「….Eh, what kind of situation is this?」
Trying to catch up and organize my head, I grumbled so in a deadpan voice,
I defeated Cheryl with 「Evening Snake」and argued with Chester because he was saying that I stole the technique, waking Cheryl up──
Umu, certainly there were some circumstances, but how did it come to this point?
Right now, I──no, we are sitting in the dining room of Chester’s residence. After the match, I was invited for a meal and walked down a long corridor and came here.
With such an elaborate floor plan, and many works of art that were full of the beauty of an elf, I wondered if this old man was really still an elf.
However, this was downright wasted space. In this dining room, there were three people sitting down; Chester, Cheryl, and I. That is to say, it was going to be a pain to count the number of seats in this dining room, as there were too many chairs to count. (TLN: He said 3 people sitting down because he was too lazy to say 3/xxx chairs or something. Or so I presume.)
Though I don’t know how many times I thought of this mansion, it is really a waste.
….Iya, I’ll stop it. (TLN: His ranting.)
The way one spends one’s money is up to oneself. Although it certainly wasn’t my hobby, I don’t dare criticize it anymore, as long as one thought it was worth it.
Above all──
「Guu….Cheryl, can you let go of that guy and come sit next to ojii-chan?」
「No….I don’t want to leave Slava-kun’s side….」
When I tried to think of measures to overcome this situation, nothing came to mind.
Towards me, who was being embraced by Cheryl, Chester could only look at me murderously and grit his teeth, bitter tears seemingly about to come out at any moment.
….Really, what is this. It’s like I’m in hell.
「Oi Slava~aaaaa….! That’s annoying you?
That’s why, Cheryl, get away from Slava──」
「No. Slava-kun isn’t unpleasant, I don’t want to let go….」
While pinching my cheeks, Cheryl stuck her tongue out towards Chester.
The grip gradually strengthened, and was now enough to strangle a bear to death.
….It’s good to be tempered. The status right now was something along the lines of a bad comedy, but I was a very ordinary boy, so this was bound to end up in tragedy.
Maa, the gaze of Chester, who had his granddaughter stolen away, was already a murderer’s gaze.
If Chester explodes in this kind of situation, it will become troublesome.
I want to go return to the dormitory of the academy, but the right now….
「Fufu, as expected, Slava isn’t broken….good….」
The girl who was clinging onto me like a cat was indeed, as expected, was unbearable.
….Though I felt that this was more of a lion than cat when thinking about the power being used.
It was a power used to strangle someone to death, but there wasn’t any malicious intent coming from Cheryl. If this was done subconsciously, then was it really necessary to be in contact with someone.
「Chester~yo, shouldn’t you pay more attention to your granddaughter?」
「It can’t be helped that I’m always moving around….trying to shamelessly tell me that….!」
….This is useless. The intention behind the question wasn’t transmitted.
Blood rushed to the head.
「Hey, Cheryl. Grandpa is feeling lonely.
How about you come over here?」
「….No. ….But, if Slava-kun thinks that, ‘it’s unpleasant’….
Slava-kun, do you dislike me….?」
I don’t hate it, but it honestly is annoying.
