It somehow succeeded in detaining Ringo-san―

I tried to call the police.

However, the suspicious man has only been loitering around in front of the house without any kind of activity, is what they’ve said.

As expected, there’s no choice but to rely on ourselves to do something……

When I looked at situation of the stalker man,
from a shadow in a slightly remote position, he was eating anpan and drinking milk whilst observing our direction.
It feels like an ambush!

Should I go to that guy?
No, since Elena put me on complete bed rest, permission is needed when going to the restroom.
If I go outside, not to mention making a racket, she will get angry.

Should I make Aya go?
Aya will surely be able to win with room to spare but I’m still somewhat worried.
Overenthusiastic, Aya will have the stalker man……
No, let’s stop thinking about it.

If it’s Mai-san I can leave it to her with a peace of mind.
When you look at it from a third person point of view, a 30 year old DT making a little girl face a dangerous person……　What the heck!　Being a DT is unrelated!!

Well, it’s best not to get the unrelated Mai-san involved.
Though she got dragged in at that time of cosplay convention.

When I continue to watch the stalker whilst thinking such a thing……

「I brought you dinner, Seiji-sama.」

Elena brought me dinner.

Oh, how lucky.
If I have Elena to take care of me like this, getting sick all the time may also be fine.

Wa!?
I regretted it, I almost forgot something important.

「Who made this dish, Elena?」
「It was made by the 3 of us.
Was it bad?」
「It taste good, it taste good.
Thank you, Elena.」

I completely forgot about the stalker.
With「Aaan」, I had Elena feed me
a delicious dinner full of love.

However, before I knew it, Aya, who looked bitter for some reason, is peering through the gap of the room’s door.
Did you want to be fed by Elena with「Aaan」that much?
She’s probably jealous.

I had Elena feed me while giving Aya a glancing triumphant look.
Aya sulked and left.

「Thank you for the delicious meal.」
「It wasn’t much.」

「Ah, wait a sec, Elena.」
「Yes, what is it?」

「Please take this.」

I took the accessories I’ve made from 10 Aurum silver coins out of the inventory and had Elena keep them.

「I’ll show it to Ringo-san.」
「Yes, let me know what she thinks about them.」
「Yes, I understand.」

Elena left the room,
Though I was savoring the happiness until a while ago,

I switched my mood and resumed in monitoring the stalker.
However, the stalker got on a train.

Hm?　Has he given up already?
Well, at any rate, it’s good, it’s good.

After a while, I heard happy voices coming from the living room so I tried to peek through Elena’s beacon.

「This is really elaborate. It’s very well made.」
「I know right!」

Why is Aya making a triumphant look?

「The color in particular is beautiful, what kind of metal is this?」
「This seems to be silver.」

「Silver!?　It has this color even though it’s silver……
is it not pure silver by any chance?」
「I wonder, I have to ask oniichan.」

「T-, That’s right.
Because pure silver seems to be very difficult to process,
it’s not pure silver, is it?」

Well, it’s pure silver.

「Ah, but, the metal pins part is not yet finished.」
「According to Seiji-sama, because he doesn’t understand it well, he has to ask Ringo-san.」

「Is that so~? Well, the metal pins part is difficult and complex to make.」

Ringo-san thought a bit,

「Since I’ll go to a store specialized in metal pins, I’ll ask them to install it.」
「Tomorrow!?」

Elena and Aya, who knows the stalker situation, had their faces stiffened.

「Eh?　Why do you look strange, you two?」
「Ah, errr… wait, let’s ask oniichan.」
「U-, Un.」

Aya called me on my cellphone.

『Oniichan, you know……』
『Iya, I’ve heard what you guys were talking about.』

『As expected.
So, what do you think we should do?』

『Umu, it’s dangerous but……
Aya, you go with Ringo-san as her guard.』
『Un, I understand. That’s what I was planning to do as well.』

「It has been decided, I’ll also go along with Ringo-chan.」
「Why?
Isn’t it boring since I’m only going to buy a metal pins?」

「Well……
Right!　I love metal pins!!
I love metal pins so much that I want to soak in a bath of metal pins!」
「I-, Is that so. I understand.」

「Elena-chan, I’ll leave oniichan’s nursing to you.」
「Yes, leave it to me.」

With the two’s abnormally imperious appearance, Ringo-san backed down a bit.

After a while, when I tried to confirm the stalker man’s situation―

He was again leaning towards the door and watching the situation inside.

Gross!!!

Hm?　But……
this door, it’s not the door of my house!?

The room number was drawn on the nameplate with a lovely, hand-drawn apple mark.

Since the name isn’t written on the nameplate, I don’t know whose house it is……
Nameplate with apple mark……
Perhaps, it’s Ringo-san’s house.¹

Stalker man seemed to have wait-and-see around the door for a while and gave up after he found out that there was nobody home.
He returned to his house dejectedly.

The unaware Ringo-san’s happy voice can be heard from the living room.
I must help Ringo-san here at all cost!

With a determination in heart,
I need to quickly get rid of my cold too in case of something unexpected happens.
Casting【Sleep】magic on myself, I quickly fell asleep.
