Chapter 620: 620

Walking out of Elise’ store, I slowly walked down the main street again . The results of the fortune-telling were worrisome, but Elise said that fortune-telling was just one of the guidelines for the future, so there was no need to be overly conscious of it .

I didn’t want to just leave after getting free fortune-telling though, so I bought a few items that seemed to be charms of this world .

When I first entered her store, Elise had a complicated look on her face, but when I was about to leave, she said “If you’re going to come back as a customer, you’re more than welcome”, so I think we got along a little better .

Well, that aside, what should I do now? Should I go check out Alice’s store as usual? No, well, Alice herself will come out as soon as I call her but…… Somehow, when I hang out with Alice, I end up visiting her miscellaneous goods store . Even with all her antics, I feel comfortable hanging around in that store .

As I was leisurely walking along, thinking about such things, I saw a familiar figure walking in my direction from the corner of my eye .

[Fufufu, marshmallow~~ Delishy delish marshma……]

The person who was walking along with a cute little bottle in hand, humming in a way that seemed to express her good mood, stiffened as if she had just been petrified by the gorgon .

[……………… . . ]

[……………… . . ]

After an incredibly heavy silence, the person turned so pale that it was pitiful to watch, and she began to sweat profusely .

[……Ummm, errr, I didn’t see anything, yes . W- What a coincidence, meeting you here, Luna-san . ]

[Y- Yes, you’re right . ]

Yes, what appeared in front of me was Luna-san, not wearing her usual maid uniform, but instead, she’s wearing casual wear .

From the way she was dressed, it seemed that Luna-san had a day off today . And thus, she went shopping in the city, bought some marshmallows, which were probably her favorite food, and was returning home in a good mood when she ran into me……

[Are you shopping?]

[Yes, ummm……]

[……Do you like marshmallows?]

[S- Somewhat……]

I tried to keep the conversation going, but Luna-san’s pale expression and averted gaze made it difficult for me to continue .

I had already guessed from the situation that Luna-san liked marshmallows, and the fact that she had come to buy them was not strange in itself .

The subject of the matter here though was the mysterious song she was singing in a very good mood .

If I didn’t know Luna-san well, Luna-san’s polite language, well-groomed appearance and her behavior as a maid combined would have given me the impression that she was a cool lady .

However, she is actually quite childish on the inside . She likes playing pranks, and gets worked up when she’s angry…… She hates bitter things and can’t drink coffee . And from what I heard Noir-san accidentally mutter, she apparently likes plushies .

Well, even though Luna-san was such a person, she is embarrassed about this side of her, and as was the case during the Karaoke Battle, it makes her feel very uncomfortable when she’s seen like this .

[……Miyama-sama, I have a suggestion to make . ]

[Eh? Ah, yes . What is it?]

[You like drinking hot milk, right?]

[Y- Yes, I do like them . ]

[If you have the time, why don’t you stop by for a while since my home is nearby? I also have some delicious pastries prepared . ]

[Ehh? Ah, yes . If it’s not too much trouble……]

I nodded my head in response to Luna-san’s sudden suggestion . To be honest, I don’t understand the purpose of this suggestion . The flow of the conversation is just too strange for her to simply invite me to her home .

In that case, her purpose perhaps isn’t to invite me, but to treat me to hot milk and some pastries? Even so, I still don’t understand why .

[In return, I want you to erase from your memory what just happened and not tell anyone about it . ]

[……I understand . ]

I see, it’s an exchange condition huh . Come to think of it, I remembered that Luna-san had once offered me an exchange deal already, in exchange for not making fun of my dislike for bell peppers, I shouldn’t pursue her dislike of bugs .

Perhaps, she is trying to make an exchange condition when she asks for something from the other party . Luna-san is a former adventurer…… It’s a job where trust seems to be important, so it’s possible that this exchange had become a habit from back when she was an adventurer .
