Chapter 1655: In the Cottage Illuminated by Moonlight ?

<Author’s Notes>

I don’t have time at all, so today’s chapter is short.

Although it was practically given to me by Alice, I decided to set those seaside cottage accommodation pair tickets aside for the time being.

No, if I were to be too conscious of it, things might become awkward, so I’ll try not to think about it too much and shift my focus back to the Founding Festival.

[……Rather, before I knew it, the sun had gone down quite a bit huh.]

[Hyahh!? Y- Y- You’re right. It won’t be strange for the m- m -moon to be out by this time, isn’t it?]

[No, can’t you calm down? Let’s forget about all that for now and concentrate on the festival.]

[Ah, yes…… Fuuuu…… Alright, I’m good to go!]

It’s obvious even to onlookers that Alice was clearly conscious of it, so I had her compose herself for a moment. As for the Founding Festival, we plan to go around until the fireworks go off, so we still have some time left.

It would be troubling if she stayed like that all this while, so I urged Alice to compose herself, and seemingly understanding this herself, she took a deep breath and her expression visibly relaxed.

[The fireworks would be at 8 pm, right?]

[Yes, that’s about an hour and a half away.]

[Then, we could have a light dinner.]

[Ah, sounds like a good idea. Let’s do that!]

Alice, having regained her composure, or rather, returning to her usual tension upon deciding not to think about what happens later, is very excited when she hears the word “dinner”.

However, I’m slightly undecided on what to eat. I’ve already indulged in street food since this morning, and even our lunch was food we found from a food stall, so I want to try something a little different.

[Street food is great, but I also want to have a proper dinner.]

[Fumu…… I thought Kaito-san would say that, so I reserved us seats at a couple of fancy restaurants, you know?]

[Eh? Are they open today as well?]

[Yes, they’re located in a quieter area away from the bustling stall area. Also, I’ve also made reservations at a restaurant with a view of the fireworks, so it might be nice to watch them there.]

As expected of Alice, she’s quite well-prepared in every aspect of things. And the fact that she’s prepared for my actions, or rather, that she had already guessed that I’d want something other than street food, speaks to her exceptional quick thinking.

If I were to point out an issue, it’s that this quick thinking of hers isn’t being utilized at all in matters of romance…… No, well, considering that she had prepared for a dinner date, I guess you could say she is utilizing it?

[Then, let’s have dinner there…… A restaurant with a view of fireworks huh. That’s pretty much the kind of situation Alice would like, isn’t it?]

[Wha!? N- No, well…… I do like it…… but my mind was more on having a toast in the window seat……]

[That means you arranged window-side seats huh……]

[……Ah, well…… I- I did reserve for that…… Ummm, I- I wanted…… to f- flirt a bit……]

Saying that, Alice, shyly averting her gaze with a blush on her face, looked incredibly cute that I couldn’t help smiling.
