Chapter 936: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ? (1/2)

Whenever I hang out with Alice, I usually go to her miscellaneous goods store. She was basically always guarding me, so even if I were to call her in my room, Alice would show up…… but it has become somewhat a habit from back then, so when I want to play a game with Alice, I go to her miscellaneous goods store.

Incidentally, this time, it seems that the commercial version of the feyblade that we played at the previous Six Kings Festival was completed, and before it went on sale to the public, I'm visiting to play with her.

I got the impression that the game had been improved since the Six Kings Festival, making it easier for younger players to play, so I had a feeling that it would be popular.

After that, Alice and I played a board game together. Though I say that, it wasn't chess or shogi, which I'm not very good at, but a different version of the sugoroku game we had played before.

[……Ummm, Kaito-san?]

[Unnn?]

[……No, it might not just be my imagination……]

Thereupon, Alice stopped the hand that was about to make her move, looked at me and spoke…… Rather than Alice not getting her thoughts clear, it seems like she was hesitating in saying it.

[……Why do I feel like Kaito-san's gaze towards me today is overflowing with kindness?]

[………………..]

[No, I don't really have any basis to it, but your gaze feels rather itchy and I can't calm down here……]

[Even if you say that……]

When Alice told me such a thing, I had thought of something…… but it's very difficult to explain why in words.

[No, I don't really understand it either…… but somehow, looking at Alice makes me smile……]

[Eh? What's with that?]

[Hmmm. I really don't know why…… but it somehow makes me smile.]

[Ehhhh, your words don't answer anything though…… I mean, Alice-chan really feels uncomfortable here! You're making me nervous here!!!]

Alice complained in an embarrassed manner, but I couldn't figure out the cause of her complaint either. I really just somehow feel like smiling when I look at Alice.

I don't really know why I feel like this, but this feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling I had when I asked Iris-san about Alice's past.

It kinda feels like, even though Alice says all sorts of things, the fact that she's a kind person makes me smile.

But what's troubling though is I don't know what the cause of this is. It's not that I've heard anything from Iris-san, or I've learned something new about Alice's nonchalant expression of kindness.

[……Though you say that, I don't know what's causing it either.]

[H- Hmmm…… I wonder what that is. Your gaze kinda makes me embarrassed here…… Well, if you don't know the cause, I guess it couldn't be helped.]

[Unnn. Well, if I thought of something, I'll tell you.]
