Chapter 241 Christmas Extra ~~ To You who Became Honest ~~ (2/2)

Perhaps, this is one of the benefits of the Christmas event.

And thus, Alice cooks really quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the table is lined with gorgeous Christmas dishes.

It’s not the amount of food that can be eaten by two, but Alice eats so much that I’m wondering where she fits all those food inside her small body, so this amount should be a problem…… Or rather, I’m afraid that this amount may not even be enough.

[Come on, let’s eat.]

[Yeah…… ahh, wait a moment, Alice.]

[Fuehh? What is it?]

[……When we’re alone together?]

[Ughhh…….]

Quickly stopping Alice from sitting down at the table to start eating, I told her so, holding some kind of meaning…… Alice’s cheeks blushed as if she was shy, and she moved her gaze hesitantly a few times.

And then, after a little while, she lets out a sigh. Touching the opera mask on her face, she removes it.

[I- Is this alright?]

[Unnn.]

[Uuuuhhh… As expected, even though I’m used to it, I’m still getting embarrassed……]

Her sapphire blue eyes restlessly moving about, Alice mutters while her face is blushing red.

Alice and I had previously made an agreement that she would take off her mask only when we were alone, and I didn’t know if that was because of that or not, but it seems that Alice has gotten used to it a little more recently.

[……It’s only Kaito-san……. that’s asking me such an embarrassing request……]

[I know. Thanks.]

[Auuuuhhh……]

Sitting down at the table with the unmasked Alice, we began to eat the Christmas food that had been prepared for us.

When I opened a bottle of wine, which was a bit more expensive than usual, I tasted the absurdly delicious food…… That’s when I heard Alice mutter.

[……Kaito-san…… Thank you so much for today.]

[Unnn?]

[N- No, I mean…… for spending Christmas like this with me……]

[………………….]

Turning her face down in embarrassment, her voice is just barely enough for me to hear…… When I heard that, I am aware of the smile that naturally appears on my lips, and even though I feel embarrassed at the same time, I responded.

[……That’s kinda unusually straightforward.]

[Whoa there, I didn’t expect that you would speak ill of me there. This Alice-chan has always been an honest and cute beauty, you know!?]

[……Unnn. I think you’re really cute today.]

[U- Uuhhh…… Like I said, such straightforward compliments are……]

Even I myself feel embarrassed, saying such honest compliments…… Chuckling at Alice’s response that is typical of her, I get up from my chair and approach her.

As I stare back into Alice’s eyes, who’s looking at me with her head tilted, as if she doesn’t understand my intentions, I hugged her little body that perfectly fits in my embrace.

[Hyaaahhhh!? K- Kaito-san!? W- What are you suddenly doing……]

[……Thank you. I’m having fun with Alice today.]

[……Kaito…… -san.]

We had already been in a relationship for a long time…… And I can brag that I know the real Alice better than anyone else in the world.

Was that the reason why? …… It’s just that I felt like I had to do this. She’s never been very honest, but today, she spoke her mind a little bit…… That’s why, I will receive her thoughts.

Alice stiffened while she was in my embrace, then slowly, she put her hands behind my back and rubbed her face against my chest, as if she were clinging to me.

[……Kaito-san…… Please don’t go anywhere…… I……]

[Unnn, it’s alright. I won’t leave you alone……]

[……Yes…… I love you. Kaito-san……]

Christmas…… This day has been one of the painful days I had a few years back then…… But this Christmas, I was able to receive the love and affection of my beloved girl as much as I could, and I was able to spend that day very happily.
