Walking side by side with Raz-san on the busy main street in the late afternoon…… Well, I’m the only one walking, while Raz-san is flying around, flapping the little wings on her back.
Putting aside if this was just a normal stroll, but what I’m troubled about now is that Raz-san and I are currently a couple…… or so we bear that title, as we were going to eat a limited edition parfait…… How do you expect me to be calm like that?
Raz’s height, I don’t know the exact number, but I think she’s about 30cm…… The height difference between me and her would be about 140 cm.
At least, we don’t look like a couple when others look at us objectively the way we look now…… They would only see a human walking with a fairy.
However, if we go to that restaurant and have a couples-only parfait, the people will start looking at us in that way…… If that happens, I felt like really serious damage to my public image……
Thinking about it, Kuro appeared in my mind…… Yep, it was too late now.
While thinking about such unnecessary things, I exchange small talk with Raz-san.
[Heehhh…… Then, Raz-san’s field is behind Kuro’s castle that I saw before huh.]
[That’s right! Raz is raising hypahhh vegetables and fruits!]
I knew that Raz-san was growing rice and vegetables, but from what I’ve heard from her, she has a fairly large farm.
[I see…… Raz-san is amazing.]
[Eh? R- Really? Raz is amazing?]
[Yes. You’re very amazing and I respect you.]
[I- Is that so…… Ehehe, I got complimented! Ahem-desu!]
……What a cute little creature, she is…… Raz expresses her joy with her whole body, moving her little body as best as she can, and she’s as cute as a small animal. I guess this is what they meant when they said how small things are cute.
Seeing Raz-san looking happy as she flew around, I felt a smile naturally appear on my lips as I continued walking.
As soon as we reached our destinations, I felt that my fears were unfounded.
There were various couples sitting in many seats, which seemed to be placed outdoors, just like an open cafe.
There was a man who looked like a Demon with a height of nearly 3 meters, and a dwarf-like woman who was less than 120 cm tall, and the difference between their heights was nearly 2 meters.
It seems that in a world where various races live as close neighbors, couples with a difference in height aren’t particularly rare.
In fact, when I asked the waiter for a couples-only parfait after she showed us to our seats, she accepted my order easily and without questions.
Since Raz-san’s size is also like that, I also decided to ask her to bring us a teaspoon that is used for black tea while I’m at it.
[I’m looking forward to it~~ Is it ready yet~~? Would they bring it sooner now?]
[Raz-san…… We just ordered it.]
[Aya? That’s right.]
As if she’s looking forward to the parfait that much, Raz-san restlessly moves around the table.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any chairs for the fairies in this shop, so Raz-san places her small shoes on the chair and sits on the table.
[Raz-san, do you like parfaits?]
[Yes! The parfait is so sweet and fluffy, and Raz really loves it…… But the parfaits at restaurants are so big that Raz can’t eat it by myself.]
Certainly, given Raz-san’s height, a normal parfait is too big for her…… And that’s exactly why most of the parfaits would be too much for her.
And that prediction seems to have been correct, as after we chatted for a while, a large parfait…… the couples-only parfait that was for two people was brought to us.
It looks like it’s made with lots of fruit and looks bright and delicious.
[Wow~~! I’ve been waiting~~! Kaitokun-san! Kaitokun-san! Let’s eat quickly!!!]
When the parfait appeared, Raz-san’s excitement went through the roof, as she stared at the parfait, that was bigger than her own body, with a twinkle in her eyes.
Soothed by her cuteness, I handed the teaspoon to Raz-san but…… A major miscalculation occurred.
I thought a normal spoon would be too big for Raz-san’s size, but even a teaspoon was more than big enough for her, and when Raz-san held it, it looked like she was holding a spear.
[……Raz-san, can you carry that in your mouth?]
[Auuu, i- it looks difficult……]
[I knew it…… Please lend me that for a bit.]
As I thought, it was going to be difficult to scoop it up with a teaspoon and carry it into her mouth, so I asked Raz-san to lend me the teaspoon and with a smile, I asked her.
[Raz-san, which one would you like to eat?]
[Eh? You’re going to feed me!?]
[Yes. This spoon seems to be too big for you.]
[Wow~~ Kaitokun-san is really kind! Thank you!!!]
If it’s difficult for Raz-san to eat it herself, then I can just feed her.
With that in mind, I ask her while holding the spoon in my hand, and after thinking about it for a moment, Raz-san tells me what she wants to eat, pointing to a fruit that looks like a strawberry.
[Right here? Hmm, here.]
[Ahnn…… Whamnn.]
When I scooped up the requested portion and put it in front of Raz, she spread her mouth open and took a bit of the parfait…… Well, she still didn’t eat half of that spoon though……
[Hnnn~~ It’s delicious!]
[Really? That’s good to hear.]
[Yes! Ahh, please eat too, Kaitokun-san! This parfait is too much for Raz.]
I see. If Raz-san takes a bite and I eat the rest of it, it’ll be just right huh…… Arehh? However, wouldn’t that be an indirect kiss…… Well, I guess it’s fine.
Raz-san didn’t seem particularly bothered by it either, so I ate the remaining parfait on the spoon.
Then, I listened to Raz-san’s request again, scooped the parfait, and let Raz-san take a bite before eating the rest.
Raz-san twists around and smiles with happiness with each bite, almost to the point of exaggeration. She really is quite a cute person.
As we proceeded to eat our parfait in this way, I was being soothed by Raz-san’s cuteness…… when I heard some familiar voices.
[Good grief, why didn’t you come with Sis Raz?]
[N- No, you also have a sweet tooth too, right? That’s why……]
[I appreciate the sentiment, but I feel sorry for Sis Raz.]
[……Ugghhh… No, well, it’s true that I did a bad thing to Elder Sis Raz, so I’ll get something as a souvenir for her—— Unnn?]
[……Arehh?]
[Ah~~! It’s Acht-kun and Eva-san!]
When Raz-san and I turned to the direction of the voice, there was a large blue-skinned man and an equally large woman with wolf ears, and when she saw them, Raz-san loudly called out their names.
[Elder Sis Raz!? And also, isn’t this Kaito!?]
[Long time no see, Acht, Eva.]
[Long time no see~~ I see, Kaito was brought here by Sis Raz?]
[Yeah, well……]
Hearing Raz-san’s voice, Acht and Eva also noticed us and come up to the table we were at.
When I nodded to her question, Eva hit Acht who was next to her with an apologetic look on her face.
[I see, I’m sorry, Sis Raz. My idiot here is quite insensitive.]
[It’s fine~~ Acht-kun and Eva-san are husband and wife, so he’s right to prioritize you!]
[Thank you for saying that…… Kaito too, thanks.]
[Ah, no, you’re welcome……]
Apparently, Eva was bowing to Raz-san, as if she was concerned about Acht’s refusal of Raz-san’s invitation.
But then, Raz-san didn’t seem to mind at all though, as she told them not to worry about it with a smile on her face.
Thereupon, I suddenly thought about something that had been bothering me for a while and decided to ask them now.
[Speaking of which, I noticed it from before…… Why do Acht and Eva call Raz-san as Sis?]
[Unnn? That’s because Elder Sis Raz is “older” than us.]
[……Ehh?]
[There’s also because Sis Raz is “many times stronger” than us.]
[Eeehhhhh!?]
Dear Mom, Dad——– They say that people aren’t always what they seem, and I don’t know if it really is as they say or not but…… The small and lovable Raz-san is actually a great fairy who has lived for a considerable amount of years, and her power makes her——– The greatest among the fairies.
<Afterword>
Underworld ☆ King: [Kaito-kun! I heard there’s a couples-only parfait, so how about we…… Arehh? He’s not here.]
Awaken…… Awaken…… To your fetish of loving 30cm fairies…… Awaken.
