Thanks for reading~
A long line had been made in the wide, city plaza.
"Kyaa, that's seriously so cute! I'm totes putting this on my dagger. Hey, Takun, let's both put it on something." (Demi-human)
"Uu~, that’s embarrassing but fine! I’ll put my『puurikura』with my girlfriend on my sword." (Demi-human)
"Guys, let's all take one together!" (Demi-human)
"Oh my gosh, yeah we should!" (Demi-human)
"Hey, do you wanna swap?" (Demi-human)
"I heard you can buy this 'puuribook' thing, which you can put your puurikura in." (Demi-human)
Puurikura. It's totally purikura.
A purple robed demi-human magician is using copy magic to take photos and put them on a small piece of paper that can be stuck onto things.
All these people are here to try out the black princess' new product. A lot of couple were taking pictures together, and it was a great success.
"Kuhahaha, I wonder if everyone was like this when purikura was first made in Japan." (Velt)
"This is fucking worthless. What's the point in getting a picture of your face with another person?" (Farga)
"I don't really get it either." (Dorauemon)
That’s what I thought too. Men especially, don’t really get this stuff.
And yet.
""""Sta~~~~~re."""" (Ura, Eljiela, Musashi and Cleran)
The women were all staring enviously, itching to take one.
"He, hey, Velt. Uh, you know. I don't think it would be a bad idea to try it out together." (Ura)
"Um, Velt-sama. If you are okay with it, would you like to, well, take one as a family?" (Eljiela)
"Ha~~~~~, puurikura~, I also, ah, no no no." (Musashi)
"Hey~, Farga~, hey~, can't we at least do it once?" (Cleran)
"Aburu abuu abaru!" (Cosmos)
While glancing repeatedly, they were pulling on our clothes, trying to bring us into the line.
Do women really like that kind of stuff?
Guys probably like boasting about pictures they took with their girlfriends, but it's not something that guys take the initiative in doing.
"I'm feeling good today, so I can take one with you if you want." (Velt)
"Oh, ohh, Ve, Velt, really!? Then, u~m, u~m, wait here! These signs show references for posing! Out of these, uh……… okay! How about this『kisspuri』one!" (Ura)
"No!" (Velt)
"Wh, why!? It says it's the standard one for couples! See! See!" (Ura)
"I'm not doing that, dumbass! Let's just take a normal one, not an embarrassing one!" (Velt)
"Uh, uh, the, then……… hm? Thi, this one! Velt! I'll give up on the kiss, so let's take this one instead! This one, where you have to hug me from the back!" (Ura)
"The a○naro hug? Really? No one in this world would know what the ○sunaro hug is." (Velt) (TL Note: This back hug is called the 'asunaro hug' because it's from a drama called Asunaro Hakusho which is apparently super famous.)
I wanted to just take a normal one, but she's literally crying, pleading me to take it with her.
I mean, she was depressed at the empire and pretty shocked at the matter with Eljiela, so maybe this much would be fine………
"Alright, fine, let's do it." (Velt)
"Ve, Velt! Veeeeeeelt!" (Ura)
It's embarrassing, but if this much is enough to make her happy………
"Abyuu!" (Cosmos)
"Ow!" (Velt)
"Abyuru! Abu! Bunpa! Paa! Bunpa! Paa!" (Cosmos)
"O, oi, don't get so angry." (Velt)
My cheeks were suddenly pinched by a pouting Cosmos.
"Cosmos is unhappy since we want to take one with you too, Velt-sama." (Eljiela)
"Bappun!" (Cosmos)
Cosmos nodded to Eljiela's words.
"So, Velt-sama. After you take one with Ursan……… please take one in this pose with us!" (Eljiela)
"Kyappu! Kyappu!" (Cosmos)
Eljiela and Cosmos excitedly pointed at a certain sign.
The pose on that sign was called the『family version』, where the baby's in the middle, and the father and mother are kissing the baby's cheeks from both sides.
"I'm not doing that ooooooooooooooone!" (Velt)
What's up with that happy, cozy photo?
I reflexively shouted, unexpectedly making Eljiela talk to Cosmos with a depressed face.
Then……
"No, no way, Velt-sama………… I, see………… that was unfortunate, wasn't it, Cosmos?" (Eljiela)
"Agyuru……… bu~……… hogyaa hogyaa hogyaa hogyaa hogyaa hogyaa hogyaa!" (Cosmos)
That's unfair……
"Come on, can't you just take one with them, otouto-kun?" (Cleran)
"We, well, I don't mind as long as you do the asuunarou hug thing with me." (Ura)
"Bro, you can't just make Cosmos-chan cry like that." (Dorauemon)
"Lord, I believe you should meet their expectations." (Musashi)
"This is fucking stupid. Just take it already." (Farga)
"How dare you trick my sis when you already have a child! Die die! " (Jubei)
"Sleazebag." (Ushiwaka)
"Lowlife." (Benkei)
Ahh, stop it, just stop it.
"Okay, I just have to take it, right!? Geez, stop going around, telling me what to do!" (Velt)
"Oh my, thank you, Velt-sama! This is wonderful, isn't it, Cosmos? Your paapa is truly a kind person." (Eljiela)
"Unpa! Unpa! Unpa!" (Cosmos)
Ah~, damn it.
I wonder what the people around us think of me.
"Hey, seriously, what's happening over there? He's taking pictures with his girlfriend, his wife and his child, like, what the hell?" (Demi-human)
"Wait, he's a human! Why's a human and a demon here? Are they slaves or something?" (Demi-human)
"Hyu~, that demon and the winged lady are both so hot." (Demi-human)
"Who’s that human they’re serving?" (Demi-human)
"Like, I feel like I've seen him before." (Demi-human)
We probably made too much of a racket, since the people around us were getting noisy.
I knew we would stand out.
"Come on, let's just take them already." (Velt)
"Oh, ohh, yeah. Ufu, ufufufufu." (Ura)
"Aren't you getting a little too happy?" (Velt)
"Fufufu. Let's send one of our puurikura in a letter to Melmsan!" (Ura)
He's probably going to laugh really hard if we send him our purikura.
Well, that's still better than showing Forna though.
If Forna saw it, she would definitely send me flying.
"Welcome. Here, come to this dark room to take a puurikura." (Robed demi-human)
The robed demi-human brought us to a rectangular box, so Ura and I got in first.
"Please take whichever pose you would like in front of this mirror. I will use copy magic to take a picture of your pose at my signal." (Demi-human magician)
It's purikura, but of course, they don't have any machines or anything to automatically say the signal.
We faced the large mirror in the dark room.
"Now, please take your poses." (Robed demi-human)
Alright, let's do it.
"I'm, I'm going to do it, okay?" (Velt)
"Su, sure. Do it." (Ura)
I put my hands around Ura from the back and hugged her………… she, she smells nice.
I thought her body would be firmer since hand-to-hand combat is her forte, but she's soft…… and her hair is silky……
"Nn, Velt………" (Ura)
She said that with an affectionate voice…… wait, Ura's blushing so hard.
Crap, this is too embarrassing.
"Alright, on one, three, two, one! Okay, done." (Robed demi-human)
There was a flash of magic light, and then it ended.
As we left the dark room, the robed demi-human handed us our purikura.
Ura showed the most joy she ever had when she received that purikura.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" (Ura)
I, isn't she embarrassed?
She's on her knees, raising the purikura up to the sky.
"This is great! Great! Great! Wha, what should I do with this, uh, for now, I'll put one in my purse…… and then, where else~." (Ura)
Stop it, don't go sticking them to stuff thoughtlessly.
You're a technically a demon princess, so you shouldn't be dancing for joy, it's disgraceful.
"We are up next, Velt-sama." (Eljiela)
"Paa! Dadadada, au!" (Cosmos)
"Ah~, alright, I get it! This is the last one though, okay!" (Velt)
Now I'm going to take the parent and child pose. Seriously, what's up with this? Am I going to be the first person in the world to take a parent and child pose straight after a lover pose?
However, I didn't take that pose, because……
"Wow, it's really booming. I guess it just means that girls are girls, even if they're demi-humans." (?)
Everyone in the plaza got excited the moment they saw who said that.
"Wait, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Black princess-sama is here!" (Demi-human)
"Crap, holy! Awesome!" (Demi-human)
"Hyaa, I'm so lucky! I can't believe I get to see black princess-sama!" (Demi-human)
"Uoo, black princess-sama, you're beautiful today too." (Demi-human)
"Ahh, you never fail to surprise us. As I thought, you really are an extraordinary genius!" (Demi-human)
People basked the princess in excessive praises as she walked towards them.
"Oh, ohh, so she is the one known as black princess-sama." (Musashi)
"She, she certainly is amazing in a lot of different ways." (Ura)
"Wa, wao, what kind of race is she from?" (Cleran)
She looked like an ultrrare creature.
This is my first time seeing something like that in this world.
I mean, it's definitely my first time seeing a dark elf, but that thing is completely different to a dark elf.
"Wai, wait a minute………… that's going way too far………" (Velt)
Long ears and brown skin are features special to dark elves, but to be frank, something outshone both those things.
Was it her bewitching slender body and large breasts? No, Eljiela would overwhelm her in a big breast battle.
Then, was it her mini-skirt together with her tight, collar shirt?
No……
"Uwa~, black princess-sama's nails are flower patterned and super colourful!" (Demi-human)
"Her hair is beige-coloured like milk tea this month. Every colour looks beautiful on her." (Demi-human)
"Ahh~n, her hairstyle today is seriously so cool! Seriously such a god! Like, she's just the best!" (Demi-human)
"We wouldn't be able to pull off that legendary, ascending pegasus hairstyle!" (Demi-human) (TL Note: I didn’t think it would actually be called the ‘ascending pegasus hairstyle’ in English lol )
Like, almost everything about her is amazing!
"No, elves are supposed to be like, fairies of the forest, aren't they!? I don't know much about dark elves, but we’re in THE fantasy right now! She's just a cakey, *ganguro gyaru! The otakus of the world will get pissed off if they saw that! You're wrecking all of their dreams!" (Velt) (TL Note: Fashion style of using a lot of makeup, have pandish eyes, spray tanned, wear a lot of colours and have dyed hair. Don’t know if there is an actual word to describe this in English.)
She also has an accessory with a star mark and a ring.
Anyone would become speechless if they see something like that.
"This is why black princess-sama is different to other elves." (Musashi)
Musashi was quite shocked by her unimaginable appearance, but she still opened her mouth, albeit timidly.
"Everyone unanimously says that she is not an elf, but a mutated creature. On top of that, black princess-sama herself claimed to be a『Gyaru Elf』, aka a『Gyalf』." (Musashi)
Yeah, that's definitely not an elf. That's a gyalf.
I just stayed still, speechless and overcome with surprise for a while.
"Ah, geez, you guys are totes too noisy. This is so~ embarrassing." (Black princess)
The godly, charismatic gyalf waved her hand at everyone and said that, but like, how am I supposed to talk to her?
