Chapter 549: I Felt Happy More Than Anything (2/2)

Anyway, the only person who can stop her is Kuro, so I sincerely hope she will do her best from stopping her.

After blocking Eden-san's intrusion, Kuro smoothly leaned her head on my shoulder.

[Unnn. Of course, I won't let her interrupt our private time together.]

[Ahh, unnn……]

[Hey, Kaito-kun. Do you want some alcohol?]

[Errr…… Then, I'll have some.]

I wonder why? I'm becoming strangely conscious of her. Come to think of it, this is the third time I've taken a bath with Kuro…… but it's the first time we've been alone together.

Isis-san was there the first time, and everyone else was there on the first day of the Six Kings Festival. B- Becoming aware of it, I feel strangely embarrassed.

I felt Kuro's soft cheek against my shoulder. Too embarrassed to turn towards her, I just watched the scenery, feeling my heart pounding fast.

Thereupon, something that looked like hot sake floating on a tray appeared in front of us. Picking up the tokkuri flask, she poured some sake into my cup.

[……Here you go.]

[T- Thanks.]

After thanking Kuro, I took a sip of the sake. The dry sake slid down my throat with its numbing, intense flavor, leaving a pleasant aftertaste in my mouth.

Glancing to the side a bit, my eyes met with Kuro's, who was one-handedly pouring herself a drink, still leaning her head on my shoulder. Noticing my glance, Kuro gives me a soft smile.

How should I say this…… Kuro really has a mysterious charm around her. She has a bright, big smile and a childlike expression that makes me smile whenever I'm with her.

On the other hand though, there are times when she has a mature expression on her face, as if she can see through, accept and embrace everything about me.

I guess you could say that she's the perfect blend of childishness and maturity? She had a really great charm, and when she smiled at me just now, I felt like my face got really hot. I guess it's no wonder Kuro had many followers all over the world.

The fact that a charming woman like her gives me her unsparing love is really……

[……Hey, Kaito-kun?]

[Unnn?]

[……This is happiness, isn't it?]

[Yeah……]

At the same time, the both of us felt happiness. I guess this is what they call a heart-to-heart connection.

Right now, unnn…… I'll stop thinking about things like that and just enjoy this happiness.

Dear Mom, Dad————- Whether I'm soothed by her childlike cuteness or charmed by her mature beauty, being with Kuro makes me really happy. And also, how should I say this? Seeing that Kuro felt the same happiness as I did————– makes me feel happy more than anything.

Sugar Phase starts!

Serious-senpai : [Why!? You could have done a few more of that last chapter! Just 5 more chapters…… No, at least 3 chapters more, and we could have pushed through the serious mood!!! Why are you stopping there!? Why!!!?]

? ? ? : [Ahh, incidentally, Eden-san was having a conversation with Alice-chan at this time. As expected of a god of a world. I thought she was just messing with the law of cause and effect a little bit, but this is……]

Serious-senpai : [I didn't want to know about that! Eh? What? Even though they were talking about something so serious, she was trying to break into someone's bathroom!? Serious, what the heck are you doing!!!?]
