Chapter 965: Festival Date with Alice ③ (1/2)

Sitting down on the grass alongside Alice, we prepared some of the food that we had brought. There were no insects or anything like that within this space, so we can enjoy ourselves very comfortably.

Compared to the bazaar, this space was a little dimmer, so it was easier for us to see the fireworks.

[Errr, there's still some time before it starts, right?]

[If we assume that the fireworks will start exactly one hour from the time we parted with Makina, then we have about fifteen minutes left.]

[Then, let's just relax until it starts……]

I'm not very hungry, so the food we prepared is mostly for Alice, but it's also nice to be able to relax a bit in a quiet place since we've been going around the brightly lit bazaar along the way here.

Well, compared to the normal festival bazaars, there aren't many people here, so I didn't really feel that tired…… But as I had such thoughts in mind, Alice suddenly tugged at the hem of my yukata.

[Unnn?]

[Errr…… Ummm…… I have something I'd like to try……]

[Something you'd like to try? You mean something lover-like, right…… Like, kissing the moment the fireworks go off?]

[That may look beautiful from a third person's point of view, but we won't really see anything even if we do that, right……]

[I guess that's true.]

Alice is also getting used to being pampered…… Rather, even if she's embarrassed, she seemed to have decided to be aggressive today, and I can see that she was a little bolder than at the beginning of our date.

Well, her face is still as red as usual, so she really must be doing her best……

[……So, in the end, what did you want to try out?]

[Well, about our posture while watching the fireworks…… First, Kaito-san would sit cross-legged.]

[That's rather difficult to do while in a yukata…… Unnn, what's this?]

As I responded to Alice's words, asking me to sit down cross-legged, something that looked like a game window appeared in mid-air.

Errr, let's see…… ”This console is designed to automatically show up when my child wants to change clothes. Just touch the clothes you want to swap in and you'd change into them”…… She's well-prepared.

[……She's very prepared.]

[That piece of junk…… She definitely used her omniscience and foresaw this, didn't she?]

[Well, anyway…… Ahh, there's a samue in the list, so I'll change into that.]

The console showed quite a variety of clothes, even those that looked like something cosplayers wear…… Ignoring those for the time being, I found the samue and touched it.

Thereupon, I realized that my clothes had already been changed into a samue…… I was surprised, but considering that the person who prepared it was omniscient and omnipotent, it wouldn't be surprising if she could do something like this.

After pressing the ”x” button on the console to turn off the screen, I sat down cross legged as Alice had requested.

[……Is this alright?]

[Yes, after that…… Please wait a moment. I need to prepare myself…… For now, take a deep breath———- Hyaahhh!?]

I somewhat knew what Alice wanted to do, but I'm not really sure if she could make it in time for the fireworks if I waited for her to finish preparing herself, so I decided to make my move.

Pulling Alice's body to me and sitting her down above my lap, I gently hugged her small body from behind.
