After introducing Clan to the shopkeeper, Elfaria returned to the storefront so she could talk to Koutarou who was curiously staring at the items on display.
“As expected from Forthorthe... they're just selling robots like its normal...”
“Welcome customer. I am Weyland, a domestic robot made by DKI. A new model released this spring!”
What interested him the most was a humanoid robot. In the store, there were all kinds of heavy equipment and heavy machinery, with various robots being exhibited. Amongst them, Koutarou was talking to a domestic robot.
“Oh, Reios-sama, do you like robots?”
“Yeah. In our world, fiction regarding robots are very popular with the kids. And when I was small, I loved watching shows where they had people control giant robots to fight monsters.”
“I see... giant robots...”
Elfaria cheerfully smiled. Her chest leaped for joy every time she learned of a part of Koutarou that wasn't part of the Blue Knight, a part that existed outside of the path set for him.
“How regrettable. It seems that I cannot live up to the customer's expectations.”
Meanwhile, the robot called Weyland dropped its shoulders, its reaction was quite the opposite of Elfaria's.
“What kind of robot are you?”
“I was made to perform chores for people too busy to do them themselves. Our company has always been distant from the war industries, so when it comes to domestic use we are the best.”
“Sorry, but we're doing okay on our chores.”
Koutarou remembered the faces of the people in room 106. In that room, they didn't need a robot to help with the chores. While the two haniwas were technically robots, their main job was playing with Koutarou and the others.
“That's a shame.”
“That's right. I will do the chores, Reios-sama doesn't need a robot.”
“You will? Why?”
“Silly Reios-sama, what are you saying? That's a wife's job isn't it? Fufufufu.”
Elfaria laughed with an innocent expression. It was the smile of a high class young wife.
“Elle, when did you become my wife?”
Koutarou felt a headache coming on. But on the other hand, it reminded him of talking with Sanae, Yurika or Kiriha, and his feelings turned more positive. He felt a little lonely having remembered the girls of room 106, but he felt didn't feel too bad. If he excluded the part about the wife.
“Just a while ago. I made that decision.”
“Without even asking me?”
“I believe fate is something you take into your own hands.”
Elfaria asserted herself, showing a princess-like expression for a moment. Elfaria was going to use any means necessary to become Koutarou's wife.
“Don't take my fate into your hands as well.”
“Do you hate me?”
“That's not it.”
“Then there's no problem. I'm confident I'll make a great wife.”
Elfaria placed her hands on her chest and nodded. Just like she said, her expression was overflowing with confidence.
“There are major problems!”
“Reios-sama, if you marry me, you'll obtain half the galaxy! I think that's a great deal!”
“You idiot!”
A thud could be heard.
