Kaori had an indescribable expression on her face, but since she was quick to switch gears, she collected herself shortly after and spoke up.
[Anyhow, I don't really understand stuff about prayers before or after dates, so let's just discuss the plans for the date itself.]
With her experience serving many custors in her role at her set-al restaurant, she knew that bringing up religious topics casually was risky.
That especially goes in this world, Trinia, where Gods actually existed and could even be glimpsed at events like the Festival of Heroes, with many holding strong faith towards them.
In the Friendship City Hikari, there's the Cathedral which is the central place of worship, so there are many devout believers here, and so of them co to her establishnt. However, if she carelessly picks up on conversations related to prayers and the like…… Well, it could turn into a very long talk. Therefore, Kaori had learned from experience that the best approach was to avoid denying others' beliefs while smoothly redirecting the topic elsewhere.
[Alright then. So, first, I’ll et up with Miyama Kaito-sama at the Cathedral, then teleport to the trade city in Archlesia Empire for so shopping, correct?]
[Yes, Olivia-sama is quite famous in the Friendship City, and even if you changed into casual clothes, there’s still a chance you'd be recognized, causing a bit of a scene. So I thought it would be best to visit another city. Plus, I read in a magazine that this trade city is recomnded as a date spot!]
Incidentally, it's worth noting that Kaori herself, despite giving advice, had zero dating experience. Her main knowledge of the subject ca from magazines and fictional stories. Aware of this, she decided to stick to the classic date plans without overthinking it.
[……However, is it really okay to have such a rough plan? We haven’t decided exactly where to shop or which stores to visit……]
[Olivia-sama, they say that over-planning a first date leads to failure. Not that I’m in any position to speak as my knowledge mostly cos from magazines but…… packing a tight schedule is unlikely to go smoothly, and a rigid plan can make it impossible to handle unexpected situations…… or so I've read.]
[Fumu…… While these vague plans make feel uneasy, Mizuhara Kaori’s point certainly is valid. If I fail to adapt to unforeseen circumstances and embarrass myself in front of Miyama Kaito-sama, it would be an unforgivable disgrace, one deserving of being thrown into a volcano.]
[……N- No, I don’t think it’s that serious…… b- but anyway, when it cos to basic dating experience, we’re nowhere near Kaito-kun’s level. In other words, we’re like dating amateurs, and Kaito-kun's the pro…… Honestly, it’d be best to keep our plan simple and let Kaito-kun lead.]
In reality, when it ca to dating experience, there was no comparison between them; Kaito was far more experienced. Even if they just set up a rough plan like casual window shopping, he would likely lead things smoothly to a certain extent.
[I don’t want to burden Miyama Kaito-sama with this, but at the sa ti, it would be the ultimate disrespect if my lack of experience led to him not enjoying himself…… This date thing is quite difficult.]
[Well, for the ti being, if you basically suggest going wherever Kaito-kun wants, he’ll make things flow nicely…… probably. T- Then, after that, you’ll have lunch at the reserved restaurant and go see a play. I wish there was a movie showing here but……]
[As for that play, Mizuhara Kaori strongly recomnded sothing romantic, but is it necessary for the the to be romance?]
[Yes, absolutely! When it cos to dates, it has to be romance movies…… or rather, romance-thed plays. The two of you can watch it, get into the mood, and afterward chat about your impressions at a café. Ahh, that's nice…… That kind of stuff…… I’d like to do that too…… I an, I’m way past the springti of youth but……]
[Fumu, understood. I’ll still have to consult about this with Miyama Kaito-sama, but I’ll give it so thought. As for the café……]
At that mont, Kaori had made a critical error, but she hadn’t realized it. She assud Olivia’s response was about the play.
But in the first place, Olivia was a person of utmost seriousness and, within Friendship City, soone holding powers comparable to a Supre God.
Such an Olivia had clearly heard Kaori’s self-deprecating muttering, and she took it quite literally.
In other words, she interpreted it as “Kaori must want to participate in the date with Kaito as well"……
Serious-senpai : [As expected of the Stomachache Warrior, beautifully digging her own grave herself……]
