Chapter 513: I Want to Grow to Become Someone Cool (2/2)

Alice has the invitations ready before Ozma-san can even speak the name of the person he's talking about. Her information-gathering ability is as monstrous as always…… Seriously, as expected of her.

[If you want to thank me, you should go thank Kaito-san instead. To be honest, if you hadn't requested that through Kaito-san, I would have refused because it would be troublesome.]

[I see…… Miyama-kun, I'm really grateful. Thanks.]

[N- No.]

[I know it wouldn't be enough to thank you, but won't you have this?]

[……This is?]

After thanking me with a kind expression on his face, Ozma-san took out a slightly large paper bag from nowhere and held it out to me.

Receiving the paper bag, I tilted my head and looked at Ozma-san who was lighting the cigarette held in his mouth.

[……That's the coffee Uncle likes. You just add hot water to it and it's ready to drink. I've prepared a little extra for you, so you can have it with your friends.]

[Thank you! I'm sorry that you had to go out of your way though.]

[No, no, it was Uncle who suddenly made the request. Really, thank you…… If you're okay with it, let's go out for a drink sometime, Miyama-kun. Of course, it would be Uncle's treat.]

[Ahh, yes! I'll take you up on your offer then.]

Hmmm, I think that Ozma-san, who can say thank you without hesitation, is a really cool adult. Maybe it's because he seems like a dependable adult, but even the way he invites people looks so cool.

Perhaps, the reason why he didn't take out the coffee first was that he didn't want it to be something like an exchange condition?

[Later then, Miyama-kun. I'm sure you have lots of things to deal with, but enjoy the rest of the Six Kings Festival, okay?]

[Yes!]

[Unnn, see you later.]

With a gentle smile on her face, Ozma-san lightly patted my head before waving one hand as he left. The way he left looked so very picturesque, and even the way his trench coat fluttered in the wind looked super cool.

……Should I buy a trench coat for myself?

[……No, I don't think a trench coat would look very good on you, Kaito-san.]

[……I also feel like that was the case.]

Dear Mom, Dad————– I really admire Ozma-san, not simply because of his good looks, but because of his cool words and gestures. To be honest, I don't see myself becoming like him at all, but if it were possible, someday, just like him————— I want to grow to become someone cool.

Baby Castella-senpai : [Ozma huh…… He's a tough one to fight against. However, I won't give up my position as the number one man who looks good in a trench coat.]

Serious-senpai : [……No, you're a freaking castella, aren't you…… Putting aside the trench coat, you don't even have a gender, you know!?]
