Chapter 1716: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ?
Even though I have been taught about the connection between Marine-san and Eingana-san, just as Life-san had said, nothing happened in the concert.
The next band went up on the stage and the live performance resumed, which I watched again with Shiro-san.
[This is my first time watching a live performance, but it’s really powerful and fun.]
[Fumu, do you like live performances, Kaito-san?]
[H- Hmmm, I wonder? I like music in general, but if you ask me if I especially like music…… I suppose it’s because of the atmosphere of the festival.]
I like music, so I bought CDs…… but not enough that it made me really want to watch live performances, so I don’t think I especially like them. However, I’m now having a lot of fun.
It’s my first time at a live concert, but I think it’s also because of the atmosphere of the festival…… and the fact that I’m here with my lover, Shiro-san, nearby and we can enjoy it together.
I can somewhat feel that Shiro-san is enjoying the festival, and it’s a happy thing to be able to share the fun with someone you like.
In fact, I feel like I’m enjoying myself a lot more now than I did when we went on a date in the Human Realm before. No, of course, there’s the fact that we weren’t lovers back then and we are lovers now, but even excluding that, the big change that has come to Shiro-san is substantial.
Shiro-san has grown mentally and has become much more interested in various things than before, and as a result, this has led to the two of us being able to enjoy various things together.
Of course, there are many things that she doesn’t seem to be interested in, like the relationship between Marine-san and Eingana-san…… but I suppose that is something that depends on a person’s preference, with each person having topics they are interested in and topics they’re not.
In any case, how should I say this…… It truly feels like I’m “enjoying time together” with Shiro-san on our recent dates, making me really feel happy and blessed.
Shiro-san herself studied a lot for our dates, and while there are occasional moments of absentmindedness, where her natural airheadedness was showing up again, I really appreciate Shiro-san’s straightforwardness.
Well, of course, it’s hard to say that to her because it’s embarrassing……
[……Hou.]
[……Ah.]
That had completely slipped out of my mind. Even though this should have been something I knew already, I forgot that Shiro-san could read minds and found myself lost in thought. Inner thoughts are normally not meant to be heard by others, and I hadn’t really paid much attention to Shiro-san reading my mind except when we were together, so I had been careless.
I’m aware that Shiro-san can read minds, and content-wise, there’s absolutely no issue with my thoughts being read…… It’s just that, knowing that Shiro-san is aware that I had thoughts that sounded like I’m falling in love with her again, and then thinking about it while she’s right beside me, it feels incredibly embarrassing.
[Hohou…… Kaito-san was thinking like that huh.]
[Ah, no…… W- Well, it’s not like you’re wrong but…… umm, I was just a bit distracted……]
She looks happy. She looks absurdly happy. The smile on Shiro-san’s lips was unusually easy to tell, and I could feel the excitement coming through so strongly.
[U- Umm, Shiro-san. Let’s calm down, okay? For the time being, let’s go watch the live performance……]
[There’s no problem. The world’s time has been completely stopped now, so we can take it easy in talking about this, you know?]
[Wait, isn’t that too much of a foul play?]
[I wonder? Now, Kaito-san. You can verbally express what you had just been thinking earlier. Tell me how much you want to hug me, how much you want to kiss me, how much you want to make out with me. Come on, please say it.]
With a wide smile on her face, Shiro-san opened her arms wide, making a face that seemed to say “Come on, hug me”, but even if she had stopped time, can’t she understand that hugging her in the presence of this many people is embarrassing!?
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Oi, idiot, stop that…… If you end it there, it’s like you’re declaring that they’re going to spend the entire time flirting with each other in the …… Stop that……]
