When I returned ho from Archlesia Empire, it was already around the ti the sun was about to set. Shopping and going to the café with Marie-san had been so much fun that quite a bit of ti had passed.
Since Marie-san is younger than and about the sa age as Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, I can’t help wanting to buy her things or look after her.
Even though she’s a noble lady, she isn’t noble-like in a bad way; she feels surprisingly down-to-earth, so personally, she’s very easy to get along with.
Well, in any case, I had fun, and she seed happy, so that was good. According to Akane-san, various troubles were drawn to her because of the Ritch Barony’s territory matters, even though that wasn't my intention, so it seems this outing was a good distraction for her, which really was a relief.
She ntioned admiring pretty clothes and such too, so maybe Marie-san actually likes shopping a lot. She doesn’t have the financial leeway to visit the high-class shopping district often, but since her situation must be difficult, maybe next ti I can take her there again as a little break.
[Welco ho, Kaito-san.]
[Sieg-san? Good evening. Just finished work?]
[Yes, today I was on duty until evening, so I just got off. And I happened to see you coming ho……]
[I see…… I was thinking of taking Bell for a short walk before dinner, would you like to co with us?]
It seed Sieg-san had finished work at just the right ti, so since we’d crossed paths, I invited him to co along on Bell’s walk.
Bell is quite prideful, but she’s fond of Sieg-san, who takes good care of her, and doesn’t mind letting Sieg-san ride on her back, so going for a walk together wouldn’t be a problem.
Well, I got ho later than expected today, so it won’t be a long walk, just sothing light……
[That sounds nice. But in that case, how about we go after dinner?]
[After dinner?]
[Yes. Apparently, today’s a night when you can see a teor shower. If we head a little farther out to the hill southwest of the capital, we should get a beautiful view. If you’re willing, would you like to go see it together?]
[That sounds great. It seems fun, and Bell would enjoy a long trip too.]
According to Shiro-san, there is no such thing as "outer space" in this world, and the stars and moon in the night sky exist as part of a kind of world system.
Still, it’s not the exact sa sky every night, there are periodic teor showers, solar eclipses, and lunar eclipses, so the night sky doesn’t feel any different from the one in the world I ca from.
[Since it’s a special occasion, shall we bring so alcohol? Drinking a little while watching the stars sounds nice.]
[Indeed. In that case, I still have so ripple wine, the sa one we drank together when Kaito-san visited my family ho in Rigforeshia, so let’s bring that.]
[I’m looking forward to it. I’ll go explain things to Bell real quick. Ti-wise, right after dinner should be fine?]
[Yes. If we head out about 30 minutes after dinner, it should be just the right timing when we reach the hill.]
An unexpectedly fun plan had suddenly been added to my evening. After having a quick chat with Sieg-san, I explained things to Bell and then returned to my room.
Since I’d be heading out again soon, I didn’t bother changing into loungewear, staying as I was should be fine. There wasn’t anything extra I needed to bring either; most things were already inside the Magic Box.
As I was thinking that, a section of my room’s wall suddenly slid open…… revealing a staircase of so sort, and Alice climbed up from it.
[Kaito-san, if you’re going to see the teor shower, I’ve got sothing good for you.]
[……Before that, I want to know where those stairs I’ve never seen before lead.]
[……Well, sowhere. Anyway, more importantly, here!]
[I really should ask Canalis-san to do a thorough sweep soday…… So, what is…… hm? Wine?]
I accepted what Alice handed despite my exasperation. It was a bottle of wine that looked rather expensive. Is she telling to take it with and drink it with Sieg-san while we watch the teor shower? But why wine, all of a sudden?
[Well, I was planning to drink it myself…… but the situation isn't really one I can just sit back and enjoy, so please drink it with Sieg-san.]
[U- Unn? Well, I an, I appreciate the wine, but…… did sothing happen?]
[Hmm, rather than sothing happened, it's more like sothing's about to happen…… well, don’t worry about it. If you start getting involved in weird ways, there’s a chance even more things will pop up, so just don’t worry about it.]
[Wait, that sounds almost like you’re saying it’s basically my fault……]
[Well, it’s fine. This Subject K is an easy one for , just so light information control. So don’t think about it and enjoy your date with Sieg-san~~]
Saying that, Alice vanished. H- Hmmm…… I’m curious, obviously, but if Alice says it’s fine, then I guess I’m better off not worrying about it.
Stomachache Devil : [Carelessness, a lack of caution…… tell , is that really sothing that applies only to the Stomachache Warriors?]
Serious-senpai : [W- What are you……?]
●gar Devil : [You, Serious-senpai. Are you acting like so detached observer, thinking you can just relax and have a good ti? Aren’t you…… letting your guard down a bit too much?]
Serious-senpai : [Eh? M- ?]
●● Devil : [Your turn has co…… that’s what this ans. The sweet dream is over…… no, perhaps the sweet dream is only just beginning……]
Serious-senpai : [Y- Your na…… is changing……!]
Su● Devil : [Can’t understand? Or is it that you don’t want to understand? Or perhaps……]
Serious-senpai : [A- Ahh…… n- no way……]
Sugar Devil: [Don’t tell …… you’re still holding onto the fantasy sweeter than honeyed toast———— "It’s a stomachache chapter so I’ll be fine"? ]
Serious-senpai : [Gyaaaa!? It appeared!?]
