Chapter 937: Intermission : Alice ~ ~ The Meeting of the Two Best Friends ~ ~ (2/2)

[………………..]

Alice thought that the conversation would end soon…… but Iris and Makina's conversation continued to heat up even after half an hour, and one after another, they began talking about the episodes in Alice's past that only they knew.

Moreover, in such situations, the stories were usually about her mistakes, and thus, Alice was about to reach the end of her patience.

[……She had this crisp look on her face. Well, if it weren't for that seaweed on her head, she would have looked cool.]

[She certainly has a helplessly duncy part in her. When we were traveling……]

[Cut it out alreaaaaaddddyy!!!]

[ [ Unnn? ] ]

[It's been an hour already! How long are you going to have fun talking about people's embarrassing episodes!!!? Are you planning to make me listen to this all daaaaaay!!!?]

Alice had put up with them, controlling herself, but as expected, she couldn't stand any more shame play and furiously flared up at the two of them.

Well, even if she stopped them here…… It would just end up in a situation where ”they'd pick up this conversation where they left off next time”……

[……Ummm, Alice?]

[What is it?]

[Why are you in such a foul mood?]

[……It's not that big of a deal. I was just regretting what I did back then and my carelessness.]

[……You sure regret things rather frequently huh…… Well, I get that you're in a foul mood, but where are you dragging me to?]

As the grumpy Alice pulled his hand, Kaito had an indescribable expression on his face.

[Alice-chan is in grief! Your cute lover is in grief, so Kaito-san has to help in caring for my feelings, right?]

[……No, I'll help you but…… Where are you taking me to care after your feelings?]

[Please accompany me while I'm stress eating!!!]

[……Caring after your feelings means that huh…… No, well, if that's okay with you, then alright.]

As Alice asked him to hang out with her while she was feeling despair, dumbfoundedly muttering, Kaito just wryly smiled with an expression that seemed to say that it couldn't be helped.

……Incidentally, as a result of being asked to ”help out”, he ended up having to pay for the food she ate, so in a sense, the person who suffered the most from this incident might be Kaito.

<Afterword>

Q : What will happen if Alice, who usually eats a lot of food, stress eats?

A : Several white gold coins (worth around 10 million) disappeared from Kaito's purse.
