Chapter 930: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ⑤ (1/2)

After reluctantly agreeing to Makina's request and promising to help, Alice told Makina who had managed to successfully ask Kaito out.

[……Listen here, Makina. I'm sure this would be able to stop you for a few times, but honestly, this move is only effective because it catches you off guard, so understand that there's a limit to how many times I can do this.]

[Unnn! Don't worry, I've also prepared a lot of countermeasures myself!]

[Heehhhh…… And your expectations that these countermeasures would work?]

[……About that, to begin with…… If those countermeasures were going to help…… I wouldn't have asked Alice for help.]

[……Guess you're right.]

Makina is also preparing countermeasures to prevent herself from going out of control, but it was honestly just a drop in the bucket, for if she could control herself in the first place, she would have done so in the past.

This time though, she really wanted to spend a day with Kaito without going out of control, so she prepared these measures based on her extreme determination.

Even though Alice felt a certain amount of anxiety, she saw her enthusiastic best friend off with a slightly astounded look on her face.

In the end, her anxiety became reality. The several countermeasures she prepared didn't last long, and Makina was about to go out of control.

(……Ahhh, this won't do. My beloved child is too cute, and I can't take it anymoooooooore!)

Just a few seconds before her reason was blown away, Makina suddenly saw Alice's figure in her vision. However, even though Makina asked Alice to help her, Makina honestly didn't think she could control her excitement, no matter the method Alice used.

With what little reason she had left, Makina wondered what Alice was going to do…… but when she saw the signboard Alice held up…… with a ”large picture of Makina in a bunny suit”……

[ ! ? ! ? ]

It was something Makina didn't expect to see, and her mind went blank for a moment when she saw that signboard. Thereupon, as if her earlier excitement on the verge of going out of control was a lie, other thoughts started popping into her mind one after another.

She remembered that picture. It was back in that world where Makina had met Alice…… When Makina lost to Alice in a casino game on a ship, she was photographed wearing various costumes as a punishment.

(H- How many billion years do you think it's been since then!? Why the heck do you still have those pictures!!!? Ahhh, but seeing that really made me so surprised that it calmed me down…… I have lots of things to say about that photo that is nothing but my black history, but for the time being, it can’t be helped.)

Realizing that her thoughts had calmed down, Makina was able to guess what Alice meant by her words before. This certainly wasn't a method she could use again and again.

The only reason she was able to keep her cool this time was because she didn't expect to see something like that…… Conversely though, since she already knew that Alice had such pictures, her mind wouldn't blank out if Alice did such a thing again.

Feeling relieved that she had gotten through the situation for the moment, Makina wondered if she would be able to make it next time…… but for the time being, Makina went back to her stroll with Kaito.

By returning to Phase 0, along with the countermeasures she prepared, Makina was able to maintain her reasoning for about an hour after that, but she was unable to last any longer and was on the verge of going out of control again.

(Ahhh, I can't hold on anymore…… I'm too filled up with love for my beloved child! I can't stop it anymore, looking at my cosplay pictures won't even work anymore!!!)

As Makina's consciousness started fading away again, she saw Alice holding a signboard behind Kaito. They had taken a lot of cosplay pictures at that time, but now that Makina knew that they exist, they would no longer work……
