We left Elise's shop and walked slowly down the main street again. The results of the fortune-telling were something I was curious about, but Elise-san said there was no need to be too conscious of it, since fortune telling was just one of the guidelines for the future.
　I didn't feel comfortable leaving after just getting a free fortune-telling as it was, so I bought a few items that seemed to be good luck charms for this world.
　Elise, who had a delicate look on her face when she first entered the store, but when it was time to leave, she said, "If you come back as a customer again, you're somewhat welcome," so I think we got to know each other a little better.

　Well, that being said, what do I do now?　Maybe I'll just go to Alice's as usual and visit her.　No, well, Alice herself will come out as soon as you call her... but somehow, when I play with Alice, I end up visiting that grocery store. Somehow, that store is very comfortable, isn't it?

　As I was walking leisurely, thinking about this, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me from the corner of my eye, an unfamiliar figure.

''Fufufu, marshmallow ~ delicious, delicious marshmallow...''

　The person who was walking around with a cute little bottle in his hand and in a good mood, clinking something that looked like a song, stiffened as if he was petrified at the sight of me.

''........''
....

　After a heavy, incredibly heavy silence passed, the person turned so pale that it was pitiful to watch, and began to sweat profusely.

''Well, um, I didn't see anything. Gu, it's a coincidence, Luna-san.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.

　That's right, what appeared in front of me was not the familiar maid's outfit, but Luna-san in casual civilian clothes.
　From the way she was dressed, Luna-san seemed to be on vacation today. So she went out shopping in town, bought a marshmallow, which is probably her favorite food, and was in the middle of returning home in a good mood when she ran into me.......

'Shopping?'
Yeah, I mean...
...Do you like marshmallows?
Yeah, that's what I thought...

　I managed to try to continue the conversation, but it was painful to see Luna-san answering while looking away from her gaze, pale and unable to continue the conversation successfully.
　I could have guessed from the situation so far that Luna-san likes marshmallows, and it's not strange that she's here to buy them.
　The problem was the mysterious song he was singing in a very good mood.

　Luna-san's polite language, combined with her well-rounded appearance and her maid's demeanor, gave the impression of being a cool woman if you didn't know her well.
　However, the truth is that she has quite a bit of childishness on the inside. She has a fondness for irritations, gets angry when she's angry, and has an aversion to bitter foods and can't drink coffee. Noah told me by accident, but he also likes stuffed animals.

　Well, although Luna-san has such a gap, she is embarrassed by such aspects, and although the same was the case at the karaoke competition, seeing her like that makes me feel very sorry for her.

''........Miyama-sama, I have a proposal for you.
'What?　Oh, yes. What is it?
You like hot milk, don't you?
Yeah, yeah, I like it.
'If you have a few minutes to spare, why don't you come by for a little while as my house is near here?　We have some delicious pastries.
Huh?　Ah, yes. If it's not too much trouble...

　I nod my head in response to Luna-san's sudden announcement of her proposal. To be honest, I don't understand the purpose of this proposal. To call it a simple invitation to my house, the flow of the conversation is strange.
　So the purpose is not to invite me, but to treat me to drinks and sweets?　If so, I don't know why.

Instead, erase from your memory what just happened and don't say anything else.
Okay.

　I see, so it's an exchange condition. Come to think of it, I remember Luna-san has made an exchange condition before that she would not pursue Luna-san's dislike of insects in exchange for not making fun of my dislike of peppers.
　Maybe she makes it a point to make an exchange condition when she asks me to do something for her.

　For me, I don't intend to say anything else even if there are no terms of exchange, but.......if accepting the offer makes me feel secure from Luna-san's point of view, I have no reason to refuse.
　I'm also interested in what Luna-san's house is like........








　Luna-san showed me around and I arrived at an area where there is a cluster of houses located a little off the main street. Luna-san's house, located in one corner of it, might be somewhat rude to say, but it was........normal.
　A two-story house that wasn't that large. It looks just right for a family of three to live in, and it's a very common house, but.......that was new to me.

It's a nice house with a relaxed atmosphere.
It's a little cramped, but come on in.

　The houses I knew in this world were all far from the word common. Lilia-san's mansion, Isis-san's castle, Fate-san's temple and many of them were huge.
　Zeke's house, which could be called a commoner's house, was designed to look like a large hollowed out tree typical of the elves, and Alice's general store was expanded inside with some kind of spatial magic.
　It's not a bad idea to have a house with a familiar shape for me as a Japanese.

　I'm sure it's unfortunate for Luna-san, but it's just right for me, as I wasn't sure what to do. Normally, Luna-san has a lot of work to do and we don't have much opportunity to talk at leisure. After all, we've known each other for a long time, so I'm hoping that this is an opportunity for us to get to know each other better than ever before.
