Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.

When I get out of the car, it blows in the cold wind and I look up into the sky unexpectedly. I wonder if it was the north wind that tried to take the clothes away from the traveller. It was a warm sun triumph then, but today it is an unfortunate cloudy sky.

The air is drying out and the exhaled breath stains white. Strangely enough, I feel like I'm quiet with Singh as it gets cold. Remembering the snowy land I was accustomed to, I exhale white again.

"Cold......"

"I knew Tokyo was warm. Oh, I'm sorry. What did you say?

When I say that and look back, I just have a little fuzzy face waiting for me. also Marie, wearing this knitted hat, stared at me with her light purple eyes.

"Apparently, your bluntness affects the flesh as well."

"That's just a little bit sad when you squint."

I don't think so, actually, when it comes to bluntness. I was just my wife in love, but I'm getting used to it through my daily socializations with her.

Mm-hmm. That's what I get offered. I still thought her hands were cold and she needed gloves soon as well as mufflers.

"I think Marie's blunt, too."

"Me? Hehe, no way. You say funny things sometimes."

She laughs strangely, and the girl clings to her arm. But it doesn't mean a lover-like trick. It's the same thing that keeps warm fire to her.

"That, even in the Elf Forest, was it as if you didn't lend ears to romance stories?

"That depends on the content. Of course you can lend me these long ears if it's funny. It must be painful to listen to boring stories, huh?

Do you understand? I was looked up with the look on my face, but as far as I can remember, I don't think I've ever lent you a long ear.

Now, what content will interest her? Is it a story with different identities such as nobility and civilians? Or stories full of thrills being targeted by enemy organizations? In any case, a warmer space must be of much more interest to Marie than a romantic tale.

And then we chase the black cat, and we walk down the trail. Very ordinary residential neighborhood around here, with few people even during the day of the holidays. It was still the black cat who found the store he was looking for first, but when he approached the front of the entrance, an unexpected rare customer appeared fluttered.

Nah, it wasn't Uridra who rang.

A different cat with a bright white fur approached her as she stopped. She had blue eyes and had beautiful pink nose tips and ears.

"Oh, you made friends?

The black cat looks back like she was in trouble when Marie asks, but she still smells Sung Sung.

"That's a cat greeting. Smell it, stick your noses together, gather a lot of information that we don't know. Apparently, the devil liked the dragon's use."

The look of rubbing a sleigh on her face is adorable, and Uridora would be one of those "envious" things for a cat-loving girl anyway. Nice, nice, I was twitching like I said.

Most cats stay away from people, but this white cat seems different. When I looked up with my big blue eyes, I rang towards Marie to say Ugh to.

"Oh, I hope you're okay. It's in front of the store, so I don't mind."

"If people come, I'll tell them, so it's okay. Never mind to say hello. Otherwise the whimsical cat will go somewhere."

Yay, she laughs all over her sight as she says. That's enough laughter to seem glorious already, and my breasts make dodgy noises on their own.

This is when I think of her as blunt. I let go of my hands all the time and immediately turn my back. I dropped him off thinking that kind of whimsy was catty, too.

Crouching, touching me with a proper nose tip in a way that Marie doesn't think stretches her fingertips. It was the habit of reacting to a conundrum, and during her time in this Japan, the girl knew all about the cat.

"You're beautiful. Sweet for that, too. Could it be your territory around here?"

Listening to the girl's tender voice, I also lower my hips right next door. Though it makes me want to touch the fluffy hairs, that's only after I've finished greeting the Elves.

But she's not just a cat lover. Thanks to being able to communicate with the Spirit, I quickly allowed myself to be distracted, and it didn't take a minute for me to fall asleep with him.

"Hmph, cute. Look, it's so beautifully hairy. I'm sure you have them bathed like every day. Maybe the owner is a great cat lover."

It seems nice to be able to stroke her body, and the white cat holds Marie's hand tight. And as in return, he was licking it. With a screaming face, she looks back, and when she sees that reluctant face, her cheeks loosen up to this one on their own. I finally laughed out loud when I saw him move his mouth as he twisted himself.

and then chillin and bell ring. The store door opened from the inside and there was a surprised Lady's face in the gap. I get up in a panic when I see it.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I played in front of the store"

"No, I don't mind. It's busy in front of the store so I peeked... Chal, you went out again on your own. Undesirable Child."

He seemed to say "I'm sorry" when he sounded "hee" as he fell asleep. It didn't happen that the three of us laughed and the door opened inside.

"If you like, rest in the store and go. These kids were just free, too, and today is a bottom cold day. I'll serve you if you want warm tea."

Despite our pleasant offer, we cannot respond immediately. Because there was a line of cute cats across the open doorway peeking with curious eyes, "Who is it," "There's the one you don't know," and "Suspicious or stubborn".

Dispensing items with items and accessories imitating cats decorated by windows. Looking at them, I notice a wood-carved sign called "Firewood Cat Cafe" around the entrance.

This is a cat cafe in the city.

It is a place to spend time surrounded by lots of cats and there are plenty of people in the city who are looking for such "healing". Because it's a stressful society, and I just want to say that the majority of people are just cat lovers, like Mr. Elf, who actually stands up there.

"Hey, I don't know. I can't believe there's a paradise..."

Ugh, yeah. If the paradise that people in the other world believe is here, there are countless of them in the city alone.

The black cat, the newcomer on the other hand, looked accustomed to the lady earlier saying, "You're this way," and was held up a bit.

"Mm, I tried to clean you up, but the hairs are so beautiful. Besides... Hmm, good smell. You're beautiful, and you're hot for the kids here."

I'm not happy at all, like I said, the black cat looks frightened. It was just a minor change of expression because she was a cat, but the lady stares at the black cat for realizing it. The black cat was gently out of sight, looking from the right to the left to observe the ceramics.

"... okay. Both of you, hang over there and wait. This is a store, so the cats who come back from the outside have to be cleaned up."

"Oh, I didn't bother. She's a bath lover, so I think it's okay to just wash her legs"

When the lady laughs elegantly at it, she realizes it's a wrinkle form that she can tell she's used to laughing at. Finally, when he said "Take your time" and disappeared into the back of the store, straw and cats stopped at his feet as he waited for it.

Wow, you're nostalgic. If you look, Marie is surrounded by more than I am, and she rubs her body all over the place. But Marie can't move with her back turned. Because there were more amazing things to do than a lot of cats.

"There it is. - No!

Behind between the slabs was a black brass firewood stove, which conveys gentle warmth due to fire. Arranging bricks on the back and bottom would surely be for heat protection. The fence that covers the perimeter again is for cat avoidance.

When you take off your shoes and go up, your cold feet warm up quickly by the slab floor. The girl looks back in surprise as she is wrapped in a pompous warmth.

"I don't know what that means, there's a fireplace in Japan!

"Ah, a firewood stove made of heat-resistant glass? Many houses use it as a northern country, and it's warm after all. It's far infrared, so it warms up to the core of the body. Well, is that why Kaoruko-san told me about this shop?"

"How can you put a fireplace when every house in Japan is so small?

Well, because I made improvements such as installing chimneys and using heat-resistant glass... Oh, well. It's a substitute for everywhere in the other world if it's a harsh cold area, but it's hard to see if it's Tokyo.

Every time I give an explanation, for example, the girl nods yeah. And he said, "I'll sit down for a minute," and then he called around, and then he sat between the floors in a near-motion...

"Ugh, my hips warm up when I was so cold."

Happiness for the Elves increases even more when you stop by. Pushing her thighs on a meatball all the time is a signal that I'm going to sleep here, and Marie smiles differently than she did when she was under the cold sky.

stroking fluffy belly hair, but the girl's expression distorts into agony.

"No, you can't. You'll never forgive me. Once you know such a happy place, you can't help but want to live. Come on, I'll put you to bed one at a time."

but when she says oh-oh, the cats squeal back. When I was massaging around my neck and the base of my ear, I heard a noise behind my back. Looking back, it was the sound of an earlier lady putting a warm drink on the table.

"Hehe, my kids are totally forgiving you. Even though she was a little girl, she washed herself very well, and she seemed very smart."

When Uridora of the day also rushes, she looks at the firewood stove and shines her eyes, just like Marie. It was the same look I said there was, and walking around was like a little lion. Then you're up to something again, and I reach for a drink.

Fuwa and aroma is darjeeling, and I do recall that this was a tea made in the winter. You think he has a thick, soft mouthfeel that still withstood the cold?

Gratefully have a warm cup of tea, then bow your head to the lady.

"Thank you, it's delicious. And it's unusual to have a shop with a fireplace. Is it hard to manage after all?

"Yeah, right. I have firewood, I have chimney cleaning, but my husband likes this. Because this store is like a hobby after retirement."

I only have plenty of time, and the lady laughs again. I put a few cats on my lap and it still seemed like fun to mess with. The girlfriend looks at the fireplace and then laughs bitterly.

"But I knew when I knew this warmth, I couldn't complain"

We laughed when we were caught smiling like that. I think you're the owner of a nice smile even if you're old. Maybe those cats, who are nostalgic, got this personality because they were treating her.

The casual cats sleep everywhere on the run and enjoy the warm fireplace. No, that was because Marie was laying awake kids to sleep. Without waiting for lunch, one of them would fall asleep, and at the end of the day, he sighed to Marie, and a restful time flowed to the shop where the firewood cat cafe would be.

Well, I'm the only one who shouldn't sleep at times like this. On my stomach there is a throat chirping sound, and I am a troubled child who invites this drowsiness without hesitation.

Hmm roars and reaches for the black cat that was round nearby. When she stroked her soft stomach with all the gaps, Kapu Uridra bit her sweetly.

§

My bag falls to the floor. [M]

Cold sweat runs down my spine, even with my eyes open.

Why am I stunned when I come home from the office because Marie and Uridora were changing the furniture placement? The position of the table is closer to the bed, and it is not known where the shelves that had the border role disappeared again. But that's not where I was surprised. [M]

"Oh, uh, what's wrong with that?

When asked with a trembling voice, they finally noticed me coming home and they look back. I said welcome back, and I turned my face about in the direction I was pointing.

"What's the matter... I don't have the money to buy it, and of course you've decided to make it, right?

"Did you make a firewood stove?!?

"For me to possess the skill of unmatched demon birth (creature), there is not a single thing that I cannot produce. I just want to say that there are extremely many constraints in this world. I broke some bones."

Yes, the brunette says, squeaking cockins with her hands around her neck. But she had a satisfying look very similar to the craftsman because she was a dragon man who loved to produce new things.

"Oh, I really made a firewood stove"

Naturally, I was so upset that my vision wobbled. The end where the cylinder for smoke exhaust is stretched is the window, which gives me the minimum consideration of not drilling holes in the walls. But suppose there was smoke coming out of it, there must be complaints not only from the neighborhood, but also from the condo manager.

I was nodding on the floor when I realized it, and I sigh loudly thinking of the numerous complaints I would be able to make.

"Oh, I told you I couldn't put the fireplace in the apartment so much"

I kind of had a bad feeling about it. I was intrigued when I was a black cat, and that's why I paid more attention than once. I smiled and said, "Don't ever," and I complained persistently.

You see me groaning, the dragon woman comes closer one step at a time, shaking her dark hair. I was tying my hair because I had been working for a long time, and I had crouched in and pounded my shoulder.

"Ugh, it's Kitase. If you do set fire to it in the fireplace, it would make sense for administrators and those around you to get mad at you. But if you don't burn it, that's just conditioning."

"... what does that mean?

The grinning look reminds me of someone. Yes, the lady from the cat cafe I visited the other day. I don't think I have anything to do with this place, wondering when Uridora became the right person to smile.

Come and be invited by a brunette beauty to take you to the corner of the room. Needless to say, it was where the firewood stove was located, and the elf girl lined up next to me.

"I wouldn't do anything forbidden. Otherwise, it would be annoying for you, wouldn't it? That's why I thought Uridora."

"... I thought about it, I mean what?

"How to stay warm and comfortable in the winter, of course. Look, don't get mad. Me, I like your gentle vibe, so let me tell you the answer quickly"

Oh, apparently I was angry. I breathe faster than usual when you ask me, and I don't think I had the usual flexibility in my thoughts.

I often take a deep breath, and I say in my usual voice, "Well, can you tell me the answer? asked."

I realize that Marie's grin floated at that time is also much softer than when we met. As we spent time together from spring to winter, they were actually changing. The atmosphere is not toned, etc.

It is strange to say that we have lived for thousands of years, just over a hundred years, but that we have made a change in less than a year. Well, why is that?

There will be changes in my room before the answers to the questions arise. The spinning of Guru emerged from the universe thanks to a slow, body-shaped fire. Maybe he tried to fit in the current spin. She hit her hips once in a while, and Marie stroked her hips by the fire as she said, "Oh, my God."

"Hey, that's noisy, anyway. You feel different from some other spirits, but is that my fault?

Fill your little eyes like sesame grains and get up with support. It has a lizard-like body but a full body sluggish, reminiscent of a favorite lizard man of vegetables somewhere on the second tier. Pong and Uridora slap him in the head.

"As you know, a magician is responsible for exploring the means to achieve his purpose. In this case, our only purpose is to stay warm in the winter or not."

"Please watch. You know, it's really easy to think it's stupid, even if you know what you're doing."

From there, it was a little different than I expected.

I opened the entrance to the fireplace earlier, and the fire broke in, and the tail grabbed me and I started twitching. Often the two exchanged "design errors" and "they are fattening easily from fall to winter", and although there was a little stiffness, the fire subsided in the fireplace.

"Uh, what do you mean?

"I mean, I don't need firewood as long as this kid doesn't get away properly. Much easier than the cooler I made in the summer. You just have to prepare a cover for the fire. You know, good luck with him watching."

The fire that lays her sleeping with an arm pillow sets the flames all over her body when she breathes with Hunce and her little nose. I felt a faint fever on my skin and was confused by the way it was getting warmer and warmer.

"Firewood free firewood stove!? No way, I mean, with this..."

"Yeah, no way. With zero utility bills, only we can stay warm in the winter. It's like staying cool in the summer."

"I mean, you can make as many sweet, hawky baked potatoes or as soft simmering dishes as you like on the broth!

It was the inhabitants of the fantasy world who opened their eyes properly.

When Marie and Uridora looked at each other, they immediately said, "Why don't we go shopping!" "Let's go!" and nod at each other. At this moment, the "purpose" Uridora said earlier was beautifully and refreshingly forgotten, but we don't even realize it.

I yawned loudly and dropped him off at the supermarket. Maybe this winter for him will be a very noisy one, not usual.
