When I arrived at the castle in the sky, using a thod of transportation that I’ve only seen in gag comics, I gave Alice a resentful look.
[……You……]
[K- Kaito-san, w- well, please calm down. There’s no way I’d let Kaito-san get hurt. L- Look, I caught you gently, didn’t I?]
[You throwing here and you catching gently are two different things……]
I certainly wasn’t injured at all. Alice showed off her uselessly high specs and caught without , feeling even the slightest impact at all.
However, I’d like her to think about this…… The fact that she had thrown off the seesaw herself, and overtaking it, she had caught my airborne body…… It was really obvious that Alice could have just carried here, even if she carried normally, and we would arrive much faster than being propelled by a seesaw.
In other words, that seesaw catapult is completely one of her stupid pranks again.
[N- Now, now, Kaito-an, you don’t have to look that scary…… L- Look, everyone is waiting inside, and we don’t have ti for a long scolding here……]
[You’re right…… Alice, open your mouth for a bit.]
[I don’t see the connection between those two at all though!? Also, I have a really bad feeling about this……]
I certainly don’t have the ti to scold Alice when everyone is waiting for . But if I just let Alice get away with this, I won’t be able to contain my anger.
That’s why, after instructing Alice to open her mouth, I took out one of the “orange, purple and black marbled baby castellas” from my magic box.
[……No, no, Kaito-san. You can’t do that…… That thing’s color doesn’t look like sothing living beings can eat……]
[Don’t worry…… “I ate one of these too”……]
[Kaito-san, I think you should be a bit more strict with Kuro-san…… Ah, wait, don’t bring that thing near ! The fact that you took that out in this situation ans that thing isn’t deli———- Mogaa!?]
She seed to be saying sothing, but I ignored her and forcibly threw the “worst baby castella I’ve ever eaten” into Alice’s mouth.
Thereupon, looking as if she had given up, Alice chewed her food…… and she got down on one knee.
[……Eh? Gross!? What is this!? Can you even call this cooking…… I’m one of the strongest people in the world, but even I have taken so “serious damage”…… Is this one of those foods that deals “fixed damage”?]
[……I fainted when I ate it.]
[Putting aside Kuro-san who is making dangerous food like this, why is Kaito-san eating this too!? It’s like you stepped on sothing that obviously looked like a landmine……]
[I couldn’t say no to her after all……]
It’s strange as to why Alice ntioned fixed damage when she’s eating food, but I can sohow relate as to why she said that. I’ve always wanted to refuse when Kuro offers her cooking, but seeing her give the baby castella to with a blooming smile…… Even if I could see the landmine right before my eyes, I couldn’t help but step on it.
[Kaito-san, you’re spoiling Kuro-san too much!]
I’m aware of that too, but it can’t be helped…… This was the weakness that cos with falling in love with soone.
[……Ummm, Kaito-san. Errr…… I’ll make you sothing delicious later.]
[……Thanks.]
Arehh? This is strange. I’m pretty sure I’m scolding Alice, but now, she’s consoling . What the heck is with this strange atmosphere……
[……Let’s just go.]
[……Right.]
Since I was longer in the mood to scold Alice, I decided to head straight to the venue.
[S- Sohow, this place looked amazing up close…… These stairs and the decorations around it are really beautiful.]
[Ah, incidentally, I heard that this castle is made of a material that has never existed in this world before.]
[……I have a bad feeling about this, but what exactly is this?]
[I’m not really sure, but I heard that “it’s sturdy enough to withstand one of Kuro-san’s all-out punches”.]
[This thing can be called a fortress already.]
If I rember correctly, this castle was built by the God Realm…… In all likelihood, this was the work of Shiro-san, who had never heard what moderation ans. I an, why does a castle built for a party need to be so tough?
Could it be that they are planning for a situation where they can demonstrate this thing’s sturdiness? ……Can I go ho already?
[……By the way, are those trees that grow around the castle sothing amazing too?]
[I heard that they’re trees that bear fruits that “changes to the flavor that the person who eats it likes the most”.]
[……What about that fountain over there?]
[It was apparently “producing water that doubles magic power for two hours if drunk”.]
[And what does that have to do with my birthday?]
[……I dunno?]
This flying castle is seriously no good…… There’s a lot of crazy stuff here and there. If this is the case on the way to the entrance of the castle, what the heck would be inside this thing?
This is the venue for my birthday party, right? This isn’t so hidden dungeon or sothing like that, right? ……There are a lot of last-boss class people within the castle, so I guess that guess may not be wrong after all.
Dear Mom, Dad————- How should I say this…… I haven’t even entered the place yet, but cold sweat kept on dripping down my back. I an, I know I’ve been repeating this multiple tis already, but we’re having a birthday party for , right?————— Why did you have to get so serious in just making the venue!?
