Chapter 898: The Sun Named 3 ② (2/2)

[……Kaito helped you two find me. Which means, shouldn't you treat him as the kind person who helped you out?]

[Y- Yes……]

[It is as you say.]

[And yet, as soon as you found out that he's Kuromu-sama's lover…… The ”thank you for helping us” turned into ”I'm sorry for bothering you”…… How can you describe that as respecting Kaito?]

[  [ ! ? ] ]

Tre-san's words made Cento-san and Cien-san look shocked. It seems like Tre-san really has a good grasp of the true nature of a person, or rather, she seems to understand others very well.

I certainly was thinking about this…… Or rather, I feel like they were humbling themselves too much.

[That's why…… The person we're meeting here is the person who helped you out, which just so happened to be Kuromu-sama's lover, so I think it's okay to visit her to introduce ourselves and thank him again. It depends on who you're talking to, but for this case, you two should relax more while keeping some respect to Kaito.]

[……Cento.]

[Unnn, it seems like….. the one who needs to apologize wasn't Esteemed Sister Tre, but us.]

After listening to the advice Tre-san said with a smile, Cento-san and Cien-san seemed to have relaxed a bit,  and after they exchanged glances, their expressions softened.

Then, nodding at each other, they turned to me and spoke.

[I'm sorry, we're being so conscious of you being Kuromu-sama's lover that we acted rudely instead.]

[……If it's not too much trouble, just like Esteemed Sister Tre, Cento and I would also like to treat you as friends, so may we call you Miyama-san?]

[Yes, of course.]

[Once again, thank you for helping us find Esteemed Sister Tre yesterday.]

[You have been a really great help for Cento and I.]

The expressions on their faces as they spoke were softer than before, and they seemed much more approachable. Seeing this, after nodding in satisfaction, Tre-san reached out for the cookies again…… It feels like she'd end up eating all of it by herself.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Fumu, well, as for me, I'm relieved that Sieg's turn ended on a less sweet note.]

? ? ? : [Eh? What are you talking about? Sieg-san's turn ”hasn't arrived yet” though?]

Serious-senpai : [……Huh? No, but didn't they have that date in the Demon Realm……]

? ? ? : [No, that was just an introduction event for Funf-san though? You do know that the series where Kaito-san spends time with his lovers, Kuro-san, Isis-san and I, was a complete arc, right? There's no way they'd leave Sieg-san out of this.]

Serious-senpai : [……Wait, please, wait a moment…… That means……]

? ? ? : [The lovey-dovey arc with Sieg-san will happen after the chapters related to Tre-san ends.]

Serious-senpai : [You're lying, right? Tell me you're lying…… I'm begging you!!!]
