Chapter 602: I Feel Unbearably Happy (1/2)

The birthday party, which had been so large, noisy and fun that I couldn’t believe that it was hastily made, was over. I returned to my room, which I was completely used to living in.

How should I say this…… I feel a little sad after it’s over because it was kind of fun.

However, unnn……

[……I guess this doesn’t feel that bad.]

[Unnn? What is it?]

[Well, I just think that if I feel sad afterwards, it means that I had lots of fun…… It kind of makes me happy.]

[I see…… I’m glad you had fun, Kaito-kun.]

I was sitting on the sofa and Kuro appeared next to me as I came back into my room, a soft smile on her face.

[……Kuro, thanks for everything.]

[Your welcome, I suppose?]

[I feel very happy. For so many people to celebrate with me…… Really, I’m lucky to have such kind people around me.]

These words naturally leaked out of my mouth. I felt as if my heart was overflowing with emotion and joy.

Thereupon, Kuro looked at me with a smile, before she spoke.

[……I think it’s a bit different though.]

[Different? How so?]

[I think that such feelings don’t just go one-way though. If you feel that you’re happy and everyone is kind to you…… I’m sure it’s because Kaito-kun brings happiness to everyone else as well.]

[……Is that really how it is?]

[We’re not celebrating your birthday because you’re kind. Everyone…… Of course, that includes me, celebrated because we love you, Kaito-kun. Kaito-kun has been kind to everyone, brought warmth to everyone, and created lots of happiness…… and those feelings go around, returning back to Kaito-kun.]

[I see……. Thanks.]

The words she gently said. Those warm words seem to affirm that “the love you’re surrounded in is something that I have grasped by myself”.

However, let’s see…… if it’s as Kuro said, and I’m making everyone happy…… If I can’t make everyone feel the warmth I’m feeling right now…… that makes me happy.

[……Even so, it was something that was sudden, so I guess it must have been troublesome to prepare it, right?]

[Hmmm, we felt frantic, but we didn’t feel that it was troublesome. So, don’t worry about it. I mean, rather than the preparations, I feel that the final battle against Earth God was the most tiring. She’s really strong, so she’s quite the nuisance……]

It is indeed true that Kuro’s stamina is literally bottomless, unlike mine. However, it’s troublesome since time is limited…… No, wait. There are people who can literally manipulate time huh……

Also, it really would be great if Eden-san knows how to restrain herself.

[……I’d like to somehow express my thanks though.]

[You don’t really have to worry about it though…… Ahh, then, can I ask you one favor?]

[Unnn? Ahh, if it’s something I can do.]

Looking as if she had thought of something, Kuro looked as if she thought of something fun, bringing her face close and whispering to my ears.

[……Eh? W- Why again…… Well, it’s alright with me but……]

[This is something I’ve actually wanted to do for a while now.]

Kuro’s request wasn’t unreasonable at all, and it was something that could be done right now. Her request was a little unusual though, so I was a little confused, but I still “scooted towards the edge of the sofa”.

Thereupon, Kuro put her head on my thigh with a happy smile on her face…… Yes, Kuro’s request is to “give her a lap pillow”.

[Ahaha, this kind of feels refreshing.]
