An Elf's Request

Flip, flip... flip. In the early summer sun, I, Shina Juliel, finished reading the book I had borrowed from the library and sipped a cup of warm tea. The place is a café facing the main street of the commercial district.

"Fu... fufu~!"

As I ruminate over the contents of the book I just read, I can't help but smile, surrendering to the pleasant fatigue that comes after finishing a good book. People passing by seemed to stop and look at me, but I remained oblivious, lost in thought about the story I had just read.

It was a romance novel. A story about an awkward protagonist who meets a demihuman heroine who has drifted into a certain town and, after many twists and turns, they end up together.

It was an ordinary story, something that could be dismissed as a cheap novel. But for some reason, I was so engrossed in it that I lost track of time.

In the past, I never used to read books just for enjoyment like this. I had been desperately trying to acquire knowledge, like a cornered beast, in order to reclaim my homeland, to become stronger, and to restore my connection with the spirits that I had lost. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever come out to a crowded street like this before.

As I was thinking about this, I spotted a particular figure among the people walking down the street.

(Ah...)

I almost let out a voice. He seemed to have noticed me, and although he looked momentarily surprised, he came over to me anyway.

"Good afternoon, Shina-san. What are you doing in a place like this?"

"Good afternoon, Nozomu-kun. I was just reading a book."

In front of me was the person I wanted to see the most. Perhaps because I was aware of my feelings for him, my voice seemed to be a little higher.

"Why don't you sit down?"

"Well then, excuse me..."

As he sat across from me, I suppressed my nervousness and started chatting about trivial things.

I took another sip of the warm tea. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but it tasted much better than before.
