Me, Kayu and Shinomi are nervous and peeking around.
What for? It is, of course, to keep an eye on Shehan, who is dressed up. Luma and Rumiha, who are child griffons, are also watching together.
Perhaps it is because they are girls that they are interested in love. They seem to be holding back their cries of "gurukku" so that Shehan and the others don't notice. Cute.
Shehan-san looks awkward, as if he is not used to wearing a skirt. It is a small village, so when someone does something differently, it immediately attracts attention.
The spirits and others are gathering around to see what's what. Everyone is looking at me, and it is natural for Shehan to be embarrassed. I would have been a little surprised too if I had been the center of attention like this.
Irum-san can see spirits, and I think he might be surprised to see so many spirits gathered here.
Kayu and Shinomi are talking about Shehan-san, saying that she is cute and that girls in love are cute after all. It is true that Ms. Shehan is cute waiting for Mr. Illume to come.
I wonder if she will become cute like this when she finds someone she loves. I wonder if I will feel like that someday. But right now, rather than that kind of love, I'm more interested in how cute the little griffons are who are peeking around with me. I wonder if I am still a child.
Ah!
Mr. Iloum came over to me. Irum was surprised by the spirits flying around ...... rather than looking at Shehan. The first thing to do is to look at Sheehan rather than at the spirits.
Well, Irume.
Yes, Mr. Shehan. Mr. Shehan. What is the matter with you that the spirits are gathered like this? And you're dressed like that: ......
Well, is there a genie? I can't see them, so I'm going to ....... Well, this, uh, this looks good on me, doesn't it?
Uh, yes. Yes, it does. I think it looks good on you. You look different from usual.
I see.
I hear the conversation between Ms. Iloum and Mr. Shehan.
'Not Mr. Iloum. She is not delicatessen. It's fine to say that it looks good on you, but a girl should be praised for being pretty if she's made it pretty properly. I can't see the spirits, but no matter how much I can see them, I can't look at them and not praise them.
Kayu, be quiet. You're going to hear them. The most important thing to remember is that you are the one who thinks of Lelunda and the spirits first, so it can't be helped.
I wonder what will happen. ......
"What is delicacy?"
"Gurururu."
We sneak a peek while talking secretly. There are people who are sneaking a peek besides us. If Shehan was dressed differently than usual, it would stand out that much more.
What's the matter with you spirits?
"Oh, Mr. Shehan is talking about me?
Some of the spirits were revealing Shehan's feelings to Iloum. Maybe the spirits don't understand such a story of human feelings.
"Ahhh, let's see.... Illume! I like Illume. I like her, in a male-female sense. So, you know, be my lover."
Sheehan, perhaps because the ...... genie had revealed it to him, shouted as if in desperation. Oh, I was a little surprised that he would suddenly confess.
Kayu was about to scream. Shinomi panicked and covered her mouth.
I was also flabbergasted, wondering what Illume would say. I had planned to dress up a little cute and make her aware of me, so I didn't think I would suddenly confess to her like this.
I am a man of God and of Lelunda. I am a servant of God and Lelunda-sama, so I don't think about such a thing.
Wait a minute, Mr. Illume! That's not going to happen. The girl is trying very hard to confess her feelings to you, so you should think more about it! Do you like her or not, do you want to go out with her or not!
Oh ...... I noticed that Kayu was jumping out of her skin.
As someone who is also in love, she wasn't satisfied with Illume's answer. But yes, I do. I don't know anything about love, but since I said I love you, I want you to answer me properly, I'm sure.
"Kayu? What is it? I have decided to offer myself for the sake of Lelunda-sama. Everything I do is an offering to God. It is not right for a servant of God to go out with you..."
"Lelunda! Lelunda has no problem with Ilum going out with someone, right?
"Ummm, yes. I don't have any problem with it. Even though I'm serving God, I'm free to go out with anyone I want.
I answered, startled by Kayu's sudden shout. When Mr. Illume saw me, he was in a hurry to worship me, but I stopped him. I didn't mean to jump out like this,......," she said with a slightly distant look in her eyes as she stared at Mr. Illume.
I looked at him with a faraway look in my eyes. I don't care if you're serving God or offering yourself to me, I want you to put it all out of your mind and think about it.
Yeah, that's all I can say. I think you should put those feelings of serving God, or God's children, or whatever aside for now, and think about it properly, and then give me your answer.
I understand. If that's how you feel, Lelunda-sama, please contact me at ....... Mr. Shehan.
Oh.
I have never thought about such a thing before, so I will think about it.
Ah!
I'm not sure what will happen to the two of them from now on, but I'm sure they'll make progress.
I don't know what will happen to these two from now on, but I guess I can say that they have made progress. I will keep an eye on them from time to time.
It may not change right away, but I hope that their relationship will change into something satisfactory for both of them.
