347-Misunderstanding of a man




 
 We added Thor and Asmo to the mix, and we slowly made our way through the long, quiet forest.

'So, when Al gave me a bug lunch to get back at him, he was immediately found out and beat up by Lady Elinora, who came back.

Hm, when I saw you at the mansion, you looked so ladylike, you didn't look it, but is it because you're sister and brother are so close?

'No, no, that's just Sister Elinora wearing a cat.

"Don't you lie to me, brother! Lady Elinora's gestures, unlike yours, are graceful and ladylike.

 I said dumbly, and Thor said bitingly.

'Classy and ladylike are not the words that would suit sister Elinora best. Thor's not a good judge of character.

'You're the one who can't look at my sister, implying that she's ladylike or kind or something stupid.

Neither of them can see.

"Oh?

Well, well, well, no fighting.

 As me and Thor moaned at Asmo, Tickle giggled and stepped in between us.

 Oops, I showed him an unseemly place in front of Viscount Doll.

 There's a lot of things I want to get into about Thor's story from earlier, but I'll hold back here.

''Well, Tickle. How's the psychic one?

As Master Alfried said, it's a lot easier to control once we got it in sight.

 The stone floating beside Tickle's face seems to be stable, holding a constant position.

 Earlier, he couldn't even hold a conversation, but now he seems to be able to afford to answer questions like this.

Now that I'm feeling a little more relaxed, let's see what I can do next. The same kids, Thor and Asmo, are walking in front of me, but they walk differently, don't they?

'Ha, yes, Thor-san has something on the outside of his feet and Asmo-san has a surprisingly small stride.

'Yeah, I guess so. As far as Thor is concerned, he's walking like a crabby walker, and he's moving his legs around a lot. It's like he wants to make himself look bigger, I guess. Asmo is walking with his small legs, moving them in small, fast movements. I think it's because it's too much trouble for me to move my big feet.

You know what you're doing because you're friends.

'Well, we know each other's personalities in a disgusting way,'

 It's been a year since I've been friends with Thor and Asmo. If you count the period of time, it seems short, but I don't think it's because we've been spending so much time together, or maybe it's because we're spending so much time together.

 I feel like we've already spent five or six years together.

 What a profound thought, but it doesn't matter now, so I let it fizzle out.

The same person has a different personality and habit of walking, so you should be aware of it and observe it on a regular basis. That's why you should be aware of the differences in personality and habits of the same person, so you should be aware of them on a regular basis.

'Certainly! You know, Alfried-sama's Knight and Elizabeth also moved in accordance with their own personalities. I understand, I'll try to observe the people I walk with on a regular basis as well!

 Tickle said so enthusiastically and began to observe Thor and Asmo walking in front of him.

Hey, Al.

What?

 Thor, who was walking in front of me, called out to me and I responded, but Thor told me to come over here with his chin.

 If he doesn't want to say it at this distance, is it something secret or hard to say?

 Maybe he realized that Gregor was a nobleman or something? If it was, it would be a hassle, so I'd just walk over to Thor's side.

 Then he squares his shoulders uncomfortably and whispers to me, "Hey, Tickle-san is looking at me really hot.

'.........Hey, I'm getting really hot looks from Tickle-san behind me.......did I fall in love with him?

 My worries about Gregor were unfounded, and I was a fool for thinking that Thor had such a keen eye for observation.

''Huh....

What's with the sigh? Now you don't believe it, do you? Then look at Mr. Tickle. You're keeping your eyes on me, okay?

 I glanced back when Thor told me to, and it was already devouring me, and I saw Tickle looking at Thor. At his feet to be exact.

 As me and Thor look at each other, Tickle's face turns red in a hurry.

'See, did you see that! You're blushing when your eyes meet mine!

 And so on," Thor said excitedly, but in reality he was just in a hurry to give up control of his psychic because he was so engrossed in his observation. He blushed, probably because he was embarrassed that we had seen his magic fail.

 I don't know if we were lucky or not.

 In this way, the men of the world will probably make the embarrassing mistake of thinking, "That girl might like me.

 The reason why Tickle is giving Thor a hot look is because of my advice.

 It would be too pitiful for Thor to make a black history because of a misunderstanding, so I'm going to firmly deny it here.

''He said it was just a misunderstanding.

No, I don't. My mom told me. Girls unconsciously look at the man they like. And if they make eye contact and turn away, it's because they're not interested in you.

It's the same for men, right? I mean, if you liked the opposite s*x, they'd be more interested in you and ask you questions and stuff.

 If there was a member of the opposite s*x you were interested in, you would want to know more and ask more questions.

 In fact, the first conversation that Thor and Tickle had is nothing special. Rather, I should say that it is Viscount Doll who is showing interest in Thor.

I'm sure you're not the only one. Tickle-san is an exception to the rule because she's not as shy as the village girls.

'Miss Murat is a woman from the village of Coriat, isn't she? If that's the case, then what you just said doesn't apply to the exception, Mr. Tickle?

Gosh, that might be true, but...

Are you okay? Doesn't it contain your own desires or something? That kind of man's self-conscious misunderstanding is what makes a tragedy happen, you know?

Oh, oh, you have some bad experiences, huh?

 When I say it as a question, Thor says such a thing with a somewhat drawn-out expression.

 .........Huh, if you live for twenty-seven years in a previous life, there's a lot of things that happen.

 When I had a somewhat distant look in my eyes, Thor might have guessed it, but he moved away without saying anything.

 There was no longer the excitement on his face that I saw earlier. I'm glad to hear that you've been able to keep your cool.

'Nuh? I see some moving shadows?

 When he was relieved to see Thor, Viscount Doll muttered as he looked ahead.

 When he turned his gaze forward, he saw Al Mushroom walking there.

''It's Al Mushroom! We'll get him!

Oh!

 As soon as they find the Alkinocho, Thor and Asmo start to run with a yell.

 Alkinocho, perhaps noticing the approaching Thor and Asmo, jumps up and down in surprise and begins to flee.

'Wait and see!'

 While Thor and Asmo chased after him, Alkinocho struggled to escape, using the trees as an obstacle.

''Hmm, so there are alkino mushrooms in this forest? I've never eaten them, but how do they taste?

It's a little thin, but it's good in quantity.

 They're as big as my waist. Compared to ordinary mushrooms, the amount of mushrooms is unparalleled.

 The drawback is that it's not very tasty, but if you put a good amount of it in, you can get enough of the flavorful broth.

By the way, the feet are the best.

 Only the legs have a richer taste, so if you want a richer taste, eat the legs.

 In front of me, Thor and Asmo are both chasing after the alkino mushroom, but they still haven't caught it. I think Al Mushroom is more intelligent than the two of them, who are using trees and roots as shields for their consciousness.

'Hey, Al! Stop laughing and help me out!

Well, that's just the way it is.

 I put a psychic on the grass at the feet of the fleeing Alkinocho.

 Then I tie the two grasses together to create an improvised grass knot trap, and the alkino mushroom hooks its foot beautifully and falls down.

'I don't know what I did, but it was a good one, Al!

 Thor jumps on the fallen Al Mushroom and catches him.

'Hehe, look Asmo! We've got Al Mushrooms!

'Idiot! I'd like to see you finish it before that happens! I'll produce spores.

Oh.

 The alkino mushroom spat out a white spore at the same time as Thor made a dumb noise.
