Chapter 443: Something that Cant Be Replaced by Anything Else (1/2)

After enjoying the auction to some extent, Isis-san and I decided to pick up our winning bids and moved to another location.

The auction itself seemed to continue until the end of the third day, so we may want to come back later and check it out again.

[……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.]
