Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~

Aah, there was certainly that feeling before.

It was some sort of evil spirit or something, and if he still felt that way now I was going to introduce him to Onzada-kun’s services.
I’ll e-mail him later.

 

“Yuzu also had something of a physical condition that last time, but now that you’ve stabilized for quite a bit, will you be attending?”

No, it’s not decreased or stabilized at all.
But it’s been peacefully resolved.

“But since I’ve never gone out of his household, what if I don’t know how to perform formal greetings?”

“Since Father will be going with you, just greet the people how I greet and it’ll be fine.
Yuzu’s also become a fifth grader, and sometimes people have asked me ‘Oh, where’s your youngest daughter?’ If you’re not feeling well then it’s okay, but otherwise I’d be quite happy if you would come.”

“Oh….”

 

As expected, it’s impossible to play hooky for this.
It seems like I’m going to be drawn into the trouble……

Also, like father said, I’ve just entered the fifth grade in elementary school.

This body of mine has grown quite a bit, no? As to how much larger I’ve gotten, well, Ooba-onii-chan tried to hug and lift me for the first time in a while, and started to strain his back.

…… How rude.
I am very light.
However much I eat ramen, my stomach hardly changes, and I hardly eat any other meals.
Comparing it to Kotone-chan who has to swim laps to lose weight thanks to overeating ramen…… that…… in an instant, I felt a chill.

Oh yeah, there were things like that too, now that we’re talking about ramen.

One day, when I entered Dad-chan’s ramen shop, I had a slight feeling that something was very wrong.

To express it clearly, I thought that it was like the heavy soul of that corrupt business family that I ate, and not anything like the sweet taste of a wicked lady, that’s the kind of feeling.

“W-Welcome”

“………”

’

“………”

My eyes wandered towards the kitchen as I gazed upon him silently.

“You should greet customers more energetically.”

“……Welcome!”

At he who spoke out with a more or less desperate voice, I could only gaze at him scornfully.

“…… What are you doing? Yuuki-kun?”

“………”

In the kitchen, Yuuki-kun was washing the dishes while wearing a loose cook’s uniform.

While I was standing at the entrance, Misa noticed me and came closer.

“Yuzu-chan, welcome”

“Hey, Misa…… what’s that.”

“Ah, this.
Yuuki-kun loves ramen, so he brought me souvenirs from all over the country, it’s amazing.”

“Heeh……”

*chira*……

“So after talking to my onii-chan properly, he decided to help out with the shop.”

“Heeh……”

*chira*……

“I-I, it’s because Misa said that I’d never eaten the ramen of the province”

As my twinkling eyes looked at him, Yuuki-kun began to confess.

I see…… It’s [Misa], huh.
It’s a good thing you get along well with her.
Given that Dad-chan didn’t say anything, does he approve of this too?

Then I’ll be the one instead.

“My daughter is not easy, young’un.”

“What are you talking about suddenly?!”

 

*

’

…… Well, that was that.

Hmm, isn’t it nice that you’re having some lingering affection? Well, it can’t be helped since Misa is so cute.
As per usual, she’s like a ‘kokeshi doll’.

As to why he might be attracted to an elementary school girl, despite having the memory of his past life, it was because his feelings were considerably influenced by his actual age.

 

“Does this mean that Yuzu will not be attending?”

“……ah, yes”

Oops.
I didn’t hear anything that was being said in between.
…… Well, it’s alright.
It just means that people will say that I couldn’t attend the party because I was sick.

“Don’t worry so much about it.
Both Ooba and Kotone will be attending.”

“Ooba-onii-chan is going to be the heir, right?”

“At first, he’ll be going to Nikuno Ham to intern and learn, as one of the rank and file.”

“That’s nice.
If you let him start off as a company manager, he’d become a failure, right?”

“…… Yuzu sure is strict with Ooba.”

“The employees of the future are important too.
In the case of Kotone-onee-chan, there’s going to be a lot of suitors?”

“Ooh, Kotone surely will, for how pretty she is! She’ll be nearly 20, but she still hasn’t brought home her boyfriend……”

“Don’t worry so much about the youngsters.”

“Did Yuzu pick all these up from Father saying them!?”

What, did Father say those too? Anyway, because Kotone-chan’s significant other is Dad-chan, he can’t be brought home to the family easily.

 

And so, I ended up agreeing to attend Nikuno Ham’s party.

Nn~…… I wish I wouldn’t run into any problems.
