Chapter 443 - Something that Can\'t Be Replaced by Anything Else
[……Isis-san, ummm…… Are you sure it’s alright for me to receive this?]
[……Unnn…… I don’t…… have any use for it.]
The thing that Isis-san was giving me was the miniatureable high-class pet house that I wanted earlier…… a 201 white gold coin pet house.
I wanted to refrain from receiving it because of the amount of money used to buy it but…… Isis-san herself wouldn’t use it, and refusing it is like refusing her kindness towards me.
In that case, it would be better to just accept the gift and thank her in some other way.
[……Thank you. I’ll be sure to thank you for this.]
[……Fufu.]
[……Eh?]
[……That would just make…… us return favors back and forth ……I mean…… this is…… a thank you….. for the brooch after all.]
Isis-san gently smiled and seemed to not really mind it. But well, I also had some pride as a man.
I can’t compete with Isis-san in terms of money, but I’d still like to repay her in some other way.
When I told her this, Isis-san looked as if she was thinking about it. Then, after a little while, she smiled as if she had come up with something, and smoothly put her face to my ear.
[……Then…… can I ask you……for a little something?]
[A little something? Yes, if it’s something I can do.]
[……Thank you…… In that case……. I’d like to…… later.]
[……Eh?]
To be honest, what she whispered in my ear wasn’t what I expected. In fact, I remember another person saying the same thing to me before.
[……E- Errr, Isis-san? T- That is……]
[……Is that no good? ……If Kaito doesn’t want to…… you don’t have…… to force yourself.]
[T- That’s not it! It’s not that I don’t want to…… B- But would that be enough of a thank you?]
[……Unnn…… I would be…… very…… happy.]
[I- I understand. If Isis-san is fine with it……]
When I told her that I agreed to her request, Isis-san happily smiled.
Seeing the expression on her face while thinking about what she had just told me, I could feel my face turning red. In order to escape from the embarrassment, I slightly turned my face away and changed the subject.
[……S- Speaking of which, it’s almost lunchtime, isn’t it?]
[……Ahh…… I made…… bento…… Let’s eat?]
[Eh? You made bento today again? Thank you!!!]
[……If Kaito…… is happy about it…… I’m also…… happy.]
I’m extremely moved by Isis-san making lunch for me again today.
[Well then, let’s go somewhere with a nice view……]
[……It’s alright……I’ve properly…… planned for that.]
[Unnn? Do you know a place like that?]
[……Unnn?]
The Six Kings Festival changed drastically from day to day, and the city itself was so large that it was difficult to find a good spot.
However, just as Lillywood-san showed me a good place to hang out yesterday, it seems like Isis-san, the organizer of today’s event, seemed to have a good grasp of places with good scenery too.
When Isis-san waved her hand lightly, flowers made of ice bloomed around her, and as soon as they shattered, the scenery around me changed.
[……Arehh? Doesn’t this place look familiar?]
The place that we had teleported to was located high above the city where the festival was happening. It certainly had good scenery…… but it seemed like we were in a considerably high place.
From the view, it was as if we were on top of a mountain, and with the rocky color of the ground under my feet…… Arehh? Could this place be……
[……Magnawell…… We are…… going to eat…… so lend me…… this place.]
“Ahh, I don’t mind.”
As I thought, this place really was on top of Magnawell-san!? He’s as outrageously sized as always, and I couldn’t tell where we were at all from looking around.
T- The view up here would certainly be very nice. After all, it’s like eating at the top of a 5000-meter high mountain. I can even clearly see the tree and ice art that was created during the opening ceremony.
However, unnn….. Is it really okay to eat on top of Magnawell-san’s head? W- Well, Magnawell-san says it’s fine, so I guess it’s not a problem huh?
In front of the dumbfounded me, Isis-san laid out a sheet she had taken out of nowhere and spread out the bento she had prepared for me.
[……Kaito…… Let’s eat?]
[Ah, yes. ……Uwaahhh…… It looks even more delicious today.]
[……I worked hard.]
Instead of the easy-to-carry bento I had gotten yesterday, today’s lunch was prepared in stacks of boxes filled with lots of side dishes. Fried chicken, egg rolls, potato salad, and even my favorite mini burger steaks…… They looked really delicious.
It’s just that…… There’s only “one fork”.
I’m not an idiot. I knew from past experience what this situation meant. And I also knew that there was no escape for me……
[……Kaito…… What would you like…… to eat first?]
[W- Well then, I’ll have an egg roll……]
[……Unnn…… Here…… Ahhn~]
[……Ahhn~]
I ate the egg roll that was held to my mouth. The sweetly seasoned egg spread its fluffiness in my mouth, and the taste was more than enough for me to know that it tasted great.
“It seems like you’re quite affectionate with each other huh, that’s good.”
[……Unnn…… I love…… Kaito.]
[……Thank you. I also, errr…… love you.]
[……I’m happy…… Really…… really…… happy.]
Dear Mom, Dad————– It’s kind of embarrassing to say this but…… In a place with beautiful scenery, I am now having lunch with my beloved lover. I think that this time of happiness————– is something that can’t be replaced by anything else.
