Chapter 571: I Think That Part of Her was Cute (1/2)

Following the target shooting, Shiro-san and I came to that place Lillywood-san and I went around together…… the gigantic labyrinth made of flowers. That attraction seemed to be very popular and unlike the target practice, it was mentioned in the guidebook.

[We’ve arrived huh.]

[We have arrived. Well then, Kaito-san.]

[Yes?]

[“Please start getting lost”.]

[……Eh?]

Whoa there, Shiro-san suddenly started saying something strange. Well, it’s not like I thought that I’d be able to peacefully go around with Shiro-san…… but asking me to get lost around this place again…… Hmmm, as expected of Shiro-san. Her way of thinking is unlike normal people.

[You compliment me.]

[No, I wasn’t complimenting you.]

[I see…… Well then, please start getting lost.]

[Errr, incidentally, can I ask the reason why?]

[Kaito-san, who challenged this labyrinth in the middle of the Six Kings Festival, got lost in this place quite a bit.]

[Y- Yes, that did happen.]

[That’s why I think it would be “unfair” if you don’t get lost while walking around with me.]

[I se…… Unnn?]

That is…… unfair? Oh no, I’m getting confused too. I mean, even if she tells me that, I think it would be difficult for me to get lost in this labyrinth on purpose.

If this flower labyrinth was the same one I had experienced before, I would be able to move through it rather quickly and finish it, even if I couldn’t completely remember the whole labyrinth.

[It’s okay if Kaito-san just challenges it like normal. I believe that Kaito-san will be able to get lost.]

[That’s an unpleasant trust you have there…… No, no, there’s no way I would get lost that many times, you know?]

[……………….]

[Gununu……]

Even though she should have been expressionless, her eyes looked as if she was sure I would definitely get lost…… D*mn it, watch me closely, okay!? Since you see it like that, I’ll show you how I can clear this labyrinth quickly.

Challenging the Flower Labyrinth, filled with determination…… half an hour has passed. Now, in front of me was a wall of flowers, blocking my view…… In short, I’m at a dead end.

[……Shiro-san, what do you think?]

[I think it’s better if you turn on the “7th corner earlier”.]

[……Yes.]

What is this feeling of defeat…… This is strange, looking at the entrance, I saw that this place had the same flower composition as when I came with Lillywood-san, so I thought the directions would be the same……

Somehow, even though I was going in what I thought was the correct order from the middle of the labyrinth onwards, I kept on running into dead ends.

Even though I should have known the directions by the type of flowers after Lillywood-san taught me about it……

[……Shiro-san, there’s something I’d like to ask you.]

[What is it?]

[……”Did you switch the type of flower at the forks in the road”?]

[……Now then, let’s go back.]

[………………..]

You really are the culprit!? Do you really want me to get lost that much!?

[Yes.]

[……You didn’t even hesitate with your response……]
