A Little Fox Throwing a Bomb (Konoha the Bomberman)

 

　Any unnecessary concern would be an insult to her.

 

"I'm sorry ... Apparently that was a tactless question."

 

　When I apologized, Konoha-chan on the table tilted her head.

 

"No, I know that Yumeji-san was concerned about me. Thank you very much."

 

　Kuh……!? What a good girl you are.

　Isn't such a good girl ...... an endangered species not to be found in the human world!?

 

"Oh no... For a second I thought I wanted to make her my child..."

"I understand ... I seriously think I'm going to welcome her into my home?"

 

　Amane crosses her arms and agrees with my crime collection line.

 

"Oi, kora... I told you kidnapping a little girl is a crime..."

 

　After finishing her kitsune udon, or plain udon, Suzu-nee calmly interrupted.

　Yes, I'm aware that our thinking is going in a very bad direction...

　Cute is justice ... but also a crime.

 

 

　Now ... Then we'd have to gather information.

　However, the "Shirasagi family" existed more than 30 years ago, so no one would know or be able to assume their whereabouts unless they have known them for as long as they have.

　Even Suzu-nee, who is the oldest of us all, has lived here since she was born, but I believe she's only 20 or so now...

　Then ... Inevitably, you'd have to ask someone who you know was definitely here 30 years ago, someone who appeared (?) in "Past Dreams". I'm sure we'll have to ask someone who was here 30 years ago.

　With that in mind, I approached the manager, Suzu-nee's father, who was currently washing dishes in the kitchen.

 

 

"Uncle~, I'd like to ask you a little..."

"...Hmm? Me?"

 

　The face of the good-looking man who turned to me at the sound of my voice was unmistakably that of an aged junior high school student who was in the video 30 years ago.

　...... I will avoid mentioning the top of his head.

 

"Do you know the Shirasagi family used to live on that mountain?"

 

　When I asked him that, he rolled his eyes.

 

"Shirasagi ...... It is a very nostalgic name. Surprised you knew that name, Yumeji..."

 

　The old man comes over here wiping his hands.

　Well, it's true that all the people at the table here, except for the fox, are younger than 30, and there's no way we could know the names of the landowners who lived in our neighborhood during the economic bubble.

　Suzu-nee helped me adjust to that part properly.

 

"Previous manager of this store... There was a letter that Yamaguchi-san had left, right? I had told this story to these kids before, and they happened to hear that the daughter of the Shirasagi family always wore a kimono and a cherry blossom hair ornament."

"What? Is that true!"

 

　The old man seemed to believe it normally, despite the mixture of falsehood and truth in the explanation.

 

"Ah~, but indeed, now that I think about it, that mansion back then might be conceivable ...... I hadn't thought about it before, but I see..."

 

　The old man folds his arms and mumbles sadly, but there's nothing we can do about that.

　In any case, this letter was delivered after the Shirasagi family had fled in the night and disappeared.

　It was not until much later that the old man and his family took over the restaurant and reopened it as "Sword Mountain".

　It's too much to ask him to imagine.

　As he did so, the old man nodded with a serious face.

 

"I see. ...... If that letter was addressed to Shirasagi's daughter, the previous owner ...... Yamaguchi-san might know something about it."

 

　Yamaguchi-san, as Suzu-nee mentioned earlier, apparently he must be referring to the bearded dandy of an old man that I saw in a past dream.

　Apparently, they are still interacting with each other to this day.

 

"I'll contact him later, and you guys can come back at a later date?"

"If we learn anything, I'll contact you."

 

　At uncle and Suzu-nee's suggestion, I, Amane, and Konoha-chan at the table nodded.

 

 

 

　And the time was around 16:30.

　The area was completely tinged with sunset by the time ...... we ended up spending a full Sunday in action.

　Yes ...... that means I've been with Amane all day...

　I don't know how ...... this sense of fulfillment, or superiority, that wells up in me. ...... It's been years since I've had such a fulfilling holiday!!

　A day off to kill a day playing games, that's great too ...... but not nearly as fulfilling as this!!

　Konoha, in fox form, is on Amane's shoulder, which is tinted orange by the setting sun. Her figure also looks like a princess of a certain style, which is appropriate for the climax of today's event.

 

"See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you..."

 

　As we were about to enter our respective houses, Konoha-chan, who was on Amane's shoulder, said in wonder.

 

"Are? You two don't live together?"

"Eh?"

"Ha?"

 

　A casual question, but the little fox dropped a huge bombshell.

　At first, we freeze, but we manage to get back on our feet.

"No, no~. We're neighbors, our houses are different, right?"

"That's right... what do you say out of the blue..."

 

　But the little fox didn't care, and this time she threw incendiary bombs.

 

"But okaa-sama told me not to bother because "The two of them are spiritually tied together"."

""Bufu!?""

 

　Tied... As expected, I at least know what that means.

　In short, humanly speaking, we are classified as a married couple or steady............. We involuntarily looked at each other and ...... hurriedly turned our faces away.

 

"W-W-W-What did you say !? There is no way! We are still high school students !?"

"T-T-T-That's right !? We're still at an age where it's legally impossible to do so!?"

 

　I don't understand what I'm saying ...... Oh no! I have a very bad feeling that continuing this conversation is a very bad idea!!

 

"But okaa-sama said there is no mistake..."

"Stop!! I'm going home now !! B-Bye, Yumeji-kun !!"

"O-Oh!! See ya!!"

 

　Amane's face was as red as the setting sun as she hurriedly retreated behind the door of her home ...... perhaps even mine now.

　...... But a couple... Is this kind of language or feeling slightly more bestial than that of the animals... That animal-eared mother and daughter.
