The elf who started the battle

"Ugh"

Sighing and looking at the bustling street, Hina, who had just walked out of school, suddenly felt a little confused.After he and Origami Tohka sent the unconscious Shido to the health room, he excused himself from feeling unwell and asked for leave from his teacher to go home.But where is home?

It has been almost half a month since I came to this world, but the progress of the mission is stumbling, and it is difficult to see the end.Now, I have disappeared for so long, and I don’t know if they know about it.

"Ugh"

"Um"

Hina, who had just walked around a corner, raised her head unconsciously.

suddenly

With a "tick" sound, Hina felt a cold object dripping on her neck.

"Hmm~"

After muttering, Hina frowned.

I don’t know when it started, but the sky was covered with dark clouds.

"Is it going to rain? Yesterday, the weather forecast clearly said it would be sunny."

Hina was somewhat complaining about the very low accuracy of the weather forecast. She didn't know why, but the weather forecast seemed to have been inaccurate these days.

Then, at what seemed like a pre-planned timing, tick, tick, tick, the asphalt road began to show traces of water stains from large raindrops.

"Ah~"

Not wanting to reveal her identity as an elf on the street, Hina held the schoolbag in her hand against her head and prepared to run back to her current residence at a trot, which was kindly provided by Ratatosk, not far from Shido's house. apartment at.

However, as if the heavy rain was mocking Hina, who was unwilling to show off her abilities, the rain suddenly became heavier.

"Hey, hey, what's going on, is it real or fake?"

Because she felt the cold touch of the wet uniform on her body, Hina frowned in displeasure, regretting her decision just now, but showing off her abilities in such a place would easily attract asts.

However, when Hina reached the three-way intersection and turned right.

"what"

As the rain continued, Hina suddenly stopped.

It's not that my feet are sore, nor is it because of the somewhat self-exposing and self-abandoning thought of "just get wet."

Just because it's in front

Something more concerning than drops of water falling from the sky appeared.

"Girls"

Frowning, these words came out of Hina's lips.

Yes, that's a girl.

A petite figure wearing a cute and uniquely designed coat.

She couldn't see her face. To be precise, that was because the large cloak decorated with rabbit ears completely covered her head.

Then, the most special thing is her left hand.

On his left hand is a rather funny-looking rabbit-shaped hand puppet.

The girl was happily jumping up and down on the deserted street.

"what"

Question marks come to mind.

The question mark is not "why the girl didn't hold an umbrella and was jumping in the rain."

But

Why did no one except myself notice the girl? Even though it was pouring with rain, there were still people on the street.

This is the question that flashed through my mind.

What's more, the girl's dress and behavior at this time are indeed quite eye-catching.

But except for herself, no one around her seemed to see the girl.

Although it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, at this moment, Hina's mind was filled with an unnatural feeling.

Unbelievable feeling, could it be a ghost?

Or is it that a new elf has arrived?

Hina had already forgotten the coldness of the heavy rain and the discomfort caused by her clothes getting wet.

I just stared intently at the girl dancing lightly in the cold curtain of raindrops

"I slipped and fell."

"what"

Hina's eyes widened in surprise. This elf fell down.

The girl did fall.

Her face and abdomen fell heavily to the ground, and waves of water splashed around her. By the way, the hand puppet also fell off her left hand and flew forward.

Then, the girl remained prone and motionless.

"This"

He frowned in confusion, but after hesitating, Hina ran over, intending to help this girl who seemed to be an elf.After all, judging from Tohka's performance, the newly arrived elves know almost nothing about this world. They are extremely wary of this strange world. If they can gain the favor of the elves at this time, So

Shaking her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, Hina picked up the petite body in front of her and helped her change to a lying position.

"Are you okay?"

Only then did Hina finally see the girl's appearance clearly.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Shidou's scheming sister Itsuka Kotori. Her hair was as blue as the sea, and her soft lips were the color of cherry blossoms.This is a beautiful girl who looks like a French doll.

Then, the girl opened her eyes, revealing sapphire-like eyes decorated with long eyelashes.

"Ah, that's great. You weren't hurt."

After Hina finished speaking, the girl's face turned pale, her eyes flickered, and then she jumped up as if to escape from Hina's hands.Then, after pulling away for a while, his whole body began to tremble slightly, and he looked at Hina with fearful eyes.

""

Frowning, Hina didn't understand what was wrong with the girl. Did she look terrible? She was obviously smiling all the time.

Could it be because of the sudden touching of the other person's body just now?

But having said that, Hina still felt a little bit shocked. Was she scary? Judging from the dozens of love letters she dug out of the shoe cabinet in the morning, she was obviously very popular.

"Ugh"

Sighing, Hina heard the timid voice of the girl again.

"Then that's because, please don't come close to me."

"what"

When Hina took a step forward, the girl looked timid and said this.

"Please don't hurt me"

Next, the girl said this again.

It seems that he is afraid that Hina will harm him.It looked like a trembling little animal.

"that"

Then, Hina, who didn't know what to do, found the hand puppet that fell on the ground.

It must have just slipped from the girl's hand. He slowly bent down to pick up the thing, and then brought it to the girl's eyes.

"Is this yours"

So, the girl opened her eyes wide and made a move to get closer to Hina. But at this moment, the girl stopped.

She had an expression on her face that said, "I want to get the hand puppet back, but I'm afraid to get close to Hina," and she anxiously assessed whether the time was right.

""

Seeing the girl's appearance, Hina felt a little bit embarrassed and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth twice.

"you"
