It’s a mild afternoon, and the warm sunlight streaming in through the window lulls to sleep. Under such a comfortable atmosphere, I tilt my teacup filled with tea.
Back on Earth, I was more of a coffee drinker, but since I ca to this world, I’ve had many opportunities to drink tea, and now I’ve beco a tea lover to the point where I can sowhat understand the difference between different teas.
Incidentally, today’s tea…… is sohow like that. Errr, a little comforting and I can feel a tinge of sweetness, sothing like that. Well, I guess it’s fine as long as it tastes good.
[Speaking of which, in the end, you haven’t finished your greetings to everyone before the White God Festival arrived.]
[Yeah, co to think of it, I’m still in the middle of greeting the Seven Princesses, right?]
[Unnn. You were unable to arrange an appropriate schedule to et Rose Princess, Great Tree Princess and Cherry Blossom Princess, so we’re going to et them after the White God Festival.]
[I see. Well, there’s no need to rush anyway.]
[Yeah.]
I nodded to Alice’s words as she sipped her tea, telling that there was no need to rush. The greetings to the Six Kings’ Executives had mostly been completed, and there were still three of the Seven Princesses left.
However, as Alice said, there was no need to et them before the White God Festival, so it would be fine to calmly et them after the festival ends.
Incidentally, the White God Festival, the first festival of the God Realm, is less than 10 days away, and no matter where I go these days, people are talking about it.
The other day, it seems that there was a lottery announcent for pre-ordered services and other events to be held in the middle-level, which caused quite a stir.
From what I’ve heard, I’m allowed to go as long as I want…… but I don’t really need to go out of my way to pray to Shiro-san, since I was supposed to go to the Sanctuary in the evening.
[……By the way. Isn’t it about ti I throw that tsukkomi at you?]
[At what?]
[……Why are you “wearing a costu”?]
I hadn’t been seeing Alice wear that lately. I an, she’s making her clone wear a stuffed cat costu and she herself hadn’t been wearing it, but she’s currently wearing a costu.
I’m curious how she was drinking tea while in that costu, but more importantly, I was wondering why she was wearing a costu in the first place.
[……Whoa there, please be careful with handling Alice-chan now. It may explode, you know?]
[What will?]
[My sense of sha……]
[You’re still caught up about that……]
Apparently, the reason she was wearing the costu was simply because she was embarrassed. She was still reeling from the previous festival date.
No, even though she did accept the result that I rembered what had happened, that doesn’t change the fact that she’s feeling embarrassed.
This is indeed a very Alice-like reason, and although I felt bad for her, I thought she looked cute. With the situation like this, the thought of teasing her slightly budded within my heart.
[……Beach.]
[!?!? ]
When I silently murmured, Alice clearly flinched, and seeing her like that, I burst into laughter.
[Pfft…… Ahaha.]
[……Kai～ to～ san～!]
[I’m sorry, your reaction is just…… too funny…… Hahaha.]
[This is no laughing matter! This is just too bad for my heart…… Haahhh…… Seriously, Kaito-san, you sotis turn into an S when it cos to , you know that?]
[Hmmm, now that you ntioned it…… That shows how much I let my guard down around you, I guess?]
[Ugghh, that’s not fair. If you say it like that, I won’t be able to complain anymore……]
I am rather aware of what Alice has said. I’ve been friends with Alice since before we beca lovers, so in a way, she’s probably the person I can talk to most honestly.
Also, her reactions are just so cute that I couldn’t help teasing her.
[……Even so, it would be great if we could go, just the two of us. To the beach, I an.]
[……You’re right.]
It’s not like I an to urge her, and what I said was just to break the ice. But hearing my words, Alice extinguished her costu…… and not wearing her mask, she turned towards .
As if she’s feeling embarrassed, her cheeks were blushing red, but the light dwelling in her eyes was strong…… I felt as if she was sowhat filled with determination.
[……Well, ummm…… I wouldn’t make you wait long.]
[……I see.]
[Even though what happened then was out of my expectations, I think that incident raised my experience in love a little bit, and I feel like I can be a little bit more aggressive now…… but the fact that I’m still a sh*tty noob when it cos to love hasn’t changed, so I hope Kaito-san would go easy on !!!]
[No, like I said…… the second half of what you said isn’t sothing you vigorously declare.]
Seeing Alice puffing out her chest and describing herself a small fry when it cos to love, I couldn’t help but chuckle. Seriously, how should I say this…… It’s just like Alice.
[Hey, Alice. I have one request for when that ti cos……]
[What is it? It depends on what you’re going to ask.]
[When we’re going to the beach, I’d like to see Alice in a regular swimsuit.]
[Ughhh…… I- It’s co to this huh……]
It’s not that I’m saying that it won’t do if she’s not wearing a bikini…… but the last ti we all went swimming together, she wore a swimsuit that minimized the exposure of her skin to the utmost limit, so I’d like to see Alice in a cute swimsuit.
Alice looked troubled when she heard my request, but after a while, she shyly muttered.
[……I see, it’s just, that swimsuit…… please buy one.]
[In that case, let’s go shopping together soti.]
[Alright…… Ahh, but I won’t wear anything too revealing, okay!!!?]
[I know that.]
As I said that with a smile, I thought back to Alice’s words earlier. Indeed, that festival date would probably be a pretty good opportunity for both Alice and .
At the very least…… I felt much closer to Alice than I had before.
