Citrus-Scented Morning

Translator : PolterGlast

She woke up, guided by the morning sun\'s rays passing through her eyelids.

"Nn......"

Spring is almost over, and the sun is getting stronger and stronger. While raising her hand and squinting her eyes, she looked out the window and saw that the sun was already peeking over the roof. It seemed that she had slept longer than she had expected.

"Fu~aa......."

She let out a slightly sleepy yawn as she got up from her comfy bed.

It had been two weeks since the battle in the forest. She almost had no more nightmares.

Even when she did occasionally have nightmares, she felt as if she were looking through a glass somewhat distant.

But that did not mean that she no longer felt the same way. Her heart still yearns for the forest of her homeland.

However, She is no longer trapped in the "past" where she was powerless. She is no longer afraid of the future, which she does not yet know.

[ Chuichu...... (Yo, Shi-jou, are you awake?) ]

"Good morning, Raz. Has Mimuru woken up yet?"

[ Chun, chuchun (Yeah, she said she was going to buy some freshly-baked bread) ].

"I see. Then I have to prepare breakfast as well......"

She exchanged morning greetings while smiling at her friend, who was wagging his tail beside her pillow.

Getting out of bed, she took off her nightgown and began to change.

The dormitories offered at Arcazam are designed to accommodate two students in a single room. In order to give the students a more varied lifestyle, the shared areas are equipped with the necessary equipment for household chores, but with a little creativity, they could even cook a simple meal in their rooms.

After putting on the uniform and apron, she asked the water spirit to fill the pot with water.

Then she asked the fire spirit to slowly heat the pot, and began to make soup.

The spirit magic, which had been unusable, is now working properly.

"Fufu, thank you."

After saying so, she poured magic power into her hand and gave it to the micro-spirits who helped her as a thank-you.

The spirits who helped her happily gathered around her magic power and began to circle around her.

[ Chuichui (Oi oi, if it was just that much, why don\'t you just ask me?) ]

"Ara, Raz, are you jealous? Don\'t worry, I\'m counting on you at school."

[ Chichichi ...... (Keh~, I don\'t know about that......) ]

While chopping vegetables and preparing the stew, she appeased the jealous Raz.

The comfortable, peaceful feeling, and the connection with friends that had been lost until not long ago.

She couldn\'t help but smile as she once again realized what she had regained.

[ Chunchun! Chuchun! (So, what\'s on the menu? French toast? Or maybe creamed Roche beef? Oh, candied Plantafruit would be great!) ]

Plantafruit is the general term for fruits from the southernmost part of the Sumahya Union.

Generally colorful, sweet, and sour, it is a very tasty fruit, and at the same time, it is considered a luxury item.

"I can\'t afford to eat such expensive food in the morning. Besides, we have to save our money."

[ Chu ~~ chun (Eeh~~. Don\'t be such a bore~~!) ]

"Don\'t be selfish."

[ Chi, chichichi...... (Tsk, I thought I was going to be able to taste delicious foods~~) ]

Shina\'s childhood friend has been begging for the humans\' expensive food ever since he was resurrected. Especially sweet foods with a lot of sugar. Even though he used to be a bit more modest .......

"No way. Even when we were in the forest, I used to pick the ripest, sweetest fruits to feed you."

Spirits are different from ordinary physical beings.

Because they are a mass of pure source elements, even when they manifest as spirits, their senses are different from those of ordinary living beings.

The most noticeable difference is their sense of taste. They feel nothing when they eat what humans would consider delicious. This is because they do not have a physical body, and they do not need a sense of taste as they ingest the source elements that fill the world.

However, there are exceptions. One of them is when a direct contract is made, as in Shina\'s case.

Some spirits and contractors who have developed a deep connection can share their senses. In other words, Raz can also enjoy the food that humans eat through Shina\'s taste buds.

Well, in short, this gluttonous spirit was going to make Shina\'s stomach filled with sugar, honey, and milk so that he could enjoy the food of the human world.

"In the first place, there were no Plantafruits in Nebula Forest. Where did you get such knowledge? ......"

[ Chu? Chunchun ( Hm? Well, I was just strolling around this town and happened to hear merchants talking about it.) ]

Arcazam is frequented by numerous merchants from all over the continent. Certainly, as a spirit, Raz would have no trouble eavesdropping on the merchants\' business talks.

However, even so, this friend of hers seemed to be becoming very much tainted with the human world.......

"You see, even though I receive a subsidy from the academy and a reward for defeating the demonic beast the other day, it doesn\'t mean I can waste my money. I have to save money, and I have to do what I can by myself......"

[ Chichichu ~~ (I\'d like to take it easy if I could tho ~~) ]

Raz was yawning while lying down comfortably on his belly.

(It is true that I am grateful that you have been protecting me for twenty years, but even so, aren\'t you being a little too lazy?)

Mimuru kept refilling the soup, and before they knew it, they were starting to see the bottom of the pot.

(Haa, I thought it would be enough to last until dinner. I\'ll have to make it again when I get back from school.)

While thinking about such things, Shina chewed on her bread.

(Did I not mix it enough when I cooked it? Or was it because of the time it took? I think the jam tastes a little sweeter than usual.)

In the meantime, their breakfast time went by peacefully.

"Come to think of it, the soup that Nozomu made was pretty good, wasn\'t it?"

"Eh?"

"Do you remember when we were chased by that black demonic beast? He made soup for us when we took shelter in his hut."

"Ah, yeah, now that you mention it......"

"It tasted kinda simple, but it wasn\'t bad~~. Somehow, I think it was similar to your cooking."

"Hmm, I wonder if it was......"

Shina honestly did not remember the taste at all, because she was trapped in a lot of trouble at the time.

Looking back on it now that she was able to get past that crisis, she felt that it was a bit of a letdown that she didn\'t remember it.

"I wonder what he\'s up to now......."

Looking out the window, she could not help but notice a large building amidst the roofs of houses illuminated by the morning sun. It is the boys\' dormitory of the Soluminati Academy. That is where he currently resides.

*Thump, thump......*

For some reason, her heartbeat started to beat faster. And she noticed that her eyes were naturally drawn farther and farther into the distance.

"Hm? Shina, what\'s wrong? You\'re staring blankly out the window."

"N-, no, it\'s nothing. Anyway, let\'s hurry up. If we take too long, we\'ll be late for class."

"Oh, no!"

Mimuru shoveled her meal into her mouth in a hurry and began thrashing around, stuffing her bag with the textbooks and tools she needed for today\'s class.

Basically, she prepared for her classes at the last minute, just in time. That\'s why she was always in such a rush whenever she left the dormitory.

Shina, on the other hand, had prepared everything yesterday, so she could take it easy.

"All right, I\'m ready to go! Shina, let\'s go!"

"Yeah, sure."

While chewing the last piece of bread, Shina put away the dishes and grabbed her bag.

(He should be on his way to school by now, too......)

She couldn\'t help but smile at the thought of him walking down the same path to school.

Before she knew it, her mouth was filled with a faint, strong scent of citrus.
