Chapter 864: The Flower Dancing in the Skies ② (2/2)

Thereupon, Ariel-san pulled out a notepad and checked it.

[……It's a bit far from here. I haven't been there much either, but it looks like it's on the main street, so I have some idea of where it is. If you want, should I lead you there?]

[Very grateful…… In other words, I'd appreciate it.]

It was difficult to verbally explain how to go there since it was a bit far away and I never had any particular business with that area, so I just offered to lead her there.

Then, as we walked out of the park and down the street, I exchanged a quick chat with Ariel-san.

[……Speaking of which, why were you dancing there, Ariel-san?]

Ariel-san's dancing was magnificent, but I couldn't connect her dancing with her being lost, so I asked her. Ariel-san then nodded once before explaining.

[I'm unfamiliar with the streets…… In other words, I was lost and wondering what to do. My means to break down my situation was meager…… In other words, I didn't know anyone who was familiar with this area, so I had nothing to do. All I could do was dance…… In other words, dancing would solve most of my problems, so I danced.]

[……No, no! There is no connection between those two things! That doesn't solve anything……]

Her ridiculous theory developed into something ridiculous…… I understand that she's lost and she's in trouble because she doesn't know what to do. Being in an unfamiliar place, I would understand when one feels uneasy and not know where to ask for directions.

But after that, I just don't understand how she arrived at the conclusion of ”Alright, let's dance”. Moreover, this park she was dancing in was enclosed in a barrier, so there is almost no possibility that something will happen that would break her out of her current situation.

[The result is proof…… In other words, look at what happened, ”it had come true”.]

[Uuuuu…… N- Now that you mentioned it…… Indeed.]

Indeed, now that she mentioned it, the reason I'm leading Ariel-san is that I fell in love with Ariel-san's dancing…… and she certainly has somehow managed to get through the situation by dancing.

As I looked like I'm unable to refute her, a really happy smile appeared on Ariel-san's lips.

[Don't overthink…… In other words, sometimes, it's good to not think about things and let things go unplanned. It's the secret to enjoying everyday life…… In other words…… It's advice from your elder.]

[How should I say this…… sounds like you're having fun.]

[I had a good encounter…… In other words, coincidence it may be, I'm glad that I've met Kaito.]

[I- Is that so……]

As I thought, how should I say this…… saying things that make one embarrassed without hesitation, she really is an elusive person.

However, unnn…… If I were to be asked if she's a good person or not, I'm pretty sure that she is a good person.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [I somehow imagine her as an easy-going, fluffy onee-san.]

Makina : [……This is bad, she's taking up my character.]

Serious-senpai : [……What the heck are you talking about? I have lots of tsukkomis I'd like to throw at you, but first of all…… The people here have already had enough with just you alone, so there's no way in heck we would want to see a character overlapping with a lunatic like you!!!]
