Part 4
Asuka and Leticia went to the opposite direction of the massive crowd that was gathered near the center.
Both of them got hungry after all the running, so they bought crepes at a stall, Asuka gave the crepe a look as if she saw something rare. Leticia looked at Asuka puzzledly while taking a small bite out of her crepe.
"Have you not seen a crepe before, Asuka?"
"Eh? Yeah. On the outside is a warm skin, yet on the inside it is filled with cold confectioneries. Although it looks delicious...... it's quite unrefined to bite down on it just to eat it. The mouth would be bound to get dirty no matter the effort to try and stop it."
"Really ? But I really like the feeling of the sweet and thick sauces sliding and then spreading in my mouth after I bite apart the warm skin."
"Hearing a vampire describe that would definitely make anyone get goosebumps."
Asuka let out a look of grimace. When she was still thinking about how she should eat the crepe, Leticia was licking her fingers, having finished her crepe.
"Nevermind, a lot of people who came into the Little Garden were just like you. Everything was different from their homes, for example, food, buildings, mindset, culture etcetera.... Once you can accept this, then you can be integrated into the Little Garden. To conclude something just because of it's appearance is not good, after all having life experience is a very valuable treasure."
"I...........I understand."
Having decided, Asuka opened her mouth and bit down on it-----But she overdid it.
The banana and chocolate gushed out of the crepe, staining the side of her mouth. Asuka momentarily frowned, but the sweetness in her mouth wasn't all that bad. She licked her fingers after wiping it off her mouth.
".........It's good."
"That's good. If you faltered just by this type of food, then you definitely cannot go to the Southern district."
"Rea......Really? Is the food in the Southern district that amazing?"
"Amazing is just one of it's traits. Overall, the food there are all very wild. In the past I went to the restaurant ran by the [Six Scars] community, that was simply too weird. Cut! Barbeque! Bite! When they told me these three steps are for eating, even I would have a headache."
Leticia's eyes seemed to drift off to somewhere far, reminiscing about her memories seemed to make her quiver.
Asuka gave a bitter smile towards Leticia's reaction, while proceeding to round two of the challenge. At this time, her line of sight spotted a small shadow hiding at a corner. At a shop selling flower vases, there was a something wearing a pointy hat.
"Leticia-san, what...Is that?"
Hmm? Leticia turned her head to face the direction where Asuka was pointing at. After that she widened her eyes in surprise.
The direction where the finger was pointing----There was a dwarf looking girl as small as a palm wearing a pointy hat, she was attentively watching the flower vases.
"That should be a faerie right? It's rare to see it alone when it is this size. Is it a [Stray]?"
"[Stray]?"
"Yup, those kind of miniature faeries usually travel in flocks, it's rare that it would move independently."
Really? After Asuka replied, she curiously leaned close to the pointy-hat wearing faerie.
Probably because of Asuka's looming shadow that blocked the light from reaching the faerie, she was startled and turned her head to face Asuka.
Both of them stared at one another.
"............................................................"
"Ah!" After a moment, the faerie let out a cute sound before turning her body and running away.
Asuka gave her crepe to Leticia before chasing after the small back of the faerie.
"Wah! Asu.....Asuka!"
"The rest of the crepe, you can have it! I'm chasing after her for a bit!"
Asuka happily chased the pointy-hat wearing faerie. This reaction was understandable. Probably because of the problematic children's habit, they would naturally think about chasing the opposing side if they ran.
Leticia leaked a puzzled smile, parting with Asuka's back while biting into the crepe.
