1 Mystery of a Friend –Sena-
I made a new friend. A human friend.
But, I don’t know much about her.
Where she was born, where she was raised, and why did she come here to this town.
I still
 don’t know anything about her.
That day, I came to visit CafĂ© Mattari by myself in my human form. Hiding my ears and tail, and wearing something other than the mercsquad’s uniform. If an unknown stranger sees me, I’m sure they would think I’m a human.
Ring rang, as the doorbell rang. From the kitchen, Tenchou’s face was protruding out.
“Good afternoon, welcome”
A braided silver-haired woman, Rhonya. Narrowing her blue eyes, she cheerfully smiled
“Are you alone too today?”
“Last night, we encountered the human mercenaries. Since they were doing the fighting, we decided to quickly leave the place before the possibility of something troublesome happening. At times like these, we indulge in sleep at home. The others (Demis) are still sleeping in. Although I called out to them, they still won’t wake up”
We are hired by the fief lord of Domskhasa. Normally, the only mercenaries around here are just us, but sometimes, mercenaries hired by the neighboring cities would ‘come’ over here. Said mercenaries are mostly rough in personality, and not few would try to bring trouble.
At times when we encounter other groups of mercenaries, we quickly leave to avoid any possible troubles.
“Oh my, so that is so
 Are your bodies alright, living such an irregular rhythmic lifestyle?”
As I sat by the counter seat, she looked over me with a worrisome gaze.
“We’re much stronger than humans. It’ll be fine as long as we properly take our sleep”
“Even if you’re strong, it is best to not be negligent”
I could feel her heartfelt consideration from her words
 Even though there are plenty of people who hates demis, she really is a weird one.
“Would you like to order after everyone has reached?”
“I’ll do so. Can I have a latte first?”
“Alright”
Rhonya who replied with a gentle voice then returned to the kitchen.
Such a young and beautiful lady, moved over to the most edge town here and is handling this business alone.
From her choice of words and her behavior and manners, she looks like someone who grew up in a proper surrounding. Probably from a rich family, and bought the shop with her inheritance.
She once said, that she was in an environment where she couldn’t even read the books she wanted to, and only read popular books which was very weird. And so, I believe that she was forced to manual labor by the people around her. But the condition of her hands does not show those of which are forced to labor, a beautiful hand.
“Thank you for waiting”
Such beautiful hands then brought over a cup of latte and placed it in front of me. The flavorful scent of coffee mixed with a sweet scent can be smelled.
Rhonya then looked towards the book I left on the counter
“Are you going to be reading too today?”
“Yup. It’s a mystery novel for today. Do you like mystery novels, Rhonya?”
“Yes, I like them. Especially the detective ones”
“I’ll lend you once I’m done”
“Is that alright? Thank you very much” With a happy smile, Rhonya then continued ‘I would not continue bothering you any further’ and tried to go back to the kitchen, where I stopped her saying that I wouldn’t mind.
“Speaking of which, how was the Gauu steak the last time? As she asked, I answered with a smile.
“It was delicious. Everyone seems to like it too”
Even though it’s originally not in the menu, she served it to us. The Gauu steak with tomato sauce. To make sure that we do not get sick of it, she changed the flavoring. Even without doing so, us who were unable to easily indulge in delicious food were fulfilled with just grilled meat.
Answering to the expectations of other customers as well, Rhonya experiments in making new cakes. Which means that we’re not the only special case, but it’s definite that she cares deeply for us as her customers. It feels ticklish, but made me slightly happy about it.
Covering her mouth with her hand, she gently smiles. As I thought, it’s a behavior of someone refined.
Just then, a faint voice could be heard from the kitchen. Excusing herself, she then headed to the kitchen.
