For now, it doesn’t look like I need to worry about running out of ti to receive presents, so I spin the garapon again during a break between concerts.
Oh, it’s Isis-san. It hasn’t been that long since we talked during the exhibition match at the second ga tournant, so it’s not like this draw is early or anything, but for so reason, it feels like I got her pretty early.
Well, the order doesn’t really matter…… Though Shiro-san probably cared about that, I doubt it made much difference for the others. Since the system lets us receive and integrate presents from parallel worlds, there’s no pressure about making the last present so kind of grand finale.
[……Kaito…… happy…… birthday.]
[Thank you very much. I’m happy to be celebrated.]
[……If Kaito’s happy…… then I’m happy too…… but…… it kinda feels like I got a present…… before I even gave mine.]
She said that with a faint smile and showed the bracelet that Canalis-san had made earlier.
[Ahh, that bracelet…… is it working out well?]
[……Unn…… it’s amazing…… As long as no one gets within 50 cm, it’s fine…… So I can put up a small barrier at about 50 cm…… and if it keeps people with weak powers from getting too close, I can be relieved…… Before, I needed at least 5 m, which made it difficult…… but 50 cm is easy to maintain all the ti…… and it doesn’t bother people around …… so it’s a relief.]
[Yeah, I get that. If you have to block out a 5-ter radius, that’s a pretty big area. I’m glad to hear it’s easier now. I know I’m copying what you just said, but…… seeing you happy makes happy too, Isis-san.]
[……Kaito…… unn.]
Isis-san gave a deeply heartfelt smile at my words, and just seeing that expression filled with happiness.
Thereupon, as if she just rembered, she pulled out a wrapped package.
[……Ah…… I need to give you your present…… Here…… I hope you like it.]
[Thank you. Is it okay if I open it now?]
[……Unn.]
Judging from the feel, the size, and the shape of the wrapping, it seed like it might be a book. Isis-san loves books, so that would make sense. Maybe it’s a recomndation she hasn’t told about yet?
Thinking that, I opened the bag, and inside was a book with a large Blue Crystal Flower illustrated on the cover…… but it didn’t have a title. I flipped through the pages and found they were all blank.
[……Ah, is this maybe…… a diary book?]
[……Unn…… you told you still write in your diary sotis…… though not as often as before…… so I thought you might use it for that…… and I made it.]
[Eh? You made this yourself, Isis-san?]
[……Unn…… making a book isn’t that hard…… I practiced drawing the cover.]
Oh my, the present was a handmade diary book from Isis-san. The book itself was sturdy, and the cover was so beautiful that I had assud it was a comrcially sold product, so I was genuinely surprised.
Wait…… Isis-san can draw too? Now that I think about it, she does have a refined and artistic vibe about her, so that kind of talent fits.
[That's amazing! Thank you very much…… Ah, I just thought of sothing. Since I received it from you, maybe I could use this diary book exclusively for mories with you. That way, when I look back on it later, I can recall and relive all the fun tis we shared.]
[……That’s…… really lovely…… If you use it that way…… I’ll be very happy too.]
It was a spur-of-the-mont idea, but having different diaries for different people might not be a bad concept. Having too many would be a hassle, of course, but for my lovers, it could be nice to have a separate one, write in it after our date, for instance. It would probably feel wonderful to look back on later.
[Anyway, thank you again for the wonderful gift. Let’s hang out again soon! With that bracelet, I think going on a date in the city could be really nice too.]
[……Unn…… I’m really looking forward to it…… Fufu…… Being able to look forward to the future like this…… makes really happy…… It’s all thanks to you, Kaito…… I’d love to talk more but…… the next live show’s about to start, so…… I’ll head back.]
[Okay.]
After smiling happily, Isis-san suddenly seed to have thought of sothing, then quietly hugged and whispered into my ear.
[……Kaito…… I love you.]
And as she let go of , she gently brushed her lips against mine in a swift, feather-light kiss, then with a bashful smile, she waved adorably before returning to the party.
? ? ? : [It has begun huh.]
Serious-senpai : [Yeah…… it’s begun. Hell itself…… But I’ve made it this far, surviving countless shurabas!!! Now I’ll show you my perfect new counterasure against sweet developnts!!]
? ? ? : [Have you…… ever actually overco any of them? Also, new counterasure……]
Serious-senpai : [Anyway, I’m going to sleep…… Wake up when the sweet stuff is over……]
? ? ? : [No, that’s not new at all though…… You've tried that so many tis before and never once pulled it off……]
