Elma Chapter 42

Elma and Lessons on Beating the Summer Fatigue is the forty-second chapter of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Elma OL Nikki

Summary
Elma and Ilulu help with Taketo's summer fatigue.

Plot
While Elma was out shopping on her day off, she is intercepted on the street by Ilulu, who tearfully asks for her help because apparently Taketo is sick. Elma without questioning it, decides to help.

Once at Taketo's house, Elma decides to force her lunch into him, believing that food can replenish energy when sick. That makes Taketo react, who says that he was just tired from summer fatigue and that he was nothing bad. He still thanks Ilulu for her concern, making her blush. Even though Taketo wants some rest, Elma isn't going to give up on curing his summer fatigue (even though she clearly doesn't know what it is).

After some research, Elma thinks that good hydration can help beat the heat. But she suggests him to drink boiled water, since tap water could only make him sick from something else. After Ilulu brings him the water, Taketo thanks her, making her blush again. Because Ilulu doesn't know why this happen to her lately whenever she is with Taketo, Elma thinks that Ilulu is having a summer fatigue too and decides to subject her to her treatment as well.

Once Taketo ends up giving in to Elma's help, they end up going to a restaurant for some spicy food, which again, Elma believes can help him. However, the food turns out to be too spicy and hot for Taketo, so Elma ends up suggesting that he accompany it with something else, so Taketo only ends up thinking that Elma was just looking to eat instead of helping him. Later on the way back, Elma notices how happy Ilulu is when she is together with Taketo and how different she is now from when she met her.

Days later, Ilulu notices that she keeps turning red every time she is with Taketo, so Elma thinks that since they are dragons, maybe they need a dragon treatment. Kobayashi finds them exercising, realizing that Elma clearly still has a lot to learn about human life.
