Chapter 707: Lets Have a Housewarming Party ⑧ (2/2)

[…..By the way, do you mind if I ask something?]

[Unnn? What is it?]

[……Kuro, why are you wearing ”pajamas” tonight?]

[Ahh~~ No, it doesn't really have any deeper meaning, you know!? It's just, well, for this and that. That's right! You know, I've been busy lately, so I'm just feeling a little tired……]

For some reason, from the moment she appeared in my room…… Kuro had been dressed in pajamas with baby castella patterns in it, and when I asked her about it, she looked away and answered, sounding slightly flustered.

How should I say this…… Rather than being a bad liar…… What she's thinking about is just so easy to tell because even when her face is turned away, she was still glancing at me.

[……Errr…… Do you want to stay the night?]

[Is that alright!? Ahh, no…… Erhem. I guess that's good. We don't want to oversleep since there's a party tomorrow after all! Since Kaito-kun's inviting me, I guess I'll take you up on your offer!]

[………………….]

The one who said such a thing is the little girl Demon who had claimed that she hadn't slept in several thousand years. However, hmmm…… I wonder what it is that she really wants?

To be honest, the flow of this conversation is unlike Kuro. If I asked Kuro why she's in her pajamas before, I'm sure she would have just said ”Unnn? Because I'm going to sleep at Kaito-kun's place tonight!” or something like that……

As I was thinking about this, Kuro muttered something in a small voice that I couldn't quite hear.

[……A- And you see…… I- I've read stuff from books…… and studied many things…… so if Kaito-kun wants……]

[Unnn? Sorry, what did you just say?]

[ ! ? ! ? I- I- I- I didn't say anything! Ahh! It's already late! Let's go to bed!!!]

[Eh? No, it's still 9:00 pm……]

[Come on! Kaito-kun, we have an early day tomorrow, so come on. Lay down already.]

[Wait!? Kuro? What are you———– You're too strong!]

In the end, I received no answer to my question, while the red-faced Kuro literally threw me on the bed and put me to sleep much earlier than I expected.

After a long night, I woke up feeling strangely languid and sleepy, and after washing my face, I headed for the garden where the party would be held.

The party is scheduled to start at 10:00am, but some of the early birds may have arrived already, so I need to be there to meet them.

Anyway, all sorts of things may have happened…… My home's housewarming party is finally about to begin.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Aiiieeeeeehhhhhh! Main Heroine!? Main Heroine, whyyyyyy!? WHHHHYYYYYYY!? Why are you bringing out that topic at a moment like this…… Even though the d*mned party is finally starting!!!]

? ? ? : [……It was apparently because the recent chapters lack sugar.]

Serious-senpai : [Put that strange pride away! Stop throwing surprise attacks at meeeee!!!]
