After finishing my bath, I wiped myself down and headed to the changing room, where I noticed the hummingbird magic tool I had left there blinking. The hummingbird magic tool has sothing like what you’d call "sleep mode" on a smartphone…… a standby mode.
When you leave it in this state while sleeping and the like, any incoming hummingbirds are stored inside the magic tool, and the magic tool itself blinks faintly so it isn’t too bright.
If you touch the magic tool in this state, the received hummingbirds will appear, so you can just touch it to check them.
When I checked, it turned out to be a ssage from Kaori-san. She wanted to visit my room, so she asked to contact her after I got out of the bath.
I dried my hair and changed clothes, taking them out of the magic box. Originally, I was planning to go straight to bed, so I had intended to put on sleepwear, but since Kaori-san was coming, casual everyday clothes would be fine.
After changing, I used the hummingbird to tell her that I was heading back to my room now, then returned to my room. About 5 minutes later, Kaori-san ca by, so I opened the door to welco her.
[Welco, Kaori-san.]
[Sorry for coming so suddenly…… well, you see, I can’t really fall asleep right away after getting out of the bath, and if Kaito-kun doesn’t mind, I was hoping you could keep company for a bit of casual chatting…… and also, my room is so big that it’s kind of hard to relax when I’m alone.]
[Ah, I see. That’s fine.]
I understood how Kaori-san felt. I’ve gotten used to it by now, but when I first ca to this world, the room I was assigned was so spacious that it made feel strangely unsettled too.
It might be a little different from not being able to sleep because your pillow is different, but when the atmosphere of a room, or the mood itself, so to speak, is different, it’s natural for anyone to feel at least a little uneasy until they get used to it.
[Ah, Kaori-san, would you like sothing to drink? Since it’s night, coffee might not be a great idea, so how about so cocoa?]
[If you have so, I’d love to, but is that okay?]
[Of course. Please wait a mont. I’ll get it ready right away.]
Since I had so cocoa that Aria-san gave for my birthday, I decided to use that and took the can out of the magic box.
[Unn? Isn’t that a tea can?]
[It looks like a tea can, but the contents are cocoa. It was a gift. And then there’s this milk……]
[Is that milk sothing amazing?]
[Well, amazing in a sense…… you know Canalis-san, right?]
[Unn. The Omnipotent and Omniscient God who’s staying with Kaito-kun, right?]
I prefer making cocoa with milk rather than hot water, so I took out the milk Canalis-san gave , put it into the heating magic tool, and answered Kaori-san’s question at the sa ti.
[Yes, that Canalis-san has been doing all sorts of selective breeding experints with dairy cows lately……]
[Selective breeding…… of dairy cows……]
[Why are you repeating that with a face like you just heard so incomprehensible words?]
[Well, if you tell that an Omnipotent and Omniscient God is raising dairy cows, I’m bound to react like this……]
[She was raising chickens too, you know. W- Well, anyway, after a lot of trial and error, she ended up making a kind of milk that seems to pair well with cocoa, so she gave it to as a present. I was thinking of using that……]
[Hehh, I see. So this is milk that a God produced through trial and error…… I wonder if the fence called "common sense" even exists around Kaito-kun…… well, at least I get that it’s amazing milk.]
[She personally said it was more like sothing that just happened by accident though.]
Rather than using her God Power to do everything instantly, Canalis-san is the type who enjoys experinting and tinkering with things, so the milk I was using this ti also felt like sothing that ca about by chance.
If I rember right, at first she was trying to create milk suitable for sweets sold at Nifty, so milk tailored specifically for cocoa was a different concept altogether…… especially since Nifty is a tea brand…… well, personally, I’m just happy to have good milk for drinking cocoa, so I have zero complaints.
[Here you go.]
[Thanks! Mmm, it slls great! Cocoa at night really is nice. It’s kind of soothing, and it feels like it’d help you fall asleep more easily.]
[How is your sleep usually, Kaori-san? I fell asleep pretty quickly myself……]
[I think I’m pretty good at falling asleep too. When I decide to sleep, I can doze off right away. Today was really fun, but it was also pretty tiring, so I might fall asleep the mont I get into bed.]
I handed Kaori-san the cocoa in a mug, and just like when we were watching a movie, the two of us sat side by side on the sofa and chatted.
Maybe because she had just taken a bath, but a soft, pleasant scent drifted from Kaori-san, different from the sll of cocoa.
Just like that, we continued drinking cocoa and making idle small talk. The atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried, and as we slowly exchanged words, I felt a comfortable sense of ease.
From ti to ti, the conversation would trail off into silence, but it wasn’t awkward. It felt more like a pause born of mutual relaxation, and I had the sense that we were spending a genuinely pleasant ti together.
[……By the way, Kaori-san, do you have any preferences for breakfast tomorrow morning?]
[…………………..]
[……Kaori-san?]
Since Kaori-san was planning to eat breakfast here, I asked in case she had a preference for bread or rice, but unlike usual, she didn’t respond right away. Tilting my head in confusion, I turned toward her, and at that exact mont, Kaori-san gently leaned over against .
[……Huh?]
[……Zzz…… zzz……]
……Eh? Arehh? Hold on a second…… could it be that Kaori-san…… fell asleep?
Serious-senpai : [This is bad, bad, bad…… This is not a good developnt, this is really not good……]
Makina : [Go! My beloved child!! That’s it, princess carry!!]
Serious-senpai : [Don’t go saying unnecessary cr*p, d*mn it!]
Makina : [My beloved child giving my child a princess carry, this is a MAX-tier blessed scene just for !! Go~~! Do your best, my beloved child!!]
