★Melonbooks Limited Short Story “A Hero Can't Fulfill Love”
The pie served for dinner was cold. So I straightforwardly remarked, “It’s cold.”
And yet, Itsune glared at me like she was looking at a
pig before responding.
“Well then, Nott, why don’t
you think about it and figure out why there’s a cold pie then?”
What did she mean by
that? I turned my attention towards the
large, white tablecloth-covered dining table.
From what I could tell, my portion was one slice of a pie that was equally
divided into six pieces. That was all
that was served on my plate, and I didn’t spot the other five slices. The platter that should have held the pie
before it was divvied up was also missing.
I don’t like fussing over the details like a certain sleazy pig, but I also didn’t want to be made to look like an idiot by Itsune, so I gave it a little more thought.
