「Kuu, I know you want to get along but to go that far…」
From there, Elucie’s central leadership functioned around three people, with the two of us being behind the stage talking.
About Kuu being friendly with Roreu, since it’s important for the future of Elucie I should be mediating the introduction.
It was surprising to find that Kuu is good at sucking up to people, along with having a disposition of being a good listener. She can quickly draw out information from the other party.
With just getting on someone’s good side and pouring sake, the other party would get into a good mood.
「Yes, I’m reflecting on what I did. It’s just Roreu-sama taking a liking to me, was surprising for me too.」
Seeing me angry made Kuu downhearted.
「Roreu was about to propose to you, you know. If you refused, it would put yourself in a corner.」
「That wasn’t my intention you know. I was just trying to have a normal conversation.」
「Roreu’s talk is annoying. There isn’t any decent girl that would listen to him, and to be a little gentle would invite more trouble than it’s worth.」
「Even if it’s my fault…」
Kuu’s fox ears drooped down.
Seeing that I couldn’t help but cave in. It certainly was a cruel accusation, even though she was doing her job perfectly.
「Sorry, it was just a little weird seeing you talking with Roreu. I’m not sure why I got a little irritated by it. He just has that kind of prideful face that just makes you want to punch him.」
That must to be the reason… To be worked up from just listening to all that long drawn out bragging…
「That, Cyril-kun, could it be… Your jealous?」
Hearing that made my heart make a loud thump.
「That can’t be, that couldn’t be the case right.」
「Is that so?♪ I get it.」
For some reason, denying it put Kuu in a good mood.
「About the Elves being a different race, I thought they would have more self-control… But that isn’t so, is it.」
「I wonder if it’s because we’re people too. There are elves who think tails and animal ears are no good, they think unless they’re Elves, all others are disgusting.」
I’m not worried about the younger generation, from a long time ago there have been cultural exchanges between villagers and other races adopting Elves, like an Elf son in law.
In previous times, there were occasions of travelers dropping by and love just happening, in those cases they would end up settling in the village. Travelers that couldn’t be trusted were not allowed to leave, because there were guys who would come to get close, aiming for magic stones.
「Cyril-kun, what do you think? Is something like a tail okay?」
Kuu comes and spins her behind to me with her tail shaking about, even within the Firefox family, that was an especially beautiful golden colored tail that swayed around.
「I think it’s cute, you know.」
「If that’s the case, what do you think of ears?」
This time she moved her face close and flapped her ears.
「It’s very becoming of Kuu, I like it you know.」
「Is that so, I’m glad then.」
Kuu expressed a smile across her whole face.
I might be in trouble here, Kuu is just way too cute.
「Kuu, it’s not necessary to suck up to me you know.」
「I’m not sucking up to you, you know. And anyway for you to be concerned for me, even if you are playing the good guy, I know you weren’t doing it as a favor to me, please believe me.」
My heart is beating fast for some reason, Kuu is two times cuter than usual and I am fighting an irresistible urge to hug her.
「Cyril, Kuu-chan. It’s time, let’s get ready soon.」
I think I hear Lucie’s voice, and then she comes to the back of the stage.
Kuu and I with faces still staring at each other went rigid.
For some reason, I had that kind of feeling as if I was in an affair, a salaryman dating my mistress while walking on the street happens to run into my wife who was casually shopping.
