Kuishinbo Elf - CH 62

Spoiled Child

We waited for … about 15 minutes. We have finally entered the shop.

Inside the sweet smelling store, cute decorations are set up. Their colors are based off of white and pink. And, on the display shelves, a lot of pudding are lined up.

The shelves are magic items that make use of Free Space to preserve freshness. In other words… it is a Free Space where you can see the insides.

Originally, only the user can open or close their Free Space, but with this shelf, anyone can take things out of it, or put things in. Because of that, its price is quite high.

「Oh! Welcome! ! It’s been a while, Kuishinbo-chan?」

Short cropped black hair and a chef’s hat. Thick manly eyebrows, and eyes that show a strong will. A tough body and a feminine way of speaking. And the manager who is rumored to have a pure heart welcomed me.

「Hey, manager. It’s been a while.」

I returned a greeting to the manager. Although he talks like this, he isn’t gay. His clothes are normal, those meant for males, and he isn’t acting delicately. Only his speech is feminine.

In the past, I was interested and asked, but…

The manager was born as the youngest child of 5 sisters. He had a good physique, is serious and good at looking after others, so while he was looking after his sloppy sisters, his speech became feminine.

While laughing he said,「At the very least, if I had a little brother… maybe I wouldn’t become like this?」

「Which pudding-chan would you like today?」

「Of course, it is custard pudding.」

The manager gave a smile. Following, I also gave a smile.

「You’re going to meet your papan and maman?」

「Ahh… I’m going so I can get spoiled.」

After saying「Go get spoiled a lot」, he patted my head. And then, he put nine custard puddings into a bag.

「Here, nine custard puddings.」

「Thank you!」

I took out my wallet and gave the manager the money.

「Yes, thank you. Nfufu… then, take care.」

The manager saw me off while waving his hand. Everytime I come here… it always go something like this.

There is another reason for me to choose pudding as a present.

The puddings here are actually papan and maman’s favorite.

… However, me too!

Because of that, everytime I go home I’d often come here to buy pudding.

「Now, let’s go? Eltina-sama.」

「Ah, let’s go Nesha-san.」

While holding hands, we headed where papan and maman are waiting. A peaceful time passes by…

◆◆◆

「You came, Eltina.」

「Welcome back, Eltina.」

Papan and maman were waiting in the living room. Yep, it’s great to see that those two are doing fine.

「I’m home.」

After giving my greeting, I rushed towards the two of them. And then… papan got me!

C…crap! This position is for papan’s special attack! 『Hell’s Prickly Beard』! !

Papan is getting closer for a cheek rubbing. My cheek is stimulated by the scrapping. Ouch! ? My cheek is getting shaved off! ?

Torture… known as 『love』 continued for a while, but after papan noticed maman’s jealous face he released me.

Fuu, it was dangerous… I thought that I was done for. I like papan, but that beard attack… is tough.

This time, maman embraced me. She has a fluffy, warm, nice smell. I plunged my face into maman’s chest.

At first, of course I thought… geh! But we’re both girls so it’s probably fine! ? My thoughts had been reflected onto my actions, but… right now it’s a bit different.

It is somehow relaxing, the sound of her heart beating at a set rhythm. Whenever I feel unease or sad… I go meet maman and have her do this.

I who am satisfied, lift my face up and smiled. Maman also smiled.

Whenever I’m with papan and maman… I feel like my mental age becomes the same as my body. Is it because I’m completely relaxed and feel relieved? It’s not a bad feeling.

Our happy time passed by slowly…

◆◆◆

「How did it become like this?」

Currently I had become a dress-up doll. My body was thoroughly invaded by the beautiful and colorful dresses.

「Ahh… It looks good on you, Eltina! Isn’t this one great too?」

「Ohh! It’s good… green suits you!」

Papan brought in a green and white lolita style dress. From awhile ago I feel like I’m only putting on fluffy clothings…? Well, it’s fine… I’m already used to it. (White eyes)

「Ara… I knew it, it suits you!」

「Ahh… it’s cute, Eltina.」

I was dressed in the green and white lolita style dress. I did small spin.

When I turned to my side… I saw my reflection in a large mirror.

…Hmm, not bad.

「Ohh… you like it? It’s showing on your face.」

Really! ? I quickly touch my cheeks with my hands. Hmm, did I awaken my fashion sense?

… Me! ?

Before coming to this world… on my holidays I would just wear one running shirt and  pants. I’m also the type to who doesn’t care that I wear the same clothes every time I head out…

… I don’t understand. Even now, there are times where I wear the same clothes… but the amount of clothes I own had certainly increased.

Well, it’s not a bad thing. Let’s just say that I lose if I mind it too much.

「Uooooohh! Did I make it! ?」

Bang! The door suddenly opened and Liot-nii came in.

「Nii-san, knock before you come in… that’s bad manner?」

Following, Lucas-nii also came in. It seems that they were in a rush.

「Ohh, what is it? Liot… it seems that you were in a rush?」

「Yes, Father! I’ve finally, finally completed this… 」

What Liot-nii took out from a bag was… a red, black and golden goth lolita.

… Again.

「… Good job! It’s a splending clothing! I’m impressed! !」

「Yes, I asked my tailor acquaintance to make it… without minding the cost.」

Papan and Liot-nii… hugged each other without saying anything. Within the silence was a friendship between men.

「I had also prepared the Flash Draw Machine.」(T.N. Reminder, that is a camera.)

Lucas-nii’s hand is tightly holding onto a Light Draw Machine. Their preparedness… isn’t something to laugh at!

I changed into the goth lolita that Liot-nii brought. I feel like it’s fine for me to name myself as the『Crimson Lightning』now!

「Fuu… It’s perfect, El! Perfect! !」

「Ohh, that dress suits you too! Your white skin is glowing… 」

「E… Eltina… 」

Liot-nii appears to be satisfied, maman seems to be enjoying this and papan who is for some reason shedding manly tears. Lucas-nii is busy taking pictures of me with the Flash Draw Machine. It’s too fast, there probably be blurry images…

The Dress Changing Event is finally charging into a dangerous territory…

◆◆◆

After I’ve returned to my room… I continued my daily training.

Man, I’m completely beat! If maman didn’t blow away papan and Liot-nii who were going out of control, I would’ve been forced to put on some outrageous clothes. Specifically… Oops! I shouldn’t say it!

After this and that, I ate dinner with everyone… and after eating the pudding as dessert, I’ve returned to my room in the Healer’s Association

So, right now… I’m about to begin my push-ups. Let’s do this!

「…One!」

…Pesha.

Push-ups… Failed! Next, sit-ups! ! Let’s do this! !

「… Nine!」

Dosaa.

Nine sit-ups, reached!

「Fuuuuuu… Today I’m doing great!」

It is no longer a world of self-satisfaction, but… at first I was only able to do three sit-ups. Push-ups… are that, as time pass I’d be able to do it. Hahaha… (Trembling Voice)

To finish everything, I eat a Peachy-sensei.

「Itadakimasu!」

*Crunch*! *Chew*, *chew*… *Swallow*!

「Deli~sh!」

I feel relieve from the never changing deliciousness. And after the first bite, I wolfed down the rest.

「Thank you for the food.」

Only Peachy-sensei’s seed remain in my hands. Normally, I’d throw it into a garbage can after thanking it, but…

If I plant this seed, would it sprout? I’m curious…

「Alright, let’s plant it!」

I headed towards the vacant lot in the back.

Wait… it’d be bad if I leave with just my panty. Immediately after I left my room, I noticed my own figure. I quickly returned and changed.

This time I headed towards the vacant lot. It is quite bright with the moonlight… but even if it is dark it isn’t a problem for me. Because of my racial characteristic, I can see perfectly even in the dark.

「I think it was here… that receives good sunlight?」

I used Earth Break on the ground and buried Peachy-sensei’s seed into the hole that was opened. In order for me to not forgot where I buried the seed, I surrounded the spot with pebbles. Then, I filled the watering can that has a small hole on the bottom and sprinkled it.

After this… it’s that ritual! !

From the corner I picked up an umbrella that is filled with holes and opened it. I then stood in front of the spot where I buried the seed and… I vigorously raised the umbrella.

「N~~~~~~~… bah! !」

Yes, I’m imitating the forest fairy, but is actually a spirit.

… This is unexpecting tiring! ?

(T.N. A Totoro reference. It took me 30 minutes of googling with different combination of keywords to find out that this is a Totoro reference because I’ve never watched it.)

「N~~~~~~~~~~~~~~bah! !」

Ha… hang in there! Me ! Don’t lose to lactic acids! My arm!  (ed: lactic acid build up basically means you got arthritis)

「N… baba! !」

… It feels a bit off, but it is definitely just my imagination. (Fatigue)

「Fuu… If I’ve done this much, it should be fine.」

After I became satisfied, I returned to my room and crawled into my bed.

Because of my fatigue, I fell asleep the second I closed my eyes… Z Z Z.
