Chapter 934: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ⑨ (2/2)

I had thought of this before…… I feel like she's much more like a commoner than I imagined. Thinking of steak when she hears the words ”fancy food',' she's surprisingly approachable.

How should I say this…… I could feel how dangerous she was, making me feel sweaty from nervousness…… but I don't think she's a bad person.

In fact, even though I can't remember her right now, she seems to be an acquaintance of mine…… so I'm sure she's a good person.

[……Thank you. I'll have a bite then.]

[Unnn, unnn, don't hesitate to ask for more, okay?]

The way she smiled, looking like she was having fun, doesn't exude the dignity of a God, but she looked somewhat cute.

[……Haahhh…… My child as he's eating is also cute.]

However, I still feel that strange chill from time to time……

Thinking about this, I took a burger out of the paper bag and ate it. Since I usually eat the food prepared by the chef, it had been a long time since I had eaten a burger.

No, if I ask someone like Alice perhaps, I think they'd be able to make it for me, so if I want to eat a burger again, I think it's a good idea to ask them.

[Ahh, speaking of which, my child…… I hadn't yet fulfilled my primary purpose for bringing you here.]

[Eh? Your primary purpose?]

[Unnn…… Though I say that, it will just be quick, my child.]

[Yes?]

[……Thanks.]

[Ehh?]

When I tilted my head at her sudden words of thanks, Makina-san spoke with a gentle smile.

[I had been wanting to thank my child in person. It's taken me a long time to do this though.]

[Errr…… What exactly are you thanking me for?]

[For saving my precious ”best friend”.]

[……Best friend?]

[Let's see. Since we're having a meal anyways, let's talk about it again…… My past, without obscuring anything.]

After saying this, Makina-san looked up at the cloudy sky and slowly began to tell her story. The story of a certain world, where a young girl…… and an extremely familiar ”girl who was once known as hero” lives……

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [How about you stop!!!? I don't care if it's about Iris or Makina…… but when it comes to me…… Erhem, to Alice-chan, can you stop talking about her past without her knowledge!!!? Ahh, I can already imagine the pleasant smile they're going to direct Alice-chan later…… Why don't you consider Alice-chan's feelings!?]
