Chapter 1650: Within the Night As It Grows Late ④
[Alice, I’ll ask just in case, but are you alright?]
[……Pfft, please don’t underestimate me. It’s a fatal wound.]
[You’re too weak……
[I’ve already told you, I’m a sh*tty noob in romance…… Well, that’s why I’m hoping for something less mentally taxing next time.]
[……We’ve never done anything particularly mentally taxing though…… Whatever.]
].
It seems like Alice wants me to spare her from embarrassing situations, situations that she thinks are mentally taxing. However, even though she said all that, Alice was delighted when we drank that drink together.
Alice loves those over-the-top scenarios, so even though she was a bit stiff at first, she looked happy and had a big smile on her face while drinking. She seemed like she got a one-two punch after receiving another damage from looking back at our situation after we finished drinking, but even when her face was blushing red, her grip was firm and her expression was somewhat joyful.
[Speaking of which, I’m changing the subject, but all things considered, this Founding Festival is peaceful, isn’t it? No, the unveiling of the First Hero’s message was a significant event, but it isn’t really that relevant to us.]
[That’s right. Basically, as long as those two Gods whose way of thinking is beyond common sense don’t make a move, things can go in any direction. Whether all Six Kings or all the Supreme Gods are present, as long as it follows the predetermined arrangement, it wouldn’t lead to much chaos. Everyone initially planned to invite people in such positions and prepared accordingly, so things would work well as long there were no unexpected surprises.]
[I see……]
Indeed, now that she mentioned it, during Symphonia Kingdom’s Founding Festival, it may have been the first instance where all the Six Kings were present, but Lillywood-san was originally planning to come, and the same goes for Archlesia Empire.
In reality, the ceremony didn’t feel all that hectic…… with the only incident coming to my mind being Megiddo-san’s sudden intrusion in Archlesia.
[As for the biggest concern, which is those two Gods, their focus is 100% on Kaito-san. So, unless Kaito-san sets up a stall or something like that, the likelihood of them coming is low. In that sense, it’s less likely for things to turn into a major fuss. Ahh, as for your next date though, my condolences.]
[……I see…… I will be going around with Shiro-san later…… Wait? With how confused I got about talks regarding parallel words, it had slipped off my mind…… but isn’t the situation where I’m going around the festival with Shiro-san in itself quite the big deal?]
[It is quite a big deal. Let me also deliver you some unfortunate news. Even if you realize it now, it’s already too late…… That parallel world temporarily created will probably be based on the start date of the Founding Festival, so even if you go warn someone like Laguna-san at this point, any message you tell her won’t be transmitted to the Laguna-san at the timeline where Kaito-san was going around with Shallow Vernal-sama.]
[……I see, it’s already over huh……]
The peace I have now is temporary, and it seems like the next event will be a definite hellish uproar. If anything, it might go far beyond the First Hero’s message.
[……N- No, but as expected, Shiro-san would have thought of such things and had taken measures to deal with it, right?]
[Hmmm. That is possible. With Shallow Vernal-sama’s recent behavior, there’s no way she wouldn’t understand the chaos that would occur around her from going around the festival. If the surroundings are in chaos, it would also be difficult for her to enjoy going around the festival with Kaito-san, and it certainly wouldn’t be an outcome Shallow Vernal-sama would desire.]
Indeed, Shiro-san’s goal is to enjoy the Founding Festival with me. Therefore, she should be aiming to avoid situations that would cause significant chaos…… In fact, if things really turned out that way, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy going around the festival at all……
(Ahh…… Fumu…… Please don’t worry about it. Of course, I will properly take precautions.)
Whoa there, that reaction just now sounded like that completely slipped off her mind…… Well, for Shiro-san, the whole parallel world situation is probably something she considered irrelevant, but it seems that she’s going to have proper measures in place tomorrow…… or rather, in the timeline when I’m going to go around with Shiro-san.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Fuuuuu, t- that’s right. Let’s calm down. Slowly lower the sweetness levels. It’s dangerous to raise the sugar level too quickly…… Let’s first settle things down……]
Makina : [Fumu…… With Serious-senpai saying that, then next chapter……]
