"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Rash. But you're forcing me to take you to dinner."
I smiled back at Maki-chan and immediately called out to Lash-san. The atmosphere does not change because the hair is bouncing and it seems to be gentle.
Since Lash-san has a calm personality, you can trust Maki-chan with peace of mind.... Miko-san might have a strong stimulus.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll just let Maki force you to follow me...!"
"That's not Mr. Rash's fault." I'm always obsessed with it, too. "
"Y-you know, watch out for it, what's the role of the person in charge." So, but, I'm sorry I didn't rely on you ".
The two of them are bowing their heads together. I imagined it would be like this all the time.
"Um, I've been talking about having dinner with Set. So, what about Maki? I want to talk about a lot of things-"
"Are you sure!? Ah, uh, Mr. Rash..."
Asuka cut out the main point, Maki-chan's expression brightened up, and then immediately looked at Lash-san. It's like a teacher, like a boss.
Lash, who was gazed at, nodded at Maki-chan as she grinned.
"And of course, go. I'll soon take your place, Miko. [M] Kii, it seems that you're going out tonight."
I see, it's Miko's night out today. I don't ponder what I'm going to do, I don't think. I am still a healthy child.
"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow." I'll think a lot about it! "
"Um, yeah. I'll think about it, too." "Hey, good day to you, too."
Asuka and I greeted Rash and left the lab with Maki-chan.
I looked down at Maki-chan walking next to me. Yeah, Maki-chan's getting older, too. She's 11 years old. My eyesight is higher than when I saw it before.
It's been a while, Meg-san, Asuka-san!
"Yeah, it's been a while, Maki-chan. I'm relieved you're looking well and enjoying yourself!"
"Really! You've grown bigger, right?" Meg, I'll be unplugged in no time. "
Because it's possible, isn't it? Rather, it's definitely been pulled out in a few years, me. Damn it! That's fine! It's only natural because the races are different!
"I was talking about something difficult." I don't know, I don't know.
"Oh, is that so?" It's surprisingly easy, isn't it? "
"That's what it feels like to be a researcher already."
Maki replied quietly to Asuka's words. Yes, I agree with Asuka.
I know a bit because I was helping research on otherworldly droppings, but I can see how great Maki-chan is just because adult Rash, who has a transcendental mind, is trying to think equally.
I mean! Maki-chan's "surprisingly easy" can't be relied on!
"Ah, Set-kun, please wait." Have you finished cleaning up? "
"Yes, yes! It's okay!"
On the way, as promised, I stopped at the forge to join Seto. We all went up from the basement to the first floor, towards the dining room.
Just at the end of the workday, the cafeteria was beginning to gather. Asuka and Set-kun bring me a meal, so Maki and I decide to take a seat first.
I found a place where the four of us could sit and waited for them while I sat down with Maki-chan.
"The rice here is also very delicious. I've always eaten too much... and I'm sorry about that."
But you can't hold back, can you?
"Yes, I didn't know what to do because you guys were so spoiled at first."
I know! I know how it feels! I'm a girl and a child. Everyone is determined to take care of a lot.
Because I eat well, rest well, and do what I like, Maki-chan's skin is very shiny and her hair is shiny. You've gained weight and got a healthy body shape, and you've really made a difference.
According to the story, it seems that the seizure didn't happen now because I had to have a proper look at it in the infirmary. It seems that she had asthma. It seems that the symptoms have improved and it is really good.
I'd like to see you guys soon. Maybe a few more years. Patience, patience.
"That's why I always told Set that I was being too kind to do it!"
Looks like Seto and I got along pretty well. Rudy and Phoebe seem to have a different type of older brother. They always take care of me, but Maki sometimes takes care of me.
Ah, you can imagine that. Seto is also a craftsman, so if you concentrate, you won't be able to look around. Like each other?
But I'm really relieved. Looks like you're doing well, and I wonder if you're feeling lonely?
"If you can think of it that way, you'll both be fine." Isn't that the type who wants to do a lot of good work? "
"Of course it is! But lately, I haven't been able to move on like I thought."
But whatever you do, it's fine! It doesn't seem to go as far as that. Maki-chan is holding her arms together with a difficult look on her face.
Is that what you were talking about with Mr. Rash?
"That's right." Right now, I'm studying the causes and commonalities of otherworldly droppings..... "
When Maki started explaining, Asuka and Set returned. Seto chuckles and speaks to Maki-chan as he puts a tray of meals on the table.
"You're thinking about it again. You promised to relax your head during meals and breaks."
Oh, that's right...
I see, you used to make those rules. Certainly, if you're not aware of it, you'll always think about it and your head will be blasted. Especially these two!
Set-kun's oniichan, isn't he?
"Really! What? - I'm pretty counting on you." Let's do it, Set! "
"Eh!? No, no, no, that's not true."
When Asuka and I are talking, Seto starts to panic again. "I'm sorry. I guess people from the demon continent are really nervous about me..."
"Set, it looks like this would happen if someone with a very tidy appearance was the opponent." Even if I look at a very beautiful work, I'm very excited, so I think that the aesthetic sense is stimulated and there's nothing I can do about it. "
When I'm the opponent, Set is also an ordinary oniichan, and Maki-chan is laughing with a smile.
I see. I know how it feels to be too beautiful. I wonder if that feeling is more sensitive than people's. That's another stroke of flesh. Because there are a lot of Orthus people, especially aesthetics people.
"I-I think I'm pretty used to this..."
You can't fall down anymore!
"Maki!"
Asuka and I make eye contact when Maki-chan is teasing Set-kun.
You're getting closer than I thought.
"Fufu, I don't think there's anything to worry about."
Set-kun's nervousness eased slightly when Maki-chan was around. Thanks to this, Seto became much more normal talking to me as the four of them ate together. I wonder if my glasses were sealed.
After that, we had a pleasant meal together while reporting on the latest situation. It was very pleasant to hear from Seto and Maki-chan that "I came to the demon continent and was surprised".
On the contrary, they laughed happily when they heard from Asuka that "things were interesting on the human continent". It's good to understand the differences between cultures!
"Ah, yes! Set, Meg has something to look at, right?"
At the end of the meal, Maki clapped her hands like she remembered. When Set-kun heard that, he said, "Eh, now!?" I'm in a hurry. "What the hell is that?
It's a big deal. Why don't you take a look at it?
"Uh, uh, uh."
Even though Maki-chan pushed his back, Set-kun still couldn't step on it with his eyes open. That's fine after all! I couldn't help but worry about it, so I decided to take the lead.
"Mr. Set, why don't you tell me?" Well, unless there's a special reason, but... "
Did you hear this? Seto shakes his head vertically. Is that all right...? "Well, okay.
Then, Set-kun arranged some wooden pieces on the table from the magic bag that had been supplied. Ah, ah! This is...!
"It's an angel statue of a tree." Awesome... even though it's palm-sized, it's not as pale as the stone statues decorated in the city...! It's not getting any better!? "
"Oh, is that true!?"
As I traveled from the human continent to the demonic continent, I took out the angel statue that Set-kun gave me and lined it up next to me. Yes, I can see that it has improved tremendously without having to line up.
I just said it was the best masterpiece of the time, and I had quite a few things I had, but what I just showed you is even more amazing.
I mean, you can express yourself so much with wood carvings...!? Wrinkles in clothes, hair, step by step, I don't think it's made of wood. I don't think it'll get this far in a year.
"Ah, um, ha, I'm embarrassed, so can I collect it...?"
“No, this is what I love so much!”
"Heeeee..."
Seto stretched out his hand to the one I had, so he snatched it away and held it tight. This has already become one of my treasures.
I may be curious to see the shortcomings of the old work because I have improved, but it doesn't matter!
"This is really amazing!" Don't you think it could be an accessory to put on a chain, a bag or a belt? "
"Wow, that's good!" Set, can you do it? "
"I can, but maybe I should make it smaller if I want to use it as an accessory..."
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop!
"That's why I'm the model, right...?" That's exactly what I'm going to use as an accessory..... "
"Oh, no...?"
Ugh, stop it, Seto-kun, look at me with the eyes of a puppy that's about to be thrown away! But really! I can't allow this!
"I-If it's a design that doesn't even know I'm a model..."
Girls without models, animal motifs...! I mean, think about it. The feeling that many people are wearing themselves...!!
"Hmm, maybe it's not good for everyone to wear this?" Meg will be targeted by many people again
"Huh!? Meg, are you being targeted?!"
"Is that so?" What kind of cutie is this? It's not like the bad guys don't want it. "
No, Asuka, how to say it! But it's hard to deny it because it's not completely out of place! So you're going to reconsider making it if you don't deny it. But patience, patience. Smile vaguely, me.
"Oh, that's true..." Now, let's just give it to the Demon King and the leader..... "
No, wait for that as well?
Anyway, it seems that Seto's work has already become a rumor, and he wants it from his father and his father.
... hey! Fathers!!
