Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN)

"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 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 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 become 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 melancholic 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\'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.
