The Elf Is a Freeloader

Sunday in late September. The time is not even 6: 00 a.m. yet.

Early in the morning, Yasushi was coming to the pond in Higashigomachi with Elle.

During the shielded pond, a total of three throwing rods are erected on the installed fence.

On the shore behind that throwing rod, Yasushi and Elle sat down next to each other, quietly gazing at the rod.

Eventually, Jalan, the bell that was attached to the pole rings.

At the same time, one tip of the rod became drawn toward the pond, and Yasushi rushed over to the rod and shook up the rod to hold it firmly with both hands for matching.

and the heavy response falls into the hands of Yasushi through the rod.

The spinning reel drag sounds and spits out the yarn while still making a strange noise.

Once the rod is wide open, Yanggui slowly swings the rod down as he wraps around the line.

That's how you wind the line up on the reel, but at the same time, more and more lines are thrown out forcefully.

Repeating such exchanges more than a dozen times gradually weakened fish resistance.

"El! Prepare the net!

"Ha!!"

Elle, who was still watching Yasushi behind his back, lined up beside him with a net in his hand as he had been described beforehand according to his instructions.

The line stretched from the tip of Yasushi's pole is quite close to shore.

Eventually, ahead of Elle staring, a big fish tail slapped the turbid surface.

A water splash splashes around the perimeter and the fish bursts out again.

There is no more resistance like the first one because it still drains the reveal of your health already.

Yasushi masterfully manipulates the rod to seal up the resistance of the fish.

And finally, I could see the whole fish.

It's a huge, fat carp all over in black. The total length is definitely more than 70 cm.

"Wow, that's huge!!"

Elle raised her excited voice unexpectedly.

"All right, I'm gonna pull you in, so just squeeze me up. Try to put it in the net from the head. Try to get it in your tail and you'll get away with it."

"Ha, ha!!"

Elle held the net with both hands and manipulated the net to envelop it from the head of the carp, as she was told.

"Oh, it's heavy...... ugh!!"

To a heavier weight than expected, Elle screams smaller.

Yasushi, who laid the rod on the ground, received a net on behalf of Elle, and lifted the fish up from the water.

"Oops........................!!"

Yasushi lowers the net-by-net fish to the ground and guts pose small.

Elle also makes his eyes black and white on the carp giant.

With the suction trick removed from Koi's mouth, Yasushi lifts the net straight up and returns the fish to the pond when he takes a few pictures of the commemoration on his smartphone.

"Huh? I caught a corner and you let me get away with it? Aren't you going to eat?

"Some fishermen will definitely eat the fish they catch, but I'm not fishing to eat it. Besides, the water in this pond isn't very pretty, and carp is a lot of hassle to make you throw up mud before you eat it."

"If it wasn't for eating... why would you fish?

El with a strange face. Even people in this world don't understand catch and release. Basically, if we try to make El the idea that the animals and fish caught are food, it would be out of comprehension to release the fish caught at the corner.

"I enjoy interacting with fish."

"Ha..."

Again, Elle doesn't seem to understand very well.

Yasushi then sets the condensed bait dough to a suction trick and throws the trick into the pond again.

Dumplings of condensed bait sank with the sound of dobo, and when they wore bottom, they took the yarn dandruff, and set the bell on the tip of the rod.

Now all you have to do is wait.

Inhalation fishing, which is not always a way of moving and fishing in search of points with fish, like lure fishing, but has to wait for fish to eat, is also a battle against patience.

Yasushi sits back and waits leisurely while enjoying the landscape.

Next to it, Elle, like him, was sitting back, trying to lean in and enjoy the same time.

Looking sideways at Elle like that, Yasushi was blurry about the question he asked Ryu the other day, "What do you think of Elle?"

If someone asks me how long I've liked her, I'm sure I'd answer this if I were Yasushi right now.

From the beginning, he said.

Since the first time I saw her, he had already begun to be attracted to Elle.

Suddenly, she showed up in the living room at home. I was distracted by the beauty at a glance.

And every time I deepened my interaction with her, her presence grew bigger and bigger in your health.

I'll show you in living with her, her little trick.

I learned about this world and was amazed at the look on its face.

The way you eat the dishes you make looks really delicious.

That strength that sometimes remembers sadness and loneliness, but still forwards diligently.

And most importantly, there's a bright, uncontrolled smile.

gradually and gradually and surely dyed his mind.

And he becomes aware.

To the fact that I was completely distraught by Elle.

But.

But Yasushi couldn't tell her what she thought. No, I thought I couldn't tell you.

─ ─ You can't be Elle's shackle.

The thought had become a great barrier to his love for her.

One more carp was then caught and after 8 a.m. today's fishing trip was taken as a naked rod.

"Well, let's go home and have breakfast"

"Yes. Actually, I'm hungry and I'm already at my limit"

Sometimes it was about fifteen minutes by bike from Yasushi to this pond, and I planned to have breakfast again when I got home.

The two of them, who cleaned up the poles and tricks, head to the garage at the edge of the pond.

"No, how's your new bike?

"Yes! Very good!!"

The other day, at last, Elle was buying his own bike, which was a memorial.

Fishing today is sometimes your hobby, but it was also Elle's first bike ride.

Unlocking her brand new own bike that she left in the parking lot, Elle looks happy to finally get a look at her favorite car.

"After all, it's a lot easier to have a bike"

"Oh, now you've expanded your scope of action."

"Yes!"

When Yasushi loaded his bike with fishing gear, he ran out to his home.

Behind it, Elle with a smiley face also continues.

Watching Elle like that over her shoulder, Yasushi made her wonder what she was going to make for breakfast.

When they returned home, Yasushi spent a slow Sunday morning after finishing breakfast.

Things I like to think about - I read books, did a little cleaning up, and even watched TV shows that I had stored up on weekdays with the two of them.

While doing so, it will be noon, and Yasushi and Elle will stand shoulder to shoulder in the kitchen.

Lunch was cooked in a breathtaking combination, and the two of us ate a meal together.

And as we each relax in the afternoon, your Yasushi smartphone inadvertently announces an incoming call.

"Who is it... Huh? Sawamura?"

Yasushi raised his voice in surprise at the unexpected name displayed on the display.

Still, I can't stay surprised forever. Yasushi operated his smartphone, put it in a call state, and then hit his ear.

'I'm sorry to call you all of a sudden. Is the time okay now?

"Oh. 'Cause lunch's over, and I was just relaxing"

'Right. Well, let's get straight to it. I need to talk to Akatsuka. That's also an extremely serious story. Hey, can you come out?

The voice of love (meow) heard from the smartphone was extremely serious.

Lately, she's just a little bit of a bad joke about sex (people) telling herself to "marry me" if she does it, but the way love is looking right now seems like something serious.

"Okay. Where am I supposed to go?

'Well... then...'

As soon as we decided where to meet, the call from love hung up.

"... from Mr. Megmi...?

"Oh. They want to talk about something. So I'm gonna come out a little."

"Yes, I understand... be careful on the road"

Yasushi, who responded with his hands up to Elle's words, heads to his room to prepare for his outing.

Elle dropped off his back leaving the living room with anxious light in his eyes.

It was about time the sky began to stain the pearls.

Love suddenly came to Aye's house.

It is not uncommon for love to come suddenly to Aye's house.

There have been many times before that I have come fluttering because I came close or because I was free.

But only today things are a little different than usual.

Love that came into the aye room with a small mouth count. Even as he leaned his neck towards such love, Aye offered a drink to the love that sat directly on the floor.

"... what's wrong? Aren't you feeling any better?

"…………………………… confessed to Akatsuka today"

"........................... Huh?

That word of love too unexpected. Aye took more than a breath to understand what love had said.

Love laughs powerlessly when it sees a flavor that unwittingly exposes a pompous look.

"... the result is... jade crushing. They shook me brilliantly...... I was somewhat prepared for this from the start... but still, I'm more shocked than I thought I would be... Hehehe, out of the blue, there was something maiden about me too..."

It would be a good nuisance for Aye, but I've had a little cry to hear, Love continued.

That's all I say, love falls silent.

Next to a cup of cold tea placed in front of her, one or two Shizuku falls apart from the condensation of the cup.

Aye couldn't say anything, he was just staring at love.

I didn't know that always my-paced love thought of you so depressingly so far.

I was listening to her sincerity a few days ago, but honestly I didn't think that love had been so serious.

How long would love have done that? When it was completely dark outside the room, love finally raised its face.

"You're not like me sinking forever. I hit him from the front and smashed his balls. Now I'm gonna give up on Akatsuka!

Love that sounds well mouthed, but still there will be no choice but to have some shadow left.

To such love, Aye turned a frightened, then impressed look.

"... you're strong, love. I can't believe I'm gonna get back on my feet in just this much time."

"Well, you're the faster to change your mind...... hey dude"

"What?"

Love was not an aye, he told, looking out the window at the town of Nikken.

"If... if you're going to confess to him too... if you don't feel quite right, you're just going to shatter your balls just like me."

"Huh...?

Dokiri, and. Word of love pierced my chest.

"Actually, the place I confessed to him today was my house, my room. Just when my mother was on holiday, she called him in without her parents..."

"Hey, hey love!? You didn't have a weird way of confessing, did you!?"

"It's not up to me to judge if it's weird, but I pulled him into my room anyway, and there I was in my underwear and confessed to him... still, he didn't shake my neck vertically"

"What are you doing? Are you okay?"

Where did you get the appearance that you had just seen? Aye got a severe headache.

"Because I was aware that I was quite disadvantaged. One shot here, trying to make an impactful confession..."

"Do you have enough impact?!? If you suddenly confess in your underwear, most men will pull the other way!!"

"No, I thought if we were pushed down anyway and made a fait accompli, we'd win for sure. So if you're going to confess, just hold him naked..."

"Can you imitate like such an insane bitch? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Even though I'm about to die of embarrassment just to confess, hugging me naked on top of it, etc. Such imitation is unlikely to be possible.

"But even if we do all that... we don't know if we can turn the Akatsuka guy around? You realize who Akatsuka thinks of, don't you? In fact, I was shaken by him when he said," Because there's someone else I like. "

"Oh... that's..."

In the back of Aye's brain, I thought of an elf girl from different worlds who could now be called my best friend.
