Chapter 451: Intermission: Six Kings Festival ~~ The Agony of a Certain Demon ~~ (2/2)

With an expression that looked as if her soul was deprived from her body, Elise absentmindedly looked towards the next person that will draw cards.

[……It's Kaito's…… turn.]

(……I guess this is where I die huh. Even though there were still things I wanted to do, food I wanted to eat…… I know that I got a bit greedy. I was hoping to make a connection with a famous person…… However, for it to become like this……)

[Ah, yes…… Errr, a heart huh. The next one is…… arehh? A heart again. The third one is also a heart? ……The fourth one too? That's quite unusual, isn't it? It was all hearts.]

[Seriously!?]

[Hyeh!? Ah, y- yes.]

Elise, who had absentmindedly given up on her life, instantly came back to her senses when she saw the cards that Kaito had drawn, and suddenly brought her face closer.

Astonished at her sudden change in expression, Kaito nodded…… to which, Elise's shoulders slightly trembled and clenching her fist, she exclaimed.

[It's the best! It's the best combination! The compatibility between you two couldn't be more perfect! You're so compatible with each other, as if the red strings of fate were bundled up with each other!!!]

[R- Really?]

[Yes, you two are the best couple ever!!!]

[……Best couple…… with Kaito…… I'm so happy.]

Thanks to the best result in the form of a great comeback, Isis-san happily smiled from the bottom of her heart and affectionately grasped Kaito's hand.

Seeing such an Isis, Kaito looked a bit embarrassed, but he squeezed her hand back, and the sweet atmosphere unique to lovers began to form around them.

[……Thank you…… Here…… the fee.]

[Ah, yes…… wait, Death King-sama!? This is…… a white gold coin!?]

[……You can…… keep the change.]

[Eh? N- No, errr…… Yes.]

After handing the white gold coin to Elise with a really happy smile on her lips, Kaito and Isis harmoniously left her shop.

After absentmindedly seeing her off, Elise let out a big…… a really big sigh.

[Haaaahhh~~ ……T- Thank goodness. I didn't get killed……]

Even if the results were bad, she wouldn't have been killed. It was just a misunderstanding on her part.

However, there was something that the relieved Elise didn't know yet. That after hearing about Isis' compatibility with Kaito, the Underworld King and the Phantasmal King would also come to her shop together with Kaito……

~~ Extra: The Source of All Rumors ~~

”Underworld King-sama had lost against him”

Underworld King: [”The one who falls in love loses”, you say? Then, I guess I've completely lost to Kaito-kun!]

”He took out over 100 Black Bears in an instant”

Death King: [……I want Kaito…… to have an even…… more active role…… in this book……]

Bookseller: [By Death King-sama's will!!!]

”He overpowered War King-sama's subordinates”

A certain kemonomimi: [Listen here, when Master gets serious, there won't be a speck of dust left of you! You better get this in your skulls that your intrusion in his life was the thing that saved yours!]

Twin maids: [ [ Yes! Chief Retainer!!! ] ]

”He won against War King-sama in a physical battle”

Neighborhood Gorilla: [I lost to Kaito. That guy really is awesome!!!]

”He beat Phantasmal King-sama into submission and made her his subordinate”

Pervert Extraordinaire: [……How envious. I want Kaito-sama to hit me too.]

Idiot: [No, it's not like I wanted to be beaten by Kaito-san……]

Pervert Extraordinaire: [But it feels good, doesn't it?]

Idiot: [Of course, it fe…… What the heck are you trying to make me say!?]
