Without either of them realizing the grave Kaori had stepped into, the discussion about the date plans continued.
[In the evening, it’s ideal if we go to a place with a nice view…… preferably on a high hill, right?]
[Exactly. You know, watching the sunset side by side in a beautiful spot…… That sounds so nice…… I wish I’d had a springti of youth like that too.]
[Unn? Can’t you just do it now?]
[Ah, well, the springti of youth in a person's life is rather short…… No, errr…… it's a bit complicated to explain, so let's drop the subject.]
To Kaori, “the springti of youth” referred to the teenage years, but in this world, there were many long-lived species…… Even Olivia was over a thousand years old, and explaining this concept to her was challenging.
More to the point, from a long-lived being’s perspective, soone of Kaori's age was no different from a child. Yet, with her strong sense of human experience, Kaori saw herself as soone nearing her thirties, soone rather old already; this difference in perception was tough to connect with long-lived beings.
[A- Anyhow, the idea is to set a nice mood by watching the sunset together in a scenic spot, and then go to a slightly upscale restaurant for dinner. It’d be even better if it's a place with a night view.]
[Indeed, though it would be disrespectful to choose a cheap restaurant for Miyama Kaito-sama’s al, I understand he doesn’t favor overly luxurious places either, so sothing moderately upscale should work well.]
Since both were amateurs in romance, they’d settled on a safe, classic date plan. Nonetheless, the basic outline was decided.
Now, they just needed to choose and reserve a restaurant, so Kaori and Olivia continued their discussion with a variety of magazines in hand.
On a clear morning, as usual, I went through the letters sorted by Anima and found one from Olivia-san.
It was incredibly thick, and I almost thought there was a book inside, but when I took it out, I found what seed to be a letter made out of a hundred pages.
A bit overwheld by the sheer volu, I started reading. The first page was an apology for sending the letter out of the blue and a thank-you for receiving it…… and then, the first page ended.
After that, it was page after page filled with endless praise about , with no sign of her getting to the main point. No matter how many pages I turned, it was just more complints.
How should I say this…… The atmosphere this letter had felt rather familiar. It reminded of how Olivia-san would go into a “praise frenzy” whenever she got flustered. That being the case, she must’ve been quite nervous when she wrote this.
Unsure of what to make of it, I skimd through the praise-filled pages, looking for the main point…… Finally, about halfway through, I found sothing that seed relevant.
"……In line with this, if you would allow it, I would like to request a date with Miyama Kaito-sama. Of course, I understand that Miyama Kaito-sama has your own schedule, so I won’t insist, and I am willing to adjust the date to suit Miyama Kaito-sama's convenience. This is also part of the trials presented by Shallow Vernal-sama, and at the sa ti, I would like to take this opportunity to express my daily deep gratitude to Miyama Kaito-sama in so way, ager it may be……"
The letter continued on for what felt like forever, but at least I understood the main point. It seed that Olivia hoped to go on a date with at Shiro-san's suggestion.
Hmmm…… could this be related to that conversation Olivia-san and Shiro-san had during Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival? Given Olivia-san’s overly serious nature, Shiro-san might have casually advised her to go out sowhere with , which Olivia interpreted as a date.
But well…… If this really is connected to the Founding Festival, quite a bit of ti has passed…… Considering Olivia’s personality, she might have spent all this ti thinking and preparing.
Well, in any case, I don't really have any problem going out together with her…… oya?
"Additionally, Mizuhara Kaori has expressed interest in joining this date, and as she has frequently given advice, I would like to fulfill her wish. If it’s alright with Miyama Kaito-sama, would you allow Mizuhara Kaori to accompany us?"
Kaori-san also wants to join us on the date? Yeah, this really feels like an invitation for a fun outing for the three of us. Well, I have no objections to that. Hanging out with both Kaori-san and Olivia-san sounds like it could be quite enjoyable, so I’ll respond with my agreent.
……That aside, I still have about half of the letter left…… What else does this letter contain?
Even though I thought the main point was over, I was curious about the remaining pages…… As I flipped through, I found that they were filled with lengthy expressions of gratitude for my reading the letter, overflowing with thanks.
Serious-senpai : [Kaori, the beginning of the stomach is upon you…… No, in fact, how will Kaori feel after receiving Kaito's response and being told by Olivia about their three-person date……?]
