Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.

A machine that makes the sound of shuuuuuuuuu.

This is the bubbling sound of steam, and the set paper cup is poured with foamy milk containing a lot of air.

They even invite the girl's curiosity when she adds the sound of a bean grinding gorilla. My chest pounded with a slight shaking of my long ears hidden in my knitted hat.

"Marie, your ears are moving, okay?

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I didn't mean to. The humans won't know, but these ears move on their own. Wonder, isn't it?

After looking at me, the girl cleverly pinches her long ears from the top of her knitted hat. Sounds like this means I'm okay, but I guess I'm in a slightly different pose.

Needless to say, the Elves are a rare species, and even more rare in this Japan. I don't care as much as my hat moved a little, but just in the daytime with so many commutes. I guess I'll explore the subtle surroundings.

"Well, when does it work?

"Um, sounds, vibrations, that's when I feel like it. Even when I'm surprised. And when it's cold, it shrinks, but I can't show it to you right now because it's a knitted hat and it's pompous."

Hmm, shrunken ears? I'd like to see it for once.

Though I wanted to turn my hat on, the girl only let go one step and roared. I don't know why, but it's weird because I think she's cute even in that way.

Marie opened her mouth as she approached her fingertips to try, and panicked and retreated because she was given a biting bare gesture.

Well, that's why this is a very normal convenience store.

The machine ahead is a coffee maker and it's very common, so it doesn't attract much interest... No, I usually do it barely, but I'm really curious because Mr. Elf is pointing his butt at me here and is taking a serious peek into it.

"That's strange. I can't keep an eye out for this kind of thing."

Without even looking back, the pounding girl shrugged.

Coffee dripped from the extraction port is carefully poured, and even the light purple eyes narrow as it becomes thin like yarn.

"Well, that's a rare sight for the Elves."

Keeping his face close next to him and saying so, he turned to his light-purple eyes. Those bright eyes are much better for me. [M]

Lipped lips when I thought so made me laugh more.

"I'm sorry I kept you to myself. Here you are, I'll show you together."

Huh? No, no, I'm not very interested... etc., but when I noticed, I was pulling my arm, and her sara hair touched my cheeks to carry the scent of a girl.

Boys are creatures that can easily seal their movements if they hold their arms and put a soft touch over their sweaters, right?

"Look, I'm grinding the beans automatically. It would be amazing. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, but the milk is fluffy and delicious. You'd be surprised."

When they whisper in a beautiful voice with their fingertips pointed at them, they even pull in the complaints they were trying to make. It's a curious voice, and I say it rubbing my arm, so I'm getting more and more excited about the cafe latte.

Well, it's drippable, and it's really cafe ole.

I can't help but say that what is called a cafe latte is made by applying pressure to a deep-fried one called an espresso formula… etc., and the big sign clearly says "cafe latte".

The sister on that sign has a bubble on her lips and a "delicious" grin, and let's not say anything wild, and let the minor suspicions fall on this chest.

After a while I said, "I can do it!," the girl said, and the soggy feeling went too far away.

Marie floats her delicious face, licking her lips with her tongue.

It has the exact same look as my sister earlier without trying to, and I dot the winker thinking that no false on the sign means this, etc.

It was the black cat sneaking out of the back seat without a sound there, and the girl enjoyed the rustic sweetness of the cafe latte in the gap she took her eyes off.

"Heh, it's delicious, that cafe latte over there. There's no car in the back. Let's go."

"Marie was a lot familiar with Japan, too, wasn't she? I was scared of cars at first."

"Could it have? Even you were familiar with the elves in seconds. Normally, you're as vigilant as I am. I know I've said this many times before, but you're not alert enough."

Pretty, but the word was added at the end, and I almost fell for it with a cafe latte about to drink.

Is it possible that I'm being treated like a child?

Sometimes people say "cute" lately. At the time she said with her mouth on the cup, "? He looked like he didn't care what he just said.

"Cute means you shouldn't tell a girl like Marie?

"Oh, yeah? Nothing. Whether they're human or male, you can tell me if that's what I thought. Uridra, drink what you put in the lid because it burns your tongue. Stay still."

and so on. It's a breeze that is busy with black cat opponents and doesn't care about insignificant expressions etc.

At that time, the scenery changed dramatically, I think, as I ran down a cloudy two-lane road.

Girl with bright hair with eyelids and tongue of a cat licking at the edge.

The air flowing from the air conditioning is warm and Marie, with her adorable kneeling, is smiling. I guess it's because Uridora, who rang nah, glittered her eyes with "yummy, here it is".

Even under the cold skies, I feel the signs of two busy people and realize that they are completely different from before. I can't say it well, but I feel the atmosphere is warm as it is by the fireplace.

"N, sweet and hey. Look, you were right about me. Even in cold weather, this cafe latte will make you very happy."

Nah, I nodded when I heard the roar of consent, raising the question, "I wonder if it's because of the cafe latte". It doesn't make a difference to be happy, and let's leave the minor doubts to this chest.

"I guess," the girl laughed hoarsely, not knowing how I felt.

The reason I was laughed at until me was because I didn't think it would be easy if I could see this smile for about 200 yen.

Well, I didn't dare invite Marie to a cold sky drive to enjoy the cafe latte, which I hate cold. The two of us who have had to shake have already achieved our purpose, but we haven't actually made a single step forward.

"But if your feet are cold at the beginning of December, it's tough. It'll get colder in the future, and it might not be enough to just get dressed indoors."

Yes, she did, and Marie nods to Kokon after showing her face only for a moment. The purpose of going out is not to have a warm drink or drive, but to solve the challenge of "how to stay warm even in the winter," as I just said.

In Japan, there are many objects that attract interest, often forgetting their purpose. It's unusual for her to be smart, but we've gotten used to it all these months, haven't we? The word "promise" is closest.

Again, I don't even care, licking the pepper and then the girl opens her lips.

"In this world, how do you keep your room warm?

"I wonder if the air conditioning we have, and gas stoves, dominate. The neighborhood is flourishing, so urban gas is available."

Step on the brake with a red light saying something like that. A good place to stop is to enjoy the creamy sweetness in this kind of free time.

Mr.Elf said this after nodding to Hmph.

"With that, does that mean the room is always warm?

"Hmm, what do you mean?

"It means the way it is. You know better too, but I don't like the cold from the bottom of my heart. Except for the eggplant if you say so... because it was really delicious when fried... well, I hate it more than spiders with lots of legs"

"More than the heat in the desert?

"I hate that one too, but I have a water spirit, so I'm fine. The Elves are too hot or cold for their bodies to be startled and shrunk. Trouble."

Ugh, yeah, that's the same for humans, and I wonder if the elves other than Marie were hunting under the cold skies very normally.

But I even forgot to make such a provocation. Because I finally know what she's trying to say.

"No way, but you mean you always want to keep your room warm when you get home from the outside or when you wake up?

"Yeah, you're right. Big right. Here's the blue light, Ichiro."

I look back in surprise. [M] Then step on the accelerator and go through the frequent intersections. It seemed like a brisk day for the north wind, and the wind was ringing outside the window.

It's another challenging request to keep the room warm at all times.

You may have to burn the heating for 24 hours, but I don't think that's what she wants. You're always a kid who cares about his living expenses, and he even hates wasting them for nothing.

"Um, it's hard, but if you say you can't do it, you can't be a good wizard, can you?

"That sort of thing. Squeeze our wisdom and be comfortable enough to be proud of. I love that room, so I want to be really comfortable in the winter."

I'm sorry for being selfish, and at the end of the day, I was apologized. Then the black cat rang, too, and she said to do something about it. No, in the case of Uridora, do you simply want to get muddy and comfortable?

Hmm, and I grip the handle.

Normally, I'd give up right away, but I'm the one who's bringing her into this world, and I have a strong desire to do something about it. Under these cold skies, I have to leave Marie in my room to go to work.

"Always warm, is it? If I could use my long-distance travel here, I'd be able to travel to warm areas."

"Hehe, then you can travel domestically all you want on a daily basis. Oh, my God. I'm sure every day we eat all our specialties."

That's the best, Uridora rings like she said, and Ha, I return it to me. If that happens, it's tough. I imagined a black cat with lustrous hairs and a purse that would squeeze, and I'm sure that would be true.

The girl looks at me like that and laughs. [M] What I always wore was a smartphone. [M]

"Hey, has Ichiro ever had a place or heating that seemed warm even in the winter? Whatever you want, make fun of it. I'll look into it."

"Right...... Aomori is the real thing about the cold, so there's a train with a stove. I'm sure that was coal. You were a tourist, and it wasn't as warm as winter."

Beyond the window is a snowy view on one side.

White enough to blink right and left.

I feel that the time spent rocked by trains is a luxury besides thoughts.

A journey with warm tea in your hands. A journey to somewhere not here. Looking back, my grandmother was laughing as she deepened her wrinkles and said that the countryside would not be a bad thing either.

"I think it's been since then. What really made me like to travel? Well, I can't imagine what kind of scenery awaits."

Because it's an automa without gear, I can afford a leisurely drink. I drank one of them and then I glanced at the side.

A year ago, I couldn't imagine her sitting next to me. People say journeying is a meaningless road trip, but after a long journey, Mariabelle, a half fairy elf tribe, has always been there for me.

"Oh, my God, you look so emotional"

"No, I thought traveling would change the scenery. And then you get warm when you eat soup or stew, right? Even so, I haven't eaten all my life..."

I mumble when a ringtone rings. [M] Looking to the side, Marie was manipulating the smartphone, and it was the wind exchanging messages with someone.

Um, when did you learn how to operate SNS? When I thought of it, the black cat was pounding with meatballs, and I saw twice what a sight it was.

"Ichiro, I want to go to the store here."

When she stops again with a red light, yes, with a full grin, the girl turns to the smartphone screen. Ha, and I looked at it, and he still exchanged messages until earlier. Besides, the icon is a picture of a black cat grinning, and I can tell at some point he made a different account than mine.

"What, is there anywhere warm and easy to spend...... oh, I see. I asked Kaoruko. Sure, Mr. and Mrs. Ichijo seem familiar with that kind of store."

Looks like a very regular coffee shop in the picture, and apparently an easy drive away. Wasn't it amazing here, Kaoruko-san?

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. You don't have to mess with people's smartphones on your own, do you?

With a warm tummy, Pempei and I were beaten with meatballs three times. What is it, I'm angry but so busy and cute? But only today, he seems to have given me a hint, and I think I'm gonna have to miss him.

Shall I leave the directions to kittens and elves who can use modern equipment?

With that in mind, we cut the handle and decided to head all the way to Setagaya. Enjoying the way the two of us play squeaky.
