Chapter 693: Lets Build a House ⑥ (1/2)

Alice said she had just built a house in one night. I was surprised at first, but after calming down for a bit…… Well, I was able to convince myself that Alice could do it since she's Alice.

She had completed it before I could even give her any of my requests, but well, I'm sure it will be fine.

[……Well then, I'd like to see it right away.]

[Yes, yes, then let's move. This way.]

[We're not going to teleport or anything like that?]

[No, your house is just nearby.]

I followed Alice as she walked out of the room. Putting aside when I just learned that the house was built overnight, the reason why I am so calm now…… was only because of my trust in Alice.

If this had been a situation where Shiro-san or Eden-san was the one who made it, my heart may have been filled with anxiety. But if it's Alice…… I can rest assured.

Alice really likes playing pranks, and she's one of those people which the word ”smart idiot” fits to a tee…… but her balance between these aspects is really exquisite.

The house that she will introduce to me will probably be beyond my imagination, which would make me surprised…… but a house that would make me think that, for whatever reason, this is the right house for me.

I'm not that big of an idiot. I understand that there's no way that I'm going to get the normal detached house that I envision.

Many of my lovers and acquaintances are Kings and Gods, and since there's a high chance that they would come to visit, my house would have to be of a certain class.

I think Alice has probably prepared a house that would be on the edge of that line. A house that I can compromise on, but also luxurious enough for Kuro and the others' status.

[……What is this? I'm kinda feeling Kaito-san's passionate trust in me. I'm a little embarrassed, and a little glad that I didn't adopt that joke of an idea that I had before.]

[I trust Alice after all. Well, you do fool around often…… but I can rest assured if it's you.]

[……L- Let's stop with that. Alice-chan isn't really a fan of straightforward praises. I'm telling you this now, but if Kaito-san looks at me with such a cool look on your face, I'd quickly turn into some easy-to-please heroine!]

[……Was that something you should be proudly bragging about?]

As I walked down the corridor, I smiled at Alice, who walked a little faster, perhaps because she's embarrassed…… but I suddenly noticed something strange.

[Hey, Alice?]

[What is it?]

[……We're heading to my house, right?]

[Yes, we are.]

[……”The front gate is in the opposite way”, you know?]

[That, it is.]

[Unnn?]

Hearing that we're actually heading to my house even though we're walking in the opposite direction of the front gate, I tilted my head as I followed Alice.

Then, as I was about to push that question even further, I suddenly saw something strange out of the corner of my eyes.

[……Eh? Arehh?]

There was something that looked like a corridor ahead of us. However, that's strange. I've lived in Lilia-san's mansion for a year already, and I don't think I've ever seen that here before.

As I was feeling confused as to what was going on, Alice stopped in front of the corridor and turned towards me.

[We've arrived! At the other side of this passageway…… To be exact, the corridor itself and the other side of this corridor is Kaito-san's house.]

[……U- Unnn?]

[Oya? I see that you're confused. Well, it certainly might be hard to tell when we're on this side…… Then, how about taking a look from the outside!?]

With a quick snap of Alice's finger, the nearby window opened and our bodies began levitating. Then, my body was led straight out the window and rose to a position, where we could see the whole thing.

The sight that came into my view…… Unnn. How should I say this…… I think it was something out of this world.
