“Uu, even though he asked if I wanted to go together with him….”

Aze-sama grumbles with tearful voice while lightly hitting a big chick-shaped cus.h.i.+on.

“Are you still shocked about the matter yesterday?”

“I mean!”

“That was Mia"s scheme at work wasn"t it.

Satou-san didn"t seem to be aware of our 『Kiss of Vow』 custom you know.”

“I-cannot-hear-you–”

Aze-sama blocks her ears like a child would.

She"s happy that Satou wasn"t aware of the custom, yet on the other hand, it also means that the kiss Satou-san gave her on the forehead when they first met wasn"t intended to be the 『Kiss of Vow』.

That said, there is no way I can tell her, “You should"ve gone together with Satou-san then.”

Because she"s the last High Elf that remains in Boruenan Forest.

Aze-sama is the emotional support of the elves that live in the village, she is yearned by the elves, and an object of faith of other fairykins and demi-humans, revered like a living G.o.d.

“Uu…stupid Satou….”

There"s no doubt their faith would vanish if they saw her figure now.

Or maybe, should we send an a.s.sa.s.sin aiming for Satou-san?

There"s probably no one that can win against someone who defeated the Evil Jelly colony that contaminated the World Tree with a single strike though.

Since Aze-sama who"s become tired from grumbling is finally asleep while holding the cus.h.i.+on, I quietly resume cleaning the tree house.

“Aze, cheer up?”

“That"s right Aze! Won"t you give me honey cakes?”

The pixies are trying to console Aze-sama who"s looking melancholic on the balcony of the tree house.

However, Aze-sama only reacts lightly.

Only two days have pa.s.sed since Satou-san left, so this can"t be helped….

An unexpected visitor came right at that time.

“Lusan, it"s been awhile. These are some souvenirs for you.”

“Eh? Satou-san?”

Satou-san who"s returned with teleport magic hands me the magic bag which was given to him as a parting gift.

When I look inside, there"s a big lump of meat. It"s probably from some beast. Nea probably knows how to turn this into a delicious dish.

Even without me saying anything, Satou-san briskly walks to the balcony where Aze-sama is sulking.

“I"m back Aze.”

“SSatou! W-why?”

“I wanted to see Aze"s face so I"ve come back.”

Ugeh, I"m going to vomit sugar.

Satou-san smoothly speaks some womanizer-like remark.

Aze-sama is, “Awawa”-ing, unable to speak clearly, but she looks really happy.

He"s returned alone, Mia and the others aren"t with him.

“Satou, didn"t you get out?”

“Dumping Aze away, getting a new girl–”

“I"ve brought you souvenirs too.”

“You know your stuff!”

“Wa~i, it"s honey cakes!”

“Hyahho~! There"s confetti candies too!”

Satou-san shrewdly gives the pixies with a bag containing some snacks, he"s successfully neutralized the little intruders.

I think this reunion is too fast, but I"m glad that Aze-sama"s gotten her energy back.

The two have begun to flirt with their conversations on the balcony, but those two probably won"t do anything wrong even if I leave them alone.

Satou-san seems to have that in mind, but Aze-sama doesn"t seem like she"d do the common mistake of young people.

I leave the rest to the pixies as I"m going to Nea"s place to prepare the banquet tonight.
