It see of freshwater fish, she was passionately trying to steal the taste since so skill of the rabbit as al She had also coh the cooking duty was did by rotation, if it was asked as the head chef as entrusted with Nagumo family's kitchen, the ansould already unaniet it but, in the first place what seem like will be trouble is whether the spice can be obtained in Japan」

「You'll surely find it if you search And if not, you can just coate」

「……Now that Hajiht Hajime-san is too all-purpose that I'll turn depraved from the convenience」

「If it's for the sake of Shia's handot」

「Err……I'm really happy that Hajime-san say that, but those are profoundly ht before ere taking down the ehtly for soluttonous……」

Once, when Shia kept herstuck between her family's deterave her those words Those words were one of several "important words" inside Shia And so her expression became really complicated

But, the one in question Haji around, rather he said those words just noith an expression that was even stiffer than the previous night before taking down the eht" is really a cruel remark After all Shia has firmly taken hold of , I'll even pick fight against the world I won't hold back」

「My, er of a war!? Tha, that's heavy desuu」

Even while she was saying that, if one looked at her rabbit ears whooshing around it was clearly obvious how happy she was 「Or rather, what kind of situation that will ? I don't get thethe food with her fork and doing her best to hold back herwidely

The atmosphere of the tas ed the food in the area to becoary taste" Inside the restaurant that was quite bustling there were various guests, but those ere ue

There was also how Shia was an exceptionally beautiful girl

Actially since when she first entered the restaurant, she was gathering quite a lot of gaze Even the restaurant's staffs were stealing glances at her, even the guest who entered after would also surely take one or two gaze at Shia

Also because normally there would be Yue and others around her, people would recognize her as "one of the beauties", but originally she was a possessor of beauty that couldn't help but gather attention even by herself

Hajientle eyes In order to hide her embarrassment, Shia's stuffed her cheeks hamu-hamu-hamu with food Haji like that……

「Geez Ple, please don't stare at me like that~」

「Where should I look then huh」

Haji on how to perceive those words, they could also be heard like 「There is nothing else that I should see except Shia」 or 「I want to look at Shia all the time」

In fact, the male faction inside the restaurant perceived Hajiritted their teeth audibly and clicked their tongue with a lot of jealousy filling the sound

A male restaurant staff let his jealousy drove hi on the table hard The hot soup splashed at a raphic sound resounded It seeht fro as a date

It seemed only the seats of the two had different atmosphere around them If it was in two dihtily around the face that was filled with a lot of embarrassht now, the sound splash- that could be heardon the road beside the terrace falling into the river 「Aa~」 such voice could be heard vanishing into distance It was unkno far that et carried away by the strealy in the night, then Shia was char happiness around warh the vector of the tas different, the de's rabbit possessed a char vampire princess

But, at that ti a breather

「Could it be, the improvement is finished?」

「Yeah It's properly arun placeht Then 120 pencil missiles It's also loaded with torpedo and mine, twenty of each I'uess for a quick job With this it became a safe vehicle more or less」

Hajime serous things desuu」 with her rabbit ears going liht the sound kasa kasa that caused her to shudder reflexively When she turned her gaze toward her feet, all the Arachne-san who had finished their task were currently gushing forth fro and gave a sht one after another, returning into the Treasure Warehouse

Shia thought, 「Those Arachne-san, they are controlled by Hajiht? Somehow I feel a sense of self froht?」 It was scary so she didn't ask though

「Hajime-san, it's better to not show those Arachne-san in front of Kaori-san or Shizuku-san you knoas raised in the sea of trees, so I'ht with insects, but even so a lot of Arachne-san」

Also, they strangely felt like they had their oill Countless will at that Shia whispered so inside her heart while giving Hajiaze

「……Hajime-san had crio out of her roo that looked like gap inside the rooh planks nailed on them so that transmutation wouldn't work and she holed up inside there Just like how Goddess A inside the Heavenly Rock Cave, it was a hardship to make Shizuku come out

「Of all people Hajime-san showed it to Shizuku-san whose reaction is the ?」

「I' about that You see, Shuuzou-san said toa huge underground space?』, so I used a lot of Arachne for construction work but……」

「Shizuku-san unexpectedly encountered them, is that it?」

「They had just finished the first phase and they were returning fro out in large aarden, she saw theate to teleport inside Shizuku's room and persuaded her there, but it felt like it would have the opposite effect instead, so Hajiashi-style did various things under the operation that was na miss), Heavenly Rock Cave Operation!』 so that she would coashi-style were proficient in doing performance Very much so To the level that ap of her door and thought「What? What are they doing? Why are they looking like they have sothat kind of story, Shia directed a pitying gaze to the far away Japan while thinking that next time she would let Shizuku fluffed at her rabbit ears to her heart's content

But, at that time a commotion suddenly entered Shia's rabbit ears 「Oh?」 When she turned her gaze to the direction of the coners were already gathering around Triana unnoticed

「Haji around the boat you know?」

「H because its color is different froic power, so no matter what they do it's impossible to steal it」

「That's true」

Shia also returned to hera bit curious What bothered her was because they didn't look like tourist……

Or rather, they didn't even look like respectable people Several of the the aura that was unique to people ere fah, there was no way they could becoh it didn't bother her

But, it seehly strungwas pointing at Triana while asking so to a man nearby who seemed to be a local

The local male shook his head, but when he called out to other people who seeh they looked puzzled they still pointed at Haji their h they wasn't a hundred percent sure, those two ht be the owner of Triana

There was also a man ell-featured face like an actor besideWhen he looked at Hajiaze stopped on Shia And then he raised a voice of adhly strung" and the "sham actor" in the lead, a man who looked like a secretary and fivetoward the terrace in group

「Uhee They are co here Hajime-san」

「Leave it to me I'm often told recently that I have "become mellow"I'll show you how I settle this amicably with a peaceful and cultured communication」

「I soic "Future Sight" didn't activate This was this thing that was commonly referred as "pretend" It could also be called cliché

"Highly strung" wasa rude entrance into the terrace And then, as soon as he stood in front of the two's table,

「Oi, you two Is that boat yours? I'll buy it with cash This is enough right?」

Without letting the other party getting a say, he slapped a roll of banknotes loudly on the table His voice was likehard Fro their opinion, it see that there was no way his de eyes turned toward the ly behind hi ainst such person, Haji" lost strength in his waist! The fiendish eye gleam that would make even yakuza to run away barefooted tor" with so uards' hand moved to their waist or their breast pocket reflexively

But, before they could take out so, Shia's voice resounded

「Hajime-san! Hajime-san! You're a peaceful and cultured person!」

「Oops」

Hajime patted his own face What next appeared was an expression that was truly gentle and peaceful If they hadn't seen the evil countenance just a moment before, then they would surely think that it was truly the aht now that change instead made it scarier

「I'm really sorry, but I have no plan to sell that boat If it's boat you want there are a lot of other boats, how about you take a look at another place?」

「Hih!?」

The "highly strung" was backing ahile still sitting on the ground

「……Shia, what is the ht? Why is that guy scared?」

「That's obviously because Hajime-san showed him what lies behind that smile first」

Hajiet it' caused Shia to ht man retort to hiies, to suddenly intrude without even introducing ourselves The one losing his legs there is Brandon While I am Wilford Nice to make your acquaintance」

The sham actor also known as Wilford put his hand on his chest and respectfully──or rather, with a gesture that was excessively theatrical he greeted with a bow

「To be able to encounter a Japanese youngaura and a beautiful lady like yourself in this kind of place, truly a travel is really a good thing」

The smile looked appropriate on the man He looked like he was familiar with his own charm If looked from nearby, he was truly a handsome man that would e must be around the early thirty He also had adult sex appeal that if it was a norirl their cheeks would redden unconsciously

Wilford sently Because Shia's hand was at the direction where his hand was going, perhaps he was intending tothe back of the hand"

「??」

Shia was plainly puzzled and she put the fish her fork stabbed on Wilford's palourmet and he wanted to say to her 「That fish look delicious so share it with me」

Hajime almost snorted reflexively, while Wilford's expression itching Even so he said 「This is, thank you so uts was quite soh And, Mr Wilford Is your business the same like that that man said before?」

「Unfortunately for the two of you, that's correct No matter ish to purchase that splendid boat from the two of you Can I please ask you to somehow acco price Of course, there will be lih……」

Wilford said that then he took out a check fro thely lavish attitude

「We are a research team from Reletense company Brandon is the researcher, while I……am someone like a businessman This will fall under necessary expense so write down your price without reservation」

Haji with jesting attitude

「If this isn't a personal project then you should be co like negotiation of boat transaction? It should be soht?」

「There is an unexpected situation Life is so to an unforeseen bad direction We have secured boats to so, a boat with good perforement or perhaps it was the local people who broke the contract in the last moment In any case, it seemed they lacked the nuht sight before If Wilford and his group were riding inside those, then certainly they must have quite the number of personnel and equipment If their people here weren't all of thee research teah, Hajime's ansas decided Nolike a boat that wasit to them

「My bad I want to cooperate here but, that boat is specially made I cannot hand it over no matter how muchabout it?」

Wilford asked doggedly His words were polite His face was also s froerous than Mr Brandon

「I told you already, it's impossible If it's boat then there are a lot here Look for it at other place」

「Your boat is good I only looked briefly, but with the condition of all the boats here, it won't be strange if they breakdown anytiood boats, but we don't want to waste that much time」

「I understand your circu Haji 「Oo~, Haji other ords!」 Was that how ht was negotiation = violence…… Hajiht that if it's Japanese person then costers these days is bad at reading the atmosphere No, peace idiot always exist anywhere Perhaps it can't be helped that you are lacking in sense of danger」

A cold gaze was poured froaze could even be called inhuaze directed at them would tre toward Shia

Wilford's fingertip e bodied and tough looking man caun there

「What do you think? For the sake of your lovely lover too, won't you allow this negotiation to end up productively by allit with threat though?」

Hajily Wilford's eyes narrowed slowly The bodyguard wasto circle behind Shia

It was unthinkable that they would shoot in un muzzle from nearby and threatened so they h

「Good grief, it's unbelievable that these guys are corporate worker Or perhaps is your co?」

「Noonder about that──」

Wilford showed a cruel s that was put on the table

「……」

「Even if I shot you guys death right now, looking fro in your pocket, it will be undoubtedly a justified self-defense After all we here are a young couple While your side is a anization There is also a lot of witnesses seeing you guys surrounding us like this」

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the bizarre large revolver No matter how they looked, it was a custom made order, what'swas, even though they were all paying attention to Hajiun until the moment he pulled it out

「……I think that you should put the nuh?」

「I absolutely don't care」

The sound of gulping saliva could be heard frouards

At the sa from Hajime Certainly, the mood that difference in nu the air

「……Who are you? Don't tellfor "that" just like us?」

「? That?」

「Chih So it's only a case of us pulling a bad card huh Really, life is so to unexpected direction」

Wilford clicked his tongue, then his hand esture to back doith his expression looked like he had bitten souards pulled back slowly

「Sorry to have bothered you We will look for boat at other place」

「……I see What's important is that we can understand each other」

Wilford shrugged his shoulders, then he easily turned around and left Brandon followed behind hi the restaurant while staying on guard against Hajime until the end

「What's with those people I wonder」

「Who knows In any case, they aren't decent people for sure Nothing beats not getting involved with the sadly at the food that had beco

Shia also followed suit and resu inside her heart

(Nohas just been raised desuu We are absolutely going to get involved with those people again! Because, this is Haji about!)

The future prediction of Shia whose vocation was "Fortune Teller" was……no, even if it wasn't Shia, anyone who knew Hajime could easily predict that

The correctness of that prediction……

Would be proven as early as today
