Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita

Chapter 60

What should I do? How should I refuse?

Its not really bad if Tuvalu were to find outno, it shouldnt be a problem even if he did find out.Each person has their own preferences, even people who appear agreeable on the outside still have their own thoughts on the inside.

But the other party is Tuvalu, there is a possibility of being guided to the death flag even if it doesnt involve the heroine, rather imagining it is far too easy.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish for villainess capture target guide. Please give me a death flag avoidance manual!

Maria

Rather why do I even have to be scared of coming up with a refusal?

Would it be bad if I actually refused? It should be alright if Im just busy or have a reasonable reason. Although I do feel a bit guilty towards Catalia-sama, to begin with she isnt even a member of the Student Council.

Maria

Thats right, lets think about it. My thoughts became disordered after encountering Tuvalu, but if I think logically, this is an opportunity. Thomas-sama seems to be troubled by the lack of manpower, but Julius-sama doesnt expect me to enter so the hurdle is low.

Lets go at this calmly. I am too busy to figure out what I want to do. So I should instead try not to think as much. Especially since Im originally not suitable for thinking.

Maria!

Yes!?

Any longer and you wouldve ran into it

My name resounded through my ears and a hand grabbed onto my arm preventing me from walking any further.

I finally realized that I was one step away from running into the fountain so I was relieved. If I kept walking like this, I wouldve hit my knees against the edge made of stone, and worse case fallen straight into the fountain.

Ah, thanks

Be careful, if you were to get hurt here we wouldnt be able to return to the dormitories right away

Yes, Im sorry

We are currently in Oztown a town located on the premises of the school. From everyday consumables to food, it is a versatile castle city with many miscellaneous goods and accessories.

It seems the facilities are all so perfect to prevent any inconveniencesI dont think its good to be too spoiled. Although I wouldnt voice any complaints due to the social status of the ongoing students. If they were to wonder around and end up being kidnapped it could become an international problem.

And due to the numerous stores there are also many kinds of assortments which is helpful, so I should actually be grateful not complain.

So, have you decided on what to buy?

Not at all, I have thought about it, but I dont really know what a guy would like

I supposeGreas-sensei is also an adult, so there is also an age difference aside from gender

We areor rather I am here today for the purpose of finding a gift for Greas-sensei in thanks for the barrette I received as an entrance celebration.

Although it has already been about a month, I didnt have time to go shopping since I was busy adjusting to the school and dormitories.

In the end after quite a whiletoday was a break day so there were no classes or clubs so I was able to get Keito involved, which should be helpful.

Someone similarhow about Kirua-sama?

Father?

Someone close to Maria who is also an adult male

Wellthat is true

That part is similar, but its a different story when it comes to using him as an equal reference. Particularly with presents.

Hes my father and he dotes on me very much. If its father he would be happy even if I gave him weed from the side of the road.

Your fatheris also quite unique isnt he?

That is quite true

As expected, he is familiar about both me and father.

Ah, then what about Oresseine-san? He is practically like family and he is also like Kirua-sama

Oresseine-san is

Older, an adult, a male. All three match up, and hes sweet towards me but not as much as father. Hes essentially like a family member, calling him fathers secretary is also a good distance to place him at.

Above all Oresseine-san refers to me as Lords daughter or Miss Tempest and such. I think he is the closest person I know that would be similar to Greas-sensei.

Isnt he perfect then? Now if I can just remember any presents I gave to Oresseine-san

Its no good

Eh?

I have never given Oresseine-san any gifts before

My birthday was celebrated every time. Since I can buy anything at my own discretion, I have tried preparing a gift as sign of appreciation and gratitude.

At that time I was also agonizing over what to get like I am now, so I ended up asking the person himself What would you like? Now that I think about it hes unlikely to give a serious answer to a child.

So at that time, he responded, Ojo-sama being in good health is the best present for me.

Each and every year, my health and happiness are given as gifts and eventually I entered the academy without ever giving an actual gift.

Father may have given him something butthey would never do it in front of me

Wellthat makes sense, his position is essentially a servant of Maria so he cant disregard that, normally a Lord of a House would never celebrate a servants birthday

Is that right?

Thats what Ive heard at least

Did he perhaps hear that when he was attending commoner elementary school? Or did he perhaps ask other nobles after coming to this school?

It doesnt really matter but..its true, I dont know any other House that would celebrate a servants birthday.

Maria?

As expected, is it better to just stop?

Huh? Whats with you all of a sudden?

I dont really know what he wantsand if I chose something bad wouldnt it just become a bother?

It would be the same as being meddlesome or causing an inconvenience, theres nothing more troublesome than forcing an unwanted gift onto somebody. Some people just dont think about others, but there is also such a thing like ego on the sending side.

Appreciating the thought but having no need for the gift, I would be rather troubled. Its possible to throw it away but then there is the feeling of guilt.

In that case it would be better to stop and just write a thank you letter or something.

Since its up to Maria to decide I think you should do whatever you want..but was Maria happy when you received your present?

Yesyes, of course

Keito pointed to the barrette, which was also shining brightly from my hair today as well. I use it almost every day after receiving it since its my favorite.

Greas-sensei mightve also felt the same as you when he was picking out a present. Aside from that hes likely also not familiar with what girls like

That is

I wonder about that..that person was a playboy before after all. He acts like a nice older brother towards me and Keito, but I cannot deny the possibility that the game settings may still influence his behavior.

Well, even if his flirtatious settings still persisted a child who just entered middle school should be out of his range so its likely as Keito says.

But Greas-sensei did hand-pick something out for you, and because you were happy about that you wanted to do the same for him. I dont think there is really anything to worry about

As usual, youre at your own pace no matter the location. I dont think its good to be too spoiled, but our relationship feels very comfortable.

Besides with Keito the atmosphere is always easygoing.

Somehow its haphazard, bold, I dont know whether to praise or belittle itits mostly the latter.

But from the experiences of the past five rounds, I can be brave but I can also be scared, I dont want to experience such terror ever again so I want to act as carefully as possible. Whether my plan is reflected in the results is another story.

Like always, I feel as if Keitos existence also makes me feel daringly bold and haphazard.

There is no need to be anxious, there is no need for vigilance, its comfortable anywhere. Pushing my hesitating back forward.

It feels as if Keito is looking at the original me. The one from before experiencing the past five rounds, the one who wasnt on auto-mode.

As expected, being with Keito is nice

Whats with you suddenly, did you trip and hit your head?

Your words are strange and also rude

I reconfirmed my gratitude towards Keito unexpectedlyalthough I will never tell the person himself, he would make fun of me. Or maybe he would just look at me with a weird expression like he just saw a ghost or something.

Well then, lets charge ahead into all the shops that look nice one after another! Get ready!

Its too dangerous to do that for just choosing a present. Look properly in front of you

Complaining while still following my lead, he truly is a great childhood friend.

After visiting several stores, in the end I finally settled on a fountain pen. Its practical, it doesnt take up space, and theres always a use for it. So there would be no trouble in receiving it.

More than anything, the moment I saw it I thought that it suited Greas-sensei.

A moon-white color gradient and a unique marble-like pattern, its shiny, glossy, and smooth appearance is very beautiful. I feel that the golden color of the clip and pen tip resembles Greas-senseis eyes.

I had the message card written at the store, and as soon as I returned to the dormitories I asked a butler to deliver it the staffs dormitories.
