The Elf Is a Freeloader

Yasushi speaks to them as he drops off his friends returning from the front door.

"I'm sorry you went out of your way for El today."

"Never mind. We wanted to see how Elle was doing."

"That's what happened. Well, tell Elle to take care of it."

Aye and Ryu visited the Akatsuka family today, of course, for El's visit.

Finally, Elle's fever dropped to flat fever, so he stopped by the Akatsuka family on his way home from school.

Elle, who hadn't had face to face with the ayes in a long time, was still on the bed but seemed to enjoy it.

Aoi penetrates Ryu's bokeh, and when he sees it, Yasushi and Elle laugh.

It's been a long time since I've had an exchange that's completely settled in, enjoyed a conversation without other love, and in no time time time passed.

At a time when Elle is feeling better and Yasushi can take care of Elle, her parents are returning to work.

As a result, Aoi and Takashi spent until after eight o'clock at the Akatsuka family.

Along the way, we all had a light snack prepared by Yasushi, so we forgot to even feel hungry.

I guess they were both extra cautious because they had informed their homes in advance that they would stop by Yasushi's house.

The two of them, realizing the current time, rushed to start preparing to go home and to this day.

When Aye and Ryu tried to take him out the front door.

Looks like Aye remembered something and looked back to Yasushi again.

"If El's like he is today, he's totally feeling better next Sunday, isn't he? Then naturally we'll go together, won't we?

"Sunday......? Oh," Dream Festival "?"

Yasushi's "Dream Festival" is a locally organized festival held in Nikken-shi every September.

It's not a massive festival like the one known nationally, but there are also more than 150 stores lined up for dance performances by dance teams in and out of the city, as well as B-grade dining and shopping booths.

Above all, there are launching fireworks that colour the end of the festival, and some people take their feet from neighboring towns to show the bustle every year.

The Dream Festival will be held next Sunday.

"Right. I want to show Elle the festival."

"Yeah. Let's go with the four of us."

"Okay. I'll tell Elle too."

Aye nodded contentedly at Yasushi's reply, waving his hand, this time diving into the front door.

After the two friends return, Yasushi cooks dinner again and takes Elle's share to her room.

Because of Elle's weak stomach and intestines after illness, today's menu is a light flavor - and Elle's favorite.

When Yasushi enters Elle's room, he puts the kishimen he brought on the low table.

"Wow, Kishimensu!!"

"Fewer utensils, but bear with me. He might still have a weak digestive system."

When Yasushi sees the handkerchief placed on the low table, he sits on a cushion placed on the floor with Elle's eyes shining.

With a delightful expression, he held his chopsticks and tried to get his hands on Kishimen - - and Elle's hand stopped perfectly.

"Oh, um... what about Mr. Yastaka's dinner...?

Now, on the low table in front of me, Arashimen is for one. Naturally, that's Elle's share.

"I'll eat downstairs. Because I make my share."

Apparently, Yasushi wasn't going to eat in Elle's room.

Elle has been eating in his own room for the past few days. It was Kaori's decision that she shouldn't move around too much because she was ill, but if she tried El, who often eats with Yasushi from time to time, it was still lonely to eat alone.

I finally got better from my illness, and I really enjoyed hearing about Aye and Ryu today.

It makes me feel more lonely than usual to eat alone again after such a good time.

And.

Besides, I'd love to enjoy the meal he made me while I let him face to face with Yasushi at any rate.

"Oh, uh... as long as Mr. Yastaka is good, why don't we eat together here...?

Just a little upbeat, Elle made a wish to Yasushi.

"Huh? Am I in Elle's room too...? Um, well, if you want El himself..."

"Ho, that's true!?"

Yasushi's understanding makes Elle's expression shine.

Once downstairs, Yasushi returns to Elle's room with his share of the shavings.

Settling back opposite Elle at the low table, Yasushi stretches his spine again to face Elle.

"Uh... well, let's eat"

"Yes. I'll have it"

"I'll have it."

When they held the chopsticks at the same time, they sucked up Shimen when they twitched.

While cutting apples for Elle after meals, Yasushi talked about the festival to be held the following Sunday.

"Festival......?

"Oh. When I say festival, it's a small thing in a local town, though. But I've been going to festivals every year for a long time."

The history of the "Dream Festival" in Nissan City is never ancient. Since it was held for the first time a little over ten years ago, Yasushi has been there every year since the beginning.

Still, Yasushi liked the lively atmosphere characteristic of that festival.

"Fireworks go up at night, too. I think you'll enjoy it."

"Hanavi?"

"Oh well. Does Elle know about fireworks?"

Yasushi explains to Elle what fireworks are like, to the best of his knowledge.

Speaking of that El, more and more curiosity comes to his face as he listens to your explanation.

"I'd love to see that Hanabi!!"

The fireworks we haven't seen yet seem to have completely ignited Elle's curiosity.

"Then let's all go again. I'll tell you that at school tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll send you an e-mail from me, too."

After the fever had dropped somewhat, Elle, who had spared time on the bed, was bored with his smartphone. As a result, it now seems quite accustomed to its treatment.

Hearing Elle's words, Yasushi offered her a nodding, skinned, sliced apple, stabbed to the claw branch.

"Thank you! This apple is fruit, isn't it really delicious!

Elle tried to get herself on the low table and received the apple offered by Yasushi.

At that time, from the chest of her pyjama, which fronted, the two hills of her shapely breasts peek into her face.

Especially from Yasushi, who was directly in front of him, he could see most of the two hills depicting a smooth semicircle. Difficultly, I could not see the coloured fruit on its tip.

But if you try to be healthy, that's highly stimulating enough.

Yasushi turns his face red unintentionally, but rushes away from his gaze.

But there's so much more to this than living together.

Especially now it's summer and naturally all I wear is thin.

Chest valleys peeking from the chest, armpits visible from the cuffs, underwear with glimpses from the gaps in the clothes, etc.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to point that out with your mouth. It's not easy to say from a man to a woman, "I see you."

So, all Yasushi can do is slip away from his gaze.

Didn't realize as if he was such a man's grid, Elle is cheeky with apples looking delicious.

Try it on her, the fever's gone down and she can finally eat something decent. You can't help but be obsessed with the deliciousness of apples.

It was a little later that Elle realized the defenselessness of her chest and screamed cutely without thinking about it.

The next morning, when Yasushi went to school, both Ryu and Aoi were already in the classroom.

When they realize that Yasushi has come into the classroom, they come closer to him with a morning greeting.

"Good morning, Yasushi. Elle texted me this evening."

"Morning, Yasushi. He's texting me, too."

"Morning, Aye, Ryu. I know it was in Elle's e-mail, but can we meet again at Aye's house on Sunday?

"That's fine. You can meet me at my house and take a patrol bus out of front of the station to the festival venue's city hall."

The "Dream Festival" has been attended every year since the first edition. Nevertheless, I do not recall what kind of event took place because the first time was of such age that neither the Yasushi nor the Kindergartens were even admitted to kindergarten.

Every year after that I went to the usual three with their respective brothers and sisters, as well as someone's parents as guardians. Only the three of us started going to the festival after they enrolled in secondary school.

But from this year on, it will be a four-person participation, not a threesome.

"No, your father said we're having a slightly different event this year."

"Holding? Not the usual songko dance or something?

"Oh. They're going to do the Naruto dance as usual this year, but they're up to something else. He didn't tell me the details, but he's already got a lot of roots."

"The rooting of Ryu's father. I'm a little scared I'm going to do something."

Since the example "Mr. Elf" project hit, Takashi's father, Mayor Hagano, has gained more fame.

More recently, even on holidays, I see cameras one-handed tourists everywhere in the city who have asked to look like "Mr. Unknown Elf". The impact is clearly visible in figures as an economic effect, and from each side, expectations for the next measure are rising.

When I heard that Mayor Hagano was up to something, Yasushi and the others were half scared and so on.

"Well, there 'll be a lot of stalls out there as usual, so I hope you don't enjoy El that way"

"Right. If you try that girl, it's the first festival we've ever had, right?

"No, speaking of stalls, goldfish from Bon Street, how are you?

"At first, I kept it in a plastic case that was rolling in the corner of the storage unit, and Elle immediately bought herself a small but genuine tank or air pump or something. I keep it in my own room."

"Oh, no, there was a tank on the desk in the corner of the room yesterday when I went to visit Elle"

"Oh, I knew you were a goldfish then"

Elle, who totally likes goldfish, asks Yasushi to find out how to buy goldfish on the internet and takes care of them enthusiastically according to it.

There's only one goldfish, but they've also caught tanishi, suji shrimp, etc. in neighborhood farm waterways as a cleaner in the tank, which is a bit busy because they live in the tank with goldfish.

Sometimes the Spirit of Water "Water Elementary" pi is shaking (boiling) in the tank, transforming it into a chaotic (chaos) tank that is not seen anywhere else.

By the way, when the water is getting dirty, he says it's cleaning in an instant with the magic of purifying the water.

"Ugh. I'm sure it's about El, so if you find a goldfish stall, you're gonna make a fuss about wanting to do it again."

"Well, one or two more of those tanks would seem good... but if there's going to be too much more, I'm going to need a bigger tank..."

When that happens, I can't put it on the little desk in Elle's room, and I have to think about where to put it again.

Still, if Elle is happy with it, it's not a bad idea to worry about it.

I'm sure then, because that elf girl, not just Yasushi, will think with a smile on her face.
