251-It looks like a couple





 The 19th day of the windy month. I finished my daily routine of brushing Belle, and while staring up at the clear, cloudless blue sky, I was thinking about what I should do now.
 It's a nice day, so why don't we go shopping? No, but I don't really want this right now.......Kuro and Isis-san seem to be busy lately for some reason, so I don't feel like going out to play.

 Well, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to hang around aimlessly once in a while, and at the moment such an idea popped into my head, a familiar voice sounded.

''Kite Kun-san! Mr. Kaitkun!
...Mr. Raz?

 When I looked back in the direction of the voice, a 30cm pink blonde haired fairy from the gate..............Raz-san came to me in a hurry, calling me in a unique way.
 

'Kaitokun-san! I need your help Raz!
Huh? Can I help you? What are you talking about?
'The limited edition is a couple of parfaits! You have to cooperate, sir!
...hmm?

 Limited is a couple of parfaits? What's the code? No, let's calm down and think about it...maybe they're not in the same order.
 Limited is a couple and parfait a couple and parfait a couple and parfait....

"....a 'couples-only' parfait?
'Yes! That's it! Please, Mr. Kaitkun, we need your help!
'No, I'm sorry. I don't know what the hell you're talking about even if you know the words... can you explain the situation?
'Well, uh ... oh, here it is!

 I came up with the words "couples only parfait", but I didn't understand why Raz-san wanted me to help him with that, so I asked him back, and then out of nowhere he pulled out a flyer.
 When I received the flyer, which was as tall as Raz-san, I looked through it and saw that it read: "Special Fruit Parfait for couples only! It was written in large letters, and a map of the Sinfonia Kingdom near the central street was written at the bottom.

''........Well, what on earth am I supposed to help with?''
'Raz I really want to have this fruit parfait. But I was told it has to be a couple.

 ........It's a couples-only parfait, right?

So Raz was going to ask 'Acht-Kun'... but Acht-Kun said no because he was going with Eva-san.
Hmmm... hmmm... what?

 Raz said that Acht first asked Acht to go with him... to have a couples-only parfait... what? So, that's what Raz and Acht are all about!
 I didn't know we were a couple with a tremendous height difference.
 But now that I think about it, I can see what Mr. Raz needs my help with.

"...I see. You mean you want me to help convince Acht, right!
'What? No, sir.
...Yeah?
'I want you and Raz to go and have a parfait and a bite to eat!
...What?

 I look at Raz-san, who tells me with a big smile, and I go completely rigid.
 What on earth is Raz-san saying? Going for a couples-only parfait with me because Acht said no... is it a guess? Or is it jealousy of Eva?
 I didn't think that the people of this world had much of a connection to that kind of jealousy, but I guess that's just the way it is for each person.

 It's not hard to understand how Raz-san felt when her boyfriend refused to let her go for the couples-only parfait that she really wanted to eat............but I think it's too bad for Achtung that I'm going instead of him.

''........No, Raz-san. You can't be too early.
Excuse me?
'No, so don't let your temporary emotions get the better of you... If this is the way Raz and I go out to eat together, you'll feel sorry for Acht, won't you?
Why?

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"........so if me and Raz-san go together now, people will think we're a couple, right?
"Raz and Mr. Kaitkun are a 'couple', you know?
'Yes, so... yes? Sorry, can you repeat that?
'Oh no, Raz and Mr. Kaitkun are a couple, so it's okay!

 ........shocking new revelation. Apparently me and Raz were a couple... when did this happen? I have no idea.
 Did you get drunk and pissed off? No, I have White's blessing, so I shouldn't get drunk.
 What's wrong with you that I don't remember? No, I've never seen Raz-san, who is so small as a stone, as such an object.
 So, then, I can think of.....

"...Um, Mr. Raz. I know this is a rude question, but Mr. Raz, do you know what a couple is?
'Of course! It means boys and girls love each other very much and are very close!

 Not wrong if interpreted broadly, but you don't know the critical part!
 Apparently, for Raz-san, a couple is just a good friend of the opposite s*x... No, of course, that's not a mistake either, but the couple described in the flyer refers to the lovers.

 Feeling the discrepancy in Raz-san's perception, and puzzling over how to explain it....Raz-san seems to have come up with something, and her expression changes to one of shock.

"..........Raz........I thought she liked Kaitokun-san and was a good friend of his, but..............................or is it Kaitokun-san? ...about Raz... do you hate him?
'Not really! I like it and we're good friends! So don't look like you're about to cry like that!

 Raz-san, who shakes her little body with a shake and tells us with tears in her eyes...........she could no longer choose any option other than the affirmative.

''So then........Raz and Kite Kun-san are a couple?''
'Yes, that's right! No - I was inadvertent. Me and Raz are a couple!
'Wow, I'm so happy for you! Wow, wow!
....

 I can't do this, I can't literally make the fairy Laz-san cry, and I can't say I'm different now when she's this happy.
 I deeply curse myself for being so easy to drift off, and I shrug my shoulders in dismay.

''Then, Kite Kun-san! Will you and Raz go for a parfait?
... yes. Let's go.
'Wow! I love you, Mr. KiteCun!

 Raz-san, who did a banzai while stretching his little body as best he could and flapped around on his little wings, was so murderously cute that I could no longer say anything objectionable about it.

 Dear Mom, Dad - I kind of knew that I was by far the least familiar with this kind of thing, but I didn't expect to be so naive. So, apparently, me and Raz - we're a couple, apparently.
