoes, etc., that already loosens Mr. Elf's cheek. So much so that the expression is fitting.

"Hmm, I can't believe it! I can't believe there's such a cute lunch in the world! Yes, take it with me, please!

Wow, that's high tension.

I took all that time to make it, and I couldn't help but come to the leisure ground and see what I loved so much. When I think about it and take out my smartphone, I turn my lunch box to her with a full grin on my hand.

And Uridora looks at me, too, Ni! Show me teeth that look just like characters all the time, and the shutter sounds lightly.

Um, this is my best shot. I need to make a permanent preservation.

"Hey, it's time for you. Hmm, it looks really delicious!

…………

But the fit and the girl's movements stop.

After holding the chopsticks, peeking into the characters, and sending a few glances at us... I drop my brow butt when I look at it. The more I let it go, the more I think I'll shed my tears.

That's crazy, all those smiles have collapsed all at once.

With Uridora, I turned my gaze to the girl.

"This is not a child. It's not like you can't eat..."

It's like they're making excuses for us. He was half anticipating, but he got emotional about the character he was plenty attached to.

And eye to eye with Uridra.

Apparently, at times like this, it's my turn, and she lifts only one well-shaped eyebrow. This means "hang in there" or "I left it to you" - I think.

Though, I guess you don't have to convince me out of my mouth. If he's a very fond character, you can let him hear his voice.

"Marie, it's a character valve to love cuteness and have fun eating it. Otherwise he could be sad."

Put the chopsticks in your hand and shift the character's black eyes just slightly upwards.

Then he was like, "You're not eating? He looks up to Marie like he says." Still the elf and he stared, and the brilliance lit in his pale purple eyes.

"I wonder what he's saying?

"... delicious but you don't eat it? I'm telling you. I want you to eat it even though it's cute. How sloppy. Don't even know my mind."

Let her lips peel, and the girl giggles with the chopsticks. Then I got stuck with his expression and he showed me a grin and white teeth.

"Well, I'll have it."

Even as I got Uridora's gaze that I wouldn't do it, this is how the "I'll have it" voice sounded in the car.

Well, the meal started overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The most appealing would be the character with this stylish physique. It's decorated with seaweed like a rice balls, and when it opens with chopsticks, it seems like something quite enjoyable comes out.

"Mmm, in the tuna mayo! You know what I like!

"Yeah, I snuck in whatever you want. Though I don't know mine because they were made by Ichibana (Kazuhiro)... oh, cheeseburger!

Yes, he has an important role to play. It's all about entertaining everyone's tongue and making them smile by putting a bunch of favorites into their bodies.

The two of them glisten their eyes and eat their adorable characters.

But I can't taste Shirley's possession because it deprives me of my taste.

However, although it is tasteless and odorless, she tells me, "Yummy, yummy!" I actually enjoy it a lot because it conveys my emotions.

I'm happier than I am this year with the way my little one, though invisible, would be wearing every little bit of herself and carving wrinkles on my brow. That's why some people stick out their dishes.

"Mmm, yummy! Nice view, and it feels better than usual."

Blue sea in the blue sky. On the horizon, Izu Oshima floats, and it's a very lively lunch: a bowl of animated characters with everyone in the fantasy world.

Summer-like sunshine, but easy to spend thanks to the wind passing through the car.

"Whoa, shall we serve tea? I think Uva tea is a little bit like Alirai's tea leaves."

I got a sneak call, jellyfish. About you, Ice Spirit, he puts ice in the paper cup I gave him. And the tea leaves poured from the pot overflowed with a sweet smell like fluff and flowers.

It would be the charm of uba tea to enjoy the aroma as well as the taste.

"Ah, the smell is pretty close to Alirai's!...... Mmm! Maybe it's because of the cold. The taste is refreshing and delicious."

"Not at all, have you finally come to prefer tea to me? I wonder what kind of dragon you prefer is corrupt."

That being said, the two people who move their noses with a tingle also look like they're thinking of a far off land, Alirai. I don't know, they seem to be getting attached to each other because of the fun thoughts they have in that land.

"So, after this, is it finally a banana crocodile garden?

"Of course. It's a lot closer and it won't be long. There are many greens and animals, so I'm sure Shirley will enjoy them a lot."

The chest grows louder. This isn't mine, it's coming from a possessed girlfriend. The way I get excited like a child is ticklish and slightly causes me to twist myself.

As I photograph two people eating at that rate every now and then, putting a good smile and a piece sign in the film, my lunch is instantly empty.

It was a pleasure to say hello, and then our car was set to start moving loosely.

Um, it was a luxurious lunch, though I couldn't taste it at all.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Entering the back road from along the coast also calms down the driveway a lot.

Soon the surrounding area became mountain scenery, and it seemed to turn into a slightly lonely atmosphere due to the loss of sight of the sea.

Up the loose ramp, Marie opened the window and looked at it, "Ah!" He raised his voice. Because something like a domed botanical garden suddenly seemed to come out boiling.

Keep the winker out and the car will be sucked into the parking lot.

But I think Japan's tourist destination has changed.

The building, which is the entrance, is as plain as a public and private hall, just a little "Are you okay here? 'Cause it makes me anxious.

The parking lot hasn't changed that much either, and it's just about as much as a little southern plant grows, so I can't help thinking about it that way.

Marie pointed her index finger at this way as she got out of the car in a voyage with others.

"You've lived in Japan for 25 years and you still don't understand?

"Hmm, about Japan?

Line up next to her as she wonders about the inquiry. Then, the light purple eyes have looked up well.

"Japan's tourist destinations are the first to deceive me with their appearance. If you're caught off guard, you'll be hit by a gap between the contents."

Oh! I've tried to eat it with my hands, but when did Mr. Elf learn a lot about Japan?

And the girl's hand seeks something, shaking every bit in the universe.

She said earlier, "I don't remember when you held my hand," but she really wants me unconsciously.

If you lay your hands on it as a matter of course, you're gripped from those thin, girly fingers. He still hasn't noticed, and he looks at my face and tilts his little neck, "I wonder what it is".

"No, no, it's good. As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome."

"What the hell are you talking about? More than that, see, it's tough when it gets crowded. Let's get in early."

With such a liveliness, he begins walking to a building with a sign called the Hot River (Ahtawa) Banana Crocodile Garden.

No, I knew it was plain. This cheap building.

My chest rattled at the feeling that something fun would be waiting for me, even though I thought so.
