SS: The Person Aze’s Waiting for


    "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 cushion.


    "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 thest High Elf that remains in Boruenan Forest.


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


    "Uu...stupid Satou...."


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


    Or maybe, should we send an assassin 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 be tired from grumbling is finally asleep while holding the cushion, 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 mncholic on the balcony of the tree house.


    However, Aze-sama only reacts lightly.


    Only two days have passed since Satou-san left, so this can’t be helped....


    An unexpected visitor came right at that time.


    "Lua-san, 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."


    "Sa-Satou! W-why?"


    "I wanted to see Aze’s face so I’vee 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 sessfully neutralized the little intruders.


    I think this reunion is too fast, but I’m d 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 themon mistake of young people.


    I leave the rest to the pixies as I’m going to Nea’s ce to prepare the banquet tonight.
