"I'm a Spirit~"
When Yuto heard the delicately dressed girl before him, who looked as exquisite and adorable as a porcelain doll, say those words, he was a little stunned.
Weren't Spirits supposed to have long ears, golden hair, and tall, beautiful figures?
The girl before him... clearly looked human.
Could it be that Spirits had different types too?
Ah...
The world really was full of wonders!
Yuto could not stop his thoughts from wandering.
"So cute!!!" ×2
Unlike Yuto, Ainz and Rimuru had a much stronger reaction toward the girl.
The last time the two of them had reacted this strongly was when Hatsune came.
Aside from those two, even the girls on the other side felt that the girl before them was very cute.
"Hehe~~~"
Tokisaki Kurumi lightly touched her lips with her finger and smiled beautifully.
Her current posture was extremely mature and alluring.
Although she looked like she should be around high school age, she carried a mature charm far beyond that of an adult woman.
Her eyes, like rubies soaked in blood, swept around the restaurant.
They were filled with all kinds of emotions.
Curiosity, surprise...
At this moment, even the word "excited" was not enough to fully describe what she was feeling~~~
However, Yuto's thoughts as he looked at her were much simpler.
'Mm.'
'This girl was really beautiful.'
...
Yuto served the girl named Tokisaki Kurumi a cup of tea.
It was only a small restaurant, so there was no rare or expensive tea prepared behind the counter. What he served her was just ordinary black tea, the kind that could be found in any supermarket~~~
However, the inexpensive tea did not make the girl show even the slightest dissatisfaction.
Instead, she smiled and drank it calmly.
Her movements were graceful and composed, completely like those of a noble young lady.
That made Yuto sigh quietly in his heart.
He had already met quite a few young ladies from wealthy families, but the feeling this girl gave him was especially unique.
Aside from the elegance and etiquette of a proper young lady, she also carried an alluring and dangerous aura that ordinary girls did not possess.
Yuto did not doubt her earlier claim that she was a Spirit.
Because he could truly sense a special aura from the girl before him.
It was not the feeling of a human.
Kurumi gently held the teacup.
Her fingers were like flawless white jade, and under the restaurant's lighting, they seemed to glow with a soft, milky-white color.
The dress she wore was woven from black and orange-red.
Unlike the pure, unchanging black, the orange on the hem of her dress shifted from light to dark, giving it a strange, eye-catching beauty.
The dress made her figure look especially striking.
Her black hair was tied into twin tails with orange-red ribbons.
Beside her, Ainz and Rimuru were both staring blankly at the girl.
Judging from their behavior so far, Yuto felt that these two seemed to have some inexplicable obsession with twin tails.
So many beautiful girls had come to the restaurant, yet he had not seen these two pay that much attention to all of them.
On the other hand, Hatsune and Tokisaki Kurumi, both of whom wore twin tails, had instantly attracted their attention.
Twin tails fetish...
That really did fit their identities as otaku.
While Yuto's thoughts wandered, the girl finished drinking her black tea and placed the cup down.
The gentle tap of the cup against the counter brought Yuto back to himself.
He quickly collected his thoughts and turned his attention back to the girl in front of him.
"Would you like anything else?"
Faced with Yuto's question, Kurumi smiled faintly.
Her smile was clearly cute, yet it carried a strangely seductive feeling that was hard to describe.
It was somewhat like the smiles of the older sisters from those adult shops on Ichinose Street.
"No need. A cup of black tea is enough."
Kurumi's voice was like a cat lightly scratching at a person's heart.
Soft and gentle, yet enough to stir a faint restlessness.
'This girl really was incredible...'
Yuto felt somewhat amazed in his heart.
He guessed that if the girl before him grew a few years older, she might become someone with a personality similar to Yakumo Yukari.
Someone who could hook another person's mind without them even realizing it.
"If you get hungry, please let me know."
Yuto nodded lightly toward the girl.
"Mm."
Kurumi answered very cutely, almost as if she were unconsciously acting spoiled.
"Uwah, so cute~~~"
Rimuru instantly looked as though he had been shot through the heart, and his round body immediately deflated.
Yuto looked at him and felt both helpless and amused.
Rimuru, could you have even a little dignity?
"Hmph~~~ My, are you a Slime?" Kurumi asked Rimuru with a smiling gaze.
Her laugh sounded just like that of a pure young girl amused by something cute.
Rimuru immediately became even softer, almost like a puddle of mud.
"Ah... Yes... I'm a slime..."
He lay there limply, and even his voice had lost all strength.
Kurumi gently covered her mouth and laughed.
"Mr. Slime is really cute~~~"
The girl's words were like some kind of stimulant.
Rimuru instantly snapped back into his original ball shape with a "pop."
Only, two faint rosy circles also appeared on his blue surface.
That was Rimuru's unique way of showing shyness!
"My name is Rimuru! Just call me Rimuru!"
"Mm. Hello, Rimuru."
"Uu..."
Faced with the girl's words, Rimuru became a little awkward.
This was his tragedy.
Before reincarnating in his previous life, he had been single since birth.
Chatting with girls was the thing he was worst at.
Especially when Tokisaki Kurumi was this beautiful.
That made Rimuru even less sure of what to say.
Yuto looked at Rimuru's embarrassed appearance and could only smile helplessly.
"Cough. I am Ainz."
Ainz lightly coughed, then took the initiative to introduce himself. This time, he did not try to act mysterious.
After all, he had already learned from his failure when Hatsune came before.
It was better to be proactive!
Kurumi's gaze turned toward Ainz.
When she had first entered the restaurant, she had been shocked by Ainz's appearance. Even now, she still could not face him completely calmly.
There was no helping that.
After all, Ainz's appearance... anyone who saw him would feel intimidated.
"Mm. Hello, Ainz-san."
Kurumi smiled faintly.
"You can call me Ainz as well."
"Then thank you, Ainz."
Facing Kurumi's smile, even Ainz's heart fluctuated slightly.
Only, his appearance was too good at hiding things.
After all, who could read the mood of a skeleton?
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've met... people like Ainz and Rimuru."
The girl seemed to want to find a topic to talk about, but she paused slightly near the end of her sentence.
That was because she was worried her words might offend Ainz and Rimuru.
When facing the unknown, caution was always a good thing.
This was a universal rule in every world.
"Speaking of that, Ainz and Rimuru were originally human." Yuto smiled and spoke.
The matter of Ainz and Rimuru reincarnating into other worlds was not a secret in the restaurant at all.
The two of them also did not care about it in the slightest.
It was not something shameful.
After hearing Yuto's words, Kurumi's eyes paused slightly, and a surprised look appeared in them.
"Then... how did you become like this?"
"Mm... I guess you could call it coincidence. Ainz and I both ended up like this because of something like that."
"Mm. That's right."
After that, Ainz and Rimuru began telling Kurumi about what had happened to them back then.
Yuto did not interrupt them.
He shifted his gaze slightly and suddenly noticed that his dragon girl seemed to be wearing a thoughtful expression.
That made Yuto's heart pause for a moment.
Ah!
So Tohru did have moments when she used her brain!
