Chapter 895: In the Demon Realms City ⑨ (2/2)

[Yes, I know that. I understand that you weren't trying to harm Kaito-san or anything like that. So, what do you want?]

The two of them were frightened by Alice's appearance as the Phantasmal King, but Alice knew that the two of them weren't trying to harm Kaito.

Rather, Alice's body, with its vast amount of combat experience, reflexively disarmed and dealt with the Wide-Area Detection Magic that was released in an attempt to find Kaito.

Bluntly speaking, Alice had already conjectured exactly what the two of them were looking Kaito for…… but for the time being, she wanted to hear it from them, so she showed herself to them.

Looking at each other once, Cento and Cien told Alice that they wanted to apologize for not recognizing Kaito and greeting him…… and for the trouble Tre had caused him.

Hearing this, Alice paused for a moment before speaking.

[……I understand what you're saying. That in itself isn't really something I mind. However, hmmm…… I'd like you to refrain from doing that for now.]

[Does that mean it would be inconvenient for Miyama Kaito-sama?]

[I mean, you do realize that Kaito-san is in the middle of a date, right? If I tell him what's going on, he'll most probably say he'll meet you two, and I'm sure Sieg-san will agree to that…… but you've already taken up a lot of his time today.]

In fact, as Alice said, if she told Kaito what was going on, he would meet them, and Sieglinde would also recommend that he do so.

However, after they finished their greeting to Funf, their date was often interrupted by the successive encounters and contacting the two of them, so Alice wanted to let the two of them spend some time together.

[……Let's see. I'll arrange a place where you can talk to Kaito-san at a later date. How about you apologize and say your greetings to him at that time?]

[Ah, yes. Our apologies for having Phantasmal King-sama mind us.]

[It is also not our intention to trouble Miyama Kaito-sama.]

[That's settled then. I'll contact you later…… Ahh, I also don't think you need to apologize for Tre, because Kaito-san doesn't really mind her antics. In fact, I think he would just tilt his head at you if you apologized.]

When they heard what Alice had said, Cento and Cien looked at each other with a slightly surprised expression on their faces.

[……I- Is that so?]

[H- However, Esteemed Sister Tre had that personality……]

[No, it's seriously okay. She isn't even on the level that Kaito-san considers as ”a weird person”. He knows a lot of people that are worse than that…..]

[ [ ……………… ] ]

Cento and Cien wondered how that would make it any better, but they couldn't say anything about it and only had indescribable expressions on their faces.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Isn't this a rather hellish development for me?]
