Oh, Uzuki-chan, it's been a while. You're still so handsome, aren't you? Is that a letter from Gunma?　Annihilate a bunch of demons?　If that's the case, I got a call from the stationed Knights yesterday, right?

Oh, is that right?

　When we arrived at Kochon village, we went to the village chief to give him the letter.

I guess it's a misunderstanding. Well, two trips are better than no contact!　Um, what what...hmmm...hmmm...hmmm...I see.

　The head of the village of Kochon read the letter and nodded to himself.

　I turned to him and saw that he had finished reading the letter.
By the way, is that the hottie next to you?　Is that your girlfriend?　Does that mean spring has finally arrived for Uzuki-chan?
　He asked with a grin.

'I, no, no, this is Mr. Seya my name is Manashilo Seya, and he saved my life in many ways.

Yeah, you did. It also said in your letter that you single-handedly killed over 100 demons and killed every single one of them?
Yeah, I'm pretty good at that.

Haha, confidence is a good thing. That's the kind of energy a young man should have. If I ever need help, I'll come to you for advice, and I'll look after you.
You're a friend of Uzuki's. I could always use some help, if you want.

Squeal, you two are really hot.
No, no!　It's not like that!　Because Mr. Sayer is really, really amazing!

Haha, you're lucky to have such a pretty girl who likes you. It's not for me to say, but from now on, you're going to have to protect Uzukis. We'll be on your side.

Of course, I don't want Uzuki to do anything insolent, no matter who he is.

　Uzuki bows his head with a bow.

　The sight of him was very cute, but........but I felt a slight discomfort in the flow of the conversation.
　It's not just now, I've been feeling this every now and then since yesterday, what on earth is this?
　Is it just my imagination - or am I thinking too much?

Look at that, Seya. I was given a gift of warabi cake as a gift!　........What's going on, Mr. Seya?　You look very serious, though.
...no, it's nothing.

　He smiles and covers up the indescribable uncomfortable feeling.
　It's all about not thinking about the things you can't help but think about.
　It's a small lesson in my life to avoid unnecessary stress.

　And I'm still adjusting to a different world myself.
　

''Is that so?　I hope so.
Bad, bad.

　Okay, freshen up!
　Let's switch our minds.
　Because I've decided to live happily and irresistibly in this world instead of brooding over it!

So, what did they give you?
It's a strawberry cake.　I'm sure Hajduki would be very pleased.

　As he spoke, he opened the bamboo skin to reveal to me

'Heh....let's see.......well, that's not the same as the warabi cake I know.......?　Isn't bracken cake transparent?　This is so black.

"...?　Bracken cakes are black, you know?
　Uzuki nodded his head.

'No, no, warabi-mochi is a clear, cool snack, right?
　It's a Japanese summer staple, served with yellow powder.

Isn't that a sweet potato cake?　That one has a similar look and beautiful clarity.
Sweet potato cakes...?
　What is that, the first time you've ever heard of it?

''Oh, come to think of it, I've heard that sweet potato cakes are sold in Teito as strawberry cakes. Could it be that?
Is that...?

　Honestly, I'm not sure.
　I might be able to find out if I use the gourmet S-class cheat 'Ultimate and Supreme', but well, it's not that good.......

As I recall, it was something like, "As I recall, strawberry flour is a difficult ingredient to obtain, so I substitute sweet potato flour for it. Oh yes, I also got some sugar from Naiya-san, so I'll try to make it next time.
So, yeah, I'll do you a favor... but sweet potato cakes?

　Maybe there's something wrong with the translation of the basic S-class cheat "Cymartinian Interpreter"...
'Well well what's more important than food is the irresistible harem...'

　And so we finished our errand and got a souvenir strawberry cake as a gift.
　It was already after dark when we left Kochon and returned to the village of Aoudo, where Uzuki and his family lived.

'If it were a little later in the summer, it would still be light at this time of day.
　As I listened to Uzushi's explanation, I walked down the dark night road towards the house, with only the moonlight and the light from the stone leaking out of the window.

It's the same in that part of the world as it is in this part of the world... but it's still dark... and the lights in the house make me feel very safe.

　Actually, I have a cheat that allows me to see clearly in the dark, but I didn't dare to use it because I wanted to fully enjoy the wonderful situation of Uzuki and I walking shoulder to shoulder in the dark.

　This kind of atmosphere and atmosphere is very important for me personally.

We made it just in time. It's hard to just walk along the road after dark.

　I'm almost home - I hope Hazuki was able to stay at home.
　As I was thinking about this, I suddenly saw Hazuki standing in the doorway.
　He must have noticed us, because he came running over to us right away.

　I'm not sure if he's that lonely, or if he's just a cute guy, but the sight of Hazuki running up to him is a bit odd.

　The face that looks like it's about to cry - no, this is the face after crying.
　Her eyes are bright red and swollen, and there are tear marks on her cheeks - she has tear marks on her cheeks.

'What's the matter, Hajduki? What's wrong with you?

　In an attempt to reassure her, I crouched down and met Hazuki's eyes before asking the question.
　But the answer that comes back is something I never imagined.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one.
