Chapter 546: Lets Give Her Plenty of Scolding (2/2)

[……You're changing the subject huh. Well, fine…… Hope for the future is what gives us the energy to live each day. So, I thought of showing everyone a glimpse of the future. Of course, I made sure not to show just about everything.]

[You've thought about this a lot huh…… By the way, what's Kuro's festival tomorrow going to be like?]

[It's basically just an orthodox festival. What's different is how there're some magic items being sold, then there are the big fairs and a fireworks display.]

[Heehhh…… That's a little surprising. I thought it was going to be another outrageous festival……]

Putting aside Alice, who used the word ”fair” as if it's a matter of course, Kuro's festival apparently isn't as outrageous as I thought.

I was so sure that it would be something like a baby castella festival, a festival that was so far ahead of its time that no one was following it……

[Hmmm. Well, in the first place, the Six Kings Festival was being held because Kuro-san wanted to have a ”festival date with Kaito-san”, so I guess she was just sticking to her original intention.]

[……Wait right there, I kind of feel like I have found out an outrageous new information! Eh? That's seriously the reason why the Six Kings Festival is being held!?]

[Y- Yes……. Well, in the first place, Kuro-san was the originator of this festival, right? It's not like it would have that great of a reason behind it.]

[……I- Indeed.]

Despite her position, Kuro is someone who hangs out most of the time with commoners, and she often comes up with outrageous things on a whim. In a sense, this time was another example of one of such whims.

M- Mhmm, I wonder what this ticklish feeling…… I'm feeling happy, but I'm also feeling astounded……

[……Incidentally, she'll be wearing a yukata.]

[Ehh? W- Why?]

[Well, after whispering some words to her ear——– Ouch!?]

[……Speaking of which, you've been whispering stupid things to Kuro and Isis-san, haven't you? I forgot about it until just now. I've been thinking about having some thorough discussion with you regarding this matter.]

[……A- Arehh? Did I just dig my grave? ……K- Kaito-san, you look scary, you know…… N- No way, I'm just being a little mischievous, don't you think? It's just a prank from your cute, lovable girlfriend. Let's have a forgiving heart with a smile on——— Ah, wait!? Could you please put those hands that looked like you're going to pinch my cheeks away!? Stop focusing on my che———– Ginyaaaaahhh!? M- My ears!?]

Grabbing Alice, who was making as usual, by her ears, I forcibly brought her to a secluded place. Well, I've got a lot of things I'd like to say to her, so let's scold her. Yep, let's do that.

Dear Mom, Dad————- Not only towards Kuro, Alice had been particularly putting too many strange things into Isis-san's head. For the sake of the pure Isis-san who will believe just about everything you told her and act upon it, and also, for my sake————- Let's give her plenty of scolding.

Serious-senpai : [It's relieving to see Alice acting as usual, isn't it…… It's still making me lament about where the seriousness has gone but…… what do you think?]

? ? ? : [I think it's fine to make Alice-chan the main heroine!]

Serious-senpai : [We're not talking about something like that!]
