Chapter 123 Still Dont Know at All (1/2)

With the business meeting between Kuro and Alice over, I was thinking of leaving because I didn’t want to stay for too long, but Alice spoke to me right at that moment.

[……Kaito-kun, “the thing you asked before” is ready.]

[Already!? You really work fast huh……]

[Eh? What is?]

What Alice told me about was the job I asked her to do a while ago…… I had some troublesome conditions placed on it, so I thought it would take her quite some time, but it seems she already finished it.

Naturally interested in the conversation that only the two of us could understand what we’re talking about, Kuro approached me while tilting her head.

[Kuro, stay there for a moment, okay!?]

[Ehh? Ah, unnn.]

[……So, Alice. Where’s the stuff?]

[It’s here. I’m sure that it met all the conditions Kaito-san gave me.]

Stopping Kuro, who was approaching, I received a small box from Alice and checked the contents.

……All I can is that it’s to be as expected of her. It’s a magnificent piece of work…… The fact that she cleared my request I made means that I was able to get rid of that uncertainty.

[……Thanks. So, how much is this?]

[I really had a hard time getting the materials for that as well. So, how about 10000R?]

[Alright.]

Considering what the item is, you could say that it’s quite pricey, but because of all the demands I presented, I think it’s reasonable.

Thinking so, I handed a gold coin to Alice without feeling particularly troubled.

After thanking Alice once again, I left the shop with Kuro.

[Muuuuuu……]

[……Why are your cheeks puffed up?]

[……I was being excluded…… by Kaito-kun earlier……]

[Don’t sulk anymore……]

It seems that she doesn’t like the fact that I’ve been sneaking around and excluding her in the conversation, so she adorably puffed up her cheeks and turned away.

However, it doesn’t seem that Kuro is really angry, as after a while, she immediately lets out a sigh and her cheeks turned back to normal.

[……Well, if Kaito-kun won’t tell me, I won’t ask about it but……]

[Eh, No, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that……]

[Unnn?]

Seeing Kuro tilting her head at my words, I took out the box I had bought from Alice, even when I’m aware that I’m quite nervous right now…… and held it out to Kuro.

[……Errr, ummm, Kuro…… for all everything you’ve done for me…… thanks.]

[Eh? Ehhhh? K- Kaito-kun?]

[I don’t know if I should say that this is as thanks for that or anything like that but…… I’d appreciate it if you could take it.]

[……Th- Thank you…… Errr, can I open it now?]

[Yeah.]

Yes, what I asked Alice to make…… was a gift to Kuro.

I wanted to do something to thank Kuro for all the help she’s given me since I came to this world, so after much thought, I decided to give her this.

However, the words Kuro had said before were bothering me, and I knew I couldn’t just give it to her…… so I asked Alice to make some changes.

Kuro slowly opened the box she received from me, and took out the item inside with a surprised look on her face.

[Could this be……]

[Unnn. When we…… Errr, went on our d- date, it’s that necklace that Kuro liked. I asked Alice to make it out of a really stretchy material…… so I don’t think it will be torn off even if you turn into your magical beast form.

[……Kaito……-kun.]

The necklace that Kuro took out of the box is designed with silver stars lined up in a row, and it’s the one that Kuro asked me if it would look good on her on our previous date.

At that time, Kuro didn’t seem to buy it because it would be torn off when she was in her magical beast mode…… but I had actually bought it later in secret.

And when I asked Alice if she could make it so that it wouldn’t break even if the wearer took on a larger form, she said it would be fine if she used a special material, so I asked her to get it and remake it for me.

Alice’s craftsmanship really is quite superb, and at a glance, it may look like a normal necklace, no, it’s more delicate and beautiful because of the detailed workmanship, but it’s made to fit the wearer of its excellent elasticity.

Kuro looked at the necklace she received from me for a while, squeezed it in front of her chest, then looked at me with eyes that were slightly trembling and her cheeks slightly dyed in red.

[……Kaito-kun…… I……]
