Elsaki-san Wants to Do It Until She Dies

p1

Elves...
A race with the greatest history out of all races living in this world.
Both the men and women are very handsome and are known for having longer ears than humans.

For the sake of preservation, they live deep in the woods and rarely show themselves in human habitats.
Hmm...

Elves really are pretty, huh?
They seem to like the quiet life. I wonder if we'll be able to get along...

p2

...An elf moving in next door, you say?

Yes! A granny on the last leg of her lifespan.
She's coming down to the human habitat to make some memories.

Landlady

Why call me about that...?
You don't want an old lady dying alone, do you? You're neighbors and all, so go teach her about the human world.

Even if you ask me that...
I gave you an extension on your rent, didn't I? Okay, take care of it<3
Eh? Can't you tell me a little more about what she's...
Ah, she hung up on me.

p3

Well, I'm sure it'll work out...

Elves for Slimies

?
Who could that be?

Coming~

p4

Nice to meetcha!
I just moved in next door!

A surprisingly energetic neighbor makes her appearance.

p5

Wasn't she supposed to be a granny...?
...Oh right. Elves have eternal youth.
I appreciate your courtesy...

Please take care of me from now...
...Hah!
It's that time already!?

Sorry, Neighbor! I bet you have a bunch of stuff to ask, but I gotta go!
I wouldn't call it a bunch, per se.

I'm pretty busy despite how I look!
Hah...

...I'm pretty busy despite how I look!!
I get it! You don't need to repeat yourself!

Well then, catch you later!

p6

That's what she said, but...

It's her first time in the human habitat, right...? Will she be okay?
Well, the security around here is good, so it shouldn't be a...

...Hm?

UWAAAAH
What's going on here...!?

p7

U-Um...

Do you need any help?
N-Neighbor!!

H-How did you know I needed help!?

I need help

It's written all over your face.
I've never seen an elf as expressive as you before.

I didn't lose my way or anything...

East Entrance

but I did get trapped in this complex and mysterious maze...
What a fiendish trap.
This station isn't that complex.

p8

Would you like me to guide you to the exit?

I-I'd feel bad...

Being treated so kindly by someone I've barely just met...

Hah

Are you planning on using sweet words to trick me!?
That was a close one!!
No, I'm leaving the station too.

p9

I-In that case, please lead the way.
Erm...

I'm Samekawa.

My name's Elsaki.
Elsaki?

That's a pretty unique name.

...Ah, sorry if I offended you.
Fufufu.
Y'see, this name,

is something I came up with myself after my friend advised me to use an alias since the human habitat is a scary place.
That's some strange security-consciousness you got there.

p10

Speaking of which, what made you come to the city, Elsaki-san?
The landlady kinda skimped on the details.
!

I'm glad you asked!

I've only got a little of my lifespan left.
I know myself better than anyone, so I can feel it somehow.

I've always been stuck in the woods up until now,
but I've always admired the big city...

I figured I should just do everything I wanted to do before I die and came here.
Here's my bucket list.

p11

That's heavier than I expected...
Ah, sorry to drop that on you so suddenly.

I've lived a long and healthy life.
Don't worry. Elves are full of energy right up until their time to die, so I won't cause you any trouble, Samekawa-san.

For now, a week should be enough! Let's do everything while I'm still healthy!
Elsaki-san...

...What's next on your schedule today?
Erm, I was thinking of going to eat one of these so-called "hamburgers".

If you're not against, how about I help you check off your list?
I'll guide you around.
B-But...

...are you sure?

p12

T-To think I'd be treated with such kindness...! But there's a chance she could be tricking me...
But if worse comes to worst, I can poison her with this secret medicine passed down through elf generations...
You're saying all of that out loud.

I get that you don't trust me, but...

We've become neighbors and all, so that's something, right...?
Samekawa-san...!

...Understood.
If you put it that way,

then from now on, we're allies striving to carry out an objective...
No, I dare say that we are buddies!!
It's worrying how quickly you can trust someone like that...

p13

...Elves don't usually hang around in groups,

so back in the woods, I would watch movies via subscription services and amire these "buddies"...
The elf forest gets internet reception, huh...

My apologies,
but things are about to get busy!

Follow me, Samekawa-san!!
That's the wrong way!

p14

Day 1: Eat a hamburger

It looks good, huh?
All we had to eat in the woods were nuts and grass and things with no flavor whatsoever, so I've always wanted to try one of these.
That's one way to put it.

Well then,
let's dig in right away!

p15

Mmm~<3

She's really enjoying it...

Cola.

Elsaki-san, about what's next on your schedule...

...!
...!!
You can finish your drink first. No need to rush.

p16

Mmph mmmph mmph!
I have no idea what you're saying.
Wait...

You sure are eating a lot.
Fufufu...
*2nd one

This one has cheese in it,
so it doesn't count!
No, it definitely counts.

I'll look up our next destination so we can go there another day.

...You're too kind, Samekawa-san. I worry that you're just trying to trick me...
Want a fry?
No thanks.
I'm surprised nobody's ever tricked you before, Elsaki-san.

p17

The next place I wanna go is...

Singing acapella with trees back in the woods wasn't fun in the slightest,
so I've always wanted to go to a karaoke bar!
Day 2: Karaoke
I'm surprised you could live in the woods for so long.

But you have such a pretty voice, Elsaki-san.
I'm excited.
Hwah!?

Flattery will get you nowhere~!
Dehehe...
I feel like it'll get me somewhere if I keep it up...

p18

*Death metal voice
That's not what I expected!

The room's really shaking! Is this gonna be okay!?

p19

I always wanted to try singing that at least once.
Hah~<3
It surprised me, but you were really good...

I don't normally see anyone in the woods, so I can sing all I want.
Yummy fries.

Well, I did get one complaint, though!
You're annoying.
Sorry.
I guess trouble with the locals can happen anywhere...

So with that out of the way, let's pump it up even more!
Yeah!!

p20

Man~ That was fun!

But there's still more places to go!

Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6

p21

It's the sea!!
Day 7

I've only ever seen it in movies, so I've always wanted to see it in person.
The sea is so big~
I've heard the rumors, but the sea really is big, huh?

Well, the woods are pretty big too, though!
It's not a contest.

Of course, it's out of season, so there's nobody here.
Have some cocoa.
Thanks.
Indeed.

p22

Elsaki-san.

It might be a little cold,
but how we talk a stroll on the seaside?

p24

I just had to come to the sea.

Even if it's out of season,
I don't feel lonely since I have my buddy with me.

Not to mention drinking hot drinks at the beach out of season rules!
Yummy!!

...You may be right.

More than anything, since nobody's here...

p25

we have the place all to ourselves.

Elsaki-san...?

p26

...Elsaki-san, what's next...?

Actually, that was the last thing on the list.
!

Today was so much fun.
Thank you, Samekawa-san.

Elsaki-san...

...And so, the week came to an end with Elsaki-san completing everything on her list.
Goodbye~

I don't know how much longer Elsaki-san will be healthy for,
but I hope I can be a good neighbor until the very end.

p27

...One month later.

Coming~

p28

Amekawa-san!
Let's go out again today! There's still more things I wanna do!

I underestimated an elf's lifespan.
Even after a month since I first me her, Elsaki-san's still full of energy.

...Elsaki-san, how much is left on your bucket list?
Let's see...

p29

About 100 pages, give or take.
That many!?

My remaining lifespan...
is a mere 100 years. I wonder if I'll be able to do it all...
Time goes so fast.
100 years!?
Our lifespans are on a completely different scale!

So with that said,

it's good to have you on this journey!
Hope you'll keep on getting along with me, buddy!
Our shedule has been planned out for the next 100 years.
