I'm Oritsu Ei, 15 years old!
An ordinary girl you can find anywhere ♂ (♀ depending on the day).
This is bad, this is bad!
The local god who manages my entire life (no exaggeration) seems to be off observing something weird somewhere again and having fun!
Even when I ask, she just evades me with vague answers, and I can’t force the question and risk hurting her mood, so what am I supposed to do from here on out~!
『Um, is there really no way you’ll tell me?』
『Yes!』
『So you admit you’re hiding something……』
『Indeed, I am hiding something about the content. But it is all for Ei’s enjoyment, you know? ……Ah, Ei, the gummies over there too, please! They’re delicious no matter how many times I eat them!』
『Yes.』
I was currently carrying out a shopping mission at a convenience store.
The main items were bento lunches for my master and Senano-chan, but aside from that, I was also preparing an offering for Sora.
If only she were the kind of god who’d be satisfied with just sweets like this……
『Thank you very much. ……And, Ei, I’m thirsty.』
『Yes.』
Obediently, I headed toward the drink corner.
Then, when I asked with my eyes what drink she wanted, Sora pointed at the very top with her little hand.
『I want to drink that juice on the very top.』
『……That exquisitely tiny cider?』
『Yes, that exquisitely tiny cider＾＾』
The cider in the small-size plastic bottle that Sora wanted was on the top shelf.
A few shelves below there was the exact same cider, but for some reason Sora seemed to be ignoring it.
『There’s a bigger size of the same flavor right below it, though.』
『No, I want that size＾＾』
『I see…… Just by the way, are you saying that while taking my height into account?』
『Oh my＾＾ This way you can’t reach it, can you. What a problem＾＾』
Sora said that, smiling happily, clasping her hands behind her back and swaying side to side while watching me.
……Eh, what is this?
A test of new content I don’t know about?
Is this one of those god-specific things where they suddenly test a human?
The kind where the correct answer is different from human values and it ends up as a bad ending?
『U-um……』
『What a problem＾＾』
Sora said only that, just like an NPC.
Hmm, what should I do. Maybe it’s been a while since I couldn’t understand the Director’s intent.
At this rate, I can’t reach it…… No, is it better if I can’t reach it?
At that moment, I felt like something clicked in my brain.
I see, Director, so that’s how it is.
So you’re producing a “small child in trouble because she can’t reach the juice” content, is that it!
You must have predicted that Senano-chan or my master, worried that I wasn’t coming back, would come.
It is indeed a little worrying to send a calamity-lord-class pseudo-medium on an errand with a credit card.
I don’t know if my master will come, but there’s a high chance Senano-chan will.
Or rather, was she guiding me like this because she had observed that?
Good grief, if it weren’t me, I wouldn’t have noticed.
『Fufufu, I’m starting to understand what Sora is thinking……!』
『So you’ve understood the content, then.』
『Not sure about that phrasing. I might object……』
When you say it like that, I can’t help but end up on Sora’s side, you know.
……And, while we were doing that, someone came into the convenience store!
Judging by the footsteps, they seemed to be heading straight this way.
Then there’s only one thing for me to do!
"Hup…… hup……!"
I reached out and stood on tiptoe, trying to get it somehow.
You could tell at a glance that I was desperately looking up and trying to reach the juice.
Director, this is what you wanted, right?
How many of your works do you think I’ve already appeared in?
Please stop testing me already (lol)
『Good, good＾＾』
Well, when it comes to me, it’s roughly like this.
After this, if someone would just get the juice I want for me——
"Is this what you wanted?"
"Yes! Thank…… eh?"
Who!?
Following the hand that got the juice for me, I found the face of an unfamiliar young man.
Who is this young man!?
『He is Yamamoto Yoshinori. He is an NPC created by this ZONE, with the setting that he has been an old acquaintance of Ei and her sisters. So here, if you don’t act that way, it will be unnatural (fast talk).』
『W-why do you know that much……?』
『Have I not been watching everything until now? Do you think there is anything I do not know?』
『That’s true……』
But, knowing Sora’s content tendencies up to now, would she suddenly produce “trying to act grown-up” content with an NPC like this……?
I feel like something is off, but…… maybe it’s a change of pace.
『……By the way, you’re not hiding anything, right?』
『I’m not hiding anything＾＾ If I had to say, I’m keeping quiet about the sea.』
『The sea again!? Stop it already……』
『That one also looks interesting. I wouldn’t mind wrapping this one up. Also, I want my manga back.』
『Did you lend the sea manga?』
『The spin-off and the one-shot versions too.』
『That’s some solid preaching, huh.』
Thinking that after this there’s also a sea monster waiting who will start talking about nothing but content, I can’t stop trembling.
And yet, what am I supposed to do with this NPC from now on?
"Thank you very much, Yoshinori-san."
When I received the juice and said that, he gave an awkward smile, looking embarrassed.
……D-don’t tell me, just because he’s an NPC, she’s going to destroy this guy’s fetishes next, right?
Even I’d resist going that far, you know.
If he were a little kid, I could still tease him, but at that age it’s no joke anymore.
"H-hey, Ei-chan. This might sound strange, but can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
P-please.
Just spare me the romance content with this guy……!
Knowing Sora, there’s a chance she’ll make me flirt with him just to generate Senano-chan jealousy content……!
"Is Nene…… at home today? It’s just, I have something to do."
"…………Nene-onee-chan?"
"Yeah."
Is this, no way, romance content with my master instead of me……!?
……Then I’m fine with it!
Sora, sorry for doubting you! Of course you wouldn’t do something that cruel!
"If you mean my big sister Nene, she’s at home! Shall we go together?"
"Y-yeah. ……Alright, let’s go."
As if to psych himself up, he slaps his own cheeks.
Isn’t this actually him liking my master?
Hehe, I’m getting excited.
Up until now I was always the one being played with, so I never thought I’d get to see someone’s love life up close like this!
"So, what business do you have with Nene-onee-chan?"
"Ugh."
He seemed at a loss for words at my innocent, straightforward question.
Then he clearly started acting suspicious, and answered while letting his gaze wander.
"I-it’s, there’s something I don’t understand in an assignment due next week. I thought Nene might know……"
"Eh? An assignment that our Nene-onee-chan would understand?"
Sorry, but that person isn’t the intellectual type, so I don’t think she’d understand.
In an age with smartphones, you wouldn’t go all the way to someone’s house to ask, so even as an excuse, it’s a stretch.
"O-oh, I see."
Good grief, he still has little experience covering things up. Do your best, young man!
『Well then, let’s see what you’re made of.』
『Hehe, this time I can enjoy it from the same position as Sora!』
『……Yes, I’m looking forward to it＾＾』
