Eiji, who noticed Soma, opened his mouth while waving his hand wide in the air. Eri, who walked beside him, noticed Eiji's change in atmosphere, turned her gaze away, and saw Soma showing an awkward smile.
After his stealth was discovered, Soma could do nothing but sigh about his fate and approached the two.
"Good morning, you two. Are you on a date?".
The two of them show a difference in reaction in which Eiji's face was flushed like a boiled octopus, flailing his hands to the sides, and Eri, who was also red in the face, felt elated.
"No, no. We were just looking for a blacksmith to buy equipment and items".
"I see".
Eri, who heard Eiji's denial, puffed her cheek and threw her gaze away. But Eiji seems not to notice it as he is currently showing his back to Eri. Soma gave him a wry smile seeing them and struck upon a bright idea.
"It's coincident I also want to go toward a blacksmith shop. Want to come over?".
