Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

Natsume Takashi was sitting on a stool. In front of him was Yun Ci who was applying medicine on his arm, and next to him was Aunt Tazi who had a worried look in her eyes.

"Let's make some tea to prevent heat stroke later."

Natsume Takashi thanked him and comforted him again.

Fortunately, he seemed to be in good spirits, so Fujiwara Touko felt relieved. However, she still refused Natsume Takashi's request to help clean up the seafood, and asked Yun Ci to go and rest with Natsume Takashi.

"The seafood is almost ready. I'll call you when it's done."

Yunci and Natsume Takashi insisted on staying, so Aunt Tazi gave up, and the three of them packed up the ingredients for the seafood hotpot together.

When Fujiwara Shige came back, the room was filled with the smell of rice.

"smell good."

The three people waiting in the room all looked over and spoke in gentle tones.

"Welcome back--"

Eat and drink enough.

Yun Ci and Natsume Takashi went out for a walk after dinner.

Only then did Natsume Takashi tell Yun Ci what happened today.

"——A monster from the underwater village?"

Natsume Takashi nodded: "The monster was bounced away by the little tree doll, but the little tree doll has become much older."

He looked quite pitiful.

Yun Ci tilted her head: "Isn't it enough to have a real little tree by your side? Guizhi, you are so greedy that you actually want two."

Natsume Takashi blushed: "That's not what I meant, I..."

"Alright, alright—" Yun Ci deliberately dragged out the tone, "I understand—"

Natsume Takashi met Yun Ci's smiling eyes and immediately realized that she was teasing him again.

With a bit of reluctance that he himself didn't understand, he said, "The little tree doll can always stay with me, but the little tree can't, right?"

"So—is Takashi confessing his feelings?"

Natsume Takashi paused slightly.

Yunci leaned closer: "Takashi, do you hope that our future will be like Auntie Tazi and Uncle Shige's?"

Under the moonlight, the girl's bright eyes seemed to be able to see into his heart.

Natsume Takashi lowered his eyes slightly, then looked at Yun Ci again.

"Didn't we make this promise when we were kids?"

——To be together forever.

"We will have a home that belongs to both of us, a place that belongs only to us, a place where we can feel at ease and where the little tree can take root—"

"I was the one who broke the promise. I'm sorry. Thank you for not blaming me."

After meeting again, I am still willing to continue to get along with him and treat him so gently——

Natsume Takashi held out his hand: "So, are you still willing to 'take root' here with me?"

The boy was a little nervous, probably because he was worried about the farewell that was not his original intention.

Yun Ci put her hand over it without hesitation, her voice gentle.

"Of course, the little tree has already taken root there. It has never moved."

Natsume Takashi held the girl's hand tightly, his nervousness dissipated and he revealed a bright smile.

Yun Ci took a step forward and patted Natsume Takashi's back with her other hand: "Then please give me your guidance, boyfriend? Or - do you prefer the name of fiancé?"

Natsume Takashi buried his head in Yunci's shoulder: "Is this okay? You are eliminating the possibility of having other choices."

"Eh?" Yun Ci smiled, "Could it be that our little sun has other ideas?"

Natsume Takashi quietly interlocked his hands with Yunci's fingers: "No, the little sun only wants to shine on you, the little tree—"

The next day, Natsume Takashi and Yun Ci found time and went to the underwater village together to meet the swift trapped underwater.

Yunci performed the work of a matchmaker for the first time in a long time and helped Yuyan realize her wish to thank her savior.

Of course, Yun Ci did not miss the Futaba Festival held by the monsters. She attended with her new boyfriend, Natsume Takashi, and won a yukata that could transform monsters into humans, although only for one night.

Although Yuyan's wish has been fulfilled by Yunci using other methods, it is still useful to keep this yukata. Maybe in the future she will meet other monsters who need it and want to form a relationship with her.

Even if there are no other monsters in need, Yunci can give it to Ichihara Yuuko. Her wish shop will definitely be able to use it.

The news that they were together was not hidden from Aunt Tazi and Uncle Zi. The two elders were very happy about their relationship and celebrated it that night.

School day.

The school organized a training camp at Ganba Hot Springs.

This was the first time for Yun Ci and Natsume Takashi to take such a trip. They were both so excited that they went to bed very late the day before and slept together in the car the next day.

Although Natsume Takashi felt a little guilty because Uncle Shige paid for the training camp.

"We are a family, and we don't need to care about these things, right?"

The night before the hot spring training session, Yun Ci hugged the boy to comfort him.

But she understood that this had become a habit for the boy.

Yunci would not force Natsume Takashi to change. After all, if you really count it, Natsume Takashi and the Fujiwara family have not been together for long.

Look, Natsume Takashi didn’t even formally introduce Madara to Aunt Takiko.

Human beings, we always have to get along with each other slowly.

However, in the morning, Natsume Takashi put on a smile and looked very happy.

Yun Ci asked and found out that Uncle Zi had ordered tea bowls on the mountain near the hot spring. Natsume Takashi was going there, so Uncle Zi asked Natsume Takashi to help get them back.

——So you are happy to be asked to do something for you.

Yunci couldn't help but rub Natsume Takashi's face: "So cute, little sun."

Madara, who had crawled into the bag at some point, couldn't help but say, "What a scary laugh."

Yun Ci and Natsume Takashi both looked at Madara who was always elusive.

"Nakamiya?! When—" Natsume Takashi raised his bag and looked at the cat's head with only the head exposed, feeling a little helpless. "It's still the same as always, don't talk in front of everyone!"

Madara: "Meow!"

Yun Ci reached out and took Ban out, then was startled for a moment.

"Banara, you've gained weight."

"What?!" Ban shuddered, "How is it possible! This is the weight of the cat's shell itself!"

Yun Ci reached out and pinched the cat's belly, shaking it.

Madara was stunned into silence.

Natsume Takashi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha——Teacher Cat, you——"

Yun Ci also laughed.

As the two people laughed, Madara's head turned red quickly, visibly.

"You two—!"

The cat roared with a red face, then smashed its head towards Natsume Takashi.

Yun Ci hurriedly pulled Natsume Takashi and trotted towards the station.

"Hurry up, you're going to be late—"

Ban jumped forward and chased after him.

"stop!"

"You two, stop!"

"How dare you laugh at the great Madara-sama? I will teach you a lesson!"

The clear laughter of the young boy and girl echoed all around, and the cat behind them ran very fast, and the occasional "meow meow meow" sound was heard. You could tell that the cat was really swearing very dirty.

Ban: Cursing!
