We took Sakura home.
“Well then, everyone, please enjoy yourself.” (Sakura)
“I wish Sakura-chan could have come with us.” (Ruimin)
Sakura looked apologetic at Ruimin’s words.
“But I can stay with you this afternoon. I’ll come to Yuna-sama’s mansion later. Shinobu, please take good care of everyone.” (Sakura)
“I understand. I will take care of them properly.” (Shinobu)

After parting with Sakura, we headed for breakfast.
By the way, I’ve been getting a lot of stares from residents since I entered the town. It’s still ongoing.
“Sakura-neechan’s house was big.” (Shuri)
“That’s not just Sakura’s house. It’s a place where all the Miko gather.” (Yuna)
“Miko?” (Shuri) (「巫女？」)
Shuri tilted her head at the word miko. She doesn’t seem to understand the phrase miko. Even here, cultural differences are apparent.
It’s difficult to explain the culture of each country. Even I don’t know some things that were common knowledge in other countries. Something difficult to explain will also be difficult to understand.
“Etto… Sakura’s house is also her workplace, I think? They live there besides Sakura.” (Yuna)
So I briefly explained that it’s also a place of work and that they live there along with Sakura.
With such an explanation, Shuri seemed to understand somewhat and nodded her head.
“So where are we going to eat?” (Yuna)
“I’m thinking of going to my favorite restaurant for a light meal. Then we walk around the city, and then eat and drink as we go.” (Shinobu)
“First of all, I don’t want to eat weird food.” (Yuna)
“It’s rude to call it something strange. Sakura-sama eats it too, so it’s not weird.” (Shinobu)
“Just because Sakura eats it, I refuse to eat insects.” (Yuna)
They eat locusts and such, but I’d rather not. While I have never eaten locusts, I reject them because they’re insects. It’s not a question of whether it tastes good or not, It’s still the fact that it’s an insect.
“You like insects?” (Shinobu)
“Are you listening to people? If you take us to a store like that, they will go berserk. The store will be destroyed. And Shinobu will die.” (Yuna)
“Oi, don’t kill me! It’s okay because they don’t serve insects.” (Shinobu)
Looking at the expression on Shinobu’s face just now, It’s still suspicious, so I can’t drop my guard.
“You guys, there’s nothing you don’t like, right?” (Shinobu)
“I don’t want to eat insects.” (Ruimin)
“Yes, me too.” (Fina)
“Me too~” (Shuri)
Not only me, but also Shuri, Fina, and Ruimin disagreed. I am glad I have good friends.
Since we all agreed on the same thing, Shinobu would not take us to a strange restaurant.
We arrived at a restaurant that looked like a teishoku-ya. We entered the restaurant with Shinobu in the lead. The inside of the restaurant was much larger than I expected. There were about 10 tables and counter seats. (定食屋)
However, there were no customers. It’s not possible to judge whether it’s a little-known, unpopular spot or a completely popular joint.
“Good timing. It’s empty.” (Shinbu)
“Ara, Shinobu-chan. Welcome.” (Lady)
As I was worrying, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and a triangular cap came out from behind the counter. The fact that she called out Shinobu’s name suggests that this was indeed her favorite restaurant.
“By the way, the reason there are no customers is that everyone has gone to work.” (Lady)
“Oh, you heard that?” (Shinobu)
“I’m all ears when a customer comes in. So, you’ve brought some pretty girls with you today. I wonder if they are Shinobu-chan’s girlfriends? Shinobu-chan is popular with girls, after all.” (Lady)
“It’s not like that. They are my friends. We just came to have breakfast together.” (Shinobu)
“Is that so? Even so, these children are wearing unusual clothes.” (Lady)
A woman looks at us and her gaze stops at me.
“And a bear? I’ve never seen a child dressed like that before.” (Lady)
If you’ve seen it before, that will be a problem.
“Please don’t pursue her about her outfit.” (Shinobu)
“Is there a reason?” (Lady)
“There is a reason.” (Shinobu)
“Then I’ll leave it at that. Sit down and relax.” (Lady)
