Chapter 776: Beach Swimming with my Lovers ③ (2/2)

[Ahaha, Isis-san is so pure that she might be a difficult partner for uncooperative people like me and Fate-san…… Well, I can't really laugh much at others either……]

Alice laughed upon seeing the pairing of Fate and Isis, but then, she let out a small sigh as she turned her gaze to her partner.

Thereupon, her partner gave her a neat salute.

[Alice-dono! I'm looking forward to hanging out with you today! I'm inexperienced with playing around like this, so I may cause you some trouble, but I appreciate your guidance and encouragement!!!]

[……This would be quite exhausting. If I mess around with her too much, Kaito-san will definitely get very angry at me later……]

Yes, Alice's partner is Anima. And as Alice already knows, Anima holds respect close to admiration for Alice, and even now, she's looking at her with sparkling eyes.

In addition, Kaito has repeatedly told her not to destroy Anima's dream, so she can't play around as usual.

[U- Unnn…… Well, I'm in your care.]

[Yes!]

Letting out a sigh in a way Anima wouldn't be able to see, Alice felt that, just like Fate, she would have a hard time today.

While the two pairings were a little confused by the unusual combination, a certain pairing calmly greeted each other.

[Come to think of it, it's the first time we could calmly talk with each other like this, isn't it, Sieg-chan?]

[Yes. I'm in your care, Underworld King-sama.]

[You don't have to be so formal, you can just call me Kuromu. We're just here to have fun.]

[I understand. Well then, I'll call you Kuromu-sama.]

[Unnn! Let's have fun today~~]

Kuromueina and Sieglinde may not have had many opportunities to talk, but because of Kuromueina's sociable personality, the two peacefully smiled.

After having a short conversation like that, moving her gaze while her expression changed a bit, Kuromueina asked Sieglinde.

[……By the way, Sieg-chan. Do you mind if I ask you something?]

[……Yes, what is it?]

Moving her gaze to the same direction Kuromueina was looking at, a complicated expression appeared on Sieglinde's face…… before it turned into a sympathizing one.

On the end of the pair's gaze…… was the final pair.

[……Why is it that Lilia-chan always gets the hardest part? Is she actually under some unknown curse that I can't even notice?]

[……That's also something I just couldn't figure out…… For some reason, she's just like a black hole that seems to always pull all hardships towards her.]

Yes, if Fate and Isis, Alice and Anima, and Sieglinde and Kuromueina are paired together…… The final pair would inevitably be……

[I'm in your care.]

[Y- Yesh!? I- I- I- I'm awso in youw cayw……]

The pair of ”Shallow Vernal and Lilia”. While Shallow Vernal nonchalantly greeted her, Lilia looked pale as she responded, clearly overwhelmed and on the verge of fainting.

<Afterword>

The pairings hanging out together at the beach

Fate & Isis Pair…… Fate's growth is put to the test.

Alice & Anima Pair…… She's so adored by Anima that Alice couldn't joke around with her.

Kuro & Sieg Pair…… The safest team, they'll probably play well together.

Shiro & Lilia Pair…… The troubled person, who just as usual, absorbed the troubles for herself. In a way, the noble lady is just as usual.
