After so ti has passed, I walk towards the port city with the rejuvenated Shea-san, Fate-san and Heart-san.
I strangely didn’t see anyone along the way, and just as I was craning my head around, Heart-san apparently gave instructions to the residents beforehand to wait in the city for Fate-san, the Supre God, to co.
Co to think of it, Fate-san surprisingly didn’t ask for a piggyback ride when we were heading into the city.
Walking for a while without having any particular conversation with each other, when the gate to the city ca into view, Fate-san looked up at and spoke.
[Okay then, Kai-chan. We’ll go to the preparatory eting, so Kai-chan can go sightseeing in the anti…… God of Love.]
[Yes. Miyama-sama, please look at this.]
[……What’s this?]
[The eting probably wouldn’t end today, so I’ve arranged for accommodations here. I have already contacted Duchess Albert about this, so you can stay here for these few days.]
[Y- Yes. Thank you.]
Heart-san handed a map with the location of the inn, which is apparently the place I’m staying at today…… Eh? I an, they’ve already decided to stay in a place that I don’t know about? W- Well, I’d certainly like to have a tour around the Hydra Kingdom…… so it should be fine.
[Well then~~ I’m looking forward to our date after the preparatory eting , okay!?]
[……Errr…… Ah, yes.]
I don’t rember agreeing to that date at all, but I think that refuting Fate-san here would be useless.
When I received the map, my thoughts completely resigned from what is happening……
[Well then…… Shall we go?]
[ [ Hahh!!! ] ] ]
[!? ]
At that mont, the atmosphere around Fate-san changed.
An intimidating feeling of sharpness and coldness, as if she was a sharpened blade…… It’s a feeling that I can’t imagine from the usual Fate-san.
While I’m surprised by the atmosphere she had, Fate-san and the others walked into the gate.
Thereupon, a group of people who looked like gatekeepers opened the gate in a sowhat flustered manner…… And spreading out in that area was a cluster of people that filled the view.
The Supre God, Fate-san…… The people undoubtedly ca to see her, and seeing Fate-san’s figure, all of them dropped down on both of their knees and bowed their heads so quietly that it was quite surprising.
In the midst of the scene of the overwhelming scene, people dressed in luxurious armor…… people who look like knights approached Fate-san and gave her an extrely deep bow.
[……We bid you welco, God of Fate-sama. Seeing your lovely countenance is our greatest honor……]
[Your complints are unnecessary. Can you just quickly lead us now?]
[Y- Yes…… Excuse our rudeness!!!]
Is this person really Fate-san? It may be rude of to ask this, but such thoughts ca to my mind.
The words she spoke were so cold and heavy…… as if those words won’t allow even the slightest rebuttal at all…… Held within those words was the pressure of the absolute, they could even be considered as a true divine revelation. It even felt as if the temperature around the area dropped several degrees with just those few words.
As I was stunned, unable to say anything because of feeling a part of Fate-san that was unlike her, Shea-san ca up to and quietly muttered.
[……You should beco aware that you are just special.]
[Eh?]
[You are allowed to speak and even touch God of Fate-sama as an equal…… That is proof that God of Fate-sama considers you special…… You should bear that in mind.]
[……Y- Yes.]
Only saying those few words, Shea-san followed Fate-san as they started walking away.
Since the preparatory eting is going to be attended by Fate-san and the others, I stayed where I was and watched their backs as they walked away.
After parting ways with Fate-san and the others, I was leisurely walking around the city to check the location of the inn.
It’s a lively port city, and the wooden stalls are lined with all sorts of large and small fishes, and the voices of people selling them are resounding around.
I’ve never been to Tsukiji before, but it may have a scene like this.
(T/N: Tsukiji is a fish market in Tokyo.)
While I was looking at the bustling, refreshing hustle and bustle, I was thinking about having sothing to eat while sightseeing, when I heard a familiar voice.
When I looked back in the direction of the voice, there was a…… blue…… blue…… fish…… stuffed animal.
[They’re freshly fresh~~ Freshest of all fresh~~! They’re all fishes fresh from the net!!!]
[………………]
[Ahh, Kaito-san! What do you think? I really recomnd this o—– Fugyyaaahhh!?]
Oops, now I’ve gone and done it…… She looks really suspicious, so I reflexively hit her. Well, whatever. It’s just an idiot selling fish in a fish costu in a city like this, making herself look impossibly stupid after all…… It’s just Alice after all.
[Are you treating too anly!?]
[……What the heck are you doing here?]
What the heck happened for Alice, the owner of a general store in Symphonia Kingdom, to sell fish in a stuffed fish costu in a port city in Hydra Kingdom?
[Ahh, by the way, I’m the clone Alice-chan!]
[By the way, I’m the real Alice-chan!]
[……I’ll repeat it again. What the heck are you doing here?]
The idiot in a fish constu tells as she strikes an idiotic pose, while a familiar masked idiot appears from behind , also in an idiotic pose.
A pincer attack by two idiots…… What a terrifying formation, they have.
[Well~~ You see, just the miscellaneous goods store won’t feed my gam…… my stomach, so I was having my clones take a second job too……]
[……You said gambling just now, didn’t you?]
[A- A- Are you sure you’re not just imagining things? A- Anyway, my clones are doing business all over the place! Having this cute Alice-chan all over the place really fills the world with happiness, doesn’t it!!!?]
[……Can I hit you again?]
[Hieehhh!? P- Please don’t! The sidejob Alice-chans are fragile. If you hit them a few tis, they’ll disappear! I know that Kaito-san has an extre fetish to cause violence, but please excuse from t——- Ouch!? You just went and hit my real body!?]
Anyway, I hit the masked idiot this ti. Seriously, how much of a waste of specs is she…… Or rather, selling fish as a side job…… Is that really alright? Even though you’re supposed to be one of the Six Kings……
Feeling my head ache, I took a sidelong glance to the Alice in a fish costu who returned to trying to sell her fishes again, before talking to the main body Alice.
[……So, by the way, are they selling well?]
[……………….]
What a sad silence it is. It’s getting harder for to watch. Well, no matter how I look at it, I think it’s the stuffed costu’s fault…… Heck, why is she even wearing that stuffed costu? What’s with her passion for stuffed costus?
[W- Well, putting that aside…… Kaito-san!]
[Unnn?]
[I heard it! Or rather, I personally heard it! Going on a date with Fate-san, what does this an!?]
[Eh? N- No, that’s just sothing Fate-san selfishly……]
[It’s not that I don’t want you to go on a date with Fate-san, but when are you going to take to a fancy dinner date!? Even neglect play has its limits, you know!?]
[……Fancy…… Dinner date?]
Arehh? What is it, that sounds kind of familiar……
——-Go on a date with with a fancy dinner……
——-I- I understand.
[……Ah……]
Feeling my face turning pale, I felt cold sweat begin to run down my back.
T- That’s right…… I- I do rember making such a promise. T- This is bad, I completely forgot about it.
[……No way…… Don’t tell !? Kaito-san!?]
[Ah, no, errr……]
[You forgot, didn’t you!? You wiped out the mory of that ti into oblivion!!!? You just put it away in your mind, thinking that “It’s just Alice anyway, so it’s okay”, didn’t you!!!?]
[……I- I’m sorry!!! T- That not it, I’m not thinking that it’s just Alice anyway or anything like that…… It’s just that there was quite the commotion around that ti, so I completely forgot about it…… I- I’m sorry!]
As Alice resolutely protested at , I hurriedly bowed my head.
I’ve completely done it…… It completely slipped out of my mind.
After making that promise to Alice, I was quite busy with my confession to Kuro and replying to Isis-san’s confession, that it had completely disappeared from my mory.
T- There’s no excuse for this. This is completely my fault.
[That’s cruel, Kaito-san! I was looking forward to it!!! I just thought that you were teasing , you know!? I never thought that you would……]
[I- I’m really sorry!]
[……Anyway, anyway, I’m such a convenient woman for Kaito-san after all~~]
[N- No, I’m not thinking that way at all……]
[It’s just Alice, so it can’t be helped~~ I can feel at ease since it’s just Alice~~]
T- This is bad, she’s completely sulking. No, it was my fault in the first place, so it was obvious that she’d get angry but…… W- What should I do? I- Is there sothing that I could sohow do to make Alice lively again……
Feeling a large amount of sweat running down my body, I hurriedly looked around and incidentally saw a rather large stall selling grilled fish on a skewer nearby, and trying to clutch unto that straw, I quickly bought one of those and presented it in front of Alice.
[A- Alice, I’m really sorry…… Y- You can have this……]
[Aaaaahhhh! Kaito-san!? You think that if you just give food, I’ll keep quiet about this!!!? Please don’t take for a fool! I’m not such a, such a——- Yum! Eh? What is this, isn’t this absurdly delicious!?]
[R- Really? I’m glad you liked it…… No, Alice. I’m so sorry I forgot! As an apology, you can eat as much as you want from the store there!]
[As much as I want!? S- Seriously? M- Mnhhh…… I- It can’t be helped. It’s not like Kaito-san had any bad intentions either…… W- Well, Alice-chan has a big heart, so I can’t help but forgive you.]
A- Alright, I think I’ve sohow managed to get her mood back a little bit…… That’s great.
No, but, she still seems to be displeased, but if I push a bit more……
[……Ummm, I’ll make sure that we have our date soon…… And also, along with the dinner, we’ll also have a fancy lunch!]
[A fancy lunch too!? I forgive you! I completely forgive you!!!]
When Alice heard my words, her eyes dazzlingly lit up and she repeatedly nodded her head.
It seems that she has forgiven …… I’m really glad.
Dear Mom, Dad——— for this ti, I’m completely at fault. I did a really bad thing, completely forgetting about the promise I made to Alice. I’ve managed to get her to forgive this ti, but to make sure that this won’t happen again in the future——– Let’s make a note about the promises I made in the future.
[G- Go on, Alice. You don’t have to act reserved, and eat as much as you like……]
[Thank you! Well then, can I have “300 skewers” please!?]
[……Eh?]
[Ahh, you also have tsuboyaki too? Then, I’d also like “50” of those!]
(T/N: tsuboyaki is shellfish cooked in its own shell.)
[…………Eh?]
[Fish fillets? Then, I’d like “80 servings” of those and “60 pieces” of smoked fish…… Eh? Most Recomnded? Then, for the ti being, give “about 40” of that too……]
[…………………Eh?]
