How did it come to this...
I hear Enya, who's walking with me, mumble something.
Why do I have to patrol with him...
Kazuto: ...Say, Enya?
Ah... Both Touka-sama and Kikyo-sama keep taking his side for some reason...
Ignoring me... (It's a bit different though)
Well, unlike last time, she's not ignoring me on purpose, she just seems to be deep in thought...
First of all, what do Touka-sama and Kikyo-sama find in this guy...
Kazuto: Ah... Enya? Hey!
I don't want to speak ill about them, but their taste in men is... (It's better than your taste in clothing)
Kazuto: Ah, really...
Because she wasn't looking where she's going, Enya hit her head by walking at the decoration hanging from the tree.
Kazuto: Hey, are you okay?
Shut up! Don't touch me!
Though she yells that, she doesn't slap my hand like she did before.
But she won't let me touch her swollen forehead and gives me a harsh look.
You could've at least warned me.
Kazuto: I did, but you ignored it.
Don't lie, I didn't hear anything.
Don't tell me you didn't say anything on purpose to watch as I make a fool out of myself.
Kazuto: How did you come to that conclusion...
That's too much of an accusation.
No, more important...
Kazuto: Is the part you hit okay? It's all swollen... let me see for a bit.
Idiot, stop! It's okay, so don't touch it. (Oh. This is an obvious tsun already)
Kazuto: You don't need to oppose it so much. I'm just being worried.
I sigh as Enya steps back while hiding her forehead with her hand.
Well, since we're finally getting along, I don't want to quarrel, so I'd rather not push it too hard...
Kazuto: By the way, are you hungry?
...Why all of sudden?
Kazuto: Well. Remember you wanting to eat more nikumans? That shop is nearby, so I thought we can drop by.
Is it your treat?
Kazuto: Yeah. Of course.
If that's the case... (This is finally getting good)
Therefore, we headed to that store, but... (Shop closed?)
Seriously. What a useless man you are.
Kazuto: It's not like it's my fault...
We had a bad timing and all those nikumans got sold out, so I ended up hearing some complaints.
Kazuto: I went and bought something different in exchange, so spare me. (Ren appears in this event, so I bet she's at fault for those nikumans)
What do you mean went and bought. You make it sound like a favor.
Kazuto: It's not a favor. I'm just saying, forgive me for that already...
Enya squared her shoulders and kept walking.
However...
She's still eating the normal nikumans I bought. (I guess they wanted some special edition she was interest in)
As I was looking at her walking side by side, it seems she noticed my gaze and frowned her eyebrows in displease.
...What are you looking at?
Kazuto: No. I just thought you're eating with an appetite.
I'm eating something tasty, so it's obvious. (A valid point, you "someone is eating" fetishist)
Kazuto: But... you looked displeased until now.
I wasn't displeased. Just...
Kazuto: ...Just?
I look at Enya, who got silent for some reason.
I noticed her forehead she hit earlier was still a bit red.
Kazuto: Doesn't it look a bit swollen after all? (You idiot... are you going to...)
Kazuto: Ah...
It probably hurt because I unconsciously reached out my head and touched it. Enya stepped away with a surprised face.
Come to think of it, Enya has a very sensitive body... (Someone should learn to control his hands)
Kazuto: Sorry. But if it hurts, you shouldn't endure. Isn't it better to cool it?
If I'm telling it's okay, it's okay! (Oh? She didn't snap?)
Kazuto: But...
You two, consider your location just a bit before you make a fuss. (A master tsundere has arrived)
Kazuto: ...Ah, Ei.
I don't know when did she arrive, but when I turned towards the voice, Ei was standing there with an amazed face.
Seriously... It's pathetic if the leaders flirt in the middle of the street...
We're not flirting! It's all his fault just now... (Takes a tsundere to recognize a tsun act without problem)
No matter how it is to you, it looks like lovers playing around from the side.
What!?
Kazuto: Well, well, calm down, Enya.
I stop Enya in a hurry, since she was about to take out a metal rod.
Kazuto: Umm... what are you doing here, Ei?
What, you ask, I'm escorting Yue.
Ah... Master. (And Yue reminds me of a ghost somehow...)
Yue came out of the store, noticed me and bowed slightly. (Probably because she looks like Pamela from the alchemist series)
Kazuto: Are you two shopping?
Yes. We were about to run out of the tea that Master likes, so that's it. And while we're at it, some medicine that Shion-san requested.
Kazuto: I see. Good job. (I'm curious what that medicine is...)
No... this is no big deal...
Kazuto: Ah, is it that luggage? I'll carry it, so give it to me. (I wonder if Enya will get provoked by him "flirting" with Yue...)
Eh? No... it's okay. It's not really heavy.
Kazuto: It's okay, it's okay.
Yue, you don't need to hesitate. He said it himself he'll carry it. (How is he going to patrol if his hands are busy though?)
But...
Kazuto: Hmm? Is something wrong, Enya?
You still remember we're in the middle of patrol? (Oooh. I guess I'm not the only one to notice that)
Kazuto: Ah... well, why not. At the quick glance it doesn't seem like anything is about to happen, so we can end here for today.
Don't be selfish... do you want to fool around with girls while skipping work!? (And it's Yue too. She gives everyone +50% aggro chance on Kazuto passively)
Kazuto: I'm not fooling around... I just thought I should escort them...
So you prioritize women over work? (Well... their safety is more important than some crappy city...)
Kazuto: No, as I said...
You keep biting him at any chance... do you have feelings for him or something?
You, of all the things to say...
No? It seemed to me you was just angry because he is paying attention to women other than yourself, okay?
Be reasonable if you're making fun of me! I won't accept something like that!
Enya glares at Ei with frustration and then looks the same at me.
If you want to go back, go alone. I'll continue with the patrol. (Go with Enya or go with Ei. The choice is obvious)
Kazuto: Ah... hey, Enya?
I tried to stop her, but Enya didn't listen to me and left without looking back.
Kazuto: Ei, spare me. Enya is a serious one who doesn't understand jokes. (I don't think it was a joke though.)
Jokes? Oh, so you thought I was joking...
I didn't understand what Ei mumbled and tilted my head, but Yue, who remained silent until now broke the silence.
Yue? What's wrong?
Ah... that's...
I thought Enya-san is a bit similar to Ei-chan. (Because they're both tsundere? Grouping that type together is plain stupid)
W, what's with that! What about her and me...
Ei glares at me in frustration just like Enya did before. (Ei is a cat-type tsundere. Enya is an... soldier-type tsundere?)
And then she took luggage from Yue and gave it to me. (At any rate, Enya doesn't have anything similar to a cat)
You'll carry the luggage, right? Here you go. (Tropes point out two tsundere types: tsun-default and dere-default...)
Kazuto: Eh? Wait a bit. That sudden... (But there's way more of them. Mild-Average-Extreme gradation, dere strength...)
Come on, let's go, Yue.
Ah... Ei-chan...
Ei takes Yue's hand and walks away quickly.
Carrying the luggage I could only follow them.
Seriously... what's with that girl...
For me to have affection for that leecher? How foolish... (Oh, also a difference. Enya denies it in herself too, while Ei just hides from others)
But what's with this hazy feeling... (Come on, stop resisting already. You know you have no choice anyway)
...Enya. (Ren... I'm unable to specify her type at all though)
Sekito: *bark*!
Ugh... what a terrible feeling...
Enya? (I guess it's deredere with a bit of beast girl in it)
Sekito: *whimper*...
Sekito, what's wrong? (Well, if Ei is a cat, Ren is an obvious puppy)
Sekito: *whimper*...
Smells good? From Enya?
Sekito: *bark*!
*sniff*
Wha!? What are you doing, Ren!
Well, I tried talking, but Enya didn't notice me... then Sekito said you smell good, so I sniffed.
Sorry for not noticing, but don't do anything weird. First of all, no way Sekito could talk...
...Huh? Sekito?
Sekito: *bark*!
...Bad with dogs? (Same goes for me...)
N... no way that's true.
Sekito: *whimper*
Idiot! Don't come! Don't cuddle with me!
Enya...
Wha... ah, well... that was...
...So you hate dogs. (I do... but only dogs, not human-dogs like Ren. Or dog mimikko)
Wait, wait! I don't hate them. I just can't physiologically stand them...
Physiologically?
Well... that's....
Sekito: *bark*! (See? That's what I mean. Sekito is being a stupid animal right now)
Dog 1: *bark*! (1? Again not A? At any rate, she can't stand them, but dogs ignore that)
Dog 2: *whimper*... (The point is... dogs are insensitive retards)
Dog 3: *bark*.
W... what's with them!? When did this many gather!?
It's probably because of Enya's scent.
Scent? You said that already, but...
It seems such people exist too. Liked by dogs because they smell good.
What did you say!?
...Now that you mention it, I was always chased by dogs... but this amount... (I bet because of that you have some childhood trauma)
Dog 4: *sniff*.
S, stop! Hey, let go! (Mother Nature is a b***h)
Dog 5: *lick*... *lick*...
W, wha!? Don't lick me, you idiot! (Normally this would be considered cute... but I consider it a horror)
Enya...
I can't help it! Don't look at me like this! (Would be fun if Ren gives in to her dog nature and joins the fun though...)
Dog 6: *bark*.
I told you to not approach me! Don't come! Don't come here! Really... aaah!! (Okay, NOW she really resembles Sui. She even sounds like Sui)
Enya... she left...
Sekito: *bark*!
Ah... Sekito?
Kazuto: Hmm... Is Enya still patrolling?
I escort Yue and Ei to the castle, but Enya still didn't return after a while so I went to city to check.
Kazuto: Well then. Where could she be.
How long are you going to follow me!! (Sekito's in the lead, huh)
Kazuto: Eh...
I turned in the direction of the voice and got taken aback by what I saw.
Don't follow me! Don't come, don't come, don't come!!
*rumble*...
(Random dog barking)
Screaming Enya is in the lead and a horde of dogs follow her.
It looks as if Enya is leading the dogs... but she's probably being chased...
Kazuto: Umm... what is this...
It seems she smells good.
Kazuto: ...Ren? When did you...
Before I noticed it, Ren was standing next to me and looking at the running Enya.
I followed Sekito and found Master.
Kazuto: ...Sekito?
Sekito: *bark*!
Kazuto: Ah, you're right.
I noticed Sekito running right behind Enya's fluttering hem.
Kazuto: So... what's with this situation? You said something about the smell?
Because Enya smells good, Sekito-tachi chased her.
Kazuto: Smells good..
Is it the smell of the nikuman she just ate? (How many citizens eat nikumans? Now why would it be specifically Enya?)
But still, she's running so desperately... is Enya bad with the dogs?
Dog 4: *bark*!
Ugh... why do I have to... (Yeah, Enya is similar to Sui, but her default mode is tsun, not dere)
Ah... she's in her a bit weak mode again...
It seems I should help her.
Kazuto: Hey, Enya!
It seems she heard my voice, so Enya looked in my direction.
Noticing me, Enya changed the course and ran in this direction.
H... help...
Kazuto: Yeah. I know, so step back a bit. (What are you going to do?)
Enya nodded and hid behind me fast. (Do you have a Messenger Beam or something?)
Almost laughing at her unusual cuteness, I spread my arms and stood before dogs.
Kazuto: Sekito. Hey!
Sekito: *whimper*?
As the leader Sekito stopped, the rest of the dogs did as well.
Kazuto: Bad Sekito. Don't chase people who don't like it.
Sekito: *whimper*...
It didn't understand the words, but it seems he understood he's being scolded. Sekito hangs its tail in a shame.
The other dogs were either responding to my voice and looking at me or ignoring me and approaching Enya.
Shooing away the dogs that tried to circle me, Enya grabs the hem of my clothes.
Somehow it feels weird when Enya relies on me...
Master.
Kazuto: ...Ren?
Don't get angry. They just wanted to play with Enya.
Kazuto: Well... yeah. That's right.
Kazuto: But, Enya's as you see...
I glance at Enya, smirk secretly and turn back to the dogs.
Kazuto: Come on. You all, leave, leave.
Trying to not be too rough in front of Ren, I lightly tap the bodies of the nearby dogs.
Dogs seems still interested in Enya, but leave one after another.
Eventually all dogs but Sekito leave and Sekito is carried by Ren, so Enya can finally relax a bit.
Kazuto: Are you okay? (Wait for it... I bet, when she realizes...)
Y... yeah, thanks...
Making a surprised face in the middle of talking, Enya steps away from me fast.
No! This is... I didn't think of getting saved by you... (Isn't it the same fast suspiciously specific denial she does to Touka?)
I just found you by accident and used as a shield, so I was about to counterattack, but you acted... seriously, you're hopeless...
Kazuto: ...I see.
I don't know how to react, so I can only make a neutral response.
As she looks at me, Enya's shoulders tremble.
Anyway! Don't think of this as my debt!
Kazuto: Ah...
Kazuto: ...She ran away. (Now you're alone with Ren. Nice)
Enya disappeared around the corner.
It was so fast that I forgot to chase her and just seen her off.
Well, well... it seems we still can't get along... (Are you deaf or just stupid?)
What am I doing... relying on him...
It's his fault for standing there.
Because he was... I just...
Really, what am I doing... He helped me and I ran without even thanking him... (Yup. An obvious soldier-type tsundere same as Sui and Aisha, but with default-tsun)
But...
Hey! How annoying! What's with this hazy feeling...
This is all his fault!
That man...
It's that man's fault... I'm sure...
